Scripthook.dll can be thought of as providing an API. SHDN gives an API, but for .NET scripts (the ones that end in .cs, .vb, .net, or .net.dll and go in the scripts folder). ELS is a C++ script, so only needs an ASI loader and Scripthook, not SHDN.

There's no instability with SHDN. ELS doesn't need or conflict with SHDN.

In that case, AdvancedHook.dll is only used for LCPDFR. Summary of what things do: * ASI loader (dsound.dll or xlive.dll) - This is absolutely necessary. It is what actually loads the mods when the game runs. If you notice, both DLLs are things that GTA IV would be loading under normal circumstances anyway (dsound = DirectX sound, xlive = GfWL). The ASI loader scans the game's root directory looking for ASI files (which are really renamed DLLs), and loads them (somehow, not sure how) * Scripthook.dll - This is a library, designed to provide utility functions for scripts. Without it, modders would need to directly deal with memory locations; with it, there's actually an API to mod the game. This is what you need for ASI mods, which are renamed DLLs, typically written in C++, that do things like directly play around in game memory. Now: * ScriptHookDotNet.asi - This is an ASI mod, but what it does is sort of a combination of ASI loader and Scripthook, this time for .NET code. It actually manages the scripts it runs, and can handle many crashes from them, stop and restart them, etc. It also provides an API. That's what you need for things in the scripts folder. * AdvancedHook.dll - A library like Scripthook.dll, this time written by LMS and used for LCPDFR.

AdvancedHook.dll is LMS's creation, and is needed for LCPDFR. It might be needed for other G17 scripts (indicator and ALM), but I don't know. It isn't needed for any non-G17 scripts.

You can also set it to disable secondaries at stage 3 (read the guide for how).

I tested emerg1-7 (in the original form of police5-9) and they worked for me.

police, police2, noose, polpatriot, fbi, pstockade, nstockade EFLC adds police3, police4, policeb. You can also add those yourself to IV.

Try all lowercase: drct.

You have "Type = drct"?

In the car's config file (which defaults to default_config, yes).

Change the SECL mode to DRCT.

Yes, they are.

Page 8 of the guide:

EFLC already seems to have this flag set. Maybe that's why people have found it to be more stable?

The issue with that idea is that WRNL only contains 2 extras, while PRML contains 4. Two extras severely restricts the variety of patterns you can use (the way the script works, each light is part of an extra, and all the lights in the same extra turn on and off at the same time).

It's actually Ctrl+M, unless you changed something. That would explain it being slower.

OTOH, modelers will probably be expected to get the coordinates set up right, which takes work.

With things like TLC: Discovery Communications runs a lot of shows. Their highest-rated show, by far, is Deadliest Catch - not, say, Mythbusters or anything. TLC pulls in massive ratings. Science shows can require an executive producer to put his career on the line, calling out every favor anyone ever owed him, to get put into production. Since Discovery is publicly traded, they are legally required to seek to maximize shareholder profit. So, TLC wins, science loses.

Yeah, that's actually pretty much the whole impact of the lighting type - it changes what sorts of patterns are offered. Glad to hear you like the mod!
