Appreciate the kind words, thanks man.

Hey idk if anyone still looks at this WIP thread but I have some bad but not as bad as it seems news. I thought about resuming BEL and releasing it soon but upon looking through my computer I am realizing I have accidentally deleted my BEL and BAL files. I have found the carcols and the carvariations in the groupchat which I had for me and the testers. It appears to have everything up to the rotators and the firetruck + ambulance patterns. I'm not sure what is missing and what I need to redo. I'm hoping I will get back to working on it. As for BAL, the files for that are completely gone. But with the carvariations.ymt being unencrypted I'd be able to make the mod much more accurate as per what color the turn signals are but I'd have to go though each and every car. I may do this but it would take a lot of time and motivation. But don't worry, I haven't lost my edge. I have been doing work for a FiveM server called American Dream RP. I make light patterns for specific vehicles and I deal with the addon vehicles for the server. If you care look at these videos to see some of my work. None of these are using ELS in any way, FYI. If you have carcols work needed for your server or for any other purpose, please message me on discord. straitdill#3531

So does this mean they're gonna make OpenIV not work for the people who didn't uninstall it?

Some of you might be wondering where the news on the update(s)/releases for my mods have been, since it's been over a month since the last time I've posted on this thread. I've been gone because, honestly, I've lost interest in GTA V LSPDFR. Which in turn has caused me to lose interest in my mods. But don't worry, everything will be released, can't say when, but they will. And if anyone's wondering, my interests have shifted over to Ghost Recon Wildlands, BeamNG (I'm returning to it, I played it around 2013 or 2014, I dont remember) and Battlefield 4 (the trial version lol haven't actually bought it yet), and if you're wanting to add me on any of those my username is straitdill. FYI, I use uplay for GRW, and Origin for BF4.

Is it possible to render footage from the Rockstar Editor at higher resolutions like 4K? It seems like the default is 1080p.

As you guys may have seen, I am now part of the development team of "Los Santos Rescue Division" which I am creating carcols patterns for. I am excited to help with this mod, you guys can check out the thread for the mod here! Thanks to @Fenix2525WOT for including me in the development of the mod, I have high hopes for it.

Up late in the studio working on B.E.L. 2.8 for u guys MAJOR 🔑 bless up

Just uploaded a mod that's a little different for me.

Sorry I haven't been posting in here for a while, I recently ordered a gaming laptop and I'm waiting for it to be delivered and set up, then I will resume my progress.

This video better shows the turn signals and middle brake light with BAL.

New video showing B.E.L. and BAL. This video is more of just driving than anything, but the only way for me to efficiently show the turn signals is to just have people move over. As you may see, some cars don't have turn signals with coronas yet, they will be accounted for. Also when I use the brakes you'll see that the middle taillight has a corona. The B.E.L. part of this video is just the rotary lights. Also sorry if BAL is looking kind of disappointing lol, it's not supposed to be a game changer like B.E.L., it just fixes a few things that bug me and probably a few other people. Both of these will probably be released the same day. Happy Valentine's Day!

I found one, and if anyone else is looking for one, you can download it here: https://github.com/drdaxxy/gta5fov/releases

BAL is going to stand for better automotive lighting. What it will do is add coronas for rear and front indicators, increase the falloff distance of the light that protrudes from them and brake lights, and add a corona for the middle brake light. You're probably thinking that this is very much like what Bxbugs123 included with his Dodge Charger 1.4RX, and I'm not going to lie, it is, and I got the idea for this mod when using that. I'm trying to not use any of the same values, lines of text, etc. as him so there will be no issues concerning plagiarism. And just to be safe, I'll send him some lines of text from the mod (once it's ready for release) and see if everything is alright with them. Unfortunately there are going to be some limitations with this mod. Since every vehicle is different, some having red rear indicators, some having amber, it would be a pain in the ass to pinpoint which vehicles use amber indicators and which ones don't. Also, a vehicle's default colors are in the carvariations (which is where the lightsettings are changed), so I'd have to see what colors are preset for each and every vehicle in the game, which would take forever. Basically, it's next to impossible for every vehicle to have the proper corona color in relation to it's indicator's texture. The good thing is that's the only problem with the mod I can think of. Once I get OBS studio working, I'll put out a video of BAL and my progress with B.E.L. still, if you know of a working fov mod for the latest version of GTA, please link me to it!

Yes.

Also can anyone link me a working fov mod for the latest version of GTA?

Close, but not quite. I'm not even sure if I will be able to successfully make this mod, so that's why I'm not announcing what the acronym stands for yet. And again, it's a small mod so I wouldn't get your hopes up just yet.

I've been trying to get a video showcasing some changes with B.E.L. but unfortunately OBS studio has these huge frame rate drops for no reason. If you have any tips or a better (free) recording software, please let me know. But don't worry, to put what I've done in words, I've been messing with some sequencer values and getting myself familiar with ELS-VCF's. Hopefully I will have a video out soon.

Fixed.
