Features
- Revamped Wanted Level to be a progressive system with extensive customization
- A more realistic and proportional police response
- Arrest Warrant system that adds new gameplay after a chase ends
- Significantly enhances the overall police gameplay
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.
- Each character & vehicle can have their own arrest warrant. If the police identify your vehicle in a chase, escape and then get a new vehicle or risk the police recognizing it and starting the chase again.
- Change your appearance by changing clothes or painting a vehicle to make it harder for police to recognize you.
- 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. 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.
- Overhauled how the wanted system progresses from 1 star to 5 stars via crimes & more.
- Extensive customization allows you to tailor your own experience.
- Build the wanted level based on crimes you commit during a police chase.
- Police aggressiveness is now controllable and proportional.
Requirements
- ScriptHookV Latest
- ScriptHookVDotNet 3.0.4
- NativeUI 1.7 - 1.9.1
Installation
- "Better Chases+.dll" & "BetterChasesConfig.xml" go in your GTAV scripts folder. If you don't have one, create it.
- "Better Chases+.pdb" is recommended but not required and goes in the same location as the same name dll file above. It helps debug issues by giving exact lines numbers during errors
- Install Stolen (optional) if you want police to react to driving stolen vehicles
Known Issues
- Police will shoot you with stun guns and not arrest you above 1 star - you must use the surrender feature because Rockstar
Other Modders
You can issue a warrant with newly public methods, example:
BetterChasesPlus.ArrestWarrants.ActiveWarrant.WantedLevel = 1;
BetterChasesPlus.ArrestWarrants.IdentifyPlayer();
BetterChasesPlus.ArrestWarrants.IssueWarrant(BetterChasesPlus.ArrestWarrants.ActiveWarrant);

@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.
April 16, 2021 -
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.

Ive got a weird glitch where its looking for C;\Users\josh\ Some render file
April 22, 2021 -
Honestly I'm too lazy to re-enable mods for my GTA install but, if not already, you can use these audio files from Grand Theft Auto V\x64\audio\sfx\POLICE_SCANNER.rpf\01_custom_player_flow.awc if a story character is spotted after full identification:
0x02D9EA4C.wav (Suspect is Franklin Clinton)
0x1B360F7C.wav (Attention all units, suspect is reported as Michael "De Santo" De Santa)
0x01A271E2.wav (Officers report sighting- of Trevor Phillips)April 26, 2021 -
is there any way to reactivate cops using taser while you are in a vehicle? because you can stand still on a motorbike in front of them and they won't do anything

If you guys have problems running this with LS Life, I recommend to disable the Arrest Warrant module in the menu (F7) and install "WarrantV" for this. Those three mods work great together. No issues, no cops constantly chasing you (unless you let them hang on your ass all the time).

is there a way to change so when they don't see me and they are searching they don't drive normally without siren and lights?

Fantastic mod but I can't open the menu even with latest version of Native UI. Please help, thank you.
May 26, 2021 -
Hello, thank you very much for the mod. I have a problem with the menu, it is not displayed correctly, the window layout to be 30% wide, instead of 100%. My monitor is 49 wirescreen with 5120x1440 resolution, could it be the problem? With other mods I see the menu options correctly. Thanks.

Has anyone got any luck getting this to work, I have scripthookvdotnet installed and native UI and it still wont load most of the mod or be able to use the hotkey to work

I tested this mod on 1180, 2189 clean, 2189 with mods. Everywhere it is the same: the police do not respond to the weapon in my hands, the stolen car and do not recognize me after some time after the chase. All this until you physically touch them, after which the script is immediately triggered. The same applies to the original version of the mod from "Eddim".
June 19, 2021 -
Is there a way to dispatch more cops? Is this an intended feature with the script or is it a bug? There's literally no cops coming after me at any wanted star level. With 5 stars a roadblock occasionally appears with one cop but that's it. If this is an intended feature of the mod, is there any way to disable this? All I really want is the arrest warrants. Sort of like RDE where there's a crap ton of cops during chases but you can still have a warrant on your head.

""Better Chases+.dll" & "BetterChasesConfig.xml" go in your GTAV scripts folder. If you don't have one, create it."
Ok... Where? In the main GTAV folder?

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.
