The maps are the exact same size.

Hi all,

Sorry that you have not heard much from me for quite some time, life has been pretty hectic. I would like to thank those who has provided advice and support in my absence, and those who have provided files and suggestions to adapt this submod to v2.0 of the LA Mod. Prior to the release of LA Mod v2.0, I was working on some fairly major changes to the submod - which I now have to recreate for version 2.0. It is my intention to complete this project and to base it around version 2.0 with the AUS mod included. My time is very restricted so I will not be able to complete this project in the near future, but I will get it done - then after consultation with Hoppah to ensure that the changes meet his approval, I plan to release it.

I will keep you informed, as I have news to provide, but please understand if there are infrequent posts from me for a while - I will be checking in and reply to pm's as I am able.

Take care

Shane

Good luck with the changes.

Your submod looks and sounds awesome. One thing, I like the reality lights made by CFD. If I install your mod, then the lights submod on top, will it cause any complications? And will it work with 2.0?

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.

We've waited this long Shane I think we can wait a little bit longer, always looking forward to the release when it does happen.

hey hey

great to hear that you are working on a update of the mod.

mayby because you are also combinding the aus mod its posible to make a parking lot for the large rescue amb. and also keep the original ems car and the SUV ems. so you have 2 units.

Also if possible can you make your parking changes in the original map for EM4 and the new maps of Wood's??
i like those maps also

good luck with the the mod. hope to play it soon:)

Just a quick little note to answer some of these questions.


I plan on leaving all the original vehicles as they are in the Mod and will add my changes as seperate vehicles. One advantage with this is that if you call for a vehicle and one is not available, the purchase unit from off map feature will respond a vehicle from out of area with different numbering to those on the map in freeplay.

I hope to expand on the ALS / BLS ambulance concept as well.

I will try to add the rescue ambulance, but on past efforts, it created major hassles, so will have to see.

Regarding maps, if all goes to plan and the permissions are forthcoming, I plan to modify both original and Deluxe Maps, as well as Hoppah's map for original and the Deluxe version, plus both of W00d's maps (I hope).
I will have all maps in the file and the individual can rename the map that they want to freeplay.e4p or dfreeplay.e4p for those with Deluxe.

Hope this satisfy's your curiosity, but please don't get too excited yet

Take care

I did have an almost fully functioning 3rd Firestation, in the next potential release of previous version before 2.0 came out, with a structured ALS/BLS ambulance system (Main station had 3 x ALS rigs plus 1 BLS, smaller stations had 1 ALS and 1 BLS rig each).

The setup was a s follows:

STATION 10

1 x ALS Engine
1 x BLS Engine
1 x Ladder Truck
1 x USAR
3 x ALS Ambulance
1 x BLS Ambulance
1 x Hazmat
1 x Heavy Rescue Crane
1 x Battalion
1 x EMS SUV
1 x Light Equipment Vehicle
1 x Swift Water Rescue
1 x Large Ambulance

STATION 36

1 x ALS Engine
1 x BLS Engine
1 x Light Equipment Vehicle
1 x ALS Ambulance
1 x BLS Ambulance

STATION 51

1 x ALS Engine
1 x Ladder Truck
1 x Light Equipment Vehicle
1 x Brush Patrol
1 x ALS Ambulance
1 x BLS Ambulance


But we will see about that - Will require some discussion with Hoppah to make such significant changes I would think.

Will this 'new' version be avaliable for both of woods maps? I don't use Hoppah's ( I think I'm one of the few who is not a fan of it. )and it would be neat to see your mod being used for those or can you share any of your thoughts on doing it for those?

Depends on which map but in most cases the third station was either North middle of the map or north/north west.

A slight correction, at the third station (36) I had a Heavy Equipment Squad, not the Light one.

I think it would be amazing to have another fire station! Most cities don't have two stations. This would make EM4 more realistic in ways. I think it would be a great thing to have. Looking forward to the release of this submod. Hopefully you'll get permission to add a 3rd fire station in.

[SirMoo]

Well, not really. It says you plan to modify the other maps, I was unsure if you were going to modify them for the next round or if it was just a "when ever I get around/feel like it" comment. Just wondering if it's up there on the to do list or an eventually thing.
