I was not specifically speaking of your problem, the problem is that most valuable information is left off of these bug reports and in all honesty we don't have time to play the game for 40 hours to try to replicate your particular issues. In order to give us a better idea things that would be good to have is your specs on your system if the bug appears that it might be related to lag/bad computer. More importantly how long you were playing (roughly, I do not expect an exact time table here) but also the specific circumstances that caused the problem, if you can manage to replicate the flaw again, please post as specifically as possible rough estimates of how many vehicles you sent to the PD at the time, how many total (estimate) and how long you were playing. I will then take the time to attempt to replicate your problem, but with the data you supplied right now I would be wasting my time, I can sit there all day trying thoudsands of different ways to cause it to happen again but it takes a specific order of events to cause most of these bugs which is why we NEED your help to fix them. Hoop and I run practically identical machines except mine is a notebook and a bit weaker in processor that is made up for with ram, so our computers are supercomputers compared to some of the other ones out there so we have to guess at the problems here because we can't alway replicate them. IF we were to continue adding tons of items to the game I have a feeling the bug issues would wreck the mod for those with lesser machines.

no prob. but i wont be able to play the game if this cant get fixed. my computer is a great computer except it does not have a video card(a very good one, factory) and it has very little memory left on the internal harddrive. but i have 911 first responders on my external hard drive which has tons of memory so that should not be a problem..

true. i will try to replicate it again. but just letting you know about my spefic game taht i saved the game as that bug happened so i tried reloadin the game twice and it did the same thing so maybe if i start a new freeplay it not happen again..

If you guys did post your logfiles I could fix the error in 10 seconds!
I checked the script several times for errors and couldn't find any.
Then I played freeplay and didn't get a crash for a long time until I found out that the game crashes when you try to park a 4th patrol car in front of the police station.
The script was only missing a constant.

Alternatively, Use pretty pictures, both of us caused this bug relatively easilly because we had to GUESS the problem. See picture below for how to effectively cause it, and yes I did pack every single one of those cars with innocents for everyone's sake here: (BTW even with my computer this was an effective way to destroy the framerate, so don't complain if your computer runs slow and you send 10-20 cop cars to the PD at once).

[zootoo63]

thats exactly what happened to me mikey

[Newfoundking]

- Command 'Deploy SWAT' command doesn't work in multiplayer (not confirmed yet)?

Confirmed!!

Yes its work


If you got full loaded swat car and pres the button the team gets out 2 persons stay in car.

Um, I do believe the Deploy SWAT will only send out 4 not 6, so that shouldn't be a bug.... it deploys 4 swat, whether you have 4 or 8 gajillion(yes I made up that number, it equals about 9 million X 1 trillion )

[Hoppah]

It always deploys no more than 4 SWAT officers.

[pyrothijs]

It always deploys no more than 4 SWAT officers.

Some of the commands are grey, or is that supposed to be?

http://forum.emergen...h...ost&id=1535 (stole Mikeys' screen )

If it is supposed to be that way, what's the difference between the grey and coloured commands?

greetz,

[billyfromhill]

The grey commands mean that that function is not on. In the screen above, the automatic sirens are on but the siren itself is not on. Likewise, the hazard lights are not on either.

thnx

I first thought it meant you couldn't use them.

[MikeyPI]

No, we did that to make it easier to tell which CMDs you've activated vs have not, because on most of the vehicles there are alot of commands... Figured that would make it easier to tell what you've got on and what you have off.

thnx

hey i do not know what version this is but i found it on youtube

I will check into this one as soon as I get a chance to see if it is a glitch or an actual issue that is a bug. Some things we miss, we are only human after all. In all honesty this go-round we added so many new scripts we were bound to miss a good deal of things.

This is not directed at you but please in the future guys note whether the issue was SP or MP, some features will NOT work in MP due to how the game works, not the mod, like even though I had the Ladder truck, I had to let my partner (host) use it to get into the building. It also took one of my FF's and gave it to the host (only one). Some of our additions may also behave in a similar fashion that we have not found yet, but that is the game that is doing that, not the mod. Which is why I ask for you to please note if it is SP or MP.

EDIT*****: I tried to replicate your problem, I sent out the LAPD Charger, the CHP vic, the CHP Charger, the LAPD Vic, the LASD Vic, the Medical Car, and the BATT Chief, all functioned fine for me, so perhaps this was just a glitch with your machine, if you can be more specific about what exactly you did but every vehicle I sent out and called an additional unit from off the map functioned correctly. Perhaps with more details as to exactly what you are doing to cause this we may find the cause but the vehicles I ordered were purchased and came off the map and every single one of them functioned as they were supposed to for me.

I think this is a bug,if you use the bat chief to call a police car form off map,when you goto exit the police from that car as in double click the police car,they wont get out,this i have only noticed since 1.8,and if you call the police car that is above the police SUV you get the same issue,you just have to select each person in the car to get them out,it ok i can handle this,just thought i wud say,it not real important for it to be looked at as i know you guys have lots to do,was really wondering if anyone else had this happen

[MikeyPI]

It happens sometimes, but in your case I knew it was SP due to the fact you were calling units from off the map, to prevent people from being resource hogs and spending everyone's money we disabled the ability to buy new vehicles in MP:) Unfortunately some of these other bugs people are reporting lack adequate information to try to run down what might be the potnetial cause. In your case I think it was just a glitch, but reinstalling might help. I tried several different cars all at once spread across the map and everyone of them delievered what they are designed to do (I know this because the car I manually sent had 1 occupant, the ones ordered came with two so that gave away which was which). Your "bug" you found was well-explained and that made it relatively easy to troubleshoot because you were kind enough to try to be as detailled as possible. But should the problem come up again please give me the EXACT unit that you're having problems with so I can see if there is a catalyst that can cause this bug. We honestly have gotten lucky, most of the bugs are game-related but when it comes to the scripting end, one minor syntax error and you'll wreck the script, which is why I don't touch them:)

I hope reinstalling it fixes your problem but if not just try to explain exactly what unit you sent out and what conditions were going on, it is possible lag caused it, I am running the Standard Mod 1.8 with the Patch only, no submods so if you are running a sub-mod it is possible that the submod currently is incompatible with the new version and any applicable changes we've made. They are trying to get caught up but we're all busy lately and doing the best we can.

I hope it was just a game glitch though for your sake so that you can use the function.

Take care,

WOW MikeyPI,was not expecting such a quick reply,and yeah soz i thought i had said Single player in freeplay map,i will re-install MOD again sometime,so thxs for the quick reply,as i said before it not that much of an issue...cheers again though

[MikeyPI]

Delete your temporary internet files from your browser and try to download it again, it happens sometimes, for whatever reason the file doesnt download properly.

I have a problem trying to install v1.8, it will not install the message is some type of error message saying that the file is corrupted. What can i do to fix this problem.
