Copying lights from one mod to another.

Is there a way to copy the light layouts on vehicles in one mod and transfer it to another mod without having to redo all the lights?

Maybe copying prototype file? I think is where all model editor info is saved. But you should change names and all that stuff...

In the lighting options click the 'copy all lights' button, then go to your new vehicle and click 'paste light'. Alternatively, as Alex said, copy the prototype file.

Hi again,

Here is a bit of context, I am trying to update my mod with vehicles from the kent mod (this version of my mod will NOT BE RELEASED), and I was just wondering is there like a easy way to transfer the already created lights in the kent mod as I do not have hours to spend on redoing the lights and the patterns.

As I have copies both the model and prototype folders into my mod but the lights still contain the base mods light patterns even on the new vehicles.

I think you have to change some root info inside the editor. Also, maybe creating first a prototype and then overwriting it is best option than just copy paste.
