  1. I do understand that some ambulances do patrol, but you need to remember, we are running FDNY ambulances in this mod, wehich are barely ever out if not on a call. The standby feature was vetoed becuase realisitcally, it doesn't serve much purpose. If the unit is at the staiton, or parked on the side of the road, it will still get called out to the scene if needed. All standby would do would be cancel any movement, shutoff lights and play a sound file. If it is really that important to gameplay to a vast majority of the users, we will look at it, but right now we have more pressing issues than adding a pointless command, to make the gameplay a little more complex. I personally didn't like it too much, because if I forgot to activate the standby when I parked a unit, but dispatched for it anyways, it wouldn't leave, as it was marked busy. As for patrolling, we aren't touching anything to do with patrolling on this current map. I'm in the process of finishing the first stages of the new map, in which a highway-like area will be included, as well as several other things that will make this game much more challenging, as well as interesting. We will be doing patrol areas that are unit specific, IE, highway units will patrol the highway area, traffic units will hang around manhatten a lot, or do sparse patrols on the other borough sample, and things like that, since it's unrealistic to see a regular RMP being followed 2 minutes later on regular patrol by a HWY RMP when you look out your window. And some people have asked about making the ESU REP patrol, I will make an area on the map for that to be patrolling, so you needn't worry.
  2. New York Accents Needed! Re-Record the game's European voices with people who have New York accents. The accent is very unique. Already in progressThe NYPD Toyota Prius would be nice. I think this is from after the cutoff point of 2008ish Patrol function for ambulances. Discussed and vetoed because no ambulance in New York Patrols.There's a bug: sometimes when you hit Radio Deployment on a firetruck, not all of the firemen mount their hoses to the truck. That's a game problem not one of ours, the only way we could work around it is to delay the exit so that one or two get out at a time. Too many people try to hook up to the one spot and someone quits after getting stuckA new map with skyscrapers (which I know you guys are working on). Impossible. Skyscrapers means horrid camera action and no helicopters at all
  3. No. We put in a cutoff point for all units. If we placed it as current day, we'd never be able to keep up with all the cars and trucks that change. Therefore we put in a cutoff point
  4. They do exist, seldomly but they are scattered around some boroughs.. Those are meant to send an NYPD unit to the area and get you in contact with a 911 operator for assistnace. In our game it wouldn't work well mainly due to the fact, civilians can;t be programmed ot do that, and we wouldn't use a call box to call for backup... That's why emergency officers ahve radios
  5. Thing is with real life cities, they can send orders demanding you take off logos, areas, and the like, since they all are copyrighted.. I've seen people make models for mods for games, like GTA and Need For Speed from places like the OPP to NYPD get orders from the departments to cease and desist, as the logos are copyrighted and may not be reproduced without express written consent. Fictional cities allow three great uppers.. You can be creative with layout, and not need to be down on detail, you can include all sorts of emergency services and units to fit the needs of your game, and you don't need ot worry about letters from the city that are pissed off
  6. two things with the NYPD fusion, the blue lights should be red, and the UV needs to be tweaked on the police part, otherwise, she looks good
  7. Well, what would you add to make it less empty?
  8. If you do actually follow through with this, I'll offer my advice along the way, I've worked with developing a few games before, so I know my stuff, but make sure you know when you set out how much work it is, not that I'm doubting you, but it isn't an easy task, as there is a LOT of work to put to this. Oh and to answer the signature Paper is a tenth of a millimeter on average. Will Jobs try to get a phone smaller? Yes, will it do much? No, but it will look cooler than every other phone out there.. Can't do much, but it can fit in a letter envelope and get send with standard postage Neat party trick (youtube macbook air parody ad)
  9. How many volunteers as a percentage of the total number of firefighters in NY? FDNY is a fully paid department. No volley FFs How many engines respond when reporting a fire? 2? 3? Or in each individual case dispatcher decides individually? Depending on the type of fire depends on what goes, also you need to remember what is nearby... If it's a car fire and the rescue station is down the street, then the loadout will be different than if it was in times square How much time is given for leaving firefighters from the firehouse after the alarm? About a minute to a minute 20, the standard time for firefighters across the US
  10. "I did not have sexual relations with that woman" Sound familiar? Presidents, just like every other person on this planet lie. Politicians, especially the highest ones are known for lying. Until I see proof, I'm still going to be skeptical.
  11. I'll wait for the official story to come out with exactly how they did it... Seems a little weird to me.. Anwyho, the white house link for y'all http://www.whitehouse.gov/live/president-obama-delivers-statement
  12. Your problems are related to A. Unit type, you changed that, and B. You seem to have either deleted the command, or changed the prototype all together.. What exactly did you do? I mean step by step, click by click
  13. And have you updated it to the most recent patch?
  14. Tis the link if you downloaded before the timestamp
  15. The second one sounds like it is the tenth mission, missing childs, in which the suspects beat the parents and kid nap the children. You've gotta get the one hostage kid from three guys, one is hidden in camo in the bushes with an assualt rifle, the other kid is trapped under some sorta object somewhere on the map
  16. It appears you're having trouble with the chase command itself... Probably a script compatibility issue of some sort.
  17. Helo is in the patch. Coast guard I have never seen armed in New York, let alone acting as paramedics. Like Mike said, they don't really like concrete, which NY has a lot of
  18. And it seems I made an account to keep the peace... And look it's this one. How about we just drop it before it becomes an issue. We can all point fingers, but here's the thing, every time you point a finger at someone else, you've got three moderators after you. Or is it fingers points back at you? Ehh, who cares. Let's just all play nicely with eachother, and no one will end up in trouble. Okay? Okay
  19. Since the USCG does not have a station on Manhatten, or the surrounding area, we won't either. Now, as for the script for deleting buildings, we can, if you click a button and it creates that. Thing is, unlike missions, freeplay starts a script at the beginning and then that's it. We can't chagne anything after that. Tis why the german NY Mod is taking so long, they are doing their freeplay as an emulation in a mission script, so they can create things like Tillers with trailers that have physics, and nwe events. We sadly can only do that as a mission and not in freeplay. Sorry guys
  20. And now you've awaken Boss Cat. Hide your families children. Since he said no more suggestions, let's all play nice and give no more suggestions.. I know if people start telling me that I should put thingsin the SJM which isn't past V1 yet, and they say to put it in V2, I will personally beat them silly. Lets not pester whoever the author of this mod is and leave him be for now
  21. This happens because I do not think we put patrol paths on the MP map. Therefore it tries to do something it can't. The game then crashes and all other participants get the boot, since it is missing the host
  22. You need to adjust the commands in the editor, in that vehicle, under commands
  23. In regards to the map, and easter eggs, I'll explain right where I'm too, which is still making the floor texture (it's huge) We haven't even started easter eggs... Now as for the building collapse, it won't work. It would require adding a new event to the freeplay ,wwhich I just odn't see happening for us sadly
  24. Good news about that is that the new mod will have lots of fun tasks for you guys, such as suicides in areas that you have to send boats to for a while, then dock back on the other side of the island, lots of other fun things included as well. Mikey and Yours truly will be making sure that this is not something easy for you guys, like a suicide right next to a docking point, or a single car accident in the middle of no where, so you don't need to worry about traffic. This is meant to get as interesting as possible. Also, I personally let the suicide guys finish themselves off, see what happens to their bodies.. I figure if you're gonna die, do it in style, after all, I'm aiming for re-election, and I don't want someone pissed off I stopped them from doing their biggest life changing actions ever
