Guest MonkeySquasher Posted May 14, 2009 Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 Yes, I know this is off-topic. I put it here mainly because this is the most heavily trafficked part of the forums, and I know the people with the answers frequent here. After I get the answers, I'll probably delete the topic.I couldn't find answers to these using the search engine, or atleast answers that satisfied me. hahaI know Hoppah once posted a link for a site on EM4/FR911 scripting, but it was in German. Any chance there's an English version of that around? I realize that I can just use a translator, except I can't write scripts in German, since I won't understand what I'm writing. And even then, if I screw it up with the translator, it'll just make me script wrong.Also, I found a post taking about a "script generator"... Does that exist? Where would I find it? Is there a C++ script generator around that will work on it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest [SAP]Francis Posted May 14, 2009 Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 A generator? Nah, this can't exist. Any script is 100% made by the person with the idea, there is no way you can tell a program to script that, and then do this, etc. It's not created yet and will never be created as a computer will never have humans' judgement.To answer to your question, no there is no "English guide". However, somebody might create one someday.Of course there is English guides about the C++ syntax, but nothing related to Emergency itself.

Xplorer4x4 Posted May 15, 2009 Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 Actually there is a script generator but its in german(i think) so it wouldnt be of much use to you. I dont personally see how such a thing can exist but it does.From what I have seen on the script wiki the code is in english just not the descriptions so a translator should be fine.

Cybexx Posted May 15, 2009 Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 Actually there is a script generator but its in german(i think)Thats true that it is german, it made me crazy since i cant german >< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xplorer4x4 Posted May 15, 2009 Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 Yeah I didnt even bother with it, but i doubt it can do anything super impressive. For example i doubt it would be able to make a script like hoopahs for the heavy rescue crane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newfoundking Posted May 15, 2009 Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 IT can do basic things, but there is no way a generator for free will be able to produce big scripts that haven't been done before like the fire station and all that good stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MonkeySquasher Posted May 15, 2009 Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 Hrm. Thanks guys. Anyone have the website for the german script wiki? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoppah Posted May 15, 2009 Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 It's this website http://www.emergency-wiki.de/index.php/Kategorie:ScriptsAnd it's not available in English. You're lucky the codes itself are in English and selfexplaining for the biggest part.The hardest part is learning how to use them and that site doesn't teach you that. If you need help with something just post it. Hoppah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newfoundking Posted May 15, 2009 Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 Um, how powerful is the script generator? Like what can it do? I know it isn't super powered, but how good is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoppah Posted May 15, 2009 Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 From what I know it can make mission scripts with simple objectives. I never used it. It's useless if you want to make a cool cutscenes and more advanced things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest RescueMe Posted May 15, 2009 Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 I have only one question, I'll use your topic because I think that my question is about scripting /somewhere/.

Ami89E1234 Posted May 15, 2009 Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 i have the EM4 script generator, and, like Hoppah said, it isnt very powerful. im fluent in German but man that thing confuses the hell outta me. just make the scripts yourself if you really want ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MonkeySquasher Posted May 15, 2009 Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 So, scripting basically requires lots of time and notepad.What do I need for making models of cars and buildings?And what do I need for making maps.. *shifty eyes* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jab16 Posted May 15, 2009 Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 well most people i have talked too prefer to use zmodler2 to make cars and buildings as for maps you should use photoshop with a cearton plugin which can be found in the download section along with a link to zmodler2 website i beleve.

Newfoundking Posted May 15, 2009 Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 models are done with a modeling program like Zmod, and maps are done with photoshop and other things like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MonkeySquasher Posted May 16, 2009 Report Share Posted May 16, 2009 so basically.. use photoshop to make the map, use zmod to make the buildings, place buildings on map like object. gotcha.also, I finally found the tutorials, so I'm browsing through them. haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xplorer4x4 Posted May 16, 2009 Report Share Posted May 16, 2009 So, scripting basically requires lots of time and notepad.Notepad2 is my personal preference, and its free.well most people i have talked too prefer to use zmodler2 to make cars and buildings as for maps you should use photoshop with a cearton plugin which can be found in the download section along with a link to zmodler2 website i beleve.Photoshop has the plug in already I believe. Atleast PS7 did.so basically.. use photoshop to make the map, use zmod to make the buildings, place buildings on map like object. gotcha.also, I finally found the tutorials, so I'm browsing through them. hahaNo buildings are placed using the game editor which came with the game.

Guest MonkeySquasher Posted May 16, 2009 Report Share Posted May 16, 2009 I watched tyman's video on map floor making, and he uses photos from google map. With PS, can I still just make my own grass areas/sidewalks/streets/etc without copy pasting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newfoundking Posted May 16, 2009 Report Share Posted May 16, 2009 Oh yeah, you can make it completely from scratch if you want Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoppah Posted May 17, 2009 Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 Yes, if you're really experienced with Photoshop you can make your own textures. However, I suggest you use the map textures from our download database to make a new map and that involves alot of copy/paste work.Zmodeler2 is preferred by most people for a couple of reasons:- It's cheap- It's easy- It's the only program with a .V3O plugin- No need for expensive software for low-polygon models Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
