Flash Light Bars on Emergency Service Vehicles

(Updates currently On Hiatus)

[BUG]: IWBUMS 41.39+ seems to have caused an issue with the light bars and sirens.
With this mod disabled or enabled, any enabled (turned on) light bars and sirens currently disable themselves when reloading a save file or reloading an area (chunk) with a vehicle in it.
I have submitted a bug report[theindiestone.com] to the PZ forums.

[04/20/2020] - IWBUMS Build 41 (Works on 41.38 and previous builds).
[04/20/2020] - Tested on Build 40.43 Singleplayer and 40.43 Multiplayer. Added simple Language Translations.


This mod's purpose is to have police, fire, and ambulance vehicles feel like they responded to zombie incidents and have abandoned their vehicles.

Mod Features:

• 99% chance (5% in parking lots) for Emergency Service Vehicles to have their light bars flashing.
  
• There is a 2 month timer (by default) for all vehicle flash % chances to slowly decrease to 0%.
  
• The sandbox option "Months Since The Apocalypse" determines how much time has already passed. It is located in the "World" tab when starting a new sandbox game. (Note: Playing the mode "Six Months Later" will start you 6 months ahead and go pass the 2 month default timer.)
  
• Added the option for keys to be spawned in vehicles that flash their lights. Default settings is "false".
  
• 10.0% chance for Emergency Service Vehicles to have their sirens on, if and only if they have their lightbars on. LIMIT: Only 1 siren can sound per save/world.

To change this mod's settings, go to the title screen or pause menu if in-game. Click on "Options". On the top-right, click on "FLightBars". If it is not there, click on the small arrow icon on the top-right. This should reveal the tab if it's off-screen. If you are in-game, save and reload the save file to apply the new settings.

--- Build 41.26 Link: https://pzwiki.net/wiki/Build_41#IWBUMS_Build_41.26 ---
Build 41.26+ IWBUMS has a revamped mod system. Each save file has their own list of mods. If you do want to use this mod for your old saves on that build, go to the title screen, click "Load", click on the file you want to load but don't start the game. There's a "More..." button on the bottom right the screen for each save file, click on that. Click "Choose Mods...". After that, find and Enable this mod. Click "Back" and load the save file. It should now work on the old save file.

On a server, this mod will use the host's settings. If you are the host, it will use your settings.

Compatibility:

• Compatible with Filibuster Rhymes' Used Cars! [Build 40] [IWBUMS Build 41].
  
• Should work with other vehicle mods since this mod calls built-in functions of Project Zomboid to turn on/off light bars and headlights of a vehicle.
