Update: I decided to just make my premier as the FBI car, that may be causing the issue. I will be trying a mod expert car next to see if it isn't sparkIV that's having issue. Update 2: Something is wrong with my whole car, maybe I didn't save the car correct when I imported the file. Otherwise the Premier Car doesn't like being edited. Hope someone has an idea :-(

Hi, I have change this topic from the IVDashCam issue to this issue. I worked out sorta what to do with the error with extra. I just reload the script. Ok, So I cant seem to find more details on how to map els. nobody has a good easy tutorial, and the videos suck. BUT, I found a YouTube video with BritishMods, his video was slower, more straight forward. He did some weird things with dummy helpers and as it was a silent film, had no explanation. So 1. What are those for? do I need them? 2. I made my light how he did it, I wanted to test if it works. I didn't put dummy helpers, I just renamed my blue light box to extra_1L0, and white light box to SirenBox_L0. This may be my biggest issue, but I still wanna make sure I technically did it correct. I put those into the car I chose branch, I exported and loaded Spark, when I import the fbi.wft, which also, I didn't know how to get the .wtd of my car, I get an error stating, Unhandled exception has occurred in your application. then I can click continue to ignore error, which then leads to nothing changed, or I can quit the whole program.... Sorry, I'm very noobish with this. All I need is a link to a nice tutorial on how to make box, anything else to add, naming boxes/other added objects, make sure the light will work where you place it, how to export it properly, anything needed that I missed. Thanks, Sorry for noob situation. But you guys are awesome on here :-) Chris

The instructions were good up until the polygon strip. I do not know if I done it right, then my grids, I didnt know how or if it worked, Since my boxes didnt look like the pictures which the "doing it" pictures didnt show much, only the after shots, it aint like the after shots haha. Checked the zmodler site, didnt have much info. I think we should just see premade ELS that hopfully can be added to the model we want, and all the non pro modders can just resize and move the lights to the positions we wanted and save and boom. Or a better detailed tutorial. Out of all the rookie modding ive done, this is the hardest one ive faced. But I think I do better with bigger detailed tutorials. Thanks for the effort in making this, but was not able to understand it 100% like I have with other modeling tools for games. I guess you gotta have the patience and understanding that noobs are noobs. Like another pro said once, "I was a noob once, so gotta teach everyone the best methods to succeed as I have." Ill look over it again. Try and figure what went wrong... I HOPE! :-P *fingers crossed*

I found a different emergency lights texture, but seems to be different to the tutorial. do we really need the one in tut or can any work? also at the start, the download link, Im not sure if its suppose to be straight to the contender, but I cant find contender.

I have issue with noose, if i press alt+N, it swaps to desktop which then I can a) click back on GTA IV Icon on taskbar to get back into game, or b) click icon but it wont load and must be stopped via task manager. Same with taser!... If i can get back into the game, pressing Noose again won't send them nor will taser. Infact, key combinations between the two changes the outcome of not working or swapping to desktop. Alt+N, Moves to desktop, Get back into game, Alt+N, Does Nothing but then, Alt+T, Moves to desktop, Get back into game, Alt+T, Does Nothing, Rinse and Repeat. Taser first before Noose commonly just starts with nothing happening. I had default Noose skins and cars, and I have new vehicles now but I dont think I changed Noose Trucks, Does the Patriot count?, reinstalled LCPDFR to try help both Noose and Taser issue. Im thinking about removing SN Trainer as both Alt+N and T both do spawning. But if thats the issue, ill be cut as I watched youtube videos of people having same trainer as I and still can use taser and Noose. I even attempted to change Trainer keys to something else to stop the conflict. If it was possible to change the Noose and Taser keys, I think it would work. But I dont think you can edit the keys. I can howerever use the F key to call Noose in a pursuit. UPDATE! Turns out I can get it both to work if I press Alt+Con+N or T! Strange...

I seem to have a crash to desktop, well more like swap to desktop when I do certain things, like pulling people over at times, trying to equip taser or call for something. Sometimes I can get back into the game by pressing on the taskbar icon, but most of the time, it cant respond anymore and I must task manager close the game... most of the time, the swapping occurs with alt + T and alt + N... I think my trainer thats installed maybe causing issue. Its the Simple Native Trainer. alt + N spawns a bike, I disabled key bindings. The fact you dont have a trainer makes it more weird.
