Is it possible to make certain ambient polygons (ambiance sounds) play at certain intervals during the game clock? The atmo_night_rural sound goes really well with the rural feel of my map, but I don't want it to play constantly, so is there a way I can make it play only during the nighttime hours?

 

Thanks in advance

Try some of these codes. I am not sure though if they work as command scripts. These are typically found in mission scripts.

void StopAmbientSound(const char* name_);void SetAmbientSoundVolumeByName(const char *name_, float volume_);void SetAmbientSoundVolumeBySound(const char *sound_, float volume_);

Sorry for the lack of updates:
Here's what I've been able to do with what little time I have had:

Only the FM Horizon cars wont have doors. This is due to the way they were modelled by Turn 10 studios.
Most cars and all vans and trucks will have this new feauture to level them up functionally with the EM4 vanilla cars.

It seems the contest isn't going well. Maybe I should cut my losses and call it off.

Nice skin by Jose BTW. But it cant make it into the civil special pack because it isnt any of the cars I listed.

so where is the patch that stop vehicles from getting stuck turning. 

 

(My Issue) Some Vehicles get stuck turning left in the first red light coming from the Bridge by the LAPD Station (LA MOD).

I remember fixing this issue in update 1.3 July Update

What version are you using? Check readme if there is an entry for July 2014.

Okay, so i have a few things to mention to bring everyone up to date :

 

This past week, Goog1967 have been working hard on converting all of the vehicles to SG LA sub modification for all of our beta testers to play on. We have received a lot of applications for beta testers and i want to thank you all for submitting yours in. I am happy to say that 95% of the applications will be accepted, but i will contact each one of you sometimes this week for your assignment. This is exciting and i am looking forward to hear results from each one of you all. Most of the forum moderators will also have their chance to beta test the RCMP modification.

 

The bad news is that, when Goog1967 personally tested out the units in-game, he discovered that every single one of our vehicles are not compatible with the LA game engine because the body size is too big, thus corrupting vehicle paths, or can't fit inside fire stations, etc. So this means that he has to re-size every one of them about 20 percent smaller, about the same size as LA mod units. The part that sucks the most is that all of the lights that i displayed in the last week and half are no good for LA mod, so i will have to re-light every single vehicle ( this means FD, PD and EMS vehicles .... sucks big time ) This also decreases the quality of our skins which is also another downer because in the editor all of the vehicles look HD and hyper realistic, but when you see it in-game the quality has been toned down to sub-par. But we're overcoming challenges. 

 

So, the plan right now is that, we will pass the SG LA mod to our beta testers, and over time will update it with converted vehicles and fill up the vehicle pool. For now we have finished 5 engines but they all need lights first. When i light them up, we will release our beta files, along with new sirens, etc. At the same time we will update this beta with new scripts if COPS can help us out with this phase.

Ouch. All that effort having to re light EVERY car, truck and ambulance.

I have a question. Does the new map have the correct larger scaling in relation to the new vehicles? It would be a shame to have loss of quality simply due to scaling issues.

After the great work itchboy did to the lights. I made a few adjustments to the radiation and color hope you like it. If some reason the E4p file reverts back to the original lights by Itchboy I am sorry.  For some reason I am having a hard time duplicating e4p file. when It past and copy the file. Go to my editor it is the original file but the new lights are still there just can not duplicate them. this only happens with Itchboys E4P files.

Happens to me with every EM4 thing I mod on my computer. The only thing I can do is making sure I hit the OK button on the prototype editor, so that the prototype is actually saved.

You mean the random sound effects such as sirens and stuff?

There doesnt seem to be anything different between the two. The lightbar prototype and model files are complete in the .rar file, so I dont know what could be wrong with it.
 

@Itchboy Hey do you have the LAFD Suburban file from your Dropbox because it is missing the Halogen Lightbar on it in the LA Mod Vehicle Set?

Which lightbar? Bone shaped one?

I'm not completely sure what you mean... The downloads currently have a thumbnail image on the right hand side, are you after a bigger version of that image?

We want to choose which specific image we want to be displayed on the thumbnails.

Guys i have to find the maker of North view south county so when i find him i can shoot him a message!

He's Chris07.

These look absolutely beautiful. I can't wait to see what the mappers can come up with. You have given a lot of US based mods a way to improve themselves.

The Code3 XF2300 lightbar, itchboy added one to his LAFD battalion SUV.

Thanks for mentioning me. I'll be putting up the lightbar in the download center shortly. Just need to get the color variants right.

Temporary link for lightbar in case anyone needs it:

Remember people....it wont matter what props the skin authors use. I will use my own anyway. Once the variety pack comes out, you are free to do whatever you want with them.

Here's what the news van will have. Main part my Ubisoft, misc light parts and ladder done by me.

Can you post me some link where I can download the patch?

http://forum.emergency-planet.com/files/category/37-patches/

Choose patch 1.3. Choose the version you bought depending on whether it is german or french.

Do you still have the LA mod startup script? Maybe that's the problem. Removing the script (and adding it when I had everything done) solved my issue.

He said that he had already done that in post #9.

Thanks you for giving your opinion on this.

Upgrade EM4 to patch 1.3
This should solve your problems.

 

USFS Dump Truck

(Model: American Civil Car Pack T800 Dump Truck By EA GAMES)

T800 Truck made by me. EA made the rear dump bed. Unit looks good. What function will this serve ingame?

So am I. Calling Grandmasters MikeyPI and Hoppah. Can you guys please help us?

Nothing else was changed? I guess EM4 is having mood swings or something.

Try reverting to a backup. Then re add the paths and streets one by one. Process of elimination.

Thankfully no such design exists in reality  The satellite dish is not part of the skin to be included though

Well....due to the fact that other users in this site are modellers, I will allow them to use props, but they are not allowed to be included in the pack or competition. I will unfortunately have to make them on my own.

itchboy, I'm gonna work on your Explorer SUV model this week, I think you'll be impressed

I have always been impressed by your work ever since the LED Designs and Project Reality Lights era. What you make now is by far the greatest lighting in perhaps all EM4 modding sites.

Well....since this is the first time I've done this kind of thing, I'll lax the rules for now. Since he has two submissions, you may have another one as well just so olmyster's skin has competition.

Before next month, I'll hopefully get to fix the rules.

In the meantime, have this ambulance.




 

he wins the the service category, just because of my warnings on your mistakes in the rules 

Hahah....Yes he does. But it is the fair and right thing to do.....even though he technically has no competition in that category. Its basically a one horse race right now. Maybe I should withold the voting until a challenger submits his own utility truck skin.

 

• tft.cf's News Van Skin (11 votes) [55.00%]
• olmyster911's News Van Skin (5 votes) [25.00%]
• olmyster911's Service Truck Sin (4 votes) [20.00%]

 

I guess olmyster still wins since his Service truck skin is in a different category (and is the only one that can win actually)

Updated the rules. Im no good at organizing stuff. I should have someone do this for me.
