cheezy95 Posted October 29, 2011 Report Share Posted October 29, 2011 Not sure if this has been asked, but how are the fd engines and ambulances going to be staffed? With there be a serperate emt model or will there be just ffs in there turnout gear? If its a separate uniform will there be an option to change into turnout gear?

rettungstier Posted October 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2011 i haven't done any person skin yet, BUT the plan is to make a seperate ems model with paramedic skills, one ff model with paramedic skills and one ff with emt skills.the fire engines will be staffed with only emt ff's (BLS engine) or with only paramedic ff's (ALS engine)there will be only one type of ambulances in version 1.0, staffef with two paramedics.the beach patrol units will be equal to BLS emt's but will have "call random ambulance", "call random police unit" and "call random fire engine" commands. they will also be able to rescue people off the water.so you will probably have to call a beach patrol unit (maybe in later versions a special sheriff unit) to rescue people from drowning another feature that i've planned was a alarming/dispatch system like in Winterberg mod (much more simple though).a mixture between LA mod and Winterberg maybe so that you at least got a limited amount of units which are stationed on the map or will come from neighbour counties/cities. that's all for now more visual updates to come soon!greetzrettungstier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S'what I do anyway hahaI kind of do the same I think. I unpack the original *.dds file, convert it with dds-converter to *.bmp or *.png and open it in photoshop.Most of the time these original skins are have size of 128x128 or 256x256 pixels.Then I open a new file in photoshop with size 512x512 pixel, 72 dpi, and copy and paste the orignal skin (which of course is a quarter the size of the new file)Here comes the actual "trick" - I adjust the skin to the new size, scale it and save those changes. After Editing I save the bigger skin-image with the name of the original one, reconvert it to *.dds and ...done greetzrettungstier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've wasted so many hours trying things which nobody has done before but the system still won't 100% do what I want it to do. I figured out how to make one way streets someday but it wouldn't work always good enough to use it in any mod without people crying 'bout it greetz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
