Station27 Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 Are there going to be stations on the map? Will it have anything to do with the movie "Backdraft" ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefighter111 Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 Are there going to be stations on the map? Will it have anything to do with the movie "Backdraft" ?I don't think so, look at the model they're making, it looks like a modern truck.

helljumper51 Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 Hey nice model so far, but I see you are using 3ds Max. I would not recommend making half of the model and then mirroring it. It is a very lazy and half ass(pardon my langauge) way of doing it. you add way more polys than needed, and it makes UV Mapping harder than it should be. Take the time and do the entire thing. you will use less polys, which you can than take advantage of and add more details. The game doesnt like anything over around 5000 polys. Then you can make something like this: http://s52.photobucket.com/albums/g19/helljumper51/?action=view¤t=dsasa.pngwhich is easier to UV Map and works well ingame.

helljumper51 Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 UV mapping in 3ds is really nice to use IF you know how to use it. otherwise its a pain in the ass lol. Also one time when I exported to zmodeler to export as a v3o model, the texture didnt show up. so I had to retexture. I find it is just easier to do it in zmodeler.

CultziBolzi Posted February 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 No i think its going to include only one station, but the other cars are going to be callable ofc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njboy13 Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 For the initial release of the mod, you should seriously think a lot smaller scale. Honestly, there's no need for all of that apparatus weather they come from on or off the map. The model looks really nice though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Station27 Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 No i think its going to include only one station, but the other cars are going to be callable ofcYou could make it so that its only one Battalion on the Map and the others are from off the map. Since theres only a couple trucks in each station this would be more realistic. Also is the map going to be a modified of the original or a completely new one. My mod is having a new map. Do you have anyone doing scripts or will there not be any new ones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mclovin Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 all of the units is pretty much just a matter of renumbering (two engine models are engine 42 and engine 4)(truck models would be truck 3 and tower 10)(ambos are all the same) (chief cars r either ford explorers or expeditions or Chevy Tahoe). i would probably just do battalion 1 coverage E8 house E 4 house and E5 house. any special units i.e. dive van or collapse truck can just be called off map.
