itchboy Posted July 23, 2017 Report Share Posted July 23, 2017 One of the fire departments we're portraying just took ownership of this thing. The first question in my mind is, what is it? Question #2 would be, would people rather this or a conventional tanker? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firebuff319 Posted July 23, 2017 Report Share Posted July 23, 2017 Heavy duty tanker. Woodlands and sh*t. Uhh, I'd rather a regular tanker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rlizard Posted July 23, 2017 Report Share Posted July 23, 2017 Personally I think the HEMTT would be a better fit for the mod, It shows that the dept doesn't have a lot of money. Because a conventional tanker can cost anywhere between 100,000-500,000 depending on the specs. Also it would keep the rural like fire dept aspect as well, since this can go way off-road compared to a normal tanker. This plus a few brush trucks and a type 3 wild-land truck would make wildfires easy to contain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vojtula Posted July 23, 2017 Report Share Posted July 23, 2017 This looks kinda interesting I think both of them are former military trucks, I am not that fan of US vehicles, but I would like to see some realy like DIY or homemade truck for the volunteer FD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theocd Posted July 23, 2017 Report Share Posted July 23, 2017 Been a loooooooooooong time since I last logged on here but holy cow was I pleased to see updates in this topic. The Montana Mod is still one of my favourite mods for EM4, evidenced by the fact it is one of only a very few I still play any more [my EM4 consumption has steadily been dropping - but every time I get a hankering it's normally Montana or London Mods for me]. I've voted in the Poll, I prefer the RP-elements to the mod therefore a system in-built to allow that would be perfect. In reference to the question above, I'd much prefer a "traditional" FD tanker than some ex-military tank-tanker-thing. With regards call-outs, I have a huge soft spot for TEC-based calls, I always feel the fourth menu always gets left out therefore anything like towing, road/hydrant-repair, ice, fuel-spills or similar will always make me happy. With regards the EMS suggestion, I didn't see anything like 'notified-death', i.e. a Coroner call which then diversifies away from 'Ambulance-only' calls, if that makes sense...? Other than that, can't think of much else to say. Best of luck with it, will now be checking back at least semi-frequently to check updates on this!

I just want to input my suggestion to add on to his suggestion. How about that we can't call the coroner in with the callout menu but we have to use a police officer to call it in.

The callout menu is not going into Montana unfortunately. Having way too much trouble with it. As you saw in the gameplay videos, I had to trigger calls manually using the debug menu because the game wouldnt remain stable for long enough. I wll definitely do something with the coroners and TEC. They often get overlooked when it comes to mods. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itchboy Posted August 5, 2017 Report Share Posted August 5, 2017 Its been a long time coming. A lot of people have asked for water drafting in a mod. Ive decided to give it a shot. It is going into Montana mod to address the issues people have with fighting fires. The script itself simply assigns a dummy command to the vehicle. LWS will check that recognize it as a supply line into the vehicle. The pipe is hideously oversized so that it looks correct in Em4. I couldnt make it any shorter than it is, otherwise it break immersion because its clipping into the ground. Portable ponds are coming up next. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bama1234 Posted August 15, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2017 Hey everyone. As my personal life is getting busier and busier, I am handing over lead creative control of the mod over to Itchboy. This might not surprise you, since he's been the primary poster of updates. This is by no means a departure from the project; I will still be involved with development, and Itchboy and I stay in frequent communication. I will also still be creating other content for Em4 when time permits. Thank you all for your continued support! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcflame1 Posted August 23, 2017 Report Share Posted August 23, 2017 @itchboy I have a suggestion for this mod. Is it possible to have a chance of EMS requesting assistance at the scene of a call and enroute to the hospital for something like a feisty patient. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itchboy Posted August 24, 2017 Report Share Posted August 24, 2017 Another development I've been able to figure out. This is as far as I'm willing to take HAZMAT calls. The game wont allow much more complexity than this. The portable pond function is being worked on. I just have a few more things to finalize before its ready to present. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred03 Posted August 24, 2017 Report Share Posted August 24, 2017 Pretty neat. Is the "change into hazmat suit and do hazmat stuff" option going to be for all firefighters or just an off map team? I know a lot of rural areas don't have much hazmat capability themselves and rely on regional teams or military for EOD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just showing it off in the video for presentation's sake. Not all firefighters will have that ability, and they can only change at a particular vehicle. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercurygrandmarquis1 Posted September 1, 2017 Report Share Posted September 1, 2017 If were still talking about 90s Police vehicles a lot of small towns still have old caprices and crown vics in there fleet. Even on gov deals now there are about 10 1992-1997 Crown vics and 1 95 caprice waiting to be auctioned off. A lot of these cars tend to either been former police cars turned fire department cars or detective cars however it wouldn't be entirely out of the question.

itchboy Posted September 1, 2017 Report Share Posted September 1, 2017 On that topic, I've settled on a marked Chevy Cavalier for the 2 sedans, one marked Tahoe for the higher rank officer's vehicle, and then the unmarked is an early 2000's Ford Taurus. I'm interested in replacing the Cavalier and just doing Caprices for marked patrol units but most have been shifted elsewhere as you've seen. This has since been changed to a 97 CVPI and a Dodge Intrepid, as per the poll results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThatOneIowan Posted September 1, 2017 Report Share Posted September 1, 2017 Cavaliers lol. Very interesting. I would have thought older Luminas or Malibus would work a bit better but now that you've said Cavalier I am very curious... On a side note if you're picking up the Taurus from 3dcadbrowser hmu cause I've been wanting to convert that to GTA San Andreas lol the 98 that we have now just isn't cutting it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercurygrandmarquis1 Posted September 1, 2017 Report Share Posted September 1, 2017 I never heard of marked cavaliers being used. Generally GM police cars of that era were the impala or the lumina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itchboy Posted September 2, 2017 Report Share Posted September 2, 2017 Oh shit, my mistake. I meant to say Lumina not Cavalier. Not super famliar with that part of the GM product line, so I got the two mixed up. The Taurus I'm doing is probably an 03. The 98's look ugly, and I dont want to be staring at this for hours as I build up the model. Looks like a Dodge Neon rip-off. I'm still unsure whether to make it 2 Lumina marked units or one Caprice, one Lumina. 13 hours ago, Rlizard said: I can't wait to see that Tahoe, sounds good The Tahoe we're using is the model thats been in the LA mod for years now. Here it is in my LA mod. Ill take this model, shorten it, remove some parts and add an overhead lightbar to it. Should look good once its finished. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercurygrandmarquis1 Posted September 2, 2017 Report Share Posted September 2, 2017 Ok cool, And if it means anything I would suggest to do one lumina, one caprice. Lumina's weren't really great cars in general and were terrible police cars. My department bought luminas in 1998 last one I saw in front line service was 2000, Most were repainted dark blue got transferred to school safety shortly after they were deemed unfit for patrol they lasted another few years before they started blowing head gaskets before they hit 50k. Our caprices lasted up until 2007 when they started retiring them due to age.  That being said it would still be cool to see one in game. And good call on not doing the catfish taurus the next generation looked a lot better 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
