Hello all,

 

So it's been getting on for a year now since ELS V was released, which I must say is a great mod which clearly has really had effort put into, certainly when you compare the first version of ELS for IV. However, one thing I (and possible a silent majority) are particularly frustrated with is why not a single scripter/coder/modder has been able to find out what the audio hashes are for all the GTA V sirens, which in turn can then be used within the VCF files for ELS.

 

Is it really such a difficult, time-consuming task to crack the hashes? I am in no way criticising the ELS mod or work behind it, however I am finding it quite unbearable hearing the same siren on every emergency vehicle in-game. If this isn't brought to light with the ELS team then perhaps some knowledgeable individuals and modders could give it a go at getting the other sirens working with ELS?

 

Cheers

With the way ELS is set up, there's nothing anyone except Cain can do to make multi sirens available.

Really? I thought the hashes just needed inputting into the VCF vehicle file. The ELS mod doesn't need changing, just the hashes need identifying.

The thing is, even if you manage to find the hash and use it for the firetruck main, you still have secondary sirens that will reflect that of the police sirens.  ELS needs to be updated so that it can handle sirens for multiple types of vehicles and not just the same siren for all.

No because each vehicle has its own primary and secondary siren. The warning siren is either POLICE_WARNING or AMBULANCE_WARNING, that's just how GTA is setup,. Effectively, ELS could be updated and developers could find a way to have 'Addon Sirens' but each siren file in GTA 5 has its own hash - all ELS needs to use a siren sound is its hash.

  There is a list of hashes for PoliceB, FIB, Granger, Ambulance and the firetruck, but you cannot put "0x161768E7", which is a secondary fire tone, in the VCF and have it work.  You'd have to rename it to AMBULANCE_WARNING, or POLICE_WARNING because ELS is not configured for other siren hashes.

Nope, it would work there's no reason why it wouldn't it's just a name hash. ELS doesn't need configuring to use other hashes. "0x161768E7" is not the hash anyway it's just the file name so it wouldn't work if you put that in the VCF anyway. The hashes could be something like "FIRE_MAINSIREN" (just an example) and then inputting that into the VCF it will work but we just don't know the names of the hashes except for the LSPD default sirens.
