Summary:
For those of you who enjoy playing this game and using all the mods created by many other cool people on this forum. Here's yet another change you can make to your version of the EM4/911 FR. I have enjoyed this game immensely and have really appreciated the mods created by others but I really couldn't get into the supervisor who dispatched the calls for us to send units to. So, I decided to make a few changes to the "Supervisor" to suit my liking and hopefully add more realism to the game. So I have made it available for your enjoyment too. I listened to everyone's suggestions and recommendations and came up with second or enhanced version of the Supervisor Video/Audio. I hope you like it.

The changes:
- Replaced the original supervisor video with various video clips from 911 dispatch centers
- I cleaned up the audio quality of the communications.
- Included actual engine company names.
- Updated a few radio codes used in the Los Angeles area

Some codes used in the enhanced version

Engine - fire engine
Squad - squad truck
Special Ops - USAR
Rescue - ambulance
MCU - mass casualty unit
RP - reporting party (civilian making the 911 call)

Code 37 - stolen vehicle
415 - public disturbance
451 - arson
488 - petty theft
211 - robbery
240 - assault

How to install it
The files need to be copied into the Data/Lang/us/supervisor folder. It will overwrite the other files. Or you can simply just remove those original files, back them up and add the new ones.

I used Premiere Elements to change the audio and video. I'm not sure how you would do this in any other DVD or video authoring application.

Video: 160x128 (so that it will fit inside the little screen that used to show the supervisor; Youtube makes the video too big)
Video format: MPG 1
Audio: MPEG 1 Layer II, mono

Additional Notes:
It is also worth noting that this "Supervisor Mod" is technically not a Mod by the usual definition of LA Mods because the change affects the entire game including other installed Mods. So, if you have the Winterberg Mod installed, this "mod" will affect that mod too. So, you may not want to update your Supervisor files with these if you're using Winterberg or any other Mods.

This only "modification" only applies to the EM4/911 First Responder version and NOT the Deluxe version.

I'm not very good at this and I'm not sure if everyone will be satisfied (I'm not perfect) but hopefully you will like it and it will make your play more enjoyable.

I also added another version of the supervisor files (same installation method). It's the same audio but I created these if you prefer photos over video. Plus the file download is a bit smaller (44MB) than the one above. Get it here: DOWNLOAD SIMPLIFIED VERSION HERE
The files are compressed using the standard Windows Compression program. You just need to unzip them.

Yeah, I replaced all videos. Sorry about to the original producer or designer. I just thought the guy was a little cheezy (or more cheesier than my creation).

[jgreene]

so did you upload it ?

[heyjoojoo]

so did you upload it ?

I just got home... give me some time to upload it.

[heyjoojoo]

Here the files are. Download both files. They are 25MB each.
DOWNLOAD LINK

Unzip the contents of both folders into the following path of your game's directory:
Wizardworks/911 First.../Data/Lang/us/Supervisor/


That's it.

Is there a size limit on the videos? Maybe someone could volunteer their face so the videos would show an actual person making the dispatch call?

BTW, freaking awesome man!

[szron]

[Alexx12]

Heyjoojoo,
what programm did you use to create these videos?

[Hoppah]

I used Premiere Elements to change the audio and video.

[Alexx12]

Ups Thanks Hoppah

The files need to be copied into the Data/Lang/us/supervisor folder

Is there really no way to place these files somwhere in certain mod folder?

[SleepyLizard]

tht is really good, nice work!!!

[jgreene]

Ups Thanks Hoppah

It doesn't go in the mod folders, it goes into the data folder of the game. It will come up in the mod.



Just played LA mod with this installed and its amazing! Ive noticed for car accidents the dispatch sounds like they are dispatching a police call. He says suspect is fleeing. I think if you got a video of a dispatch center that would really be great.
