ok so what i want to do is change the stations around a bit. I want to try to get the tiller in where the Aerial is located and switch the aerial with the hazmat, just becuase the hazmat is kinda useless. then i want to put the light equipment in for that ambulance in station 2. and to replace the heavy rescue, put in the usfs tanker. how would I go about doing this?

if you want the deck gun usable then you have to make it as a separate model. and the middle boxes do have hoses, but the poly count was getting to high so it is just a basic box to be skinned. because you cant see the detail that close anyway, its where you can skimp so the game doesn't crash.

is this mod dead?

just wait till you see rescue 5.... I modeled it

engine 4. not finished. but about 50%

what modeling program do you use?

how will the script generator work? I know for me making scripts is the hardest part...but one of the most handy parts of EM4 modding.

Alright guys, does anyone know how I can switch the Hazmat truck and the light equipment truck? i kinda like to use it as a rescue squad/car accident first response vehicle. Note: I tried to use the other forums posts for help but some of the things have changed in the scripts. so i am lost here ><

sounds like a challenge!!! I offer any assistance if you want some. I Model in 3ds max and I can convert to zmodelr if needed.

well i want to clear some things up with some of you all. 1) i am not stupid and not niave to the game industry. i gave you all the basics of my game. no details. my actual game's detals along with some programming is in tree notebooks that i keep revising and adding stuff to. no one has ever seen this version. 2)I know how the industry works and all your suggestions are helpful and i am glad to have support. thank you all who gave me ideas. 3) to a response i saw about making it a generic game, ex. making it about all fire companies, here is what i have to say. the United states and the rest of the world pretty much have 2 different types of vehicles. i live in the US and am more familiar with the US model. and to make a game to have all of that and be able to choose what type of vehicle you want is a tremendous job and would require hundreds of additional models. 4) i have a demo in progress right no...i might release it for some of you to try..well a select few. and i already have concept art, a power point presentation, sales figures for popular firefighting games and even a sales pitch. and i already copyrighted the games name and the story line. 5) finally i am no stranger to the gaming world. i have contacts in multiple companies and sites. for example, i tried selling this idea to EA Games. they denied because of security reason but they offered me a job as a Animator/Modeler intern starting at 40 hours a week..paid. so the chance of this game becoming a game looks good. if any of you can help spread the word and help support this game please do so. Thank you all for supporting me!

are you hinting at somthing? ;p

well i have not near enough experience nor time to make this game. i made the idea and want to have some other company make it.

i am mostly looking for ways to get support and show these companies that people WILL buy this game. i need ways on how to influence them. i already sent a wave of letters to several companies in feb. but only a few replied. but one offered me a job so now i just need to find a way to sell my idea across

lol, ummmm when someone decides to look at it

hey guys. i am currently in the process designing a game about being a firefighter or EMT. its an action rpg thingy. i have been working on it for about 2 years now. and right now i contacted some gaming websites and they want to see support. so here is my idea: you can create your own character either a firefighter or EMT. then you go through the "academy" otherwise known as a tutorial. and the game works like this. in story mode you are assigned to a randomly generated station as either the firefighter or EMT. whichever you chose will be your job. obviously the firefighter will be assigned to a engine, or Areal, or rescue. while the EMT will be assigned to the same or an ambulance. you can choose which station and or vehicle assignment you want to join up as. think of it like a job application. you get a screen that has all the info about this "job" like what vehicle you are assigned to and what station and etc. and then it will have a pay grade(you use money to upgrade your equipment and other specials)you can decline or accept any job. and once you are there, say you are a firefighter. you are assigned a locker and a position on the truck(if your just made a character at lvl 1 then you will be either exterior, or interior) and a job. then say a call goes out. structure fire at such and such a place. so you go to your locker, put your gear on and go to your truck. you have to hurry or you will miss it!. and you can choose to drive it(even thought its not your position) or ride. if you drive then you have full control of the truck. lights, sirens, everything. and you will get a way point for the position of the fire. think open world. if you ride in it you will hit a load screen and will automatically arrive on scene. you basicaly do what you told by the captain or lt on the truck. stuff like take the crosslay and attack the fire inside or hook up water supply, then ventilate the roof. etc. and all you equipment you find on your truck. but the trick is you have to know where it is on the truck. and its like that. you get xp for completing a fire call or "mission" and can put it towrds either cash, or points like strength or speed etc. and here is the cool part. with money you can purchase new gear, change colors, better equipment and the best part...BACKUP yes like if you have a bad fire, you can use some money to call in a second company to assist. you cant control them, but the will help make the fire easier to control. and with xp you gain lvls. and with new levels you might get a chance to be promoted, or find a better position at the new station. you can go all the way up to captain..or you can just be like a lvl 40 firefighter. and ways to increase you skill points are like, the station has a weight room to get more strength and you can play mini games like in madden where you can lift weights and etc. for EMT you do the exact same except you can play a medical mini game where you treat patients like in real life. in free play, you get to have real fun. you can choose a fire station layout design(like how many stories or bays the station has) and then you get a budget to buy vehicles and hire a crew. and the vehicles are full customizable. like you can add crosslays, equipment, lights, etc. change colors too. add text and logo. then once in game you can choose your position or just go free lance and do whatever you want. you can be the captain and give orders, and still go into the building. and you can earn money from different calls to buy new trucks or upgrade your trucks or whatever. what do you guys think? any suggestions? how do i convince a game company to make this? any ideas on how to get support? -Eric Smith NOTE: I AM NOT MAKING THIS GAME! JUST THE IDEA!. I AM TRYING TO GET A COMPANY TO MAKE IT!!!

i am willing to donate to you hoppah. it isnt much, and dont consider it a bribe. but think of it as a thank you from Triton Hose Company of Tunkhannock, Pennsylvania, United States. we are all volunteer and we really enjoy your work. and your dedication is remarkable. thank you

it is insulation from the frame of the car and the seats.. and no. in the united states for pictures like it is not allowed(i dont think illeagll tho) to show pictures of a human body. trust me for anyone who is curious about "seeing" one. dont. i am only 17 and I saw some crap at a car accident i hope none of you see in your life. somtimes being a firefighter has its bad days.... anyway. hoppah nice manual. i actually took the time to read it . one question though. what truck is the gated wye on? i couldn't find it in the manual. maybe i over looked but i looked twice. thanks.

lol.....yesterday a lonely boy from (insert country here) and now...A STAR!!!! lol. hoppah trust me. dont join. these things are all about "ooohh talk to me" and "how did you do that" except asked in a really annoying leprechaun voice....well maybe not leprechaun but...it gets annoying. you can join if u want, but it is too much hastle to work with.

but his point is, you can still support them. I know with my mod I have some very dedicated supporters and I know they will be excited when release it. what usually will kill a mod is the support and help it gets. it take a helluva long time to do it by one's self. ask hoppah that. he works mostly alone but even he has help from mikey and mikes photos and stan, etc.

here is a question. i noticed in game for la mod there are 4 or 5 ambulances. why do we need that many? i know that i only use one, but why 5? also, is the light equipment truck going to be carrying the emts? i know in the 70's, a vehicle like that called teh rescue squad carried paramedics and they also functioned as firefighters. Is that how it is now in la? Cuz i was thinking that make the light equipment vehicle carry all those tools plus the medic bag, and then the paramedics or whichever one heals people, ride in that squad. it would be interesting to see one station to house that squad so that it can get on scene faster before the ambulance. i might be completely wrong because i don't know much about recent la fire departments. mike, any suggestions? -Eric

How do you call the truama helicopter? also, Is there anyway that I can get more than one monitor at a fire?

Hoppah, would you be able to make it so we can use Deck guns on the ground? I think they are called moniters. that would be pretty sweet to see in game and helpful on large fires.

lol, I have some La Country Fire Company vehicles done....but its from the old Tv Show emergency :/

AND ITS DONE!!!!!! I feel I Made the old Squad Proud

Hey guys. its down to the wire here. we are close to getting a beta out. so far all we need to do is get the vehicles textured and put in game. but I need stuff done that I don't have the skills to do: Not Started In game Done Model Done Textured Squad 51 Engine 51 Engine 110 Engine 108 Ambulance 1 Ladder 8 Squad 110 Squad 8 Engine 8 Battalion 8 Support 108 Ambulance 2 *Response Script *Biophone Script *Light Script *Scripts to be used ingame Scripts Response Script Explanation-it is made for each station. hopefully we will have 3 fire stations. but anyway, what I would like it to do is to spawn all the assigned units for each vehicle, turn on the sirens, and you right click somewhere on the map and it makes them go to that spot. for example, there is a car accident and you want to have station 51 respond to the scene. you click the little icon that looks like station 51 and right click(or left click, whatever) anywhere by the scene and the tones for that station go off and the people spawn in the station and go to the trucks, the trucks lights go on, and the sirens go on and they respond. Biophone Script Explanation-When your paramedic gets on scene, you have a choice of pulling the Biophone(radio used in the Emergency TV shows) off the squad. when you do, you right click the guy holding the biophone and he sets it up. then you can right click on the screen somewhere and it spawns an ambulance from off screen and brings it to your location with two stretcher guys. Lights Script Explanation-basically, you turn the lights on and off Editor I need someone who can add lights, doors, children, etc. plus someone who can add vehicles and equipment and personnel. Models I am done with all but two I think. and I will texture asap. If you guys still want to help, pm me so i know. also any questions, comments, or additions, let me know. Sincerely yours, Eric J.
