WHAT IT DOES: This script adds a notoriety system very similar to Assassin's Creed.
Gaining Notoriety - If the cops see your face during a chase, there's a % chance they'll identify you for the crime.
- If you escape after being identified, the crime is added to your arrest warrant.
- Your warrant is given a notoriety rating based on how serious your crimes were (1 star, 2 stars, etc.)
- Press 0 on the numpad to show your current notoriety rating.
Alerting Police - Your notoriety, behavior, and traffic crimes will alert police (see "Tips" below for more details).
- Alert levels are shown as indicators over their heads.*
- A
green indicator means the cop is watching you.
Yellow and
red mean he's suspicious, and he'll investigate.*
Starting Pursuits - If an investigating cop gets close, he'll stop you and ask for ID. Niko is an illegal immigrant, so you'll get 1 star.
- With high notoriety (3+ stars) if a nearby cop becomes fully alerted, he'll recognize you.
- If a fully alerted cop sees you bump someone or commit a serious traffic crime, he'll give you 1 star.*
- If you hold a gun/explosive near a cop, there's a % chance he'll spot your weapon and give you 1 star.*
- If you get arrested (or die during a chase), your arrest warrant will be cleared.
High Alert*
- Cops will be alerted more easily for a while after you escape a chase, if you were identified.
- If a cop becomes fully alerted during this time, the previous chase will resume.
- High Alert lasts 1 minute for every star on your warrant.
Wanted Vehicles - Your vehicle can have its own wanted level, if it's identified during a chase.
- Outside of chases, only investigating cops will ID your wanted vehicle.
- If your vehicle's wanted level is 3+ stars, it will alert cops on sight.
- Stolen vehicles are often reported.*
- Go to a Pay 'n' Spray to clear the vehicle's wanted level.
Paying Bribes*
- Press 5 on the numpad to arrange a bribe meeting.
- At the meeting:
. . . . Press 4 and 6 to cycle through crime levels (1 star, 2 stars, etc.).
. . . . Press 8 and 2 to add and remove crimes from the bribe.
. . . . Press 5 to pay the bribe.
. . . . Press Delete to reset the current bribe.
. . . . The notoriety value and bribe cost are displayed for each crime level.
* Can be disabled in the INI.------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------
TIPSGeneral - Many settings can be tweaked in the INI.
- Hold PageDown and press 5 on the numpad to disable/enable the mod. This won't clear your warrant or your wanted vehicles.
Being Spotted - The chance of your face being identified depends on:
. . . . your wanted level
. . . . whether you're in a vehicle, and the vehicle's speed
. . . . whether the cop is downed (but not dead)
. . . . how long the cop has continuously seen your face
- The chance of your vehicle being identified depends on:
. . . . your wanted level
. . . . your vehicle's speed and wanted level
. . . . whether High Alert is active
. . . . how long the cop has seen your vehicle
- The chance of your gun being spotted depends on:
. . . . whether you're in a vehicle
. . . . whether the cop is currently interrogating you
. . . . the cop's alert level
. . . . the size of the weapon
- All the above chances also depend on:
. . . . your distance and notoriety
. . . . whether it's nighttime and/or raining
. . . . whether the cop is in a vehicle, and his vehicle's speed
Alerting Police - How fast cops are alerted depends on:
. . . . your speed, distance, and notoriety
. . . . whether you're facing each other
. . . . whether you're in a vehicle, and the vehicle's speed, damage, and wanted level
. . . . whether you're breaking traffic laws
. . . . whether you're near a dead or dying person
. . . . whether you're holding a weapon
. . . . whether you're walking into people, climbing, or jumping
. . . . whether you've been too close to the cop for too long
. . . . whether High Alert is active
. . . . whether the cop has seen, investigated, interrogated, and/or identified you before
. . . . how long the cop has investigated you
- They are alerted much faster if your notoriety is rated 3 stars or more.
- Alert meters will slowly drain, but only if the cop isn't investigating and can't see you.
- Alert indicators only show on the map for cops who are in your character's line of sight (360º).
- Alert indicators will flash:
. . . . White flash = alert level is higher than it's been before (bigger increase = more flashes)
. . . . Gray flash = draining
. . . . Blue flashes = fully alerted
Investigations - If you break a cop's line of sight while he's investigating, he'll run to your last known position, try to guess where you went, and then give up if he can't find you.
- If you're far away, the cop will jog for a while to close the distance.
- If a cop sees you run while he's investigating, he'll be alerted very fast. (Using my
Weapon Weight mod, you can "hurry" to walk faster.)
- Cops in cars...
. . . . will try to follow you while investigating, if you're in a vehicle.
. . . . won't investigate until their indicators turn red, if you're on foot.
Secondary Vision- As a workaround for cops who can't see far, cops in cars and/or investigating have "secondary vision".
- Secondary vision is 360º and its range depends on the cop's alert level.
- There's a chance, based on his alert level, that he'll see you in this field of view.
Escalating Notoriety - A new crime is added to your warrant every time you escape after being identified (not including chases resumed during High Alert).
- Eventually, the notoriety from these crimes can add up, increasing your notoriety rating.
- Even 1-star crimes can add up to a 2-star notoriety rating, if you have a lot of them on your warrant.
- Notoriety escalates slowly at first (thirty 1-star crimes = one 2-star crime), but it gets much faster at higher levels (five 2-star crimes = one 3-star crime).

KNOWN BUGS (and workarounds for some)
Important Bugs -
Your arrest warrant is only saved when you use a bed to save the game, not when the game autosaves. -
Your arrest warrant is persistent across different savegames. Workaround: manually create a different ArrestWarrant.dat file for each save.
- When patrolling cops see an NPC criminal, they either ignore or shoot at him.
Workaround: disable PreventCopDeletion in the INI, or temporarily toggle the mod off until the NPC criminal gets chased away.
Unfixable GTA IV Bugs - Most cops can't see very far.
- The game AI can see through many things it shouldn't, like low walls, dumpsters, vehicles, vegetation, and people.
- The game AI can't follow you through certain areas. Currently known to affect several alleys, one door, and one subway station staircase.
- Sometimes, the game gives you 1 star for stealing a vehicle when you only tried to open a locked car door.
- Sometimes, the game thinks you committed a traffic crime when you didn't (e.g. it thinks a street is one-way when it's not).
- The game fades the indicators over cops when you're close to them.
Vehicle Bugs - If you commit traffic crimes while moving very slowly, the police won't notice.
- Cops are really bad at tailing you in cars, often crashing or making pointless wrong turns.
- Stolen vehicles don't get reported if they're empty and unlocked when you get in (this is a workaround to prevent your saved cars from being reported).
Minor Bugs - At the start of an interrogation, alert indicators stop flashing for a moment.
- During an interrogation, sometimes cops don't face you.
- Calling Kiki Jenkins or Francis McReary to remove your wanted level doesn't prevent the crime from being added to your warrant.
Workaround: toggle this mod off (PageDown + 5) before using the cheat.
- Any cheats for removing your wanted level (including the Kiki/Francis ones) don't reset cop alert levels.
Workaround: same as previous.
Incompatibility with Other Mods - Switching the player model with a trainer causes an error.
Workaround: same as previous.
- This mod conflicts with Wanted, Wanted Vehicle, Weapon Arrest, and Drive Felony by BR_Goianiense.
- Ticket by HippieCommunist: Sometimes, cops will ticket you twice (or more) in a row.

- If the police identify you while your wanted level is 1 star and you have a notoriety rating of 2 stars, you will no longer be given 2 stars (because realistically cops wouldn't know your face well enough with that amount of notoriety).
- Cops walk faster while investigating, and fat cops run faster as well.
- If a cop has investigated and lost you, they will quickly regain their previous alert level the next time they see you. (And if they've interrogated you before, the next interrogation will be much shorter.)

- Alert indicators now show on the map if the cop is in your character's line of sight (360º).
- Fixed bug where not all cops were affected by the script in crowded areas.
- Workaround for bug where the alert meter filled way too fast due to the player velocity being inaccurate. Side effect: Moving fast while not in a vehicle will negate the effect of velocity on alert level.
- Added compatibility for HippieCommunist's Prison Break mod: now when you break out of prison, you'll immediately be identified and notorious. (Note: only works if you set "AlarmWanted" in Prison.ini to at least 4.)
- Improved compatibility for HippieCommunist's Ticket mod: when you pay a ticket, all suspicious cops will have their alert levels reduced to just under the suspicion threshold.
- Minor fixes, optimization, and cleanup.
v0.9b — July 8, 2011 - Fixed bug where breaking an investigating cop's line of sight would make him always go to your last known position, even if he sees you again before he gets there.
- Fixed another bug where an investigating cop would go to a position far away from where he last saw you.
- Added compatibility for HippieCommunist's Ticket script. Offenses aren't added to your record if you pay the fine. If you only have a 1-star notoriety rating, it will be cleared after paying. (NOTE: Only works if your Ticket file name is "ticket.cs".)
- Minor fixes and optimization
