Tim

Not shure if you know this or have allready fixed this but ten truck's hubcaps are silver not red. Same for engine 10. Also the Bureau of training's engines hubcaps are red

Never noticed that at all. Maybe they have.

We already fixed that. But we do not see any reason to update the pictures at the moment. There is more important work. But to let you know, this aspect is already fixed.

im talking about updating the discussion board

Then you should write posts that make sense.

UPDATE! UPDATE! UPDATE! UPDATE!?????????????????????

can mean all and nothing. How should anybody get what you mean by reading this post?

All the information that is public is on the first page. It does not help you to know if we work on model A or B, on script X or Y or whatever. We already show everything we want to show, there is absolutely no need to ask for any update.

NO! NO! NO! NO! NO!

Seriously, what do you think? Do you think we just wait for you screaming around to show something?

If there is something to show, we will show it. Is it that hard to get that?

I just don't get what's wrong with the people. Are you blind or dumb?

I think they have a different system.

That's correct, we base our gameplay on a mission. Information on how this works can be found in our old topic.

Can you give us a list of what you have compleated and what you still have o work on?

No, we keep our lists and everything else intern, as the information given in all that documents would be heavily misinterpreted by most of the people, because most of them do not know which task takes the most time and how important it is for the mod. So to save us trouble, we do not publish this information.

The fact is not everybody can do that, because that's pure advanced mathematics.

Advanced? No way This is simple linear equation stuff, nothing advanced there, basic things everybody learns at school.

We know there is vertical ventilation but will there be horizontal as well?

At the moment horizontal ventilation is not implemented. I am testing some concepts, but until now, none of them made me really happy. I keep on working on that, and I will try to include horizontal ventilation as well

Also will ventilation actually have an effect on the fire or will it be purely cosmetic?

It does have an effect. It increases the effectiveness of fire fighting, compared to a non ventilated building.

I saw that video yesterday, and was thinking of the same idea

We will have some eastereggs for sure, who knows what will be there

apart from the little scripts that I even could make, and some models.

Trust me, all the "little scripts" run on a base of a huge mission script, which is freaking much work.

The ladder climbing is nice but is doable in a long time effort.

Why long time effort? That's simplest math stuff, everybody can do this, it's just some creativity to do this.

Sure

Why should we put both tools in the mod, if there would be no use for them?

Yep.

Give us some time, we will fix that

are they going to look like those weird stretcher bearers in previous mods or something more realistic like one person pushing a striker stretcher

I can tell you, I'm not satisfied with the original stretcher system. You can expect something new.

The system won't be as detailed as the RTS one. How should it work? You fight fires, have numerous victims, and everyone needs to be treated like in the RTS mod?! No way, no one can manage that.

Crappy models

Crappy textures

Crappy mod

Of course this is not a nice way to state any critics, but honestly guys, how shall they improve their work, if everyone's saying "great work!" "awesome" "looks great!" if it is not? I really do not want to bash anyone, but most of the models just aren't "awesome". Let's take a look at your ambulance:

http://forum.emergency-planet.com/index.php?app=core&module=attach&section=attach&attach_rel_module=post&attach_id=4990

and now take a look at the real ones:

http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2172/1539185846_f93a405db0.jpg

1. The proportions do not fit. The driver's cab is way too long

2. The virtual model is way too "curved"

3. The headlights are way too big, they go all the way down...

Concerning the other models:

-The station's skin is just one brown shade, the gates are copied from a real photo. That does not work, it's hard to mix hand-painted skin with photorealistic ones, but do not paint the whole building brown, and put a very tiny part of photos on it.

-Most of your unit's skins are mirror-inverted

-The models are too "boxy", they need some details

I do not expect perfect work, it's just a matter of training, but give them a chance to improve! If you always say "whoa, perfect!" they'll never improve, 'cause they think there's no need for it. Tell them what's wrong, what could be improved, constructive critic is the best thing you can get as a modder!

Hy tim. glad to see that you comment our topic, I can sure you that one i have ask for your models is for the portuguese mod. I can prove you that.

You can go to google and put VUCI FATIMA and you can see the american fire truck tha i want of you...

And this is a image to prove:

Alright, I just did not see any pics of your portuguese american-style truck, and thought that you wanted them for this project. Sorry for any inconvenience

And my team is not here to compete to yours... If you want something, tell us... we can help, we are friends of all ermegency 4 game...

Thanks

And have a nice day

We do not look at any team as a competitor. We all have a similar goal, we want to make EM4 better, so don't worry, we take that easy

Please tell me that this is not the project for which you wanted our models?!

The events are hardcoded and cannot be changend in another way than changing the "open" parameters.

They've been done by someone in the german forum. Unfortunately, I did not find the link, yet. I'll hand it over, once I found it

I'm working on the car tuning system right now. But I'm not at home the next week, so there will be some videos on the 6.3.2010, I think, but I can not promise that!

Some time ago I worked on a Zombie-mod. Something like "28 days later". But unfortunately I never finished my work on this, and now there are more important projects. But who knows, maybe some day this mod will be released

Concerning the units, I don't really care if they are US, British, French, Spanish, German or whatever. It takes 5 minutes to change the models, if you don't like them, change them

Nice, so we're able to collect weapons and go "bang-bang"..?

Yep Although I'm not sure which weapons will be included.

You're really starting to make me hate that word lol

You should get used to it

edit:

Oh, and by the way, I'll release this mod before everything is included. So I'll change my strategy compared to the NY mod. Once the first district is done, and the most important features are included, I will release a "0.x" version.

So you do a crime and the police comes too sometimes, or is it just you and the crimes?

It may happen that the police arrives on the scene. And if you are still there, you have to deal with them

Does this take place in the us?

No, it's more like a fictional state

I don't know about you, but doesn't this sound like GTA 4?

Maybe.

I'm still not quite sure how this mod will work. It will remain like EM4 but you no longer control the Emergency Services you control Dave Black and commit crime.....? Is that right? If so, cool, I like a different stand point.

Yes, that's it. Emergency services will be controlled by a simple AI, you are a criminal.

You will control everything with the usual EM4 Interface. There will be some new interfaces of course, but you will get the hang of it easily.

There will be different tasks, and you should find out on yourself how to accomplish them

That's something I did not decide on,yet. It can be changed in 5 minutes, as it is regardless which visual models are used. I can use the standard EM4 units, or use something else. If someone wants to recommend models, feel free to do that.

That's a mind copy of the thieves tale from Bass-ti, in another story. reads good.

The thieves tale was my inspiration for that. Nevertheless, I won't use it in any way, I want to create something completely new.

Hello everybody,

today I'd like to present a new project I started some time ago. It is, compared to existing mods, very unusual and I think it is some kind of "conversion mod".

Who is Dave Black, and what is this all about?

Dave Black is the main character of this mod. And YOU are Dave Black. Dave is a nameless criminal, and he wants to reach the top of his league. So, get into Dave's everyday-life and do whatever it takes to become a rich and famous person.

What? You do not save people, you are a criminal?

Yes, this mod is not the same as the original Emergency. Of course you still have contact to police, ambulance and fire departments, but now you are on the other side!

What features does this mod offer?

Many. A little impression:

• Steal cars
  
• break ins
  
• Numerous districts, all connected to each other, and playable without restarting the game
  
• use a taxi to get around
  
• buy a plane ticket and relax in the sun
  
• use your mobile phone to call the police, ambulance, fire department, pizza, your friends or your family
  
• Steve: He's Dave's brother. Call him if you think you need help. He can take care of the cops, while you grab some nice TV sets out of the shelf
  
• buy cars (put them into your garage to save them )
  
• SAVE YOUR GAME! a new way to save data makes it possible to save your progress!
  
• car tuning (give it some nitro, or plant a bomb in it)
  
• and many more
  

Play in a dynamic environment!

If you break into a shop, and the alarm goes off, be sure to get away before the cops arrive. If they see you, they'll hunt you. And they can call additional units. And you don't want that to happen...

Grab some food in a fast food restaurant, or at a snack bar. It will increase your health...

No snack bar in sight? Call an ambulance. Grab your mobile phone and dial 911. They always help you.

Any fire in sight? Call the fire department, they'll respond to your call at any time.

Being under pressure of some other criminal groups? Call the cops and let them deal with them.

Screenshots? Yep!

Some small impressions of the "start-district"

The river boardwalk:

The "triple-arc-bridge". It leads you to the next district. Unfortunately it is closed. Can you unlock it?

Any questions?

Unless it is regarding a release date, feel free to ask

And no, I can NOT estimate a release date, yet

A map that is 5 times bigger than the maximum size of 8192²pixel is not possible.

You can try as much as you want, EM4 does not support it. If you want to support a larger gamearea, you will have to find script related solutions, and combine multiple maps. You cannot have one map that is bigger than 8192² pixel.
