Police pull over mod?

[iambear.]

Is there a mod where you actually have to pull over for a cop to get a ticket instead of, them throwing a ticket at you while going 80 in a 55?

we should have that mod in the game because it will be more realistic and plus it is the same in real life think about it

The old 18 Wheels games were better for it. It varied in quality from game to game but it was enough to give you a little care in how you drive. It would be nice to have that back.

I'm of the opinion that we should AT LEAST loose time. No need for a cut scene or anything just roll time forward 30-45 minutes. And I apparently run red lights even when they're green Idk how lol. I'd also like for they cars in front of me to quit randomly slowing down but I don't think SCS will fix that anytime soon.
I actually have a laundry list of things I'd like to see come into the game- including less time spent sleeping when using a sleeper, or the ability to just pull over to sleep. Otherwise I end up having to stop when I still have a few hours before I need to rest because the next rest stop is too far ahead for me to make it without speeding.

As stupid as it sounds I would love to get pulled over. Maybe because I love getting chased by the police in Just Cause 2, lol. Not to mention the police chases you but if they catch you they will shoot at you. I’d rather just outrun the cops as I do in 18 wheels of steel: Across America. Those speeding tickets are really expensive.

IIRC, the first Mafia game had Police pull you over. Had to literally pull over, the cop car parked behind then a cutscene of a cop giving you a ticket showed, 2 warnings and after your 3rd they'd arrest you.
It was fun to begin with, but then it happened every single time and it started to get boring...watching the same cutscene...pulling over. I know it's a different genre, but my point is games have done something similar in the past.

There doesn't need to be a cutscene, as Spice has said, a simple fade out would do the job. Similar the 18 Wheels games, you'd get a screen with a huge bill shown to you, no cutscene. Cutscenes would get tiresome, but these days they often come with a skip feature anyway.

They should bring back the police system from their old 18 Wheels games. The cops would pull you over and fine you...quite heavily actually. However there was a chance you could outrun them, a little chase would ensue. They would drive up to you from infront or behind in effort to pull you over, if you don't resist then you get stopped automatically and fined...if you fight back then they would follow you best they could while trying to get you to stop if they failed at this then you have outrun them...fine free. BUT they still want you, a meter would show up and slowly, very slowly decrease, if the police see you at any time the bar is not empty then they would try to pull you over again. Higher the bar the more likely they would be to succeed. If the bar runs out they forget about you.

I liked this system, simple yet effective, they didn't need to go full Driver Parallel Lines. The downside was that in some games if you ran a red, the bar would fill up all the way even if a cop didn't see you, same for crashing....guess that was mimicking cameras or something....But it would be nice for the system to return (minus the omnipotent aspect.)

I hope somebody makes that into an ats mod pack

Technically impossible. Mods can only change existing behaviour of the game, in this case for example change the amount of money for the ticket or the tolerances and probabilities when you actually get one. Pulling you over is a new functionality and as it is not in the code there is nothing there that can be modded.

It's quite incredible what modders can achieve nowadays. People have done total conversions of some games, effectively making the title a whole new game which barely resembles the original in the eyes of the player.

With enough technical know-how, it could actually be done I'd imagine. However it would require a huge amount of knowledge, skill and work, and it'd be a pretty major mechanic tacked on with sticky tape, so would need a whole raft of bugfixing and maintenance to keep it operational.

bruhhhh

There's also the little detail of copyright infringement on certain things suggested here.

:shrug: Just my two cents on this.

I find it ridiculous that software companies like SCS rely so heavily on modders to make their game more playable and enjoyable. I look at it like...for example...if SCS devs would be paying attention to their player base, they would add more to their base code to incorporate what their player base wants. In other words, the more modders and mods there are for a game, the more it reflects poorly on the devs. Perhaps my thinking is backwards, and perhaps someone could enlighten me to cause me to think differently. I can understand that not everyone wants the same features and options that a mod might have for a game, but I am talking about things that could be added to the base code like getting pulled over for speeding. For those of us players that look for more realism, we should have that option. In real life, I have never seen a cop hand out a fine as you fly past him 30 MPH over the speed limit without stopping.

It is sadly true that ATS is a game where you are just the truck, whereas in another truck driving game that comes to mind, you are a truck driver. There is a huge difference. I strongly believe that those players that want more realism and feel like they are actual virtual truck drivers will gravitate toward the other truck driving game. I know I have. Sure, that other game is not near as polished as ATS, but given the fact that ATS has been around more many years and the other game has only been out for a few months and their dev team is pretty small, I imagine in a few years that other game can be even better than ATS as their dev team grows and they get more experience. Im sorry that I only refer to the other game like I do, but I have seen many of my posts being removed when I mentioned the name of the other game in this forum. I hope the devs allow this comment to remain.

They do, it's just that your idea of important does not measure up for them

Nonsense, you as a player are not pretending to be a truck, you are pretending to DRIVE a truck. That whole "you are a truck" idea is just goofy. I don't think that the devs could care less about your comments, and although there ARE moderators of this forum, none of them are devs.
