Basic Callouts 1.0.6

To add money just do (replacing 100f with whatever amount you want):

Game.LocalPlayer.Money += 100f;

Thank you, I was trying to use Game.LocalPlayer.Character.Money and then tried the native and nothing worked, this worked like a breeze. Will be in next update

thank you rdrfr is in dire need of callouts

This looks very promising indeed. I might get back into RDRFR now that there's something more to do. Not that it was boring before, but it needs some more callouts to provide some variety!

Just updated with 5 new callouts for a total of 11, get 'em while they're hot!

Thanks! Is there a way to get a payout for completing the callout?

Question for you; when I arrest a suspect and call for pickup the sheriff that picks him up just seems to wander aimlessly around and if I accept another callout then things tend to get screwed up. After an arrest what is suppose to happen? The sheriff that picked him up is just wandering around Valentine with the perp over the back of his saddle and a red dot on my map.

The payout should be given automatically upon completion of the callout. As for that bug, I unfortunately think that's a bug in RDRFR itself where the criminal isn't considered dead or arrested even though they actually are, I get this bug sometimes too. Right now the workaround is to press "X" on the keyboard whenever this happens to force the callout to end. This won't give you any money however, but right now its the only workaround. I'm gonna try to code a fix but I'm not sure how much I can do with this issue

Would it be possible to make a menu where we can select which callout we wanna do? And of course add a 'End Callout' button in the same menu too!

Not a menu, but you could use the console command StartCallout. 

I guess I don't understand what 'ends' some of the callouts. If I shoot or kill the suspect it ends and I get paid. If I arrest them and call for pickup then it never seems to end or if the deputy that picked up the suspect finally disappears after wandering around I don't get paid. If I pick up the suspect and deliver him to the jail I don't get paid either. What should happen after I arrest and tie up the suspect?

Also I'm seeing lots of witnesses and suspect spawning inside of locked buildings and on balconies that are inaccessible. 'X' will kill the callout but it seems to be happening quite a bit. Oddly in Rhodes more than in Valentine since I'd expect the density of buildings to cause it to happen more often. I haven't tried Saint Denis yet but with the density of buildings there I'd think it would happen even more. There is a mod somewhere that unlocks all buildings so doing what that mod does when you go on duty might help.

If it's going to work, you will get a "suspect arrested" message and get your payout as soon as you finish tying the suspect up. If it doesnt happen immediately after tying the suspect up, it's probably not going to work and you will have to press "X" to end the callout. Does it happen on all callouts or only some? I will try to implement a short term fix, probably holding down a button after arrest to force the callout to proceed/end. @LMSdo you have any ideas for dealing with this bug where the ped isnt marked as arrested even though they are? I am using isPedArrested and isPlayerArresting currently to check the ped's status but it seems somewhat unreliable.

As for the locked buildings, I would recommend installing the OpenAllInteriors mod, I use it and have no issues. I probably wont implement it in this mod as that mod works fine by itself. As for spawning on balconies, I think I
can fix that in the next update relatively easy.

It doesn't appear to happen on all callouts. Rhodes callouts seem to complete more than Valentine. Love the mod though, I'll install the Unlock all Interiors mod as you suggested. Thanks very much! Keep up the great work, there can't be enough new good post-Epilogue mods! 🙂

If you could make a list of the callouts that dont acknowledge the arrest I can narrow it down and try some things, you can try the different callouts by using the StartCallout command in the Rage command prompt

Will do, probably later today or tomorrow. I also downloaded and installed Open All Doors. Unfortunately it doesn't unlock a few buildings in Rhodes specifically the Mountain View Hotel. That's the location I get quite a few peds spawning inside and on the balcony. Had one or two spawn inside the Undertaker and that one is also not unlocked by Open All Doors. I reported those buildings for the author of that mod.

I am not entirely sure, it could be that our detection code for arrests not done via RDRFR is not as reliable as we would like. I will double check.

Had an instance in Blackwater where I went to arrest a murder suspect, as I was getting my rope out he ran and all I could do was walk slowly after him. 'X' wouldn't kill the callout and another ped started following me asking for help. Only option was to quit the game.

Might suggest not to take control of the player character or at least have a way of recovering control. If I could have run and controlled my direction I could have caught him.

That's a problem with RDRFR arrest logic and not this plugin, this plugin doesnt control the player character. A way I found to get out of the animation cycle is to open the RAGE command prompt and type "ClearTasks" and then "Nudge", usually doing that a couple times will restore control of the character

@Spinning Cloud Can you test the latest version of the callouts? I believe I have fixed a lot of the issues you were experiencing 🙂

Problem with the latest version.

Most callouts in Valentine and Blackwater (only towns I've checked so far) result in an immediate "Disregard" message upon accepting. Others result in "Suspect killed" and payment made upon accepting.

With this latest version it seems that most callouts that would have two peds to question for description and location end up with the "Disregard" message.

Try restarting the game and see if that helps the issue, there is a known bug that has to do with the finished callout on accepting that I can address in the next update. This version has been pretty stable for me in blackwater but sometimes if you keep getting the "Disregard" message even if the town is populated, restarting the game works

I'll give that a try but likely not till morning.

Just gave latest version another try in Blackwater. Mostly was OK. Had a few that spawned inside a building in the alley. Had two that by the time I ran to the suspect location it disappeared. And had a few that ended when I accepted and gave me payout. Did not though see a "Disregard" message.

I can't seem to find the plugins folder in my rdfr folder is there another mod that I need

Hey you should also add prison transport call-out.
