Can anyone convert a .skp file into a .v30? Or does anyone know who can convert a .skp file into a .v30?

How would I import and export .V30 in sketchup? I think I need a plugin, right?

The police car on the top is going to be the police units. You can help me by skinning those if you want to help with my mod.

put i have certain model requests if you decide to help me.

No actually they are all KME's with from what I've seen 3 Ferrara Ignitors (the 2 on the left in the middle pic and the ladder in the bottom pic)

My friend has been to the station recently. 75% (most of the igniters are not shown in the pics above) are Ferrarra igniters, and the remaining 25% are KME's. Check out indianafiretrucks.com then go to county selecter, then Vigo County, then look at all the stations for Honey Creek if you don't believe me. And also I pretty sure the above pictures are old.

Looks like Quint 82 is a Ferrara Igniter, while the rest seems to be KME. There are a few brush or utility units. If you google the dept, look under images, there's quite a few detailed sites that at least give you vehicle specs to work with. Volly depts in my experience have more "light duty" or small rigs than a paid would. Might be easier to work that in. Perhaps even look at adjusting the dynamic?

Well all I see right now are words, and from what I am reading, yet another reskin mod.

Please at least try to make em authentic.

This one's a KME with a custom rear and a Tomar lightar. You know what to do...

I have no idea what that ladder is, though the brush truck is an older Ram 3500.

This pic doesnt answer my question, but it appears most are KME's, while the larger vehicles are the unknown fire engine.

Crosses fingers that fire apparatus will look somewhat close to the real thing and not just another Montana mod engine/ladder/hazmat reskin.

They are all actually ferrarra igniters, with 1 or 2 KME's in the fleet. Possibly 3 KME's, though. But the rest, whch is about 75% of the rest of the main vehicle fleet, are Ferrarra igniters

No pronlem , but if so it will look painting of police units

Okay well let me tell you this is not the answer.

Oh okay. Im sorry.

You showed us all here in this forum your skin a vehicle fire brigade, but the question is why only 95%

 

Following more question that I see the light - the pleasure you could leave yourself at the end to get the best results

 

The last is not the question - just answer you're asking yourself how it all makes so my question is what are you doing here instead of taking to work - it shows us something that is not finished - so instead of questions take to work

 

 

My next piece of advice -  do not ask how to make a light, because do not forget that you yourself can surprise everyone and do even better effect, it is not difficult enough to try

The translation of this post kind of messed up the grammar of the sentence, so I will do my best to reply to the best of my ability. I have no clue how to light or model, and I just turned 15 on September 3rd. If someone taught me how to light and model, even if it is just the basics, then I could practice doing so and then I will get better and better. And it is 95% complete because I still have to edit the rear of the vehicle and touch up the sides of the body.

well at the mintue the gentleman i had doing my map may be leaving due to other reasons and i am without a mapper and once the map is done then also a scripter so i might hold it awhile and focus on  something else

Oh okay.

Don't worry I will sort things out

Great!

First impression: Yay, another Pierce Arrow ladder reskin. This would be #9000 of them

 

Second impression:

 

You really need to learn how to model custom apparatus and to stop relying on other's models. If you can take the time to skin this thing, you should just have as much time to learn how to model. I'd honestly go directly with trying different kinds of engines instead of sticking to the old and by this time beaten to death models.

Not a fixed tower ladder, but you get the idea. Something different is nice, especially if you're trying to recreate a real area. In your case, you are doing what appears to be a fictional locale, so I'd like to throw out a couple ideas into what you can do to set yourself apart.

This would be the newest Pierce Quantum. No model for this truck exists (yet). If you were the first to make this, you'd definitely be in a good spot.

 

For the Pierce engine, at the very least, you could try using the fire truck cabs I used to have publicly. They seem to make good bases for pretty much everything.

This is a Dash from 1999, you can easilly take the cab I had out and make it into a Dash CF, or use the Arrow XT cab. KME and Seagrave are also unrepresented here, along with the Spartan MetroStar.

 

Your final hurdle is having to animate the ladder legs so they extend from the vehicle as such.

1, what you called a Pierce Quantum is actully either a Velocity or Impel, not a Quantum. The Quantum has been made on engines, but not ladders. There is a Velocity heavy rescue in northview, along with the Pierce Quantum engines. And I still might change the cab on this vehicle. I am also going to try to make a functional Quint (part engine and part ladder). And BTW I downloaded your firetruck cabs pack before it was removed. Can I have permission to use some of those cabs? (I would credit you properly, of course). But as I said I still might change the cab on that vehicle to a seagrave. That would be cool. And then the midmount with a pierce quantum cab instead of a seagrave cab would also be cool. We are almost done with a pierce velocity technical rescue squad with a midmount crane on it. And I know for sure a bunch of the vehicles I am going to use I am going to want to change the lightbars on. And I am also going to get a few more new/combined models for this mod. And yeah this mod is semi-fictional. There is a department with the name in kentucky, though not in Jefferson county. And there used to be an Edgewood in jefferson county, but it recently (like 2004 or 2006) was absorbed by a neighboring department. I am also going to try to make a tele-squirt (an engine with an elevated master stream that can be remote controlled, or you can climb up it on an attached ladder device, and control it from there. I also have someone who is going to try to teach me how to light. And I would love to learn how to model, but I would need to have someone teach me how. (btw, out of nowhere, I love all the model packs you have made. You are quite a good modeler). Modeling seems hard, and that is why I would need somebody to teach me. But yeah. We are also going to have a brand new map for this mod. But yeah I like and agree and plan on mixing up the vehicles cab and stuff like that. And I also have been thinking, and I have decided to attempt to make a quad type vehicle by taking the cab and pump of an engine, and putting the rear compartment part of a ladder truck behind the pump. Then remove the ladder and outriggers, and then convert the center of the rear compartment part of the body's center into a hosebed. (I might remove one set of compartments on each side so the body length is more realistic. (by the way, the manin difference between a Quad and an Engine is the equipment the vehicle carries and the ammount of storage space the vehicle has. Quads are basically Quints without the aerial device on it. Quads have more storage space than engines do). But yeah if you could send me a PM with any more suggestions you have for this mod, that would be great. Also if you could find somebody to teach me how to model that would be great. I am seriously hoping this mod will be unique.

And I stated to everyone I ranted at sorry so I'm sorry to all I stated and went mad and ok

I would just use the large rescue ambulance for the SCUBA unit. if that is the vehicle you dont have permission for, just choose another unit that would work. And I would just use the basic cars from the game if you can't use the civil cars pack. I still can't wait for this mod!

Here is Edgewood Truck 4451 (skin is 95% complete; truck 4452 is going to be a midmount platform with a pierce quantum(hopefully) cab) What do you think of it so far? I also plan on changing the main lightbar. *All vehicles are going to be renumbered to a new numbering system, soon. (this will be the last numbering change for this version)

I would like to try to get the font from THIS vehicle.

Sometimes i get for example the original letters from gogle, copy and paste them and the rework every single letter. Not with the writing tools but with the other normal functions in gimp

 

Do you mean like copy and paste the correct logo and font then rework all the letters with the paintbrush?

Use larger unit texture;

 

or http://cooltext.com/

What is "Larger unit texture"?

I have seen mods with very good and realistic looking words on the vehicles in their mod. Whenever I try to add words in gimp or paint.net, It looks really pixelly and chuncky. Any help on better vehicle lettering?

A few of the units are made using Blender, aswell as many buildings. Therefor in many opinions it is 50% or more new content

I would agree on this. This is more of a mod than a submod.

This is engine co 42 with all units in apart from the correct ladder unit waiting for unit to be finished off and then should be good and then it's just one more fire station to add and going from there scripting is hard as I do t know any and am struggling with it so shy people willing to help me that would be good

what about the second ambo at that station? and I thought there was only the district chief and not 2 chiefs at that station.

I honestly can not absolutely wait for this mod. Keep up the great work.

I have skype if you guys need help

 

 

yup, thatoneiowan

Fixed link?

I can do PD skins if you have a design in mind and templates for vehicles you want used.

 

I do. do you have a skype?

message me on teamspeak and i will do your skins.

Will do.

 

 

Thanks both of you.

Sorry. I regret to inform you that this mod has been postponed/cancelled until we find a new good skinner for alot of the FD vehicles and the PD, while I do the 2 remaining FD station and EMS. If a volunteer wants to help with EMS only or any other one of the vehicle types we need to skin, please don't hesitate to ask if you can help. Please leave this mod topic unlocked please, for I do want people to be able to comment here on if they can help or any other comments they want to leave. I also do not want to go through the hassle of asking an admin to unlock the page.

There use to be a squad3 back in the old days but it's been decommissioned. The only active squad companies in the city are 1.2.5 and 7

That's what I thought. Thanks for your help.

There will be S3 and it will be the new one

I mean IRL is there an actual squad 3 that responds? and the model shown in this mod is the old one. The new one has the two 4 rotator lightbars with the 1 green light on the left still.
