🚨 MISS-ELS: Matsn0w's Incredible Server-Sided ELS

MISS-ELS is an all-in-one configurable Emergency Lighting System (ELS) for the popular Grand Theft Auto V (GTA V) multiplayer client called FiveM.

The server-side element restricts controls to the driver (and optionally his passengers) and allows you to activate primary, secondary and warning lighting each with individually configurable key-bindings.

Welcome to the best server-sided Emergency Lighting System for FiveM!

Oh, and you might ask yourself where all the 'Els' or 'Miss Els' jokes come from. It's a meme. Loes is calling her grandchild Els. Els? Els! ELS!

⚡ Key Features

MISS ELS is very different compared to most other ELS resources! These are some key features:

• Fully customizable light patterns
• Support for up to 36 independent light sources (12 extras + 26 miscs)
• Use native game sirens or use your own with WMServerSirens
• Optional light reflections around the vehicle
• A VCF configuration wizard to make your life easier

Furthermore...

• Sirens and lights synced across the entire server
• Support for 3 different light stages
• Support for up to 4 different sirens per vehicle
• Indicator controls
• Flashing high beams
• Stop sign beeping
• Customizable personal keybinds
• ...

🧩 Requirements

You need to have the following resources installed on your server:

• FiveM baseevents (shipped by default)
• WarMenu

⚙️ Installation and Configuration

See the instructions in the documentation!

🚓 Vehicle Configuration Files

If you have any existing VCF files from the original author of this resource, then you'll probably be fine. The XML should be fully backwards compatible.

⚠️ If you have a VCF from any other resource, that'll most likely not work.

In both cases, it's probably best to re-create them by either writing them yourself OR... use the convient configuration GUI! Using this tool, you can easily generate configuration files for your vehicles. You can find it here:
