    Some advice regarding multiple unit numbers. Most people tend to just slap a different number and call it a day. Having 5 identical Taurus cruisers with the same exact equipment gets really boring and makes each unit feel like a clone of the other. Sometimes though, vehicles in a fleet have mild differences between them despite being 'identical'. Example here:

     

    This one has two bumper mounted speakers.

     

    On the opposite end, this one has speakers inside the bumper. It also has an unkown object on the left grill. The airhorn is also positioned more to the right.

    For the purposes of Em4, try making one instance of each vehicle. On a police side, a decent sampling could be like this:

    • Taurus cruiser
    • Taurus cruiser w rambar
    • Taurus cruiser supervisor
    • 11 CVPI with LED bar
    • 06 CVPI with older lightbar

    Adding tiny differences with each vehicle adds a nice touch that gives each vehicle its own unique 'identity'. It also helps with realism.

    Thanks for the Advice, This is a base on Boston, so the police has a very wide range of units, for police. I will look into what I can do, Maybe not have 2 of the same thing?

    This is a fictional town, I plan to make some very cool stuff, but not everything is started or finished. I will give updates to it on a weekly basis, if not every couple of days. 

  3. Hello everyone, 

    I have been modding for a bit now, and I have some stuff I have not fully learned, or have yet to figure out. Some stuff I am working on right now are,
    Start engine for every unit
    Not being able to move unit with out someone in it
    The scene placement script from London
    Creating new events-MVA's, Fires, Vehicle fires,Shrub Fires, And possible a hazmat tanker leak(the people have been contaminated and need to bring hazmat in)
    Mid mount Towers
    Adding a tiller,
    Adding new units-I have done a very little amount and only one time worked.
    Making the la Heavy crane a tow truck- I have the stuff just do not know how to put the "damaged car" on it when it picks it up and the commands are not working.
    VO Creatments-so I can add parking spots, EXT
    Lastly, Changing fire specs- how the fires look

    I have a feeling most is simple but I just have not been able to find out how to do it.  

    Thanks for the advice in advance, I have tried for a couple of weeks to try all of this and have run out of ideas.

    What exactly are they describing? The FP map is wrong? No vehicles show up? Or all modified content does not appear? Some clarification would be needed. It might just be a simple mistake on your part when sending the mod to a 3rd party. Checking in the editor to verify would also be a good step for them to take. Try asking them to take a look around.

    If you have the units correctly placed, be sure to check the specs and lang folder as well for the relevant files there, in context to vehicles. The xmls in the specs files link the prototypes you made to the unit.xml files you made, plus also enables the new units to be playable in FP. The Lang folder contains the text displayed in the UI for your new units. If either the unts, lang or specs folder files are wrong or have mistakes, the unit(s) will not show up ingame, or they will appear incorrectly and potentially cause a CTD.

    They say that it is the standard game but i asked about the new units from the mod and they say the files are there. So it seems like something odd is screwed up. When i get home I can ask them

  5. Hi, I uploaded a mod and it was working fine in my version if the game. I then uploaded the mod to mega and who ever downloads it says that it reverts to the base game. From what I have heard that the units are still in the folder, just not loading into the game. I cant check because my main pc is at my moms and im at my dads till thursday If anyone has any ideas on what I need to do when I get back home thursday to fix this. Thanks
