Working on unit information what is a lot of work, but a nice addition to my mod. It adds some detail.
All vehicles are done. Will do the units (persons) tomorrow.

Hoppah can you change price for all vehicles and persons on free

That will ruin the gameplay.
Some vehicles are even too cheap.

Go To:

*:\Emergency 4\Mods\Los Angeles Mod v1.0\Specs

Open "fp_params_endless"

Change in this line the startbudget so you've got plenty off money for the freeplay ( Endless game )

<StartBudget value="150000"/>


For example:

<StartBudget value="650000"/>


But then it's very easy so i prefer the orginal form

Grtz !!!

What Hammie says.

I already raised the start budget in v1.0.
For example:

Freeplay SP (fp_params_endless.xml):
Em4 v1.2: 75.000
LA mod v1.0: 150.000

So, the money is already doubled and prices of vehicles aren't higher.

I was thinking to change the prices to realistic amounts, because a terrorist attack doesn't cost 200.000 or something. Maybe it's more fun to use a MUCH higher amount. Like when you want to buy a fire truck it will cost you 40.000 what is more realistic than 1.500. The money you will earn will rise too, so the gameplay stays the same. It's just cool to see realistic amounts.

Hey guys, I am new to the whole thing. Both EM4 and the LA mod. I must say. this is AWSOME. Well Done....very well done. If I may I would like to add a few ideas you can use or not. let me know

I love the yellow hoese Idea, and the traffic turning around with the aarow sticks

- The new Light Rescue Truck. Would be nice if It could carry a diver as to not tie up a fire truck for those situations.
- The Option to turn your emergency lights on and off as you please just like the sirens.
- Traffic should also turn around when they approach a fire truck not just a police car with traffic aarows. You prob already added this
-Mabey change one of the Ambulances to the Type II style (Van Style) as LA has both Type II and Type III (box like) ambulances. See Picture
- Ladder truck we have no is pretty much useless, its really hard to use in my mind.

Ill think of more later. Hope to hear from you guys on some ideas.

[PICTURE WAS HERE]

Im gona throw this one out there for everyone too....

If we wanna be realistic on the whole thing....for Ambulances... In LA as in 99% of the world an ambulance carrys 2 Paramedics. thats it. Both trained to treat and heal. then when its time...get the stretcher and take away the patient. What if we altered the mod so when you send an ambulance 2 Paramedics get out, both of which can take care of 2 patients if need be or both on one patient, then when the time comes, get the strecther from the truck under the "get equipment" tab. Make it capable of carrying 2 stretchers like it can now but....you know what I mean... Im not really expecting anything to come from that but just thought I would throw that out there for someone to pick apart

Hey Shaun,

Firstly welcome to the forums I hope we'll see more of you in future.

I really like most of your ideas and the paramedic thing is the same over here you have two paramedics and they stabalise the patient and then cart them off to the hospital.

It would be great to see any of those suggestions added to the mod but I also understand that some may not be possible.

That truck already carries a diver.

You can use SHIFT+B to turn off the lights, but I can make a command (with icon) as well. But it's not really important.

The 'directional lights' command was quite difficult and complicated to make. I don't know if this will work perfect ingame.

Something for v1.2.

If the game didn't need a truck like that, there was no (aerial) ladder truck in my mod. But you need that truck for some certain rescue situations. Same thing for Watertender and Mass Casualty Unit.

Great idea ofcourse, but it doesn't improve gameplay; it slows down. When you have to get the stretcher every time you want to move a patient it will slow down your game. It's possible to create this, but I don't know if I'm going to add this. I didn't add this to the LA mod in Em3, because of the same reason.

IRL 1 of those rescue trucks or fire trucks would be close to around 300-500 thousand dollars to buy. The police cars are about 30 thousand each, SUVs are around 40-50 thousand and the motorcycles are maybe 10 thousand... I would like to have realistic prices and begining budget level for all units... Maybe we can start at like a budget of 15-20 million? Or maybe less, depending on how many units you need to buy...

It's a great idea, but because I have to edit a lot of files then this won't be in v1.1.

We have this already, just not a button for the off portion. As Stan told me about Ctrl + B turns off the emergency lights. Then either moving the vehicle with auto siren active or pressing the siren on/off button the lights start again.

Or just select them and push B to activate Blue lights

Ive tried to delete the regedit files for EM4

Why you did that?

You unpacked the .zip file first abd then install the .e4mod file with the ModInstaller?

You can try this too:
Delete all your Temperoray Internet Files and Cookies.
That worked for me when I have corrupt packages.

lol, I was waiting on those types of ambulances to come around. Very nice, Hoppah.

[engine111]

Yeah but police cant use fire equipment in E4 or any other E game for that matter. So even if they had them, the cops couldn't use them.
