Alpha - ELS Controller

Alpha Notice

This mod is currently in ALPHA. It is not finished, not fully stable, and some features may change, break, or behave differently between updates. Please expect bugs while the core systems are still being built and tested.

ELS Controller gives your emergency vehicles a more natural way to run lights and sirens, with quick tone changes, dual siren support, a hold-to-play manual siren, feedback beeps, configurable light stages, and a compact in-game controller inspired by real ELS panels.

What It Adds
- Emergency light controls with optional ELS stages
- Four quick-select siren buttons
- Dual siren support for layering two tones
- A momentary manual siren
- A standby button to cut active sirens
- Feedback beeps when changing controls
- A compact dashboard-style UI app
- Per-vehicle siren choices saved with your configs
- Optional per-vehicle light stage setup
- Compatibility for no-fade/custom Lua siren mods
- Support for BeamNG's built-in lightbar control as an ELS toggle
In-Game Controller

The included UI app gives you a small ELS-style control panel on screen. It shows whether the controller is installed, which light stage is active, which siren is selected, whether a dual siren is active, and when the manual tone is being held.

You can use it with your mouse or bind everything to keys and use it as a visual reference while driving.

Setup

Add `ELS Controller` to the vehicle's `Siren Audio` slot, then choose the sirens and feedback beep you want from the parts selector.

After that, bind the ELS controls from the controls menu and add the `ELS Controller` UI app if you want the on-screen panel.

Each vehicle config can keep its own siren setup, so your cruiser, ambulance, and tow truck do not all need to sound the same.

If supported by the vehicle/lightbar setup, you can also configure ELS light stages for that vehicle.

One of the best mods in my opinion, even in this early stage of development.
It has some bugs sure, but its expected since its a work in progress
It has a lot of potential, looking forward to see what it becomes!

It's a really good mod, but the UI app doesn't work for me. I tested keybinds and they worked.

This is truly an amazing mod. However 0.39 seems to have broken the dual siren function.

I would also love for an option for horns to not override a siren and an option to not have the sound restart after the horn is done being pressed.

So far it is working, however it is not compatible with the GC US style lights :( this makes me sad cause i love the ELS from it.

Honestly, I love it, however, I as well am having issues with the crown vic. Now idk if it is the fact that RLS expects it to be a real Jbeamed part or what but like it gives a fatal lua and borks the menu when i try to install it. Nonetheless great mod

I can finally give this fiv- uhh, I mean, four stars now that almost everything wrong initially has been fixed. However, can you make the siren switching support itself in replays?
