itchboy

Just wondering are the police vehicles and the new LA ambulance included in the newest download itchboy?

They are available as separate downloads.

The police vehicles are in the downloads page.

The new LA Ambulances will be included in a certain mod (to be released soon)

Thanks for liking it. Here's some progress:

So far, I have the 2 trucks in the previous posts uv mapped. I am at a crossroads on how to proceed. Do the skins myself, which will take a lot of time. OR, send the skins to someone who is capable, can do it quickly and can do textures consistent to the ones already in the mod. Of course, this person will be credited and will receive the gratefullness of the community.

^ ^ ^  Not trying to bother you in anyway but did you guys make the new Fords(ambulances) the FDNY got?(could not find any pictures of it in use but I have seen a quite few in Brooklyn)

http://forum.emergency-planet.com/topic/19012-behind-the-scenes-watch-me-convert-itchboys-ford-f350-to-an-f550-super-duty-fdny-ambulance/

They used the F350 from my pack. Very good production indeed.

Winterberg style dispatch? Count me in! Hopefully we can create something that ALL mods can benefit from.

Nope....only works in mission scripts.

For freeplay, you would have to create a looping script that checks the spawnpoints for any emergency vehicles with siren commands and then activates the siren command in these vehicles. It would have to check a group of VO's that are positioned where the vehicles spawn so that it will only activate their commands and not the sirens of every emergency car in the whole map.

I actually have a "partially" working version. PM for information.

First...the vehicle introduction is simply that side menu that introduces each vehicle when you select them in the send vehicle menu.

Second...for your main problem of making the sirens work in campaign, that would require a change to EACH mission script which would probably involve something like this. (DON'T MODIFY YOUR SCRIPTS UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING!)

void OnSquadVehicleArrived(Vehicle *v)
{
    if (v->HasCommand("VcmdSiren"))
    {
        Vehicle veh = *v;
        Game::ExecuteCommand("VcmdSiren", &veh, &veh);
    }
}

Wow....just wow....
Can't wait anymore....must...resist.....urge....to create content and send it to you guys just so the mod is finished faster. Too bad I have college to worry about.

2 in one day...I'm getting good at this.

Looks great, but how the hell is that 1402 polygons? Might just be me but it looks like no more than 400 haha

I got a bit carried away...

*Knock* *knock* Delivery!


1402 polygons.

I'll be sure to do one. Now for the important part: The plan.

The International truck can probably be taken from the USFS Brush Truck since they are the same brand.
The dump truck would have to be made.
The GMC truck can be converted from Driver San Francisco.

Right now, there are about a dozen or so trucks that need to be replaced including construction dump trucks. Would these 3 trucks work?

Love it. Patiently waiting for the mod.
I'll try to find the time to model/convert some trucks into the game. What trucks has your mod replaced? I see a schoolbus, tour bus and mail truck.

Beautiful....
Police tape script?

There are already a few other LA mod expansions doing this. Xplorer's mod and others..
I think I should finish replacing all the cars, that way when I get the objects set from bama (and hopefully Dyson), the whole replacement pack of everythig is complete and everyone is happy.

It looks so American The buildings, the textures, the cars....

Road signs? Can I have your permission to include these in the future US theme objects pack along side bama's work?

Also, there appear to be new delivery trucks in there too. Could I use these in my car pack. Perhaps give them blank skins and package them as a replacement for default trucks?

Your welcome. Thanks for the support. Although I dont have much time in my hands, I'd like to keep on modding.

I am not sure what I want to do next. Replace the civil special cars or the civil trucks cars?

Civil special ought to be easy since its mostly textures that need to change. Trucks are harder as there are no models available to convert or on any EM4 modding site.

Logfile? Since this is conerning a model of mine, I'd like to see how I can help. You could be experiencing a glitch or conflict in the prototype editor. Try making the prototype from nothing and see if it helps.

Whats up Itchboy hey you really for the Philippines big city of suburb?  Just kind of queries why you are doing a American Pack I still think it great, hopefully some of these higher up members will show there appreciation of your work.         

I live in a certain big city in the geographic center of the country not Manila. A little note is that we speak a different dialect from those who live in the capital city. Suburbs do not exist here. Its either your in the city or you are in a rural area in the middle of nowhere.

Why I'm doing this? I dont really know to be honest. I often wonder why I didnt just take the time instead to make a mod of the local emergency services here. Maybe its because I dont have much info about them.

Anyway, I figured that I would be doing the community a better service by making these USA themed content because a majority (not sure) of the users here reside in continental North America and want to make mods about their towns and cities.

Fresh from the factory...

@itchboy @xplorer4x4 I mean the Lenco Bearcat and BEAR in the LA mod are ok but they aren't up to date. They have a older generation design already. It doesn't really matter but I wwas wondering.

Although neither of us plan on doing a new one, could you at least show me the differences. This might be something to consider for the future.

Are you considering adding in the Dodge Ambulance to that set?

Oh my God...its an army!!
Each have individual numbers right, so how do you get each of them to spawn in game?

Well since it only appears in the editor and NOT INGAME, it is safe to say that it should be ignored.
Thank you for confirming this bug.

Someone out there willing to whip up LAFD and maybe a few private company versions of itchboy's 350 and 450?

 

Also, is the Dodge set up with full doors like the new Fords or is it like the original ALS model?

It doesnt have doors yet. Still working on doing that. Once I find the time...perhaps this weekend, I plan on doing ambulance versions of this Ram and the F Series trucks. I already have a rear ambulance box from my Ford ambulance so all I need to do are the doors and interiors.

Sorry for the late replies:

Itchboy, are you on a mod team? I'm sure someone would love it if you made vehicles for them. You're far too good to just be pumping out new cars willy-nilly like.

I am currently helping out part time in a few mods. Not really modelling jobs, mostly script related stuff. Apart from that, I dont want to overload myself with commitments here as I dont have time IRL.

Hey itchboy,

I have been messing around with the explorer and e450 ambulance, and i love them!

 

I have a question though, the back left side equipment is completely diamond plating, and I can't change it even with skinning or changing the .v3o file.

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks

A: Does the door have diamond plating when installed on the ambulance?

B: Or is it when you select the door from within the editor?

If B, ignore it. If A, post a screenshot and I will assist you.
