The wheels stay turned now on Photon 2 cars, but previously the photon 1 cars wheels stayed turned as well. Any help on how to reverse that to the way it used to be? I believe photon 2's components were able to be used on 1, but now thats not the case.

Thanks for the update, I will continue to be a loyal supporter of your work!!

@啊哈 not really, but you can use both simultaneously on the same server without interference

@Baked this should now be fixed. Thanks for your passionate support on this.

@ARF13 I would go ahead and create a new support thread on the Photon Discord (photon.lighting/discord) so we can look at your logs and try to figure out what's happening

cvpi when?
✠ Baked Beans Jul 14 @ 4:57pm 
@ Celtic Viking Yes, it stopped working for me in April randomly. Apparently it's been updated and fixed for a while but they wont post it on steam until there's more content to justify a workshop update.
Celtic Viking Jul 12 @ 2:47pm 
@beaked beans you noticed that too? wheel stopped staying turned awhile ago now and shit confused the hell out of

Bro i keep trying to spawn my cruisers in and everytime i try to spawn a cruiser in it will spawn nothing in but make the spawning noise. I dont know whats conflicting with the cars but nothing works. the original photon vehicles work just fine for some reason.
啊哈 Jul 6 @ 1:40am 
Is it compatible with the Photon 1?

press f3 to release the cursor

if it doesn't work put
ph2_f3cursor_enable 1
in console then try again
Spitzgeschoss Jun 15 @ 12:18pm 
Same thing happens with me.
Mateusz Morawiecki Jun 7 @ 11:01am

Whenever you open the Photon 2 menu and close it, you cannot move your camera around unless you restart the server since the game thinks the menu is open or something. Please fix unless I'm an idiot.

It's gone...... I don't know how, but I just can't find it

How to create my own car
啊哈 May 20 @ 1:02am 
When entering a multiplayer game,it gives an error and the livery and lights are gone......
✠ Baked Beans May 11 @ 3:44pm 
Sure would be nice to have it updated so the wheels stay turned after leaving vehicle.

@schmal Ummm, i don't know. This happens with Simfphys cars mod, when i spawn a car and enter, when i press W the car just disappear and a dr.kleiner voice line can be heared like:
"Oh, fiddlesticks, What now?"
schmal  [author] Apr 1 @ 6:01am 
@extraguy72 try turning off subtractive rendering. That's the biggest difference in how lights are rendered in 2 versus 1.

@Annoying Bastard sorry. If you want to use Photon 2, you should subscribe to the "Starter Package" manually and the automatic downloads will stop. Otherwise you can disable the feature altogether with the command Creator mentioned. Or, it's also in the Photon 2 menu under the "Options" tab.

@ChetosPower that's okay, Photon 1 will continue to be supported indefinitely.

@jcredford thank you

@lleo42160 sounds like a conflicting addon or keybind?
lleo42160 Feb 8 @ 9:32am 
Can someone help me, i spawn vehicles, but when i enter and press W, the car literally despawn automatically, how to fix that?
jcredford Feb 6 @ 9:15pm 
schmal i love you
ChetosPower Feb 5 @ 4:24pm 
photon 1 > photon 2
creator_2013 Jan 15 @ 8:53am 
@Annoying Bastard It's downloading some required addons. If you want to disable it you can do ph2_enable_auto_download 0 in console
Blue Darkman Observant Jan 15 @ 8:36am 
Everything is fine. Could you make light reflection for the dark area because when I drove my police car and the lightbar is blinking it did not brigth the area
Annoying Bastard Jan 14 @ 5:37pm 
Why the fuck is it downloading shit agaisnt my will
extraguy72 Jan 5 @ 10:11am 
also is there any mods or settings to make the lights interact with the environment, like ray tracing and stuff
extraguy72 Jan 5 @ 10:06am 
is there a good balance in the bloom editor too make it look like the old photon? for me it just seems too defined rather than the lights being more blurred like in the old photon.
HAIRY ManB00b Dec 26, 2024 @ 11:09am 
is there going to be a cvpi photon 2 car coming?

INSPECTOR STEVE Dec 1, 2024 @ 3:39pm 
I'm having problem with the mod, every time I launch a map my screen freezes and goes pink error screen. I have disabled other mods that gave me errors and disabled Photon 1 assets and kept the photon 2 requirements, is there other things i need or don't need?

Oh wow. Crazy to see DVI ingame. Great work again. Just playing around with the mod more.
GONE IN 60 SECONDS🚦🚦 Nov 30, 2024 @ 6:55pm 
Amazing work. DVI patterns possible?
An_Unknown_Player[FIN] Nov 15, 2024 @ 3:27pm 
Are there any tutorial videos on how to make a Photon 2 vehicle? (Which would also include the set up for regular lighting and turn signals) Because I have an interest to make some, but have no idea how to.
schmal  [author] Nov 12, 2024 @ 3:15am 
@BOOTY EXECUTIONER this is currently possible by editing your vehicle file code. That said, I know very few people can do this, so this is a feature under consideration

@Neoba are you confident about this? I know all other government vehicles use XMT tags, but I have never actually seen WSP use it. Instead they just have "WSP" as part of the plate.

@DOZZY as much as I would love to do this, I'm afraid it's beyond my field of expertise

@Lt AC130 Thank you for the updates.

@Anomaly Is this still happening? If so, are you using a main or dev version?
SealWX Nov 6, 2024 @ 11:39am 
Whenever i spawn one of the included cars, it crashes and says "Engine Error" its so fucking annoying like omg
Lt. AC130 [MSP] Nov 3, 2024 @ 7:41am 
Found out the issue, happens whenever I play on x64 version of the game, ignore my last 5 comments.

Please, make car damage, and civill cars, and more realistic physics
Neoba Oct 10, 2024 @ 11:03pm 
Just a minor inaccuracy, the Washington State Police Caprice should be using XMT plates rather than regular civilian plates. Very subtle detail.
SN4KE EY3S Oct 10, 2024 @ 1:34pm 
Is the option of when you initially had the sirens on, it stays on after you exit the vehicle? If not can you please add that feature?
galaxy Oct 1, 2024 @ 6:59pm 
I see errors for the vehicles, I looked for the req content but see nothing. Do i need CSS?
