I'd love a Road Rage callout where the situation can have different outcomes, such as an argument, physical fight, weapon incident, or vehicle pursuit.

Changed

CrypticCallouts Foundation Completely rebuilds the shared CrypticCallouts foundation.

Existing Callout Foundation Rebuilds all 11 existing callouts on the new shared foundation.

Callout Migration Migrates Armed Mugging, Bank Robbery, Store Robbery, Hostage Situation, Riot, Gang Fight, Volatile Pursuit, Street Shooting, Stolen Vehicle, Domestic Disturbance and Road Rage to the new systems.

Entity Management Improves entity tracking and cleanup across the callout pack.

Randomisation Replaces individual Random instances with the shared CrypticRandom system.

Distance Handling Replaces repeated distance checks with the shared ProximityGate system.

Background Fibre Handling Improves delayed and background fibre handling to prevent stale tasks from interacting with ended callout entities.

Model and Landmark Data Centralises model pools and fixed landmark locations that were previously duplicated across callouts.

Negotiation Systems Replaces separate negotiation menu implementations in Hostage Situation, Domestic Disturbance and Road Rage with the shared NegotiationMenu system.

Road Rage Structure Splits Road Rage into RoadRage.cs, RoadRage.Scene.cs and RoadRage.Negotiation.cs for improved maintainability.

Road Rage Preservation Preserves the existing Road Rage scenarios, dialogue and stages during the rebuild.

Spawn Location Selection Improves spawn location selection using progressive widening when suitable locations are not immediately available.

Configuration Validation Ensures distance settings remain in a sensible order.

Outcome Weight Protection Improves protection against malformed INI values affecting outcome weights.

Burglary Interaction System Changes Burglary in Progress to use an interactive question, detain and let-go system.

Burglary Suspect Behaviour Keeps suspects stationary until interaction or an outcome is triggered.

Bank Robbery Outcomes Changes Bank Robbery to use foot-flee and fight-in-place outcomes instead of vehicle getaways.

Store Robbery Outcomes Changes Store Robbery to use foot-flee and fight-in-place outcomes instead of vehicle getaways.

Getaway Vehicle Weighting Folds existing Bank Robbery and Store Robbery GetawayVehicle weighting into the foot-flee weighting so existing INI configurations remain usable.

Volatile Pursuit System Changes Volatile Pursuit to operate without its custom relationship group system.

Volatile Pursuit Behaviour Changes Volatile Pursuit to use the existing pursuit and direct combat systems for suspect behaviour.

Optional System Handling Improves handling of optional systems and group creation failures to prevent unnecessary callout termination.
