Ladies, Gentlemen, Children of all Mages ...

I've basically finished up work on the 'sorted and sane' version of 1.9.4 of this submod. There's a couple of little things I have to fix still, but most of it is in place and ready to go. Just a few small things I have to sort out still ....

Here's what you can expect.

• This version will fix the DTS issue completely and on install.
• This version will not -require- the EMS SUV, although there will be an optional file so you can light up the EMS SUV if you've got it.
• This version may be late if the weather tomorrow is especially bad, as that would probably cause me to get called into work.

Within the next 24 hours, I will be posting what I've got. I'm going to -assume- that CFD's permission for me to throw up the patch for DTS will extend to this.

Until then? Patience is a virtue.

** PS : This is not the thread to ask for support with the EMS SUV itself. **

Well, that went much faster than I expected.

OK, everyone. Here's what I've got. C.F.D. said he wanted to sort out 1.9.4, but his PC went bye-bye, and he's working on far more important things, so I did the sorting for him ... and this should make everyone's lives a bit easier.

First, I'm going to post the read me stuff, then the links to the sorted PRL 1.9.4.

I know some of us are good enough at this sort of thing to ignore the readme, but I will not answer any questions I discussed in it, so if you aren't 110% sure of what you're doing? Read it. It's a good starting point. ^_^

Project Reality Lights 1.9.4 Final for Hoppah's Los Angeles Mod 2.0
Created by C.F.D.
Sorted out by SWWinchester (with a few very minor fixes)

How to use this file :

This file works best on a clean install of Hoppah's LA MOD, and will work for LA MOD 2.0. It can be used over an install of PRL 1.9.3, but will not fix a bad install of PRL 1.9.4. The files are -almost- identical.

To do a clean install, delete your copy of LA Mod. Then re-install it. Then re-install all other submods you want to use first. Then install the PRL, as it needs to be the final overwrite to the prototypes directory to work. Doing this any other way around results in overwriting the project reality lights with the original lights, and thus, completely defeats the purpose of this mod.)

Locate your install directory for Emergency 4 / 911 First Responders. It is -probably- C:\program files\sixteen tons entertainment\Emergency 4 or something like that. If you have problems finding it, search the computer for "Los Angeles Mod", and that should bring you right to where you need to be.

Unzip the contents of the file(s) you need to the \Mods\Los Angeles Mod v2.0\Prototypes\ directory. It will ask you if you want to overwrite things - tell it that yes, you do want to overwrite the vehicle directory. If it does not ask you, you are not pointing it at the right spot.

If you are not sure how to unzip files, there are programs for this. Winzip and Winrar are two very popular options. Use Google to find them.

If you have no other submods installed (EMS SUV, Additional Units Submod, Lushino's Unmarked Units Submod), repeat the process for installation with the PRL files specific to those submods after installing the main PRL file.

Things this file will fix (basically, what little SWW actually changed) :

• DTS cars no longer cause 'blue boxes'.
• FBI Command Center's front wheels are now hubcap-side out.
• No more issues from installing prototypes for submods you don't have installed.

Things I know may still be wrong, and have no plans to fix directly :

• Green box issues may persist with some civilian traffic if you overwrite PRL 1.9.3 with this pack, since PRL 1.9.3 overwrites the new civilian details for LA Mod 2.0, and in some cases causes errors between the prototype file and the vehicle data. I reccomend a clean install with this version of 1.9.4 to fix that.

Things I have no fixes for, and aren't really 'problems' :

• In the Additional Units Submod, the LAPD Impala is replaced with an unmarked unit when PRL is installed. This seems to have been the case for a long time now, and as I have no actual PRL files for the Marked Impala, I have no plans to 'fix' this.

Now that that's out of the way - onto the meat of this post.

Project Reality Lights 1.9.4 Final

Project Reality Lights 1.9.4 Final - Additional Units Submod

Project Reality Lights 1.9.4 Final - EMS SUV Submod

Project Reality Lights 1.9.4 Final - Lushino's Unmarked Units Submod

Now then. That should take care of everything. Let me know if anything strange crops up.

A specific note to C.F.D. - this is my small way of saying "THANK YOU" for all that you've done for this submod. ^_^

Do these downloads also take care of the DTS "Cadilacs" Sedans as well?
At first they were just box's. Than I copied files from original LA Mod and replace files from PRL download for Civil Cars only.
As you can see they have no wheels.

I finally fix the DTS Cadilac vehicle problems later in march 2010.
And also directional on LAPD CV fixed to. Please do not ask as I don't know how.

so will this submod work with shane's AUS (alternate unit submod)? After a clean install of LA.Mod. 02 shall i install this submod first and then AUS or the other way around?

[randomperson139]

Install AUS and then this.

Yes. The DTS patch is indeed built into this release - as I said in the readme. If the wheels remain missing -after- installing this, let me know.

... in all honesty, I don't know if it works 100% with Shane's. I simply re-sorted the files that CFD last posted as 1.9.4. I know it works with Hoppah's AUS. As for the order - that is a good thing for me to add into the readme. Always install PRL -last-.

It shouldn't -break- Shane's, we'll put it that way.

Ahh. That's fixed. I did a bad bit of copypasta when posting that link. Sorry. ^_^;;

Thanks for putting everything together.

Got a quick question. I love your mod, only problem is the EMS car is glitched out badly. Anyways, I wanted to download ShaneGreens submod but didnt want to lose the reality lights. Will it mess up the game to have both?

[Xplorer4x4]

Search in bottom right corner of the topic would have given you an instant answer.

[willa078]

Thanks, looks amazing, only thing i would point out, is the brightness of the lights on the CHP cruiser patrol. Im not sure if its becasue of the light bar because it has a different light bar to all the other units or if its purposely done like that. But they were like that in the other light packages lol.

Thanks for your hard work and continuing this submod on

I did try both the SG submod and the PRL submod. They worked for a moment, but when dispatched out for a fall, I got a high pitched screech and my computer froze. I dont know if it was caused by this, just wonderign if anyone else had similar findings.

Found out what it was, its the deluxe map. It works fine in regular freeplay map.

[swwinchester]

OK. Let me clarify something - I'm not the one continuing this. CFD has got someone else to continue it, but it's not me - all I've done was fix his last work on 1.9.4 as he had said he wanted to do and planned to do before heeding the call of life.

This is -all- CFD's work, with me simply having taken the final step of sorting it out and making it a bit easier to install - hence 1.9.4 FINAL. I haven't changed a single light or pattern ... and don't intend to. It's not something I have the requisite time or skills for.

After this, FirefighterEmt4Life is the guy who is going to be doing all of the hard work (and he's damn good at it!), and I'm going to fade back into the quiet background where I belong. All credit and props for this mod, as of right now, still goes to CFD, so let's keep targeting the praise where it should go.

[C.F.D]

^^ Thanks for the great Help! I appreciate it a lot.

[Steve Winters]

Amazing! Thanks! Great lights. Love the mods.

When I installed PRL, the tower ladder's bucket sticks out through the garage. How do you post a screenshot (without Fraps) so I can show you?

There is a button next to Scroll Lock and Insert. "PRT SCR" once you've done that, paste it in paint and save it. Then upload using whatever (tinypic works well) then post it mate. I'd like to see this.
