That's the new thing posted - the LA Mod 2.1 & AUS 2.1 unpacked textures.

These will make it far easier to create reskins of LA Mod and AUS vehicles, objects, persons and buildings. Best yet, you can just drag and drop them straight into your LA Mod 2.1 installation folder (assuming it is a fresh install and does not have texture changes already) and play / edit without any further changes.

I'm thinking (for a lark) I might extend the military in my copy. Perhaps a military bomb disposal team, desert colour trucks, casual and desert military uniforms.

I really can't wait until the next release of Emergency Configurator

I need a little bit of help, I can't figure it out. I can't find a CFg file.

I have been off for quite a while, as I am sure you have noticed, but I am now working on it again. I'm improving a lot of existing elements, like the XML interface, to reduce errors and make it easier for me as a developer.

 

I will be adding the following features (I am designing everything but the UI from scratch:

• Screen Resolution
• Camera Angle
• Mod Launcher
• Freeplay / Campaign Events and basic parameters (time, budget, earnings)

The modding suite... well, that will take a while. I have lots of components for it, like the emergency 4 button generator I coded a while back, but it will be complicated.

 

Please let me know what other things you want to be able to change with the new version of the Emergency 4 Configurator and I will do my best to include them.

Heyy,

Glad to see you back! Your tool is very usefull and has a big potential!

[Handsup!]

Any updates man?

[mindcore]

Any updates man?

 

Hmm, I've had all my college work and everything. Main updates are that I have some new concepts and a new GUI that are in progress, and that I've finally realized that using a big font on a forum looks goofy (hence my normal sized text).

 

All updates will be posted on Twitter with the hashtag #emergency4configurator (which is a very long hashtag XD)

 

EDIT: I noticed that some people have mentioned problems with multiplayer when using this. This is indeed because there is a checksum function to make sure that all players have the same files, preventing crashes. I might try and figure out some kind of synchronisation feature, or something to easily export/import configuration changes - possibly even game profiles. This is all very complicated to code, though.

Haha. I probably dont have it as bad as you

[rdkeeney]

I was wondering if it would be possible to have a sort of event "controller". I am a big fan of this configurator, but I would LOVE to see a sort of controller where you could trigger the specific event you want one at a time and in-game. This way you could do the event you wanted to at that time and not have to worry about other events triggering before you are done and ready for the next. Does such a thing exist as of yet? Is this even possible? Thanks all!!

Also, I think we all need a mod launcher so to speak. I think if you can incorporate a way for that program to read what mods the game has installed and to give it the ability to launch them from the configurator, it would really ease the troubles of some folks!

[billyyank]

The Configurator doesn't work for me. Every time I try to save the settings, a dialog box comes up that says the pathway to the .cfg file is denied. My only option is to quit without saving.

[mindcore]

Okay. I've not been able to dedicate much time at all to the project, unfortunately, but I'm going to try and do some more work now.

So, I shall begin by responding to the recent(ish) replies regarding the Configurator.

The Configurator has to be run as Administrator, billyyank, or be given some kind of authority over the files to allow it to edit them. Try running it as Administrator (right click and Run as Administrator), let me know if that works. The next version will launch as Administrator by default.

Mod launcher? I absolutely will be including that, in fact, I'm planning on putting one together and releasing that seperately to keep you guys going while I work on the next verson of the Configurator.

An event controller? That's not a bad idea, although I'm not sure how to make it. It would require some kind of memory injection, I expect - I'll certainly take a look into it, it might not be possible, but then again it might be. If I can inject the correct thing into the memory it should be able to trigger any event I want. I looked at using scripts for this, but it seems that events are hard-coded into the actual game itself.

Yes, running as Admin works fine. Thanks.

Another question. How do I turn down the traffic frequency?

[mindcore]

Traffic frequency wasn't something I included in it, although I will be adding it. There are a lot of things that will be different in the new version, for example, presets (hopefully ones you can save), like Low, Medium and High traffic.

When i run this on administrator and click save it gives me this error: Unhandled exception has occurred in your application. The requested operation cannot be preformed on a file with a user-mapped section open. what do i do? i tried running administrator when you told billyyank to. but i get this problem when i do run administrator. help!

[pilot555189]

when i run administrator, i get another unhandled exception has occurred error. It says: The requested operation cannot be preformed on a file with a user-mapped section open. please help!

[mindcore]

Okay, well, there are quite a few issues currently with the software. I'm rewriting it from scratch, covering all bases, to try and ensure there are no more glitches and problems.

 

Problem I'm having - which I am coping with, though - is that I'm a web developer, not a software developer. So I can write this entire thing, fully working, in PHP, but I don't exactly have a full knowlege of VB.net or C#.Net. But I will get it done eventually.

[mcflame1]
