Unfortunately, not everybody was so lucky during the last hurricane

But they've already cleaned up the mess and keep building new homes for those who lost theirs













Author of those w.i.p. houses ^^ should be skaihof if I'm not wrong.

Oh and I also thought I could build my own stripmall (so that I don't have to use too much from LA Mod), here it is:




Don't forget the pics in my post above

Not sure if this has been asked, but how are the fd engines and ambulances going to be staffed? With there be a serperate emt model or will there be just ffs in there turnout gear? If its a separate uniform will there be an option to change into turnout gear?

[rettungstier]

i haven't done any person skin yet, BUT the plan is to make a seperate ems model with paramedic skills, one ff model with paramedic skills and one ff with emt skills.

the fire engines will be staffed with only emt ff's (BLS engine) or with only paramedic ff's (ALS engine)

there will be only one type of ambulances in version 1.0, staffef with two paramedics.

the beach patrol units will be equal to BLS emt's but will have "call random ambulance", "call random police unit" and "call random fire engine" commands. they will also be able to rescue people off the water.
so you will probably have to call a beach patrol unit (maybe in later versions a special sheriff unit) to rescue people from drowning

another feature that i've planned was a alarming/dispatch system like in Winterberg mod (much more simple though).
a mixture between LA mod and Winterberg maybe so that you at least got a limited amount of units which are stationed on the map or will come from neighbour counties/cities.


that's all for now
more visual updates to come soon!

[rettungstier]

hey!

thank you! i can assure you that more person skins are w.i.p. right now!

a just found a way to make person skins a lot more detailed.

first i wanna complete the police units, then go over to ems and finally make the ff's. i'll also start to work on the fire dept. vehicles next week and of course do some mapping in between.

Edit the v3o to read png and then make your skins in png, then increase the pixel ratio for a better pixel depth. S'what I do anyway haha

[Blkasp]

Everything is coming together really good I love your concepts.

I kind of do the same I think. I unpack the original *.dds file, convert it with dds-converter to *.bmp or *.png and open it in photoshop.
Most of the time these original skins are have size of 128x128 or 256x256 pixels.
Then I open a new file in photoshop with size 512x512 pixel, 72 dpi, and copy and paste the orignal skin (which of course is a quarter the size of the new file)
Here comes the actual "trick" - I adjust the skin to the new size, scale it and save those changes. After Editing I save the bigger skin-image with the name of the original one, reconvert it to *.dds and ...done

Aye but for even better quality if you save as png there isnt as much distortion on the skin else other than that I do the same
