'Photon 2' essentially is now in development with the promise of some massive FPS gains due to how lighting is handled now. Instead of using individual sprites for each light a material is assigned to a certain part of the model allowing it to display the light instead. The last image on this post shows a bunch of photon lightbars on and still managing to get a solid 3 figure FPS. Could lead to some massive improvement on the server as a result.

@Noble are you a photon dev?

Noble is a photon dev

Yay, can't wait to start developing vehicles for the new version!

[Wesley Lawrence]

This sounds very, very good. Will new sirens also be a part of the new Photon version, or will they stay the same and is this mostly focussed on new mechanics for the lighting system?

How long did it take to make pretty much every car have ELS on LL?

[Cole]

I haven't done many vehicles for LL, that would be Goigle and Doctor Internet, but more done components for them. But from when I did do lighting, and put it on the workshop, it took maybe a day or less of setting up and it was good to go. As long as you know what you're doing, you can do it fairly quickly.

You can make Photon for a red/blue light in around maximal 60 mins.
Its nothing hard. 

What is time consuming is if you have tons of different options or a car made out of sprites (sprites are for example headlight wig wag)

Ik that a normal car can make 60 mins hence I’ve made a few but I mean with every light etc since you have soooooooo many options

With every light? A bit.
This took me around 4-5 hours. And its far from having eveything.

Wesley you need to take a seat, you look faint.

This looks really nice.
