Here are a few pictures of the Detective CVPI and the Code 3 Warrior. The car has a few different light options, the pushbars are optional, the headlight corner strobes can be changed from white to red and blue and the Warrior can either be steady red or split blue and steady red.
Based on the feedback I've gotten here and on Discord, I'll make the Havis console that's mounted underneath the dash with the same radio and the Mastercom controller I've used for the other cars.
In addition to the marked and slicktop CVPIs, I've also started working on a 2008 Street Appearance Package CVPI, intended as a detective or administrative car. It will have fewer lights, most likely a similar hideaway/grill light setup like the other CVPIs with a steady red or split red/blue Code 3 Warrior in the front and a short amber/blue Code 3 Wingman in the back.
I'm unsure about the interior equipment and I'm hoping for some feedback:
I have added the mirror lights and a short version of the Wingman to the marked CVPI. These lights are set up as optional extras, whether the car spawns with or without either of them by default can be set in the vehicles.meta.
I have finished the LED X mirror lights:

Update: The first trailer has been released:
I'm finally back to modding and have managed to finish the Code 3 Supervisor and Wingman interior lightbars for the CVPI:
We have added new user profile fields for Discord servers, Paypal Donation links and Patreon pages. These links and the links to your website and YouTube channel will be shown next to your files in our filebase and in your showroom threads.
In addition to the existing fields, we have added new fields for buymeacoffee.com and Ko-fi.
By using the move tool with the "Move Axes only" option enabled or by centering the axis to the object.
Those are the coronas ELS renders to make sure lights are still visible at higher distances. They're automatically placed at the axis of the extra, the color is chosen based on the color set for the extra in the VCF. You should move your axes to the position of the light itself. Note that even with properly placed axes, ELS coronas may be visible through mesh and pointing in the wrong direction, which is simply yet another shortcoming of ELS.
You need to set an existing audioNameHash. The tag may only be empty if the name is identical to the name of the model.
The game will always force 8 characters, the only way to change the format is to use external scripts such as this one: https://www.gta5-mods.com/scripts/license-plate-changer
The color of license plates is set in the carcols for each license plate by the FontColor value. It's a hex code starting with 0x and the opacity, which should be fully opaque (FF) for license plate text.
In the future, as per our forum guidelines, please make sure to choose comprehensible titles for your issues.
Your file list are the default DLCs by the game, this is absolutely correct and intended. Many mod authors set up their addon vehicles to use a DLC, in that case it'll be enough to copy the DLC and its folder to the dlcpacks folder and add its name to the dlclist.xml. Note that the name of the DLC folder has to match the name set in the DLC, which is usually provided by the mod author.
You just need to assign these lights to the vehicle_lightsemissive shader without any light type ID set. They will automatically turn on whenever the engine is on.
According to the error message, the .yft file is too big. It is not affected by textures. However, considering the reported file size is absurdly high, there is likely a different reason, such as a corrupted file for example.
You have too many hierarchy elements, the limit is 128.
Rotating the dummy will not work.
As I said before, it's an ELS bug. If the dummy has a positive Z-axis position, the light will point to the rear. This cannot be changed, you can just move the dummy somewhere behind the axis as Sova said.
As you're using an extra, I'm assuming you're talking about ELS? If so, it's an ELS bug that happens whenever the dummy is positioned in the front of a car (negative Z-axis) and cannot be avoided.
When copying emissives from other lights, it'll be necessary to set the ID to 0 to make sure it's no longer affected by the original light. If by flickering you mean z-fighting, make sure that your new emissive is slightly in front of the original one.
Other than that, there shouldn't be any differences compared to any other lights.
As far as I know, those scripts are typically set up to switch between modkits for each digit. I'm unable to help with that, as I have no experience using modkits at all, but you may be able to find other tutorials on how to create those.
