TCLights v2.4 (Siren/Strobe Program)

[Asas]

Probably not the best topic to suggest an idea, but why don't we reserve /fast siren for police chases. While /slow is used when responding to a police/tow call?

I don't like the idea of restricting the amount of siren tones that can be used, unless absolutely necessary. In real life theres usually 3 tones to a main siren and we have the 2 plus airhorn and piercer currently.

"Bind failed" normally means something else is already using the port LFS is trying to use for InSim.

how to fix that ?

Hey guys,

Yesterday this program worked well for me!
But since today its strugglin. If i start TC lights 2.0 its sayin 'Your version of TCLigths has been blacklisted. This version can no longer-be used. There is a new version of tc lights available : 2.0.2'

Well, i tried to download it again but same failure. So can you guys please help me, because i really do love this version of TCLights!

Greetings,

PBJ

Maybe try downloading it again? Hopefully it works second time.

Did it, but too bad. Don't get it

PBJ:
What version of TCLights does it say it currently is?
I haven't updated it in a week, so my best guess is you're accidentally opening an old copy, unless something is caching it for a *really* long time.

Could you please use full sentences? I'm not a mind reader.

Please follow the instructions in the "Bug Reporting" section of the OP. I can't help with no information.

When I hold my button down on my wheel for the bullhorn, it just sounds the normal car horn. When you change horns the car horn sounds between siren tones and it also sounds just before the bullhorn engages...In my case it carries on sounding the car horn instead of switching to the bullhorn.

How do I fix this?

Thanks.

Sounds like you may be using the same button for the horn and for TCLights?
If you press the LFS horn key, it will override any other horn type that TCLights is trying to use (bullhorn or piercer), so you must have a different key set for LFS horn and TCLights
Another note, just in case, the bullhorn will only work while the siren is activated.

If nether TCLights nor Lazy can connect, I can only think that something is interfering - it looks like LFS is listening OK.

When I try to download this the link on the site, chrome and MSE go into a feverish panic.

I don't know what the problem is, because I've used this application before in previous years with no issues...

Interesting...

This is a new version of TCLights but I can assure you it's not malicious.

I'll let Elmo know.

[[TC]»Elmo«]

I guess the heuristics scan has found some similarities with said Trojan and assumed it's nasty.

TCLights2 has very simple code and some of it would proably look similar to a keylogger or similar (it uses a low-level windows API to scan for pgup/pgdn key-presses).

If it's still causing a problem, I can try submitting it to Microsoft as a false positive - I can't test it on mine, because Windows Defender refuses to run while my third party anti-virus is active.

For curiosity, I uploaded it to VirusTotal to check and it got detected by 0/54 scanners:

[Ich Dien]

I manged to get a copy of it back from Defenders clutches eventually. I also submitted it as a false positive.

[Byran]

When I first downloaded V2.0 it didn't have the virus detected problem. Now recently Stunna went to D/L it on his side and Windows Defender denies its installation. We have to turn Defender off to D/L it and to use it on LFS.

Hi so basically today i loaded up lfs as usual however this time when i opened Tc Lights this message came up, I have obviously tried restarting the programme along with my computer... i have let it through windows firewall etc but still no luck... i know its nothing to do with insim 29999 as my lfs lazy works fine... I was just wondering if anyone can help/has had the same problem as it was all fine a squeeky clean yesterday Cheers in advance

Try not using LFSLazy or anything else that occupies that port. Also, check in Multiplayer -> Start New Host -> Password and check if its blank, it should be.
