Hi,

I'm new to the forum so go easy on me.

I like the LA mod & this submod, both brill.

Is their a way so when I can rename the SWAT SUV to Unmarked SUV & have it so normal lapd officers/CHP officers etc can be deployed from that vehicle.

hope someone understands what I mean lol.

Cheers

First and foremost: PC_McKenzie

Next: To change the name from SWAT SUV to Unmarked SUV, you need to open:
C:\Program Files\WizardWorks\911 - First Responders\Mods\Los Angeles Mod v1.9\Lang\en (or similar)

open infotexts.xml with wordpad. To do this, right click infotexts, left click edit.

next, find :

<string name="ID_NAME_SWAT_SUV">LAPD SWAT SUV</string>
<string name="ID_PURPOSE_SWAT_SUV">The SWAT SUV is used to transport a SWAT team to scene. This vehicles comes in action when a dangerous suspect has to be arrested.</string>
<string name="ID_TOOLTIP_SWAT_SUV">LAPD SWAT SUV</string>

replace that with:

<string name="ID_NAME_SWAT_SUV">Unmarked SUV</string>
<string name="ID_PURPOSE_SWAT_SUV">The Unmarked SUV can transport more units than the Patrolcar, but is more expensive.</string>
<string name="ID_TOOLTIP_SWAT_SUV">Unmarked SUV</string>

That'll take car of the name, now, to edit the persons you're able to insert, open:
C:\Program Files\WizardWorks\911 - First Responders\Mods\Los Angeles Mod v1.9\Units\Vehicles\Police
open the folder:
195swatsuv
Open: Unit.xml with wordpad, using the same method as above^^

Find

<personnel>
				<unit id="LAPD_SWAT">
					<defaultcount value="2" />
				</unit>
				<unit id="LAPD_SWAT_SHARPSHOOTER" />
			</personnel>

replace with:

<personnel>
				<unit id="LAPD_SWAT">
					<defaultcount value="2" />
				</unit>
				<unit id="LAPD_OFFICER" />
				<unit id="CHP_OFFICER" />
				<unit id="BP_OFFICER" />
				<unit id="LASD_OFFICER" />
				<unit id="FBI_AGENT" />
			</personnel>

That'll give you 2 SWAT by default, which can easily be removed, and the option to add LAPD Officer, CHP, Border Patrol, LASD Officer and FBI Agent

I hope this helps

Hi, randomperson139 & FortErieFireEli


Thanks for the quick reply. You've been a great help, now i will be changing loads of vehicles lol.

One more thing, is there a ways so this vehicle can carry either 2 cops & 2 prisoners?

cheers
PC_McKenzie

You're welcome.

To change the amount of transports, open the unit.xml for the vehicle and change the space value and loadspace value to 2.

There sure is again, in the units/195swatsuv, edit the unit.xml, find

<space value="4" />
			<loadspace value="0" />

replace that with

<space value="2" />
			<loadspace value="2" />

And, I should've mentioned it before, but, yuo have to edit both the freeplay and campaign portions of the unit.xml to get it to work in both freeplay AND in a regular misson

[randomperson139]

*Changes member title*

Explain, as in the garage of ones you already have, or what?

[Newfoundking]

Yes, at the spawn points you can increase the amount that each point spawns. This is done from the editor.

- Scaled the USCG boat down
- USCG boat can transport personnel now
- Added 'Drop Diver' command to USCG Dolphin

Are you going to fix the roof numbers on the LAPD Impala and the LAPD K-9 Crown Vic?

Nice Hoppah I am gonna love to see the USCG boat in more of a realistic size.

At least I'm not the only one thinking it was rather large I see them all the time, as my town borders Buffalo, NY, and the only thing seperating us is the mighty Niagara River. The USCG Station Buffalo has 2 or 3 of those I believe... They sound friggin powerful

The older versions (v1.0 and v0.1b) of the Additional Units Submod are NOT compatible with the Los Angeles Mod v2.0.
So I released v1.1 of the submod with the following changes:

- Compatible with Los Angeles Mod v2.0
- Scaled the USCG boat down
- USCG boat can transport personnel now
- Added 'Drop Diver' command to USCG Dolphin
- Roof number on LAPD Impala changed
- Command 'Call ALS Ambulance' also works for the Large Rescue Ambulance now
