Discord Server for pre-release versions, bug reporting, and other ways to talk with people interested in DLS!
GitHub Repository for access to DLS's source code.
Youtube Playlist to check some stuff that was done with DLS.

Welcome to Dynamic Lighting System, a full-fledged light control system that allows for in-depth control of the vehicle's lighting system.

REQUIREMENTS

RagePluginHook version .78+
(Recommended) SirenSetting Limit Adjuster

OVERVIEW OF FEATURES

Multiple custom stages for non-ELS vehicles without taking up the vehicle's extras;
Fully setup and customizable siren control with configurable and add-on sirens;
Ability to create numerous additional features like SCAN, Blackout, Steady Burn...;
Easy to set up for new vehicles (without changes to the model itself or the default .meta files);
A lot more...

DO YOU HAVE PROBLEMS WITH DLS?

Read all documentation included with DLS and verify any custom XMLs you made to make sure you haven't made a mistake while editing/creating configurations.
If still giving errors, post it there or on my Discord Server or as an issue on the GitHub repository.

DLS IS OPEN-SOURCE!

DLS is and will always be an open-source project and nothing around it will be behind a paywall.
If you're someone with C# experience or programming experience in general and feel like contributing to DLS the help would be surely appreciated.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

DLS is not compatible with ELS as of release and there are no plans to support them.
All vehicle configuration is set up in an external .xml file and allows for vehicle developers to still share the vehicle as functional non-ELS vehicles with all regular features.
DLS is still in active development and future features are already planned.
Do not post questions as Reviews as I'll not be able to answer it properly that way.

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 perfor

It seems that none of my 1.41 DLS lights work at all with this new version. All my vehicles are dead. It says at the bottom of the first page that V1 configs do not work...bummer. I have to many vehicles I use in EUPFR to be willing to upgrade so I do not think this V2 will work for me unless a good deal of vehicles get updated configs. Thats a big bummer.

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.

WOAH! IF THIS IS WHAT I THINK IT IS THEN IT'S AMAZING.... I ALWAYS WANTED THIS!!
Correct me if I am wrong but are we for the first time.... getting to the point where the sirens won't affect the opposite lane of the traffic?? OMG I am so excited for it, GODDDAMN this is amazing!!!!

It also doesn‘t have SirenControlNonDLS like option that turned all non-dls/els vehicles (without config) to DLS/ELS. This is very sad. This means I can‘t use it unless someone makes a config file for me that works (common like NonELS to ELS config file) on all 300+ emergency vehicles I have.

I am sad now, my day has been ruined lol (cuz how excited I was when I saw it lol). But I hope devs will add this 🙂

I am sure your not the only one who feels this way, probably a LOT of us. Redoing all the cars we use would take weeks/months with this new method that its really not worth it. I totally like the new features but comes at a huge cost.

We can still hold on to DLS v1 while working on configs for v2; it'll definitely take quite some time, but it doesn't have to be all at once.

update advancedhookv.dll from the els download page

dls and els can be in game at the same time, they just can't be used on the same vehicle

Bravo! I love it. The lights look so much better than ELS and the realism is noticed. Complete control of your lighting system. DLS is a dream come true!

you need a custom config for DLSv2

DLSv1 will allow non-DLS (vanilla lighting) vehicles to be used with DLS so long as you have SirenControlNonDLS set to true.

Would there ever be a way to use this in FiveM or a FiveM version of this mod?

It's too bad not many devs are focusing on making cars that support this mod. It works really well with the compatible vehicles out there, but only a few are available.
