Hoppah

First one is ok. MikeyPI used to call me Hooperpooper.

No, why should I do that?

The original mission scripts are way too advanced for beginners. There are a few examples out there with only one simple missionobjective like "Extinguish all fires". That's how I started. People who played the missions from the Los Angeles Mod for Emergency 3 (that was almost 5 years ago) will find out that the first few missions have really simple objectives. No script based scenes, cutscenes, triggers or custom objectives. I started messing around with the scripts and codes later. This page has all the codes you are going to need, but it doesn't explain how to use them. You first need to understand what scripting actually involves, everything needs to make sense, 1 missing or wrong symbol and you can crash your game. It's basically trial and error, it's impossible to write a perfect working script at once. I also had someone (whose name I am not going to mention) from the German forum who I could ask questions. He checked my scripts and sometimes helped me with small things, but never made a full script for me. I learned 99% myself and that's also why I will never be that advanced at scripting. For example, the scripts in the Winterbug mod don't make much sense to me (yet), but I don't give a sh*t about that, because I love being independent. Patience is the most important thing. You WILL NOT be able to write extensive scripts in the beginning. I am not going to write difficult scripts for anyone here, but I do have some time to check scripts for errors and help with solutions. Just like the German guy did for me until 3 years ago. The problem is that nobody takes the f*cking time to do what I did: Start with simple things. The same thing actually counts for 3D-modelling. People expect they can build a f*cking high polygon truck after 2 days, but they don't come any further than a cube on wheels. And then they already quit, because they are not satisfied about their work. Patience and persistence are the keys. Good luck Hoppah

Here you go. Same installation instructions as in my previous post, so you only have to replace the older script file. Hoppah LAMP5.zip

I started with missionscripts. Missionscripts are easier to understand and can be really simple or very very complicated.

I am a student. A good job is not important yet. At least I have a job.

Some stupid side job in a grocery store.

It's simple, mine are: - Be less on the forum - Do even better in school - Intensify sport/training exercises - Quit my job (and find a new more interesting one)

A patch takes too much time to create, as well as rereleasing the whole submod. I fixed the following two script errors and released the fixed files: - SWAT SUV has no siren - Patrol command script crash How to install? 1. Download and extract the package. 2. Move the two files to the following folder and overwrite the old files: \Los Angeles Mod v2.0\Scripts\Game\Command\ 3. Done Hoppah Command.zip

a test

Go to the \Los Angeles Mod v2.0\Units\ folder and continue in the sub folders until you have found a unit you want to edit. Each vehicle and person has a unit.xml file. Open one of them! You will find something like this for example: <missions value="10 15 17 18"> Replace that with: <missions value="1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35"> Do that for ALL unit.xml files which can be found in the sub folders of the Units folder. Make sure to not edit unit.xml files which are already disabled (no mission values at all), because these are the original Emergency 4 vehicles. Some missions might not have entry/exit points for aerial and water vehicles, so boats and helicopter might NOT arrive in some missions. You also need to edit transaid.xml in the \Los Angeles Mod v2.0\Specs\ folder for the TransAid missions. Good luck, Hopman

Don't load the mod, just move the files you want to unpack to your EM4/Data folder.

No more like this:

I didn't know there is a leader during that event.

You know what is funny? All German mod teams who are doing a US mod have chosen for NYC as the setting. Is that the only US city they know about? I'm not trying to be offensive or something, but it is kinda remarkable and ironic. There are already one or two big NYC mods in progress, so why not a different place? There are a million choices.

You're all a bunch of :loser:s

A flashbang would be useful. Other ways usually result in (a lot of) injured persons,

"Annoy Hoppah with suggestions here"

be less on the forum for me.

No, I thought it was going to be a free game.

Well, maybe 2. There is another small thing which has no connection to this forum, its users, the game or the LA mod though. Just something funny and that one has never been reported either. I will reveal a hint for that one, because a change to the camera settings is required to find it: The other unfound big easter egg has a connection to me when you find it. I might reveal hints for that one later.
