Tommy Gavin Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 There will be one map to start with, which will be the area around 100 Duane Street, but as time goes on, they will create more maps that will change as you play through the mod. So if you are playing a china town map, the dragonfighters will be on it, if you're playing a World Trade Center area map, the ten house will be on it, and so on.Fair Enough, so I guess the other units are off map (obviously) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefighter111 Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 Fair Enough, so I guess the other units are off map (obviously)Yes, and they will be running their own calls to the point where they might not be available for some of your calls.

Station27 Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 I can imagine a Manhattan map, with 2 or max. 3 fire houses, and everything else is off map... these are still not much apparatus on the map comparing to other mods...They said that there will be more than 1 map and most units will be on the map Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aflac Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought on the startup menu they previewed, it had an area selection menu, which had the 5 boroughs.I assume there is an area from each borough used as the map.EDIT: Sorry, my mistake,Post #2435It shows just Manhattan. But it does show that there are multiple maps, so maybe the boroughs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerome Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 They said the maps would be based on certain areas within the boroughs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeff19992008 Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 Following this topic, the mod seems much more advanced than any other mod I have ever seen. No offense to hoppah but, his mod seems a little "out-dated" compared to this mod. Over-all I hope this mod will be at leased or even more better than the LA mod.

Hoppah's mod is not "out-dated", Hoppah just does not want to add all these extra features like these guys into the game simply because its really not needed. It would be cool but there is a lot of time and scripting, etc. that needs to be done to make everything do what you want it to do. Until this mod is released, there should be no comparing saying other mods are out-dated because I'm still going to play the LA mod and this mod when it comes out, simple as that.

I'm not a modder, just learning so I can't remod LA mod. I am saying that maybe it is time for a new mod, new experience. And yeah, I still play the LA mod, I mean it's still the greatest mod out... For now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TacticalRooster22 Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 Well yeah. This mod has features that are (supposedly) simple and realistic. At least the mod will be in English and I know my American stuff (obviously), so this mod won't be hard to play for me. Anyway, realistic, different, and new, that describes the NY mod so far!

jerome Posted February 26, 2011 Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 Maybe they have it so you click the building, And a Picture or w/e pops up. From there you could choose which floor you want to view Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick9894 Posted February 26, 2011 Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 yea i know since they have the high rise packs that it will be in the mod. I just have no idea how it will be possible to view and manage everything. But im sure they have a system and it will be amazing:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njboy13 Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 [off topic removed by staff]About the high rises, I'll be interested in seeing how they turn out too. You can see in the first post they have pictures of high-rises, and I'm guessing you will only be able to see certain floors, (Similar to how it's done in Sims 3 Late Night if you are familiar with that game. But we'll find out soon enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we'll find out soon enough.With all due respect, I think the high-rise packs will only replace the "usual" hoselines. If you order a firefighter to get a hoseline, it will just look like a high-rise pack in every situation. Like they have the screenshot for the "odor of gas", the FFs have high-rise packs, which I think are only normal hoselines, if you want to get attached to a hydrant or engine.Putting out high rise fires, I think it will be similar to previous EM4 scenarios, you will be able to enter one level, where you can operate. It will be interesting how FFs will reach a certain floor, because ladders tend not to reach high rise fires , will see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the high-rise packs is replacing the hose from the original games. The high-rise packs will be for hooking in to sprinklers and standpipes at high rise fires, and the lines on the back of the engine will be the attack and supply lines, it will be completely different from the original game.

great guy Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 i wonnder if when you tell a ff in the mod to get a certian hoseline, i wonder if they will be able to grab the hoselines off the hose bed on the back of the engine?
