Looks great!!! Is this going to be a 2nd version or is this just going to be a submod sort of thing?

 

No, it's just going to be another update, like v0.6 or something.

Nice...

Do you plan on ever making a version 2?

[The Loot]

Technically, we haven't reached Version 1 just yet.

Any updates since the last hoppah?

[Hoppah]

Soon. I am working on new vehicles for the modification at the moment. Once they're finished I'll post more information and screenshots.

 

[Hoppah]

Okey, before I'm going to post new information about vehicles first something else.

 

I've succesfully added a limited water supply function to the mod, which means the local fire truck and the TFFT have a functional water tank which can run empty so you will not be able to put out fires with them anymore.

As you can see, there is an information panel which shows the current tank volume of the TFFT in gallons. When using the hose connections and/or the water cannons the watertank of the TFFT will empty in a few minutes. Using more hoses or even a combination of hoses ánd the water cannon will empty the tank much faster ofcourse. However, you can connect a hydrant to the trucks which will serve as water supply to fill the water tank again. It works pretty smooth so far, but I still need to test it more extensively.

 

Information about new vehicles will follow soon!

Niceeeeeeeee

[Fred03]

GREAT!! What's next? Cars pulling to the side of the road?

[ghp010498]

Nice job, Will there be added hydrants too the game?

Or possibly the addition of dump tanks maybe? (Deployed from the TFFT, obviously)

Well I like the idea, but fighting fires isn't really a big part of this mod, so I'll leave it like this for now. I added this because I wanted to try this functionality out myself and it seems to work fine. It does make my mod even more unique and more challenging in case you do gotta fight a fire. Once I'm sure the limited water supply works flawlessly, I may take a look at other stuff which take use of this functionality or the base of it too. Another idea would be limited oxygen tanks for the fire fighters with SCBA gear or even limited fuel tanks for ALL playable vehicles.

that would be cool

Very nice, are you going to make this scrip available for other modders or keep it to yourself for a while?

I may release some kind of test mod for the interested people. However, it's not like you can just copy and paste the code in any other mod. The script is designed for specific vehicles in the US Army Mod (1 TFFT, 2 local fire trucks) and is integrated in the missionscript. Unless you have experience in scripting it would be damn hard to use this in other mods. 

[Fred03]

Bummer, would be great to see this in every mod but at least it in this mod!

yeah I can imagine it'd be a royal pain to get it in any other mod, it's up to hoppah how open source he wishes to be, but if it is made available I and many others will definitely be trying to work it into freeplay.

Nice update and good work with the limited water supply

Looking great so far! What kind of vehicle is that behind the army jeep?
