What is ELC?
Emergency Lighting Control is a new way to have nice lighting without the hassle for modelers, like non-els configs, and fix issues that ELS has like doors flickering, repairing, etc. It even allows up to 30 different lights on 1 vehicle. Christmas trees can be brighter, non can have even better-looking patterns.
Whats some of the benefits? Why switch?
Currently, the main reason I’m so excited for this is to fix the issues ELS has had in FiveM, things like repairing and issues surrounding it. If set up correctly with the model, you can even change the light colors on the fly.
Having said that, if it relies on vehicle modders to release new ELC vehicles and to convert old ELS vehicles, it’s likely that there would be a signficant transition period and some ELS vehicles that may be core vehicles on a server might never get updated.
For this reason, it would be ideal if this could be made compatible with or run alongside your old ELS mod. Maybe that’s not possible but it would ensure the quickest and widest acceptance, because again, for some servers heavily invested in certain lore/packs/units they would not transition (if ever) until sufficient replacement vehicles were released, no matter whether or not ELC is more advanced or efficient.
You are right, there would be a big transition period. As we get closer to release I hope to work with modelers to get vehicles ready for release that way this helps eliminate this period as much as possible. The only issue with it running along side already made ELS vehicles is that they weren’t designed in the way that is required for the script to have the fancy environmental lighting and the damageable aspect.
Though not tested, it should have no issues running along side the ELS script I have already released
this is sick sorry if someone already asked but what about desync? i used to have a lot of problems with els not syncing up on my server to the point we switched to non els cars
