Does anyone know why my ELS wont work?

[baconboidev]

Let me elaborate, I have installed LuxArt controller, and MrDaGree Els system. It works for any other car, but I have this OPP car from lcpdfr.com, which I imported, put the vcf in, and streamed the car. The only problem I'm having is that it thinks its one stage, and that one stage is literally the brake lights cycling. When I press Q to switch stages, it just turns off. Anyone know how to fix?

Might want to check the VCF. It could be set up incorrectly.

I tried everything with it, I believe it's something else. VCF seems fine, I tried capital, lowercase, etc, it seems all good.

If it's not a paid pack, could you link it? 
We could test if the VCF really is corrupted or not. 

Also; you may need to restart more than the resource, if you're using it on your server.

Also make sure the resources.lua is set up properly.

The only other thing I mod is the texture, which I do with OpenIV, then put it in Stream.

Where can I find that?

Did you use the replacement or add-on pack?

And which slot is causing issues, exactly?

Depending on what ELS for FiveM you’re using, it’ll require a special line in the fxmanifest or resources.lua. 
you should check the readme of the ELS you’re using.

I checked the ReadMe, there is nothing there other than the installation guide which just says do the ensure ELS, and place it in resources.

There's more to it than those two steps.

Replacement.

All.

Already did the entire readme. I will have a look at the controls, though.

If they are replacements, the __resource.lua is usually empty, but ELS requires you to edit it differently.
1. You need  " is_els 'true' " at the bottom.

2. You need the .xml's in the "files" section of the __resource.lua.

 

For ELS: 

1. Have (whichever ELS you're using, we use ELSplus) in /resources.

2. Have it start in the server.cfg.

3. Restart the resource / your server to be sure.

Where exactly is the ___resource.lua? That's the only thing I'm struggling with at this point.

In your ELS resource folder. Could also be a fxmanifest.

Yeah, there's only a fxmanifest with this inside: I'll try to put that in there.

fx_version 'bodacious'
game 'gta5'

-- lua54 usage
lua54 'yes'

author 'MrDaGree'
description 'A resource which provides extensive controls for Emergency Lighting System-V created by Lt.Caine'

shared_script 'shared/*.lua'

client_script {
    'vcf.lua',
    'config.lua',
    'client/**/*.lua'
}

server_script {
    'vcf.lua',
    'config.lua',
    'server/**/*.lua'
}

Alright, I tried what you said, still will not work, I am trying something else, but any more ideas/solutions?

[Sebo]

Maybe it's LuxArt thinking that it's a non ELS vehicle. I wouldn't know if you can blacklist it or something like that.

Yeah I'm gonna look into that.
