Yeah, this is honestly better than I had expected from carcols editing

Have you guys seen BxBugs update posted to his slicktop? It is insanely nice! I added a lot more falloff value and it results in this:

That looks incredible! 

 

Also, I'm trying to put my file back into the game but cannot get rid of the .xml bit? :/

@ScottehBoyy make sure you change the filetype from .xml to .ymt.   Just save as carcols.ymt when you're done editing in notepad/wordpad or whatever you used to edit.

Okay just tested on a British car and it's not working.

I had this in my original post that you could add custom ones, I guess it wasn't clear enough :P

Ahh are you talking about

• Custom sirensettings can be added to the file and used.

?

Sorry, I thought that was stating that the user could edit the file and customize it (as in changing the flash patterns, etc.)!

Thank you for your hard work!

Is there any easy way to figure out which siren on a car corresponds to which lighting fixture (ie the lights in the grill are sirenX)?

British cars could have been edited with two possibilities that may be not letting you get it work. One is that they modified visualsettings to totally hide coronas. The other way was by hiding coronas by putting axis of each siren mesh below world in zmodeler3...I cant think of amother problem

 

nice

If you know which car uses which sirensetting value, you can import it in Zmodeler3 if you have it and take a look yourself.

Working with this right now but how do I tell what siren is what siren? Sorry if I'm being blind.

I'm trying to figure it out too, but it all seems very random to me. My best guess is that it goes in order, the only reason I say that is because the first siren is colored all red and the sixth siren is colored all blue :/

From what I can tell each siren has two sequence values, but I'm not sure what the difference is between the two.

if you changed the tail light sequencing would it stop the brake lights from flashing when the sirens are on too?
that would be baller

The lights go in order from siren1 through siren20. I added comments in my personal carcols just to make it easier to read.

The first siren sequencer value is not used except for rotating lights. It's basically irrelevant as most people want to use LED types lights. The sequencer value under the "flashiness" section is the one that controls the flash pattern.

Yeah just set the value to 0.

minta works as

Police slot is under police dual lightbar
police4 will work with police/sheriff
 

its all ive tried so far but looking promising, now to make some white coronas for the front (we no longer use wigwags :( )
 

I've noticed there's no settings for making lights like the reversing lights or indicators flash. Do you reckon I'd be able to cheat logic by just adding reversing light and indicator values like the headlight and taillight ones? My guess is no but any things possible

They're different for each sirensetting and most of the time they're in a fairly logical order. The lights in the lightbar usually come first, left to right.

 

disregard, accidental double post

Count from top to bottom. First siren to appear is siren1. Bugs' file has this annotated, view his carcols.
