Reddington

Ever wanted to trade in your red/blues for amber and go security? Now you can!   The concept behind this pack was mainly security vehicles, however, they can be used for anything civilian related. I have included all PD vehicles! 🙂
 
Why so few lights?
I based the lights off a local security company, and they only run a light bar.
 
Will more vehicles be added?
Depends on the vehicle, but anyone can request one be added.

First and foremost, huge thanks to 600 and Ritter for helping me to figure this out!  With the introduction of vehicle searches, I jumped on the chance to customize the search item list to my liking, which has lead to over 1,000 items being added!  Please read all of the important notes below.
 
1. This list was copied over from my GTA V/LSPDFR search items and is intended to enhance the RP aspect, provide variety and offer realism.  As a result, some of the items are inappropriate or might be distressing.  Discretion is advised when using this.
 
2. Some of the items listed may not be able to be tested in game and rely 100% off roleplay, like unmarked baggie of pills. Due to limitations, some items that would be considered suspicious are instead marked as illegal. You can either ignore these, flat out arrest or roleplay it out yourself.
 
3. Since some of these items are very much NSFW, please do not post screenshots of those specific items on the main FL server, as it goes against the rules.
 
4. We cannot control the individual chances for each item. Even though there are so many, you could find the same thing multiple times in the same car.
 
5. With it being a bit of a hassle to install this, I don't plan on doing frequent updates. However, I do plan to add more items over time.
 
6. You may not take this list and reupload it as your own.  You obviously can edit it for personal use.
 
==== INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS FOR DRAG AND DROP ====
 
Open your flashinglights_Data folder.
 
Deleted sharedassets2.assets.
 
Drag and drop the sharedassets.assets from my download into your flashinglights_Data folder.
 
Done!
 
==== INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS FOR MANUAL INSTALL ====
 
IMPORTANT! IMPORTANT! IMPORTANT!!!
 
Before doing any of this, open your flashinglights_data folder and find "sharedassets2.assets". Right click-->copy. Paste this somewhere safe, I recommend a folder named "sharedassets backup." Trust me, having this back up will save you if you mess up.
 
I have recorded an installation video in addition to the text instructions below. Note: My tutorial can be used for ANY search item lists, install instructions are not limited.
 
 
You will need Unity Asset Bundle Extractor in order to install! You can either download it from this website or Google the name and download from Github.
 
Place the text document named "FL_SearchFound_Vehicle-en-sharedassets" onto your desktop.
 
Open UABE, then click file-->open.
 
Navigate to your flashinglights_Data folder and select "sharedassets2.assets"
 
A new window will open that asks you to choose a database.  Choose the one at the bottom most of the list. At the time of posting, that is U2019.20F1
 
In the new window that opens, find "FL_SearchFound_Vehicle - en"
 
Pro tip: Right below the word "Assets" in the top left (underneath "File"), click "Name" once. This will reorganize the list so all of the "Unnamed assets" are at the top of the list.  You may need to click name a couple times to make it rearrange right. Now, click "F" and you should be in the F category. Scroll down a little and you should find what you want.
 
Next, click "Plugins"-->"Import from .txt" and choose my text document you put on your desktop.
 
Then hit "OK" and confirm you want to save the changes.
 
A window will come up asking where you want to save the file "sharedasset2.assets". Do not save this directly to your game folder!! Save it somewhere else, then copy and paste it into the data folder.
 
You're done! Please be aware of the following:
 
1. When FL updates, this will break! You'll have to reinstall.
 
2. If/When I update the file, you will need to do this all over again.

This was something random I had thought about last night and decided to try.   If you're good at noticing details, in the middle of the pattern there is a pause before it continues.  This was my attempt at separating the patterns. I'm really not sure how I feel about it.  If you don't like that pause, you can go in and find the step that has a length set to 8.  That is the one causing it.  I recommend lowering the delay, do not delete the step unless you know what you're doing.
 
If you'd like this in different colors, like red/blue, please let me know and I'll upload a second version.

FINALLY! FINALLY WE HAVE A TAURUS! Taurus is my #1 favorite police car and I'm so happy it's here.  Naturally, I had to get it set up and looking right, thus I decided on this simple unmarked light set up.  No side runners or lights that overdo it.  I did want a bit more rear lighting so gave it license plate flashers.  Boy do I really want visor lights now. 😂
 
If you want this set up in red/blue, blu/white or any other additions, please leave a comment letting me know.  I'd be happy to upload another version with your preference.
 
 
Notes: This is not an individual light file.  It is the full Taurus.  Remember to import it on the vehicle selection screen.

Thanks for downloading!  I love unique undercover cars, so when I was thinking of something to make, Taxi popped into my mind. 😄 This is my first skin, so expect perfection to be out the door.  I've been tweaking with it for the past few weeks trying to get it to a point where I was happy.  As the name implies, this skin works best on a CVPI that does not have a lightbar.
 
Constructive criticism is welcome.
 
 
Huge thanks to GateKeeper, B10, Cozzar and Elias for helping me to take the plunge and start modding FL!
 
Additional thanks to Elias for helping to get rid of unwanted textures.

I wanted to try and fully utilize all the steps, and this was the result.  If I remember right, I wasn't able to use all 32, I think it stops at like 29 or 30, but I'm still happy with it. 😄

Back and forth patterns have always been my preference and figured others might feel the same. 🙂
 
Note: You may not redistribute this config.  If you have a friend who likes my set up but wants something slightly changed, leave a comment and let me know.  I'll happily upload the changes for you or your friend.
 
How to install: When on the vehicle selection screen, click the vehicle you want-->edit lights.
Click the diamond above the roof of the car you want the lightbar on.
Click one of the preset options.
Click the "edit selected" button in the top right of the light bar you've chosen.
At the top right you'll see the option "import lighting pattern".  Press that, then select my config file.
Done!

I wasn't happy with my initial tow truck, so I messed around with it more and was able to come up with this.  I might add more lights in the future, we'll see how it looks.
 
Notes: - Due to sync and lag in the game, the light bar pattern seems to change on its own to something that wasn't intended.  This is something with the game, unfortunately.
 This is not an individual light file,  It is the whole tow truck.  Remember to import it on the vehicle selection screen.

This unit could be used as either a stealth SWAT/ERT vehicle, police transport, sting operations, even for surveillance.  I might release a second variation with Christmas tree lighting.
 
Notes: This is not an individual light file.  It is the whole police van.  Remember to import it on the vehicle selection screen.

Very basic light set up that is geared more towards detectives, supervisor and/or a stealth unit.
 
Notes: This is not an individual light file.  It is the full Crown Vic.  Remember to import it on the vehicle selection screen.

Little something for the pumper that I liked. Decided to use two red rotators for the rear and have amber LEDs instead of the amber rotators.  I have listed this as complete, however, I love toying around with light configs, so there's a chance this might be updated of I find something that really improves the set up.

Additionally, the file in the download is the pumper as a whole.  Remember to "Import vehicle config" and not import light config.
