How fast does does this modification load, dyson?

[Dyson]

well i did some not very scientific speed tests, the old mod took around the time it took me to wash up to load, the new version takes me the time it takes to make a ketchup sandwich and pour a glass of pepsi, then put the TV on. So a bit faster but nothing substantial the mod size is around 600 mb when compressed so..

Me and Rafael are considering turning this into a stand alone mod rather than naming it a submod. At current it features no LA units or vehicles and not a huge amount of models from the LA mod (no more than other mods named independent mods). The only things steming from the original LA mod still present in the mod we are working on really is the file structure and scripts, so we have decided we want to name this a full mod now (will look about getting it moved into the EN mods section) because I feel that as popular as the mod is, it has always been slightly disregarded as it isn't actually an independant mod.

So this is just a warning that the name of the mod will be changing.
Thanks

How about NY "the city that never sleeps" Mod


About the problem of the static or on movement traffic in Times Square I think maybe it would be better static, for realism and for avoiding problems in the crossroads and junctions, and if there is any incident like any fire, for avoiding thousand of car fires and explossions, maybe these cars should be stronger.

Well we're thinking along the lines of 'Manhattan Mod' or 'Emergency Manhattan' etc. But glad you approve of the idea and regardign traffic: I think that's the best idea to, still gonna test both ways, but its more likely the traffic will be static

If there was an airhorn siren you press it it go's on everytime you press it but not like siren like you drive and it go's or stays on

[Dyson]

I have been trying to make one, no luck though, scripts aren't my thing and every attempt I made has failed.. :/

But the traffic is going to be static in all the city or in some specific streets? You could make in places where could be problems with the traffic -like the problems of LA mod map-, or in streets where in the reality there is many traffic, like Times Square and so, and in other streets the traffic could be in movement. And then if so, for example, an especific street to the north would have static traffic and another one to the east in movement so when both street crosses there won't be any traffic problem caused by traffic lights: the lane in movement would work normally, respecting the traffic rules (would still be traffic lights controlling the traffic) and stopping for giving way to the other street's traffic ( the static one) but cause it isn't in movement it doesn't have to cross with the traffic in movement and there wouldn't be problems causing traffic collapse.

So I think that also in smaller streets, where an emergency vehicle haven't got space to drive along, there should be traffic in movement.

BTW, sorry for the long explanation, I still haven't got a really good english level so sometimes for me is a bit hard to explain

Better than my Spanish mate and yeah all traffic is moving except Times Square you'll see as we start releasing promo stuff

[BritishArmyReserveCadets]

maybe you could have the cars deleted around an area where an event is when the event happens?

See post #1 and we need ideas for campaign missions, I want to base them around the freeplay map, so you become very familiar with the map

"Manhattan Mod" Perfect!

That's the best so far, just looking for people's feedback, if it seems like a good idea I'll request the thread be moved and the name changed, p.s check post 1

I hate to say it but " I told you so". rofl I think it should stand out as a mod and not a sub mod. As per proper credit just mention in the credits something like "Original sub mod of LA mod" or something like that to credit your start.

PS I didn't double post. Someone just didn't get in the middle. rofl Scratch that! Thanks Dyson.

I can help out with some of the sirens if you like? I do have several EQ2B combos and maybe throw in some smart sirens too. A pa300 for the fdny ambulance and perhaps a Carson siren for one of your private hospital ambulances ( if you got any.)

Why not call this mod " Empire City's guardians" or " Empire City's first responders." or Mayr just use " Empire city" lol.

Empire city is a nick name for the NYC.

Checked out Post 1 already. Trying to find the poll someone mentioned though. Static traffic for TS did you mean human or car? Human I would think static for the most part maybe a few wanderers. Car traffic I would say flow. Lots of flow.

Missions? The steam pipe that exploded, the hurricane of the last week, hudson river's emergency landing, someone said a ferry collision, I really like that one, but the last two if you don't have choppers nor boats I don't think are possible.
And invented missions:
Two subway wagon that crashes, and one hangs from the elevated rails, so you have to rescue victims/attach the wagon before it falls.
A fire in Central Park, it almost would be a huge forest fire.
A shootout in the streets: you have to make sure the shootout place, stabilize and evacute victims, investige the place with the inspectors (FBI and so) and arrest the suspects. This one could be a freeplay mission.

Edit: another one: riots.
