Yes it was a dodge, if you look at the first post you can see the updated unit list

Yeah I saw that just wondering why the change. Also saw you added a patrol 4, I like how you going with different patrol units (Tahoe, charger, explorer). 

Medics look good. I like how you have a rescue medic as well. 

Wasn't chief 1 pov a dodge? Now it's an expedition. 

Anyone who wants to play with a vintage mac or a 80s ford c-series ladder. This mod is for you. 

I'm helping with the realism and unit list so from my understanding it's going to be super realistic. 

Oh and this is my volunteer dept. 

Well I'm excited.

Odd, pic works fine. City layout, yeap. Even if stations and dispatch are 'weak', it will more than make up for it if they have a custom map over it.

The mods that tend to last long all have new maps, often entirely new scenery, ambient stuff and just the overall background. Things like these 'mask' out gameplay issues and help keep the mod playable over a long period of time. The more new content, the more attention they pay to the 'bigger picture' instead singling out or focusing on one aspect of the project because there is nothing else. It spreads out the end-user's attention so that they feel overwhelmed and overlook bugs or issues, even glaring ones.

Makes sense, some of the best mods have their own maps.

If they do a new map on it (very much possible, given how simple the layout of this is), it would actually be pretty unique even if it resembled another mod.

Are you talking about the city layout? 

(I can't view the picture)

Which is rather funny because I posted that comment first.

at this time folks the time has come for the ideas to come to a close. We would like to thank everyone for there amazing ideas as the next modification coming to em4 as many of you have gave ideas of locations where you live unfortunately we can only pick one. as we have all of them that have been given as ideas we want YOU to the decision makers. the next forum above will be setup as a poll of all the ideas that have been give, we would like everyone to vote on an idea although we can not force this but when voting please do not vote for you mod as that defeats the purpose. if you have given an idea please vote for a differant mod you would like to see. the poll will run until  11 PM. Sunday so get over and cast your vote now the decision is yours.

I don't know if you can edit the poll but You should probably take out Texas city. The way they are organized is very similar to Bushton. So if it were to win it would just be a watered down (way less units) version of Bushton. 

(I'm assuming you are planing to make the units/resources as accurate as you can.)

we currently have a team of 5 

That's a decent sized team. You know, you could just make a mod on a fictional area and use the units you want.

OK our team can mostly do anything to do with modding so i will go ahead and put the 3 places in with the rest of the suggestions 

How big is your team?

Depends on how much work you want to put into it. 

If you go with san Leon I'll be on your ass about getting things correct (1 station (I'm ok with 2 but they better be the northwest one and the central one). Engine 1 is like 2006ish spartan gladiator with evolution front end which there's no skin for it (that I know of). And a ton more stuff that I'd want to see correct.

baycliff, would be easy to make because they only use pierces and fords (and 1 Tahoe). 

Texas city is the least I care about getting correct (as long as the numbering is correct) this is all the most simllair to Bushton units wise so in theory it's only a reskin with new events. 

Up up to you honestly your going to be making it I'll just be playing it. 

Also these 3 depts I know very well because I volunteer at one of them, the other is our "sister station" and main mutual aid unit. The other Provides mutral aid EMS and 1/4 of my dept works there full time.

oh ok i understand ya know and you dont have to be bias i want you guys to give me new ideas for mods so if you want to see a mod have a texas setting name a place. and also i was unaware that alot of police departments out west where changing to those types of vehicles.

Texas city (3 fire stations paid dept, 3 engines, ladder 3-4 medic boxs only man 3 boxs the last one only called if needed a brush truck 1 Command unit) local PD Texas city police

(Getting new station next year)

population less then 50,000

san Leon TX ( in unincorporated Community  with 1 volunteer fire dept with 2 engine 1  reserve engine, f-550 rescue, booster (brush truck), command and 1 first responder truck. EMS (county)  (1 ALS unit) is in the next town over. Local sheriff office 

(next year first responder car being replaced with F-550 and and a new engine most likely tanker pumper)

population 5000

baycliff Texas (next to san Leon) 1sation (volunteer) with 1 rescue engine, 1 normal engine; 1 command, 1 utility, 1 former first responder car (someone got in trouble) EMS the same als that san Leon uses. Sheriff office

(Getting new brush truck this year and maybe a quint next year)

Populaton less then 10000

Theres a ton more in this  County  similar to these areas (19 in total) and then theirs like 50 in the other County. Let me know if you need more places/ideas.

The UV Mapping was screwed up on the S10 and I didnt feel like messing with it

Not a big loss in my opinion I would have rather had an F-350.

i agree on most of what you said that i could have to disagree on is all the Taurus police vehicles and etc.. that is  what most police departments have now days and what ever we do with the mod will be based off of the location that was choose. and for the realism that is our main goal to make it as realistic as possible although there are certain things we could not change due to files

If you need a location do something original that fits the map. Mayberry map is more forestry area with possibly a up and coming  Community. I can name a ton of communities like that near or around Houston Texas (like the area where my Volunteer station is). But then again I'm going to be biased. 

As for the Taurus comment fact ford sold 2x as many explorers (utilities) then the interceptors. (Roughly 60,000 utilities compared to 30,000) That's why they got the face lift first. If you live in up north or on the east coast of the u.s. you'd say that's what depts are switching too. But I can name a ton of depts that went with the Tahoe and or chargers (Houston, Dallas, Chicago, CHP, Texas DPS) But I don't want to argue. 

(Note I only said change up police vehicles because a ton of mods already use Ford's.)  

A realistic one. 

The issues I have with Mayberry/bushton is there's a ton of on map units and stations. Realsitcily there should only be 2 fire stations (max) with 3 engine companies (max). Plus a some support units a rescue, booster utility and command. 

Get rid of the the police units and go with chevy or dodge to many mods have fords (crown Vic, explorer (utility), interceptor (taurus). Add a real PD supervisor (not just some car that says supervisor that Mayberry/bushton did).    

If you want to make it harder only have 1 EMS box (ALS) and 1 First responder car (ALS) with only BLS mutual aid. 

Thats what i would like to see in a mod. I could careless what it's called. 

Whatever mod you make, try and make it original not just some reskin of Mayberry.

WIP of New Station 1

Not bad so far.

I noticed you traded the S-10 for a F-350.

Yes

 

So is that going to be the light schemes for the fire dept red/amber? 

Is that a captain side rear amber rotary light? 

Just now, willowfork fire capt said:

It will be parked on map at a house

The chief pov has red and green lights signifying it as a command unit other than that it is just a normal POV that is parked on map, for the volunteers 8 FFs 2 Capts for each station but this may change

Can chief 1 be parked on map?

What makes chief pov better then rest of the dept? Also what's the max volunteers that can be called In.
