I love this mod, this is probably the best mod I've played.  Is it possible to add more fire hydrants?  I think at least one should be placed out of every business and a couple for the residential areas, then some spaced out along the rural areas, just like in real life.  This will also give the firemen more areas to fill-up their tanks on their trucks.  Keep up the great work, this mod is great.

In real life in a raual area there aren't a fire hydrant outside of every business( even in a big city ), defently not just randomly on the road, and in some places there are no hydrants at all, so I think for a community like this there are just enough hydrants and if you having trouble with water there are two things u can do 1: if thirds a big fire buy 3 or 4 tankers and run them back and forth or 2: edit the water supply script and have the engines/ tankers carry more water! BUT IN ALL I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE WOULD AGREE THAT MORE HYDRANTS aren't NEEDED! P.s. sorry for caps not meant

In your "Montana Mod 2.0" folder that you downloaded, open the Bug Report Form, fill it out in Microsoft Word, save it somewhere. Open up your email and attach the edited Bug Report Form along with your logfile (in your game directory where you save mods).

A very minor bug but it seems i am only getting two of the MVA's on the map ccar4 and 5 after playing well over five hours

This is something that can't be fixed. EM4 has an issue where it only loads 2 or 3 of the same car accidents in order to preserve memory. Its a harcoded bug that affects many mods that I play personally. Maybe people with super awesome computers don't experience this.


And I have possibly found the callpatrolcar bug for everyone experiencing it. It is caused by the MHP patrol car being spawned out of the virtual object that is set for it.

All traffic issues have been fixed for the upcoming patch. And yes, we're going to implement control over POVs eventually, doubt it will be in this immediate patch though.

 

 

Was that when calling it via the CallTowTruck command, or from the unit menu?

from the CallTowTruck command on the police officer

Yeah, its the spawn VO being too close to the no vehicles VO. Has been fixed.

[the wolfhunter]

good to know! looking forward for the next patch

[MFDHoward]

Loved how I had a shop lifting turn into a officer involved shooting...got out of the cruiser and suspect pulled a gun and exchanged fire...got the officer back in the car and reversed out of there and called more officers...then moved in to only shoot and kill the suspect. Sad day. lol

You need to start hose running

I thought we were supposed to e-mail the bugs on the bug report.

Is there any chance of maybe, in future versions, being able to draft out of the river or a pond? It would be cool to be able to have a tanker draft out of the water and maybe fill one of the portable ponds which other tankers could use to draft out of.

Great work guys

Very interesting. Do you mean pump water out of a pond or river? That would be so cool and very useful since the map has a river running through it.
I don't know if this is even possible in EM4, but I'm sure I can, or the scripting gods like Hoppah can figure this one out.

I would think you'd just need to steal the hydrant script and insert it into the pond object..

Not quite. One would have to figure out a dozen other things such as location of the hose, the point a FF needs to go to so he can insert the hose into the water.
If another mod has this, I could 'borrow' the concept and rewrite it under different methods. We'll see.

What about "sinking" a hydrant near the edge if the pond and they simply ho up to it with the hose as normal?

Sinking it would prevent the player from being able to select it. Maybe via rapid deployment, but that command might be removed in later versions of the mod since I have managed to slow down the fires by around 60%.

Perhaps setting a separate piece of code for it that isn't tied to rapid deployment or attachfirehose? Maybe setting it up so that the FF goes to the shore, then the game attaches the hose into the water? I'm not even sure if the game engine will let me do that. Can any scripting gods help me?
