How To Install and Configure the K9 Patrol Mod in Your Schedule 1 Server

Note:

Vanilla law enforcement in Schedule 1 relies entirely on line-of-sight visual checks to spot illicit deals. The K9 Patrol mod (by DropDaDeuce) assigns trained police dogs to foot patrol routes across the map. These K9 units feature a dynamic scent-detection system that calculates what substances you carry, the total quantity, and your packaging type—allowing dogs to detect contraband through walls and initiate handler searches

11. Configure Patrol Mechanics

Adjust the patrol parameters under the [K9Unit] section:

Setting Key	Default Value	Recommended	Function
UnitCount	2	2 – 4	Total number of officer-and-dog pairs assigned to foot patrol routes.
SniffRadius	10.0	10.0	Base scent detection radius in meters. Contraband score expands or shrinks this distance.
ScentFullRadiusScore	20.0	20.0	Contraband score required to trigger the full SniffRadius. Lowering makes dogs sharper.
ScentMaxRadiusMultiplier	1.5	1.5	Hard cap on scent distance expansion ($10\text{ m} \times 1.5 = 15\text{ m}$ max range).
RecheckInterval	0.2	0.2	How often (in seconds) each dog scans for nearby contraband.
BodySearchStartDistance	1.25	1.25	Proximity (in meters) the officer must reach before starting a body search.
SearchCooldown	30.0	30.0	Seconds of immunity after a search before any K9 can target that player again.
PursuitSpeedMultiplier	1.25	1.25	Speed multiplier applied to the handler during a pursuit.
AmbientBarkEnabled	true	true	Enables ambient, non-alert barks while patrolling near players.
DebugLogging	false	false	Enables verbose pathfinding and scent diagnostic logging in Latest.log.

13. Configure Scents and Packaging

Adjust the base drug odors, packaging multipliers, and container cloaking parameters:

Section	Setting / Key	Recommended	Function
[smell]	Cocaine	1.0	Scent intensity score per unit. Higher values let dogs detect it from further away.
[smell]	Meth	1.0	Scent intensity score per unit.
[smell]	Weed	1.0	Scent intensity score per unit.
[smell]	Shrooms	1.0	Scent intensity score per unit.
[smell]	Ingredient	0.5	Scent intensity score per unit for raw precursor supplies and ingredients.
[smell]	Product	0.5	Scent intensity score per unit for intermediate contraband items.
[packaging]	(none)	1.0	Scent multiplier for loose product (lets 100% of the odor escape).
[packaging]	baggie	0.6	Scent multiplier for baggies (lets 60% of the smell escape).
[packaging]	brick	0.6	Scent multiplier for compressed bricks (lets 60% of the smell escape).
[packaging]	jar	0.4	Scent multiplier for sealed jars (lets 40% of the smell escape).
[containers]	backpack	0.5 – 1.0	Scent multiplier for modded backpacks (1 = no scent reduction; 0 = fully cloaked).
[items]	(Item ID)	Optional	Custom per-item ID overrides that bypass category smell values (e.g., ogkush = 2).

16. How K9 Scent Detection Works In-Game

1. Dynamic Scent Scoring: For every item in your hotbar, the mod calculates:

Score = Smell X Units X Packaging

Carrying small amounts requires dogs to get closer, while large stashes push the detection radius out to the ScentMaxRadiusMultiplier cap (15M).

1. Environmental Muffling: Solid obstacles like walls, closed doors, and upper/lower building floors cut the remaining scent score down to approximately one-third, helping you evade detection indoors.

2. Alert & Pursuit Loop: When a K9 detects contraband, it alerts its handler, turns toward you, and increases pursuit speed (1.25x) until it reaches BodySearchStartDistance (1.25m) to trigger an official search.

3. Anti-Stuck Teleportation: If a dog gets stuck on stairs, elevators, or falls more than 30m (or 5m vertically) behind its officer, it automatically warps back to its handler.
