Alpha ELS Controller 0.1.8

This update fixes the controller panel not responding to clicks on BeamNG 0.39.

Changes:

• Fixed the ELS controller panel ignoring mouse clicks.

Thanks for the reports.

This update focuses on light stages, which BeamNG 0.39 broke.

Changes:

• Light stages now step through the flash patterns a lightbar actually has.
• Scene lights, traffic advisors and turn signals no longer show up as ELS stage patterns.
• A lightbar with fewer patterns than you have stages now holds its emergency pattern instead of sticking on whatever it was last set to.
• Changing stage no longer stacks up "Lightbar Mode" popups.
• Removed an old startup workaround...

This update focuses on preventing ELS Controller from affecting vehicles that do not have it installed and expand compatibility with other mods.

Changes:

• Fixed an issue where the ELS vehicle extension could run on vehicles without the ELS Controller part equipped (again).
• Fixed some custom vehicles failing to load or being disabled due to missing wigwag/lightbar electrics values (again).

Thanks again for the reports and testing.

This update focuses on siren control behavior and clearer feedback.

Changes:

• Added ELS horn support.
• The horn now interrupts active sirens while held, then restores them when released.
• The manual siren now interrupts active sirens while held, then restores them when released.
• Added red warning flashes when a siren action is blocked or unavailable.
• Added an error feedback beep for blocked or invalid siren actions.

Thanks again...
