Ok due to a number of things I have added Beta 2 to the first post. The icons did not seem to work for me, but since there were alot of changes this is officially Beta V2. Starting with Beta 3 I will include a text file to indicate the current version.

For those with Beta 1, just download the new rar and install the exe.

To be honest with you, the icon for the unit (truck) in game does not look bad. Its a bit dark but I can still see it. I think it's fine.

if you were talking about lifeguards, I don't know that kind of stuff so I probably won't be able to help with that.


EDIT: It says coroner van again in the instructions under the freeplaybase.

Yeah I know I the truck pic needs touched up, but its not the to priority. As for instructions, i dunno how it got changed back, but i went ahead and uploaded an individual text for now. Thanks for pointing that out.

Is it just me or did the instructions text make no sense at all?

Hey,

I made some changes to the truck by fixing the lights, and adding some bonus lights.

Enjoy! Zootoo did an excellent job on it, but i just improved it in some areas. Added Wig Wags, Corner Strobes, better Grill Lights and its patterns, and added Side LED for intersection clearing. I also added Rotatory Alley/Intersection Lights on Light bar.

It sounds like a good mod, can't wait to play it later on in the week.

Would you be able to post some screen shots too?

You probably just don't know the folders in the LA Mod v1.8 well.

Open up your LA Mod v1.8 folder. When you see "Specs/Freeplaybase.xml" from the Los Angeles Mod v1.8 folder, open the specs folder, and find the freeplaybase.xml then open it. And it then tells you find:

<vehicle prototype="mod:Prototypes/Vehicles/02 LA Fire Department/heavy_equipment_squad.e4p" count="2" />

after finding it, paste this code directly above it.

<vehicle prototype="mod:Prototypes/Vehicles/02 LACoFD Lifeguard/lifeguard_truck.e4p" count="2" />

And then after that, just follow each step by step just like this.

Make a little more sense now?

I have a questiong for you. The only thing that i should to make is to extract this in (which folder?) and nothing other. And when I start the mod, this truck will be there without other changing in scripts? Sorry for my english.

No script changes is necessary with these lights. You need to open up the folder where you see life_guard.e4p and then from there you need to extract it to "Los Angeles Mod v1.8\Prototypes\Vehicles\02 LACoFD Lifeguard" folder and hit ok and it will ask you to overwrite it and click yes and it should work.

If you want to do it manually, here is how I got to mine with EM4 Deluxe.

You messed up your info text. Gotta follow the instructions. First of all:

<string name="ID_NAME_LES">LACoFD Life Guard</string>
<string name="ID_PURPOSE_LES">The LACoFD Lifeguard truck is used for beach front rescues.</string>

Where did you get LES from? Thats not in my instructions. If you want it to be called you have to changed every instance of "LIFEGUARD_TRUCK" to LES. Secondly you should have 3 lines for the lifeguard, just like every other vehicle does.

Okay! I got that fixed but now I can;t get any vehicles that aren't on the map. And the siren on/off won't work. I am going to install a clean copy...

Hey, I got it to work after I installed Beta 2. I got my game to work again after I changed the files a second time... but I coundnt see the truck last night. But the new typo fixes got it to work. Good Job!

To Re-install the lights of the changes i made, just drag the file out of the .rar to the Lifegaurd Prototype folder, under vehicle, and just drop it in there, and it will replace it. And no, it will not change the script at all, it just will change the lights.

[Xplorer4x4]

In beta 2 i see that now the icons are semi working, but on the screen to put guards in the truck I notice it now shows the FF/Paramedic icons.
