How to we turn on halogen lights for a car????

 

By reading the Read me....

I still haven't found a fix for my game crashing 95% of the time on startup into the safehouse. I've tried everything I could think of, even reverting to a backup of the game and it still crashes most of the time with "GTA IV has stopped working" but sometimes it works and when it works it works great. Latest and updated scripthook files, only using dsound, installed correctly. Took out all my mods that could conflict with it and it still crashes. If I remove ELS7, it works every single time without failure

Did you try starting a new game (not sure if that would help, first thing that came to mind with "safehouse"), or removing every single mod except for ELS?

Never thought of starting a new game and re-saving it... I guess thats worth a try. More detail on that: its the first safehouse when you start the game in Dukes/Broker and it crashes about 4 seconds in. I can make it out the door of the apt. and just as I'm about to jump down the stairs...crash. As for removing mods, yes I've tried it. I've removed everything, all my script mods, ASI mods (except ELS of course), and LCPD:FR, still crashed.

I don't think this would be something overlooked too much.   Are you absolutely sure there are no keys binded by both lcpdfr & ELS 7?

 

 

**i will put a disclaimer,   that GTA may work differently due to hardware, performance levels and possibly background programs like AntiVirus or whatver.   I really hope it works for you.

 

But i had the exact same scenario as you describe.   Crashing out 2 straight times as i was walking down the stairs and toward the door.

 

I said fudge it,   looked at some ideas people put out on forums and remapped almost all the ELS keys to different ones that GTA/LCPDFR/Other Mods did not use.

 

It worked for me and i have not crashed in that way since the 2nd day ELS 7 released.

 

 

Best of luck!

I'm 102% sure that no keybindings conflict. I'm OCD about my keybindings and remapped them before I even ran v7 for the first time. I'm using zero default ELS keybindings, everything is different. Believe me I thought of that too, I've gone over it multiple times to try and find some conflict of mods that would even remotely cause a crash and didn't see anything but I can try again. Its possible I missed something

I know some people found success reinstalling from scratch and reinstalling their mods.

Shameless self-advertising : take a look at my "ELS7 Fix Center" topic (link in signature), especially points 2C & 2E, they solved the same type of crash for me.

Yup; this worked like a charm for me.  The game would crash at about three or four seconds in; before I could make it out of the Broker safehouse.  Reinstalling the game and placing my mods back in fixed the problem.

 

Try putting in the default vehicles.img file before you go with a reinstall though; if that stops the crashing then you can narrow it down to modded cars at least.

 

Also, be sure to visit DarthWound's thread.  It can be quite helpful. ^^

I love the new ELS, but I have one question :)

I've seen videos on youtube about ELS, and the pattern ID letters are S instead of E.

Can someone tell me how to do change it? :)

 

Thanks :)

The manual has it all :)

I've read every line in the manual, and can't find it :P

You can force a certain pattern, but that didn't work either.

in the ELS folder, there should be a file called defualt_config.ini or something similar open that in notepad. Look for "PMRL" and there should be something called "leds" to "strb"

The letter in front is what type of light is being used. S=Strobe; E=LED; the other one=Rotators (R maybe?). The type of light used by the car is changed in the car configuration file. That is explained in the user guide.

Thank you so much :-)

Never thought of that :P

It's actually Ctrl+M, unless you changed something. That would explain it being slower.

no actually its Ctrl+ALT+M

No it's not, you can check the .ini.You should be 100% sure when giving info out otherwise it makes no sense. It's just Ctrl+M

Does anyone know how to get the secondary lights from the generic default_config file where there are only two boxes that will flash to what they had in the other ELS's where it was three boxes and you could do the directional right and directional left. Sorry if this is confusing.
