Improved Spotlight and LED 9.0.5

Put this one into your taxi and see if it fixes your issue. If it does, PM me your taxi signs file and I will layer it for you and send it back, its a 1 minute job in GIMP or Photoshop.

Hey, can you please link this sheriff ped skin? 

btw: the mod is amazing :)

Thanks and sorry the skin is a personal private mod of mine, I may release it in the future.

Okay, No problem. :) I Hope you release the skin :D

How to change a brightness (i mean indicator lights) ?

Great mod, but PLEASE make it more clear which files actually belong to this mod and which don't. IE make a folder 'bonus add-ons' so it's clear they aren't required. Installation was pretty confusing because of this!

How do you install this with VisualV?

Can someone please message me how to tweak them so they don't look like this?



People are saying, "This is how it looked after I tweaked it"..... and Im guessing that means the VisualSettings file, but what the hell do I edit in there...? Sorry for the noob question.....

I really don't understand what you're asking me ....

This mod makes certain sirens look like that screenshot. I noticed in particular on the Chevy Impala. So I just removed it.

Some models have shitty LED textures that projects what you see above. You need to download this http://www.lcpdfr.com/files/file/7753-gta-v-tir6-led-lights/

I will give that a try but to show you what I'm talking about:

Impala without your mod:

Impala with your mod:

The rear sirens with your mod definitely look baby blue and orange. Is that something the Tir6 lights will fix?

Open your visualsettings.dat and find the follow parameters :

car.defaultlight.day.emissive.on

car.defaultlight.night.emissive.on

Change the values to something like 50, or 40, and see if it helps for you. Some results are different than others.

EDIT :

Did you use my custom LED texture for your impala ??

Nope, just visualsettings.dat and graphics.ytd. From the latest version (hotfix)

Why does it look so shit? What do I need to do to make it look better? A little more to the point... I specifically asked how to tweak them so they don't look quite so bad? I then continued to ask People are saying, "This is how it looked after I tweaked it"..... and Im guessing that means the VisualSettings file, but what the hell do I edit in there...?

With ^this^ part though, as I'm NOT using any Police Car mods (I only use 1 texture on the Sheriff vehicle) would I still be able to change the indicator brightness without messing up a texture?

And the last question I PROMISE, how can I tweak the visualsettings to make them look more like yours?

Since I installed this mod all parked vehicles have their lights on at night... What do I need to tweak to fix this?

Right in the description.

OTHERS : 
- IF YOU DON'T WANT THE INDICATOR LIGHTS TO BE ALWAYS ON, TWEAK THE FOLLOWING VALUES TO THIS. IF YOU ARE USING POLICE CAR MODS, DON'T TOUCH THIS !! 

car.indicator.day.emissive.on 10.00 
car.indicator.night.emissive.on 10.00 
car.indicator.day.emissive.off 0.30 
car.indicator.night.emissive.off 0.003

I saw it but I was asking because it is not just the indicator lights but also the head lights. I'll give it a try, thanks.

What headlights are you talking about ? Pics will help.

It was just me being an idiot I guess. It was most likely some bright indicators on the front that made them look like headlights. The tweak did the trick :)

Thanks, I love the mod!

EDIT 2 : Fixed. There was an extra file to modify, sheriff+hi.ytd.

Can I get some advice please? I used the "Amber lights and Clear Lightbar" mod to fix the orange lights. So it is working on police and police4 models (my police.ytd and police4.ytd are both under x64e.rpf, there is no other duplicates elsewhere).

But it won't work on the sheriff model, no matter what I do. I have 3 sheriff.ytd, the first one is under x64e.rpf along with police and police4, the second one is under update > x64 > dlcpacks > patchday1ng > dlc.rpf and the last one under update > x64 > dlcpacks > patchday3ng > dlc.rpf). I am 100% confident that there is no other file used elsewhere since I did a search to find them in the first place. I tried editing the PNG image to keep the blue/red lightbar instead of transparent (it is more to my liking), I have played with the colors of the LED only while keeping the lightbar transparent from the Amber lights mod then my colored lightbar. Nothing. What seems to happen is that the game doesn't want to use the new texture because the Amber lights mod adds an orange part on the headlights that will appear when I check the model with OpenIV but then won't appear in game.

sheriff.ytd under x64e.rpf so that you can see that it is correctly updated (same update for the 2 other sheriff.ytd):

the car model as seen in OpenIV (orange indicator lights and orange part on the healdlights):

Is the MipMaps value of any importance? Because the default sheriff_lights texture has a MipMaps value of 7 but my texture won't go higher than 4...

now the sheriff car in game (as you can see the headlights and indicator lights are all white):

So it is like the game refuses to use the sheriff texture in my mods folder and goes with the default one.

What is also odder is that seen from afar the lights look right, the blue is darker and the red light is actually red. The furthest car looks fine while the closest looks wrong:

The closest car now shown from afar, now it looks right:

What should I do to correct the lights on this car? Thanks in advance!

EDIT: a couple of notes.

1. sheriff_lights under update > x64 > dlcpacks > patchday3ng > dlc.rpf > x64 > levels > gta5 > vehicles.rpf has a size of 128x128 unlike the other ones. I tried with both 128x128 and 256x256 and it didn't change anything. I am not sure what the halved size means.

2. Here are the various sheriff_lights files that I used along with the one from the Amber lights mod.

None of them have fixed the issue.

3. Since it felt like the game wasn't using the modded file from the mods folder I went to great lengths by modding the files from the GTA folder directly (I have a backup!)... and it didn't fix anything either. Is it possible that the sheriff model uses the LED lights from another car so that editing the LED from sheriff_lights changes nothing?

Edited October 5, 201510 yr by DLM3

Is there any way to not having the parking lights enabled and use car mods?

Is there anyway at all to make this compatible with VisualV? I'm afraid it's a little bit out of my skillset, but I am wondering if it is at all possible?
