Hey @itchboy, here's an unmarked LAFD tactical medic unit, in case you're looking for an example of an unmarked LAFD unit that has L&S. Please note that the rear light is red and amber, as opposed to the red and blue on unmarked and slicktop LAPD units.

That's cool but you're in the wrong thread, this is the New York thread.

Feel free to repost this back in the LA thread.

Sadly the tactical medic did not exist in the 90s.

In a hillarious bit of luck, an authentic NYC DOT tow truck has been found in an unlikely place - the original Men In Black film.

It's been a while. First thing I can say is that we've been gifted new spec found. MotoStringer got us a new McCormick ambulance variation.

This guy is legit as hell, if you're interested in these retro tapes, give him a sub.

Another update is progress is coming really slowly. Recently, I began to texture the civilian vehicles and vehicle bases for additional units.

This one's special - I've been meaning to get one made to replace the Jeep model we already have.
Texture and miscellaneous parts by Yankee43. He did a great job and I hope you guys can give him some love too.

With all this in mind, I'll cut back the traffic set even more. I'm not really getting as far as I want to with progress. I'll revert back to my original concept of replacing only the bare minimum, or else I'll never complete these assets, at the current rate of work.

It's been slow going for progress from me. I've sadly, not been able to do very much.

This is one of the 87-89 Mack Pumpers, early WIP.

More to come in the future, but I make no promises.

Finally got these setup.

I'm sorry guys, it had to be done. It's hideous, pitiful but it's history.

I look forward to all the laughs this thing will give you when it's ingame, equipped and ready to drive.

Now here's something more macho. It turns out there's no less than 6 variations of this Ford ambulance that NYC*EMS used. I'll try to make as many of them as I can. The other team members will be doing livery work on this, unless there's any takers looking to help.

All work in this post is by me.

At the risk of turning this into a depository of archive photos like the LA Nostalgia mod, is there any chance I could see a few? For some reason I haven't been able to find more than a quick front view of an old Taurus.

This isnt my mod or my thread, but I wouldnt mind if people posted research here.

Allow me to start off with the ones I found off archive video and google

There are photos of the Chevy Caprice, Plymouth Gran Fury and Plymouth Reliant on Facebook, posted by AJ Illenotna. I don't know how to upload them here without breaking my attachment limits, but you can find them there using his name.

I'm proud of what we've found, especially the Bronco II. Seems that nobody else knows about it.

Really proud to report that the fiberglass roof variations have been added. More apparatus is on the way

Forgot to add the mini lightbar on the Ward

Added another variation with FedSig Turbobeam mini lightbars.

New vehicles coming to the submod. I won't implement these immediately because we don't have a map with a highway, nor any commercial vehicles to play with.

I don't really have anything new at the moment but here's some unfinished civ vehicles that were textured late last year.

I'll try to focus on making playable vehicles again. I think we've got enough NPC cars already.

On another positive note, this image of the LAFD SWR van has surfaced.

West Falls I believe, I worked on that

Just popping in to greet everyone Happy New Year and a belated Merry Christmas.

Unfortunately I don't have any updates as of late. Regardless, thank you all for supporting this submod. I appreciate the research and crowdsourcing of information.

There is no way to solve it. I removed them from the submod.

I was surffing in Facebook when this pops up:

Acording to Greenlight, is a 1987 Chevrolet C20 LAPD Serarch and Rescue Mounted Platoon and Horse Trailer.

I guess that the Mouned Platoon we aint gona see it, but hope that the truck would help to your investigation

This is real, the pic was posted in the reply below yours. Sadly, police horses are still out of reach for Em4. I'll revisit it in case we can make it work.

As for all other discussions, I'll try to iron out bugs for the next version. However I stand by my decision not to rework the current assets; it's just too much work and gets in the way of fixing the bugs that are already there.

Hey Itchboy, can we have a guide to the Script menu, which difficulties and presets trigger which calls?

I won't give the specifics but the general rules are like this:

Callout type can be 1-4 for each type (fire, EMS, PD) and then difficulty is a range of 1-3  I believe.

Sub event is each specific type of the call within each difficulty bracket. I didn't memorize how many events were available for each bracket so you'll have to test it out.

I believe someone did a partial guide on how to make it work, somewhere in this thread.

Hope this helps you.

I think they would be cool as another option, maybe as an additional unit that spawns on patrol along with the marked car. I wonder if you've given any thought to trying to incorporate a removeable beacon on the unmarked Malibu like I've seen on some of the German and Spanish mods, though I'm not sure the complexity is worth it for the few weirdos like me who love those things 

Uh oh

That beacon is supposed to be removable when you turn the lights off.

If it doesnt de-spawn then you've found a bug.

This one is legit but the one from the movie might be close. Some details line up like the lights but the steady red is in the complete wrong place.

I'll file the film car as "under review". It could be the setup for the 70s and mid 1980s

Is this a new version?

It's just the same, nothing's changed

I will update it properly in the future

https://www.emergency-planet.com/files/file/1349-montana-modification/

This link should work, if it doesnt, I will reupload a second copy and modify all links across the entire site.

Unfortunately, since my posts always have to be activated by moderators (when a link is in it?), it always takes a while.
But you are welcome to read the English manual, which can be found in the mod folder under 1_readme...

Sorry about that. It has to be done this way due to the significant influx of spam bots that attack this site regularly.

I'm just wondering, who thought turning stop signs into pseudo traffic lights was a good idea? I figured out, that this is why the area gets clogged up with traffic. Redirecting just adds more fuel to the fire, because you can redirect cars only once.

I'm going to rewrite the script in the future. I'll have to study new methods in how to make it work.

For the time being I recommend using the delete traffic button.

Prior to 2.5, there was a stop sign script that was in the mod that apparently did not work. I thought it would be a good value proposition to get it working, turns out I probably should have left it out.

More content is on the way

I've never done an RV before but I figured now would be a better time than never.

I'll have to UV map tehse eventually but I will.

You have to update the game to patch 1.3
