Removing Flashing Ditchlights From DTG C40-8W

I was wondering if it would be at all possible to remove the flashing ditchlights whenever the horn is blown on the DTG C40-8W. I'm trying to keep the ditchlights at a solid state for a repaint I am doing, and flashing ditchlights would eat me up if I had them on the repaint.

Help would be very much appreciated. Thank you

From my understanding they are scripted in the lua\out file. So you can't edited the lights directly. There is no easy way to do it. You could rename the ditchlights and create new lights in their place but this could also break the lua script and cause every thing scripted not to work.

Okay, thank you for the information. If I wanted to try and create new lights, how might I be able to do that? I'm think this might be too complicated some I guess I could alpha out the texture for them.

!*don-know!*

Would like to see someone tackle this project, it would be nice to have a UP C40-8W with no flashing ditchlights.

I could tweak our Lua for the FDL set.

If you still have the old version before it updated it had solid lights. I'll see if I have the right file when I get home, I know I have both versions somewhere.

So I have both versions but exactly which file is it? In the engine script or the light animations?
