[GTA:SA] Improved Vehicle Lights +ELM!

[Hobo]

This is amazing. Holy shit. I can't wait for the release. How well do you think this will work on modded cop cars?

[nyolc8]

It will work on any car (even on non-police) because there will be an ini file where you can specify the light positions and everything. For every car you want.

edit: script rewritten to get working from ini file (getting coordinates, sizes, alphas from ini file for vehicles you want) done. So for example, towtruck will have working emergency lights with this Or any car you configure in the ini file. Also available emergency light features can be enabled/disabled for each vehicle. So for example if you want towtruck or lv police car with only main emergency lights, then you can configure it and disable the amber light and strobe light features for that one vehicle.

Really great work :O


Aren't "Amber strobe light : Left/Right Mode2" vice versa?

[Marccc]

Can we also change the colors in the ini file?, because towtruck have no blue light.

[Twido]

Is it possible to set our own buttons? I don't wanna use anything near ZQSD or WASD. Yes I have AZERTY and because of that ImVehLights isn't correctly working unless I can change the buttons and I haven't figured that out yet. I will probably set them on NUMPAD keys

[GeneralLee]

I bet that you could edit the buttons.

already fixed when I showed the video...

Yes

towtruck config example just to understand how it will be:

emergency.ini file with some description:
[hide=ini file lines]
[CFG]
onScreenIcons = 1 <-- I'll try to make icons instead of text on screen, and it will be able to enable or disable them. So this is not yet works.

[KEYS]
mainLights = 71 <-- key for main/roof emergency lights (G)
strobeLights = 74 <-- key for strobe lights (J)
advisorLights = 75 <-- key for advisor lights (K)

// CARS CFG
[596] //copcarla <-- vehicle id (596 = copcarla)
mainLights = 1 <-- enable main emergency lights (roof lights) feature
strobeLights = 1 <-- enable strobe lights feature
advisorLights = 1 <-- enable advisor lights feature

...many more lines for copcarla lights here...

[525] //towtruck <-- the vehicle id (525 = towtruck)
mainLights = 1 <-- enable main emergency lights (roof lights) feature
strobeLights = 0 <-- disable strobe lights feature
advisorLights = 0 <-- disable advisor lights feature

mainEL.pos1.X = 0.3 <-- main/roof emergency light on left/right side, corona #1 position on X axis (getting mirrored automatically to other side so you need to define only left or right side)
mainEL.pos2.X = 0.8 <-- main/roof emergency light on left/right side, corona #2 position on X axis (getting mirrored automatically to other side so you need to define only left or right side)
mainEL.pos.Y = -0.35 <-- main/roof emergency lights position on Y axis
mainEL.pos.Z = 1.55 <-- main/roof emergency lights position on Z axis
mainEL.rgb1.R = 255 <-- main/roof emergency light side 1 rgb color Red value
mainEL.rgb1.G = 166 <-- main/roof emergency light side 1 rgb color Green value
mainEL.rgb1.B = 0 <-- main/roof emergency light side 1 rgb color Blue value
mainEL.rgb2.R = 255 <-- main/roof emergency light side 2 rgb color Red value
mainEL.rgb2.G = 166 <-- main/roof emergency light side 2 rgb color Green value
mainEL.rgb2.B = 0 <-- main/roof emergency light side 2 rgb color Blue value
mainEL.alpha = 155 <-- main/roof emergency lights corona alpha
mainEL.size = 1.0 <-- main/roof emergency lights corona size
mainEL.shadow.pos.X = 1.5 <-- main/roof emergency light on left/right side, shadow position on X axis (getting mirrored automatically to other side so you need to define only left or right side)
mainEL.shadow.pos.Y = -0.35 <-- main/roof emergency light shadow position on Y axis
mainEL.shadow.pos.Z = 0.9 <-- main/roof emergency light shadow position on Z axis
mainEL.shadow.size = 3.0 <-- main/roof emergency light shadow size
mainEL.shadow.rgb1.R = 105 <-- main/roof emergency light side 1 shadow rgb color Red value
mainEL.shadow.rgb1.G = 76 <-- main/roof emergency light side 1 shadow rgb color Green value
mainEL.shadow.rgb1.B = 0 <-- main/roof emergency light side 1 shadow rgb color Blue value
mainEL.shadow.rgb2.R = 105 <-- main/roof emergency light side 2 shadow rgb color Red value
mainEL.shadow.rgb2.G = 76 <-- main/roof emergency light side 2 shadow rgb color Green value
mainEL.shadow.rgb2.B = 0 <-- main/roof emergency light side 2 shadow rgb color Blue value
[/hide]
This config enables only the roof emergency lights for towtruck. For vehicle which have strobe lights and/or advisor too, those need more lines to configure the other light positions and colors and sizes too.

here how this config looks like in game:

Don't know. Yeah I'll write a readme.

New onscreen-state system:

It's movable on the screen via ini file, you can set the transparency of it, and also you will be able to switch back to text-status (like on older videos)

is this only going to be for your mods or will it be compatible with all elm vehicles?

It will work on any car (even on non-police) because there will be an ini file where you can specify the light positions and everything. For every car you want.

It's working on non-modified vehicles. To make a simple answer, I just did this for you by adding some new lines into the "emergency.ini" file and using stock gtasa vehicle:

(flying while holding phone -> landing fail )
