I absolutely love @RobertTM's LSMPD pack - but I do have one pretty big issue with it. It doesn't seem to want to cooperate with Natural Vision Remastered too well. Basically my issue is that if I install the provided files, the cars will work like they are supposed to - but the lens flares in my game will be absolutely ridiculous taking up the entire screen during night-time. To fix this issue, I install the optional add-on that comes with NVR which removes vehicle coronas. This solves the lens-flare issue, but creates another problem with the LSMPD vehicles, because once I install that add-on, the lightbars stop working on the LSMPD vehicles. Some of the lights on the lightbars still rotate and light up while the ones in the middle of the lightbar either don't rotate or don't light up at all. Any idea how I can make both NVR and this pack run properly at the same time? The NVR add-on is an automatic OpenIV install package, so I don't know what files it actually changes, which doesn't exactly help. Does anyone know how to solve this issue?

Really interesting, try installing the regular bright version of Radiance V, that's what I use with no issue. The problem with the lightbar after installing the corona fix is that it overwrites the carcols file, which is what has the custom lighting settings for my pack, which there isn't really much of a simple fix for since it would have to be manually done.

I already have the regular version of Radiance V. Do you happen to know what exact lines of code your vehicle pack uses? I find the carcols file extremely difficult to navigate through, but I'm guessing that I can use the NVR carcols file and then add the code from your carcols file to it? I just don't know where to look for the specific segment I would have to copy to the NVR carcols file.

It's the sirensetting 13 code, it should work fine if you transfer it to the NVR file.

I might've done this entirely wrong as I honestly have no clue how to properly navigate through these documents, but I believe I copied everything related to the word "siren" from your carcols file and placed it instead of whatever the NVR file had with that same word. However, when I load up the game with this new edited carcols file, the lensflares are still gone like they should be - but I still have the issue with the lightbars not working correctly 😕 

 

Edit: I'm an idiot and installed it in the wrong place. But after installing the edited file properly, the lensflares return to being ridiculously large, but the lightbars work 😕

Damn I'm not sure how to fix that then... I've never encountered an issue like that before 😕

I'll just have to live with it I guess. Thanks for trying to help me fix the issue though. I appreciate it!
