Very funny. The link to the original video is below. This guy is an Arizona FF and also has some other pretty good videos, one of them making fun of cops.

Where is the materials file located? I want to slow down the fire spread.

In the "Specs" folder.

If i recall correctly Harbor city mod those not come with on and uses the default one.

I'm having a slight problem using this in multiplayer (On the Steam version). (version 4.5.2)

 

The Problem: only 1-2 firemen will use the hoses while the others just stand around, and 9/10 they'll spray for 1 second and then stop. Can't attach hoses to trucks, medical can't seem to pick up bodies, etc Essentially there's a lot of missing functions. I have warned those I was playing with to not click "Patrol" in any vehicle, nor as police, "right click" to pull over people because I heard those cause problems (but unsure of what problems)

 

What Worked In The Past: I also have a retail version (non-steam) installed in a seperate folder with an older Harbor City mod (v4.3) that I used to play with some other buddies, and we never experienced any issues.

 

So I'm just wondering if it's a conflict with Steam? Because the default EM4/911FR endless play MP works just fine. It's just with the mod active, things seem to go a little screwy so I was wondering if it's a conflict with Steam, or maybe something is different in the update(s) ... like I said I don't know, I just know there's an issue and would really really love it for some help ^_^

I have played Harbor city mod with steam version of 911 with no almost as long as there been a steam version. have had non of the above issues. On the fire fighter stopping to spray? Do you have a guy assigned to man the pump on engine?

[Patrick De Ruiter]

I downloaded it a few days ago but mine keeps crashing, i have not actively paid attention to the when's yet. Like the last time which was a couple of minutes ago it crashed when i sent 4 trucks (2 engines and 2 ladders) to a fire, but sunday i had no trouble when i sent all engines to a out of control fire. It is also not really playtime depending.

I also experience various issues that where not present in the previous version. Especially with firetrucks (limited water supply), after connecting the hose to a fire hydrant, a lot of the time it will not disconnect anymore, which makes your fire engine useless... (it justs sits there with a nice yellow line between the truck and the hydrant, tried all buttons and stuff, nothing helped). This occurs for both rapid deployment and manual assignment; connecting goes fine, disconnecting causes issues.

 

EDIT; attached image shows how it should be, but in these cases the 'disconnect' button is not there. Maybe only the original fireman can do this? What if he is stuck / dead?

 

We just played a session for 2 or 3 hours and experienced the Engineer HQ not working (not able to unload towed vehicles), Hazmat tent becoming stuck (had to shoot it), not able to pick up some bodies; contaminated bodies that could not be cleaned nor by Hazmat nor by Coroners using the Hazmat truck or tent, unable to hoist a wreckage from the water during the bus accident mission and as said a lot of stuck fire trucks, so it makes all of it a bit annoying but don't get me wrong, i still think the mod is great! Just hoping these bugs can be squashed .

Yes only the original can disconnect.  It is a pain if for some reason that firefighter is killed.  I use that firefighter as the engineer to avoid having the truck get stuck.  If you use the water cannon the fire fighter manning the cannon is inside the vehicle.  That could lead to some of the same issue.

This could be an issue with the ladder trucks.  I found that if I put the ff in the basket and then hooked up a hose to the truck, my game would crash.  Make sure to have a hose connection established before using the water cannon on the ladders.

 

Sorry for the double post trying to get them merged.

Thank you I will try this, though this was the first time i used the ladders (i do station all units soon i start the game, so i will also try it without stationing the ladders til i need one)


I have played today without ladders on the map or even called them out once, it crashed again after a bit more than a hour of playing

Not sure what you mean. I've never had to have anyone 'man' anything. Just 1.) Get Hose from truck -> 2.) Attach hose to truck -> 3.) Fireman should automatically spray nearby fire; if not, move closer to a fire source and he should start spraying.

That's how it's always worked for me (vanilla, and the Harbor City mod in earlier versions). So I dunno. I could try verifying cache files, or re-installing, and try re-installing the mod via Mod Installer? Maybe that was my problem? (I only copied/pasted the mod folder into the data\mods folder where mods are usually stored anyways.

[gunswat]

In the most recent youdo require someone to pump the water.

yes that was before limit water was add to harbor city.  now you need one fire fighter to man the pumps.  It why all the fire engines have a crew of 4 now and not three like they use to.

[Fire/EMS]

The mod is design for mutli player experience for squad 55.  It tune to provide a channel when they play.   The mas casualty vehicle not on map for the same reason.  As it not on map for squad 55 when they play.  

[Danbuster96]

Just got this mod, and it is fantastic... but very difficult! Any ideas how to reduce the difficulty on the map while I get used to the game?

Hi, I have an issue, I got a call about a riot(people beating others up) I arrested all suspects and cleared all casualties away, yet the call does not clear, so more people come and start beating each other up again, I had to end up leaving cops and set of paramedics in that area and keep  checking back because it just doesn't end.Any ideas why? I googled but didn't see anyone else with this issue.

You didn't get everyone mate. If it is by the gas station then remember that the house still has people in the back still protesting
