Shane I have a Box Style AMR if you want the texture(assuming Hoppah doesnt mind) I just have been busy/lazy and havent felt like making unit pics,unit xml files and so forth.

[cletus]

what about the life guard truck? i mean i could prob. do it my self one day but its almost a hassle. as far as getting permission to add it in the script as well.

[Xplorer4x4]

^what about the lifeguard mod?? Its at a stand still. I am stumped on fixing it for those that cant get it to work. Unless you all are using the wrong instructions file, or just screwing up the file edits.

[cletus]

lol i just left something in your form. i just need to figure out the script and how to add the unit with the amr and the l.e.v. the l.e.v over writes the amr and life guard truck. the guy who came out with the a.m.r ambulance needs or is waiting on permission to add these things together in one big script. make sense?

Someone needs to model the freightliner ambulances you know the ones..the BIG boys.

Are you or have you fixed the BUY feature from the Bat Chief when additional pieces are called for.

[Xplorer4x4]

cant wait till alll of the extra vehicles are just this easy to install

What you have to understand is that with each submod comes file edits. The only easy way to accomplish this with out file edits is if some one compiles a set of scripts that contain all the needed edits for every submod, and that way we can post a set of files for those making a submod so all they have to do is add there new vehicles to said scripts so that the end users can download a submod and over write there old files with the new ones that contain all the necessary edits. As easy as it is, it would be a bit of a time consuming proces, and even then may require some edits to scripts depending on which submods are installed. For example if you have this submod installed, but not the Lifeguard mod, the siren script may cause errors because it knows there is no lifeguard mod installed. That may or may not be the case, but as I said its a time consuming process, and really its in your own interest to learn to edit the files your self so you can make changes for submods and such.

While I would love nothing more to have Freightliner ambulances, as far as I have seen(hopefully mikesphotos will see this and correct me if I am wrong) but these are not in use in LA or LA County, so its doubtful Hoppah would approve such a sub mod as it would be unrealistic and his goal is to keep the mod realistic for the most part.

In the LA Area, the only ones who use them are the smaller departments such as Beverly hills, Burbank, Alhambra, and a couple of others. None of the Private ambulance companies contracting with LACoFD uses them, and LAFD had 2 but they're now covered in a ton of dust on a dirt lot by the shops. Just too big and unwieldy for use in LA City was the final result.

Thanks for the answer Mike.

^your not getting the point. I hope so to as it would make it easier on those of us releasing submods, but it may or may not cause problems. I may work at this later to see what I can some up with.

[ShaneGreen]

That is correct. The Light Equipment Truck (LEV) is not included in the package so it will not appear once the files are overwritten. I have PM'ed MCERT1 to obtain permision to add the LEV to the package and that should solve the problem. I am just awaiting a reply. Other than that the new package is ready to go and should be available soon.

Take care

Shane

update

Still have not heard back regarding permission to include LEV. If no news by monday, I think I will release the submod without LEV for now.

[Xplorer4x4]

^are you adding the actual model and texture to your package or just altering the scripts to include the LEV?

[ShaneGreen]

^are you adding the actual model and texture to your package or just altering the scripts to include the LEV?

If I get permission, my intention is to include the LEV model, it is slightly different, to match the markings of the HES in the submod.

[nycguy555666]

yay the submod's gonna be a lot easier

[nycguy555666]

not trying to be nasty but will this be released soon
