Re: Lights and FPS, the main 'killer' is the radiation. Radiation and other such texture effects dont seem to perform very well in Em4. I'd advise cutting down on them significantly, at most 4 maybe 5 lights with radiation on the entire vehicle. Second component would be the number of lights. Em4 handles corona and polygon lights reasonably, but once you start hitting the triple digits (100 up) then performance issues begin to manifest.

I think we're moving on the right track now with the lights. Thanks for the help! We really appreciate it! 

Small picture update, I know we haven't done anything in awhile. We are currently working on the lighting of appartus to reduce lag and hopefully increase FPS. Here is Truck 82, Engine 82, Rescue 82, and Heavy Rescue 82 on scene of an MVA. You can get a small peek at the new Henderson Rescue and Heavy Rescue!

How many on map Fd stations will there be.

Bushton has four stations already in the map, so most likely we will be keeping them. Two will be FCFRD, two will be HFD. I doubt we will add any stations in the future.

Henderson Fire has paramedics on every appartus and has rescue units, Frederick County has paramedics on medic units and rescue engines only (part time.) So yes, all on map FD's will have the ability to transport patients. But we will let you staff appartus with whatever you're comfortable with or require, we possibly plan on keeping AMR in the game and might add Medic West or Community Ambulance. If not, they will be replaced with Clark County Fire Department for rescue appartus.

Will the fire dept run the EMS or are you guys going with someone else?

Love the skins, any chance you might make one of the ladders into a tower?

Thanks! We are currently attempting that, we just moved from Mayberry to Bushton to make a couple things easier, we should be posting some more pictures soon here!

I googled Henderson PD and they got some good looking Tahoes. 

Thanks! So far we have nothing done for PD, that should come in the next few updates.

Not looking frovard to another dressed mayberry mod

We plan to change the current mayberry map and add more callouts/scripts in an attempt to make the game more realistic. 

We will be adding more pictures and updates to the forum as well

This is planned to be a full conversion mod of the Mayberry Mod v1.5. We plan to have about five to six playable departments in-game; such as Henderson Fire Department, Frederick County Fire & Rescue, Henderson Police Department, Frederick County Sherrifs Office, Clark County Fire Department, and Winchester Fire & Rescue. The Henderson Fire Department and Clark County Fire Department are located in southern Nevada. While FCFRD and Winchester are located in east Virginia. Me and my friend both live in these states so we decided to mash up our units as if they were mutual aid from another department. These are all real departments located in Virginia and Nevada. As of now, we are just texturing units and getting familiar with EM4 modding. We have planned to add apparatus such as additional out of district units and mutual aid. Mass Casualty Incidents, numerous structure fires and Motor Vehicle Accidents can be expected in the release. As of now, it is in Alpha stage, and will not have a download link for some time.  You can look at some pictures below to get familiar with the apparatus and planned callouts that will be included in this mod. We are also planning to edit the Mayberry/LA map aswell in the future as we start to exit the Alpha stages.

Thanks for helping me out! I was able to find the door and replace it, it looks perfect now. However I found the door in an out of map engine that we plan to retexture as a mutual aid engine from another department. The same problem might consist for the mutual aid, but we might be able to figure something out. Thanks again your help!

So me and my friend are editing Mayberry Mod 1.5 to put our own department's units in game. However we're having some trouble, We have already textured numberous apparatus, however the old mayberry units texture are still on certain doors and  remain on the vehicle. Even though we have textured over them in the .png they still show up in-game. When I open the EM4 Editor, I can see the door in the vehicles at "Children" "Doors" I know the door files are V3O, does this mean that I would need to get Zmodeler to change the texture of the doors?  If so, is Zmodeler free and is it possible to export the changes without trouble? I appreciate the help! Thanks!

Thanks!  I appreciate it! We just got it working and we're doing great so far! Thanks for the help!

So me and a friend are trying to texture our own Fire Department's units ingame for the Mayberry Mod 1.5. Im currently using Gimp and Microsoft Paint. One of the things that is killing is trying to copy and paste a decal from a real life picture on to the EM4 file. Such as the wording: "Henderson Fire" I can get it on the picture just fine, but I have to go in and edit every single pixel that is out of color. It pastes as a completely different color than what the Engine and Rescue background is. Does anyone know an easier way to do this? The Engine background that I have is white, but the copy and paste will be very noticable when I load in game and zoom in close. Im pretty new to texturing, but im also trying to make it as realistic as possible. Trying to get every decal that I can on, but its giving me trouble when I have to go in and edit every single tiny pixel out of color. Any help is very appreciated! Thanks!

Yes they did, we're also mixing an east county fire department from Virginia in. So it'll be a mix of two departments

We recently have been doing challenges. So we only see Fire/EMS in the game. We'll be making alot of new MVA's, MCI's, and natural gas explosions. You'll see the average police calls that Bushton offers in freeplay. Thanks for the help! You kick started this whole thing!

The Henderson Fire Department is located in Henderson, Nevada. Frederick County Fire & Rescue is located in Winchester, Virginia. These two departments will be combined together in the same city. This mod is a submod for Bushton V2, but will be uploaded as a one time transfer file into the mods folder. Only vehicle skin re-textures and additional callouts are in development at this time. The mod can be played in both singleplayer and multiplayer. Mutual aid from out of boundary can be requested to respond, such as Clark County Fire Deapartment and Las Vegas Fire & Rescue. Truck 11, Engine 18, Heavy Rescue 44, and Rescue 1 can be dispatched for mutal aid. Station 1 (82) and 4 (94) will be Henderson apparatus, while station 2 (21) and 3 (13) will be Frederick County apparatus. Me and a friend came up with this idea not too long ago, we like to play casual realism games on EM4. If you're ever interested in playing Bushton or our HFD and FCFR submod with us, leave us a reply and we would love to have you join! Release date: TBA.

Thank you guys! I'll check it out and start going on it, I really appreciate the help!

Me and a friend play on the Bushton Mod V2. We are thinking about adding our own fire department's vehicles to the apparatus list on Bushton. I have seen some tutorials on YouTube, but alot of comments were reporting errors after trying. All of this is a completely different language for us. We both have zero experience in modding. Im not exactly sure which program to use. My department has enough photos of the rigs to be able to texture it, but I have no idea how to edit and use the software. If we also had the textures done, we are not sure how we would combine the download so that we would both have each others fire department skins split on the map, as if it were a different county in each district. Is it possible to edit the textures of vehicles, and then reupload the entire mod or just those select files on a private website? Im not sure if the author Starm has released any notification that we can't reupload, but I will look. It's all really hard to think about getting done, I would really appreciate the help!
