Hey Hoppah, I "installed" the AUS and the new patch to my desktop so I could manually install the new helicopters and patch. I got the all three new helicopters to show up ingame, but the LASD and CHP helicopters don't have any rotors. The LAPD one is just fine however. I took a clean installation of 2.0.2 and installed the AUS to it, and all three helicopters work fine. What files did I miss that would prevent the rotors from showing up? I have all the model and skin files, the prototype files, and the unit files in the correct places. I also edited all the XML files to get them ingame. Both the CHP and LASD helicopters do not have rotors in the editor or ingame. What did I miss?

If you modified the modification in any way what so ever, including other submods it is highly advisable that you uninstall your current copy of the modification, and proceed with a fresh installation of Los Angeles Mod v2.0.

Why is that? Thanks for the update none the less.

Changelist v2.0.2:

- New LAPD Helicopter (model by MikeyPI)
- New civilian vehicle: Freightliner Step-Van (model by MikeyPI)
- New civilian vehicle: 2006 Ford Freestar (model by MikeyPI)
- New civilian vehicle: 2006 Chevrolet Express Box Truck (model by MikeyPI)
- Updated civilian vehicle: 2003 Ford F-350 (model by MikeyPI)
- Fixed freezing taxis in LA Mod mission 4 "Crash at race track"
- Updated manual

So how come the freeplay map files were included if there were no freeplay changes? Is it because its combined with patch1?

You probably missed the files as350_chp_rotor.e4p and as350_lasd_rotor.e4p located in the following folder:

\Los Angeles Mod v2.0\Prototypes\Objects\04 LA ObjectChildren\

Because files present in update 2 might overwrite files from submods. Lets say you tried to install the new update over LA MOD 2.0.1 + AUS 1.1. In that case you will miss all AUS vehicles because files got overwritten. That's why you have to install the update first and then submods. To achieve that you would have to reinstall the Los Angeles Mod first. At least the 2.0.2 update doesn't add/fix anything critical, so if you don't feel like reinstalling the mod to install this update you don't have to.

So how come the freeplay map files were included if there were no freeplay changes? Is it because its combined with patch1?

I did make a few changes to the map and that's why I released it as a combined update. I've added that FedEx Step-van to the map. You can find two of them parked near the seaport.

So in other words this is for the average user, and if we know what we are doing in terms of merging submods, then we should be able to merge them just fine with out any problems?

Also can you check the copyright topic?

Thanks for all the info.

That was the problem, thanks Hoppah.

Have you ever considered releasing patches in zip format (in addition to exe) for people who know what they are doing to manually install it?

[Xplorer4x4]

Billy, grab something called universal extractor, it will alow you to unzip the exe file for direct access to the files, or you can point the installer to your desktop and it will install the files there and you can get access to them that way.

Thats what I already do. I just though Hoppah could release both formats to make it easier for certain people.

[Xplorer4x4]

I know, and know that you mention it, I wouldnt argue with that but unziping the exe isnt that big of a deal either.

[sigmeister]

The helicopters look great. Thanks a lot Hoppah.

[Forensics]

Love both the new patch and the new version of AUS! Great job Hoppah.

[soulbody]

Rofl, hoppah can it be that you used my submod and the tags are still in this file: lang/en/portraits.xml and lang/en/infotexts.xml
i was busy make my submod compatiable (excuse my english) with patch 2 and saw those tags of the general and medic are still in there...

[Hoppah]

The update does not include language files, so that's impossible and I can't remember I ever installed your submod. The Additional Units Submod does not include your 'tags' either.

[soulbody]

weird, i renamed the install maps to Los Angeles Mod V2.0 Original (cause a compatibility project with some submods) and i saw my tags standing in there... (los angeles mod v2.0) problely a computer bug... at least it is weird

I would like to know all of the easter eggs on the map, I've searched and want to know all of them.
These are the ones I currently know...

1. The BC is named Mike
2. The tags of many fourm members in the LA river:
a.Hoppah
b.Mike
c.Voodoo
d.EM-P site
e.ect...
3. The guy (MikeyPi) at the liquor store, sets his car on fire...
4. The guy working the crappy car...

There are probably more so I thought I'd ask for the rest...

[Xplorer4x4]

Theres a whole topic covering the easter eggs. They all have been found. Theres a Child Watch van on the streets, thats another. I forgot the rest of them.

Oh ya, forgot about that one...

EDIT: Xplorer, if you get a chance, could I get an update on my LA FS Scripts?

[EM4life]

Found a new one! (I think) On the garage door of Mike's Pawn Show, there is a white graffitti tag on it, it reads "Hoppah".

Don't forget Hoppah's gold.

Don't forget Hoppah's gold.

Really? Where do you find him? (Or is this a joke...)
