To extract the files you need WinRar which is a free program used for packing files. Use this to extract the files and then place the Harbor City folder in your Mods folder in either emergency 4 or 911 First Responders. It is possible to add the patrol function to units but this will not be done (at the current time) as this mod is designed for multiplayer, and patrolling units prevent other vehicles from passing which is an issue in multiplayer games. The command will work just fine for all fire ems and police units. If you need a vehicle with swat officers and lots of transportation space use the "riot vehicle" which is a edited ATF vehicle with 9 spots for criminals and 4 Swat officers. Also if there is a guy in the riots with a sign he should be the main priority, make sure you also block off other pedestrians from getting into the riot area or they may become involved too.

The patrol city command was removed for multiplayer reasons. a unit that is patrolling won't yield to units that are driving code 3 - this wound up being an issue so it was removed to prevent it.

I have thought about doing that, and if I could figure out a way to do that (I'm not very good at scripting lol, just kinda BS my way through it ) then I would. but frankly I'm not smart enough to do that, at least not without help or someone holding my hand haha

For some reason this mod crashes the game straight to desktop, I'm not sure why it does or how to fix it. Also for some reason the units that are to park at station 2 have some serious issues. I have check the parking script over and over, I have tried moving the station across the street, I've looked at the path finding, the streets, obstacles, virtual objects, and none of it is giving me a reason why this is happening. As for the deployment of units - this map is designed for multiplayer so having pre-deployed units isn't really an option because all the units would be assigned to Player 1 upon the game starting. Thanks for the compliments and feed back. All of these issues have been discovered already and I've been trying to work on a fix for the next version. Enjoy the mod and let me know if there are any other issues.

Feel free to edit the mod for your personal use. If you wish to change the call volumes then you can change the fp_params_endless.xml

All stretcher teams do return to their ambulances - there is a wait time to simulate transfer of care and what not. So no Dive, it's not a 'problem'

Duh, Read the title blackout

I'll be putting up some pictures of PD units after 3.4 is released

... if i can figure out how to download it....

Nice! This will likely be going in the harbor city mod unless that's a problem...

Thanks! Have you tested this with multiplayer?

3.3.2 known issues that will be fixed in 3.4: - Jumper calls cause the game to crash in multiplayer sessions - Few vehicles and personnel have "ID_TOOLTIP" for a name

Well the patrol function in LA mod make patrol cars and ambulances behave that way, but as soon as you move them they go back to normal As for the spawning - it's for a multiplayer game, i just need to know how to create a new 'task force vehicle type' and i can to the rest from there

Okay I have searched all over the forums for an answer to a few questions and I still can't find what I am looking for 1) I have a "Code 2 script" in place in Harbor City mod, that will make units drive traffic speeds when their lights are off, but they will still pass civilian cars and run red lights... Does anyone know of the command that you use to tell the vehicle to behave like a civilian car at red lights and such? 2) Does anyone know who to make your own 'task force group' .. I am trying to make my own so I can have each unit spawn in their bay when you deploy them Thanks for your help! (if you help )

Sweet - thanks guys. i donno why i've been messing around with DDS conversion anyways when i could use png or jpg and not have to convert it. Yaaaaay!

Nice video kicks! Makes me wanna go play a game haha. I have tried to fix the alpha reflections but unchecking the box on the ladders. When i do that the ladder bucket disappears and I can't seem to edit it separately. If there is some trick to this I haven't found it. (Dive the alpha reflections are only visible on medium and high setting) Another alternative a lot of members are in favor of is getting a new ladder truck but we don't have any modelers in the clan so we're stuck with what we have.
