If you've played the Copanhagen mod 1.1, you'd see. Its the most awesomesauce thing to come out of EMP and few are aware of it. Its basically bma's brand new set of callouts that replace the original freeplay events. The possiblities are endless, but is a pain to script and requires massive map edits. RCMP has implemented his script and taken it one step further by combining it with mission script capabilities.

You theoretically could have him bring his custom callout script to your mod. That would be so epic.

Where do the aircon and vents go?

Looks cool but serves no purpose to the game unfortunately. The HAZMAT also already has floodlight animations and it is a complete pain in the ass having 4 different animations for the flooodlight and the awning. I've reworked the model because of the part thats cutout from the rear of the HAZMAT. Anyone have top view pics of the HAZMAT? I need info on whats in the roof part of the rear portion.

The model used by LA mod is quite different than that. I'll still add the ladder anyway. Retractable awing? Whats this? Yes but that is off limits to the public. MikeyPI does not allow usage in other mods.

Wanted to go for some variety between the Hazmat and USAR trucks. Both trucks still WIP. Animations for the floodlight are planned.

Ambulance 39 is not part of my vehicles. Not my problem. As I said many many times befrore you need to edit your LA mod to get my vehicles to work. I won't tell you how. There are so many tutorials on this site that teach you how to edit. Find them and start working. USAR WIP

Messaged you. I'm afraid my pack isn't gonna make it into Episode 101. The pack isn't even done yet. It can't be played ingame unfortuanely. Maybe a mentioning and showing of pics would be possible. Adding a 5th engine is something I can do. Here's a pic of every engine created so far.

That would be it. Probably has something to do with the fact that NYC Mod vehicles have no driver's side 'special door' which spawns the officer on the left side of the vehicle. When the suspect shoots, the officers end up shooting their own car instead. Montana mod had this issue, so I corrected it with a little piece of code. Figure it out guys. Everybody, please don't PM Hoppah.

You would have to give the locker a firehose in the editor. Look at EM4's Oil Rig Mission. The player can take fire hoses from the red boxes on the walls oil rig. Throwing this out as a hint for anyone having difficulty with the mission. Looking at the code, it appears that the getFirehose commands allows for the person caller to get equipment from vehicles and objects. For whatever equipment script you have, you need to set the possible target as vehicle and object.

I think the game is hardcoded to target specific places on a vehicle. You can theoretically change it this way though using a script: Declare person as caller, vehicle as target Person moves to vehicle, target on vehicle could be any of the following TARGET_ANY, TARGET_EQUIPMENTDOOR, TARGET_SHEARSDOOR, TARGET_PASSENGERDOOR, TARGET_REARDOOR, TARGET_FIREHOSE_HOOKUP, TARGET_ENGINE, TARGET_EXTINGUISH, TARGET_ENGINE_EXTINGUISH, TARGET_DLK_BASKET, TARGET_LOADUP, TARGET_DLK_BASKET_BASE, TARGET_TREATMENT, TARGET_UNLOAD, TARGET_ENTRY_WINDOW, TARGET_INSTALL_FGRB, TARGET_DLK_EXTINGUISH, TARGET_FREE_CONNECTOR, TARGET_RANDOM, Person does whatever thing you want him to do. Enter car, or get a certain equipment. You can make custom equipment by looking at the code for the LA Mod ballistic shield, traffic cones and flares.

So this is the metal 'roof' placed above the hoses? A screenshot would help me understand. Its alright. I was confused too when you mentioned the Seagrave. Haven't touched the model since February.

What are crosslays? The divider between the yellow and white hoses?

He has the unreleased beta version.

Thanks Alex. Congrats on the 100th. I wish we could've finished the RCMP mod in time for it. Maybe my vehicles could make it into the next 100 videos. Both engines done.

Thanks. I'm very excited to see what you can come up with. Its gonna be aweome. I know it.

None of the pics you gave were of this specific unit. I chose not to do the Ram because its an older model which no one has put ingame or modelled in this community. This specific unit looks like its still in a shop. It isn't even done yet lol. Why did I even consider making it now.

Yes, the new KME, Seagrave + old Pierce engines, and possibly the older Seagrave engine. It could be 4 or 5. This doens't include the USAR or Hazmat, which would bring the counter to 6 or 7. ...and to think I just made a Brush Truck ...they make a new one and I'm gonna have to make this one too.

Pierce Arrow XT and Pierce Rainbow Dash USAR up next. Both models need their base skins done. Teaser pics:

Reworked Pierce Arrow XT model. Original by MikeyPI/Hoppah. The next vehicles to be reworked are the original FD vehicles. This is gonna be the LAFD Engine 1. Engine 2 and USAR coming up next. Would be cool if MikesPhotos were still around and could assist me with making these units as accurate as they could be.

To expand on this: In context to #3: Not skilled enough to develop full mod, which is why they only take content from other mods (*ehem* LA *ehem* Mayberry) and do reskins on the vehicles. This is what has killed EM4 modding. Its gone full circle. EM4 modding started with reskins, went to bigger mods, peaked with LA mod, ERS Berlin, RTS mod, and now we are back to reskins. There are a few outliers such as myself, but the only person who burst onto the modding scene like I did is me. It bothers me that people like #1 and #2 are the ones calling for people to make mods for EM5.

Hoppah and most of the pro modders have said it before that they are too busy these days to make something as big as the LA Mod was at the time. EM5 itself hasn't proven to be the most friendly or easy to use thing ever, and it will take time for the EMP modders to catch up. The Germans probably will make an epic mod to kickstart EM5 modding, just as they did with the Winterberg mod back in 2006. This is exactly what happened 10 years ago when EM4 modding began. Germans started some things and only by 2006 -2007 did the EM4 LA Mod become as good as it is. I am tired of people wishing "Hoppah will make LA Mod for EM5". No, he said he won't. It would have to be someone else with the time and patience to get into EM5 modding, and most of the pros have no more time to do that. Combined with the fact that EM5 did not live up to the hype and presented itself in a less than desired way, people who know modding well know that EM5 as of right now is not worth the time and effort to build stuff into it. Also, because the game has very limited appeal and only fans of the old games would be interested in it, the pool of talent is quite limited and outsiders who otherwise would have the time and skills for modding the game would be turned off by the overall package of EM5.

Probably not. We already decided that the MPFD had enough vehicles. And programming in more volunteers is a pain in the ass. Little to no work has been done on the mod since the update, we're just a bit busy with life and stuff. The mod is still alive though.

This and despite the dozen gamekilling bugs we left in it because we're so busy with our real lives.

Me and bama made the decision to make the units freeplay only so that there would be something special in the freeplay mode. And besides, the missions do not support the volunteer FF script.
