"E:\WizardWorks\911 - First Responders\Em4.exe" -editor Put that in your target bar. just make sure to change the proper files and locations....andd....

BACK TO TOPIC

yes you do. it is build into the game engine. All you have to do is copy over the em4.exe and add -editor at the end of the target line. I know because I have the atari edition

God forbid people do a little work and change the lights themselves

It wont do everything for them, but it will add a modular feel to it so if they WANT to they can. and its not hard to alter a few lights. If anything it will be a nice kickstarter for people to start modding; instead of people making posts like "I R DONT NO HOW TO MOD. U HELPZ?!".

I have worked on the LA Mod, NYC Mod, I created the Emergency Submod and Currently working on a Wyoming County, PA Submod; I also created a mod for a 911 clan I am in called city stations. The Tutorials are located in the download section. Rut has done very well with providing tips on map making and Hoppah has some on basic modding. Good luck!

Well my friend. Welcome to the forums! I would highley suggest starting out on your own and seeing what you can do. There are alot of tutorials on this site that explain what and how do do certain things. But be patient, I have been modding for quite awhile and it does not happen over night. It takes time and effort. When I started in 07, I knew nothing. Now I can do it all; all you need to do is play around with settings and scripts and see what happens when you change a value. Good luck!

Well here is the issue with light patterns. In the Light script, all it does is turn on any lights classified under as "Blue Lights" In the editor. Also in the editor there are only so many classifications, such as Headlights, Standard, blue lights, special lights, left blinker, right blinker, and brake lights. So if I was to have alternate patterns, I could only have a max of two(Which I already have plans for) so Unless someone finds another way to do it, it wont be usable. Sirens, I dont know about just becuase there are 4 volunteer stations on the freeplay map, plus 2 off map. Imagine how difficult it would be to micromanage each siren for each vehicle? I was just going to stick with basic ones.

About the Peirce Quantum, I have a model of that made and I will add it into the models file, but I wont make a vehicle for it ingame. I am keeping it as authentic as possible to my own county(Which to my knowledge does not have any peirce quantums)

Also hopefully I video will be up tonight for you all show casing the new system!

So I was working at the station today. We were rearranging the Brush and engine supplies. And I realized two things.

Firstly, is that Ever volunteer department in the world has different apparatus. Even if they are the same make and model chassis, the way the engines, brush trucks, tankers, and aerials are arranged and aset up are all different. so then I thought, why do I have to limit my mod with just how Wyoming county does things? So I came up with a new system for modeling vehicles in thegame. I will have the base chassis as the vehicle. Then you can change the style of doors, the hose bed, the pump panel, hoses, if it has a Ddeck or not, and even the light bars. Its not hard to do. All I had to do was not attach everything to the model when I imported it. Instead I brought everything in as children, which can be added in the editor by a simple click. So this way, if you want your own station's apparatus in there, you have some leaway on how the vehicles are arranged.

Second, This game is alive today becuase of modders and want to be modders. I remember when I was younger, I always wanted to make my own department for EM3. So I am going to be working on tools that can help you LOOSLEY set up your own department, and a guide will be included in the mod to tell you how to do it step by step

Are there any other suggestions people would like to add? I am open to them. Besides, this mod is for you guys in the end, and if you want something specific please let me know.

Well I am doing custom calls and dispatches. I have a working script for each house, tree, and building that can catch fire so that it has aspecific dispatch for each one. I am NOT going to be using 1-5 sound bytes multiple times. I am going to do this right.

If anyone else is interetsed and has not PM'd me, here is the script you can use.

Here is the script for testing to see if you can do some voices for my mod:

If you want to try for dispatcher,

*Tones go off* Station 7, station 1, Station 2 for an engine and a tanker, Station 9 for a tanker........(Pause for 1-2 seconds)......respond, Box 7 dash 1, eaton township(Pause), on route 92 south just over the river bridge. for a commercial fire alarm at the Holiday Inn. Alarms going off on the 3rd floor....We have multiple calls of smoke on the second and third floor....Repeating.(Then Repeat)

If you want to be firefighter:

Engine 7 to Wyoming county be advised, we are on scene and have flames showing from the third story. Approximately 2 rooms are involved. Advise chief 7 to request a 2nd alarm fro station 12 and station 5.

If you want to be chief:

Chief 7 to Wyoming county, I copy that response from engine 7. I am requesting to elevate this to a second alarm and I am requesting an additional engine from station 12 and a tanker from station 5 to respond. I am establishing holiday inn command.

Just record whatever lines you want and upload them to me. I will be deciding based off of how you speak, the pitch and enunciation of your voice, and if you are still willing to do any work.

Hey All! I am opening up recruitment for anyone interested in doing audio work for my upcoming submod! In free play, all of the calls have a specific toneout and description. I need several peeople to act as different dispatchers and firefighters giving reports and toning out departments. PM me if interested.

Also if you want to offer other services, give me a PM as well. I am doing everything on my own as of now, but any help counts! I dont specifically need any expertise, all thescripts are done and themodels are being worked on by me, so offer if you want to help!

Regards,

Helljumper

Station 7 and 1 are so close together becuase in Tunkhannock, Triton Hose co(Station 7) is all fire. Station 1 is all ems. this occurred a long time ago and if you honestly combined both departments, you would have over 20 apparatus ha ha. And as of right now, no on the snorkel.

I have a random question. How come the decision was made to use .PNG and .BMP files for textures? Just for more resolution/clarity?

Hey all! Going away for a few weeks! I will be working on this on my labtop but I wont show any updates for atleast a week.

Lol maybe in a future release. I would probably add station 12 first.

Did station 63 have any brush fires today? I didnt hear any but not sure. We had 1 bad one at a nunnery

We used to, but our town asked to shut it down because it was "Noisy". next they were fighting for us to not have our sirens on. we said STFU.

Another Announcement!!! I have added in 3 different types of grass models that can catch fire. From small blades of it to bushes. Should make brush fires more interesting. Video to come soon!!!

Brush 7 is done(97%). I Will be doing the back wheel well right now and working on the full interior in a day or so.

yeah. and I literally just decided factoryville when i was writing this. Originally it was going to be station 12.

UPDATE:

Here is the front of Brush 7. I plan on going into as much detail as possible on all vehicles. Here is a side by side veiw:

And the back with indian packs and two airpack cases strapped on.

Also I am looking into Alpha textures as windshields and windows, along with adding the full Station 7 fleet(that we have in real life).

It may take some time but it WILL be completed. Longest time consuming task will be the modeling. Scripts are all done(not tested yet though which means some probably dont work.). I plan on going into as much detail as possible with the models so I expect atleast a solid week for each model.
