As mentioned, somtetimes there are vehicles stuck on the tracks as the lights go on. 7 hours ago, Squad 65 said: http://www.emergency-planet.com/uploads/monthly_2019_08/image.thumb.png.74d4079767130fe47f70609eac34def8.png This is the only issue I saw watching the video. When the car was stopped on the tracks the train did nothing to it. There's no way for me to prevent vehicles and persons from wandering onto the tracks. The remedy for that is to disable collisions on trains so that they dont injure people or explode any vehicles. 1 hour ago, mrpoliceemsfirel said: I know on the old download file there is a bug report submission, does the development team still review bugs on the old Montana modification that has since been removed? We do, because we want to be sure no bugs from the last version remain. However, that does not mean we will release patches for the old version. We're going all in with v.2.5.

itchboy Posted August 10, 2019 Report Share Posted August 10, 2019 It would be super useful to me if I had consistent numbers on how much playtime you have before the game crashes, or the textures begin getting corrupted which preceeds a crash. I'd also be happy if you are able to find out by how much the selection lag worsens over time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got it, I'm a professional tester, I got a few crashes, I just played 40 minutes and didn't experience any lag mainly because I had my render low. A few bugs here and there which will be logged.

I will be implementing one derailment, and one crossing accident into the mod. I just need some time to figure out how to do that while also maintaining functionality with the moving trains. Maybe it would be nice if some unit had the power to communicate and stop que trains for the needed time to solve the derailment/accident! Really nice script btw!

A big Virtual Object over the tracks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joker15x Posted August 10, 2019 Report Share Posted August 10, 2019 ItchBoi, I noticed many times while playing 2.1, the ranger trucks don't fully pull into the parking spots. They will either be around 5 feet away from the parking spot bump thing, or will pull off to the side, thus pulling some jaska** parking. Wasn't sure if you are aware or not.

Yes actually. I turn the virtual object on and off depending on whether there is a train on the map. 2 hours ago, joker15x said: ItchBoi, I noticed many times while playing 2.1, the ranger trucks don't fully pull into the parking spots.

Yes, this is one of the bugs I attempted to fix. So far, it goes in about 95% of the time. They dont park correctly if there happens to be another person or vehicle blocking their way in the parking lot. It can also mess up sometimes when I use the "call ranger" command while the vehicle is parking at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to place rangers in certain areas to ensure they park correctly most of the time. Also, did you say you were planning to add some sort of medical GUI kind of thing for EMS calls? If so, I can give you some IRL pointers to make it more realistic. If interested in that, PM me. Thx. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you tried using two virtual objects? One on each side of the track and only covering one lane? Then the cars wouldn't stop in the middle of the crossing.

Then the cars wouldn't stop in the middle of the crossing. Let me clarify: there are indeed two VO's, but the process of turning them on/off is what causes them to stop in the middle There is no way to time it so the VO activates right at the point of the car's nose.

The Loot Posted August 12, 2019 Report Share Posted August 12, 2019 Perhaps checking for a vehicle colliding with the VO before changing them to barriers, with a short delay and repeat if there's a vehicle there? If you hadn't already thought of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you hadn't already thought of that. Thats the method I do with the train crossing logic to check when the signals should go off. I already have that kind of check for resetting the stop sign script. I could add it in but I dont know what the tipping point of lag is yet. Mercifully, the missionscript method gives me some headroom. The best example is the stop sign script, It no longer uses a constant check script but the vanilla TLRed virtual object terrain, so that the virtual objects are by default going to stop the vehicles. I tell the missionscript to check the virtual object only once, and run the command to open up the virtual object once. Resetting it is where the repeat command comes in.

paleocacher Posted August 18, 2019 Report Share Posted August 18, 2019 I had a thought on the topic of corralling animals. In the London Modification for Emergency 4 police officers can pepper spray dogs to capture them. In the Emergency 3 modification Notruf California, they had an animal control truck where you could equip the officers with a tranquilizer gun, which was just a rifle and it killed the animal but for purposes of RP it was just asleep and they put it into the truck and drove off with it. Perhaps you could do something like this with your park rangers. Rename a rifle a tranq gun, have them shoot the animal and then if possible just delay its death to roleplay the period of time it would take a drug to work its way through the animal's system.

itchboy Posted August 19, 2019 Report Share Posted August 19, 2019 I have that planned. The difficult part is lifting animals into vehicles for transport. A question though: Does the default Em4 rifle look like a tranq gun or should I make some edits to it? Another question. Will a deceased bear fit in the bed of a flatbed style pickup truck? Say one of these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florian17 Posted August 19, 2019 Report Share Posted August 19, 2019 iirc ERS Berlin had some sort of animal scripts where you had to capture a lost dog and you coult put him in a fire truck. I'm not sure if it also applies to dead animals tho... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred03 Posted August 20, 2019 Report Share Posted August 20, 2019 A deceased bear would totally fit in that sort of vehicle. Bears are smaller in real life than people give them credit for. It might also be worth considering an option to deploy or remove a barrel bear trap. http://www.emergency-planet.com/uploads/monthly_2019_08/image.thumb.png.c350110e38c2db3bf2a885b04098d09c.png http://www.emergency-planet.com/uploads/monthly_2019_08/image.thumb.png.c350110e38c2db3bf2a885b04098d09c.png http://www.emergency-planet.com/uploads/monthly_2019_08/image.thumb.png.f3633816cea9a6ee1d2506f847f90e99.png Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
