This looks great by i completely agree with nycguy, that would be a super nice addition so you dont have to keep buying new cop cars and such!

[Xplorer4x4]

would it be possible to make a jail button so u drop the prisoners off there

Yes it would be possible. I dont know that I will be adding it to my mod, but we will see.


Sadly time has not been on my side, so I havent really gotten to make any updates but I have some ideas in mind.

OK. Can't wait

I can't see the pics but great job,I was thinking about making prisons too where criminals would be held for their crimes along with a prisoner escort.

[Firefighter5]

so you are replacing the rescue squad with the rescue crane? just currious

[Luisinho]

Sounds good. Can't wait to try this out

Here's a suggestion, it would be a great addition:

- Be able to park ambulances outside the Hospital.
- Port police cars will only patrol the port area.

Nope. Station 1 has a HES and HRC.

Parking ambulances would be simple enough, but it would be easiest to rely on the firestation script to staff them. I may add AMRs around the hospital but I kind of doubt it.

This is indeed something I plan to look into. The problem lies with in the pathing. If the path over laps another path im not sure its going to stick to its path.

[jab16]

you can add X amount of port police cars, and X amount of paths to match, but make those paths excape paths and assign one to each car??

[Wayne2224]

I noticed on the regular map when i had all the spots full at the police station (infront) that the other cop cars i sent to the station would go to the donut shop and park there. If they can do that their is it possible to make the ambulances do that in the parking lot maybe in a designated area for just ambulances??

I doubt i would add multiple port police paths.

Not sure what you mean. Have the ambulances park in the FS parking lot or doughnut shop?

Nope. Station 1 has a HES and HRC.

I have listed the changes to FS2 in this thread.

[Wayne2224]

Well it would be cool if you would hit the stand by button and they would park in certain places in the map?? Hope you kinda get that haha....

Hi Xplorer4x4,

Have managed to get all the vehicles to spawn and crew as per earlier discussion. Find below what I have managed to achieve so far.

 Policestation.jpg   0bytes   314 downloads  Firestation_1.jpg   0bytes   336 downloads  Firestation_2.jpg   0bytes   296 downloads  Hospital_AMR.jpg   0bytes   253 downloads

I am still having that issue with the firestation.script stating that there are too many "}"
but am working on it.

All police patrol units (CHP, LAPD patrol cars, Motorcycles amd UMPC's) will respond if they are the closest vehicle when request for patrol car is made. SWAT, Bomb and LAPD SUV must be dispatched manually.

To make USAR more usable, I have modified so that USAR Firefighter can change into and out of diver gear at scene as long as USAR or LEV/HES vehicle at scene.

You may notice that the LEV and Brush at Firestation 2. plus the LAPD SUV at Policestation are facing in the correct direction ..... finally.
I managed to achieve this by intructing them to rotate towards gate6a in the Firestationstart.script (same as Hazmat/Ladder in bay 6 of Station 2) - and it works !

Go figure but I am not complaining. (possibly that instruction states to set rotation in same direction rather than straight towards)

Will keep in touch

Take care

Shane

Shane, I like your changes to the map. Would you release them as a submod?

[Xplorer4x4]

When I get more time i will look into the firestation.script if you dont fix it first.

Im a bot confused on the police back up. How does it operate normally LAPD back up LAPD, LASD, back up LASD, and CHP backs up CHP no matter whos closest?

Your doing an awesome job Shane, thanks for all your help along the way on my project.

Hi randomperson139,

Thankyou for your interest in my version of the mod. As with all that I do, I am happy to share and would be more than happy to release as a submod .... but, it must be done with Hoppahs blessing - to make my changes would involve downloading a file which is about 35 mb in size (uncompressed).

In addition to spawning the extra vehicles at startup and the extra parking, it includes extra LAPD vehicles LAPD CV 1 -5, 3 extra umpcs, Firestation 1 has ALS Engine 1, 2, BLS Engine 201, 202, ALS Ambulance 1, 2, 3, Light Equipment Vehicle 1 and Heavy Equipment Squad 2, while Firestation 2 has Engine 51 (HA HA), Ladder 51, ALS Ambulance 51, Light Equipment Vehicle 51 and Brush 51. I have set up AMR ambulances as BLS and all LAFD as ALS. All Battalion Chief calls work with the extra vehicles and I have included a Call Tower Lightforce which will call Ladder plus ALS Engine 51 together from station 2.

As mentioned earlier, I have also modified the USAR Firefighter so they can change into diver gear and back to USAR provided they are near USAR truck, LEV or HES.

The Negotiator and SWAT Officer have also been modified so tht they can equip MP5 or PSG-1, from SWAT SUV, Helicopter or any SWAT vehicle.

The LAPD Helicopter can rappel officers like the Blackhawk - the animations are still those of national guardsmen when sliding down rope. But good for bringing SWAT to scene.


With so many changes to the mod, I am not sure that Hoppah will be happy for general release .... so don't get too excited, but I will ask.

When I get more time i will look into the firestation.script if you dont fix it first.

Hi Xplorer4x4,

Thanks for your kind words - I am always happy to help.

The problem with the firestation.script I have only just now solved (I will test a bit further to make sure).

The call patrol car script, I have set up so it will call LAPD, CHP, LASD, LAPP, LAAP - which every police unit is closest (cross service co-operation). I have disabled the purchse units component of the scripts so that I have to rely on the resources on the map. Also the original police station parking is unused so any other unit called onto the map can use those parking spaces to park and drop off criminals. The vehicles that are parking at the police station will still offload criminals to the policestation, when they return.

Take care

Shane
