  3. Problem with surfaces in zmodeler

    in Modding Related Support

    They aren't welded cause welding it destroys UV Mapping. Polygons are very close cause I enabled snapping to verticles. Usually when they are not close enough holes are visibly in zoom in not zoom out.

    I thought so. My second guess would have been the texture but seeing it only happens when you zoom out It might be something to do with your graphics setup on your computer. Does it show up like this any other times like in the EM4 editor or any other program that it can be exported to?

    Why not add a thanks button?!

    or activating the post + or - buttons in the bottom corner of each post. I would use them when all i want to say its "good job" but dont know if others will!

    I think this was raised somewhere else about the + - buttons and was disabled because some kid wouldn't like someone so he would - all his posts. Or something like that.

    Kind of OT, but whats the name of those sirens that sound like an old dial up modem combined with something from star wars? lol.

    Do you mean the Sweep/Scan tones on the Federal Signal Unitrol series sirens?

    I am not 100% sure but there might be a Californian regulation the restricts the usage of these tones :)

    I was watching videos, thats how I came up with the sirens that I posted above.

    Eg. I was watching a video of multiple LASD units responding. There were mainly Smart Sirens but there was a MS4000 in with them aswell or a pursuit with CHP and LAPD, CHP had their own PA500's and one had a MS4000 while the LAPD had a Touchmaster. Even if they were slightly older or newer, there are still multiple sirens that are used there and even though they may not be installing new sirens into the vehicles at that moment, there will still be existing ones on the street.

    I was thinking about creating a small siren submod, with more realistic sirens for mainly the police. I will do some research into what sirens that they use

    Some features I was thinking of are

    • Federal Signal PA500 (BB100) for CHP
    • Random siren on LAPD & LASD cruisers (Either Unitrol 80K, Touchmaster Delta, MS4000 or SmartSiren)
    • Airhorns when coming up to traffic (Although it will be the same airhorn for vehicles if I include this
    • Rumblers (If used by any departments)

    Every time I use a police vehicle I am constantly noticing that the CHP doesn't have the right siren, and all the cars have the same siren and it being a MS4000 over a Unitrol or SS.

    If anyone has anymore information about what they use then please let me know here

    My only idea is for fire fighters to have a DSU (pass alarm) go off when a firie is down and a radio message when a cop goes down. Thoughts?

    Cheers

    The pass alarm would just be to annoying imo. As for the cop idea, as much as I love the general idea, and I think I might be able to script this, the problem is how to do it. I will keep this in mind but right now I think I am mostly done adding features.

    The pass alarm would be annoying, and wouldn't really work in EM4 and wouldn't be needed because the only way they can be injured really is shot, blown up or run over. Although the 'officer down' would be cool. If you can do it you could use audio from the 1997 North Hollywood shootout! You will find plenty of them in those scanner recordings.

    Progress update:While I wait on E51 to be finished, and trying to find a modeler, I am trying to work on traffic issues. For the most part the map runs fine with increased traffic, but the problem is traffic merging on to the freeway likes to get hung up some times and this then causes a headache because traffic in the construction zone gets stuck and with the construction zone being one lane, it can be tricky to diffuse the traffic jam and usually takes 2 or 3 cops to redirect or stop traffic around this area.

    I will try to get E51 to you soon and if you want to you can remove the construction zones because I just find them annoying although they are well done on how they work.

    have you guys looked at using the cabin part of this scania model?

    the modeler has nicely allowed other mods to use it (as long as he is credited!)

    Yeah, I know. I found that the on the same day I finished my own, although I am seriously considering using it. :)

  25. LA Mod Features You Don't Use?

    It is totally different in missions but in free play I don't use

    • Patrol (Except on Woods map)
    • Police Helecoptors
    • Ladders
    • Battalion Chief (I usually equip them with a paramedic)
    • Standby - I have a prison van ready to be called out to carry prisoners
    • Cones, Flares, Vests

    In the escort I usually take my time and set up a lot with cones, flares, vests etc. but during freeplay I don't have time to put them all away.
