Emergency Strobes - Now with Wig-Wag Lights! 4.6.0

3 hours ago, Pumpk1in said:

Hey @alexguirre, I just noticed a strange bug with Bxbugs123 CVPI.
If I spawn the car, then use strobes : no problems. If I play with a trainer to spawn EXTRA parts of the car, no problem, the strobes works correctly.

BUT if I remove the EXTRA part 3, the entire front light textures diseapears when the strobe is off. If I add it again, the strobes works correctly. If I remove it, bug again.

Its strange because its only when removing the part 3. (the two search lights on the doors). Its also strange because if the car is spawned WITHOUT this part 3, the strobes are working correctly. But If you add or remove an EXTRA, its over for you (except if you add the part 3) :p

Bug with your plugin, or with the Bxbugs model ?

<snip>

I saw this happen before, in some modded vehicles(I don't remember if they were all by BxBugs) and some default vehicles(but these only when they are very damaged).

I don't know anything about vehicle modeling so I don't know what differences can have the vehicles to make the headlights disappear. The way this mod works is breaking and repairing the headlights, until I found a way to turn on/off each headlights separately that bug will keep happening.

Thanks for the anwser :p

I'll keep using the extra part 3 on the car ;)

That's a crash due to some protection added in one of latest updates of GTA V that the developers of RPH weren't aware of when they released the RPH update, this should be fixed in the next version of RPH.

 

I see. But it only seems to crash while using your mod. Is there something I could do for a temp fix? I'm using gta617 and the latest rage, alot of people use this combination with your mod and don't seem to have issues.. seems to be just me getting these issues. 

I reinstalled with a new download and it doesn't seem to help. 

Really love your mod man, great work. Any help if possible would be extremely appreciated!

I don't know a fix for it. The crashes even happened to me before while developing some features of my other mods but then when my testers tried them they didn't have the crashes, and after some time I stop having those crashes, no idea how.

So I seem to have fixed it... I installed another visual overhaul mod and that seemed to solve the issue. My hypothesis is that the visualsetting combined with the brightness multiplier makes GTA recall a brightness value that is too high?

are you saying that I should install another visual mod on top of this one?

I never had a single problem with this mod until 678. Everything else works perfectly. I have Radiance V installed as I did before. But I get crashes periodically Could be 10mins could be 2 hours) and its always related to a strobes mod. Not sure If there is a suggestion out there that can correct this. Just seems weird to me and its one of my favourite modifications.

To clarify. To fix the issue I reinstalled a clean version of "visualsettings.dat". Some mods will already alter the brightness in this file to some ridiculously high level (they give you ENB / reshade to compensate and darken everything) My hypothesis (don't actually know the lighting system) is that the visualsetting brightness is multiplied increased by Emergency Strobes. This therefore returns a value beyond the limits of gta's lighting engine so therefore crashes. Again, completely guessing, not sure.

So if you have problems I suggest installing a clean vanilla visualsettings.dat and see if that fixes the issue. For me it did, might be the lighting maximum like I thought, or maybe its something else.

Anyways hope you get it fixed one way or another

Thanks for your reply. I was thinking today about clearing to the vanilla Visualsettings.dat version. Problem being Radiance V is so damn nice looking for LED's on most of my cop cars. Its tough one to choose, vanilla then strobes with less led efficiency, OR better led's with better visual and no strobes. I know Alex is off injured and taking a break but hopefully when he is better this can be revisited, reprogrammed and figured out so we can have the best of all the worlds combined, because, you know, I'm consumer greedy ;)

Not really sure about the brightness limit, while testing the mod I increased the brightness to a ridiculous value, so bright that all the screen was white when I had the strobes on.

When did I say that I was injured?  I have been working on my unreleased mods. And like I stated before, most likely those crashes are due to some anti-modding protection and its beyond me, hopefully it will be fixed soon by the RPH devs.

My bad I thought I read somewhere you were taking some time away due to an injury. I apologise if I am mistaken. Rockstar and there incessant anti-modding needs. Hopefully RPH can sort it soon. I love your mod.

Crashing issues here too with the latest RAGE hook and 678 game update.

RPH log shows:

[4/9/2016 8:33:34 PM.894] Emergency Strobes: WARNING! Plugin "Emergency Strobes" was terminated because it caused the game to freeze (Freeze was caused by game fiber: StrobedVehiclesPool::Controller() Fiber).
[4/9/2016 8:33:34 PM.895] Emergency Strobes: Stack trace of game fiber "StrobedVehiclesPool::Controller() Fiber" in plugin "Emergency Strobes" at the time of termination:

[4/9/2016 8:33:45 PM.115] Could not unload plugin. Error while unloading appdomain. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131015)

Realize its probably an issue with RPH, but thought I'd post the log snippet anyway.

Hey there Alex,

Outstanding job, so impressed just wondering would it be possible for you to convert this to Scripthook, I find the whole Ragehook software complex and laborious, it works as intended, I just prefer Scripthook for it's ease of use.

Cheers

I can't disable strobes in towtruck, why?

This mod seems to be resource intensive. Once I activated it I started seeing hiccups that occur every few seconds during gameplay.  The game would sort of almost freeze just for a second and that would happen about every few seconds.  I went through and deactivated each plugin one by one and this was the culprit.  It makes the game stutter for some reason.

In the .ini, where it says "Excluded AI models =", put there the vehicle models you don't want to have strobes, for the towtrucks it should be "Excluded AI models = towtruck,towtruck2"

@alexguirre Hey mate. Any word on anything new about the mod? RPH hasn't really done anything new too recently. Did not know if the mod is still causing issues or just a select few?

I haven't made any progress, I didn't have much time and I prefered to work on soke other things. 

I don't have any stutter issues myself what makes it more difficult to develop and more time wasting.

I just installed and it worked for me. Make sure you load the plugin through RagePluginHook before starting game or it may not load.

do you place it in the LSPDFR folder or juz the main folder with all the GTA V files?

You drop the "Emergency Strobes.dll" and "Emergency Strobes.ini" files inside the Plugins folder. Do not put them in the LSPDFR folder. 

Rockstar Games > Grand Theft Auto V > Plugins

Then enable it in RagePluginHook settings before starting the game.

In some modded cars the dash lights flash along with the headlights, is there anything I can do to fix this?

No, that's because to light up the dashboard they used the same lights that the headlights use.
