Aw thanks for trying man and helpful to know it's not my formatting!!
Btw I had terrible performance for a while turned out to be this same mod of my own, where i had set police ideal spawn distance too high. I speculate that they were causing loading of resources where they were spawned, but idrk why.
@ReNNie I thought of that but other dispatch mods have new groups aswell 
will just have to investigate harder i guess, thanks anyways man
Aha, might be worth a try then. But then if you haven't done it, idk why I would.
Would you take a little look? 
https://www.darkloot.com/web/dispatch.meta
There's only 2 new entries and they just won't dispatch/spawn - FBI_CAR and FBI_ROAD_BLOCK_CARS
Which file would that be, my dude?
Everything seems in order in the dispatch.meta, the peds are added as PedModel or whatever the directive is in dispatch.
HI guys,
Got a wave of motivation and decided to upgrade my gameplay mod with secret service agents and crap for Wanted level 5.
Much to my dismay almost none of the stuff I added will spawn. I got police4 vehicle working, but only with the regular cop model.
Even S_F_Y_Cop_01 won't spawn despite me adding her everywhere that S_M_Y_Cop already was.
I tried adding entries to the PedVariations section for the new models, didn't work.
I tried setting their personality to police in peds.ymt, also didn't work.
I can't even figure it out from looking at other dispatch mods files smh 
Can anyone share with me the secret of how to get any ped model to spawn in dispatch as cop?
Will happily give credit on mod page (Natural realism gameplay)
Thx!
Idk but I like this. I suggest to trace the way in which dirt is applied. If it's some kind of vehicle component it should be easy. I'm afraid it might be it's own value though, and probably need some scriptmod to alter behaviour for traffic spawn.
@eshenk Thanks! But I think I would pass on those LOD values as it's not a low LOD issue, it's literally whole street blocks vanishing below me, but those streamingengine might help for sure. I did try raising those before, but the issue persisted that time so I reverted it.
Normal textures and lower res "fixed" it for now.. but before this update, I was playing 4K with better settings and textures than I have now, lol. Can't even use the stupid casino 
@eshenk Wtf, yeah yours look familiar too I guess that was why! Small modding world.
@eshenk Welp I tried it and tried matching the figures and it all seems to be working beautifully! Uploaded as Natural Realism Graphics 3.0 and crediting you, thx again!
@eshenk No frikkin way! I was staring at those the other day wondering if it could possibly be describing the shape of an LOD perimeter! But couldn't bothered to do a reload to test... thank you so much! I will try it.
You think coupling it with MaxCreationDistance stuff in gameconfig.xml would produce desired result? It's not so bad if there is a blank area where nothing spawns though. Better than headlights vanishing as you drive!
Will have to credit you on my mod assuming it works 
Something in the distantlight.* section, maybe. I tried distantlight.carlight whatever it is, but I don't think it helped.
None of the creationdistance values in gameconfig seemed to help it either.. fuck
You know those ones you can see at night, always disappearing at a certain distance? At same point, real cars are rendered, but not the same models or in the same places, so it's quite crummy.
I've been trying for days to figure out what those are and what available cfg values might change it.
lodlight.small.range 250.0
lodlight.medium.range 750.0
lodlight.large.range 2500.0
Thought it might be these just now, but again no luck. I'm trying to do this for one of my mods for release - to push back the distance where the crappy fake LOD cars are culled and real ones created, by about 50% - 100%.
Any help very appreciated, even earn you a credit on my mod if it's precise
@PsiBurner Damn man, I have it for like 5 - 10 seconds at a time.
Thing is, I haven't changed my rig and it used to run fine with way more stuff. Maybe some crappy Win10 update did this?
Tried reinstalling graphics drivers fresh now, no change. Used to run better on a damned HDD!
1050 Ti 3gb
i5 2500k 3.5ghz
8gb RAM DDR3 1600
SSD's
I'm pretty sure this only started with Diamond DLC update.. since then I went from 4k to 1920, removed all mods, removed GTA ReSized, switched textures V High -> Normal, tried various gameconfigs and still fucking vanishing textures when I drive 
Anyone else??
@Albercikus All In The Game mod bro! It can make it too easy, but then you can just set limits for yourself i.e. cannot sell cocaine or heroin, cannot sell to dealers, etc
Nope. It's up to you, there's too much out there.
Personally , I like alternative gameplay ones.. so I use Weed V, AITG, Premium deluxe motorsport (to sell cars and the other to buy them), my own gameplay mod to get more realistic police, and then I'm playing alternate life for everyone where they start with a super shit car or none at all and sell drugs/cars/hitman for better one, while on drugs. But that's me, I'd recommend to look through the Misc/Script mods and see what appeals to you.
GTA V Players: Look at this incredible realm of free content we've made for each other!
Rockstar: AW HELL NAW!! Get back in GTAO and use our "free DLCs" which are all clearly designed to encourage you to be cancerous dicks to each other and buy infinite shark cards so you can keep up with the endless stream of increasingly ridiculous and overpowered "content" we release.
GTA V Players:
I hate rockstar games as a company with every fiber of my being. They are the single greediest, most unscrupulous bunch of assholes I ever had the misfortune of dealing with. They made the framework of the best game in human history and turned it into one of the worst (GTAO) through sheer unmodulated greed. And continue even now to destroy what little redeemable value it had by screwing us out of our modded SP experiences, most certainly on purpose.
No, faggot assholes, we're not going to just play your disgusting, in-game phone-call shark-card pushing piece of crap GTAO because of this. We'll hack your shit until we're rid of your moneygrubbing influence!!!
Hello, friend !
I have just been pointed to your work and it looks so promising ! I made my own similar work for GTA IV, with the materials.dat and such. I see the release date is imminent, how is it going ?
Did you manage to fix the motorcycles also? "Realistic Bike Physics and Power" mod did make great inroads there, imo. I replicated and modified those values across all my bikes, I'd suggest to take some inspiration from there if you haven't started on bikes yet
Damn ! So they're coded into the map? But still, somewhere must be a setting which controls how many of the quads are visible at a time ?
Nobody knows about ocean waves distance?
Any effects distances file, anything?
@a63nt-5m1th Registry method sounds nice! I hate hacky batch files with copy and rename commands xD
I know what you mean about updates too. Fuck updates. No thx R*, you can keep your increasingly ridiculous and contrived war-machines, they have no place in my GTA anyway :<
Thanks once again my dude ! Feel free to add me in steam if you ever wanted to swap advice, play fivem or anything ^^

Hi all!
It's about the last thing on my list of "MUST CHANGE IT!" things about GTA V. I've scoured through many files without luck, does anyone know a setting or value which determines how far away waves will be rendered into water ?
Let's make it 3x as far and enjoy really nice sea views!
@a63nt-5m1th I wondered if you had updated lately, maybe the bypass we were using isn't adapted for newer patches smh as I'm on whatever is the latest (arena wars?)
Think you might be right, after the executables anything else would probably be backward compatible huh, and just have unused new assets which my backup executables wouldnt call for... hmm. Thanks a million brother !
Btw maybe check out my mods as we seem somewhat similar , you might like them
@a63nt-5m1th
I am using a mods folder And I just simply keep 2 copies of the root folder. Had the space to spare... might just delete online infact. What a dogpile they made of potentially the best online game ever.. nobody with brain cells to rub together wants anything to do with it
But wouldn't at the least an update overwrite the executable, breaking scripthook and such ? So that's one thing I'd need to back up right, just thinking what other files can be irreversibly modified by update, that isn't covered by mods folder ?
