What's new

tLS leaves beta. The editor is rebuilt around a single workspace with one undo history, a marketplace lives inside it so patterns and whole vehicle setups can be shared and imported without leaving the car, and a vehicle's configuration can now live in the vehicle's own resource instead of in tLS. There is a Stream Deck plugin, a stealth run-dark mode, and per-rule debounce on triggers. tLib v1.0 or newer is required.

tLS is not an ELS replacement and does not read ELS or non-ELS vehicle packs — every vehicle is configured once in the in-game editor, or ships a tls.json of its own. If you are new to it, start with Installation.

AddedFeatures12

• A rebuilt editor — one workspace shell instead of floating panels, a single undo history across every tab, a resizable pattern grid, and the LED editor and feedback moved into the sidebar. The camera is driven by pointer drags on the page rather than game controls
• Marketplace, inside the editor — browse LED layouts, patterns and full vehicle setups published by other servers, preview them animating on the card, and import one as a draft edit you can keep or throw away. Read the docs
• Publish from in game — share an LED layout from the Light placement header, a single pattern in one click from the Patterns tab, or the whole vehicle setup from the Marketplace toolbar. Each becomes Update and Un-share once published, so a listing is replaced in place and keeps its id and import count rather than being duplicated
• A vehicle can carry its own configuration — drop a tls.json inside the vehicle resource and that becomes the vehicle's home, so the lighting travels with the car instead of living in tLS. Export moves an existing configuration out to a vehicle resource
• Wildcard model keys — one configuration covers a family of models, and a vehicle can be marked read-only so a shared pack is not edited by accident
• Stream Deck plugin — built and published from the production build, and it connects on its own with nothing to configure. Keys mirror live state
• Stealth run-dark mode — everything off, including the brake and reverse lights the game drives itself
• Per-rule engage and release debounce — a trigger can be made to settle before it fires and before it lets go, which is what stops a rule chattering on a noisy condition
• Junction preemption, turn signals and a key lock among the trigger conditions, plus a reminder when a vehicle is left lit
• Quick settings in /tls — the handful of per-player options that were buried, on one tab
• tls_diag — one paste-safe line describing the install, for when something needs reporting
• HUD layout packs carry their own manifest, and a layout installed from the marketplace renders without waiting for a restart

ChangedChanges8

• tLib v1.0 or newer is required. The editor is built on tLib's design tokens, and configuration, marketplace, telemetry and keybinds all route through it
• The two shipped HUD layouts are renamed to CRX-600 (was WCC) and SPX-1800 (was WCC2), matching the naming used across tRadio, tDetector and tRadar. There is no alias — a server pinned to the old name must pick the new one
• data.json is no longer shipped. It is seeded on first boot, which stops an update overwriting a server's vehicles, and demo mode is honoured so a demo install cannot write
• Runs on both FiveM Enhanced and Legacy
• Black is a real colour in the pattern grid. An empty cell and a cell painted black are different things to an overlay — one lets the base pattern through, the other holds the LED dark — and they used to draw identically
• Deleting a pattern is one click. It was a two-click confirm whose armed state was invisible in game, in front of an action that Ctrl+Z already reverses and that nothing writes until you save
• A published listing records who published it — the Discord, Cfx and Steam identifiers behind a listing, for attribution and moderation. IP addresses are no longer sent or stored
• The NUI bundle is obfuscated in release builds, and every shipped webfont carries its licence

FixedFixes6

• Transitioning cells never completed their cross-fade in the editor. A long fade rendered at a fraction of itself, which looked like a hard flicker, while the same pattern played correctly in normal gameplay
• The pattern preview strip could not show a fade at all — it had no opacity channel, so a dimming LED stepped on and off
• The transition gradient in the pattern grid did not reach the cell's edges, so a fade read as a band with an unfinished wash under it
• Saving now waits for an answer before closing. A refused save used to clear the undo history and close the editor anyway, discarding the work it had just refused
• An unreadable data.json silently erased the server's defaults instead of refusing to load
• One bad vehicle model reprinted the same error every five seconds

tLS v0.3 ties lighting patterns to a vehicle's fitted variant parts — modkits, mods, and GTA vehicle extras — so a pattern only drives the LEDs that physically exist on the spawned vehicle, and fixes a set of state-synchronisation problems that could leave one player's view of a vehicle's lights and siren out of step with everyone else's.

AddedFeatures1

• Modkit, mod and extra integration for patterns — patterns can now take a vehicle's fitted variant parts into account rather than assuming every vehicle of a model is identical. An LED bound to a GTA vehicle extra only renders when that extra is actually enabled on the spawned vehicle, so a single shared configuration can cover a model whose lightbar, visor bar, or rear cluster differs between builds instead of needing a separate vehicle entry for each one.

FixedFixes2

• Fixed state-synchronisation issues that could leave a vehicle's lighting, siren, and stage state out of step between the driver and the players around them, particularly when network-entity ownership of the vehicle changed hands.
• A batch of smaller fixes and refinements across the HUD, the editor interface, and the shipped layouts.

The first beta release of tLS, an emergency vehicle lighting system for FiveM built around configuring a vehicle from inside the vehicle rather than by editing and reuploading pattern files. This release is available to buy on request rather than through a public listing — open a ticket to purchase.

AddedFeatures1

• Beta release of tLS — emergency lighting configured in the vehicle instead of in a file. Rather than compiling patterns into a resource and reuploading it for every flash-rate change or LED adjustment, tLS puts the lights, the patterns that drive them, and the conditions that trigger them behind an in-game editor, and pushes a save out to connected clients. Being a beta, expect the configuration format and the editor to keep moving between releases. Purchasing is by ticket — open one and it will be handled from there.
