Better Chases + Arrest Warrant 1.2b

176,398

[2019] - BetterChases+ is now released. It is a modern rework and continuation of Better Chases, parting from its sourcecode, worked on by Daimian.

[2018] - I've picked up this project again, briefly. It is a little broken (Arrest Warrant doesn't work at all), I'll be on and off fixing stuff in the coming months.
1.2 should have better performance, for starters.

--------------------------------------

Better Chases + Arrest Warrant contains a few modules that make the police of San Andreas more professional in their job of getting you, plus the revival of the old Arrest Warrant script, rewriten from scratch and with more features!

Check the two first videos to see an example of how the script works.


Arrest Warrant Features
  • Realistic Identification & Recognition (cops require LOS)
  • Dynamic HUD showing you what the cops know, and if you're in danger
  • Dynamic Warrant Length, bases on how many stars you had when escaped
  • Cops will investigate if you or your car match the Warrant
  • You can avoid being identified by wearing masks, helmets or driving a vehicle with tinted windows. Ducking inside a vehicle also works.

Better Chases Features
  • Cops now require PIT authorization to ram you
  • They also require Lethal Force authorization to start shooting at you
  • Your actions now prompt an adequate response from the police, from PIT/Lethal Force authorization to a higher wanted level
  • No matter how high your Wanted Level is, you can surrender by pressing E while standing still, provided there is a cop nearby.

General
  • PDF Guide, detailing the script features.
  • Ingame menu to customize your experience (Default key: Add (+), changeable).
  • Both modules are compatible with RDE and FiveStaResponse.



Installation
"Better Chases.dll", "NativeUI.dll" & "BetterChasesConfig.xml" go to the scripts folder.
If you don't have one, create it.

.NET Framework 4.5.2
Visual C++ 2015
ScriptHookV
ScriptHookVDotNet
NativeUI 1.6.1 (Included)

FAQ
Q: Why are the both scripts merged into one single file?
A: Performance optimization. Both scripts work with police NPCs and calculate cop LOS to the player.

Q: Can I disable one of the modules if I don't want it?
A: Yes. Use the Ingame menu (Add).

Q: Does Arrest Warrant work with multiple characters?
A: Sadly, no. If you change characters and get Wanted while an arrest warrant is active for the other character, it will be overriden. There are no plans on fixing this for now, it would be too complex to handle.

Q: Is this compatible with Police Killer?
A: No, sorry. Both Police Killer and Better Chases take control over the Wanted Level and conflict.

Q: CAN YOU PORT THIS TO ONLINE MULTIPLAYER
A: No.

Q: Can you change the Arrest Warrant timer to Ingame time? So we can wait out the warrant by waiting ingame (sleeping, passing time in the hospital).
A: Haven't figured how to do it as of now. If I learn how it's done, be sure it will be changed.

Future plans (I can't promise anything)
  • Raids.
  • Weapon removal when you are arrested.
  • Special units for Better Chases.
  • Bribes.
