Would it work on FiveM?

I'm guessing you'd need to use archive fix for this, because it replaces  game files from the main directory (which FiveM can have troubles with)

For anyone who can't find there "graphics.ytd" I used the following path and it works fine in game (from what I've noticed at least) mods > x64a.rpf > textures

Yeah that should work too, I thought that having a graphics.ytd in the update.rpf was normal, but I must have forgot and it should go into x64a.rpf for people that have not modded their update.rpf yet. Thanks! I've updated the file with better instructions now. The case for me was VisualV adds the graphics.ytd there, and I forgot about that and assumed it was normal.

Firstly awesome mod. Although I have an issue with using it with the pistol, Don't know if it's just me or you know GTA, GTAing. It's not bright and doesn't line up to where it should be pointing. Don't know if there is a fix for that or not.

Can you show me a screenshot of it not being bright? Because it has the same brightness as the original flashlight, just a different design. Or it might be that your visual mod or what not is keeping the brightness down, then you could go to the ''weaponcomponents.meta'' in ''update.rpf'', and edit the ''MainLightIntensity'' to something that works for you. 

About the flashlight not being lined up with the reticule, GTA V never actually made the flashlight line up with your reticle in the first place. You can see this for yourself by aiming down the sights in first person mode because then it does line up. It's kinda annoying but so far I haven't found a way around it. If anyone knows how to offset the projection of the under barrel flashlight in third person I'd love to know. 

I could offset the centerpoint and center it for third person but then first person mode players would complain 😉

right

Thanks

Really wish this would work on FiveM, it would be so awesome to have. Maybe someone would be able to make it work on FiveM??

My game started to crash on the loading screen after I tried to install this. I installed everything via the mods folder and followed your instructions perfectly in the readme. The only divergence was that I installed the torch texture in update/update.rpf/x64/textures/graphics.ytd but had not modified that before; however, it was already in my /mods/ folder.

Any suggestions to get my game working again?

This files included in this mod are not able to cause game crashes unless you placed them in a incorrect location. It could be your game just crashed randomly, try starting your game again 1-2 more times. Sometimes GTA V just likes to crash.

Do we have confirmation yet that it's 0.4 compatible? His comment worries me, considering.

It's 0.4 compatible, although I haven't taken the time to test it yet with the new animations. His comment is simply a user error, as you can see other users are able to use this mod perfectly fine (so am I) 

thanks for the awesome mod,  adds another layer of detail to my patrols, just wondering i saw your previous comment  about the center of the light not lining up with third person  reticule,would it be possible to create a version where it lines up with third person reticule, so then you could have a first and third person version?

Yeah, I've had that idea in mind as well. I'm currently working on that as the flashlight not lining up also annoys me  😉  

@PGRedux New version is up with a 3rd person option, check it out!

For some reason mine looks nothing like the pictures. The only thing my flashlights have are the small center dot

What visual mods do you use and did you install the .meta files correctly? Make a screenshot if you can. 

0.4?

In the description 

Does this work in first-person? 0.4.2 broke the ability to use the flash light in first person 😞

I don't really play in first person but I tested out the flashlight and it seems to work? Only I need to aim it to shine it on the ground otherwise my character points the flashlight in the sky. Which is weird. But, it works if you aim.

I use MVGA which makes night time insanely dark. So, when I do a traffic stop at night, I like to switch over to first person and us the flash light - something that I'm currently unable to do with 0.4.2. Thanks for the info - I'll give it a go shortly.

I'm not the most experienced with exactly where to edit things but is there a way to make the regular handheld flashlight shine as far as the attachments do? Gun attachments work beautifully and I am super thrilled! The handheld has the texture and brightness from this mod but only shines about 10 feet ahead. Maybe I missed a step in the instructions or is this mod not supposed to change the handhelds range? I also wish I knew how to get rid of the ugly blinding haze from the handheld when in first person

Edit: I'd also just like to give thanks for the mod. A seemingly small change makes such a big difference in immersion!

Edit number 2: .. scratch like all of that about the handheld. When it was said that the mphalloween file wasn't required in 0.4, I didn't realize it was actually the fix to all of my handheld issues. Handheld now also works just as beautifully!

Im crashing while loading into the game. The loading page doesnt even appear, its a black screen then RPH crashes. I installed it 3 times already to try to ensure i did it correctly but im still crashing.

Edit: I download three mods and installed them all before running the game. This was one of the mods, unfortunately i dont know which one caused the crashes.

Even if i uninstall the mods i continue to crash, my guess is that i corrupted some files. Help would be appreciated
Mods: Flashlight Overhaul, LaserSight 1.0 [.NET], & Taser x26.

Why is my regular flashlight and attachment flashlight different? Can someone tell me the link in OpenIV to the attachment flashlight or how to make them the same.  

So your mod cannot change the custom flashlight from LSPDFR 0.4. May I know where can I change it's visual settings?
