Well, I guess I never thought of it that way, work and such sounds really exciting to think about (yeah right) :LOL:

@Mikey: I love the DTS. It's very well done.
@Hoppah: The script sounds awesome.
You guys are amazing, even outdoing yourselves. I know that script was brought up a long time ago, before any of us thought it would be possible. And you did it.
Congratulations on such an amazing mod, and keep up the good work, guys. You make the game thousands of times more fun for all of us.

Clear your temporary internet files, delete the copy of the download you downloaded, occasionally, especially if you have an unreliable connection will randomly complete the file when it is not nearly complete, read the file size prior to selecting your save location I believe it is 186 MB, sometimes it will only download part of that and claim it was successful, obvously it is not if it is not 186mb.

Try and try again, even my high-speed connection I occasionally have this happen, usually when you are doing too much and using excessive bandwidth.

hey i have the problem that i install the mod in EM 4 he says that the file is corrupted i have already tryed what was said earlier in the topic but it doesn't work either. Does anyone have an answer?

Thank you for the appreciation, it means alot to me:)

I wish I could do scripting so I could figure some of the more complicated ones out but I fail constantly, so that's hoopers job. Take care my friend, wish you the best for the holidays.

Hoppah,

Could you give us another update on the progress of the LA mod v1.8

Hoppah is on holiday my friend, i think he will be back on 2th january 2009

[MikeyPI]

The Update for the mod is that it is basically in testing phase at this time, we can't really say much more than that, bug hunting can take some time and since we've all went on vacation you guys just have to be patient and wait for us to return. We all just really needed a break from the same things:) Already I have to do moderator tasks once again which is why I took the vacation in the first place.... This is why I wonder sometimes why we even try.

Happy Holidays...

Okay Cool,

Well, I'd be happy to put my hand up for testing, if it's available, or even for moderating while poeple are on vacation temporarily.

But, it's good to hear that it's in testing, and take your time and squash all the bugs to make it right the first time.



Thanks for the update.

you wish you could be a tester nice try lol

[MikeyPI]

To my knowledge, there are enough testers on the mod, bug fixing ironically takes more time than actually making things, you build a car for example and because of one minor glitch you can spend up to 30 minutes trying to undo that error if you missed it early on. The same deal applies to some bugs in the mod in general. Testing involves a great deal of patience, you really rarely play the game, most of it is just trying all the features over and over again to see that they work together fine, then if you have a problem you have to try over and over to try to replicate it. It is definately not the most entertaining part of modding, the game has so many glitches to begin with you have to separate those issues from ones that are caused by what the mod has done. Overall though I think it's getting there.

There are plenty of Mods here now, we sometimes step on one another's toes as it is:) We all tend to cover when some of us are missing, I am not aware of a single time when everyone of the Staff has been gone at once for a long time.

Um, well why wouldn't I or anyone else wish to be a tester. It's an awesome mod, and it'd be such a privilege to be able to get a sneak peek behind the scenes at the next version.

I don't quite know what you were trying to imply there, but it was a little uncalled for in my opinion.

v1.8 News

SHERIFF05 made new audio files for me. Because a lot of new commands have been added since v1.5 I needed new ones for the commands to call additional vehicles and a few other commands.
I also changed the texture of the negotiator. He wears SWAT gear now. Screenshot:


This is probably the final newspost for v1.8.
We're currently still testing it.

Great job. Is dispatch referred to as OCD now and are the radio messages closer to how they would sound in LA?

Great job. Is dispatch referred to as OCD now and are the radio messages closer to how they would sound in LA?

Not yet, we had a 'discussion' going on about that. SHERIFF05 didn't have much time, but he still recorded 25 audio files within a very short timeframe.
I was very very pleased with the new files and they're perfect for me. Until someone told me they aren't realistic for LA again.

Reasons I am going to keep them in v1.8:
1. SHERIFF05 is the only one who can do them so fast and perfect (understandable voice combined with background noise and the beeps).
2. SHERIFF05 lives on the east coast. I can't blame him for doing wrong. I don't even live in the USA so I couldn't know.
3. 99% of the LA Mod players won't notice it anyway. I know there are a couple of firefighters from LA who like to play my mod, but they're only a small fraction of all players.
4. SHERIFF05 told me he was VERY busy. I don't even want to bother him to make new recordings again, just because someone else isn't satisfied.
5. I am satisfied
6. I've already heard a new recording from real LA radio traffic. Recorded by Mikesphotos. That one was good and realistic. Unfortunately, it was too long and I don't want to wait until all 25 audio files have been finished. I wonder if it's possible to record the audio I actually want from a real radio.

Realism is important in the mod. But things like this don't have to be necessarily realistic. It's about the 'American feeling' I am trying to add to the mod and that's what the new audio files do perfectly. You can't simulate radio traffic anyway. An example: "Battalion 1...Requesting an additional ALS engine"
Someone would always answers this in real life. We didn't do that, because it would make the audio files way too long and that would be annoying.

There is a chance they're going to be replaced, but that's not going to happen in v1.8 anymore.

That would be cool Hoppah if you added the radio traffic. It would add alot of realism, looking forward to v1.8
Thanks Happy New Year,

Mike
