Features
ARREST WARRANTS
Arrest Warrants are a new part of the gameplay, escaping the police isn’t enough anymore - now you must continue to avoid police or risk resuming a chase you thought you escaped. Once wanted the police can identify you and your vehicle if you let them get too close. Once you escape you will have an Arrest Warrant issued for you and/or your vehicle and police will be looking for those descriptions.
BETTER CHASES
With Better Chases the police have a much larger range of responses based on your actions. A chase begins with a limited police response and depending how you try to evade police will determine the force used against you. Drive recklessly by hitting pedestrians or police and you will quickly find the chase has become much more serious.

- Arrest Warrants are saved and loaded with the game.
BETTER CHASES
With Better Chases the police have a much larger range of responses based on your actions.

- Install Stolen (optional) if you want police to react to driving stolen vehicles
Known Issues

@SOUTHERNxSAMMY would be good to know the script that causes issues with this mod

Great mod. However, there is an issue on ultrawide setups. When using this mod, things like the pop up messages and the mission failed/wasted screens are stretched to all hell and it really bothers me.

I don't think the warrants are working. I gave myself 4 stars, made sure that they had plenty of time to see me, and when I removed my wanted level and stood right in front of them, they didn't recognize me or do anything

Im playing this mod with LS Life, and everytime i start dealing drugs ( It can be even in a tunnel) a cop car somehow finds me in the middle of nowhere and recognizes me.
March 24, 2021 -
With the latest NVE, LA Revo 2.0, or QuantV, this mod causes crash to desktop. Something with the scripts throwing the dreaded 'clr.dll' error - removed this mod and no more crashes.
Please update this mod and/or fix it. Great mod and makes GTA V a lot more fun.

the infos at the bottom right has the symbols superimposed on the wording, did I do something wrong in the installation, or do I need to set something to adjust the character and positioning? (laso: nice scripts)
April 05, 2021 -
-
ok I found how to fix the icons position, in the BetterCasesConfig.xml need to be change <IconOffsetX>0</IconOffsetX> for left/right and <IconOffsetY>0</IconOffsetY> for up/down (changing the values depending on your positioning needs).

@Asmir1999 I think this is a feature of LS life itself, as I can't find anything in the setting for turning of response to "dealing". It's dumb as hell how the cops are constantly on your ass, I can barely set up and deal somewhere for longer than a minute or so before I'm dodging a cop around the block, and he chases me down like a bloodhound knowing where I'm at every time. Currently trying to figure out a way to use this mod with LS Life or a way to make cops respond less to "dealing" as it's not something that locals should be reporting realistically. Especially in the southside.

What are the easiest possible settings in order to have pretty passive "dealing" with LS life on the southside without constantly having to run from the cops every 30-60 seconds. lol

does this work with world of variety? if so how do I get it working or..? how can I tell if it is..because before it was having pop ups during police encounters and chases but now it does not after installing world of variety.

Plans for this mod for the new 2-4 weeks...
I will be working on a 1.1.2 fix release to address some of the bugs you guys have found first, that should be done sometime this week.
1.2 work is about to begin which will take about 2-3 weeks, maybe less. Why so quick, you might ask - well in 2-3 weeks I am set to begin working with the RDE team on integrating this mod with RDE 4.0 which is nearing completion.
So what will 1.2 look like? Well I could use your thoughts and ideas on that but here is my basic outline:
4 Phases to identify a person or a vehicle with the first phase being very easy or instant for police to gain, but each phase after requires better LOS to gain. The last (4th) phase is when the person's name or vehicle's license plate (think identity) is gained an a true warrant is issued after escaping a chase. Prior to the last phase where you are identified, instead of a "warrant" being issued an "APB" will be issued based on the description the police managed to get (identity phase).
Person Identity Phases:
1. Race & Gender (White Male)
2. Clothing (Gray Suite)
3. Height & Weight (5' 11" 195lbs)
4. Name (Michael De Santa)
Vehicle Identity Phases:
1. Color & Class (Red Sports Car)
2. Make (Grotti)
3. Model (Carbonizzare)
4. Plate (888VEH) - possibly tail number for aircraft???
For phase 1-3 an "APB" will be issued and police will follow you when you match it, for example if you drive by a random police car they will try to causally follow you for awhile, but won't start a chase or "recognize" you - so you just need to not cause trouble and get a wanted level until they lose interest in you (based on how close you match the APB).
For phase 4 a "Warrant" will be issued and police will act more like they do now, they will approach/follow you based on how close you match the last description (identified phase) and once they get close enough they will identify you and a chase will resume.
Other changes:
* Police cannot identify you (phase 4) if you are wearing a mask (change license plate for vehicles)
* Each identity phase will have config settings to adjust the "difficulty" of the mod
* Player character config settings in XML for name, height, weight, race, and gender for when you play as a ped other than the 3 main story characters.
