Phantom

looks like i hit an upload limit. i've resorted to imgur for the last few screenshots.

Hello. Just a update that i'm still here. I recently started another fulltime job, and now work roughly 70 hours a week. I plan to quit (or atleast work only one day a week) at my first job. The only progress i've made really is making the map work (again) with the help of itchyboy, and the construction of some new houses. I also have been working on making templates for ELS, with the use of a new tool on the german forum which allows for blender to create ELS.

Also, somehow with my new job i kind of used this thread in my application. They seemed very interested in it. 

Here's some images of what i've been up to. I've also made something deemed 'Phantom's soundtrack pack' found here https://www.emergency-planet.com/files/file/1357-phantoms-soundtrack-pack/
this replaces all of the normal soundtracks, atleast for my version of the game. i'm unsure if there are different sound tracks in EM4 or EM4D, since i'm running ole reliable 911 FR.

Recap on recent projects, much more active in Emergency 4 Cental discord. A lot of these units are unfinished, i.e missing ELS, or unfinished textures. Wheels are place holders so they're not floating. Pleased to say 5 of the rears are made from scratch by me, many of which inspired by the youtube channels 'Demon Racer, and Rainman14'
Also a peek at a new and improved trailer. I made a trailer pack eons ago, but apparently never posted it here, along with my (terrible) Peterbilt 379 cab that is too embarrasing to show.
There are far too many references to list in addition to everything pictured here. Discord has a lot of the references posted with the models made. Please check there if you're interested.

original credits for rotorray unknown. remade using the old model as close reference, and using their texture. please claim/let me know who's it is.

Is it too late to bump my UI? There's a lot of new stuff going on there. Take a look.

I decided to delete my FD folder, and restarted. again. the only vehicles moving on are E111 (pictured below) and the USAR trailer i had made previously. T116 is a new vehicle i made using THVFD's tanker body and Itchyboy's Peterbilt 330. I also rebranded from 'Platy County' to Hendrick County. although, after just glancing at my images it would appear my brain does not work, and it's both Henderson and Hendrick county. Will be fixed. 
Platy County EMS and Medstar will be staying (of course being renamed to Hendrick County EMS), and LVPD will be staying. I'm thinking of ditching PCSO's livery for something new, but i'm not sure what. I will however be adding Tennessee State Police (my favorite looking ones, and as Logi-Valley is entirely fictional, it works for me.)
Something else i've been working on, is a Publix. it's pretty barren at the moment, though.
And with that, i'll crawl back into my den. Incase you havent seen it, check out my updated UI too  we're at V0.0.5 now!
Have a good day!

You need to ask @FInn Rescue 12 for it. I belive he made them

Thank you

Hey! was curious who the credit would go to for the coronas included? was interested in using them myself, if that's allowed. Thanks.

-edit - i did look through the amazing credits file, just didn't notice the credits i was looking for. might just be an oversight by me.

Looking at the preview video, this version looks very clean, I like the fact that around the buttons the rest of the UI is transparent, not only does it make the UI more clean but also it's nice to be able to see more on the screen while still having the UI up. The start screen is pretty good, but I think maybe the challenge/endless screen might need a bit of change, though I don't know how I would personally change it to look better. I'll have to try it out later but it looks very good!

I definitely agree, it needs to be changed, but i'm not sure how. I like the 'new' one more than the default, though. 

Reviving my UI's 'thread' with a link to the newest preview, and tutorial.

I have no idea whats wrong. Best i can do for you, is post this video, on how to install the mod:

 

Had no idea this video was still circulating, or that it is one of my most viewed videos. (should've used this to promote my UI ) If you need an 'updated', or more detailed one for any reason let me know. 

Hello! As some of you may know, a while ago i released a very conceptual, and unfinished product deemed Phantom's UI - Since then, i've picked up some time and motivation to further polish, or rather revamp the 'mod' entirely. But, i'm fresh out of ideas, and am looking for some input on what designs, or simply ideas you all would like to see. Right now i'm working on the menus, as seen here, but would also love ideas for the GUI in-game too. As seen in the video i released, i'm pretty happy with the buttons being on the side. I may change the colors, or include different colored menus just for personalization of your own menu. 

With any of your ideas, feel free to leave/link some cool images you'd like to see as backgrounds for the different screens!

*Update 3/27/23
Here's the download link to the mod, don't know why i didn't include that before. also fixed some gramatical errors in my OP.

I just wanted to say I think some of the more seasoned devs(myself only slightly included given my hiatus for a few years)  need to give this guy some credit. @Phantom I did some homework on you. 

 

I see you have done yourself a service and learned a few things since 2015.  It seems to be paying off! Keep up the good work and I hope one day your complete the Honey Creek Modification. Being from Indiana myself it would be nice to see a rural Indiana based mod. Just don't forget the cornfields!  

 

Oh and kinda OT, but your UI mod looks good. I would suggest doing something to downplay the flashing lights on the main menu. It's a little to harsh on the eyes on that scale imo. Also I think you should follow suit with the rest of the blue ui accents/buttons turning them black. Keep up the good work on that as well! 

lmao yeah came a bit since then. Wouldn't have been here without the teachers i've had along the way, especially itchyboyo and THVFD. Thanks mate. have yourself a good one.

Going to be going to indiana soon, before my hiatus i made this.
This is Itchyboy's pierce dash converted to a pierce saber hero, the rear is mine. as you can see i still have some things to do to the model like the ladder and the rear directional bar. (i also forgot to extend the cab back at the time.)

This engine will be at 'county' station 11.

Oooh. Looking good Phantom.

Man, y'all mod authors are something else let me tell ya what. Looking really good so far Phantom!

thanks, lads. here's an image of the cab- itchyboy's mack GU713 i believe it is, with my... er... the trailer attachment point bit and the trailer obviously. the trailer is mainly done other than i might make the stripe curve down and back up in the middle. the UV is messed up in 3 minor places on the trailer, but i can't figure out how to fix it and the average person won't notice (especially with cam bounds set to default). the cab still needs ELS - which i probably will use Yankee43's fedsig navigator again. (haven't fully decided) and add a q to the bumper.

Hello, overnight i made this with inspiration from emsfan112. it obviously needs some work, but here is the rough idea of a USAR/SO trailer for one of the off-map agencies

Hello, apologies for my hiatus here. i am in the process of redoing station 99 (South Blainland) as i think the units looked like trash and some of them were not scaled properly. I made a engine using Itchyboy's International Terrastar cab and a rear made by me with a lot of help and teachings from Itchyboy. it also includes some small beacons from EmC-Unit's Light Pack, and Yankee43's 53" Federal Signal Navigator lightbar. The texture is not yet complete, and many improvements on the model can probably be done, but for now, here's where E99-2 stands. I am also in the process of (yet again) reworking the map as i am unhappy with it. I've also taken one of Itchyboy's Ambulances from his Ambulance Pack and kitted out with lights from his Emergency Light Equipment pack to match those of the ones local to me, and will hopefully not only use them in Logi Valley, but also Ormond Beach once i return to it.

And with that i shall crawl back to my cave, and will update once there's something interesting. Thank you for reading, User.

Hi there! Not sure what you're referring to when you say do we have templates, but i'll try to help out. here are some links that have a 'blank' so to speak Ford Explorer.

I hope this helps!

Really like what you got so far for this submod!
I made a album of 80s-90s LAPD vehicle pics I collected over the years a while ago, perhaps it could be useful for you as it also includes a lot of hard to find stuff like retro k9 units.
https://imgur.com/a/nnhZx89

damn, those are some amazing pics. wish i had them when i was digging up photos lmao, thank you.

forgot to mention the blue stripe on Port Police is just a placeholder. Itchy will be making a gradient on it like the real ones.

Police skins are here.

Would you mind navigating to this folder; (C:>Programfiles(86x)>Steam>Steamapps>common>Emergency 4 Deluxe>Data>Scripts) and posting a picture of its contents here?

Also, if you press ESC while on this 'map', are you able to go to the main menu, and say load a mod?

Nice work! This mod is going to be awesome when it comes out!

Thanks, Jacob!

I think you can edit the materials.xml and change the combustion and burntime to change fire spread.

This is true, haven't tried it yet because it's currently not a hugeeee concern. still finishing up 3d models for map and some new vehicles.

This mod looks really good especially the old model fire engines. Looking at the map though, forest fires are going to be a pain in the rear. If one starts while you're busy doing something else then the whole map could burn down. How will they be scripted?

I'm working on a way to mitigate that, by adding fire lines and such. I hope to find a way to make fires spread slower. 

you should be fine to install it now.
