Remember the last time you seen a thread with this title? I know, that's some 2011 throwback right there.

However, it is a problem that has come back to me...like a lost dog, I just started playing IV again, after a couple years, and I am modding again.

But when I install ELS, and ELS-enabled vehicles, ELS fails to work. I have the latest version, and I have my Trainer keys disabled, but pressing J no longer turns on ELS.

 

Anyone else with this issue? Or do I just suck.

 

_{Also I'm back.}

I'd go with the latter.

Make sure your script hook and all of them things are updated to the right version and that you have the correct C++ or whatever it is. Otherwise it'll break

Eat it McQueery.

Also, I'm pretty sure everything is all updated, and I should have the same C++ as before...maybe I need to update it, as it's been 2 years.

Scripthook was that directly from the download on here, so I'd have to assume it's all updated.

Is your _SLOTCONTROL_ File setup as thus;
 

[ AMBULANCE ]
Status = on
File = sdleramb_frdm

That's just an example I'm using. The Status must be on.

Tried that, I noticed the ELS file is a lot different from what it used to be.

So took the [ VEHICLES ] part from the old one, and added it to the new one.

It's now...
