Dynamic Lighting System 2.0.0.2

Thanks for your help, I'll try to set it up ... 🤨

I don't want to be annoying, but it's not true what is written in the description of this mode: "Easily configurable (and customizable) Traffic Advisory System;
Easy to set up for new vehicles (without changes to the model itself or the default .meta files);
!! Seriously?
There are about a million things I have to do in the instructions on how to set up DLS !!!
I'm using a great addon: 1993 Vapid Stanier Emergency Pack [Add-On] 1.0 and it doesn't work for this addon.

Example:
TEMPLATE VEHICLE CONFIGURATION FILES
The Vehicle Configuration Files in the "TEMPLATE VEHICLE CONFIGS" are not ready for in-game use! They are a basic ways to have your vehicles
use custom siren sounds (like the SAHP motorcycle siren, ambulance sirens, FBI sirens ...).

To use them:
1) Copy the file to your "Plugins / DLS" folder.
2) Rename it to the vehicle model name you want to use with.
3) Copy that vehicle's sirensetting entry (might be found packed with the download for that vehicle or on your game files with OpenIV.
4) Paste the sirensetting entry (without the <Item> tags) into the <Stage3> tag in the .xml file you created.
5) Verify if there are no errors in the XML with: https://codebeautify.org/xmlvalidator
6) Done!

DLS - Dynamic Lighting System
v1.4.1 (DECEMBER 19 2020)
Made by TheMaybeast

DLS allows for an extreme amount of customization in a vehicle configuration file. Here I'll list all features and explain how they can be implemented.

PRESET SIREN ON LEAVE VEHICLE (<PresetSirenOnLeaveVehicle>)
* Allows you to define a pattern that will be toggled to if lights are on and you leave the vehicle (it'll return to the previous one upon entering).

WAIL SETUP (<WailSetup>)
* Allows you to define a light stage (<WailLightStage>) for the vehicle to turn to when on a specific siren tone (<WailSirenTone>).

STEADY BURN (<SteadyBurn>)
* Allows you to allocate a few sirens (<Sirens>) to utilize as a steady burn with a custom pattern (<Pattern>) or the default one.

SIREN KILL OVERRIDE (<SirenKillOverride>)

Why do you write "Easy to set up for new vehicles (without changes to the model itself or the default .meta files);" ????
It's much more complicated than the classic ELS !!!

I don't want to disparage your work, but the instructions are extremely demanding! Every GTA 5 player is not a pc programmer!🧐😕😟

All it takes is some time in the livelights plugin, which is linked in one of the files, and some time copy-pasting to the right sections.
And yes, this is more complicated than the work done on the user end of ELS, it requires you actually set up your light patterns. It is much easier than the developer end though. If you don't want to set up your own configs try this https://www.gta5-mods.com/misc/dls-lore-friendly-vehicle-config-megapack-v1-0

Thank you for your help, I will try to solve it according to that mode "https://www.gta5-mods.com/misc/dls-lore-friendly-vehicle-config-megapack-v1-0" thanks 🤔

That mod "https://www.gta5-mods.com/misc/dls-lore-friendly-vehicle-config-megapack-v1-0" helped, now it works !!!! 🤩
But not for the 1993 Vapid Stanier Emergency Pack [Add-On] 1.0 😟, maybe next time🥺 . Thanks for the help Mud!🤗

Great idea! Any plans to make this not require ragehook and maybe be compatible with fivem? 

It's a stretch but still figured I'd ask!

As far as I'm aware a FiveM version would require compatibility by CFX so it syncs properly, I don't think that will happen anytime in the near future

Is there anyway to customize controller keybinds ?

is it possible to have it for a fivem server??

I'm sure I'm missing something, but can anyone tell me how to customize the AI Yield to Vehicle per stage setting (Issue #17 in the change log) for DLS? On half my cars, AI yields to everything, including cruise lights. On the other half, they only yield to stage 3

Bumping my question again as I still have not figured this out...

I also get a slight hiccup in frames every time I hit my lights, is this just me? 

Is this controller friendly like ELS? I don't see any controller bindings in the .ini

So I'm just getting back into LSPDFR and saw this DLS thing, will I be able to use ELS and DLS vehicles in game or it just sorta a choose DLS or choose ELS, cause I got vehicles on both sides I like but I'm not to sure if putting both in game would work or not?

In the ini set "SirenControlNonDLS=true" to false and it won't conflict with ELS as long as one car doesn't have a config in each system

Even having only used a single car pack this does appear to be a vast improvement over ELS.

Are the plans to add wig-wags to this or am I an idiot and there's already a way to enable them?

Hi, I like this plugin a lot but I'm pretty computer stupid. I don't know how to configure anything and the "How To" docs are not helpful whatsoever. I use this plugin with the default vehicles and it works for every vehicle but POLICE3. With POLICE3 I just get a messed up light pattern on every stage. I would appreciate some in depth help on this one.

is there a pack of DLS configs for all default vehicles?

I would love to see a video of someone taking a non-els vehicle and setting up the DLS. I've searched everywhere. I'm looking at you benzo LOL 😆 

Hey I have some problems with DLS. When I press "J" to turn on the lightbar it also turns on the default sirens and I can't turn off them. When I press 1 or 2,3 to turn off that default siren it just turns on both siren and default siren doesn't go off. Does anyone know how to fix this??

Make sure DLS is not loading before LSPDFR, otherwise it will be overridden by LSPDFR siren controls.

You need to clear the LSPDFR siren keybinding.

It's registering both the LSPDFR "J" for siren toggling and the DLS "J" for light toggling.

one question, does this work with fiveM?

Currently, there is no FiveM Compatible Version. However, I think Maybeast is open to people creating FiveM Compatible Versions.

I need help guys,after installing this,i no longer have the siren + lights activated with leftthump on my xbox controller and no longer can i initiate traffic stop with button A.

How can i get that back?!?!

question: how do I get the bots to use the DLS as well? whenever I call for backup I can hear their active siren but their lights are all off

Their lights being off is a bug with DLS, they are trying to use it but cannot properly.
Go into DLS.ini and set "AILightsControl" to false and they will work like normal again.
