Dash Cam Overlay, Simple and Functional 1.0.1.0

You need to make another camera view like his and this mod would be fire.

I think that functionality is well covered by DashCamV, and I'm nowhere near a good enough plugin maker to do any better than that! Intent was that you could use this as an overlay to replace DashCamV's overlay for those that want the different look/features (like the bottom indicators). This overlay should be pretty lightweight, so fps shouldn't be affected running both mods compared to just DashCamV. 

1. Is it possible to add a close option or cancel the milliseconds in the milliseconds in the timestamp? it causes the timestamp to jiggle around

2. Tried multiple ELS police car models, the bottom indicator of the plugin does not seem to match the ELS vehicle, when the lights and siren are turned on, only the lights indicator will turn green Sirens are still white

3.The numbers in the bottom right corner tried to change to other numbers, but no change

Surely this would need its own view? rather than a dashcam template over first person view? this is more like a bodycam overlay rather than dashcam as it doesn't make sense for this overlay to be on first person but maybe its just me...

Personally think this overlay is better than dashcam v....if this got turned into an actual dashcam where you cycle through views and it has its own rather than on first person this would be really good...

This overlay should appear on any view. I don't use DashCamV, but my assumption (as above) is that people who prefer the hood view could use DashCamV and just use this overlay while turning off DashCamV's. Can theirs not be turned off?

1. Added custom formatting (via INI file) in v1.0.1.0

2. I installed ELS to see what the deal was, and I can't figure out why ELS overrides the default siren noise functions. I'm not sure under what conditions ELS correctly reports the "IsSirenSilent" RPH variable, so I'm not sure how to get it to work with the overlay. For now, I've just added the ability to disable the SIREN portion of the overlay so that it can be hidden while using ELS.

3. Fixed in v1.0.1.0

ok thanks for update but why is it renamed I thought I downloaded the wrong plugin, but its jus have a totally different name and I don't know what to do with that

It seems that the wrong update file is uploaded, 1.0.1.0 is inconsistent with the ini file on github

Yep, I goofed and grabbed the wrong ZIP file. Should be fixed whenever it gets approved.

I found that when I use the F4 console to load the plugin, the time and position at the top will overlap, and I have to use the menu to adjust it to restore it but when I enter the game next time it will overlap again, I tried to modify the ini but it didn't work , almost every time you enter the game, you have to use the menu to adjust the value

Had a typo in the code that means the Coordinates value for the Y position isn't being restored. Until I get my desktop back up and running (we had a storm+power outage, screwed with.. idk what on my PC), try moving the timestamp down below the coordinates instead of moving the coordinates down. By default coordinates will keep going back to the top. I'll make a new build when I can.

Was interesting to read on this mod.  However, you have not posted in over 6 months and you have 0 rep on this site,  so I think I will pass for now.  Hopefully someone can make something like this work.

Would be an awesome mod if it worked with ELS and had a menu like the axon signal plugin where you can modify everything about the plugin in game on the fly
