Heya folks,

Don't mind using ELS6/7 cars for my ELS8 as long as the lights and all that works fine, but there is this beauty:

 

'?do=embed' frameborder='0' data-embedContent>>

 

That uses a custom ELS file, and therefore does nothing other then act like a default siren (but with ELS installed, lights and such dont work)

Is there anybody with experience that can take a quick look at it and see if its convertible? Don't need ELS8 features, just trying to get the lights and such to work with ELS8.

Any help is appreciated!

have you taken the custom els files and use the VCF CONVERSION GUIDE (V7-V8) thats with els 8 to convert the file

 

Yep, took a look at it and changed as much as possible that was stating the obvious, but still no response. The vehicle itself acts like it doesn't support ELS, 'G' still pops on the siren without lights.

 

I'm just going to post the default and my modified ELS setting, and really hope someone can take a quick look at it.

Don't care about lighting positions or anything, just want to get ELS to work on this vehicle in the first place. Probably missing something, but i'm really frustrated cause the little time i have available to game i spent trying to mod/fix things, so really hope someone can take a look at it with me.

Your Coronas section has invalid property names, and is missing all the valid ones. I'll post mine at the end (I use the same vehicle)

Also, your env_light_pos is missing the Y and Z values.

Seriously, thanks for taking a look at my problem. Unfortunitely (i'm no hero at this modding scene) i copied&pasted your file and i do get ELS settings in the car now. But the lights wont come up of the car itself, only the environmental lights. And also i only press 'J' once instead of 3 times to get the lights working, don't know if thats supposed to be. This is what i mean:

Would really appreciate if you could help me get this vehicle to work, since its really a beast in my eyes. Thanks in advance, cheers

Quick update on my problem; Lights are in the right position (most of them) but they seem nonELS lights and also only work with the siren on. This is what i mean:

Hope someone can take a look at it.

That's intended behaviour, I'm used to - in vehicles such as the NOOSE, NSTOCK, and FBI - pressing it once to get into LSTG3. If you prefer pressing J thrice to get it, it you can set the activation to default, like so:

 

LstgActivationType = default

However, one thing intrigues me... You mind turning on your siren and recording it? I have a feeling I know what's going on. Edit: Didn't see the above reply.

You're using the non-ELS model with ELS. Try using the other WFT.

Goddamn it yes, before using your .ini file i tried to use the non-els version just in the case the downloads were mixed up, totally forgot to switch them back. Its working all fine now, thanks alot!
