Lilday

I've fixed it! For some reason, Ctrl+Backspace wasn't working for me. I don't know why. I went into the ELS.ini file and updated it to RightShift+Ctrl to enable 'Express mode' and it works! So now I hit L3 on the PS3 pad and I get lights & siren together. NEW PROBLEM: ELS crashes after 10minutes of gameplay in Express mode. In normal mode, it NEVER crashed for me with v7. But in Express mode it has now crashed 2 times.

Anybody have any more info on this? Apparently in ELSv6 you used ALT+T to enable Auto mode, which synced the siren & lights to one button. I've tried Ctrl+Backspace in ELSv7 and it does not work. Does anybody know how to enable this mode where pressing the horn button will turn on sirens AND lights? Thanks.

This worked perfectly. I didn't have OpenIV installed but I can see how powerful it will be in future :D Thanks.

Here is the problem. A police car I'm using has 4 textures (paint_job_1, paint_job_2, paint_job_3 and paint_job_4) paint_job_1 = 960x960 px paint_job_2 = 960x960 px paint_job_3 = 2048x2048 px paint_job_4 = 2048x2048 px So when the car spawns, it randomly has one of these paint jobs. The skin I've made is what I'd call 'HD', (2048x2048) but obviously two of the texture files are 960x960, so the skin gets squashed up and blurred. So lets say 4 of this car spawn. 2 will look OK and 2 will look all blurry because the skin is squashed up. Can I create a new WTD file with only ONE paintjob? Can I remove the 960x960 textures? In SparkIV I have no options, do I need the unlocked model to change any of these things? The photo shows the problem. I'm putting the same skin in (2048x2048) but it re-sizes to 960x960. EDIT - SOLUTION: Install Open IV. 1: Launch OpenIV 2: Select Grand Theft Auto IV 3: Navigate to Models/CDimages/Vehicles.img 4: Click "Edit Mode" then click "Yes" to the pop up box 5: Find the vehicles .wtd file (Ex: police1.wtd) 6: Find the texture files you want to replace (Ex: Paint_Job_1) 7: Select them then click "Replace" 8: Find the new texture and import it, check to see if the resoltion has changed 9: Click "Save" and then close OpenIV 10: Play GTA IV The new texture files should now be in HQ 2048px resolution. Thanks to SharpCommand.

icEnhancer 2.1 with ENB 0.082b I'm wondering why express mode isn't working for me. Ctrl & Backspace does nothing. Have you guys tried it in v7?

Yes it has worked 100%. The two asi loaders must have been causing conflicts and crashing the game. Right now I'm trying to get express mode working (So I can hit L3 on the PS3 pad and have the lights & siren both come on) but Ctrl+Backspace isn't doing anything. But yes, ELS is now working (aside from express mode) and I haven't had one crash yet. Thanks all for assistance.

Yeah this sounds perfect. Only one problem, when I hit Ctrl+Backspace nothing changes. I still gotta press J three times to get lights on. pressing the horn just beeps. hmm. Maybe I need to change some settings in ELS?

Anybody tried this? I'm thinking somehow I'll be able to map the L3 button on PS3 pad to the siren & lights (stage 3) with just one click. I'm just reading through the manual now and nothing is jumping out at me. Do you think it will be possible for example: Within ELS v7 settings: Map siren to J key Map Lights to J key Map controller L3 button to J key The only problems I can see Maybe ELS doesn't allow siren & lights from the same key? Maybe I can't map stage 3? So I'll need to press L3 three times? (Not a big problem) So yeah I'm gonna see what I can do. Any advice before I begin? Thanks. UPDATE WITH SOLUTION: I went into the ELS.ini file and updated it to RightShift+Ctrl to enable 'Express mode' and it works! So now I hit L3 on the PS3 pad and I get lights & siren together.

I'm using the same operating system and the same GTA version from steam. I've uninstalled EVERYTHING and am starting from scratch.

This must be my problem! I have dsound.dll AND xlive_d.dll AND xlive.dll I'm not sure what to do... If I uninstall any of them, then icEnhancer will stop working? Ah, I'm in a mess here.

Hi, I'm new here but will be as precise as I can. I'm using GTAIV with icEnhancer 2.1 with ENB 0.082b I'm using a few models created by Eric James (BritishPoliceMods), they are all ELS v6 compatible AFAIK (Sprinter Ambulance, Sprinter police van, Subaru Impreza unmarked, BMW X5 marked, Audi S4 marked, VW Golf mk5 marked etc) When I start the game WITHOUT ELSv7, everything is perfect and works as normal. So to install ELSv7 I completed the following, Copied: ELS.isi ELS.asi ELS folder Scripthook.dll dsound.dll common folder Into the root of my IV folder. Then when I start up IV, I get past the social club screen [select play offline] and allow the game to load up. I then press the 'Start' button at the in-game loading menu and the game starts to load up. The screen goes black (normal) and in the bottom right you have 'Loading...'the cousins bellic' (name of save-game...normal)... And then it shuts down. "GTAIV.exe has stopped working, Windows is searching for a problem". I've tried 3 times and it still does it. I've replaced the files with the original backups and the game now plays perfectly. So, ELSv7 IS BREAKING MY GAME. How do I fix this? Any ideas? UPDATE I've done some more research and I have found this possible lead: I have dsound.dll AND xlive_d.dll AND xlive.dll Now, I don't know which to uninstall. If I uninstall the xlive files, my icEnhancer will stop working I believe. UPDATE 2 I've tried deleting xlive_d.dll and xlive.dll together, this re-enabled Rockstar Social club so I could not launch the game. UPDATE 3 I've tried keeping xlive.dll and removing xlive_d.dll - this bypassed the social club however, once again, crashed upon loading. UPDATE 4 I've tried keeping xlive_d.dll and removing xlive.dll - this DID NOT bypass the social club however I logged in, and the game still crashed. There MUST be a way to fix this. How do you guys run the game without xlive & scripthook? UPDATE 5 I went back and re-tried removing both xlive_d.dll and xlive.dll, and tried to log in to Rockstar social club. This worked however the game STILL CRASHES. I'm seriously lost right now. I've exhausted all options to my knowledge and just really need some help. Thanks. FINAL UPDATE It appears that the problem was conflicting ASI loaders. I uninstalled GTAIV, all mods...EVERYTHING. This may not have been necessary but I chose to do it, a clean slate. I then completed the following: - Redownloaded GTAIV from Steam - Created a new folder in C:Program Files called "Rockstar Games" - Copied the 'Grand Theft Auto IV' folder from steamapps to the new Rockstar Games folder - Installed trainer & dsound.dll & SparkIV - Tested = Working - Installed ONE car mod (ELS compatible) - Tested with no ELS - No crash - Installed ELS v7 - Tested ELS v7 on ONE ELS compatible car and it works. (Remember to disable keys in trainer). So the solution I found: Completely remove IV and start fresh.
