Extended lights mod for NFS 3
After sending my "Sirens mod", I realised that I could add much more to it, but needed to change the syntax. So I quickly pulled it out to avoid gaining any traction.
The purpose of this patch is allowing for a very wide degree of customisation of dummy lights, as well as adding new functions not present in the original game.
FEATURES:
Added hazard light type: these activate when you get a ticket, cop ticket someone, or for traffic, when there is a chase nearby.
- Added marker and DRL functions.
Added reverse lights - these activate when... well.. you set reverse gear. Wow.
- Has strobing capabilities.
- Has quick flashing strobe option.
Added High Beams type: these headlights activate when high lights are on, instead of lows and highs.
- Has DRL options, for small and large beam type.
- Has quick flashing strobe option.
Added Marker type: these tiny lights simply mark the car's position or type.
- Has DRL option.
- Has strobing capabilities.
- Has Pulse strobe option.
- Has quick flashing strobe option.
Expanded the taillight type into different sub-classes and added extra features:
- Marker only - these won't boost brightness when brakes are activated.
- Brake only - these will only activate when brakes are activated.
- Foglight - these will only activate when it's raining.
- Normal - the standard two function taillight present in NFS3.
- Hazard light functionality option - any taillight can set to double duty as hazard light. Brake will be disabled for this.
- "Rain light" option - flashing quickly. Better paired with Foglight type, meant for race cars.
Added features into Headlamp type:
- Foglight option - to make them only turn on with weather
- Non-high beams option - will avoid boosting brightness when high beams are on.
- Strobe Only option - will only turn on for strobing duty.
- DRL options, for low+high and low only configurations.
- Has quick flashing strobe option, for both normal and strobe-only configurations.
Added features into Siren type:
- Always on option - will be always turned on.
- Has Patrol strobing option - when off, will flash once from time to time.
- Has quick flashing strobe option.
Added final size multiplier
Added final brightness multiplier
Default colours have been tweaked to better match halogen type lght sources, which will be seen even with vanilla cars. But more important than that, is that there's now also a palette of 26 possible colours for any type of light.
TO-DO list:
Add the two final multipliers to middle renderer, as well as fixing markers.

Visitor Comments
Did you patch the road reflections to match the dummy color or did they already implement that back in 1998? Because nfs4 has only red, blue and white road reflections i think. Even though you could always create a purple light dummy but it's road reflection is always white.. How stupid
Yes, the patch modifies those as well (the pics with the sirens show it). For the NFS4 patch I didn't got to work on that part, but I left the important addresses in the cheat table for anyone willing to, basically, takeover those routines and make them read the colour selection routine instead, ending the hardcoded nightmare.
