Dynamic Lighting System 2.0.0.2

Hey, so I have specific sirens for certain vehicles, for example, the older, retro sounding sirens for the old LSPD Stanier and Alamo, while there are more modern sirens for the LSPD vehicles with newer, LED style light bars. The AI who utilize the older LSPD vehicles use the siren that I put on my lore Ambulance, and all of the add on lore friendly vehicles I use have the police yelp, instead of the yelp I want the vehicles to use. I was wondering if this is has to do with with the Audio/Config/REL file, or if this is something that I need to change in DLS itself. I really would like to hear the AI in my game use the Ambulance yelp I intended it to have, as well as have my older LSPD vehicles use the siren I created for them. Thank you!

I encountered a little issue regarding the UI:

Above the indicators for TA state (left, div, right, warn), there are 3, 4, 5 or 6 small bars. Checking the "Templates" folder I noticed there are two versions of any file, e.g. "4_l_off.png" and "4_l_on.png", "4_cl_off.png" and "4_cl_on.png" and so on. The off-files show a small grey bar while the on-files show a small yellow bar.

It seems to me the bars in the UI should flash as well in the rhyth of the TA ... but they don't. The TA indicators are working properly.

How can I get the small bars to work?

The above mentioned png-files aren't covered in the "UI-HOWTO.txt" or any other of the help files in "DOCUMENTATION".

EDIT: Currently I'm only testing with vanilla models and the included POLICE.xml

Is alley lights and scene lights working?

IDK why but whenever I honk the horn or use the warning siren my game just starts to lag.

I cannot mute the siren sound in any light stages even with the DLS configured vehicles (tested with 11John11's and Lt.Caine EMS packs).

The vanilla horn key also doesnt not work with DLS configured vehicles I guess? I can only use the DLS's key for the horn.

I hope I can find some solutions to these issues (well, the 2nd is pretty easy on my end), so I can replace the ELS with this.

Edit: About the siren issue; the mod actually doesnt put the siren in every stage. When I change the siren mode with D1-D5, the mod runs its own siren on top of the already running siren which I don't know if another mod or game cauising it.

Edit2: Turns out I need to run the DLS after the LSPDFR in-game with the RPH's F4 console. So, do not load the DLS on start-up for anyone having the same issue.

How do I use the UI on DLS? It says to press Z and when I do that, nothing shows up. Also, how do I check my DLS button maps from keyboard to my controller?

When I get off the bus after turning on all the warning lights, some of the warning lights don't work. Can it be solved?

Is there a way to remove controller mapping for DLS? It's interfering with my ability to handle calls and I don't see anything that tells me how to disable it for controller, but keep it on keyboard

i need help, so my game crashes at the third stage of DLS for some reason for instance, i press "J" two times and at the third time it crashes, even after i changed the toggle siren key in the keys.ini file to none and loading LSPDFR before DLS. any fix?

is it maybe because DLS doesn't support the car?

just realized siren limit adjuster was causing the issue not DLS... any fix?

what are some advantages of ELS compared to DLS?

Shouldn't your question be the other way round? 😉

ELS: only available with specific cars (ELS enabled), probably allows more in-depth options for lightings, complicated mechanic

DLS: available for any car (including vanilla), simple and nice options for lights and sirens, "medium hard" to learn (if you're in the slightest bit into coding: easy)

It's up to you. Both of them have their pro's and con's.

I dont think so

I'm not sure about more in-depth options

I like the DLS...

My question is.. how can I use a controller to use the lightbars instead of using the keyboard? I like to control my lightbar through my control for easy access when pursuit or traffic stops.

Don't use Windows Compatibility mode

DLSv2 is in active development.
 

With the new update, we are focusing on making Dynamic Lighting System truly dynamic. We have gone away with the hard-coded concept of light stages and predefined features, allowing vehicle developers and enthusiasts to freely develop a vehicle's feature set within DLSv2, while also making their setup easier.
 

One of the major features in DLSv2 is the use of triggers that can activate specific lighting modes automatically, with a negligible performance penalty. As a quick tease, here's a sample for @PNWParksFan's automatic TA using DLSv2's Road Position trigger.
 

Keep in mind DLSv2 is still under heavy development and a lot may still change between now and the release. No ETAs as of now, it will be done when its done.

Wondering this too. I like to use different sirens for the different agencies I have in game. I don't see any good way to do this without messing with vehicles.meta audionamehashes, but changing those also changes the engine sounds for the vehicles. I wish DLS handled AI sirens similar to ELS by pulling from the configs. Could this be considered for DLS 2.0, or is there a way to do it now that I'm missing?

First time seeing this. Today I found out that ELS with a couple changes to the vehicle VCFs you make a basic siren controller for non-ELS vehicles but this is cool! I may try my hand at this if I want more options in the future

We need you to drop V2!

If I wanted to change the horn keybind to a side button on my mouse, how exactly would I do that?

Does anyone know of a dls config for all of the lore motorcycles? The ones for EUPFR pack, the back motorcycle bottom lights glow all the time in DLS even thoough all of the other DLS lights on the bikes work just fine.

Does anyone know if DLS works on the current patch? 

Better radiance works really good with this.

Edited June 29, 20241 yr by witchy

I don't see a fully descript changelog in the readme. Is it possible it was just left out? Or would i be able to find a more detailed changelog for v2 somewhere else?

Is there anyway to convert DLS 1 configs to V2?
