Great explanation, papa

This is a great way to explain it to people who might be considering the switch. It helped me to decide to switch to DLS this latest go around in my game.

Quick summary of my take on the 3 lighting systems for GTA V. (ELS, ELS Hybrid, DLS). I posted this on my Discord a few months ago and people seem to understand the difference between the 3 lighting systems used for LSPDFR (I do not play FiveM so I have no knowledge with those) so they have a better understanding on how and what the different types of lighting are used for gaming. From the San Andreas days of Emergency Lighting Mod (ELM) to IV with ELS to V with ELS, to ELS Hybrid to DLS, I have seen and used it all. Recently, I have done a convert of my game and development work to DLS from ELS. I enjoy ELS, but I enjoy DLS more as I can be more creative with patterns and lighting. So let's break down and give a short, sweet, simple run down of what you see people creating now. Lastly, don't try and take credit for this list, it's sad I have to say that but please credit where it's due if you were to use this list.


Emergency Lighting System (ELS)
Pros
Simplicity (Very new user friendly)
Config lighting stages easily / change patterns
Largest vehicle pool due to age
Cons
Limited on lighting
"Floaters" if want to use lights on moving vehicle parts (Doors, Trunk, Compartment Doors)
Limited pattern creations
No further development
12 Extras only. (Realistically, 10 is what most devs use)

Emergency Lighting System Hybrid (ELS + Non ELS)
Pros
Custom lighting config / patterns
Large variety of extras can be used (TA, Flood, Cruise)
Easily adaptable to ELS controls
32 sirens + 12 extras can be used to create
Cons
Stage 3 lighting only
Cannot change lighting patterns
Limited lighting controls
No further development (Due to it being ELS controlled)

Dynamic Lighting System (DLS)
Pros
ELS on crack.
Large variety of what lights can do (Stages, TA, Alley, Cruise, Brake Override, Patterns, Sync System, etc)
Vehicles become advanced with lighting controls (Multiple vehicles can run off 1 XML)
Cons
Lengthy XML creation / edits (Not new user friendly unlike ELS)
Compatible with ELS but must disable extra patch in the dls.ini to work
Potential crashing issues when using both ELS and DLS
Majority of LSPDFR users use ELS
Restricted to 32 sirens only
AI vehicles can ONLY use police audio hash to enable sirens.
Very slow development / updates

I know I have missed stuff or maybe a few things were updated since I created this back in April 2026 but still holds general true and ideal for people to understand. Please feel free to post any questions / comments / concerns as I am willing to be assist the best I can with this topic.

If this is in the wrong section, apologizes!

Happy modding folks!

My favorite spot is the gas station on Senora Freeway. The is a froup of bushes right by the exit that hides vehicles from crown vics all the way to Tahoes and give you great view of both lanes of southbound traffic. I'll frequently get speeders going 70-75 mph.

Instructions weren't clear enough, Dick got stuck in the fan again.

Well then don't download the Chargers, and wait till' someone releases a ''ELS Slicktop crownvic or a ELS Slicktop 2013 Explorer''

This thread will be dedicated to let you guys see my progress modeling a 2012 Expedition.
 
To start off, I have just finished the bodyshell (most of it):

Talk to the principal at school. This is a extremely serious matter with potential legal consequences. 

Sometimes I wonder if there is a point to peoples threads. 

Disappointments?
 
Rockstar delaying GTA V for PC from April until May.

To make this as close to a PPV Tahoe I suggesr deleting all the badges, side fenders or whatever those are called on trhe doors and remove the roof rack it would make it look ALOT better in my perspective

That is damn good looking...now I want one lol.

Has anyone else heard of this game? If you're a fan of The Forest, Rust or DayZ, I think you're in for a treat. Stranded Deep is a hardcore survival game in early access with a focus on crafting, building and surviving. The only enemy is mother nature herself.
 
Your private jet has gone down somewhere in the Pacific Ocean and you're now stuck on a flimsy life-raft surrounded by sharks. Get to shore, craft some makeshift tools, spear some crabs and survive.
 
Dragging plays a huge part in the crafting and building elements, as all objects must be placed on the floor next to each other in order for crafting/building to work. You can also drag dead sharks or fish ashore and move fallen trees to a desired area before chopping them apart.
 
Multiplayer and co-op are coming soon along with many, many other features. While I'm not a huge fan of early access games, this one seems quite promising. Even with the limited content in the game currently, there's still enough to do to keep you entertained for hours. I just picked it up a few hours ago and I played for roughly two and a half hours before I ended up dying to a poisonous sea urchin. The game is seriously intense, especially when jumping off your raft into the depths below. You just don't know if what you're diving into is a shark feeding frenzy or not.
 
Stranded Deep is currently $14.99 on Steam, I'd say go pick it up if you're a fan of survival games. 
 

Hmmm....Illuminati Confirmed.

I smell a troll. A sweaty troll.
