taylor,

when you download the map from the first thread, there should be three files.

dfreeplay.e4m
dfreeplay.dds
freeplaySE.eft

okay, rename "dfreeplay.e4m" and "dfreeplay.dds" to "freeplay.e4m" and "freeplay.dds". BACK UP YOUR FILES BEFORE ANYTHING.
leave freeplaySE.eft as is. This should get you up and running.

Ok, so I now have incidents, but like people above where does that script go.

Other issues are way to many traffic jams.

Make a copy of your LAFireStationstart.script file and open the original one up with wordpad and replace all of the text with the one i posted.

And for me send too.

That means a script error with LAFireStation Start... It is looking for something that isn't there, so the map won't load until that is fixed..

Bugs

* Traffic is driving slower if you run the map in the standard version
* Some path issues with the second firestation.
* In the first station the engines are standing reversed. (fix for it below)
* Ambu from hospital to FS1 drives trough the forest (sometimes)
* in the deluxe version events take a few minutes to start.
* sometimes traffic jams in the village (lower left corner)

Bugs i have found so far

*A pedestrian keeps walking into street where clubs are and causing traffic jam
*BLS ambulance will not park at firestation 2
*Path issue to second firestation,the fire trucks rock back and forth on spot
*police helicopter can be sent to police staion,but not back to HQ
*Rescue heli can not be sent back to HQ,so your stuck with it on map
*accident near cow field,grain silo canbe lifted but not taken away by recovery truck
*too many traffic issues to list,but to say after about 40 minutes of play,there are traffic jams in many places

The map is good i agree,but i can see why you were frustrated wOOd,so alas i have removed it from my game as too many issues to fix

Well I am not frustrated, because all this issue are fixable. But it takes so much time to 1 > open the editor, load the map, make some changes, save, start the game, test it and back to point 1. And I don't want to take that time anymore.

And the traffic jams are easy to fix by lowering the amount of traffic at the spawn points. But I choose to at more traffic, because that's more realistic. Only with that are coming a lot of other issues.

You can also find the solutions in the intersections. Each intersection has 4 traffic lights. Normally you will link them al together, so only 1 traffic light can go on green at the same time. But that is not realistic, so what I did is that I made at small intersection 2 sets of traffic lights, this way 2 individual traffic lights can have green light at the same time. So traffic from opposite direction can drive at the same time. This speeds up the amount of traffic that's driving around. But also causes some traffic issue. (But there is the police for ).

All the bugs that you listed, beside the traffic issue, are easy to fix within a hour. Maybe I will look at it tonight when I am home.

[w00d]

That's true, but nobody has asked me if he can continue the map. And as allready mentioned, you can play the map at the moment, only with some issues. And I don't expect others to fix the problems, but I give them the uppertunity .

But as I allready told I will try to fix some problem tonight.

w00d,

if you'd like, i have some editting experience and would love to work on the map and see if i can't iron out some of the bugs.
