[Discontinued] True Blue Emergency Vehicle Beacons

This mod is no longer useful, and will not work with game versions 1.32 or newer. As of 1.32, SCS have improved the blue light colour in the same way that this mod does. If anything, this mod is now inferior to the vanilla game. I apologize for not realizing this much earlier. You may unsubscribe and/or disable this mod and it will not "break" your game save.

This mod colour-corrects the blue beacons on all default AI (NPC) emergency vehicles that use blue beacons (police, fire, and ambulance). This is an ETS 2 version of an otherwise identical mod I previously made for American Truck Simulator.

The default blue colour looks somewhat purple-ish, and doesn't resemble most of the commonly used lights on real vehicles. This has become more apparent with the Special Transport DLC, since it includes special escorts by police vehicles. As well, SCS has recently changed all default beacons to now have a more realistic strobe effect.

This mod replaces that purple-ish hue to a bluer colour as seems to be more commonly seen on newer vehicles, especially those fitted with LEDs. Affects all AI emergency vehicles with blue beacons. Amber, white, red, or other beacons are unchanged. The vehicles themselves and the strobe flash effects are otherwise unchanged.

This mod DOES NOT add flashing beacons to your truck. However, if you also are using a mod that does add blue lights to your truck, this mod may or may not change their colour, depending on whether or not said mod includes its own flares or refers to the default ones.

This mod DOES NOT allow you to drive a police car, and like any mod that replaces default assets it IS NOT compatible with multiplayer. Questions for either of these will be ignored.

Compatible with other flare mods I've tested it with. I recommend placing this mod in higher priority above other flare mods in order to ensure the blue beacons aren't overwritten.

Thanks to Mr_Catweazle for testing and providing screenshots.

I have never charged money for my mods, and I don't plan on ever doing so. That said, if you enjoy my mods and would like to donate, your contribution to paypal.me/lonestranger is much appreciated.
