Emergency Lighting System 1.05

(235 reviews)
Message added by Cyan,

ELS doesn't currently function on Grand Theft Auto V: Enhanced Edition.

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 am replying to this, to get it bumped. I am currently suffering with the same issue. I have reinstalled scripthookV, I have reinstalled advanced hook from both the patch and from the ELS 1.0.5 file like it says to do on newer versions, I have deleted NVE.asi, I have deleted args.txt, I have tried everything with still no fix.

Have you fixed it?

I'm getting the Core ELS.asi exception error when downloading a few add on clothes packs. I installed the advanced hook from ELS 1.05. Only a few add on packs are causing this issue.. Has anyone else experienced this?

Would be stupid if there won't be, then ELS might as well go down the drain for GTA V.

With the latest update to GTAV the CHP patterns have stopped working. When on stage 3, the lights do not flash/alternate on the front of the vehicle. The driver side of the lightbar is steady red, and the passenger side does not work. When I exit the vehicle the lights come on steady burn (as intended). Not sure if this is a pack issue or an ELS issue. Things were working fine before I updated GTA to the latest version, 3788, and made no changes to the xml files since the update.

I have updated ScripthookV(3788), ScripthookVDotNet(2.11.6.0), the modified SSLA on discord (3788) and can not seem to resolve the issue. I have no problems with ELS working correctly on other cars, its specific to the CHP patterns on the cars in the CHP megapack by "theHurk". It appears that other users are having a similar issue reading through the comments for the car pack itself.

I do have it. I've been playing with mods on enhanced. It's just that it's my first time using ELS. I'm getting the AdvanceHookV.dll error though.

That's why I brought it up here, as I looked briefly at the CHP car pack and didn't see anything that would be pack specific. I know just enough to be dangerous with coding so I wanted to get the opinions of the experts here. It is my understanding that the CHP patterns are coded into ELS, not into the car itself - in the XML file where the author would specify "LEDS", "TRAF", etc it has "CHP" Listed and all the patterns set to "0". Is my initial assumption correct that this is by design in ELS? If that is the case, I am not sure changing the model would actually resolve the problem, is that correct? Thank you in advance for helping to resolve this issue!

Does anyone know why I have two keybinds for airhorn and manual siren with ELS? E and Y toggle the horn and R and T do the manual siren. In the ELS.ini only T and Y are binded for these 2 functions.

Sound_Ahorn = 89

Sound_Manul = 84

I was getting this error after updating "RealTrafficAI", the author of that mod put up a note about a "hotfix" that is coming. Uninstalling the RalTrafficAI 2.0 mod resolved the issue.

I was able to replicate the error but only with ELS & DLS V2 installed while running RAGEpluginhook. Removed DLS and the error disappeared.

Food for thought.....Both used to work together for me.

There is a lighting issue that appeared in the latest GTA 5 update.

Guys I might've found the solution for the ELS.asi error!

I was fighting against this for hours and all it got from me is to completely delete only the AdvancedHook.dll and reinstall the ELS 1.05, take the AdvancedHookV.dll from there to your game directory and that's it for me. Hope this works for you too!

Correct, the standalone AdvancedHookV.dll does not work with the current game version.

As a side note, if anyone runs into an ELS issue where only the rear brake lights are flashing and no other emergency lights are working, try reinstalling Script Hook V and RageNativeUI. This is a common cause and typically fixes the issue.

ELS and DLS are not designed to run together, as stated on the DLS mod page. Running both simultaneously can lead to conflicts, unexpected behaviour, or lighting issues.

If you're using DLS, make sure ELS is completely removed or disabled before testing. Likewise, if you prefer to use ELS, DLS should not be installed alongside it.

It works perfectly fine. The last update date doesn't really matter in this case, as the mod was designed to work across game versions without requiring frequent updates. In my experience, those are often the best kinds of mods, if they're built well and don't rely on game-version-specific features, they can remain fully functional for years without needing any changes.

Make sure you have Script Hook V, RageNativeUI and the AdvancedHookV.dll within ELS V1.05 not the separate dll.

Hii!
I'm having an issue with ELS.

After installing ELS, GTA V crashes shortly after launching through RAGE Plugin Hook. The game starts loading, but crashes seconds later i clicked "story mode with rph"

To troubleshoot, I completely removed the ELS files, and the game immediately started working normally again. I have tested this with multiple ELS vehicles, so the issue does not appear to be related to a specific vehicle.
