C.F.D

Hi, guys,

I made a thread about this last year, and while I did have most of my answers addressed, I am curious, is there anyone here who is able to create new coronas ? I have a few suggestions but I don't know how. Any volunteers ?

Some more stuff for the light equipment pack. No, I don't take requests.

Permission granted  

You don't have my permission to use the lights for the GMC truck that i did for the Manhattan mod. It's fine for personal use, but if you plan on releasing it to the public with my lights, i won't be happy about that ... 

I tried installing your light equipment pack and it's not appearing at all in the editor. I know where to install it, but i guess it's missing E4P files ?? 

edit :

Apparently i need to create prototype files for the lights. Does anyone here already have them made so i can download them ??

Beautiful job, buddy. Let me know if you ms like me to light them up for ya.

New lights coming soon

So guys, just curious what the general population is for Emergency 5. vote away in the poll.

Let me know if you'd like me to light up your units

Thanks, Tony. You'll have it this weekend

Is anyone else interested in this ??

I remember when I first registered on the community forum, LA mod came out of it's diapers for Emergency 4. The community was alive and growing at the time, because of the versatile abilities to mod the game which inspired the youths to challenge their creative controls. They had an audience to produce products for, a large demand for supply. As the years went by, the counts of new members went up, and more mods came alive, emulating on the LA mod.

I was young, like most of us here, and had a lot of free time to create something that requires a lot of labour and attention. Emergency 4 at the time was well understood and it was easier for anybody to start making a mod because of support groups readily available to address any conflicts with solutions.

Unfortunately, Emergency 5 will probably not follow the same footsteps. It is a series of mazes that makes us a lost fart in a blizzard when it comes to understanding the anatomy of emergency 5. All of the great modders of Emergency 4 are adults now and I can imagine that they can't allocate the same commitment to create something from scratch for EM5. It's a catalyst. I made the very first "mod" for EM5 and already I barely have anybody downloading it. It declined over the weeks, because the game is er basic and has no replayability. This does not motivate me at all. Sure I might spend a lot of time in the editor creating different light packages, but I feel compelled not to release it because there's nobody displaying interest in it.

There's also the fact that the game was designed for German players. They have a step up from us because they can understand the language faster and comprehend the vortex veins of emergency. 5 before we will. It's a race to see who's more superior. Already I'm seeing one or two modellers creating new models for emergency 5 because they figured out the process to import it in the editor but is there a English instruction on it ? No, they're keeping the cookies in their own jar. So we're forced to register on their community forum to gain limited support control. How can this motivate us western players to create something if we're the alienated community.

I won't be surprised if it takes more than a year or two before we see new scripts and mods for the game. But until then, don't expect an alive community for EM5.

So I have to gamble wether if I should accelerate the production for RCMP modification or just retire from the community as whole until I see life in the EM5 community.

speaking of Rotatory lights, check out my red-blue package WIP preview :

Thank you. Are you referring to the Police general patrol car ?

Well done, bud. Downloading it.

Good concept but it's too soon to make a mod. We still don't have a good understanding of how the editor works yet, so it may take a while to decipher the anatomy of emergency 5.

Good luck though !

Bill I'll make a short video explaining the basics of light editing in EM5 editor. I'll post the video in this topic when I'm done. Make sure you subscribe to this thread to recieve notifications of new replies.

This is why I don't like the QSF editor, it keeps corrupting my files everytime someone installs the mod. I tried it myself, it works. Some users installed it and worked, but others like you, didn't work ...

the editor should not be running an integrity check in the first place. It seems like when it notices a new prefab file, it declares it alien and deletes it by it self. How the f are we suppose to make mods if the editor won't let us save it truly ...

The 2nd folder that you mentioned isn't even required for installation.

I don't know why this keeps happening. Really frustrating.

Oh yeah way better thanks!

Did the installation work for you ? Are the lights working in-game ?

Hey, I just want to say this is an amazing mod you've made, I can't imagine playing without it, I noticed you're working on the next version, could I ask do the red flashing lights only display when the vehicle is stopped and if not is that something that's possible or not?[/quote

Thank you. It's not possible while it's stationary otherwise I would do it. I did add brake LEDs for some cars so I don't know that'll help. It'll be in the new version which will be released next week after some more testing.

Looks like an admission of apology for not keeping up to their promises by keeping features like the above in the original release ...

This should have been added in the first place but at the same time I'm looking forward to the DLC ... However I won't be excited this time.

In your EM5 directory, go to Data> em5> content> sequence > timeofday. Open "timeofday_default.json" with notepad and about ten lines down there's a "BeginTime: 0". I changed it to 12 and it started at night time. I'm assuming it runs from 0-24.

Fantastic, thanks Bama. Keep an eye on the project reality lights thread, I think you'll like it

I meant for EM5 single player campaign and single player freeplay mode, no mods.

Thanks for the help boys. Does your suggestions still apply for single player ?

Can anyone point me the right direction where I can edit the freeplay settings and have all the maps start out at night time instead of day time ?
