SUMMARY
This mod makes evading police possible in San Andreas by avoiding getting sighted by cops and keeping a low profile. It also features advanced cop reactions and a shooting distraction system - with ideas from games like Hitman Absolution and GTA IV, keeping intact the original feel of the SA world.
1. Play Hide and Seek with Cops by hiding in backyards, underground, behind walls, pillars. They'll try to find you. Hide from Cops!
4. Shooting too much in public will draw Cops attention back to you and they will check out your area.
2. Noisy Weapons wouldn't draw attention if you are in a secluded place and no one is around. (Grove street gang members wouldn't report you)
3. Stealth killing in public is possible (before getting sighted and using a silenced pistol)
5. When you're not wanted, your shootings / killings may be reported by some civilian who heard the shots or saw the crime. Using a machine gun in public would definitely draw attention.
6. Driving too fast and rash will draw cop attention if you are already wanted and in hiding and the chance of some cop sighting you will increase and that may blow your cover.
7. Even after when you lose sight of the cops, some police helicopter may sight you and your cover will be blown - Aerial Sight
8. Evasion Possibility
8.(A) To actually lose stars, you need to sneak out of the area you were last seen in.
8.(B) Once you lose your first star after going into hiding, other area cops might not recognize you so quickly like before. They'll be Hostile if you come within 30 meters and are in sight.
10. The optional visual status list is provided at the end of the detailed description
RCS (REAL COP SYSTEM) DETAILED DESCRIPTION
You can literally hide anywhere if you manage to shake off the cops. The modification aims at
1. Making Hiding from Cops Possible
2. Making the hiding and actual evasion (cool-down) moderately hard.
HIDING
Being hidden simply means you are not in sight of the cops and they're searching for you. It does not mean that you will start losing wanted level.
EVASION / COOL-DOWN
Given that you're hidden, and have successfully sneaked out of the area you were last seen in, you will start losing stars. If you go back into that area where you were last seen, you would again not be able to lose stars
Some ingame screens showing what happens if you stay in the same area you were last seen in after being able to avoid sight consistently for a minute or so.
HIDING, COOL-DOWN RULES
Committing crimes (in public) will draw attention. Cops will arrive at the location and if found, your cover will be blown and you wouldn't be hidden anymore. You can commit a crime and flee the scene in time and watch the aftermath from behind a cover and will still be able to evade them. But again, now cops will be searching for you in this new last seen area or where you were last reported to be firing in public.
The detection capability of the cops will also reduce accordingly with time. If a cop was able to spot you and become hostile from 60 metres away before when they were actively searching for you, Once the wanted level starts to cool-down, he will not recognize you until you are at-least 30 metres close to him.
VISUAL PACK OF WANTED STATUSES
Its contained in this modification. Its an idea I derived from Hitman Absolution. And this mod is the main supplement of the the RCS (Real Cop System) Mod.
- Innocent
- Disturbance Reported
- Felony Reported
- Attention Drawn
- Distraction Created
- Hostile
- Searching Area
- In Sight
- Evading Search
- Location Compromised
- Aerial Sight
STATUS GUIDE
- If you shoot in public, depending on the circumstances, either a 'Disturbance' or 'Felony' will be Reported by someone from the area and you will get a wanted level. And you will get a wanted level.
- If you're hidden and shoot in public, you may Draw Attention - There will be a chance that someone around you will rat you out to the cops and that a patrol car/ helicopter / tank comes scrounging the area dynamically depending on what wanted level the player has.
- If you're out of sight, and there are cops nearby - searching the area, in this case, you can create a Distraction, and all cops will run to the location where the shots were fired by you instinctively.
- Hostile mod is when Some foot cops have you in sight and are ready to shoot to kill / arrest you. This is the only possibility available in the original cop system. :D
- Searching Area will be a state when you are out of sight and cops are searching the area. They will go to the last seen location and also police helicopters will try to spot you be scanning your area with infrared, night-vision and what not.
- In Sight would be either if you are in a car chase or there are cops around you who can see you but are not able to shoot at you or try to kill you. Mostly, these are cops in vehicles.
- Evading Search means there are no cops around you which CJ is aware of while he is hiding.
- Location Compromised: If the player goes inside any of his own properties or a public restaurant / shop where the news is readily available on television, his location would instantly be compromised and cops will surround the property / restaurant.
- Aerial Sight is one of the recently developed legs of the mod and is one of my personal favorites, this is of a time when there is only the police helicopter which has you in sight, if you destroy / evade the police helicopter, you'll directly go into hiding (if anyone else doesn't spot you for sometime). I googled a bit and found that police mavericks can easily see through buildings and walls using infra, thermal visions. So the same is also been made true for this realism cleo mod.
