press f3 to release the cursor

if it doesn't work put
ph2_f3cursor_enable 1
in console then try again

Same thing happens with me.

same here

Whenever you open the Photon 2 menu and close it, you cannot move your camera around unless you restart the server since the game thinks the menu is open or something. Please fix unless I'm an idiot.

It's gone...... I don't know how, but I just can't find it

How to create my own car

When entering a multiplayer game,it gives an error and the livery and lights are gone......

Sure would be nice to have it updated so the wheels stay turned after leaving vehicle.

@schmal Ummm, i don't know. This happens with Simfphys cars mod, when i spawn a car and enter, when i press W the car just disappear and a dr.kleiner voice line can be heared like:
"Oh, fiddlesticks, What now?"

@extraguy72 try turning off subtractive rendering. That's the biggest difference in how lights are rendered in 2 versus 1.

@Annoying Bastard sorry. If you want to use Photon 2, you should subscribe to the "Starter Package" manually and the automatic downloads will stop. Otherwise you can disable the feature altogether with the command Creator mentioned. Or, it's also in the Photon 2 menu under the "Options" tab.

@ChetosPower that's okay, Photon 1 will continue to be supported indefinitely.

@jcredford thank you

@lleo42160 sounds like a conflicting addon or keybind?

Can someone help me, i spawn vehicles, but when i enter and press W, the car literally despawn automatically, how to fix that?

schmal i love you

photon 1 > photon 2

@Annoying Bastard It's downloading some required addons. If you want to disable it you can do ph2_enable_auto_download 0 in console

Everything is fine. Could you make light reflection for the dark area because when I drove my police car and the lightbar is blinking it did not brigth the area

Why the fuck is it downloading shit agaisnt my will

also is there any mods or settings to make the lights interact with the environment, like ray tracing and stuff

is there a good balance in the bloom editor too make it look like the old photon? for me it just seems too defined rather than the lights being more blurred like in the old photon.

is there going to be a cvpi photon 2 car coming?

my sheriff's office actually uses the same dual-tone as the DC metro police lol

I'm having problem with the mod, every time I launch a map my screen freezes and goes pink error screen. I have disabled other mods that gave me errors and disabled Photon 1 assets and kept the photon 2 requirements, is there other things i need or don't need?

Oh wow. Crazy to see DVI ingame. Great work again. Just playing around with the mod more.

Amazing work. DVI patterns possible?

Are there any tutorial videos on how to make a Photon 2 vehicle? (Which would also include the set up for regular lighting and turn signals) Because I have an interest to make some, but have no idea how to.

@BOOTY EXECUTIONER this is currently possible by editing your vehicle file code. That said, I know very few people can do this, so this is a feature under consideration

@Neoba are you confident about this? I know all other government vehicles use XMT tags, but I have never actually seen WSP use it. Instead they just have "WSP" as part of the plate.

@DOZZY as much as I would love to do this, I'm afraid it's beyond my field of expertise

@Lt AC130 Thank you for the updates.

@Anomaly Is this still happening? If so, are you using a main or dev version?

Whenever i spawn one of the included cars, it crashes and says "Engine Error" its so fucking annoying like omg

Found out the issue, happens whenever I play on x64 version of the game, ignore my last 5 comments.

Please, make car damage, and civill cars, and more realistic physics

Just a minor inaccuracy, the Washington State Police Caprice should be using XMT plates rather than regular civilian plates. Very subtle detail.

Is the option of when you initially had the sirens on, it stays on after you exit the vehicle? If not can you please add that feature?

I see errors for the vehicles, I looked for the req content but see nothing. Do i need CSS?

Some player are crashing when joining our server, do you have an idea why ?

how to sit on second or third place?

need more retro police cars (example crown vics with idk mx7000)

thanks @Schmal for this mod. I love it

@HazyTheory yes. I've been taking a break recently but they will resume

@CV-6 unfortunately Photon 1 vehicles need to be manually ported to Photon 2

@deffesii the latest Garry's Mod insider build (2024.09.09) made a breaking change. The issue should be fixed in today's release.

did i do something wrong? the photon 2 and 1 controller is white and blank?

Can This Addon Working On Some Use Photon 1 Vehicles?

will anymore cars come

@Purple yeah, unfortunately it's because input detection and window focus is very difficult with VGUI. If you need to move in-game while the window is up, just double click outside the window or press F3, and you will be able to move around normally again.

@elcartucho5566 you might have SGM's shared textures disabled?

@koziutek yes, there are several. You can join the Discord ( https://photon.lighting/discord ) and visit the #releases channel. Many creators post their Photon 2 addons there.

@DeuceAndAHalf what SGM said is true, but you can also change this option in main Photon 2 menu under the "Game" tab.

@SolarShooter yes, I made a video tutorial about it you can watch here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0q-Hdmeu9WQ

Is it possible to add lights to cars which are not supported in the list? for example you can put a light on a random car and activate it?

@DeuceAndAHalf hold 'E' or disable engine idling with the console command "ph2_engine_idle_enabled 0"

This may be a stupid question, but how do i shut the vehicles off? I get in and they turn on like usual, but i get out and they stay on
