FAQ related to LCPDFR, GTA IV, GTA V, and LSPDFR.
I'll cover some of the common questions, mistakes, and so forth that I get asked ALL THE TIME, about LCPDFR, LSPDFR, SAPDRR, how to start coding, modding, and common mistakes and problems people make.
01
Do you think LSPDFR will be multiplayer?
Yes. One day. Not any time soon, but with the PC community always chipping away at GTA V - anything is possible. Sorry consoles.
02
Are you going to keep doing LCPDFR for GTA IV?
I've moved on since the LSPDFR mod has become just as deep, if not deeper then LCPDFR for GTA IV.
03
I want to learn to mod, to write scripts for GTA IV, or GTA V... where should I start?
This isn't going to be the answer you want... but it'll be the answer that makes you a better person. Coding isn't for everyone, as a hobby you've got to have passion for it. Your first step should be to LEARN TO CODE, not for a video game, not for anything at all in general, but just learning to code by exposure. Learning to code is like learning to speak Spanish, for example. One of the fastest ways to learn is to have a structured learning environment. I would suggest going to http://www.codecademy.com/ it is a free place to learn to code. In GTA IV / GTA V coding you'll end up using C++, LUA, and any .NET framework (C#, VB, and so forth). Learning to code is like drinking from a waterhose. Don't worry about always drinking all the water, just make sure you get some of it (learn something small each day!). You can check out a get started video for LSPDFR coding here!

How do you get your game to run so smooth and relaible in LCPDFR?
You have to read your computer. Are you slowing it down with to many scripts? Are you using relaible scripts? Vehicles? People? You have to go slow when you install these things. ONE THING can make the whole thing crash, and often. Something that runs well on my rig, might not run well on your rig. If you're computer cannot keep up, the game won't wait, and it will crash. You have to gauge what your computer can handle. Don't worry though, GTA IV was a poor port over PC, so GTA V will be more stable and reliable when LSPDFR drops.
