FEATURES
10 Star Wanted Level
6 Stars wasn’t enough. Illustrated by a darkening red hue, the wanted level can now go up to 10, allowing for more gradual escalation as the law responds to your path of destruction. You will also have a more difficult time shaking the law compared to 3.1 due to improvements and fixes made to chase AI and spawning.
Overhauled Peds & Vehicles
Tons of new peds & vehicles have been added, and existing ones have had enormous facelifts to improve quality, diversity & polish.
Significant Performance & Stability Improvements Over 3.1
The wanted level script has received a major uplift. Performance issues have been fixed, allowing for the game to perform as though you’re running vanilla. LODs have been improved and expanded upon, and all of this combines to prevent recurring problems that plagued 3.1, such as crashes, pop-in and map streaming issues.
Enhanced Support For Story Missions & Cutscenes
Cutscenes have been modified to include RDE peds where necessary. In addition, scripting has allowed for RDE peds and vehicles to show up in various story and stranger missions.
Updated LSPDFR Support
New compatibility files are included to allow for RDE peds and vehicles to be properly utilised when playing LSPDFR.
Updated WOV Compatibility
A lite version of WOV 10.1 is integrated, adding a ton of extra detail to the game world alongside RDE’s assets. This includes the Gangs of Los Santos overhaul, which, combined with personality, loadout and relationship edits, makes South LS more dangerous than ever, both for the player and for the law. Thanks to Cass & LDNENG for permissions here.
PEV: Dispatch, Tactics, Ambience Remastered Features
Jayden585 was kind enough to provide optional files that allow RDE to make use of various PEV features, such as more intricate search AI and fine-tuned combat behaviour (You should still only install one mod or the other, not both).
Countless Extra Features
Laser sights support for heli snipers (Thanks to AlexGuirre), improved loadouts, extra police weapon animations, overhauled roadblocks, additional wanted level music, corrected ped and vehicle soundbanks, new license plate designs, K9 response, paratroopers, restored ground response in certain zones like Mt Chiliad, high-speed response, streamlined script xmls, bug fixes. There’s even more, but we’ll let you experience it for yourself.

RDE DESIGN PHILOSOPHY
RDE is:
Lore Friendly - each of the changes introduced does not stand out from the GTA universe created by Rockstar Games. The concepts introduced by Rockstar have instead been expanded and revamped with loving care.
Realistic - many of the introduced changes bring GTA V closer to real life - examples include new AI behaviours and tactics, agency jurisdictions, response types and more. However, realistic does not mean real - it’s still the GTA universe, just better.
Detailed - every aspect of the mod has been fine-tuned, from higher quality models and textures to new police stations. Even the tiny details such as port police officers replacing private security in relevant places in the Port of South LS are included, and many more details have been added to already existing models.
Fun - RDE has been made to be a challenging but fun experience. The specialised, built-from-ground-up wanted level system allows for truly epic chases and shootouts - but watch out! Cops have some new tools in their equipment, and they know how to use them - to great effect. Ten Stars is now in effect - can you survive the law enforcement agencies of San Andreas throwing everything they have at you?

FAQ:
Q: I noticed a bug; how should I submit a report for it to be fixed?
A: Please provide a brief explanation of the bug and submit your logs. To do this open SixStarResponse.ini and make the following changes: “Debug=1” “NativeDebug=1” then save the ini. Reproduce the bug and open your SixStarResponse.log, gather the contents, use pastebin.com to post the log contents, and then submit the link to us with your description.
Q: Please help! I’m getting crash issues upon loading the game or selecting story mode.
A: There’s numerous things that could cause this. If a new game update is released it will require changes to the gameconfig, among various other potential file changes. If you have an excessive amount of extra vehicles or dlc archives in addition to RDE, that could cause issues with gameconfig as well. Our advice: Remove everything and start with a fresh mods folder (yes remove any other scripts as well) then install only RDE and slowly add the others back one by one; testing with each addition. We’ve also included Pool Manager, which, in particular circumstances, will tell you if a particular value in gameconfig is to blame for your crashing.
Q: I do not own a legal copy of the game, will this mod still work?
A: We only provide support for players with legal copies of the game.
Q: Can I develop my own configs for RDE and submit them on GTA5-mods/LSPDFR?
A: Not only are you allowed to do this but we encourage you to do so! However you are not permitted to share our files, models, scripts, etc. Only the config files are to be shared so be sure to have your users install RDE first before adding your mod/edits.
Q: Why is the game failing to load the multiplayer map?
A: This is most likely due to too many dlc archives being installed. RDE 4.0 by itself works fine with the mp map, so use some diligence when it comes to installing extra content on top of it that pushes the game past this limitation.
Q: Why are the cops not using their weapons correctly?
A: If you find yourself with cops just staring at you with bugged animations, that's because you've overwritten our weaponanimations.meta file located in update.rpf. To fix this, simply copy the contents here - https://pastebin.com/T8sdN3Dx
and paste them right at the top of the meta file, so it should end up looking like this - https://i.imgur.com/MBRPntd.png

FEATURES
10 Star Wanted Level
6 Stars wasn’t enough. Illustrated by a darkening red hue, the wanted level can now go up to 10, allowing for more gradual escalation as the law responds to your path of destruction. You will also have a more difficult time shaking the law compared to 3.1 due to improvements and fixes made to chase AI and spawning.
Overhauled Peds & Vehicles
Tons of new peds & vehicles have been added, and existing ones have had enormous facelifts to improve quality, diversity & polish.
Significant Performance & Stability Improvements Over 3.1
The wanted level script has received a major uplift. Performance issues have been fixed, allowing for the game to perform as though you’re running vanilla. LODs have been improved and expanded upon, and all of this combines to prevent recurring problems that plagued 3.1, such as crashes, pop-in and map streaming issues.
Enhanced Support For Story Missions & Cutscenes
Cutscenes have been modified to include RDE peds where necessary. In addition, scripting has allowed for RDE peds and vehicles to show up in various story and stranger missions.
Updated LSPDFR Support
New compatibility files are included to allow for RDE peds and vehicles to be properly utilised when playing LSPDFR.
Updated WOV Compatibility
A lite version of WOV 10.1 is integrated, adding a ton of extra detail to the game world alongside RDE’s assets. This includes the Gangs of Los Santos overhaul, which, combined with personality, loadout and relationship edits, makes South LS more dangerous than ever, both for the player and for the law. Thanks to Cass & LDNENG for permissions here.
PEV: Dispatch, Tactics, Ambience Remastered Features
Jayden585 was kind enough to provide optional files that allow RDE to make use of various PEV features, such as more intricate search AI and fine-tuned combat behaviour (You should still only install one mod or the other, not both).
Countless Extra Features
Laser sights support for heli snipers (Thanks to AlexGuirre), improved loadouts, extra police weapon animations, overhauled roadblocks, additional wanted level music, corrected ped and vehicle soundbanks, new license plate designs, K9 response, paratroopers, restored ground response in certain zones like Mt Chiliad, high-speed response, streamlined script xmls, bug fixes. There’s even more, but we’ll let you experience it for yourself.

RDE DESIGN PHILOSOPHY
RDE is:
Lore Friendly - each of the changes introduced does not stand out from the GTA universe created by Rockstar Games. The concepts introduced by Rockstar have instead been expanded and revamped with loving care.
Realistic - many of the introduced changes bring GTA V closer to real life - examples include new AI behaviours and tactics, agency jurisdictions, response types and more. However, realistic does not mean real - it’s still the GTA universe, just better.
Detailed - every aspect of the mod has been fine-tuned, from higher quality models and textures to new police stations. Even the tiny details such as port police officers replacing private security in relevant places in the Port of South LS are included, and many more details have been added to already existing models.
Fun - RDE has been made to be a challenging but fun experience. The specialised, built-from-ground-up wanted level system allows for truly epic chases and shootouts - but watch out! Cops have some new tools in their equipment, and they know how to use them - to great effect. Ten Stars is now in effect - can you survive the law enforcement agencies of San Andreas throwing everything they have at you?

FAQ:
Q: I noticed a bug; how should I submit a report for it to be fixed?
A: Please provide a brief explanation of the bug and submit your logs. To do this open SixStarResponse.ini and make the following changes: “Debug=1” “NativeDebug=1” then save the ini. Reproduce the bug and open your SixStarResponse.log, gather the contents, use pastebin.com to post the log contents, and then submit the link to us with your description.
Q: Please help! I’m getting crash issues upon loading the game or selecting story mode.
A: There’s numerous things that could cause this. If a new game update is released it will require changes to the gameconfig, among various other potential file changes. If you have an excessive amount of extra vehicles or dlc archives in addition to RDE, that could cause issues with gameconfig as well. Our advice: Remove everything and start with a fresh mods folder (yes remove any other scripts as well) then install only RDE and slowly add the others back one by one; testing with each addition. We’ve also included Pool Manager, which, in particular circumstances, will tell you if a particular value in gameconfig is to blame for your crashing.
Q: I do not own a legal copy of the game, will this mod still work?
A: We only provide support for players with legal copies of the game.
Q: Can I develop my own configs for RDE and submit them on GTA5-mods/LSPDFR?
A: Not only are you allowed to do this but we encourage you to do so! However you are not permitted to share our files, models, scripts, etc. Only the config files are to be shared so be sure to have your users install RDE first before adding your mod/edits.
Q: Why is the game failing to load the multiplayer map?
A: This is most likely due to too many dlc archives being installed. RDE 4.0 by itself works fine with the mp map, so use some diligence when it comes to installing extra content on top of it that pushes the game past this limitation.
Q: Why are the cops not using their weapons correctly?
A: If you find yourself with cops just staring at you with bugged animations, that's because you've overwritten our weaponanimations.meta file located in update.rpf. To fix this, simply copy the contents here - https://pastebin.com/T8sdN3Dx
and paste them right at the top of the meta file, so it should end up looking like this - https://i.imgur.com/MBRPntd.png

FEATURES
10 Star Wanted Level
6 Stars wasn’t enough. Illustrated by a darkening red hue, the wanted level can now go up to 10, allowing for more gradual escalation as the law responds to your path of destruction. You will also have a more difficult time shaking the law compared to 3.1 due to improvements and fixes made to chase AI and spawning.
Overhauled Peds & Vehicles
Tons of new peds & vehicles have been added, and existing ones have had enormous facelifts to improve quality, diversity & polish.
Significant Performance & Stability Improvements Over 3.1
The wanted level script has received a major uplift. Performance issues have been fixed, allowing for the game to perform as though you’re running vanilla. LODs have been improved and expanded upon, and all of this combines to prevent recurring problems that plagued 3.1, such as crashes, pop-in and map streaming issues.
Enhanced Support For Story Missions & Cutscenes
Cutscenes have been modified to include RDE peds where necessary. In addition, scripting has allowed for RDE peds and vehicles to show up in various story and stranger missions.
Updated LSPDFR Support
New compatibility files are included to allow for RDE peds and vehicles to be properly utilised when playing LSPDFR.
Updated WOV Compatibility
A lite version of WOV 10.1 is integrated, adding a ton of extra detail to the game world alongside RDE’s assets. This includes the Gangs of Los Santos overhaul, which, combined with personality, loadout and relationship edits, makes South LS more dangerous than ever, both for the player and for the law. Thanks to Cass & LDNENG for permissions here.
PEV: Dispatch, Tactics, Ambience Remastered Features
Jayden585 was kind enough to provide optional files that allow RDE to make use of various PEV features, such as more intricate search AI and fine-tuned combat behaviour (You should still only install one mod or the other, not both).
Countless Extra Features
Laser sights support for heli snipers (Thanks to AlexGuirre), improved loadouts, extra police weapon animations, overhauled roadblocks, additional wanted level music, corrected ped and vehicle soundbanks, new license plate designs, K9 response, paratroopers, restored ground response in certain zones like Mt Chiliad, high-speed response, streamlined script xmls, bug fixes. There’s even more, but we’ll let you experience it for yourself.

RDE DESIGN PHILOSOPHY
RDE is:
Lore Friendly - each of the changes introduced does not stand out from the GTA universe created by Rockstar Games. The concepts introduced by Rockstar have instead been expanded and revamped with loving care.
Realistic - many of the introduced changes bring GTA V closer to real life - examples include new AI behaviours and tactics, agency jurisdictions, response types and more. However, realistic does not mean real - it’s still the GTA universe, just better.
Detailed - every aspect of the mod has been fine-tuned, from higher quality models and textures to new police stations. Even the tiny details such as port police officers replacing private security in relevant places in the Port of South LS are included, and many more details have been added to already existing models.
Fun - RDE has been made to be a challenging but fun experience. The specialised, built-from-ground-up wanted level system allows for truly epic chases and shootouts - but watch out! Cops have some new tools in their equipment, and they know how to use them - to great effect. Ten Stars is now in effect - can you survive the law enforcement agencies of San Andreas throwing everything they have at you?

FAQ:
Q: I noticed a bug; how should I submit a report for it to be fixed?
A: Please provide a brief explanation of the bug and submit your logs. To do this open SixStarResponse.ini and make the following changes: “Debug=1” “NativeDebug=1” then save the ini. Reproduce the bug and open your SixStarResponse.log, gather the contents, use pastebin.com to post the log contents, and then submit the link to us with your description.
Q: Please help! I’m getting crash issues upon loading the game or selecting story mode.
A: There’s numerous things that could cause this. If a new game update is released it will require changes to the gameconfig, among various other potential file changes. If you have an excessive amount of extra vehicles or dlc archives in addition to RDE, that could cause issues with gameconfig as well. Our advice: Remove everything and start with a fresh mods folder (yes remove any other scripts as well) then install only RDE and slowly add the others back one by one; testing with each addition. We’ve also included Pool Manager, which, in particular circumstances, will tell you if a particular value in gameconfig is to blame for your crashing.
Q: I do not own a legal copy of the game, will this mod still work?
A: We only provide support for players with legal copies of the game.
Q: Can I develop my own configs for RDE and submit them on GTA5-mods/LSPDFR?
A: Not only are you allowed to do this but we encourage you to do so! However you are not permitted to share our files, models, scripts, etc. Only the config files are to be shared so be sure to have your users install RDE first before adding your mod/edits.
Q: Why is the game failing to load the multiplayer map?
A: This is most likely due to too many dlc archives being installed. RDE 4.0 by itself works fine with the mp map, so use some diligence when it comes to installing extra content on top of it that pushes the game past this limitation.
Q: Why are the cops not using their weapons correctly?
A: If you find yourself with cops just staring at you with bugged animations, that's because you've overwritten our weaponanimations.meta file located in update.rpf. To fix this, simply copy the contents here - https://pastebin.com/T8sdN3Dx
and paste them right at the top of the meta file, so it should end up looking like this - https://i.imgur.com/MBRPntd.png

and paste them right at the top of the meta file, so it should end up looking like this - https://i.imgur.com/MBRPntd.png

Is there any way to reduce the gang member spawn timer? I mainly play LSPDFR and any callouts that involve having to shoot someone in a territory occupied by gang members is always either a death sentence or an endless siege between cops and gang members. I understand this is due to some aspect of WoV being installed as well, but a way to either reduce spawn timer or make gang members flee if there's more than 10 police officers engaging their buddies in a firefight will make dealing with suspects in a gang controlled area easier, not to mention realistic. Ngl I love the massive shootouts between gang members that often involves cops as well, though I don't like how aggressive they become upon spotting the opps.

Hello , after doing a clean install and only downloading RDE for the newest GTA version , my game crashes at the paleto score mission.

Keep getting a Script Hook error everytime I try to launch the game. Says SH isn't updated. I assume it has to do with the game update several days ago.

I've been having a constant issue of some of the MP/dlc and non-MP cars despawning when driving around the streets, I've found a couple of fixes in the comments but none of them worked, Couldn't find anything else nor on youtube or reddit or anywhere else. Does anybody know how i could fix this ?

Why does the news van replace the Rumpo instead of being its own addon vehicle?

Nvm i fixed my issue, if anyone is having err_gfx_d3d_init. Use DDU to uninstall your gpu drivers and install an update driver from april or march it worked for me.

@The_Artiston The vanilla Rumpo has its own Weazel News Livery, so the devs decided to revamp the liveries and model too.

enhanced modding is so fucked we have to resort to tell people to not overlay mods

@Mrkai721 but then its removed from the traffic and is now solely a news van, is there a way to make the rde version an addon and add back the vanilla version?

Any Idea how to fix the crash issue please? it seems that SHVDN and LCPP are not compatabile together. If i use an old SHVDN the game works fine but then 6star response does not work... on the other hand the SHVDN that is compatabile with 6star script crashes my game when LCPP is installed :/

Careful, the dipshit youtuber, 'Underrated', claimed this worked for Enhanced. It doesn't. Dude's a clickbaiting fucking loser.

INSTALL THE NIGHTLY BUILD OF SHVDN

https://github.com/scripthookvdotnet/scripthookvdotnet-nightly/releases
INSTALL OVER A CLEAN GAME FOLDER WITHOUT OTHER MODS
BEFORE COMPLAINING ABOUT THINGS NOT WORKING PROPERLY
DO NOT INSTALL THE XMLs THAT COME WITH SHVDN
THEY MAY CAUSE TEXTURE LOADING ISSUES
