ELS V8.5 - Lights not working

ELS V8.5 - NOT WORKING/Frozen/not functioning

 

I've a very similar problem to this here: http://www.lcpdfr.com/forums/topic/50796-els-v85-not-working-lights-stuck-on/#comment-335632

 

Basically, I have a selection of ELS V8.5 compatible cars, which I have added to a fresh install of GTA4; these police cars have frozen lights like that of the picture which should be attached. I have done every conceivable thing (since before reinstalling GTA4 a fresh, it worked absolutely fine). Things done is:

Replacing script hook, installing ELS a fresh, installing LCPDFR Before/after/not at all; fresh GTA4 directory, Slot Control showing all vehicles as 'ON' (i.e. mapped correctly)  -- nothing is working. For all intensive purposes, my ELS is frozen/not working. When I press CTRL M no dash board comes up, and not sign of ELS, since CTRL Backspace shows nothing. The weird thing is that when I press 'G', the sirens activate. GTA 4 doesn't crash, runs very stable, but ELS cannot be switched on. 

 

Any support leads would help, I am a novice to this site which means I can't find any other similar problem to mine, but have done everything I/few others can think of. Please help me!!

 

I really will appreciate any help on this - thank you in advance.

APPEAL FOR HELP!!

 

I've tried everything now. It isn't working. Fresh install of ELS, GTA 4 etc. What must be the problem? I don't think it is ELS, but need YOUR help LCPDFR forum. Thank you 

​Could you make a screenshot of your GTA 4 Folder?

Did you name the ini files correctly in the slotcontrol.ini? (Inside the ELS-Folder)

Hi! I think I have a solution.

 All of the YouTubers(people) do this, they copy-ing all the files from the .rar archive, I don't know how their ELS v8.5 works then. But this method didin't worked for me. So see my picture "1.step". I will explain it.

1. step: Select all files inside .rar file, except "common". Then extract/drag them to you GTA 4 root folder. (see my photo "1. step")

2. step: <For this step you need original GTA 4 "common" folder, that came with your GTA!!! You can download it on internet. If you dont have it.> Open "common" folder that is located in .rar file. And then open the original "common" folder, that is located in your GTA 4 root folder.  (see my photo "2. step")

3. step: Drag and drop "visualSettings.dat"  to "Grand Theft Auto IV/common/data". 

 

It's done! I hope I helped you :)     (it's worked for me, I'm sorry for screenshots of the game 'cause it's corrupted)

 If it still don't works, I'm sorry :(      (sorry for my english if it's bad)

I'm not too sure how that would help, as your still placing a unneeded file in the same place, If you have a ENB, you don't need that file.

You can watch a tutorial on how to setup ELS > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VdxKiozw5KQ. Also the letter 'G' is the default GTA IV control to activate the sirens.

Also have you tried any other versions of ELS? 

Are you 100% sure that the Police Vehicles are ELS enabled?

===========================================================

> Download ELS v8.51 : http://www.lcpdfr.com/files/file/2985-emergency-lighting-system-iv/

> Open the ELS download Rar/Zip.

> Place all ELS files and folders into your GTA IV Directory Folder.

DO NOTHING ELSE!

Now right click LaunchGTAIV.exe and run as Administrator.

GTA IV is very unpredictable, installing it one time may work, installing it another may not.

To the OP. I installed ELS 8.51 and I now have the problem you have. Idk if there is something wrong with it or what. But just use ELS V8.5.

You can use the files below.

Just be sure to keep your ELS Folder.

ELS.asi

ELS.ini

default_config.ini

_SLOTCONTROL.ini

ELS.ini

ELS.asi

default_config.ini

_SLOTCONTROL.ini

If you need help with ANYTHING please feel free to contact me.
