it doesn't work, I already changed the assigned key several times and the menu just won't open

You might want to make sure you have the plugin set to run through Rage Plugin Hook.

hey guys, how can I have the wigwags effect the lighting on the ground flash like the Wig Wags you see in LSPDFR? 

I think you may mean ELS, and the answer is with default sirens you can't. You can do a lot to customize the environmental lighting, but as far as I'm aware you can't match what ELS does with wigwags environmental lighting exactly.

Hi guys am like 4 years too late for this topic but i cant find anything else that can help me this topics helped alot but i just wanted to know how do i change the intensity of the headlight wigwags and how do i make them flash for longer without changing bpm sequencer as that doesn’t do it justice

For the intensity

• I believe you'd have to find the cars headlights in the carcols.ymt and change it there, however that would change the value for the car's headlights as a whole

For the flash pattern

• Look at the attached picture. At the top of the carcols entry for the vehicle in question, you'll see these sequencer values. For mine, in this pic, they're all at 0 meaning the headlights won't flash at all with the sirens. Simply create a 32 bit integer (i.e. "10101010101010101010101010101010") and convert it to decimal form and replace that number. This site will do it and even gives you a neat visualization of the flashing (everywhere there's a one) http://www.binaryconvert.com/result_signed_int.html?hexadecimal=AAAAAAAA

Hey guys, I'm Roegon. Some of you I'm sure remember me, and if you do, I'm sorry! I was pretty toxic back in the day, and I took a long time away from the community. A lot in my life has changed since I've been gone, and it feels like so much has changed about this community since I've been gone! So that's why I practically feel like I'm new.

If you don't know me, I am RoegonTV, I've been known by many names, but I'm not going to derail with that. I've always loved videogames, and whether I wanted to admit it or not, my heart has always been with GTA.

I dabble in 3-D Modeling, and you can find all of the things I've released on the site! Just today I got 3DS and Zmod set back up, and I plan to rework some of my old equipment into better, higher quality versions for release. I plan to mainly focus on equipment releases, but I'm sure the temptation of vehicle releases will get to me! I did however, stupidly, lose my "Mods" folders as many modders call it. So I'll be starting from scratch other than the things I've publicly released. I hope to see you all around, and you can find my website (not an ad, just tells a little about me) and a link to my discord on my profile. Feel free to PM me, I'd love to catch up with some old friends!

A friend of mine and I were actually talking about this like 2 days ago. I completely agree. I think at least it would be cool to have some form of this implemented!

I would not.  Coming from someone who didn't play modded GTA IV and whose first experience with ELS is in GTA V, I'd never go back to non-ELS.  Primarily because the vanilla lights, even with fancy carcols, doesn't look that good imo.  Plus, I like the functionality of only having TA on, or code 2 lights.  ELS can be a bit more complicated and annoying, but its features make up for that.

Cool, that was some of the feedback I was looking for!

How's it goin LSPDFR??

It's been a hot minute since I have done any car modding, and I know ELS is the hot thing these days.

Would you guys still use non-ELS cars with the old school carcols settings? I am trying to gauge the interest.

We have unearthly delights in the staff forums.

There are some folks here who make amazing creations of art and are able to craft things only in the imaginations of the crowd. I strived to find that piece of my inner-self, to be just a fraction of "that" artist. My mind filled with desires and thoughts of grand spectacles...

 

But I can't even get a dang model or prop to open in zmodeler3... just a flat black screen no matter what I do.

 

So, on the verge of giving up on my own creations, are there "Modders for Hire" here? Is that a thing?

People will definitely want to help you. Just make a post about what you specifically want, and someone is sure to respond and "pick up the contract" so to speak.

Asking for payment through LSPDFR is against the rules, and even though that is a rule, most modders will do things for free

Shhhhhhhh, not in public!

only in public 

You guys can find it here: 

Here is what I spent my night doing:

It is like 480 triangles if I remember right

Anything I have made you guys want? I am not going to convert it because I don't even feel like getting into Zmodeler, but I will try to make it as easily convertible as possible

Hi all,

Hope you are all well.

I finally got 3DS Max back so I want to model again! I want to release stuff, I don't want to convert it or anything, but I miss modeling. So if you have any suggestions on light bars etc. let me know and I might make it, between school and work I will try and find some time.

interesting, Got any pictures? Im working on NYPD and this would be great.

This is a pretty up-to-date pic

It's been a hot minute since I have been on here. I don't mod cars anymore but I still love 3-D Modeling, that being said I opened up 3DS Max the other day and remembered I was working on a Federal Signal Vision SLR. It is pretty close to done and I wanted to gauge some interest on people wanting me to release it? I honestly don't even know if one has been released, lol. So let me know in a PM or whatever if you do.

No. You would set the delta to 3.1459265 in order for the enviromental lighting to shine backwards.

That would also mean I have to rotate that mesh 180 in Zmod right?

So just to clarify. I am going to use environmental lighting but make the corona size 0. So, for like a back facing light, I need to rotate the mesh 180, and set it to rotate 180 in the carcols (leave start 0) and the environment light will face backwards?

Think of it like configuring siren1 or siren6 on vanilla sirensetting 1. The mesh on those must be rotated 90 degrees, in this case it's either going to be 45 or -45 degrees.

Can you tell me what start and delta both do? I think I lmow but I am not sure

In the flashiness section, I am getting wrecked by the start and rotation values. Sometimes the vanilla lights have start of 0, and sometimes they start at other numbers and rotate, and I can't understand how to do that.

For example I have a light at 45 degrees on the front bumper: (.78539816 is the direction I want the corona to point)

Right now I set delta and start to 0 and the corona faces forward, and I do not have to rotate the mesh in Zmodeler. However, once I tell the corona to rotate to that value, how am I going to have to rotate the mesh?

Many thanks for your help.

So I have just kind of been wanting to be a part of a community for a while, and I also want to help people learn, and learn from other people!

So I started "Cutting Edge Studios". The name is kind of lame, and there are like 2 people in there right now, but my goal is that we get people who want to come hang out on the discord, and help each other learn about modding, and teach each other. It is meant to be a friendly community.

However, that doesn't particularly mean that if you join you are just automatically entitled to free parts and cars and stuff. People still reserve the right to decide who gets their stuff.

Come visit us and hopefully stay!
