Of course its not intentional, but so far no one else has the problem. I suggest making sure you have all 4 patches installed. I dont believe, off hand, any tweak spawning time but give it a try. Maybe Ill tweak spawn times slightly in the next patch(5) but so far your the only one with the problem.

What is this compatable with? I have AUS and LEDlightbar 1.8. Is it compatable with them?

Read the first post of the thread. You tell me?

well why call it a large ambulance then if you look up the definition of ambulance it says "An ambulance is a vehicle for transportation of sick or injured people to, from or between places of treatment for an illness or injury" so its hard to understand when the creater names the vehicles wrong and also if it isnt for transporting anybody how come when you highlight it has 2 places for casualty's

[keepachris]

Update your video card drivers, if that doesnt work, post a logfile and dxdiag.


Its not an ambulance; it doesnt transport patients. Why is that so hard to understand? It is like a USAR or HES. Its a Rescue Truck. It carries tools. It carries Fire Personnel. It does not transport injured people. Does the USAR carry patients? No. Does a HES carry patients? No. Because there rescue trucks.

You said the same crap just 2 pages ago. In regards to having space for 2 patients, I forgot to edit the unit name and the unit xml. Fucking sue me. I forgot two change two little things among the 50 other changes I made and trying to work on w00d map in the process of fixing up bugs for this. I might change these things in the patch 5, maybe not.If you just read the read me and noted that changes you would have already known rather then bitching here.

Moving on patch 5 might be late due to the holiday weekend and trying to get my truck fixed.

great work 4x4 love the mod. not really sure if its a bug or intentional but at FS1 when the BC spawn and EMS supervisor spawn there are no chiefs or supervisors present, i have an FF/EMT in the BC truck and 2 ff/emts in the ems supervisor car.

This happens to me too. It turns out they just get stopped at the door they spawn from. If you select-drag around the door near the BN Chief car, you'll select them both and be able to put them in their select cars. It only happens to me when the game first starts up, and then I put the EMS Supervisor on patroll after, so it's not an issue for me

[Xplorer4x4]

Alright thanks for the report swatlord. I will tweak the spawn times for the bc and ems supervisor when I get home tonight if I'm not to tired. Is everything spawning in FS1 ok? That should be the worst since there's like 50,000 personel spawning.

The only thing I've had close enough to a problem is that. I don't alarm ST1, so I don't get the pileup at the SWR. I usually treat ST1 like a fully staffed station and ST2 more like a volunteer station. If anything happens that I'll need ST2 for, I alarm the whole thing since I'll probably need all the units anyway.

You mention that you would add different light force commands to the BN Chief and EMS Supervisor. This isn't listed on your first post and I want to make sure there isn't any confusion; is it included with the current patch?

Hey Xplorer,

I just wanted to thank you for all the hard work on this submod, as it is one of the best I have played in a very long time.

I did notice a few things, and I am running all the patches thru 4.1 and also the ambulance fix files. I saw the reports about the ambulances in Station 1 not being staffed correctly on occasion and it does happen to me also but I did notice a pattern.

When you have the ambulances sitting empty and station 1 and you use the batallion chief to request an ALS Ambulance respond, only the stretcher crew will run out from the back room. If I alarm the whole station then I will consistantly get the correct staffing as per your patch that you released. So I wonder if the issue is in the Battalion chief call cmd and has nothing to do with your script that you released. I'm not very good with modding, so if this is known already I apologize in advance.

I also have the Marked LAPD Impala missing all its decals, I even uninstalled the mod and started over from scratch, Just see a white box where the logos should be.

It is known and set up intentionally to do that

I guess I don't really understand. I can see if you didn't install the script mod for ambulance staffing so that it only sends you the two paramedics no matter what. But why would it not always send the three ff/pms no matter how you requested it once you install that patch.

Xplorer set up and alternate script. the original mod has it set up to send to FF/PM's when alarmed and a PM stretcher crew when requested form the BN Chief, EMS Supervisor, or police. You have to install the script manually if you want it that way

Right, I get what your saying there. And I did install his script changes manually from his Ambulance_fix download in the first post. But like I said, when the game starts, I have the Stretcher crew and 1 Paramedic staffing each ALS unit in Station 1(like the script description said it should be). But once that unit returns to quarters after its first use and the crew leaves it, if I use the Battalion Chief to request it to respond to the incident I will only get the stretcher crew when it arrives. However if I alarm the whole station to restaff the empty rigs then I will get the stretcher crew and the Paramedic again like the script said they should be staffed.

Ah, I see. I don't know what to tell you there.

I forgot to include a fix for when the BC or EMS Supervisor calls the ambulance. That was how it was set up in the submod because I use my ALS Engine(2 Medics),EMS Supervisor(2 medics), and 1 ALS Ambulance as my primary resources for auto accidents(for example) Thats gives me 6 Medics on scene and I can call ambulances as needed, and by the time the additional ambulances come, all I need is some one to throw them into an ambo and haul them to the hospital. I got home sooner then expected(long story), so I will try to get the patch 5 out, and fix the issue with the BC for the alternate scripts.

The patch will alter spawn times a bit to fix the issues mentioned. Please do not hesitate to report bugs guys. Im happy to fix them. I cant find all these bugs if no one reports them.

Thanks again Xplorer for all your hard work. This Submod is amazing and from some of the pictures I have seen in other threads this is only the beginning. I can't wait. It has brought me back to playing the game regularly.

[Xplorer4x4]

Me to.

If you guys enjoy it, thats gratitude enough for me. Just for the record I dont mind bug reports or questions(that havent been answered), I just dont appreciate people throwing a fit because the Large Rescue Ambulance is Called an Ambulance and not a Rescue Truck. Asking would have been one thing,constructive criticism another but that didnt appear to be the case imo.

Anywas, I have updated the ambulance fix to include calling a medic or emt + stretcher crew Grab Ambulance.Fix2.zip from the first post. Patch 5 will be released in the next few hours if everything goes right.

[quasar3210]

Oh before I forget.

I had also noticed the Helipad on top of the building used as the LAPP station. Is there supposed to be an helicopter available to land there, or is just a decoration. Just curious.
