LFS Development Discussion

[Dracula]

I would count tire physics which we've been waiting a very, very long time for as content, but I see your point.

Hopefully there is some other sort of content in the works alongside VR support then. :]

I just writted here , more than for searching an answer , for inform to no update cause light programs dont work.
But i also remember this rule:

5.6. Flashing lights must be used when in a chase.
Hazard lights (9 key) and Headlights (3 key, constantly on or flashing) are minimum. You do not need a third party program.

More translation updates, thank you translators

Siren sound :

Text command /siren=off/fast/slow

There are now 2 sirens in LFS which can be toggled on and off. Video coming soon...

[[TC-R] Adam]

This will mean that i won't have to open up a separate app every time i want to cop (if i ever do)

[[TC]►Ash◄]

Light bar might be coming sooner than we thought then lol

---

And by the sounds of it we will be able to allow the Insim to only give COPS the power to use the sirens. Therefore normal players will be able to use Horn 1-5 again perhaps?

[Ph4nToM]

Well that's interesting news

[[TC]►Ash◄]

Just downloaded it now, its nice how you can use the other horns whilst the siren is going, so you can use HORN1 or 2 as a bullhorn or whatever

---

Another idea we could do is keep HORN4 and HORN5 as sirens, but make them other types.

Ie the new sirens are called sirenslow.wav and sirenfast.wav

sirenslow.wav = current horn 5
sirenfast.wav = current horn 4
HORN5 = Piercer
HORN4 = Bullhorn

And now as there is lower latency in the sounds in multiplayer, there would be less chance of others hearing the wrong sounds.
