Video tutorial on how to correctly setup ELS 7 with ELS 6 vehicles. More detail on how to setup .ini file  and individual default_config. GOGOGOGO

Awesome! @cp702 are the extras different in any way?

Quick rundown of what I can remember:

* SECL has new modes: ROTA (rotators, like ELS 6's ELS-H) [set extras 7,8,9 up like for ELS-H], MARQ (marquee, think "text on the back of the lightbar", like some highway patrol cars have to direct traffic) [each extra is a separate message], and LEDS/STRB (which treat secondary lighting as true secondary lighting, with the intent of extras 7 and 9 being [symmetric] normal lighting [i.e. not arrowsticks], with extra 8 flashing randomly and out of sync) [use extras 7 and 9 for a fairly symmetric pattern, and don't use 8 unless you *want* an out of sync light (which you might)].

* WRNL has a new possible mode: TKDN. In this mode, extra 5 would be headlights (which will end up flashing in sync like in a strobe mod, instead of flashing wig-wag style), and extra 6 would be takedown lights (for example, you might map 6 to a spotlight).

But seriously, read the guide. It even has pictures (on page 14).

Just look through the info file. 

 

Seriously have you seen how must you have to read through a video would be a lot easier to follow.

 

Rather use v6 sorry but nice work anyway LtCaine ....

Keeps on crashing right on startup. Can't even get out the door of the apartment.

 

EDIT: Got it working. I re-downloaded and re-installed ELS V7.

Not really. A video is annoying to play, and requires you to turn sound on (often), and you can't use it for quick reference or read it at your own pace. Text+pictures > video.

I did read the guide but it was pretty confusing for me, I was just wondering do we name the extras anything different to get them to work?

I can get in game with it but the script will not work. Something is up cause on my light bar  some lights are on steady (like previous els versions did like on AI cars). NB said that it was fixed. So something is up...

Did you guys even test it out properly before even releasing it ??, Because a lot of people are having issues plus when you turn the primary lights on the secondary lights come on first so then you have to cycle through just to get the primary lights whats all that about...

Before everyone starts flaming each other please relax! This was posted on the comments page of the ELS V7 download...

 

 

YOU MUST TURN IT ON IN THE ELS CONFIG SETTINGS!!!

OPEN THE ELS FILE IN NOTEPAD AND SCROLL DOWN

IT'LL SAY POLICE, POLICE2, NOOSE ECT. BUT IT'S OFF BY DEFAULT

CHANGE "OFF" TO "ON"  (NO QUOTES) 

THEN GO BACK TO GTA AND PRESS CRLT + M TO SET IT UP ON YOUR VEHICLE OF CHOICE

I figured it out...finally you have to turn everything on in the els folder too in the default config file ini

I think this supports with ELS V6 cars. right?

 Yes, it does.

Why yes, we did test this. A lot. The secondaries coming on first is by design (lighting stages); press Alt+J to cycle backwards through light stages (which will go straight to PRML). The cars apparently all have ELS set to off in the default config, so you need to change that.

Also, for people with crashes: What ASI loader do you use? Tester authentication meant we all tested with dsound (that I know of).

Wow. Only have been involved in this community for a couple of months, but I have felt the effects of Caine and his marvelous work. A HUGE THANKS to him and everybody that has helped this development. Can't wait to try this.

I think the crashes were caused by not having everything on in the default config ini in the els folder that's what fixed the crashes for me anyways..i was going ape shit

How do you get it to work some reason its not working for me?

People need to be patient and READ everything. Don't freak out right away. This mod wouldn't have been released if it wasn't ready to.
