Callout Expansion Pack 1

Overview

Callout Expansion Pack 1 is a callout expansion for ERS. It runs as its own resource, night_ers_cp1, beside night_ers. It adds thirty callouts: fires, hazardous materials, crime scenes, medical emergencies, water recoveries and tow jobs.

Important Pre-Installation Notes

Critical Installation Order

Always follow this exact sequence to avoid parsing errors in the F8 console:

1. Download ZIP Package from CFX Portal
2. Unpack in a folder on your local machine
3. Set your File Transfer Protocol (FTP) type to binary
4. Drag files from local machine to server resources folder
5. Add to server.cfg (ensure script)
6. Boot up the server

Support Policy

Follow this guide step by step. If you’re stuck, ask for support in our Discord and provide the specific step name. Do not skip steps.

Requirements

• Emergency Response Simulator (night_ers) and its dependencies, installed and properly configured. The resource’s manifest declares night_ers as a dependency.

Installation

1. Put the night_ers_cp1 folder in your server’s resources folder.
2. Make sure night_ers is installed and properly configured.
3. Add these lines to server.cfg:

ensure night_ers
ensure night_ers_cp1

4. Restart your server.

Configuration

Each callout has its own file in night_ers_cp1/config/callouts/. The manifest leaves config/*.lua and config/callouts/*.lua outside the asset escrow, so you can edit them. The file config/config.lua only holds the config version and the event prefix, and needs no changes.

Every callout file has these settings:

Setting	What it does
Enabled	Turns the callout on or off. All thirty are true
CalloutName	The name of the callout
CalloutDescriptions	The list of dispatch descriptions
CalloutUnitsRequired	The services the callout is for: policeRequired, ambulanceRequired, fireRequired and towRequired
CalloutLocations	The places where the callout can start, numbered from [1]

The ped settings (PedChanceToFleeFromPlayer, PedChanceToAttackPlayer, PedChanceToSurrender, PedChanceToObtainWeapons, the two timeouts, PedActionOnNoActionFound and PedWeaponData) are the same ones explained on the Callout Creator Pack page.

Fire Positions

The nine fire callouts (festival pyrotechnics, fire in a difficult-to-reach location, fire caused by lightning, fireworks warehouse, forest fire, highrise fire, spreading neighbourhood fire, park fire and shipment container fire) place their fires with FirePositionSets. The comment in the file explains it:

-- Pre-set fire positions per location (index matches CalloutLocations). Each entry is a list of vector3
-- with correct ground Z—no random spread. Add more vector3s per set for multiple hotspots (pre-measured in-game).
--
-- Recommended ceiling: 15 spawns per scenario. Beyond that the client-side
-- particle FX rate-limit and seed-queue drain time (~300 ms/spawn) start to
-- bite and the HUD baseline inflates with pending spawns.

Setting	What it does
FirePositionSets	One list of fire positions for each location, matched to CalloutLocations by number

Evidence

Thirteen callouts have evidence for the player to collect. They share these settings:

-- How many evidence positions are activated each run (capped to available positions).
EvidenceCountMin = 2,
EvidenceCountMax = 6,

-- Radius (metres) the player must be within to collect an item
CollectRadius = 1.5,

The values above are from the crime scene callout. Each callout has its own values.

Setting	What it does
EvidenceCountMin and EvidenceCountMax	How many evidence positions are activated each run, capped to the positions available
CollectRadius	How close, in metres, the player must be to collect an item
