Short description

Family-Friendly Free-Roaming is a modification for GTAV, the PC version.

This project aims for making roaming/exploring in GTA V a smoother experience, with less interrupting elements and no violence. Focus is on making the game have as little violence and disturbing content as possible but this can be customized in the configuration file if you like to activate violence for example. There are over 200 settings, each with different options. The mod is activated by default but if you enable a deactivation key in the configuration file the mod can be toggled between activated and inactivated while playing. A menu can be used to switch between configuration files while playing.

I highly recommend using a 100% completed game save in order to remove violence and have everything unlocked. More info under installation.

Roam freely and explore the huge map with vehicles like cars, motorcycles, planes, helicopters, bicycles and submarines. Do activities like golf, darts, arm wrestling, bowling, tennis, yoga, skydiving, scuba diving, triathlon, taxi missions, try to obey the traffic rules, ride the fairground rides, buy more clothes, get a haircut, do races on land and water. With mods you get even more activities. 

Make sure to install the mod correctly (more under installation). 

The configuration file and a good game save are important. If you have completed the game 100%, basically just put FamilyFriendlyFreeRoaming x.x.asi and FamilyFriendlyFreeRoaming.ini into the folder where GTA5.exe is located. Otherwise read all of the instructions under the installation section below.

Also check out "Configuration files and how to make changes". If you want even less violence, scroll down to "How to make the game even less violent".

I'm busy with other projects but I will answer basic questions when I have time.

If you have made your own custom configuration file for a certain purpose, please share on discord!

Main features

Features can be inactivated and often have different options. You can customize the mod with the help of configuration files. There are over 200 settings, each often with different options. The mod comes with some examples, like friendly chaos and friendly police chasing. 

A high level of family-friendly is set by default:

Family-friendly features (in short).

• Violence suppressed. No disturbance made by pedestrians or the player in free-roam.

• Nobody can get hurt, which means no blood. Nobody runs away.

• No weapons and no vehicle weapons can be used. No explosions.

• No cops/police.

• Vehicles are invincible and can only be scratched.

• Cars and motorcycles are teleported to the nearest road if in water.

• No rag-doll (falling etc.)

• Everyone is muted (no speech, including bad language and pain sounds).

• No radio (info about alternatives further down the page).

Fun features. 

Activated with either keyboard or controller. Some of these have keys mapped already. You can change or remove default keys set in the configuration file.

• A menu lets you switch between your customized configuration files fast in game. A few example files are included. Off by default - you need to set a key for this to work in the .ini.

• Switch to the closest vehicle (key N).

• Switch seats within vehicles (key B).

• Join vehicles as passenger (teleports if player doesn't make it by running). Lets you hitchhike (key B). Player runs to the vehicle and gets in. Teleports if it takes too long. Switches seat if already inside one.

• Honk with the horn to let pedestrians hitchhike with you for a while.

• Jump with your motorcycles and cars (key Q).

• Change the vehicle engine power (num keys - and +).

• Teleport to closest road when stuck (key End).

• Teleport to random place on the map (CTRL + T).

• Switch player model to the closest pedestrian while on foot (num keys - and +). 

• Switch between the player models Michael and Franklin (Double press Alt key). 

• Repair your vehicle instantly when outside of vehicle and in addition also give random modifications when inside (i key).

• A funny and crazy mode can be activated with fireworks and flying cars.

• A fun cop chasing mode can be activated where the cops can't harm and will only chase you.

• Find rare super cars in the streets.

More details

• You can remove/skip radio stations you don't like. By default a selected few that are less disturbing are set to on by default.

• Violent and sexually disturbing peds are removed like hookers, strippers, cultists, but also Wade, Lamar and Denise. (Lamar to prevent the story mode mission to be started when using the 10% completed game save). If the removed ped was driving a vehicle alone, that vehicle is removed.

• There are no cops although it can be fun to activate them but keep them as friendly, resulting in some funny combinations.

• Peds and the player wont be able to taunt/ show the middle finger. The player can't kick or beat in any way or shoot with any weapon, not even vehicle weapons like in a tank and fighter aircraft. Peds never do any hostile actions. Nobody is scared of the player and they wont flee.

• Join a driver's vehicle as a passenger with the default key B.  The player runs to the vehicle and gets in. Teleports if it takes too long. While inside a vehicle and pressing B, you switch seat. If there already is a passenger on the new seat, you switch places. Press N as passenger to switch place with the driver.

• Switch vehicles instantly with default key N to the closest one to your position. Works with cars, motorbikes, quadbikes, bicycles, helicopters, planes and boats. If there's no vehicle close by (distances can be changed in the .ini file), you will be set inside a new random spawned motorbike or car. If close to a sea or lake, the player gets a boat and is teleported to the water. If driven up on the shores with a boat, a car or motorbike is spawned and the player is moved inside it. A random spawned vehicle can also be changed in the .ini file to always be used.

• Buss peds. Use the horn to signal to peds to join you in your vehicle. When completely still and using the horn, all peds inside will leave. Planes, helicopters and boats works too. Can be set to only work with buses and taxis.

• Unstuck-key. Teleports your vehicle to the closest path node nearby, which can be in water, a small path on land or an asphalt road. If already on a path/road, teleports to an asphalt road. If already on asphalt, teleports to asphalt close by. Huge planes teleports to the desert airport. If no player vehicle exists at all, you will be teleported instead.

• Teleports your vehicle a small distance up on land when it gets into water. This option works like the above feature called "Unstuck key".

• Options for no collision between your vehicle and peds and/or peds vehicles. (Not activated/on by default). This allows you to pass through peds and their vehicles with your own vehicle without collisions. 

• Spawn random vehicles option (not fully activated/on by default). 

• Increase and decrease of the engines power with two keys. A negative value makes the vehicle go slower than normal (0). 

• Consequences When Crashing option (not activated/on by default).

• Option to switch vehicles instantly by driving into one (not activated/on by default).

• Inactivate/activate the mod with a key.

• All Ammu-Nations by default locked and interiors disabled when player weapons are set to not be allowed. 

• All tattoo shops closed and locked by default and the interior lowered in quality (part of the game's exterior). 

• House radios in for example the homes of Michel and Franklin are set to one of the by you allowed radio station in the config file. For example self radio, your own music. The station can change when you change station in a vehicle if you want to.

• Visual effects and sounds options for random horn sounds, particle FX effects, firework and flares when interacting with the vehicle horn (not activated/on by default). 

• Music options on/off for flight music (and radio automatically on when entering plane or helicopter, however this is off by default and flight music is on), police wanted music and police scanner radio (police wanted music and police scanner set to off by default). 

• Support for Xinput controller (e.g. Xbox 360 pad). Needs to be activated in the configuration file that comes with the mod in order to use. Option for 2 button activation on all.

• The level of violence can be customized to your preferences. For example you can change these values (if invincible is set to off) for the player, ped and/or vehicles: bulletProof, fireProof, explosionProof, collisionProof, meleeProof. Only for vehicles: strong, wheels can break, tyres can burst, can be visibly damaged, engine can degrade. 

• Other features/ options that can be set to on or off:

Invincible options, police ignore player, everyone ignore player, clear player wanted level, clear area of cops, player can't be hassled by gangs, player noise multiplier, can't be dragged out, player stick to vehicle, pedestrians vehicles disappear underground to avoid collisions, block melee with animation, wont create random cops, can't be targeted, clear ped blood damage, fix windows while inside vehicle, can't fly through windscreen, set maximum vehicle speed for player and police, disable player combat with firearms and melee, vehicle light multiplier and more. 

All peds are invincible by default, on foot and in vehicles. You can't run them over and they can't ragdoll. They will just move out of the way. They are bulletProof, fireProof, explosionProof, collisionProof and meleeProof.

More features and info in the configuration file that comes with the mod.

Configuration files and how to make changes

Important UPDATE Jan 15 2023 after game update:

Regarding switching between configuration files in use while playing: 

Switching between default/no violent configuration files to violent ones (while playing) no longer work and makes the game unstable. The workaround is to set the file you want to use before starting the game.

With the mod comes the file called FamilyFriendlyFreeRoaming.ini and a folder called FFFR. As stated in the installation instruction, these goes into your GTA5 folder where your GTA5.exe is located. Just like the mod itself. FamilyFriendlyFreeRoaming.ini is the main configuration file and the most important. It is by default used directly but can also link to configuration files inside the FFFR folder. You can switch configuration file in use from the menu. The menu can be activated in the configuration file in use. The menu user interface and navigation is similar to the native trainer. You can customize your own configuration files, put them into the FFFR folder and load them from the menu. 

Default menu controls:

Activate menu (open/close) - None by default/not in use. To use the menu, you can for example set the del-key (46) in the .ini file. The number 46 represents the delete key. For example the Native Trainer uses F4 to open/close.

NUM2/8/4/6 - navigate throuthrough the menus and lists (numlock must be on) 

NUM5 - select 

NUM0/BACKSPACE - back

The configuration in use can also be set manually in the main configuration file called FamilyFriendlyFreeRoaming.ini located in your main installation folder. Open the file with a text editor and go down the bottom where you will find configuration_file_in_use=./FamilyFriendlyFreeRoaming.ini For example you can change this to configuration_file_in_use=./FFFR/FFFR Light Cops Chasing.ini

Another way is simply removing FamilyFriendlyFreeRoaming.ini in your main folder and replacing it with one of the files in the FFFR folder. If you do this, don't forget to rename the replacing file "FamilyFriendlyFreeRoaming.ini" (the name of the original file).

Configuration files can be opened and edited just like a text-file but you might have to right click on it and click open as. You can use any text-editor, like notepad. Something more advanced like Notepad++ is highly recommended. 

The .ini file is read from continuously by this mod and so when you make changes in it and save it, these changes will take effect when you tab back into the game.  

There is often no need to restart anything. Just go Alt + Tab while playing and switch to the .ini file, make some changes, save and Alt + Tab back into the game. 

Further instructions are found inside the main configuration file. Basically you just change between 0 (off) and 1 (on). For example you can change vehicle_can_be_damaged=0 to vehicle_can_be_damaged=1 to make vehicles be able to take damage.

You can use this site to figure out what you need to change in your configuration file, by comparing files: https://www.diffchecker.com/diff 

In the folder "Default configuration file reference" within the FFFR folder, you will find a copy of the default configuration file which you can compare with.

First step is to set the key you want to show/hide the menu with. 

You do this inside the main configuration file and the ones inside the FFFR folder you want the menu to be used. Both keyboard and controller are supported. Also two-button activation is supported for compatibility. Example:Under [Key], if you set menu_toggle_switch=46

The above means that the delete key on your key board will be used to show/hide the menu.

Explanation taken from the main configuration file on how to change keys: Go to https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dd375731%28v=vs.85%29.aspx or

http://pastebin.com/CX2nZVLN and replace the number above with the one of your keys. 

Keycodes starting with 0x just means hexadecimal. The decimal format works as well.

Exampel: 0x2E is the same as 46.

In order to change from "Delete" to "Insert" on the keyboard, change "46" to "0x2D"

-1 here means not in use.

With 3.0+ there are a few example files. Main difference from the default configuration (visual damage means no real damage meaning vehicles can't explode but still look demolished):

"FFFR Friendly Chaos.ini"

Vehicles can take visual damage, funny_vehicle_visual_effects_and_sounds is on, player_engine_power_multiplier is increased.

player_switch_vehicle_with_peds_upon_collision=2 is great with this too. 

For longer vehicle jumps, set funny_vehicle_visual_effects_and_sounds to 18. You fly higher. 

Engine power also affects the this feature. By default you change engine power with +/- on your keyboard.

"FFFR Light Cops Chasing.ini"

Light cops chase you but won't hurt you. Some traffic rules are on to allow the cops to chase you.

Difference to the default configuration file: diffchecker.com/d0JzqQNW

Basic traffic rules are activated, giving wanted stars up to 2.

"FFFR Light Family-Friendly.ini"

This file makes the world a bit more lively without adding violence. Visual vehicle damage, cops exists but won't chase you, some radio channels are on.

Removed: "FFFR Max Family Friendly (Extreme).ini" Note: this file was removed and updated in 3.1. See 3.1 update notes for more info.

Very restrictive in all areas. Don't forget to set menu_toggle_switch=-1 before use. 

Peds models banned, keys to features disabled, vehicle speed limited, collisions removed, objects invisible, no blips on map etc.

"FFFR Vehicle Deformation.ini"

Visible vehicle deformation allowed.

"FFFR Violence! No Nudity, Drugs or Speech.ini"

This configuration file is NOT family-friendly. Nudity, drugs and speech is still removed but all violence is turned back on. There is also a version without keybindings to fun features.

This configuration file is made to work with other mods like LCPDFR. More about the menu. (Also read the instructions in the main configuration file FamilyFriendlyFreeRoaming.ini inside your GTAV root folder).

Not yet implemented/ todo list

-- Because of the downforce from super cars and sport cars, jumping doesn't work as intended at the moment. 

-- Your feedback.

-- If two mods are changing the same thing, there will be conflicts. 

-- Clerks in corner stores are walks out of stores. This is because they are apart of native scripts where you without the mod enabled can rob them. Since this mod terminates the rob scripts, the clerks just walk away. They only sell food though, which you have no use for with default settings.

How to fix:

-- There's a gas station on the countryside with models not included yet in the explosion prevention when driving into them. Nothing except the gas station models are taking damage. 

-- Regarding engine power and other mods. If you want to use features in other mods which changes the engine power you can turn this feature off in FFFR:
Follow these steps and do these changes to your .ini files: 

Disable the feature in FFFR: player_engine_power_multiplier=-1

Disable the engine power increase key: key_1_increase_engine_power=-1 

Disable the engine power decrease key: key_1_decrease_engine_power=-1 

Make sure changes are made to all FFFR .ini files you want to use.

3. The player always gets teleported to a new spawned car or motorbike when pressing the key.

-- New feature called Consequences When Crashing. With crashing means crashing into vehicles and peds. In the .ini consequences_when_crashing_into set to 0 means no consequences (default). 1 means engine stops and needs to be "fixed" (hotwired). 2 means more of the same as 1.

-- Weapons are now removed from the player by default. Get them back and usable by setting (works while playing): remove_all_player_weapons=0 and disable_all_firing_and_melee=0 in the .ini file and save it (scroll up to "Configuration files and how to make changes" for more info).

-- The players golf club is no longer removed if remove_all_player_weapons is set to 2 and disable_all_firing_and_melee is set to 1. This is to allow golf to be played (golf needs to be unlocked in the game, use the 100% complete game save in order to play).

-- Peds golf clubs are no longer removed when remove_all_ped_weapons is set to 1 if both everyone_ignore_player and peds_like_you_and_wont_flee are set to 1 as well.

-- Improved change_to_closest_vehicle. When pressing default key N and there already is a ped driver inside and the player havn't got a vehicle, the ped will be moved to a passenger seat if there is one available.

This is the last disturbing/ violent thing that I have found (in the 10% completed game save) and so it's great that it's gone now!  

-- Peds should no longer not give up trying to get inside the players vehicle when the horn is used and not everyone can fit inside. This could happen when a game save was loaded while inside the game already.

-- Improved player_can_ragdoll=0 and ped_can_ragdoll=0. When jumping out of a vehicle measures are taken to avoid splatter and impact animations. The player is also given parachutes. When falling and close to the ground, the player is moved to the ground.

-- Remade function which switches passengers between vehicles.

-- Changed maximum speed for peds leaving players helicopter to 1 m/s from 0 in order to make it more smooth. Also improved bussing peds with the cargobobs.

-- Updated with the latest SDK.

-- Various minor improvements.

- 2.2

-- The player now parachutes to avoid falling from great hights and land hard on the ground. 

-- Placing the player safely on ground when falling into the ground now depends on the z-axis speed towards the ground. The check is also more frequent now because before the impact could be missed.

-- Spawning a vehicle while in a boat at sea/ in lake should now always spawn a new boat, even when the old boat is in the air.

-- Added reset of interior of the strip club when deactivating the mod. Doing so will also unlock the doors.

-- Engine power is now only set continuously when not 0, allowing for other mods to use this feature. 

-- Various minor improvements. 

- 2.2.1

A value related to falling didn't work in all situations so I had to change it. I noticed this when trying the mod on another computer. It should work now. 

- 2.3

-- Performance optimization. 

-- Changed default value of speech_sounds to the new value -40. -40 means same as -30 (no scripted conversations) except scripted conversations are allowed when inside a taxi. This is to avoid for example preaching soapboxers but still hear the communication with the central. Old default value was -10.

- 2.4 https://youtu.be/in-kyH84qBw Video of some features

-- Peds can now skydive and fly parachute from players helicopter or plane. Minimum hight is 50 meters above ground.

-- Improved disable_all_firing_and_melee. The player can no longer shoot with vehicle weapons.

-- Improved remove_all_ped_weapons. Ped pilots (not including the player) are no longer able to fly the military fighter jet called Lazer in the area of Fort Zancudo. This is because they shoot at the player. There seems to still be a script from the game which causes random explosions without any source if you fly inside the airspace of the fort. 

-- Improved bussing_peds_with_horn. Peds should no longer keep running after players vehicle without entering it.

-- Fixed reset issues. 

-- Various minor improvements. 

http://pastebin.com/r2NV5Cd5 Information for those who wants to update their old configuration file from 2.3 to 2.4 instead of using the latest .ini file directly coming with the mod

- 2.5

-- Improved remove_all_ped_weapons - The army base Fort Zancudo no longer creates random explosions when flying over it. Thanks to Unknown_Modder.

-- Improved clear_player_wanted_level - Full access to Fort Zancudo and Los Santos International Airport. This means no wanted stars. Thanks to Unknown_Modder.

-- Fixed issue with fleeing peds which happend in some situations.

-- Peds can now be bussed even when the option to make everyone friendly and not flee is off.

-- Now ignores undrivable cars etc. when finding the closest vehicle. new_vehicle_max_height_over_ground in the .ini file should be 100000 instead of 100 as default. Also, this value is not dependent of max_distance_to_new_vehicle as it's said in the file. This will be changed in the next update but it's easy to change the values to what you want yourself now already. 

-- Updated the weapon list used for reset and removal with the new weapons from the latest game update.

-- Disabled player switch to avoid trevor. Save your game with/as Michael if you want to play as him and then install or activate the mod. 

-- Can disable the mobile phone completly.

-- Added Trevors friend Ron Jakowski to the list of disturbing peds. 

-- Removed the interior of trevors trailor.

-- Examples of additional activites in the 100% completed game saved: Play golf and tennis! Parachute jumps from piloted helicopter, yoga, triathlon, races, darts, watch a movie, get a haircut, ride the fairground rides, buy more clothes. 

-- Random and property events should now be disabled. 

-- The 100% completed game save is now preferred and recommended to use.

http://pastebin.com/02FLVGe3 Information for those who wants to update their old configuration file from 2.4 to 2.5 instead of using the latest .ini file directly coming with the mod

- 2.5.1

-- Two changes in the .ini file:

1. Recent game updates seems to have disabled the feature called fix_windows under [Both_Options]. It is now set to 0 instead of 1. There could be more errors related to Rockstars changes to the game. Please report if you find any. 

2. new_vehicle_max_height_over_ground in the .ini file should be 100000 instead of 100 as default. Also, this value is not dependent of max_distance_to_new_vehicle as it's said before in the file.

-- Nothing changed in the mod itself e.i. same as 2.5, just changes in the configuration file. Make sure that you got fix_windows=0. If you change this value or already have it set to 0 in your configuration file there is no need to update if you already got version 2.5.

- 2.6

-- All Ammu-Nations are now locked and interiors disabled when player weapons are set to not be allowed. 

-- All tattoo shops are now closed and locked by default and the interior lowered in quality (part of the game's exterior). 

-- House radios in for example the homes of Michel and Franklin are now set to one of the by you allowed radio station in the config file. For example self radio, your own music. The station will change when you change station in a vehicle. Initial station will be fixed in next version.

-- Allowed radio stations in the configuration file now also applies to peds vehicles by default. For example, if self radio is allowed, you can hear your own music from peds vehicles. 

-- Added support for getting peds cars when both ped_can_be_dragged_out and peds_like_you_and_wont_flee are set to 1.

-- Added reset to default skin settings used if the player model is changed to a disturbing ped. 3 different levels to choose from, max by default.

-- Added support for new weapons to reset and removal features (weapons were removed before as well but icons of the new ones could sometimes be seen in the weapon wheel).

-- The settings player_invincible, player_can_be_damaged and the player proof settings, when set to off, now allows other mods/trainers to change related natives. Same is done for all vehicles and peds. Vehicles and peds are not currently reset correctly when switching to off (able to take damage), meaning you have to load in new ones or affect them with another mod/ game feature.

-- Boats should no longer appear on land when getting a new random vehicle.

-- The setting vehicle_collisionProof fixed. Was set to the value of ped_collisionProof by mistake. That ment that the setting ped_collisionProof affected both ped and vehicle. 

-- Added support for two button and two key activation/deactivation. Might add support for 2 keys/buttons press for more features later. 

-- Removed the setting called "fix_windows" under "Both_Options". It might come back later if a fix is found. Or just use the vehicle invincibility features in a trainer like ENT.

-- Fixed problem with not able to change to some keys.

-- Refactoring.

-- Various minor fixes.

-- Fixes in the ini file.

- 3.0

Too much to list. Here is some of it:

Features are optional with the config file.

Main work and features (Settings can be turned on/off and many have more than one feature option)

1. The whole mod has been restructured, refactored and much of the code base revisited to be optimized.

2. A menu (inactived by default) for handling configuration files to make it easier to share configs and switch between them.

Default key is Delete and nav with num keys. Included controller support (no default values set).

Place your custom configuration files in the included folder called "FFFR" (folder placed in main GTAV folder)

and switch between them while playing. A few premade files are included.

Files can be renamed to whatever you like.

Make sure the main file exists in the main folder for the mod to work.

3. Work has been done to make the configuration file more readable. Many settings have been changed, removed and added. Note that old configuration files won't work anymore.

4. Collisions with some objects removed.

5. Better muting of peds.

6. The phone will not be stuck anymore when text messages native script is terminated.

7. New feature which stops peds from smoking.

8. Reworked system for removing disturbing peds. Including more settings for which peds to remove.

9. Player and peds now got their own vehicle settings. Same goes for some other settings.

10. You now switch between Michael and Franklin instantly by pressing the switch character button twice from the game/ character selector.

More info: can_switch_player improved. You can now switch between Michael and Franklin when the switch player button is disabled. Also when using other models, ped models, pressing character switch turns you into Michael.

11. Disturbing objects are now removed. The list might be made longer.

More info: Setting added for removal of disturbing objects. Report more if you find any. This setting also solves an issue with appinternet script termination affecting unrelated game features because it removes

computers. If you have the internet script set to be turned off and use a computer, shops etc.

will stop working since it's apparently is affecting them too.

12. Notification added upon config change.

13. Improved police chasing (needs to be enabled in the configuration file).

14. Added scanners to help when testing and finding references to peds, vehicles, objects and pickups.

15. New setting for vehicle auto unlocked. It can now be turned off.

16. Backup of player's clothes is created after game starts and loads. If no backup is found when pressing the character switch,

a set of default clothes are set. The backup is not stored between game sessions.

17. Replacing peds instead of just removing them.

18. Map out of bounds check and teleportation of player if outside.

19. Support added for inactive settings in addition to the true and false states.

20. Items being held by peds should no longer be removed without reason.

21. Better police chasing and included test config.

22. Teleportation feature

23. Give player copy of closest ped's skin feature.

24. Drive on the sea floor.

25. First version of mission suppression. Only prologue by default.

26. Jump with your car with key Q, amount of force depending on your engine power.

27. Key U (I in 1.7): Fix vehicle when outside. Fix vehicle and add random modification when inside and fix.

28. Added low chance of rare vehicles spawn in traffic. 

Some of the minor changes:

WEAPON_PETROLCAN added to allowed weapons.

Max_police_vehicle_speed fixed.

Better check of null values.

Fixed issue with wanted level.

Weapon references updated.

Fixed issue with text messages.

Fixed relative player heading after unstuck.

3.1

Improvements and fixes, FFFR 3.1

- Planes and helicopters are now affected by the engine power value

Note: At high values, the plane will bug out and the screen will be filled will artifacts and weird bugs with textures.

As a side effect, extra power also affects planes models altitude differently. Some rises slightly, some descends slightly.

- Jumping with the vehicle can be turned off or the key changed if you choose to activate the radio. 

You can also do it yourself by setting key_1_jump_with_vehicle=-1

- player_vehicle_water_handling=1 now excludes submarines, which otherwise make them stuck at the sea floor.

- Fix found for clerks in FFFR through changing config settings. More info in known-issues at the website.

- Radio on/off fixes.

- Bugfix: Regarding auto unlocking cars:

Decreased time between checking which fixed the issue.

- Added more objects to list of explosives

- Adjusted the effects of engine power on planes and helicopters.

- Minor fixes.

- CAN_BE_KNOCKED_OFF_VEHICLE (bikes) fixed. It's tied to player_can_ragdoll and ped_can_ragdoll

- More power applied to vehicle jump and funny effects adjusted.

The old configuration file for 3.0 will work fine in 3.1.

Included customized configuration files (inside the FFFR folder) are slightly changed in 3.1. Updated old versions can be found on discord:
"FFFR Friendly chaos x2 and light cops": 

No weapons, shooting etc. Vehicles jump further by increasing engine power (keys: num +/- by defualt). Cops will chase and bump into your vehicle and follow you on foot. Some traffic rules are on to allow the cops to chase you."

Also, the "FFFR Max Family Friendly (Extreme).ini" file was changed to not include limit to vehicle speed. You can find the old "extreme" file in the 3.0 download or an updated version on discord with: 

Max player vehicle speed set to limited/slow. 

No missions at all allowed. 

No passengers or being passenger.

No tools/"weapons" (golf club, flash light etc) at all.
