When I go to open a Mod in the Editor, I want to add the Jaws to one of the Engines. However when the Mod loads the “grid” flies off screen and I can’t figure to recenter the “grid” so I can see it on the screen. Thanks!

I’m pretty sure this has been asked before but I couldn’t find the answer. What I want to do is add the maximum number of Firefighters to each Fire Apparatus and also how do I set the maximum number of Firefighters when you begin a game or if you automatically empty the Fire Apparatus after a call.

Here is what I want to do if an Engine seats 6, I would like have 5 Firefighters and 1 Firefighter/Paramedic instead of the normal 4 Firefighters.

I know that each unit has an Unit.xml file and in that file it has

<personnel>

<unit id="FF">

<defaultcount value="5" />

</unit>

<unit id="FF_SCBA" />

<unit id="FF_EMT" />

<unit id="FF_PARAMEDIC" />

</personnel>

for both Campaign and Freeplay.

I have no idea how to do the second part.

Thanks.

Not sure if there is an easier way, but I typically just look up "(any state) blank license plate". I put it in paint.net and just draw text on it.

Thank you Yankee43, I never thought of use the "(any state) blank license plate" because of the raised numbers, letters of  older plates.

I have noticed in the newer mods the units have realistic custom license plates. I’m just wondering where you found a License Plate Maker to create these custom license plates? Thanks.

@itchboy Hi. I'm just wondering if it's possible to dispatch all 3 units at the MPFD station, with 2 guys on the engine, one in the brush truck, and one on the tanker. Say I dispatch both the engine, and the tanker, and I steal one of the tanker guys to be on the brush. Would that actually work?

Yes, that does work if you can catch one of the guys off the tanker, I have done it before. Sometimes I had to have the tanker drive back to the station and drop of the passenger to get the brush truck.

How does the Bomb Squad work in this Mod? Because I had a suspicious device call & I called in the Bomb Squad & did both a rapid deploy & normal exit the vehicle. Next I clicked on the Bomb Tech then on the “hand” icon to defuse the device and Nothing Happened.

Just a silly question.. how do we know when a new update-bug fix drops? It has been awhile since I played the game & visit this site.

Thanks,

A game play question for the mod: Is there a way that I can have all Crown Engines in the Main Fire Station? I’m having trouble replacing Main Engines (the left most bay) with the Crowns, they seem to want to take the 2^nd bay (the second to left bay) or go to the second station and replace that Engine.

Also I would like to say a Huge Thank you to Itchboy & whoever helped him in making this Great Mod!

Thank you itchboy,

I got the firestation start script to work fine.

However I can't find the alarm script at all where is it located?

Thank you again.

I’m sure this has been asked before but using the LA Mod 2.1 how do I go about adding a Diver and a Paramedic to the USAR on initial start-up (where everyone runs to the trucks)?

Thanks,

Amazing as always Itchboy, but what does the pickup do? just a crew transport or a rapid attack vehicle?

Itchboy,

Thanks for clueing me in but one thing that makes me part of the rare breed is my hobby of 3D modeling and I spent over 6 years just a single model, so I do have some insight what it take to do a mod. I understand that everyone has lives outside of EM4 & Issues I'm no different as I have Cerebral Palsy and limited use of one hand.

I have had friends that told me that I should sale my models or go work for a company that makes whatever I'm modeling but what they don't know or understand is the number of hours/days that I have put into the model and becomes like one of your children.

Helljumper51,

If you believe that everyone wants to just wants reskinned models & buildings. I got news for you, I'm still waiting for your Emergency! mod WIP that you posted couple years ago.

I might be one of the rare end users that is total grateful for all of the time the Mod Masters put into their mods.

Itchboy,

I have to say this.. I was so looking forward the pack coming out when it was completed, because the vehicles look amazing and I don't have knowledge to make anything close to them. However I totally understand your feelings  and wishes to kill the release.

I wish you the best on your next Big Modding Project.

I think the "Kevin C Kane" would be the best fit for the mod, however I kind of like the looks of the Bravest a little more. As a fellow 3D modeler I understand your pain of lack of good reference material.

I'm just wondering what are the black domes on top of the patrol cruisers (CHP & LAX) because I never seen them before.

Itchboy, I'm just wondering if you have thought about doing a LA County Engine to go with the Patrol & the Squad? In other words how did you pick the different styles of Engines that you did?

Itchboy,

A retractable awing, is a motorized shade mounted on the side on both USAR & Hazmat Rigs that Firefighters use for shade on long incidents. Sorry but I can't post any links or pictures.

Here is the working link...

https://www.emergency-planet.com/bostonmodguys

then click on the Notes tab to get to the downloads

I think there is an error in the hyperlink on the first link on the front page.

I like both, I think more realistic would be the White One but the Red One just looks better.

I’m thinking about trying my hand at modding but I have a few questions…

1. Is it possible to make a copy of a mod (Original & a working Copy)? (for Private Use Only)

2. Is it as simple as taking Engine 1.Png a replacing it a modified Engine 1.png? (changing colors)

3. How many different types of Aerials are there in EM4? I know of the Aerial Platform, Tiller, & the Straight Ladder.

Thanks,

I have noticed that too & sometimes that Paramedics have becomes a FF too or FF becomes whatever the last person to handle the Supply line.

Yes he is, LTs and the Chief can reset the Box Alarms when needed.

yes, I did & I even rebooted my computer in between the uninstall and the install.

I’m still having problems with my Dispatch audio in all mods; I have uninstalled & reinstalled EM4 completely several times. I even brought a brand new copy and clean install & I still have no Audio from the dispatch videos in the game but I checked the read only checkbox & it is unchecked & I do have audio when I played the videos as a standard .mpg videos.

Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
