Beacon Edit by JBM

Description
CONVOY UPDATE
This mod has been updated for use in convoy/multiplayer. Enjoy!

YES, IT WORKS IN 1.50!

1.40 UPDATE NOTES
The 1.40 update brought about some much needed lighting improvements for ETS2. The new lighting system rendered most lighting mods unusable because of the newly updated flare data and a restructured file library. Performance of vehicle lights has, on the whole, been greatly improved in 1.40. But there are still plenty of lighting mods out there awaiting updates by their authors. Please be patient! Modders have lives too!


ATS BEACON EDIT
I was never happy with the performance of the standard in-game beacons, so today, I thought I would experiment with some files and do something about it! :D


WHAT THIS MOD DOES
This basic mod simply changes the flash properties of SCS beacons and vehicle warning lights in the game.

Player Trucks & Trailers:
- Increases brightness and speed of Radiant rotating beacons.

AI Trucks,Trailers, Service and Emergency Vehicles:
- Increases brightness and speed of rotating beacons.
- Changes brightness, flash patterns and speed of LED beacon bars.


WHAT THIS MOD DOESN'T DO
- Replace beacon models.
- Change beacon colours or offer new ones.
- Add or remove tuning part slots.
- Use version-specific game data.
- Edit third party beacon mods.
- Cook your dinner. ;)


NOTES
This mod uses a modified flare file from the game, so it may also increase brightness of third party lighting mods. Bear this in mind if you're using beacon mods with psychedelic flash patterns!

DayneTreader - Could be a truck or other accessory mod causing that. I haven't been able to reproduce the issue you describe. I'd be interested to know if you find a fix.

My graphics settings are all at maximum. I can see blinking lights on my mirrors when I have the beacons turned on, but those lights are halfway between the beacons' position in my mirrors and tops of the mirrors. I'm gonna see if there is a mod that fixes this.

DayneTreader - I think you're saying that the emitted light from the beacons isn't reflecting off the door mirrors?

I think that would be kind of annoying, if I'm honest. But if you really want lights reflecting off the mirrors, you could try changing the Light Visibility Ranges option to 'High' in the graphical settings and see if that helps.

I'll explain further what I mean. In first-person, the beacons on the side of the truck do not flash their lights in your mirrors where they should. On the W900, for example, the light flashes almost at the top of the mirror where the beacon is only halfway up the mirror.

DayneTreader - I'm not sure I understand your question. This mod doesn't change the position of anything.

Does this mod fix the locations of the beacons' lights in the cabin mirrors?

@Mr. Godzilla - The wrecker is a mod. If that mod uses it's own beacon models, my edit will not work with that.

PLEASE READ BEFORE COMMENTING

If you are experiencing issues with this mod, please explain what that issue is so I have something to work with. DO NOT leave a comment simply saying “update to 1.XX”. This mod does not contain version specific content, and will only receive essential updates as and when they become necessary.

Comments asking for version updates will be deleted and ignored.


Thanks for understanding and happy trucking! :winter2019happybulb::winter2019happysnowman:

@Mr Godzilla - Please describe the problem you are having. This mod still works fine for me.
