It's been awhile, but I put together a little maintenance + minor feature release today. While there is not too much different, I thinks its a decent update given the few hours it took to put it all together. Unfortunately many hours were wasted trying to make apartment buildings enterable, so I couldn't get more done. There is more to come, so please post any suggestions and bugs!

 

Changes since v2.0.4

 

 

Bug Fix: Station 82 (Upper Right) units no longer take a stupid detour to the back of their station when responding to calls. While sending station 82 units to the far right end of the hospital property may still produce this issue, it is overall rate of occurrence is vastly reduced.

Bug Fix: Emergency vehicles can no longer enter the park from the northern pedestrian walk way.

Optimization: A gate has been added to the west side of the park to allow emergency vehicles to easily enter the park.

Optimization: A small area of the park has been cleared of debris to that it could be used as a Helicopter landing zone for those times you want to role play a bit.

Addition: Narco's light pack/coronas are now bundled with the mod. Manual installation of the light pack is no longer required.

Addition: Paramedics and EMS Supervisors can now change into High Visibility jackets for use on traffic accidents or other hazardous conditions. (Blue helmets coming soon!)

Addition: New Flight Medic personnel added. Flight medics have same abilities as regular paramedics, however they have a completely different skin.

 

This puts us at v2.0.5

 

There are a few outstanding bugs I want to tackle so stay tuned for the next release. As always there is no ETA. I do have plans on creating a "Special Edition" version of this mod which replaces the tiller-based Quint with a ladder truck and removes the Heavy Rescue Crane. If you notice any bugs please post them here so I can look into them.

 

Download is available on the first page.

Hey Chris, do you plan on adding the limited water supply script at any time?!

Thanks for the update!

First off, I apologize if this has been answered in a thread. I promise I did a forum search and I couldn't find the answer.

Which file do you delete so you have to call all units in when you start a new game. I prefer to use some different staffing on certain apparatus other than what most mod creators use in a SP. I've done this before, but I cannot remember for the life of me.

Thanks!

Edit:

This should be in em4 mod support not em5 sorry!  

I just played the mod and I it freezes after like 30 seconds ... Is this a bug or just my pc? 

 

My pc runs em4 on low setting perfectly. Same for every other mod. I have no issues on other mods.

 

My pc:

Asus notebook K52F/K62F Series

Intel® Pentium ® CPU       P6200  @ 2.13 Ghz   2.13 Ghz

Installed Memory (RAM): 4.00 GB (3.79GB usable)

64 bit

Your PC.

This was the best one I could find and I think it would fit perfect

Itchboy asked for tones, not a station siren. Tones are what your dispatcher drops over the radio to set off Minitor pagers and station sirens like you linked above. 

Video is from 13-14 years ago. Except for the most resource-strapped departments and communities, most have probably gone to more modern forms of communications that don't cause loud disruptions to their communities.

We still run our siren at our station. Everything in the fire service is about tradition really. Alot of stations in my area still have those. Across the river if they get a structure fire and alert all four companies, four whistles go off. It has nothing to do with communication other than letting the public know there is an emergency that fire department personnel are responding to. Possibly for weather warnings as well such as tornado, severe thunderstorm etc.

Ever heard of texting or phoning the volunteers? Maybe even a pager? 

Read above. also, what do you think they did before texting and or pagers? There were no cells phones back in 1990 and before unless you had the big mobile phone in a bag, which not many people did.

Itchboy, if you want, you can send me a PM, and we can discuss the script issues you're having with lag. The lag is 99% certainly caused by script issues, I've just gotta see what they are. I'm downloading the released version now, and when I get that I'll play a bit over the next little while to see if I can't find some stuff that's happening there.

Amazing mod. I dont post here often but I try out all the mods that are US based. Coming from a combination department (Paid/Volunteer) and being a line officer for my company, I absolutely love this mod. I have some lag, but nothing un-playable (I have a gaming rig luckily). I love the realism. Everything is extremely well done. Kudos to you guys big time, this mod is one of a kind and I love what you guys are doing. The only question I have is:

How do you get the ladder trucks master stream to work? Sorry if i'm missing something stupid and wasting forum space but i've tried hooking them to hydrants and the operator on the tip doesn't do anything. The commands to cool/extinguish are still grayed out. Do you have to pump from an engine to the ladder? I haven't tried that but it looked like a Quint so I figured it would have its own pump on it, it looks similar to the 2003 E-One we operate at my station. I didn't see a pump command on a FF/EMT when they are standing idle next to it.

Otherwise I cannot wait for the next patch to fix some of the little bugs. For anyone who says this un-playable you need to either A.) Upgrade your rigs (Cmon guys its 2014  ) or B.) learn to overcome some simple bugs and crashes. It isn't hard to disable a vehicle and extinguish quickly call tow. 

Great mod guys!!!!!!!  

There is a video, where they are toned out for Automatic alarm on burning highway in the plant. I have that dl'd as a station tone in my game.

Great mod, love the new sounds and how realistic they sound. Great job mate.

Newest link to update is broken.

Well looks like my dream of it being sneak realeased on 9/11 isn't going to come true.

Ah, Okay guys thanks for the help.

Hey guys, you can probably tell that I love firefighting or emergency services in general just because I play this game and because I'm posting on these forums, but I've always wanted to become a firefighter. I've already graduated from high school, and have gotten good grades all throughout. Firstly, to begin I don't know where to look to get any training to become a firefighter. I mean, I've google'd and haven't found anything legitimate. So if any of you guys have any sources or schools, or anything, please post it here. (By the way, I live in the Pittsburgh, PA area.) Secondly, I am a type 1 Diabetic. I've read online if you take good care of it and have a doctor sign off saying so, it isn't a problem at all, but I've also read you can't be a Firefighter if you do have type 1. Can anyone please give me some clarification on this? Like I said this has always been a dream, but might not be possible due to the way some things are, so if you guys could give me some hints or any help I'd appreciate it.

I'd love to help test this if you'd like mate. I have alot of time I could devote to help you out. Know some basic scripting just let me know through pm mate

oh btw, Sounds amazing, keep up the good work regardless. Can't wait for it to be released.

hold the phone, there isn't any "game" in my shortcut target line. And when I add -editor at the end it says cannot be found.

Use the same shortcut as your EM4, but at the target location, there is "game" in there, change it to "editor" so it now looks like "[...]/Em4.exe -editor".

thank you my friend this may be locked.

Where is the editor located? I can't seem to find it.

I cannot wait for this to come outttt!!!

The resolution you entered in the game config file

is to great for you display.

It states:

The pieces in red are what i mean:

You entered a resolution of 1680 x 1050

But this it to great by 402.

Try changing the config file to:

1280 x768(this is widescreen resolution(16:9))

or if you have an 4:3 screen use this one: 1280 x1024 if the game still crashes and the log file tells you the same, you could try:

1024 x768

or

1280 x960

Small edit:

Acording to your DXdiag file, your screen should support the 1680x1080 resolution.

But the game does not seem to know that.

Try to run it with a lower resolution first.

See if it starts.

if it does. use the options (in the game) to change it to its highest.

If the game still work.

Reopen it Be sure to use notepad and change the config file to the 1680x1050.

my native resolution is 1680x1050 though, and thats what im running it at now, and im getting bad performance somehow. My rig should deff run this game better.

Everytime I edit my config file, with notepad, and change it to read only, it crashes my game. It will start up and begin loading in the processes, then a black screen will pop up, and crash after that. I do not know what I am doing wrong. I edited it to 1680x1050. I have LA mod installed as well
