I think you can just go into the 'fp_freeplay.script' and disable the initialization line for LWS.

The model itself is fine, but I would advise modelling it directly onto the vehicle instead of using the editor child objects.

I merged the posts as a courtesy. No penalties were applied to your account. Anyway, what types and brands of sirens are common among firefighter POV's?

It sounds close, but the yelp seems a bit slower. I think I'll just take the unknown sample as is. I appreciate the samples. I'll gladly put this in the mod as one of the sirens of the volunteer cars. I appreciate the answer, but once again, please dont double post. The PA500's you provided sound way different. I already have another one put in the mod though.

I was thinking a Federal Signal PA500, but no samples exist on the internet.

This topic has been inactive for three years. Do not bump dead topics.

I appreciate the support. Can anyone ID what siren this is? unkown siren.wav

Who knows. Our governments already have everything anyway. So, to avoid going off topic: If you're doing a texture only lightbar, it should go for under 500. An example I can give is the attached pic. The exterior portion and mounts go for 424 polies/517 verts. Unconventional shapes like the Valor bar will go higher just because you have to do more shaping on them.

They went on to some Russian 3D model site, to be specific. Okay, might not be Russian. Had a look at it again and it seems more Ukrainian than Russian.

You'd be surprised. A month or so ago, we caught someone trying to sell models that are owned by MikeyPI. There were a lot of German and British made Em4 models that were also being sold on this marketplace. We informed as many as we could, but its really up to them whether they would like to take legal action. I hoping people would have learned their lesson but it seems that people still dont care, 3 years down the road. Anyway, the model itself looks accurate. I'd advise cutting its polycount down by half. Such a simple lightbar shape wouldnt require 1000 polygons, or 3600 vertecies.

On this topic, consider doing real life lightbars that are common to Sweden, but haven't been done for Em4.

Ive merged the old account you had to this one.

Its because the prototypes you assigned to be created are incorrect. Make sure the listed prototypes correspond to the prototype names of your mod.

Because this mod topic was created before the 'modding concept' page was created. The rule is not retroactive to it only covers posts made after 2015. This topic is from way back in 2009 so it doesnt have to be moved. On the other hand, if you find something from 2015 and newer, let us know. Please avoid off topic discussion, keep it about the mod. If you have issues with the organization, use the site help section instead.

Please add credits in your post. Just list down the names of the people who made the model, texture and lights.

The Beiberfelde and Winterberg ones are actually more complicated than people think. They're a constant check script (not good for low end users) that relies on the other game commands for each call to be marked as 'passed'.

Not possible due to the differences between the Em4 and Em4Deluxe .exe files.

Monida Pass doesnt exist IRL. Its nothing but prairie and a highway. Here's a video of the portable pond functions. This should make firefighting easier in the mod.

It says 'authorized emergency vehicles' though. That part confuses me. I have no idea if that includes POV's or not. Another function we've decided to implement is a PA system for all siren equipped units. It includes multiple variants for both male and female units. The command is intended for perimeter and scene control. When you press it, all nearby peds will turn around and leave. Combine this with the 'halt' command on police officers, and you should be able to lock down an area easier than before.

Going by the rules, there is nothing that says they aren't allowed to post a private show-off thread. Everything checks out in here. There is a clear marker on the topic title, all of the content shown has credits, THVFD has been responsive to credit change requests, and people in here have been civil about their discussions. On the other hand, if anybody posts other people's content and then claim it to be their own, thats where moderators step in. I have not seen anything of that sort in here so we have no reason to take action against this post. You dont have to worry about offending anyone. There are no rules about offending anyone either.

I added it into the poll. Does anyone know if Montana volunteer FF POV's run sirens or not? Ive figured out they're allowed a non specified number of (only) red lights. There is no information on siren usage though.

As my tutorial says. Select each vertice and move them in such a way that the flat model turns into a proper side portion of the vehicle. Check this out. Its a good angle for seeing the flow of the body and how it moves along the length of the vehicle. Wheel arches stick out a bit and the fenders are flared because its a sports car. Make sure the side body narrows a bit as it goes higher up. Note how the side of the car is from this angle. Note that you do NOT have to follow the shape exactly 1/1. Just try to replicate it to the best of our ability. In Em4, only the most jarring features matter. Minor stuff like smooth curves arent really visible ingame.

Its supposed to be a 1/1 replacement of everything so I understand the inclusion of that vehicle, In reality, LAFD does not use aerials like that. The closest thing you will find is LA County's older Quints which are currently in reserve.

Realistically, the Caprice was only a 'demo' model. It never saw a day of duty. The Impalas are long gone from service according to my sources. I did manage to spot an unmarked Impala in an older video from OnSceneTV (or loudlabs, cant remember which one). Assuming this project is set in 2017, a lot of older stuff like the 06 Chargers would be replaced too. You'd also lose the MX7000 equipped police units.

Gonna make a poll out of that so that people can decide which setup they want. I'll be limiting suggestions to the vehicles mentioned in previous topics so that we're not making out of place combos like a 2017 truck but with a 1990 car, or a fleet of HEMI Chargers.
