Hey I am having some difficulties with getting the emergency lights to work on my vehicles I add. The taillights flash and head lights but that is it, im not crazy savvy with this yet i just follow steps on youtube and install videos and if it doesnt have it i dont add it lol. I followed the READ ME! in the files but still im getting now response. i used open iv for the installs and have the purple MOD folder but when it came to adding the meta folder it wouldnt let me add it just the other folders. Any help would be greatly appreciated and maybe a step by step if it isnt too much to ask although i have a feeling it is. 

PS - Bare with me im new to this whole thing. Thanks again.

When you say "meta folder" do you mean text document or actual folder?  Because you're not supposed to add in any folder.

the text document in the openiv ill copy and paste what i mean hold up one second...VEHICLES.META INSTALL IN
MODS>UPDATE>UPDATE.RPF>COMMON>DATA>LEVELS>GTA5

Alright, just wanted to be sure you were installing the correct thing.  Is this an ELS vehicle?  Did you install the ELS VCF?

yes it is an els vehicle and no i have not installed els vcf

All ELS vehicles come with the VCF. It's an XML document that is named the same thing as the vehicle.  With ELS vehicles, this is required.  The VCF needs to go into ELS --> pack_default folder.

Yea see now im not following where that folder is. Is there any way you can step by step help me and walk me through that ? haha im sorry seriously

It's really no problem!  A year ago I was in your shoes and had no clue what I was doing.

 

Go into your main GTA V directory.

 

From here, you should have an "ELS" folder.  Open it.

 

Next, you should see "pack_default" folder.  Open it.

 

Now you can drag and drop the ELS VCF there. :)

Am i draggnig the whole folder or just whats inside ? dumb question but had to ask

Just what's inside. :)

Please take a screemshot of the pack_default folder.  Also, the ELS VCF needs to be the named the exact same thing as the vehicle slot you're using.

Do you have advancedhookv.dll in your main directory?

I'm confused about what files you're referring to.  Check the ELS documentation, it'll tell you what should be in the main directory.  ELS.ini and ELS.ini go in the main directory with advancedhook.
