I have a weird problem with ELS 8 where extra_9s, no matter which vehicle or lightbar, are glitched in one way or the other. I had a custom made Z71 Suburban which had a TA with its two middle modules as extra_9. Its emissives, though placed perfectly like others, used to light up further down and behind the TA. I srtrived to fix it but never could so I abandoned it.

 

Now, just yesterday I tried to install an another modder's vehicle and it again happened. No matter what I do, it lights up like this:

 

The modder whose vehicle it is has uploaded a video of this car and in his video, its perfectly lighting up. However, as you can see, in my case as (1) circle represents, the extra_9 module in the Whelen Edge is lighting up somewhere down and further behind than where it is supposed to. And in (2), the last amber module which is a part of extra_9, isn't lighting up at all. I have checked the vehicle in OpenIV and the modules seem to be correctly placed. I have also used default_config.ini in order to make sure that any of ELS settings may not have screwed this up but its still there. Any ideas on whats causing this?

 

I have seen other modders fiddling with v8 of ELS to get extra_9 right and apparently they did, but since neither of them cared to explain how they fixed it, I was forced to make this thread.

If I use the "Fix car" feature of SNT, and keep it pressed, the module would light up like its supposed to alongside the glitched emissive. If I tap it once, the module would light up once. If I keep it pressed the module would go on steady burn that kinda thing.

 

Though, people around here aren't too keen on helping anyone it seems. I have made several threads asking for help but no one ever replies. Seems the community has already gone to shit long ago, contrary to popular belief.

I know you made this thread a long time ago, so I don't know if this is still an issue for you, but I am too having this problem. If I find a solution, I'll be sure to let you know :)

Update: Your heirarchy needs to be set up as follows:
 

extra_9
     extra9
          extra9_L0
          extra9_L1

Note the removed underscores on the lower three. 

Tested and working :)
