yeah i should of did that. my bad yall

[FFEMTNecker]

What did you exactly change? The spawnpoints of the vehicles on the map? Lowering the spawn frequency basically spawns a vehicle every 0.5 second (+/- the offset time).

To be honest I have no freaking clue man I am no programmer or game developer... All I know is that I get frustrated with the game after about 20 minuets. I used to be able to play for hours. I saw a post in here a bit back that stated something about the traffic issue being fixed so tonight I re-downloaded the patch and it's still just as bad. Please help me with this cause I don't even want to play anymore at this point.

here or here

Hoppah in any of the upcoming patches will you be able to tag firehydrants

No because the fire engines have unlimited water. Asked and answered at least a dozen of times before.

[engine30]

well when does a fire engine ever have unlimited water. People wanted the game to be real so they should be a limit to the water level on the engines so if you get low you can hook up the engine to a hydrant

[Xplorer4x4]

Thats how to tag a fire hydrant

Well help us to help you. We arent exactly designing a game here, just working with in the perimeters of what sixteen tons has given us. If you cant even tell us what you changed theres not much way to help.,

Probably not...

This has been discussed hundreds of times.
And Hoppah's answer was no! So I expect that won't change.

I didn't repost what I did since I was following the directions that were posted as a quoted response to my first post about this issue. I can name 100 times that I was chastised by the "admin" for not reading back in the forum, or for reposting things that were previously posted, in the 3 or so years I have been a member of this forum. But if it helps I am willing to deal with the flack.

"you cold try to reduce the traffic within the " freeplayparameters.xml" ( make a backup first and don't forget to think about the UAC if you are using Vista or Win7 , because otherwise it will not let you save your changes )

look for a line like this <vehicletraffic factor="2.0"/> and change the number to a lower one ..... there are multiple lines like this in the above mentioned file , which correspond to a certain time of day or something like this ( something about timezone )

you will have to start a new game after this changes to take affect"

I followed these directions explicitly and changed the values to 0.5 all this did was seemingly make the problem worse or it may have had no effect at all I can't be sure. I also tried downloading Hoppah's Patch I found in another topic. (also noticed that some how I ended up posting in the general LA Mod Topic although my first post about this was in the bugs topic... sorry for that). But that is all I can say about it cause I don't know too much about coding or script writing sadly. Any help would be awesome!

yeah cant find his post

Why do I both trying to help people?

Many times people have different results when it comes to the numbers.

Sometimes INCREASING it seems to lower issues.

I suggest you try that, if you still have issues, try a clean install then give us screenshots of the areas traffic begins building up from, this will allow the more experienced guys here who can help resolve the issues for you.

I suggest a clean install as you have already said yourself you are not good with codes & scripts.

A clean slate will help members here assist you.

Saying 'it still happens!' does not help in any way shape or form.
For all we know, the traffic is building up because the drivers are staring at the bikini clad car-washers, or the prostitutes.

Locations and images help here.

Whether you can find his post or not, you are talking to people who have been active on this forum a long time.
Look at Hoppah himself, member no 4?

He has said he does not want to start messing around with limited water and the use of fire hydrants.

As suggested to you, winterberg mod has this. I suggest you start playing that.
Failing that, wait until the NY mod comes out, as they have said it will feature in their game.

oh thats dumb wonder why hoppah wont but whatever

If you had been on the forum long enough, hoppah has been at the forefront of finding ways to make things that were classed 'impossible' in this game possible.

His tiller, for example.

Therefore, i'd retract a comment such as that.

[EDIT]
Found hoppah's post for you e30

I have no idea how to add limited water to the mod. Supply lines should be possible, but serve no purpose if the engine's already have unlimited water.

Was something like the 7th or 8th comment if you search 'water supply' as suggested.

[Hoppah]

Dumb $H!T or not, I don't know how to do make limited water, so I'm not going to make my hands dirty. Supply lines are useles if the water supply is already unlimited. It's only a game which is not even close to a simulator. Mods like the NY mod seem to push everything to a next level, but I am not going to do that too on my own if people were expecting that. Emergency 4 is way too basic to make it work like a simulator in my opinion.

What he said.

Not to anger you Hoppah, but at one time you didnt know how to make a tiller, or even mid mount crane, but you got the job done. Im not asking for water supply though, just saying.
