Progress is resuming on my end after a transition to a new computer. Also, we are still in need of a modeler capable of modeling from pictures. If interested, please PM me.

He's basically got a First Responder cert. I think it's also called Emergency Medical Responder in some parts of the U.S.

:o

Excellent video, Dyson!

Looks much better now!

I vote that you should do a fictional police department for the mutual aid police department.

It looks interesting. I'd like to try it out.

Has anyone tried to convert the deluxe freeplay map so it can be used by people without EM4 Deluxe?

Dead mod is dead.

Awesome, thanks Dyson.

Hi Dyson,

I would've sent this via PM, but I was getting an error message stating that you could not receive any more messages. Anyways, on to the task at hand: I was wondering if we at the Aiken County Submod team could use your stretcher script in our submod? You would be given full credit in the readme, of course.

I am never, EVER buying a Dell again. Just thought I'd throw that our there. Also, my budget has expanded considerably with the realization that I could and should sell some of the stuff currently gathering dust in my room.

Miercolini, I was looking at that one earlier and decided it was going to be a no. I was thinking perhaps one of the other Toshiba models, but I haven't done any particularly in-depth research.

Redhawk, I wish I had the knowledge to put together a computer. I definitely would if I had the know-how, but I don't.

OK, so I'm looking to get a new laptop. A nice one, but it has to be cheap. $500 or under. 250+ GB of memory would be preferred. It would be used mainly for gaming. I was thinking maybe a Toshiba Satellite C655D-S5518, but I wanted some input from people who knew more about computers or had owned one. Any input is appreciated guys.

As I've already stated, National Park Service units will not be available in the base download, as there is no national park in Aiken County. They will be released separately.

My laptop is now being much better about it. Rescue 12 and Medic 5 are completed, but we're having problems getting them in-game. As soon as we get them in-game, I'll get some screenshots up here and see what I can do about a post in the repo thread.

Just a couple months ago, in a neighboring town, three men broke into a gun shop. The owner, who lived in a flat above the shop, heard the noise and went downstairs, armed with a rifle. Guess who ended up dead? Not the shop owner. Last I heard, two of the thugs died and one was in critical condition.

Unfortunately, I'm going to have to say that there is no guarantee that an update will come this weekend. My laptop's been awful finicky about staying turned on. I'm going to try and transfer stuff over to my desktop, but no guarantees.

EMT-Basic, yes.

OK, but first I have to explain how 911 works in my county. In my county, there are usually ten 911 ambulances operating. One ALS (which for us is a paramedic or an EMT-Intermediate) ambulance from my service, one ambulance from SouthStar EMS, a private service, one amulance from Capital City EMS, another private service, and seven from Aiken County EMS, the only non-private service in the county. Only the Aiken Rescue truck is necessarily ALS, although I think SouthStar and CapitalCity usually have ALS trucks. ACEMS does not require their trucks to be ALS. They also operate 1-3 QRVs, a quick response vehicle manned by a paramedic supervisor.

On Aiken Rescue, the truck is manned by two people with EMS certifications: an ALS provider (paramedic or Intermediate) and another one of any certification level. In addition, there may be a driver on the truck, or a cadet, or a student, or a probationary member.

OK guys, as of today, progress on my end is basically back on track. There will be a BIG update in about a week with Fire and EMS units. Also, be watching the repo thread in the off-topic section! I'll be posting there within a week. Now, on to all these great ideas:

1. More water rescues
   
2. Boat fire
   
3. Fire alarms
   

Water rescue and boat fire is going to be a no. Aiken County has no particularly large areas of water that are used for boating.

Seeing as you have a National Park Service patrol car, how bout' a poaching mission? I know their are deer on the map for the "protect top informant mission" haven't tried to shoot them though.

Not sure why we have a NPS car, as Aiken County does not contain a National Park.......

Wires Down, Trees down in the road, Transformer Fires, Person missing in the woods.

I have got several ideas.

1. Small plane or helicopter crash.

2. Multiple barricaded subjects 2 or 3.

3. Drug deal you would have to catch the dealer and the buyer.

4. Warrant, you would have to enter a home and take someone into custody, they could fight, shoot or run.

5. Kidnapping.

The small plane crash, drug deal, and warrant ideas will definitely be looked into! Unfortunately, drugs are a big problem here in Aiken County and ACSO regularly executes arrest warrants.

alright!

Here's what I would like to see:

Illegal Demo at the Hospital

Bank Robbery (more of them than the La Mod)

Stolen Vehicles (same, more than the La Mod)

I like the Boat Fire Idea and the fire alarms.

Oh and on the Fire Alarms, make it to where an engine has to respond and then the alarm company has to shut it off or the fire fighters have to shut it off.

I really like the Animal Poaching Idea, so it would be like a attempted homicide but only the person is shooting a deer or bear.

I will think about more things and post them.

As to having MORE bank robberies and stolen vehicles, that'll probably be a no. Same goes for the hospital demonstation. The fire alarm will be looked into. I know it IS possible.

I think itd be cool if you made a huge map with a few small towns and set patrol jurisdictions for the PD. Then you could have more fun with say Jackson PD rolling into Burnettown to assist at a call.

Hmm.......it's a possibility, but it will not be a primary map. The primary map will be similar to the city of Aiken. Perhaps we'll make additional maps after the primary one is finished.

All right then if we are brainstorming I can come up with some ideas for the National Park section of the map.

1. Bear trouble: A bear is causing too much trouble in the campground he has to be put down

2. Drunks in the campground: Large group of rowdy people like a riot in the game, arrest the leader.

3. Missing child in the campground: Kid wanders off and you have to find him.

4. Domestic in the campground: same as a fight in the game except at a campsite

5. Poached deer/bear/cougar in the forest: Like the attempted murder in the game except with a deer.

6 Body dumped in the forest: body found in the forest and you would have to question people to find out who to arrest.

Again, there is no National Park in Aiken, so idk why we have a NPS car......

These missions all sound great. My personal suggestions include a hurricane/storm and a search and rescue mission. I am going to review these ideas and decide on a preliminary selection to script and design.

We might try a storm mission......

I had another idea for the map.

1.In the National Park there could be a lake with some personal boats, swimmers, fishermen on it. The lake would have a dock where a NPS patrol boat would be moored. I am assuming this would be possible in the same way parking in front of a police station is possible (feel free to correct me)

2. This is more of a game idea but could you make a script where all vehicles would not move without a driver. I believe this is possible. This would add considerable realism. You might want to make it a option that could be turned off however as some people would not like it.

We'll look into the no-driver script.

• I personally really like the idea of the murder and having to question others to find out where the suspect is. You could also leave little clues around the map like skid marks, blood trails, abandoned vehicles, etc.
  
• Another is a major airline accident. You could use a rural map and have an airplane crash. You can toss in wrecked vehicles, destroyed houses and trees, fires, and tons of debris and injuries. In the fireworks mission, there's a crumbling home that falls apart and can also be put into the mix. You can check out how that works and use it.
  
• Maybe a major vehicle pile up caused by something as small as a cat on the road. You could use one of the missions maps that have a bridge. That way, on top of the pile up, you can have vehicles that went off into the water and people drowning. On the train mission there's a man hanging on the edge of the tracks, you can find out how that works and toss that into it too.
  
• *The best idea I can think of* Maybe another train accident. You can use another rural town and have the train carrying many explosive materials. When it wrecks there can be many fires and devastation. The player will have to try to keep the other tanks cool and stop the fire before they explode and kill many more. You can make it challenging by adding many spectators to surround the area. Keeping emergency personal from having easy access to the site. You can also make paths for the vehicles to be leaving the area. Can also add an accident blocking the vehicles from leaving, so once that accident is cleared the vehicle can move out of town and make it easier on the player. You could also have it set so the national guard is coming or already on scene to handle the crowd and assist in getting the people out of the town.
  

Thats my ideas. Also that website I showed you, they have that script. I personally don't care for it since the player has to activate the sirens and lights manually. Which can become hard when the player is under pressure from a major incident and many units are responding.

The murder idea will be looked into, and the pileup will as well. The airline accident is less likely. As for the train accident, you have just given me an excellent idea. A few years ago, there was a major train wreck in Graniteville, with a release of chlorine gas. Perhaps we'll make a mission based off of it.

I'm with Aiken Rescue, Inc., a non-profit EMS agency located in Aiken County. aikenrescue.org

We're taught skills that would be taught in a classroom setting if we were in EMT-B school. Includes CPR/AED, basic assessment, and BLS skills. When we turn 17 we get EVOC, too. We're not first-aiders so much as unqualified EMT-Bs. The only official certification we have is a CPR/first aid certification. We're allowed to practice at the EMT-B level as long as we are operating on one of our ambulances as a third man. We are not allowed to be second man.

It's certainly interesting, from the how it feels perspective. We ride as the third man on a 911 ambulance in a relatively busy area. We average four calls in an 8-hour shift, even though that's nothing compared to other parts of the U.S.

I've played both Oblivion and Skyrim. I like Oblivion better, but it is highly likely that that has more to do with my PC's specs than the gameplay.

I would say welcome to England, but you have lived here all your life.

And I was in an IT Lesson the other day, and a friend began complaining of severe abdo pain, to the point it was so painful she couldn't even cry and talk, and one of the school's first aider came in and just kept trying to move her to "get some fresh air", I suggested that the first aider call an ambulance because she obviously couldn't move because of how much pain she was in, it could have been a ruptured lining in the stomach or maybe even worse. In my opinion I would have called an ambulance as that would be the common sense thing to do, what about you lot?

Not an SJA cadet, or even in England for that matter, but I am an American EMS cadet. I would've called for a bus and then gone through what Entonox did below.

regarding the abdo pain, first thing i'd do is clear the room, easier to treat.

then get history, happen before? what was she doing leading up to the incident?

Then ask a rather embarrassing question regarding period pain (Had casualties before with same symptoms)

determine where the pain is located/radiating from (to see if there's a possibility of an appendicitis)

I wouldn't attempt a diagnosis (as that isn't our job)

once i've got a history / have an idea of the possible problems, determine if the level of pain warrants an emergency ambulance or other method of transportation then take from there.

Along with asking about any kind of trauma and doing a primary assessment.

The city has already been decided on. Everyone needs to stop posting, as its not going to make a difference. A mod just might as well lock this thread.
