every map is the same size, you just are sometimes only limited to a smaller portion, the map texture is centered in the middle of the map, and just repeats when it reaches the end of a side, the reason you don't see the repeated parts is because you are limited to seeing only a portion of the map, in order to have more of the map playable, you must add on to a texture that's already made and import it into the editor, then, you must widen the map boundaries more aswell.

Okay so I make the bigger texture, import it. Where to I adjust the map boundaries?

Hello everyone, is it possible to expand the size of a pre-existing map? Does the Game base map size on the dimensions of the texture? Some mods have quite small maps like Mayberry, but then there's Harbor City and Manhattan which are huge. My goal is to keep the map I'm using intact, but add more space on all 4 sides to add new features.

Is this possible by just editing the map texture to be larger?

Thanks

IT WORKED! Thank you @itchboy

Make sure that you have all of the 'DLK' ladder parts in your vehicle. You need the superchilds such as 'L1', 'base', 'cannon', etc.

This should be right, am I missing something?

Try checking the axis if its oriented correctly. Also check if the file you export is actually the correct one.

I've rotated the model, but now when I "install" the ladder, the game crashes with no errors.  The model shows up in the editor fine and the prototype names in the script are all correct.  The script even starts running since the install sound starts playing.  I don't know what could be causing the issue. @itchboy

Unfortunately, there is no other way. Em4 is hardcoded to work only with forward facing rearmount ladders. Midmounts just wont work right with the standard ladder setup because the ladder faces backwards.

Damn, well I am currently trying to figure out how to rotate my model, rotating and exporting from zmod isn't working.  Thanks for the answer.

Hello again everybody. I was wondering if anyone has edited, or knows how to edit the ManhattanTowerLadder script so that the vehicle does not rotate 180 degrees when installed.  The script is awesome but I really don't want to relight the entire unit since its now facing backwards.  Thanks

mind if i ask what mod is this? and the names for all of the units that you see in the station (like rescue 1, engine 4, etc.)?

It's my own private mod I've been working on for a few years with the help of some others.  It's based off of 4 different departments in my area in Southern Oregon, combining certain things from all of them to come up with this fictional department.  

As far as unit numbering, again it uses the same system that is used in my area:
The first two numbers in the unit number (23--) are the department identifier, so all units from this department begin with 23--. The second two numbers identify the type of vehicle and its station number. 

Engines are 01-19 (Typically first out's begin with 0-, and reserves with 1-.  2301 first out, 2311 reserve) 

Aerials: 20-29

Rescue/Ambulances: 30-39

Tenders: 40-49

Staff/Chief Officers: 50-59

Wildland Engines: 60-69

Misc. (Fire marshal/investigator, fleet management, sometimes additional wildland apparatus): 70-89

90-99: Technical Rescue

The only exception is the 3 Battalion Chiefs in the area which are Battalion 1,2 and 3.  

My mod is laid out the same way:

Station 1:

• Battalion 1
• 2301 (Engine)
• 2321 (Truck)
• 2331 (Ambulance)
• 2341 (Tender)
• 2351 (Fire Chief)
• 2361 (Wildland Engine)
• 2371 (Dep. Fire Marshall) 
• 2391 (Tech. Rescue)

Station 2: 

• 2302 (Engine)
• 2332 (Ambulance)
• 2362 (Wildand/Urban Interface Engine)

Station 3:

• 2303 (Engine)
• 2333 (Ambulance)
• 2343 (Tender)

Station 4:

• 2304 (Engine)
• 2384 (Air/Light and Tech. Rescue Support)

I maybe know the problem. Did you changed the model of the station or is it a new model?
Are your stettings looks like this?


Maybe the vehicles and units dont move, because they are "blocked" by the station.
If there is no "Collision" you have to put VO as a virtuell wall.

You fixed it!!! That appears to have been exactly what the issue was!! Thank you so much!

Out of curiosity, if you place the vehicles on the map so that they are there when the game starts are they able to move?

Negative, they cannot move out of the station when they're placed there from the start.

For some reason, some models/vehicles are locked and if you have the script where you need someone in the vehicle to move it, then for those vehicles, no. For the rest of the vehicles, if you put an officer/paramedic/firefighter near it then you should be able to after you put the person in the vehicle

 

The mod does feature the script that limits movement when no one is inside, however, it doesnt seem to be having an effect on it, people in the vehicle or not they still don't park.

There is a video of the issue, with the vehicles placed on the map as suggested by @CMCC626.  As you can see, not only are the vehicles not able to move, but additionally personnel avoid the inside of the station when walk to vehicles.  Once again, nothing about any of the VO's was changed other than their location, they're still all named the same and have the same properties as they do in the base Mayberry mod where they work fine.

Nice work man, the new wheels on the ladder make it look so much better!

You guys are awesome!!

i would love to see a Pierce Dash CF cab or Enforcer (don't think either has been made in this community yet), and an Ascendant aerial would be even more amazing! 

Keep up the good work, the brush looks awesome!

Okay @itchboy, the physics resize on the vehicles hasn't solved the issue.  It seems like the vehicles don't to go through the gate VO's for some reason, even though their not set as barricades.  I'm completely at a loss of what to do at this point.

You need to toy with the 'physics' and collision boxes of the vehicles that belong in the station. Make it smaller than the actual model bounds and test some more.

I'll give it a try.  Why would that need to be adjusted when the models haven't changed at all, and neither have the VO's, just repositioning @itchboy?

If you place a truck in the editor does it fit within the bounds of the VO, also, attach a copy or pm me a copy of your to_station script and I'll look at it.

Also, do the garage doors function?

Sent from my E6830 using Tapatalk

Doors function completely fine.  

Yes, yes the trucks do fit the VO's, as I said above the VO shapes weren't changed at all, which is why I'm so confused as to why they don't work...

Could the barricade VO''s between vehicles be too close or something?

LAToFireStation.script

Hello, I am in the process of moving the headquarters station around a little in my version of Mayberry mod and I'm having some serious parking issues.

I made the station into a pull-through style bay instead of the split building that is originally in the map.  This obviously meant that the bay is considerably skinnier and the VO's for the parking spots would need to moved into their new spots.  

Well.... I moved everything back to fit the new bay and now NOTHING parks.  All vehicles turn in and look like they're lined up, and then park outside the station.  It looks like they try to get as close as possible to the VO but they can't enter the station.  Again, no VOs were changed, they were just relocated.

I have attached pictures of their placement.

Any advice is greatly appreciated! 

Beautiful work! And the fact that you're releasing it is amazing!

Relay pumping will be released when Jordansville is publically released. I made it for the mod

Awesome! I can't wait!

Relay-pumping is a feature in the newest version.

is that version released? And by newest version you mean the script, not mod correct?

Looks great!  Do you actually have the ability to relay-pump like the photo or was that just set up for the picture?

Fixed the GTF and it works! Thanks!

Hello everyone!

I recently added the Limited Water Supply script to Northview: South County for my own use and am now getting a crash to desktop when calling engines on map.  I tested with just engine 81 before doing the rest and it worked, wondering what has gone wrong?  I've attached logfile and script.

Thanks!

No problem, glad it works. Shouldn't be the camera edits either as I use them too.

Huh, very odd!

This is peculiar, I have an extremely low-end PC and don't have this issue. Two things to do is make sure the lighting setting is set to 'Game' (not On or Off), as the other settings - at least for me - slows down the editor considerably. The other thing is make sure you're not completely zoomed out as your PC may struggle trying to show all the map objects at once.

If that fails to work then in the bottom left there is a 'Hide/Show' button that brings up a list of all the different elements on a map that you can hide from view.

Using the keyboard shortcuts to hide/show works great I just found out.  I basically hide everything, performance improves and then I just unhide what I need.  I wonder if its because I have my camera hacked?  Either way, the hiding stuff seems to be the work around, at least for now.  Thanks again!
