Fire plane, turning off timer

Recommended Posts

Well any help???

This is purely a gamble, but try the following (back up the files first, I have no idea if it will work!).

Go to: Emergency 4\Data\Units\Vehicles\Fire Department\100LF and open the unit;s.xml file with notepad. Remove the line

<sendmode value="2" />

Save the file and exit.

Next go to this folder: Emergency 4\Data\Specs\ and open vehicles.xml with notepad. Search for the fireplane ("ID_NAME_LF") and remove this line of text:

sendbuttons="2">

Save the file and see if it works.

Let me know if it worked.

It's possible. If you've used version 1.7 of the LA mod for EM4 or The Notrof California mod you'd know.

For EM3 I found this in one of the files of the Notruf California MOD:

<vehicle name="Fire Fighting Plane" prototype="mod:Prototypes/Vehicles/Fire Department/lf_body.e3p" space="0" loadspace="0" requires="1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 14 15 16 17 18 20 21" speed="160" price="0" nodisplay="1">

As you can see behind the fire fighting plane the code nodisplay="1" is added. Maybe that means not displaying the '3 minutes wait time'.

It's just a guess. But again, only one way to find out.

If I met you I'd give you a hug. No homo or anything you're always so helpful. If my paypal worked I may be able to get you a beer. lolz

So I take it, it worked? Haven't had time to try it myself, so just curious :hallo:

And if you can't get your paypal to work you can always mail me a sixpack :cheers:

No, sorry. What I need is version 1.7 of the L.A. mod again.

I found a workaround in this topic. If you change the unit ID the games timer doesn't work anymore. For example changing <unit id="LF"> into <unit id="FP">. Then the timer shouldn't be active anymore and you can send as many planes as you want.

Now I also know waht the no display in the EM3 file meant: he made two prototype planes. One with the correct unit ID and one with an alternate unit ID. He hid the one with the correct unit ID by adding the nodisplay code. So it would have looked as if there only was one fire fighting plane without timer.
