will gimp 2 work what

Thanks Xplorer for the info. Right now the map itself along with the stations is on hold until i can get my zmod all figured out. I have seem to lost all the info for registration and all that so i am hunting and looking everywhere. Thats what I get for getting a new computer. I am still working on other things in the mod so its not in a complete standstill. As always I will keep you guys in the loop as much as possible.

you can ask, but you might not get. you can not ask for release time/date. right now its going a little slow because the stations I wanted to use dont really fit the map so im reworking them. when I get some screens I will post them up.

there is a english manual that you can read. it really isnt that hard. its really fun when you start out and learn what is there to use. a lot of it doesnt need translation. its just pictures.

that looks awesome. great update and glad to see that there is more pushing forward. keep up the good work.

is there any support for 911 FR

its really simple. what ever changes you make to one vehicle in the station you make to all three scripts. so if you make the ambulance at fs2 a als you just need to go back and change the amb file at the top. for the ladder you can do the same unless you rename the vo's. then if you do just remember what you changed and do a find and replace. make sure everything is spelled the same and you go through the entire script.

lets try this: 1. purchase zmod2 2. learn zmod2 3. make model 4. add model to LA Mod 5. upload model and install instructions 6. fix any bugs the community finds repeat 3 thru 6

if you change the firestation script you need to change the firestationstart and tofirestation. these three scripts need to be adjusted for you to spawn, staff and return to station.

im not sure if you are aware but Mr Hoppah is no longer modding. so the answer is no.

please watch the language.

I dont know about the best but it will be here for people who like the original map.

@ Station27 I would love to have station 127 (station 51 for Emergency!). I have thought about it and have been looking at some possibilities for the station. It will not be in the first release but maybe on the second release. I was planning on keeping all the units in the mod so people can still play the base missions and the LA Mod missions. I have some ideas for missions strictly for the units/stations I have but I don’t want to take away from the original mod. Some of the base vehicles will be reskinned to be equipment from other resources outside of the map. I don’t think I will do a lot of them but some so if you need to call for backup you wont get a engine from 50 miles away. Also with the units, for the first release they will be as close as I can get them with what is in the LA Mod, but after that they will be as close to the real thing as possible. Squad 51 will go from a 4 door Ford to a standard 2 door for example. @ ChrisGA I never gave combining LAPD and LASD. I could look into that. I could also have them use the same parking lot just have different buildings on each side. That idea might actually make it into the mod. That is a really good idea.

Here is my reference for station 51, or one of many. http://www.lacountyfire.com/modules.php?name=Stations&stat=showStationdetail&stationNo=51 Right now it will be the HES untill I get zmod out and chop some stuff up. Zmod doesnt like my laptop and that is where I am currently modding from. My desktop started smooking yesterday so I need to start the search for a new one. The work still continues, nothing is effected.

or you could look here to help. its under camera hack

put it on megaupload or rapidshare, something like that.

ill see if I can find my files and upload them for you guys. ShaneGreen is busy with life and work so he hasn't really been on that much. He is going to finish but it wont be until after August because of work and life. Hope you all understand.

The vehicle count includes all vehicles at the station. As stated in my first post there is only going to be 13 fire units on the map to start with (that includes the one ambulance that station 60 has). I have some moding knowledge and I am going to use some of the fire stations provided by the base LA Mod and then I am going to use some others to fill in what I need. There will be no big fire station on the map. I also need to mention that at the hospital there will be 2 McCormick ambulances to support the LACoFD. McCormick has the contract in Battalion 1 (stations 8 and 51), I understand the concern for maybe there being too many fire vehicles on the map but if you look at having all the vehicles in the stations for the base LA Mod there are 13. If you add the 2 ambulances at the hospital there will only be 15, 13 at the stations and 2 at the hospital. With the station placing there is one in each corner of the map. There will be LAFD and LACoFD on each side of the map for balance. They each have their own services and I think it adds to the mod.

I think I have Locations for all four stations. The Stations will be resembled as close as possible, ie 3 bay, 4 bay. I think that will make for a good V1. When I Finish researching, skinning and reworking the freeplay map I will test and release. I plan on releasing a new version either after a department is worked out or there is a major change in the map. Future releases will have changes to the map itself, adding a LASD and CHP station as well as reworking the LAPD station. All will be in good taste and I think you all will like it. There will not be a big group of vehicles. There will be 3 to 5 fire truck per station, 5 chp cars, 3 lasd cars and probably 10 +/- LAPD. The LAPD will be a little bigger because of the SWAT team. I still dont know if I want to split the SWAT team up between the LAPD and LASD. I will see when I get there. As always suggestions are always thought about, but never dismissed. ie I wanted LACoFD station 110 and 51, but there was a ruling about station 8. So it be written it shall be. I am a man of my word. One more thing to think about is for the three PD stations do you want to have a separate control panel to spawn the distinct station personnel or just the LAPD?

I could do four stations. 2 from each side. That would be LAFD Stations 60 and 89 / LACoFD stations 8 and 51. How does that sound to everyone? There will not be old units, I will use the ones they have right now or get as close as possible. I think someone else is making a Emergency! mod for em4.

@Hex - The wrecks will all be looked at and made more realistic. I plan on going over a lot of that later on right before the first release, that’s not a hard fix.

if you look at the stations that i have chosen they are in the Hollywood area. i will research LACo station 33 and see what i can get. LACo station 33 is in Battalion 11, I dont mind the extra work but I think I will keep it around Battalion 1. So Ill ask about how many Co fire stations and which ones. The choises are station 7, station 8, station 38, station 51, station 58 and station 110. Also for the LAFD I would like to know how many stations and which ones. For the LAFD its a little easier, they are station 60, station 86 and station 89. once these are hashed out I will release the first version with the fire stations and maybe a little somthing extra.

Hello everyone. I am now announcing the beginning of a new submod for LA Mod 2.0.2. I am calling this submod LA Mod 2.0.2 Original Map Overhaul or OMO. I have worked out some of the things I wanted to accomplish and am now presenting the beginnings to you now. I have worked out the scripts for three (3) working fire stations. I still don’t know how I am going to staff them as of right now but this is just the beginning. I have also worked out the basics for a police station control panel that spawns police and swat officers so you don’t have to purchase them. I also am thinking about the idea of making the resources kind of limited so you don’t go crazy and have 40 cop cars and extra fire trucks running around (not that I think you guys do). The fire stations I want to use are the ones from Hollywood. I plan on using LAFD and LACoFD. I don’t know if I want 2 LA stations (60 and 89) and 1 LACo (51) or just make my own. I am also playing with the idea of realistic police units. I would like to have 3 police stations for the different types (LAPD, LASD and CHP). For the LAPD I would only use the Charger (B/W), Crown Vic (B/W) and the motorcycle as the primary units. For the LASD I would only use the Charger (B/W) and the Crown Vic (B/W) as the primary units. For the CHP I would use the Charger (B/W & W) and the Crown Vic (B/W & W) as the primary units. For the LAFD Its only Ambulance 860, Truck 60, Foam 60, Engine 89, Truck 89 and Engine 289. For the LACoFD Its only Engine 8, Engine 208, Quint 8 (Tiller), Squad 8, Engine 51, Squad 51 and Patrol 51. I would also have some reserve Vintage ambulances at the hospital that you could have pick up patients. There are also some plans for the map. I plan on adding some of the new things that you see on the new map. I know for a fact that I am adding the strip mall somewhere as well as change how the overall look of the map is. I might add or change the fire stations at any time, depends on how it all plays out. I am also looking for some suggestions for fire stations or ideas about anything. And on the ideas, I would like them as realistic as possible, to a extent. Nothing outlandish or crazy, that’s what I do. * Note * This post will be edited from time to time as the mod changes and gets to a kind of completion. There will be releases of this mod as it progresses. All releases will be stable and tested. #no testers are needed at this time# Screenshots

its going to freeze your screen, just give it time to load up. it could take up to 5 min, just go get something to drink or snack on.

i would go for the free skinning anything for a month
