ooh

winter crystal May 28, 2026, 9:45 PM

#

forgot to say, Dual sirens got added on the new update but its still pending review :3

indigo fern May 28, 2026, 9:47 PM

#

seems like it could be a succesor to the better sirens mod, just guessing that there arent new sirens build-into the mod itself?

ripe sinew May 28, 2026, 9:47 PM

#

I was working on something similar to this but this seems a whole lot better than mine was going to be, really excited to try this out!

#

Beam really needed a proper ELS system

No, I will leave that to other mods

#

You can use the BeamNG siren picker so

indigo fern May 28, 2026, 9:49 PM

#

fair enough, gonna try it out with modded sirens

winter crystal May 28, 2026, 9:52 PM

#

just be aware that custom sirens will "fade" away due to a bug or something idk

#

the new update has the fix for it but just needs to be approved

indigo fern May 28, 2026, 9:53 PM

#

alrighty

#

the mod doesnt add light control right?

#

as in

#

you cant change the pattern via the els panel

winter crystal May 28, 2026, 9:54 PM

#

you can toggle lights on and off

#

I WANT to add different stages

#

but idk how without modifying the whole ELS system and stuff

indigo fern May 28, 2026, 9:54 PM

#

that I know, but other lightbar modes that the game already has just under a keybind

indigo fern May 28, 2026, 9:54 PM

#

winter crystal but idk how without modifying the whole ELS system and stuff

I mean the game has lgithbar modes

#

ig somehow connect them to the ui tool?

#

so far vanilla modern lightbar has chase, scene, L/R signal

winter crystal May 28, 2026, 9:55 PM

#

oh yeah

#

omg

#

how did I forget that

indigo fern May 28, 2026, 9:56 PM

#

haha

winter crystal May 28, 2026, 9:56 PM

#

next update!

indigo fern May 28, 2026, 9:57 PM

#

playing around with it, its actually really cool and vanilla-style, the previous one from repo was focused purely on real life sirens which werent really high quality when it comes to the audio in them

coarse pelican May 28, 2026, 9:57 PM

#

winter crystal No, I will leave that to other mods

I actually prefer it that way, I like the vanilla sirens alot and couldn't use them with the Better Sirens mod

indigo fern May 28, 2026, 9:57 PM

#

also I havent came across the fading issue yet

winter crystal May 28, 2026, 9:57 PM

#

indigo fern also I havent came across the fading issue yet

some do it, some dont idk

indigo fern May 28, 2026, 9:57 PM

#

ah I see

winter crystal May 28, 2026, 9:58 PM

#

bro im actually so dumb

indigo fern May 28, 2026, 9:58 PM

#

oh hold on thats... new?

winter crystal May 28, 2026, 9:58 PM

#

how did I not remember lightbar modes

indigo fern May 28, 2026, 9:58 PM

#

lightbar is just stuck on this rn

winter crystal May 28, 2026, 9:58 PM

#

😭

indigo fern May 28, 2026, 9:58 PM

#

after an insert

winter crystal May 28, 2026, 9:58 PM

#

hmmm

#

wierd

indigo fern May 28, 2026, 9:58 PM

#

fixes itself after turning it on and off

winter crystal May 28, 2026, 9:59 PM

#

when you reset does it stay like that?

indigo fern May 28, 2026, 9:59 PM

#

winter crystal when you reset does it stay like that?

oh ok so whenever you fix your car with the lightbar on, the lightbar lights stay stationary in the exact same pattern as they were before the insert

coarse pelican May 28, 2026, 10:00 PM

#

I'm kinda sad that the game has no hyperyelp siren

indigo fern May 28, 2026, 10:00 PM

#

indigo fern oh ok so whenever you fix your car with the lightbar on, the lightbar lights sta...

seems to be happening on any car that has a modern ligbtar

#

and I have no idea if its an intended feature but u can have 2 sirens at the same time, since you can overlay both normal siren via shift+n and the one on ELS controller. Even if a glitch, its cool asf with 2 sirens on lol

winter crystal May 28, 2026, 10:01 PM

#

😭

#

thats why its in alpha

indigo fern May 28, 2026, 10:02 PM

#

lol

#

I am a profesional bug finder (I fuck around too much)

#

I mean hey, you added Cruise option to the lightbar modes!

winter crystal May 28, 2026, 10:05 PM

#

not a bug, its a feature ahh

indigo fern May 28, 2026, 10:05 PM

#

fr

winter crystal May 28, 2026, 10:14 PM

#

got the pickers, just need to rewrite the whole stages 😭

unborn violet May 28, 2026, 10:17 PM

#

Does it work for all lightbars?

indigo fern May 28, 2026, 10:19 PM

#

unborn violet Does it work for all lightbars?

Lightbar modes are only a thing on modern ones, but the sirens will work on anything that has a sieen slot afaik

winter crystal May 28, 2026, 10:24 PM

#

do custom siren mods usually add a horn?

unborn violet May 28, 2026, 10:25 PM

#

Depends

winter crystal May 28, 2026, 10:25 PM

#

cuz Im thinking of controlling the horn aswell

unborn violet May 28, 2026, 10:25 PM

#

I might use this over the other one

winter crystal May 28, 2026, 10:30 PM

#

unborn violet May 28, 2026, 10:36 PM

#

winter crystal May 28, 2026, 10:37 PM

#

unborn violet May 28, 2026, 10:37 PM

#

Ja

winter crystal May 28, 2026, 10:37 PM

#

unborn violet May 28, 2026, 10:37 PM

#

winter crystal May 28, 2026, 10:38 PM

#
