I'm trying to make a second water rescue vehicle in the LA mod, I basically (in the editor) just copied all the traits and commands and added the boat superstuct and named those (FMB, FMB1, FMB2, ect.) I also added another superstruct but only for aesthetic reasons. I modified the shipdrop script to refer to the light equipment vehicle prototype instead of the swift water rescue prototype. However, when I spawn the vehicle in-game it shows up without any of the superstructs showing. Not even the one for aesthetic reasons. Because the boats aern't there I cant use them obviously. I'm guessing it has something to do with the script because the shipdrop command does not show up. What the heck am I doing wrong here?

This should cover some stuff you can use. Only thing is that for 3D modeling i'd recommend using a program called blender instead of zmodeler, but thats just my opinion. If you have any specific questions feel free to ask. http://www.emergency-planet.com/tutorials/category/1-english/

If you want to use the ARFF rigs then go for it, this looks like a it will be a good mod.

A modern em4 would be awesome, It's a shame that em5 was so different than it's older emergency titles. I think the developers just wanted to take a chance and try something different but of course it ultimately failed. Hopefully we'll see a better game soon because I believe that there have been some hints of an emergency 6 in production under a different company. FUN FACT, if you look at the file structures and editor as well as just general gameplay you can see that emergency 4 is in fact just a modernized version of emergency 3. If there was to be a modern or remastered version of the game though I hope there would be some better missions, em5's campaign missions sucked, and a lot of people say that em4's were good but personally I didn't like them. Em3's were really good though.

I can do some more textures if needed; I haven't done lights in awhile but I can try.

You'd better start your mod and show people what you got so far otherwise people will think that you want to just use them rather than work with them. Also, maybe leave out the "Very strict" part...

Hoppah was the original modder who made the LA mod way back when emergency 3 and 4 had been released. He is considered the person who set the standard for what American mods should be like as his LA mod has been the framework that hundreds of other mods were made from and almost every single American based mod has some of his work in it. He decided to stop modding a few years ago, though he's not dead. Whoever said that probably just meant that his hobby of modding is dead, not that he himself is dead. the LA mod 2.1 is the official LA mod made by him for emergency 4. The mod has seen plenty of more recent releases of it in the form of submods. You are allowed to update it however you like but if you plan to release it make sure to give credit to hoppah and anyone else's work you used.

really sad to hear about this man, I know how over the years things similar to this have been a problem though so it's 100% understandable to make your decision. Thanks for all the help and content you offered over the years.

looks good to me. good luck with the mod.

wow, never thought i'd actually see ground ladders in em4. amazing work!

My department carries 16 foot straight ladders and 20 foot straight ladders for second floor access (or they can be used as roof ladders), 24 and 28 foot extension ladders for 2-3 floor access (These consist of one base section and one fly section), and we have one 35 foot extension ladder for 3-4 floor access (this also has one base and one fly). the 16 and 20 footers can be carried by one person, the 24 and 28 can be both carried and raised by one person if needed but preferably two people. and the 35 should be raised by 2, preferably 3 or 4 people. Also, we carry a 10 foot and 14 foot attic ladders for for use inside of structures but could be used outside to get to very low hanging roofs and such.

I forgot to upload these! I just did now and they are pending approval. Have fun with them!

Cool, good luck!

Wow… did that ambulance take a shortcut through a crowd of people on the way to a call?lol

I remember those competitions, we should bring them back. I'd definitely participate in them.

Try turning off shadows in the settings, or using a better graphics card if you have one.

hey quick tip, more people will be inclined to help you if you show what progress you have so far with pictures.

Hey, I know it's been awhile but I just now decided to implement this script but am having some troubles. I'm trying to use it in the Copenhagen airport mod but after I set up the script the install tender command simply does not appear upon clicking on the unit. What I've done so far is make a dummy model that I would use for all 3 of the units, add the commands to the units. and modify the script to point to the correct .e4p files.

ay, is there a simple script anywhere that would just allow me to swap between 2 vehicles? so like when I click the script the current vehicle disappears and a different vehicle appears in it's place, and if I click it again the old vehicle appears again while still maintaining all the people inside?

If your near los angles try to stop by L.A. County station 127, which is where they filmed a fire dept based t.v. show called Emergency!

Now THAT is about the coolest and most useful script ive seen in a while!

Made a poll for if you'd prefer 90's or 2000's style units, make sure to vote.

seems cool. good luck with this (:

woo! I've seen these popping up in some towns near me, I will definitely have to play around with it for awhile.

This sure is odd, when you try reinstalling a mod try using the em4 modinstaller to uninstall it (the original files) first if you haven't already tried that.
