I have to say, I am really enjoying this mod! The only other thing I would like to see is limited water script, (With the tanker and all).

Great Job!

I'm pretty close to releasing an optimized version of the Water Supply script along with a hopefully easy to understand step-by-step readme. Though I haven't implemented it just yet, I also have an idea on how to make the script optional, and to avoid any need for map editing, and it'll work in missions and hopefully multiplayer, too.

 

I'm sure Hoppah would love to see his script more widely used, and I'd enjoy making it more likely.

Good job guys great work but why didn't you guys add new emergency vehicles to the game like the Ford Explorer 2014 and the Chevrolet Impala 2014.

Limited water supply and fire alarms were slated for v3.0 release when I was still developing it. It will definitely go in if I make a v3. My only concern is performance. Limited water supply can be a bit taxing especially when we have lot of lights and other things going on in the mod.

Thanks. This mod was developed between December 2013 and February 2014. I don't believe those models were out for EM4 at the time. Even if they where, We really liked goog1967's Crown Vics so we just went with that.

Yea I was a little surprised that there was no limited water supply since some EOCs mod had it but never the less its a great mod im really enjoying it

Is V2 already out?

Is V2 already out?

This is v2.0. v1.0 was released YEARS ago to a private audience. At that time the mod was under a different name as well. It is not available publicly.

Oh ok I got ya, I love the quantum and velocity....I'm sure you can tell I'm a pierce fan lol

[Chris07]

Excellent video!

 

Just as a note, the mod has two gamemodes. The first is Fire/EMS and the other is Fire/EMS/Police. The difference? One has Police/TEC missions enabled, and the other doesn't. Just as a fair warning, Playing with all three mission types enabled is quite difficult in single player. If you identify yourself as an EM4 "Pro" I dare you to play Fire/EMS/Police on Hard....or even Medium.

Okay, so I've released a little maintenance release with a few goodies.

 

Changes since v2.0.3

 

 

Bug Fix: Fire engines had the "Deck Gun ON" command by default, requiring a user to click it twice before turning off the deck gun. The "Deck Gun OFF" command is now the default command, as it should be.

Bug Fix: North Eastern Patrol path should no longer get stuck in the hospital parking lot. While I advise against using patrol paths since they tend to jam up traffic, it is now fully operational for those who wish to use is.

Bug Fix: Fire units at Fire Station 83 (bottom right) should no longer go out the back of their station (through a closed gate) when responding to calls in the areas below it.

Bug Fix: Ambulances no longer compete for parking spaces when they arrive in quick succession. Each will go to a designated spot.

Optimization: I moved some virtual objects around the first ambulance parking spot at the hospital. Ambulances should park a little neater now in the first spot.

Optimization: Added a few barricade virtual objects around Fire Station 82 (top right) and EMS station 501 (Upper EMS station) to deter vehicles from taking B-Line paths to the hospital before going the proper way. Probably won't work, but I guess we'll see.

Removal: Vehicle in the water at the port floated on top of the water instead of being underwater. After realizing that you can't place an object under an "ocean" type liquid, I removed the event.

Removal: There was an ambient polygon around the small construction site next to the wash. It was flaky at best and at times seemed waaay too loud. So i removed it.

Addition: To compensate for the removal of the "vehicle in the water" mission, I added a second "vehicle over the side" type mission on the eastern hillside.

Addition: I made a little script adjustment to the Vehicle Redirect script so that when select Sheriff's cars use the redirect command, their primary lights will automatically shut off and only their redirect lights will be turned on. If you wish to redirect with primary lights on, you must manually re-engage the primary lights.

Addition: Added a couple of lights to the slicktop sheriff's cars and the SUV so that when their redirect lights are turned on, and their primary lights subsequently turned off (see addition above), a few forward-facing solid burning red lights are also turned on. This is to give the effect of a "secondary" lights since having just the rear facing redirect lights is a bit boring. I did not add any lights to the 7B-1 so that will only show the rear lights.

 

This puts us at v2.0.4

 

I've also been playing around with 7-zip's compression. I've managed to compress the Bajeebus out of the zip and it is now down to 206MB (formerly 244MB). Unzipping it will take a bit more RAM (66MB to be exact)  than the old method but I don't think anyone will have a problem sparing 66MB of ram while it unzips. It should work out of the box without any special programs (tested in Windows 7). If you're on XP, it will not work without 7-zip or a similar program. If there are too many problems unzipping it, I'll go back to the old method. Sorry, but every megabyte counts when you have a crappy upload speed.

 

Download is available on the first page.

Seeing as there is now a release, moved to Mods Section.

[tysohug]

just one problem with the new update when i send two ambulances to the hospital one get gets stuck in the covered area the only way to remove is to shoot it then tow it away.

[Chris07]

That happens when two arrive at the same time...they fight for the same spot. It's a result of the parking logic I set up. I'll see if I can make a fix for it.

[999madtom]

For me it says: jzip does not support the compression method used by the file  "Northview -  South County v2.0.4\

What shall I do?

[Bugi007]
