A full overhaul of the original Surrender V mod, rebuilt from the ground up for a deeper, more authentic busted experience that mirrors vanilla GTA V, with additional features.
Why Remade
The former codebase was riddled with issues that made updates a nightmare. This clean rewrite is faster, easier to maintain, and feature-rich enough to stand on its own.
Key Features
Custom Busted System: Completely re-engineered surrendering, companions can surrender too (≥ 1 star).
Community Service: At 2 stars, pay your debt by cleaning litter, from three different locations.
Full Trial System: Face the judge, hear the verdict, then accept your sentence, or walk free.
Prison Gameplay: Sentence length scales with the wanted level you surrendered at (With the option to bail out early).
Smarter Chases Compatibility: Still in progress.
Controller Support: Fully remappable.
Installation Requirements
ScriptHookV
ScriptHookVDotNet 3.6.0 +
LemonUI
Enable All Interiors (Or enable MP maps)
Disable Busted (optional but highly recommended)
Installation

How to Surrender
Surrender is enabled once you reach at least 1 star.
Press X (keyboard) or FrontendRight / FrontendCancel (controller)
Changelog:
v1.0 (Release)
Bounty Hunting System (Major Feature)
New per-star bounty values: $500 per star tier with cumulative totals, replacing flat multipliers.
Dynamic hunter escalation: Bounty severity unlocks different factions (thugs → mercs → Merryweather).
Crime-driven growth: Bounty increases as you commit crimes while wanted (with or without BC+).
XML persistence: Bounties survive game save/reload cycles.
HUD display: Real-time bounty amount visible on the timer bar.
Improved capture mechanics:
Tasers fire while hunters advance (not from a standstill).
On-foot hunters can tackle you at melee range, subduing you into arrest.
Death handling: Hunters despawn when you die mid-chase; bounty remains owed.
Better Chases+ Deep Integration
Per-chase crime reset: Crime-flag counting resets when BC+ swaps to a new chase, fixing crime ghosting.
Per-kill bounty credit: Individual kills credited per body, in addition to BC+ type flags.
Chase state detection: Uses BC+’s chase object reference to detect new wanted episodes.
Transport & Vehicle Entry Improvements
Player now enters police vans through whichever rear passenger door is open or nearest (not always rear-left).
Entry is animated (player walks up and climbs in) instead of fade-to-black.
Officer positioning adapts to the chosen door.
UI & Message Cleanup
Removed transport status hints (“Stay down…”, “…transported to Mission Row”).
Removed debug notifications and bounty flavor text.
Removed prison/jail timer notifications and escape objective hints.
