ELS Cinematic view enabler 1.0.2

(2 reviews)

By waynieoaks

3 Screenshots

July 2025: Currently I am NOT active in GTA/LSPDFR but as far as I am aware, this plugin still works as is. Unfortunately without a working game and no time to code anymore I can no longer support my developed plugins. All my code is available on GitHub if people want to steal / update the plugins themselves. 

 

Emergency Lighting System (ELS) currently disables the in game cinematic view due to keybinding issues. However, if you change the keybindings to avoid this - the in game view is still not available in ELS vehicles.

 

This script will simply allow you to set your own keybinding to activate / deactivate the in game cinematic view at will for both ELS and non ELS vehicles. (If not using ELS however, you do not need this unless you would like to use cinematic view while in 1st person).

 

Note: I strongly suggest you avoid setting it to a keybinding that you use for ELS (or for any other mod for that matter). I also suggest not setting the same as the in game keybinding for cinematic view (as it can be seen as a double press, turning the view on and off again).

 

List of potential keybindings can be found: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.windows.forms.keys?view=netframework-4.8 or to disable a binding (e.g. the modifier key) set it to None

 

Controller buttons are disabled (None) by default but can be set to: DPadLeft, DPadRight, DPadUp, DPadDown, X, Y, A, B, LeftThumb, RightThumb, LeftShoulder, RightShoulder, Back or Start Be wary of conflicts with other controller bindings

 

Current limitations:

  • Does not work in 1st person on motorcycles or bicycles (seems to detect 1st person as a cinematic view)
  • Cannot "press and hold" for temporary activation like "in game" control
  • If the keybinding is same as "in game" binding, it may turn it on and off in quick succession for non-ELS vehicles

 

Installation:

  1. Copy the plugins folder into your "Grand Theft Auto V" install folder
  2. Edit the .ini to meet your requirements Note: Avoid conflicting keys / buttons with ELS or the in game controls

Very interesting plugin, glad someone took the initiative to do this after several years of having ELS.  I will give it a try, looks promising.  I will reply back with a review.  Thanks!

    Is it possible to increase the time interval between switching perspectives of each movie?Or can the player choose to fix one of the perspectives?

    HI @CC2020, 

     

    I'll look into it but I am not sure if it will be possible or not. All this is doing is turning on and turning off the default in game cinematic view so it is working as it would in the game.

    First of all thanks for the script, it's really annoying to want to use the camera and not be able to because of ELS.

    But anyway I leave my question it would not be possible to create the script without having to use the "RAGE Plugin Hook"?

    Hi @pcgamesmods, 

     

    I am not sure about scripthookv but should be possible with similar code for scripthookv.net. 

    I have just started tinkering with that with my "I surrender" mod. 

     

    I have added this to my GitHub so I don't forget to look into it when I have some time. 

     

    Many thanks.

    Hey @pcgamesmods, 

     

    I have been struggling with a couple of bugs - I cannot get it to work in first person view at all. But if that is not a showstopper for you, and you are willing to accept I have not had time to fully test this so there may be bugs you can download a scripthook.net version here: 

     

    https://github.com/waynieoaks/ELS-Cinematic/raw/main/ELS-Cinematic-SVnet/bin/Debug/ELS-Cinematic-SVnet.zip

     

    You will need Scripthook.Net v3 and to put both files in your scripts folder. 

     

    Do let me know if you find any issues - I need to refine the code and retest fully before releasing a proper version. But right now I am trying to rebuild my PC and get everything working again.

    Hi Bobby, 

     

    This version is the RagePluginHook version that does need to be in the plugins folder. 

     

    Someboody asked for a scripthook version which I managed to get working in scripthook.net. 
    I have not had time to put the two together for download, but you can get the .net version here: 
    https://github.com/waynieoaks/ELS-Cinematic/raw/main/ELS-Cinematic-SVnet/bin/Debug/ELS-Cinematic-SVnet.zip

     

    It will need scripthook.net and to be in your scripts folder to work.

    Mannn i was so pumped for this mod but I cannot for the life of me get it to work. I've got it installed in my GTA V main directory<plugins folder, and I have the keybindings changed to B with the LShiftKey as the modifier. That key binding isn't set up for anything else so it shouldnt be having an issue but it still won't work. Anyone still active on here and could possibly help?

    Hey @69will69, 

     

    If you drop into my Discord and upload your RagePluginHook log file I'll have a look to see if I can see the issue. Also the scripthook logs may help me see if there is an issue on the ELS side of things.

    I figured it out man thanks though for taking the time to reply! Might be a dumb mistake as I'm semi new to lspdfr but turns out after installing it I didn't know you have to go into rageplugin settings and click the els cinematic to be loaded into the game. I thought you just downloaded the file and put it into gta v main directory<plugins and set your keybinding.
