b2bomber Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 My company uses hydrants, not lakes. we have 1500ft of 5in LDH for our supply lineit all depends on your region. Some places are rural thats all they got its what they work with. all though your right most departments have a fire hydrant system in place here in the USA.

Guest emergency captain Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 We are going off topic, I think there was one question about having two FFs on one hose, now were talking about who's department has what sizes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick9894 Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 yea so does any 1 know if there will be changing seasons in the mod? so say if its winter and the seasonal trucks in the FDNY fleet will be used? such as the hydrants might be frozen and then the thawing truck would need to be used Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TacticalRooster22 Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 We are going off topic, I think there was one question about having two FFs on one hose, now were talking about who's department has what sizes. About the 2 men per hose, it's already been stated that the game doesn't allow it. It's not in the sripts and would be very hard to do. Even EM2012 doesn't have that. And Patrick, I don't think that seasons are possible in the game either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kookas Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 Yes, EM2012 doesn't have many things we asked for, because they don't read these forums. It is probably just EM4 with new graphics, physics and AI.But I think you might be able to add two-man hoses. I don't know how the two-man hoses work, but isn't it just two firefighters on the hose? Maybe you could have it so that you click on one firefighter, attach him to the hose blah blah like you would normally, and get another and attach him to that firefighter. Then, when you move either one of those firefighters, the other tries to move to exactly the same place (maybe plus or minus a few units in either direction).Seasons might not be possible to change dynamically during gameplay, but it should be possible to change them when you're not running the game just by changing the textures. For example, in winter, change the map texture so that it looks like there is lots of snow. You could also create a snow effect like with rain which covers the screen. If I am thinking of how maps work correctly, that should be very easy to do by making the Config swap a file around and modify an xml file. However, I don't know about the snow effect itself (I do know it is possible, however). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest emergency captain Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 Maybe they could have an option to change seasons. For example, before you start the game, you could pick a season with the some map, just snow or rain or leaves everywhere. And I beleive the hoses may have something to do with the gated Wye. Not sure on that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The game doesnt allow alot of things but that hasnt stopped mods from accomplishing it. As for seasons, Winterberg has an option to turn snow on and off so I dont see why this wouldnt be possible.

captonbob Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 I have not played the winterburg mod, but with the snow option and such does that slow down all vehicles like in real life and if so or even if not dose anyone know if the ny mod will suport that. I know if its raining or snowing it would be cool to have bad visability and longer responce times and slower movement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest emergency captain Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 Meaning can you turn rain on or off in the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xplorer4x4 Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 Actually, you can disable it in the freeplay_params and then probably script a command to turn it on and off. It would take a very complex script I imagine but I imagine its possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saxguitar Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 As time goes on with this mod I see that it is getting better and better. However with this comes somes fear, I feel that it will be to much for the game at some point and was wondering just how complex you intend for the end product to be? Because the more complex something is, the more prone it is to problems and bugs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b2bomber Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 Lol! did you guys build your own editor and then a game. Its just amazing what people say you can't do and then a group like you guys come along and do the so called impossible. Now I know thats not an update but, Great work. I cant wait to be able to play it for myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
