Emergency Lighting System 1.05

(234 reviews)

By Lt.Caine

3 Screenshots

Emergency Lighting System V brings one of the most popular modifications ever created for a GTA title (ELS-IV) to Grand Theft Auto V. ELS-V will add a whole new dimension to  your patrols. With a fresh look and many more features than its predecessor, it's also sure to brighten up your game and satisfy the emergency lighting enthusiast in anyone.

 

DESCRIPTION
− ELS provides an alternate and incredibly in-depth way of controlling emergency vehicle lights and sounds.
− ELS requires vehicle models specifically designed to make use of its features.
− ELS includes over 200 unique lighting patterns scattered across 4 light groups and lighting formats.

 

NOTES
− Please consult the ELS USER GUIDE and other provided documentation prior to using ELS.

− As of V1.00 ELS is not compatible with any form of multiplayer.
− A visual enhancement mod is recommended to improve the appearance of ELS lights in game.

 

BASIC INSTALLATION
− A GTAV ScriptHook must be installed for any .asi modification to work. The original may be found HERE.
− Using script modifications in GTA Online can result in a temporary or permanent ban from the service.
− 1. Place ELS.asi, ELS.ini, the ELS folder, and  AdvancedHookV.dll inside your main GTA V game directory.
− 2. Download and install (a) pro-ELS vehicle model(s).
− 3. Start your game.

 

CREDITS
− ELS is coded by Lt.Caine.

− AdvancedHookV and vehicle damage feature coded by LMS.
− ELS-V testing team (alphabetical order): Albo1125, BxBugs123, GravelRoadCop, PoliceWag, and Prophet.

What's New in Version 1.05

Released

  • Removed auto deletion of discarded ELS vehicles to prevent crashes when using certain LSPDFR plugins.
  • Removed ELS manipulation of AI vehicles as persistent/not persistent for same reason.
  • Removed strobe corona flash sounds (while retaining sound effects for halogen patterns).
  • Toggling the ELS information panel will now reload everything in the ELS.ini.
  • Fixed error in ELS User Guide that incorrectly associated SCNL with extra_11 and TKDL with extra_12 (the opposite is true).
  • Updated ELS User Guide to reflect new changes.
  • ELS.ini change: Added "AllowController" option to CONTROL section to allow enabling/disabling controller input for ELS.
  • ELS.ini change: Added "TogKeysLock" option to CONTROL section to allow changing ELS key lock button.

 

Please download the AdvancedHookV fix if you are using game build 3258.

I can get ELS working, however, like some other users pointed out, the coronas do not display correctly. That is, when I am in vehicle, the lights appear dim. When I exit the vehicle and move a distance away (probably due to the LodCoronaInitDistance setting in the .ini), the coronas appear and the lights are bright. I tried setting this value to 0, but then the coronas never appear. I set it to 0.1, but the coronas still don't appear when I'm in vehicle; instead, they appear immediately after I exit it. Is this a bug? Does it have something to do with the distance scaling setting in-game?

 

Edit: Nope, nothing to do with the distance scaling options in-game.

Having an issue where I am using the warning and/or secondary lights outside of the light stages system or when only stage 1 or 2 stages but not all 3 stages are in use, and I get out of the vehicle all the lights go very dim. Otherwise they work fine and look fantastic. It only happens if I exit the car.

 

Thanks for all your work. Happy Christmas!

Just go ingame and change "Post FX" & "Shader Quality" in your graphic settings on high or above. After that you will have those sweet lights.

I have that and it works fine on light stage 3 but if I have just light stage 1 or 2 activated and get out of the car the lights are dim. If I'm in the car light stage 1 and 2 look and work fine. I have noticed that this also doesn't seem to happen all the time so I'm not sure whats happening.

    I've installed several ELS-compatible vehicles, such as BxBugs' CVPI. I've place all the files in the ELS VCF folder, but when I press J, nothing happens. Also, if I press E or Left Thumb to activate the sirens, only the head and taillights flash - nothing from any other lights. Help??

    Is there a way to edit the controller keybindings? I use Left D-pad for Police Radio. Really aggravating to have it turn the lights on and off when I use it.

    Love this. Best so far.. Just quick question, How do I change the lock key instead of scroll lock to like the insert button. It turns my keyboard light off.

    When I use the left D-PAD on my controller to bring up police radio, my lights turn off. So how would I turn off controller support for ELS?  

    Thx

    For the time being, I just changed the look-back view in vehicles to an unused key and am toggling PoliceRadio with the C key (the default binding). Or you could go into PoliceRadio's config file and change the binding to the right D-PAD, but then you'd have to change the key for the headlights. Either way, until we can find out how to disable controller bindings, those fixes should work well.

    how to remove the buttons on the controller

    Hey guys, I'm having an issue where my Cinematic Camera binding is being overwritten (R by default).  R = 82 according to the chart provided.  82 is no where to be found in the .ini file under Controls section.  And whenever I change R to something else in-game (say Q for example), that button gets overwritten.  It overwrites it with the main welp I believe.

     

    I'm fine with it on the controller, but would love to have Cinematic Camera back on the keyboard.  Is there a way to do this?

     

    Thanks again for this awesome mod, I know you guys spent a lot of time developing it for us. :)

     

    Same issue here unfortunately. Not a huge deal as the mod itself is fantastic but would be nice to be rectified if possible.

    It would be wonderful to be able to customize the controller bindings.

    Currently it's not possible to change the 'Enable/disable ELS keys' functionality from the ScrollLockKey, however not all modern day keyboards actually have scroll lock button, particularly on smaller keyboards/laptops.

     

    Support should be added so that we can change the key assigned to such important function.

    I hate to be this guy.
    I know ELS took a LOT of work.
    And, it runs and looks great.

    But... (So sorry) I hate the way ELS splits the mod community. Back when LSPDFR was for GTA IV it

    got harder and harder to find any quality cars that didn't require ELS to work correctly.
    I think that would be a shame for that to happen again.

    Now, if I am wrong here, please correct me, but if a car uses ELS, that means it HAS to have ELS correct?

    If so, I hope the devs that make add-ons/cars/etc don't start requiring ELS on everything or at least make non ELS variations because some of us do not need nor want to added complexity.

    I understand what ELS is trying to do, and I can see the need for it in certain situations, but with all the right add-ons added for LSPDFR to

    make it a good facsimile of reality it is already pretty hard to come up with a control scheme / button layout that doesn't conflict with other mods.
    Now, adding ELS is going to throw more complexity and conflicts with pre-existing key set-ups.

    most of the cars that have been converted are already non-els cars pretty much. 

     

    I think its important that we all view ELS for what it is which is an awesome mod and step towards a more realistic game play. I personally think its amazing and it in noway conflicts with ANY mods i have installed. ELS has been a long time in dev and because of that there are a number of cars to choose from which are indeed non-ELS.

     

    I think its difficult to compare LSPDFR to LCPDFR given the huge stability issues that even today are an issue on GTA 4. Times move on and and this is exactly what this mod does. Yes clearly people are still having some minor issues however; that will always be the case for anything new. 

     

    Embrace the change and enjoy the fact that we are able to enjoy the mods created by a very talented group of people.

    The ELS UI key is ctrl-P by default. I'd suggest remapping it in the .ini to ctrl-B... unless you like the game to pause every time you press ctrl-P (default keybind for pause is P)

    Far as I can tell, T and R do the same thing in ELS, with the caveat that T can be remapped, and R cannot. It seems like to me the "R" key binding is redundant and could just be disabled by the developer and that would solve the issue.

    I have tried 3 different models by different authors.

     

    ELS in general works fine. However, I want the lights to be blue instead of red and blue. I go into the VCF and change the reds to blue, start game. Lights stay the exact same.

     

    Is this a vehicle author problem or a bug in ELS?
