Nah, Ill be making the park rangers car a civil vehicle. It will also be available for call out in the extra units pack. Same with the BCI.

Im planning on keeping the main file size down to its minimum as much as possible. And thank you everyone! Your patience and understanding helps move this submod along!

While we wait for permissions to be granted/switch out models, Ive been doing little work here and there. Mostly unit icons and little things like that. Thats why there hasnt been very many updates. I look at it more as we are getting everything done with one trial instead of having a million in one versions being released. But again, thank you to everyone and the people who help!

I want to agree with you about the ford interceptor. But Im still unsure. The front looked more like a fusion but the rear end looked like the interceptor. It was very similar, but Im still unsure. If I can ever get a pic of it I will. I usually just pass it on my way to work. But other than that I never see it. On top of that, its the first sheriffs vehicle I have seen without it makes marking. Theres no ford or chevy logo that I have seen on the front of the car. Its also the first sheriffs vehicle I saw that has all complete black tinted windows all the way around. The windows are pitch black! You cant see through them at all.

The rest of the pictures will be on FB! A video of the lighting will be posted around a week or so!

Cool video!

I agree with everyone else. Do not but the game from Atari! I did for my laptop. I cant access the editor, mod installer or any other application without an activation code. Now I cant even access the game without it. I have talked to support and they wont give the code. They only say for me to re-download it. Its like talking to a brick wall. Save yourself the trouble and try to buy from another source(thats creditable of course). I bought from D2D(Direct2Drive) that is now Gamefly(I bought for my desktop). Gamefly gave me my activation code, but they have not transferred the game over yet, last I checked. I only got to play the game cause I backed up my install files. Check with Gamefly and see about them. Otherwise I would go with amazon.

Thank you! And sorry, unfortunately no updates. Works been on and off for me and life has been throwing curves at me a lot lately. Although, Portage sheriff has recently taken interest into a few new vehicles. One is a Chevy Malibu and the some kind of ford suv(The images will be loaded onto the FB page). Im not sure of the model. I also noticed another ford car driving around but I cant figure out what it is.

Back on topic, I will be skinning the Malibu soon! Also, Stevenew will be showing off the extra units pack very soon! Keep in mind, nothing is set in stone as of right now. Everything still has to be organized and most of the lighting needs redone.

Sorry for the lack of updates lately, I just now finally got settled in with this computer and got everything set up and working. Right now the main things that are being worked on are so minor, that its pointless to show. But I will be getting updates going very soon!

Engine 10 looks absolutely amazing! I cant wait to see it lighted! Great work!

Did you check the V3Os? Double check the names of the prototypes in the list and the ones in the files. Also, you can try removing the current command on the vehicle, and add a new one. Im just throwing out ideas.

Found it for the engine..but not for the ambulance.

Firestation script:

const char OBJ_ENGINE01[] = "mod:Prototypes/Vehicles/02 London Fire Brigade/dpl01.e4p";

To firestation script:

const char OBJ_ENGINE01[] = "mod:Prototypes/Vehicles/02 London Fire Brigade/dlp01.e4p";

The spelling is different with one of them. Im not familiar with the London mod so I dont know the correct spelling. A lot of times its simple things like that.

Are you having this problem with each vehicle? Or just these two?

Okay, okay guys. That is my fault, when I added '/other addons' I must have erased WIP. Its fixed now though.

As for firefightercommando120, the submod hasnt been released yet. Thank you for your interest though!

We are now on TS3! We do share the server with my good friend, griffy, who is the one who put together the server! You are more than welcome to come on there and chat with me and other users who want to talk about the submod or other topics! I will be on and off of TS. But if anyone needs to speak to me personally, please let me know and we can see when we both are available! I will typically check on in the afternoon(EST).

TS3:

haha i ment la mod 2.1 because its stil a submod that you add on the the la mod. or are all the files in the submod it self:)

oke so in the futere all the addons will be able to match the new submod nice nice

Oh no worries, the submod will come with all the necessary files. You will add it just like any other mod

If you want, I could try to actually transfer those skins over to a Em4 CVPI model to see how it looks this weekend maybe, just shoot me a PM on it, and thanks I might release them on where you saw em

That would be great! Ill shoot you one!

I actually have an Akron CVPI skin not for Em4 but for GTA, I actually go to Akron on the weekends and a Akron mod would be sweet.

Thank you! Once this modification is finished, Ill be looking into doing Akron. I saw some of your pictures before, and that'd be a great start!

Marshall, as someone who lives near Ravenna, I cannot wait to try this out.

If you wanna try an Akron mod, I would love to help you make one(I have always wanted to try skinning) and supply photos from around here

Thank you! Ive been thinking about it, of course it'll be a while before I can do much for another modification.

Yep! It'll ask if you want to merge. Some will overwrite and most wont. But always click yes and overwrite, otherwise the full submod will have to be deleted and replaced.

And when the submod is released, we will options for people to go to for help. Also, anyone who has TS3 will be able to talk to me and others personally and we can walk people through the process; or Im always available on Facebook or this forum.

2.1? Are you meaning the Ravenna Emergency/Civil Vehicle Addon? This addon is not an update, its just a separate pack of vehicles. This keeps the main file size down to its minimum, while offering others to add the packs they want.

The DHS units are not compatible right now, but will be made ready. So all you'll have to do is merge the files like you did when you first downloaded the pack. The civil truck is already in the game, with an unmarked version as well. As for the Ravenna Emergency/Civil Vehicle Addon, the base files are most likely going to be preset into the base game since they do not affect the file size. All you will have to do is merge the files together.

Its listed on another forum. You will have to register to download the file.

I really like the Ford Tarus patrol car and unmarked. The EMS ambulances are also really cool! I really like everything about this mod.

Hehe I really like the lights on them

Once you expand the station, you can click on it and go under the vehicle tab.

For some people, you will get more money by doing theirs rather than your own.. If you want, search me and add me. I have the same name on there as on this forum.

Same here, haha. I only have one fire truck and it takes about 10 minutes for several of the calls

Me too, I just a police car and upgraded my one FD and PD station. Now Im saving up for another engine.. For money, I found out the best thing to do, is mutual aid. Others missions can get you a ton of credits..

I never even heard of it, now Im hooked..

Dont forget to modify your freeplaybase.xml file in your specs folder and the portraits.xml. Those are the two biggest ones.

And you can look around this tutorial to trace your steps.

Thank you to everyone who has voted!

I only entered the poll to see others opinion. No matter what this submod will continue. Too many people have put in their hard work and their time into progressing this submod. And I am very thankful for their help!

Also, today I stopped at a little fair Ravenna has every year. I got over 60 pictures of some our city fire departments apparatus. I edited them down to 36 pictures and posted them on our Facebook page. So go check them out! Some photos have been edited to protect others privacy If you have any questions about them, let me know!

The radiation is something totally different. The color options on the bottom right: Change the numbers to mix the colors of the radiation

Thank you to everyone for your patience as this submod progresses. I do apologize for the lack of updates recently as for home life has taken a turn for the worst. I do still check the forums as much as I do Facebook

On other news,

1. I am trying to keep the progress going by adding more additional units and working and fixing up the old ones.
   
2. A new map may be introduced into the gameplay but will only be released with the expansion pack. Since maps take forever to work on, it will not be included in the initial release. I think everyone has waited long enough.
   
3. With the release of the Manhattan mod, new models have been created. The models are freely usable(with due credits) and some will be placed into the Ravenna submod. So expect to see a few familiar models. Also, I would like to take the time to thank them for such a great modification and for their hospitality with allowing the models to be used.
   
4. As well, the Ravenna submods release time may be pushed back further with the lack of permissions for some of the models. Most of the models that do not have permission to be released are in the process of being replaced by(some better models) ones that are usable.
   
5. A new mission may be introduced later on! I am currently working on making an interesting yet basic mission that will be based off a real life event.
   
6. A little update that for you. An air raid siren has been added to the gameplay. Although it has not been scripted to make people go into hiding, it does offer another playable item for the player.
   
7. A second update. The trains work has begun! You will now hear the train use its horn as it passes through Ravenna. It will be using the K5LA. I have found recordings of the horn on a YouTube video and have introduced them into the submod itself. Of course the person will receive the credit.
   
8. One last thing for the Ravenna submod. The Ravenna submod recognizes holidays. So, if you follow the front page you will notice little changes being done to the front cover. Holiday decorations and backgrounds will change as the holidays do. We also recognize days of events. Including the memorial day of 9/11. Not only will the front page be decorated, but you will get to see exclusive memorial vehicles painted to show our remembrance. The 9/11 vehicle is currently being worked on and will be released once it is finished. And of course, Halloween is coming up..so expect to see a vehicle designed for that as well.
   

On other news:

Without forgetting, Ausavin has left me with the responsibility of working on the Anchorage mod. Progress will be continuing on that once I get back on my feet with my home life. I have some good ideas that will be shown off soon. Anyone who wishes to help in advancing the modification forward, please feel free to contact me via PM! We are looking for a skinner and basic lighter at the moment since I do not have the time to do so myself.

Thank you! And thank you to anyone who actually read this entire post!
