[Update 1.0 - 2015.03.13] Emergency Lights CLEO script by nyolc8

[nyolc8]

It will look like that, but I didn't worked on that code-wise (just the textures are done) because I found another (small) bug which is there since beginning

[BeastyBill88]

Lol another bug? What is this one if its been there since the beginning?

[nyolc8]

I mean "beggining" since I made the L key to change modes of all lights. It's a tiny bug but I don't really get why it's happening

edit: fixed it, and you won't believe it, but found another bug one minute later xd This time, the bug is in the view angle and corona size thing...

edit2: literally took 30 sec to fix this...  just had to put a "=" after a ">"

Compact OSD in action:

edit: don't know why youtube shows error when I embed it, but here is the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H4ezcI9r3_4

"SPTL" - spotlight
"SRN" - siren
"SRN +" - siren with H hold down

Very nice. Can I ask, how will the different lights work, will you press and hold 1 "master" key and (for example) press J to turn on the strobes? Also how is it looking for release? As I would love to have a tinker around with the mod on my night shifts lol.

[nyolc8]

To enable a light, you just press it's key. To change a light mode, you press and hold L and while you holding it, you press the light key which you want to change it's mode.

About release: Testing testing and testing to found out if there is any bug (like the flying bug) to prevent people from getting banned because of this mod

[BeastyBill88]

Thanks that's a nice way of doing it.

Lol thank you, I don't fancy being banned again Have found anymore major or bannable bugs?

[nyolc8]

Not yet, but didn't tested helis yet, and such... Btw I removed ~15-20 global variables from the script (replaced them with own storage). But there are still ~15-25 global variables

(global variables = variables which MAY used by the game itself(or others scripts) too, so can cause bugs/crashes)

You ask why I don't use other variables? A script can contain only 31 variables... which is far not enough.

You ask why I don't turn all global variables into own storage? They script would be 2x size, also it would be a nightmare to do it. (For read one data from custom storage: you need to calculate proper position in the memory, then read that data, then pass it to a local variable, then use that variable... same as writing data, but in reverse order.)

So I'm just hoping I won't find any more bugs...

[BeastyBill88]

Lol that hurt my brain just trying to read that haha. Rather you than me Nyolc8 Great job as always though.

[nyolc8]

Question:
Because of the 3 strobe lights, the cars got many config lines now. This making the vehicles.ini file bigger. Also it's harder to find the lines for a vehicle, I mean you have to scroll much, and it's getting more and more frustrating as you adding more and more vehicles in it. So the question is, what if I make a folder in EL called vehcfg, and then there would be a config file for each vehicle? And then vehicles.ini would be removed.

So for example, for copcarla, there would be a file "CLEO\EL\vehcfg\596.ini". For towtruck: "CLEO\EL\vehcfg\525.ini", etc....

What do you think?

Forget it, can't do it now

[BeastyBill88]

Hows the testing coming along? Any bannable bugs found?

[nyolc8]

No, but I didn't tested much in the weekend.

edit: some small refinements made in the code (removed some totally unneccessary code lines - I really don't know why I wrote those there lol - , and a small bug fixed)

[BeastyBill88]

Lol thanks for the update

[Wizzer]

Lol thanks for the update

Do you really have to reply after every new post?

[BeastyBill88]

Why got a problem?
