Read the first topic. It's up to others to finish the map. There are enough experienced guys around here that can make the map work. I just don't want to waist my work.

Check the topic about the second edition map (first post)

Yes i have some news: I finished my paper, almost finished my study and I am getting the keys of my new home in 2 weeks . I am going to renovate my house for the next 6 months and when i am finished I will start my own business. So no more map modelling. Thats why you all have to check the first post of this topic.

Not for me So that issue is fixed Tonight? are you kidding? Was more thinking of this month

Yeah I have been away for while, but it was allways in mine mind. You know I had already spend over 100 hours in the map, thats not something that you trow away easily. But I have to spend time on my study, I am writing my scriptie (paper?) so that takes alot of time. So what I was thinking of tonight, is to release beta versions. This way everbody can test it and send feedback witch I can fix when I have the time. I will come back to that idea later First I need to contact Hoppah, hope that I can still send pm's to him...

Nope, no response from sixteen tons.. I still have one problem and that is that you will have to wait one ingame hour for the first events, ok it gives you time to setup your patrols, but it's weird. But after that hour you get all events as normal. Thnxs.

O and why won't there be coming a version 2?

Ok the map is working, in both deluxe and normal version Now I only need to finetune the map... there is only one small issue, I just bought a house (and it needs a lot of renovation work )

Just to let you guys know, I am working again on the map. I also contacted the developer of the game so see if I can get some support from them in debugging the new map. I had a version of the map working yesterday, but today the same version didn't work. So that is really weird, You should say if it works one day, and I changed nothing, then it should work also another time. Well lets hope that sixteen-tons is willing to respond.

Still at the same level as it was in jan this year. I had and have sevaral injuries, such as a dislocated wrist and at the moment a really painfull shoulder. And I am to busy at the moment to finish the map. So maybe later this year.. O and the forum looks nice, good job guys

thats all true, but there is still one problem. time

I am taking a brake for at least a week. I am to busy with school and I lost a really big part of the map. Somehow the file / map got damaged. The editor doesn't respond good to laying or editting paths and spawnpoint. Also when I play the map nothing happen anymore. Removing everything that I added the last couple of weeks doesn't work. So I was forced to get back to my last file of lamod 1.7 witch was at the beginning of january. This I really ........ because at this moment I don't have the time anymore that I had the last 3 / 4 weeks. So I let you guys know when I made some good progress.

Maybe if you post a screenshot we could help you better.. And after you start em4, do you load the lamod1.8? Because it really sounds like you don't have lamod installed or loaded.

Hmm I have a big problem.. The map doesn't work anymore and I have really no idea what is causing this major problem. The map worked fine last Monday. Teusday I added a lot of basic things to map such as stolencars, suicide drowings and some other stuff. But unfortunally after that the map don't work anymore. Normall it helps to remove everything that you have added and then you start over again. But not this time.. I went back to my last backup that I made the 12th but that one also doesn't work anymore. (O and the normal maps do work.. ) So well in a desperate attempt I reinstalled LAMOD without succes. And the weird thing is that normally if you at an faulty accident then you will only get events like fallen person etc. But no fires or other "big" things. This time nothing is going on in the map. So I am pretty f**** at the moment. I can't go back any further and I have no idea what to try next. The error logs don't give me any info and I already lost about 4 hours work. I really hate the debugging and logging system on em4 and I am really wondering how the developers worked with this. ............ to be continued ?............

Well you can set the size in the editor. And the underground of the editor is just that big. Besides that, the editor can't handle underground images that are bigger then a certain resolution.

The map can't be larger then any other freeplay map. The editor / game won't allow or even better is not capable to handle bigger maps.

Het is inderdaad de campain map, maar dan wel aardig verbouwd. Zo heb je nu hospital, firestation 1 en 2 en policestation tot je beschikking. Daarnaast zijn er een hoop nieuwe ongelukken gemaakt en verder nog wat andere kleine veranderingen.

Update 14 jan I added 3 more screenshots. The accidents counter is on 21 at the moment. I have one "big" issue at the moment and that is traffic management. I have to time the amount of cars and traffic lights correctly to prevent huge traffic jams. But I am almost there.. (I think)

Well at the camera angle that I took the screenshot it is really laggy, but I don't have any problems with the normal camera angke. -1 No -2 The top down screenshot will be released at the same time that first beta is released. -3 Yes, I placed more objects and more detaild in the maps, so it will be more resource intensive. (I don't even know how to change the models at the moment)

Second edition map Ok, I don't have, and I don't want to take, the time anymore to build the new map. I recently bought a house thats needs a lot of renovation work. I have also real plans for starting my own business, so I will never finish this map. But I don't want to waist 100's of hours work, there for I have desided that I will release the map as it is. All the paths are laid down, some accidents, peoples, cars, scenery, houses, trafficlights, animals, emergency stations name and it's allready done. So what is left? Well testing the map and fixing the bugs. Also the map need more accidents.

Several times I had an injured person in the building which I couldnt reach since i couldnt enter the building. I also, as stated above, was not able to extinguish fires at this building since the firers sparked inside and there was no way to access the inside of the building. ------------------------------------- Update, bug fix by Xplorer4x4 Download Ok I have taken the time to package up the bug fix files, courtesy of w00ds, and a fixed version of the LAFirestationStart.script containing the fix for the backwards apertures at Fire Station 1. I also took the time to make copies of the .dds and .e4m files so that it contains a freeplay.dds and freeplay.e4m and dfreeplay.dds and dfreeplay.e4m eliminating the need to rename the files or having to load it as the standard version map for those of us with EM4 Deluxe. Link will be added to post when it is done uploading. ------------------------------------- Orginal files, by w00d You can download the files here F.A.Q. How do I install the map? The same way as you installed the first new freeplay map 1. Download and unpack the dfreeplayr.zip file. (30mb's! large) 2. Move the folder 3 files' to your Emergency 4Mod\Los Angeles Mod v1.x\maps folder. 3. This is a universal file, so it's for both versions and won't replace any file. 4. Make sure all older files will be overwritten (otherwise you did something wrong). You should have replaced this 2 files: dfreeplay.e4m dfreeplay.dds And also added the .eft file. Some info As already announced in my topic of the first new freeplay map am I working on a second edition. As I am closing in on the first beta release of this map I thought that it would be nice to keep you guys updated. The first release of the map will be compatible with the normal and 911:FR version of EM4. So there won't be any deluxe events in the first place. That doesn't mean that you can't play the map if you have the deluxe version. Later if all the bugs are out of the map and if I still have the time I will maybe add the deluxe events. Do's and don't in this topic - Don't ask howto make or modify things. The maps is released as it is. So just except it. News 16-08-09: With the help of Souljaboy, Xplorer4x4 and GB619 are some of the bugs fixed. 14-01-09: Getting closer and closer to the first beta release. Problems at the moment: traffic management. Screens (plz ignore the striping in the first screenshot. Still searching for the best solution)

Simple answer: no. I can only say that it is a lot of work to make a brand new map. I spend around the 100 hour at the moment...

The map doesn't have any influence on the available vehicles. The map only provides the spawn points for the vehicles.

Just had a major breakthrough: the first accident happend in the new freeplay map. Having an accident means that there are no error anymore in the map

NextGen feature update A few days or weeks or whatever ago somebody posted somewhere in this forum the question if it possible to make higher buildings. Well it's . As you can see in the pics below, the fire engines and the ladder are able to get to the top part, the fireman only to the second part of the building. So that good news. But offcourse there is also 1 disadvantages, but not a big one.. Choppers will fly trough the building and not over it, but that's the only problem! (That I have found) the fire that started here on the top floor was not an automated event, but a manually set fire in the editor. The building is able to burn, just like any other building, but I don't have any control in it.

The event is called broken hydrant
