For the bomb squad, could you not create one of those big spheres that they use. The LAPD use them and is in the film SWAT for a breif moment. This means that the bomb can be placed inside the big sphere and it explodes inside not damaging anything. If exploding the bomb inside the sphere could be a script that would even be better but even if its just for looks, it would still look much more realistic than just a big SWAT truck with bomb squad written on the side.

The truck, well mine does anyways, has the bomb robot on it, so its not just a big swat truck with bomb squad written on it. I agree itd be cool to make use of the disposal truck you mention because it still feels a bit lacking.

And just FYI, just because its in a movie doesnt mean its real. In this case it is, as Mikesphotos has pics up on his site, but dont always take it for granted.

Would be very though. since the bomb can't be moved when it isn't disarmed during missions, and can't be moved at all in freeplay.

[ddurbin2007]

I think that the swat bomb squad truck looks great as is, and said before in earlier posts I'd leave it as is for now and worry about adding or changing it for another mod.

Would be very though. since the bomb can't be moved when it isn't disarmed during missions, and can't be moved at all in freeplay.

It would be impossible as is, but it seems easily feasible with proper scripting.

@ andrew. Sorry I've never gotten back to you about those few units I've skinned. Give me about two more weeks and I'll try to get them packaged up and sent off to you.

Looks good!!!!!

[USMC_NL]

hey hye the submods looks great man.

are you still wrking on it?? i hope so it give a great extra addition:)

[MikeyPI]

There is a reason why the LAFD Batt truck was done on the older suburban instead of the new one, originally the vehicle was built on a tahoe (different design model wise). When I had to do the conversion to make the tahoe into a suburban I just happened to do the older one first and unfortunately it was a royal pain in the tailpipe... Hence no new suburban was done, just the old suburban, and it's two tahoe brothers... Otherwise the LA mod would have gotten an Gov suv that is more accurate(generally they have the suburbans).

I dearly apologise for the lack of updates, But I've just been busy lately with work and college It's all about priorities...

But, with the mod: I've been working on a few of the units in the first post, and porting the work that was done from 1.9 to 2.x. I'll be putting up some video/screenshots later of what's been done.

I know it's a big call, but If there is someone here that wants to take over the primary development of the submod then let me know as I don't want what's been done so far to go to waste. I'll still be contributing to the development of the submod, but someone might be able to work on it at a much faster pace.

Thanks

I've updated the initial post and will continue to do so with news, and new screenshots.

In essence:

All Completed Units Ingame and Functioning - 21/03/10
Division 3 Chief scripting started- 20/03/10
DT1, SU2 Finished - 19/03/10

All units I've marked as completed are currently in game, and functioning as they should with no bugs or anything i could find. I've started some scripting for the Div3 Chief as so he can call the BC and some other units. I am going to be looking into getting a dozer transporter modelled along with a few other things, as i'm not much of a modeller if someone would have the time to donate to do this i would be very appreciative, I'm going to be learning modelling (rather slowly at that though).


Thanks! Any questions feel free to reply, email or PM.

[billyfromhill]

Sounds good. I see you have a dozer tender done. Is it a new model or a reskin of an existing unit?

If you do get a model of a dozer transporter, you might want to get someone to reskin the current loader/dozer to something more realistic. If we can't have a real dozer we might as well have a realistic looking loader.

You would also need heavy equipment operators.

@ MikeyPI, LA city has never used Tahoes for BC rigs. They currently use 2008 and 2003 Chevy Suburbans and even older GMC Suburbans.

[andrew2007]

billyfromhill,

My first post and prior post actually say i have a Dozer Tender completed It's not a perfect representation, but for the moment, It will do.

As for personnel, that is something I'm working on for a few of the units.

[andrew2007]

Andre what values do you use for your camera hack. Please tell me I want to be able to get that low and close. Please and thank you.

Hoppah lists this on his website,

<a name="camerahack">How can I get the camera hack?
To zoom in or out further and get different angles you only have to edit some settings in the configuration file.
To do that, open em4.cfg (or em4deluxe.cfg) with WordPad located in your Emergency 4 directory.
You can change the following values: mincamz, maxcamz, mincampitch and/or maxcampitch.
The screenshots on the LA mod website have been taken using the following values:
"e4_maxcampitch" value="80."
"e4_maxcamz" value="3500"
"e4_mincampitch" value="15"
"e4_mincamz" value="100."

Thanks

I saw your post in the copyright topic about editing the brush patrol. The base model of the brush patrol (2003 Ford F-350), was put into the mod as a civilian vehicle with version 2.0.1. I don't know if this will make your modeling any easier but I thought I would let you know so you might not have to edit out the compartments in the back of the brush patrol.
