I just tested v1.1 online with Stan . :1046275747_biggthumpup:
Everything went well. We found 2 bugs:
I forgot to repair the motorcycle bug (driver doesn't disappear on motorcycle in multiplayer).
Police units can't enter the SWAT Armoured Vehicle sometimes :s
I am not sure if I can fix that.

I had alot of other bugs (disappearing trucks, siren doesn't follow cars), but that's because of my crappy computer (I have to play MP on lowest settings). :P

I know it's a little too late for 1.1, but some ideas to think about.

On Long Island, NY where i go every summer, the fire departments have whats called "fire police". Since most towns in that area are under the control of Suffolk County Police, police are dispatched all over the towns inside the county. so, fire departments have fire police. they are able to arrive on scene at the same time the other Apparatus does, and can set up a primeter before police arrive. 2 slight verations i found


http://hmfd.org/imag...aratus/2410.jpg
Large Fire Police

http://www.kingspark...pics/4110_a.jpg
Smaller, van type

http://www.kingspark...pics/4110_b.jpg
picture 2 of above

http://www.eastnorth...ratus/21013.jpg
another one. not really fire police, but used to transport 8 or 9 guys to the scene fast

discription of fire police

where i live in Ma, we have first responder vehicles.

http://www.massfiret...c_Unit_1_06.jpg

Tatical trucks are used because some citys dont have any ambulances, they contract out to a third party service so this unit acts as as first responders until an ambulance comes.
(Basicly your light equipment trucks in 1.1)

http://www.massfiret.../Boston_TCU.jpg

Boston also has a tac unit just because the city is so big and theres a million 1 way streets. thats more like an SUV type thing (like the EM3 vehicle)

so i know were talking LA here, but i think that a fire police vehicle would be awesome. It could just be some firefighters with a vest on, and have the ability to place cones, flairs, barricades, and redirect people and trafic (and maybe those directional light, but i saw you say it might be vary hard to put those on a fire vehicle)
as for the tac unit, your light eqmt vehicle is pretty much that.

one more thing. i would love to see that black undercover SUV in the LA Mod for EM3. (i think it was the FBI or secret service SUV) it would go awesome with the undercover crown vic that you have. i could convert it for you and send it to you and you can see what you think. just a thought...



PS what is the eta on 1.1!!!



(KIDDING GUYS. JUST KIDDING) just making fun of those people who cant take "when its ready" for an answer :P

Pictures too large. Use thumbnails or links.

I am not going to add every vehicle other people like. I like those vehicles too, but I am not going to make them. Just because it's too much work.

To prevent 'cheating', I changed some scripts (again):

The price of a fireman is $25.
The price of a fireman with mask is $75.
The price of a paramedic is $25.
The price of a paramedics with stretcher unit is also $25.

With the 'Change Clothes' commands for firemen you were able to save $50 (difference between normal and mask fireman).
So, when you change your normal fireman to a fireman with mask it will cost you $50 now.
and when you change back to normal fireman you will get $50.

With the new stretcher script in v1.1, it was possible to save $25 when you change one paramedics with stretcher to two normal paramedics.
So it will cost you $25 when you drop the stretcher and you will get $25 when you get a stretcher (2 paramedics become one paramedics with stretcher).

I changed something else too.
When you use the MP5, M4a1 or Sharpshooter Rifle against an innocent target it will cost you money too ($200 for sharpshooter rifle, $100 for MP5 or M4a1).

Greetz,

Hoppah

Say, is there a way to increase the limit of vehicles you can buy in Freeplay (or make it unlimited), or is that hard-coded?

That's possible and I will increase it for v1.1 (It was increased for v1.0, but v1.1 has more vehicles).

Ranger, that first picture is not of fire police but it is a heavy rescue unit used to carry extrication and other rescue tools. And I kinda agree with Hoopah, because of continuity reasons. There are no fire police that I know of in LA City. That is the job for police, CHP or whatever. Fire Police would fit better in a rural, or suburban area like where I live where there are volunteers. And thank you for your hardwork Hoopah, your mod is looking great! :)

Kinda of topic..but I having been changing the map to have only riots and demonstrations in the xml files. However they never occur. I tried it with an avarage of 1000 times in 10 min and 0.1 but none of these seemed to work? Am I missing something...

Brush truck will be changed for multiplayer (no hose connection), because vehicles with 1, 2 or 3 hose connection(s) will crash in multiplayer. Will be fixed with patch 3.

Hoppah, I noticed that the pontoon bridge vehicle is available in the vehicle selection in Freeplay and Multiplayer modes. It doesn't serve a purpose in either of those modes, so can you remove it before the release of the next version, please?

@ Hoppah

i've downloaded your great mod! it's really cool, but when you play in freeplay, you should get all unit's right?

here's a list of what i don't get of the vehicles..

Medic : EMS car, Ambulance 4, Coroner's van

LAFD : Light Equipment, Brush Truck, Crashtender

CHP : Patrol car & Camaro

Misc: Rescue Dog vehicle, Bulldozer(+carrier)

is my mod not installed right, or are some of the vehicles coming in the next version?

Regards ThaLowrider.
