Dynamic Lighting System v2.0.0

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.

@cp702 for developing the amazing SirenSetting Limit Adjuster which will enable plenty of different carcols for numerous vehicles in GTA V.

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

Really loving this mod! Are there any mods that make the lights brighter and increase the lighting effect on the environment around your vehicle? The equivalents for ELS's better radiance and better els reflections? Thanks

Any visualsettings.dat mod will work the same with DLS as it does for any other vehicle model. They all use the same shaders, it's just different methods of turning the lights on and off. This is the particular one I use: https://www.modding-forum.com/downloads/file/120-improved-emergency-lights/

As for the environmental lighting, you have to adjust that in each individual config, but it can be edited by messing with the falloff and intensity values.

Is there controller support for DLS or is it strictly key board at this point?

I assume you have to add the controller functions into the ini file, similar to how ELS has their ini set up? or do you just have to change the preset input to whatever the controller buttons would be? First time actually using a DLS pack and still learning how to use it properly

Never mind i see it now. I was using V1.4 since the pack i was using is what version it was formatted on. I see now in the 2.0.0.2 version that there's controller inputs. My mistake.

Is there a way to make DLS v2 control AI lighting? I can't get my AI to use cars as configured in DLS. I'm new to DLS, just switched over from ELS last night. Thanks!!

It does work to control lighting on AI vehicles, you need to set up the appropriate triggers in the config for different modes and specify a default mode for when the sirens are turned on.

I get that, do you maybe know of a guide anywhere I could use to set this up? Coming from ELS it's a little more involved, I don't mind I just want to figure it out!

This might seem like a stupid question (and it's probably been asked before, but I can't find the answer), but can ELS cars be used with this plugin without having to install the actual ELS script? The reason I'm asking is because I have several ELS packs (of which I doubt there are proper non-ELS replacements for as I can't find them) I'd love to use alongside my non-ELS vehicles, but ELS now has a bug that AI non-ELS cars spawn in without extras even if you define them on the agency.xml, vehicles.meta, or in Ultimate Backup's configuration XML files.

In the current public release this is not possible, but it is possible with the newest version which is currently undergoing testing. You can access this by joining the DLS Discord server, and it should be published soon.

Hello, I have a problem with DLS. I started the game with RagePluginHook and I couldn't turn on lights and sirens with DLS keys, so I tried use "LoadPlugin DLS.dll" and it wrote "[ERROR] Failed to remove patch extra repair". Do you know how to fix it?

I am so tempted to upgrade my DLS 1.4 to V2 but until I can find some DLS V2 config pack with all the addon vehicles from EUPFR UE I am stuck. Sadly since the release of V2. Many of the addon lore vehicles have no V2 files.
