Thank you for the nice comment So guys we've got a couple of new units to show off...Introducing the Scania 3 series cab. These are some of the older units which will be included in the mod. There is still a few of these in service. although they are being replaced with the newer Scania cab. Scania 93M Foam This first variant is using a slightly darker red than usual and the side stripes on the cab are the older style that Essex units used to have. On top of the cab sits the old Premier Hazard Maxim lightbar, with rotating lights. Scania 93 Rescue Tender Next is the Rescue tender which carries a lot of extra/specialized equipment providing support to other units on various incidents. please note that the inside needs some editing on the Ambient occlusion map as it's very dark inside at the minute. Thanks guys Essex Mod Team 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freelancer Posted December 23, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2022 Merry Christmas Hello Everyone, it's that time of year again and the Holidays are just around the corner. We'd like to take this opportunity to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a happy new year! Well what a year it's been and a great journey we have been on since starting this project back in April, We're very happy with the progress we've made from not knowing anything about modding Em5 to where we are now, of course none of this would of been possible without our friends we've made within this amazing community such as the Bieberfelde and Ludenscheid Dev teams so once again a big thank you to these guys as none of this would of been possible without their help. We are really excited to carry on developing this project into the new year and will continue to push ourselves to build a very high quality product and of course the first UK mod for Em5 Here is a picture of our first asset we ever imported in the Emergency engine To what we have now Not to mention the collection of UK environmental assets that we've been buildings from houses,shops,uk road networks and more... It's great to see this project starting to take shape although still early days. We'd like to share a few new images with you today, one being the Skoda Octavia Scout RRV unfortunately I couldn't get the lightbar done in time for this picture and the Skoda still needs some tweaking. However we didn't want to post this Christmas post without new content to look at so here it is so far Fig has also been developing a new Ambulance station, although not much to share right now he did send us these pictures witch is the first small part of a larger station More to come on this in the new year So that is everything I wanted to cover in this post, the Essex mod team is winding down for the holiday season and will officially stop work today for at least 2 weeks. Once again we wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy New year Thanks Everyone Essex Mod Development Team 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freelancer Posted April 15, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2023 Hello all, It's time for another developer update from the team. First of all I need to inform you of some rather big changes witch have happened within the Essex mod as most of you will know we was planning to use Ludenscheid a base to build Essex mod upon but after much discussion within the team we have come to a conclusion that we feel the best course of action for the mod is to step away from Ludenscheid and switch to Wuppertal. This is mostly to allow our coders/scripters the freedom and creativity to produce their best work, it also means we can make our work open source allowing others to get into modding Emergency 5 and hopefully more UK mods. This is not a dig at Ludenscheid we greatly appreciate their work and was grateful that they gave us the opportunity in the first place and we wish them the best for the future Over the last month or so we've been switching our LDS build to Wuppertal and have managed to keep most of our work without to much set backs. With that said we can take a look at what else we have been working on our Coders KillerConsti and Lennard have been busy developing some new bits for us and we'd like to share some work in progress clips of them. First off we have a pull over/chase button where the player will be able to pull over a selected vehicle, we are currently looking on how best to expand this once the vehicles has been pulled over, we will have more on this as it develops Next is a new script that once a player has arrested a person you will need another policeman to search the individual before placing him in a car/van for transportation back to station. We have also added the same water logic system witch can be found in wuppertal/lds to our Dennis fire engine with animated lockers ( UK fireman personnel textures coming soon ) Because of the new scripts we have planned/ in progress we are looking for someone who would be able to assist us in making some 2D UI icons If this would suit your talents please contact me The Nissan Navara HART IRU witch we showed off a little while ago has received some more updates including the Whelen liberty lightbar witch was kindly donated to us from Em4 modder V, The back has also been kitted out with medical equipment and is ready for frontline service Lastly as you know we try our best to make this mod as high quality as possible and to be the best UK mod every for any emergency game, Because of this we felt our existing Scania model was not up to scratch especially with it making up the bulk of Essex's fire service. So Fishboe has been busy working on a new model witch is shaping up very nicely and is a big improvement on the existing model, again more on this as it develops Old Model: New Model Stay tuned for more Essex Mod Development Team 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So We've been back from our summer break for a month or so now and have got back into the swing of things and it is now time to share with you what we have been working on firstly we've been putting a lot more effort into map making and understanding on how best to construct our environment models, we have also re designed the way we create our roads, opting for road markings as alpha textures instead of directly on the road model texture. This will allow the user a lot more freedom should they want to build their own map, they can simply place a road down and then add the required road markings to it as desired. In these pictures you can see our new road models/alphas and new buildings of course. For those who follow us on our discord page you will know that the much anticipated update on our Scania is now ready to showcase, so after an unholy amount of work on this model we are now at a place where we are happy to show it off, due to the complex geometry of the cab and all the other bits that have been need to make up it's prefab we are proud to showcase it as our best piece of work to date and hope it won't disappoint you Scania lovers our there An Example of the scania can be found here for comparison, still a few tweaks to do https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ff2VGbM-qYA That is it from us today guys we hope you enjoyed the update, stay tuned for me Essex Mod Development Team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
