Fix Bugged Emergency Vehicles Lights

If your emergency service vehicle has bugged lights (the lights are showing off of the vehicle), you can easily fix them by following the tutorial below. Please note, that with our packs this is not an issue with the car model. The lights are "bugged" because you've had a different police car with the same siren ID before, which is saved in your server cache.

  1. Change Siren ID – In carvariations.meta, find and replace the Siren ID with a random 6-9 digit number.
  2. Match the ID – In carcols.meta, update the Siren ID to the same new number.
  3. Restart the server or resource.
  4. If still bugged, try a different ID or delete server cache.

    1. Open carvariations.meta

    Find the model name in carvariations.meta, then look for the Siren ID. In this case 1930 is the Siren ID. Change it to a random number like 780619.

    The recommended random value is 5-7 characters.

2. Open carcols.meta

In carcols.meta, look for the Siren ID. In the first step, we used 1930 as an example, so in this case we find 1930 and change it to the same number as in carvariations.meta - 780619.

3. Restart the server or resource

Finally, you will need to restart the server or the resource the vehicle is inside for the changes to take effect.

That's it! Your lights should now work as intended.

If the issue persists, change the ID again.

Note : If its still bugged, delete your server cache.

To delete your server cache - stop the server, find the "cache" folder where your server is located (same folder where your "resources" folder is), then delete every subfolder inside it.

Once everything is deleted, you can start your server.
