Read the thread, and it was all over the forum.

I don't really read the anouncements. I'm sorry but I could care less about them...

Sounds like you need to read your own philosophy there and apply it to your self. I made simple statements. No need to cry a river about it.

I understand, but when you add things like "sheesh" and "sit back and let him do his thing" you sound like you're always right and I'm always wrong. You're a good person and you tell it like it is but you make it seem like you always have to be a step ahead.

Personally, I'm done with this. I'm in no mood to explain myself over the internet. I'm applying this very simple motivational saying to this post;

Like I said...it was all over the forum so you dont have to read the announcements.

Its not about right or wrong. Its kind of like yelling at some one for screwing up before they screw up, and yet youre talking about being a step ahead. He hasnt done anything yet..

It takes two people to make an argument, well unless you have split personality lol, so its rather ironic you post that, but hey if that makes you feel better or cool, enjoy it.

Hey Occram, you're back! Here's some feedback: the lights on the ladder are a little slow. Other than that, I really like them. I have PRL for my FD units execpt for HAZMAT, and your submod for all my PD cars. Good job!

05/19/2010 Update! I will most likely be completing my submod in 3 parts. The vast bulk of most commonly used vehicles will be finished up in Part 2. The remainder of vehicles will be finished in Part 3. The following vehicles will be released in Part 2, which is now in progress. Due to how the Tiller and Heavy Rescue Crane work in game, these vehicles may be pushed back to Part 3 due to their complexity to add lighting...

05/14/2010 Update! The submod was approved and I am currently finishing up the last of the vehicles that need to be updated. The submod will be all-inclusive of the original LA Mod 2.0 vehicles and a few of the "Additional Units" will also be included. To make good on my promise, I will finish the rest of the "Additional Units" at a later time. Keep your eyes peeled, I'm currently looking at Saturday night for a release.


05/11/2010 Update! Quick update before work! I have another idea regarding this video but I don't have time... Please just check out the video and leave me some feedback for when I get back from the office...



---------- Submod Information ----------

I've enjoyed playing Hoppah's LA Mod for quite awhile now and have been working on my own personal emergency lighting for the mod for about as long. I feel my work is pretty high quality and I hope you'll all agree. Take a look at the sample videos below and tell me what you think. I'd like to get permission from Hoppah to release this modification to the public. I've gotten permission and the submod will be released.

This mod features;

Accurate visual reproductions of incandescent, rotator, strobe and LED type warning lights
Realistic patterns and flashes (Such as short flash, short flash, long flash for LED)
Realistic reproduction of rotators with few resources (My vehicles don't require 140+ coronas, slowing your computer and/or FPS)
Realistic blending of lighting types and flash patterns to give vehicles variety and uniqueness
Some radiation on vehicles are available but may be disabled (Radiation has a tendency to overlap in game and create a "whiteout" effect)

Some things to come;
Realistic light radiation with an effective workaround for "whiteout" when radiation sources are in a small area

On the drawing board;
Rotator radiation (I've done this in-game and have a few working prototypes, not quite there yet)

-Check out the Unmarked CV & Slicktop CV in this video...


-Look closely at the lightbar on the ALS engine and USAR rig for the rotator lightbars. Also the front LED lighting on the BLS engine. The yellow rotators on the back of the BLS engine are a good example. There is a good example of strobes on the side of the Water Tender also...


-The BLS Ambulance has rotators and LEDs...


Tell me what you think... If you like it, I do hope to release this if Hoppah gives me permission. soon!

Thank you,
Occram~

I have one known problem. The problem I have is that the EMS car looks messed up, and all I need is someone to help me with the EMS supervisor car. I have the files zipped into my documents, but I need help with getting it into the game like the instructions you did with this submod.

THANKS

I can't wait until Part 2! Are you gonna post vids?

[cptchilphil]

i forgot ur submod makes the ems supervisor look like a smaxh up car lol

and to boost you up i like ur light better then prl so keep up the good work cant wait for part 2

[TacticalRooster22]

Yeah, PRL overdoes it. I still use their lights for my FD, though.

[occram]

I probably won't be releasing videos of part 2 prior to release. It'll probably just be a surprise release with little or no notice. =)

Occram~

[TacticalRooster22]

OK. Still, can't wait to see!

[TacticalRooster22]

I know. It's my favorite of all his cars.

[occram]

Amazing!

How on earth did you create a lighting package for the under cover police car that changes light patterns?? Ive been trying to design it, and I can not even come close to the great job you did. Any hints???

THANKS

Each flash of an individual light on the rear deck is a separate light source with it's own specific time to flash during the cycle to create the complex pattern piece by piece. I created a grid with time(x) and lights(y). In other words, it's very resource intensive and time consuming. Thank you so much for your kind words, it makes the hard work worth the time and effort. =)

are you going to fix it up to make it realistic?
