lol, someone just found the LA Mod

Ok, is the fire dept. first on the to-do list?

(I'd advise you update the first post with pic's, when ever you get new ones, along with posting them in a new post. That way, people can come in and see all the pic's without having to search the entire topic.)

Nice but weird lightbars

Yea, those arent lightbars... It still needs some, it'll probably get the old standby lightbars. Red and clear rotators. (shown below)

there are no rear LEDs in reality

Aww... I loved those things...

So, what is being worked on at this point, that engine model on the first page?

The wheels may be a bit too small and maybe the highway bars are a bit too far forward? I do think that it's missing the two rear amber LED's, isn't it?

EDIT: For discussion on this page, here it is again:

I can do some pretty damn good lighting if I do say so myself. If you want to see some work, send me something to light up for you or I could just send you something of mine. PM me if you'd want me to have me on the team or just for any general assistance with lights.

That engine is going to look sweet when finished

Looks like NY Mod's newly referbished engine 7 model.

They say that since january ...

Well, all I know is that all models are done, most skins are done, map's close, and all scrpts finished.

But remember, this isn't the NY Mod, this is the NY Submod, so lets talk about that instead.

Oh. NY MOD is never gonna release. quit it.

if you want to be successful, you need to serve an appetizer to hold people over if the main course is taking too long.

As Dyson did.. which made me very happy, and kept others interested.

I think Dyson CAN turn this into a full blown mod.

Not greater then winterberg (unless THIS mod never crashes and takes less then 10 minutes to load)

Haha can you promise that Dyson!?

From what I've seen and heard, that mod's 80%-90% finished. Just calm down and wait.

It's funny, but NYPD has some hazmats... not ESU's, but full-on hazmat trucks... they bought them during a bad time period for the NYPD...

343?

343 is the number of New York City firefighters that died in the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001.

Don't ask for 9/11 missions.

Great engine

You should've been here earlier Francis.

Great updates guys. As like any other, can't wait for more.

New York mod. Best mod ever.

Good looking ambulance.

I had a good laugh reading your post. For every 1 unit in service their are at least 2 or 3 of it's same kind as back up. Take that into account their are hundreds of different types of light bars / sierns etc. Ranging from the newest of new to the oldest of old. So why does it matter if this mod is spot on right. That it like NY each unit is different in a certain way one little issue such as light bar should be ignored. Besides if it bothers you so much in the end then replaces them for your own personal experiences.

It's still a great mod in the end.

Oh, and Dyson. What's up with your pictures. Rescue 1 says (to become rescue 2) will there still be a rescue 1?

I didn't say it had to be different I just said it looked like a couple of foam tubes put on top and it made the engine look like crap. FDNY only uses three different lighbars (old rotators, led's, and led rotators) not hundereds. It doesn't have to look spot on right I'd just hope he doesn't want that one thing to make the engine look like a joke (He doen't have to change it, it's just my opinion). And it will probably be fixed sooner or later.

PS: It's not your work so the word "crap" should really be left out of it. I don't think you'd appreciate it if you put hours into reskinning something and someone called it crap. Just remember that.

I only called one engine, crap, not the mod, not his hard work, but one single engine that, in my own personal opinion, looks like crap. Really only because of 1) the lightbar, and 2) it's the exact same model again. I understand FDNY has hundreds of those exact models but some variety would be nice.

This thread is merely just to discuss POSITIVELY about this Mod.

That's gone great so far hasn't it...

And, CFD, I have confidence you will make some good lights for this mod (See? I'm not bashing on everyone for no reason.)

Update:

Reworked skins and lightbars

Well, I hate to be the bearer of bad news but, the front lightbar on ther BC is completly wrong, it could be one of those old rotators or a new LED. Maybe you could also make the highway bars clear instead of red, also, the led in the back of NYPD van should be a small clear rotator. You can leave them the way they are and it won't matter but I'm just pointing out that they're wrong.

Will, what you said sounds great but a few things hinder that being done here. 1-like Mikey said, the larger vehicles will always be slower than the small vehicles and, 2- you might want to suggest this to the real NY Mod, they've gotten tons of new, and previously thought impossible things, into their mod (not actally done yet...). They'd be the ones to talk to, not Dyson and his small submod of mainly reskins. I'm not trying to be pessimistic but you have to look at the facts.

Hey guys, I have a few questions actually.

So, do you guys have any insight as to how the police system should work? So far we haven't seen much besides one cruiser. Have you gone over the plans for law enforcement? Is it going to be similar to the LA mod? Different? Will we get (you do not have to name them), more features? New and improved features from LA Mod? Or some brand new ones? Will we be able to dictate more in say a traffic stop? Will there be more detail into features. Is it going to be biased towards fire department like I often see, or EMS? Or will you focus a fair bit on police.

Etc, if you want to in yes/no's thats fine. Just to get some insight.

Just wondering, however I have this worry that the mod aint coming out. With the most recent posts...

Thanks,

~Will

That all sounds great but, why is it all in blue?

I absolutly hate that they're starting to add these stupid LED bars when the should just get those new FS Vision bars (the vid you posted). Those are the best lightbars for CHP next to the classic Vector.

Hey there guys,

it's been quite sime time since I last replied in this topic, but today I've got some news for you

1. Graphical User Interface

Today I started to replace the dummy graphics of our new interface with the ones that will be released. The mod will feature a brand new GUI, without any similarities to the standard EM4 one. So forget about the blue bars, and all those little command icons, you will not see them in our release version! Screenshots may follow in a couple of days

2. FDNY radio stream

From now on, you will be able to turn on the radio in any FDNY vehicle. This will trigger the FDNY live stream from www.thebravest.com. So you will be able to listen to real and live radio sounds while you play, and even control the sounds within EM4.

A quite fast internet connection, in combination with a flatrate is recommended

That...sounds...awsome...

Yeah I know. I hope it'll be A LITTLE simpler and won't crash. It's mission based and already has an extremly short loading time, so it's looking really good!

It will only crash if you've installed something wrong, it's almost always human error. And there's no way this mod will be "simple", it's taken years and tons of new stuff that's never been seen before like a crazy mission/freeplay script, tower ladder, engines connecting to hydrants, roof ventalation, oc spray, and a completely redone display system. No mod has done what the NY Mod has so far.

Thirdly, why should I ban you? Your post only deserves a warning for off-topic yet I won't give it. You just don't know what's going on behind the forum, so don't comment on it without knowing what's going on here. I don't care if you already were, or still are, a moderator or a forum administrator somewhere else, this is EMP, not anything else.

I think he thinks that if he goes against you, he'll get banned.

Why did you have to comment? If I posted such a thing, it's because I have my sources, it wasn't needed for you to say it's unlikely since it is totally impossible.

It's not totally imposible, they could always use his stuff because they no longer need permission. Of course the won't because they want their own mod, but nothing is imposible.

Francis, I don't see what the big deal is, I just added on what you said, no need to get defenceive.
