Hey Marshall, I saw some updates on Facebook do you think you could share some new info to the forum?

Hey Marshall, I saw some updates on Facebook do you think you could share some new info to the forum?

There's not much to say about the Ravenna mod at the moment. Besides all of the volunteer vehicles within the Ravenna submod will be removed.

The info you saw was about the Charlestown submod. Info on that:

 

The Charlestown submod is more than halfway completed. I may be adding only a few more volunteer units, and the rest will be mutual aid units. My personal vehicle was created in EM4 and is now in the Charlestown submod! The '91 Jeep Cherokee! I even added my lights to the vehicle as best as I could. Although I could not add all of them. The tanker in the submod (the truck between 1314 and 2313) will be replaced with an actual tanker model. The limited water supply is currently being added as best as I can. I'm running into a few barriers that are holding me back. If I cannot add this logic into the submod, the submod will remain private and not released.

Sounds cool

[CFDDIVE11]

Wait so charleston is going to be released and Ravenna is not going to be?

[Fred03]

Charleston will be released if Marshall can implement the limited water supply logic, if he can't he's going to keep it as a private mod.

 

Ravenna will be released once the RCMP mod (?) is released OR he gets permission to release his mod using the models he used OR he replaces those models with models already in use.

 

As I understand it anyway.

cant wait!!!!!!!!

[Fred03]

Speaking of how's the mod coming?

[jamnj88]

you should still relaease it even if you cant get the water supply working alot of people might not want to deal with the water supply script

[patvmru]

As far as I'm aware he's never said he would not release it at all

Hey Marshall!

 

I dont know if Portage County Sheriff has its own crime scene unit or if you would want to put one in this mod, But if you need inspiration for one, here is Summit County's CSI truck to base it off of:

Thank you, thank you very much! I will look into it!!

What's the word on the mod anyway Marshall?

[Marshall8946]

The mod is still in development. Work and life are always put first and highest priority. I haven't been able to work on the mod for some time due to both. No matter what, this mod will end up being released. Whether it is released as an alpha, which means it wont be finished but it is still playable. Or it is released fully. The only issue that is completely holding me back is the bunker gear scripts. Because the fire station is supposed to be an 'open house' the FFs are initially spawned with their station/work clothes. The next option is to have them put on bunker gear. But that is where it ends. They do not have the ability to have SCBA which absolutely kills the realism effect. Everything is fully playable with only a few known bugs(which are being eliminated). Here's how I set everything up. Keep in mind this was done a long time ago before I knew and had the knowledge I do now.

The model and skins are replaced. This is how I did it:

Station clothes > Bunker gear

Bunker gear > SCBA

It was simply replacing the skin and model files. Which is easily able to be re-set. This way the FFs could gear up into the bunker gear. I still have to tweak sound files to get everything aligned. But that is the only thing keeping this mod from being able to be released finished. Everything else is simply side work I would personally like to finish. I'm still looking at converting the models from the ones I cant use, to ones I can. This way I have full control on when the release is. I have been offered much help with the mod, but unfortunately no one can help me. Converting the models requires new lighting and skinning, which I am extremely picky at. 

The Charlestown submod is halted. By the looks of it, it wont be released at all. It will remain private and just for show. The limited water supply was added and works. But with the way the logic works, I now cannot get the vehicles to return to the station.

 

If any of this is scrambled or dont make sense, I'm sorry. I'm in some what of a hurry.

 nice marshall im likeing ur progress keep it up!!

[fireengine]

I have a question, what mod or map is going to be required to use this sub mod like LA Mod Version 2.0 or something like that or will this be a standalone mod. Please let me know. Thanks a lot!

[Marshall8946]

This is a standalone mod. When you go to download it, you will be simply placing the main files in your mods files. Some sound files will also need to be placed in the data folder. Everything will be linked accordingly. All you'll have to do is a simple copy and paste.
