Overland Park, Kansas Mod [WIP]

[The Jester]

People who can script or just simply help are much needed!

 

Hello, Everyone! I'm known as the Jester. I'm currently working on a Modification called Overland Park, Kansas. However this is only made by myself at the moment, with skinning help from Modzzguys and Major help from ENG343INE. But at the moment, it's still a major work in progress and is currently a Private mod at the moment, and if I continue (Which is more than likely the case that I will) then it should be released sometime in a few months or possibly weeks. However, I have not that much knowledge when it comes to anything besides skinning. So, if anyone who reads this can help me, that'd be great! I'm currently posting this on my School Macbook Air, which is monitored by my school (Obviously) and this will be the Main computer I use to update this post, however I have my Main computer (Which will be the secondary computer I use to update this post) I use that one for skinning, and playing games any basically everything besides using a browser. So, I'll hopefully be uploading some pictures of the vehicles or something soon! Like I already said, If someone could help me out with literally anything, that'd be great!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Some Information about the Modification/What It'll contain;

This Mod will be based off of the City "Overland Park" in the State of "Kansas". I live in the city currently, and I'm a high school student at one of the city's high school. Along with being a Explorer with the Fire Department, Now I'll provide some information about the fire department, but not all of it may be true, some of the things may be changed. (Discloser: Anything that this modification contains or is associated with, does NOT reflect on those things. I.E. the fire department in this game does NOT reflect Overland Park's fire department in real life, nor anything else that this mod has. Just had to say this So, I won't get in trouble with anyone hopefully)

Now this Modification should contain (Which may be subject to change);

• The Overland Park Police Department (OPPD), Which our department in game will pertain at the moment to Crown Victorias (Models currently undecided), Explorers, Ford Taurus, And I believe that's it. However that may change. The skin will pertain a Gray base color with a lighter gray stripe that has "POLICE" on it, along with the Overland Park Police Badge and a few other things. Along with the Jester logo. (Just So the skin can't be associated necessarily with the actual Overland Park Police)
• The Overland Park Fire Department (OPFD), Which will contain mainly different stations (Hopefully) and this'll have "Engines" (which are our Main Vehicle, like most departments it'll respond to general "Engine" like calls). "Quint" (This I haven't got a description much, since I haven't had the change to get associated with yet). "Ambulance" (This is our main vehicle for Medical Calls, We will have both the OPFD version and the JCCC Version.) "Truck" (These are our ladder trucks and will be assisting in jumpings and other needs for a truck. P.S. I can't think of what they'd be used as or what they'd be classified as besides a "Truck"). Next is the "Rescue" (There'll only be two of these just like our actual department, These are specialized technicians. And will respond to the majority of major calls, they also are our Rescue/Squad and Hazmat (Our engines and such are a lower class hazmat while our Rescue is our "Higher" Hazmat). "Battalions", (these are our Battalion chiefs or just plain higher command vehicles, They'll respond to most of all calls). "Squads", (These are small F350's, with two people usually they'll be medics, We currently have a "Squad House" which is a small suburban house that has one bay and has the F350 in it, these vehicles are also at our stations and they respond to smaller calls, So we don't have to call the Engine for them, Like for example, A Small Medical call or a Small bush fire, or something in that nature). And I believe that's all, More may come. This'll more than likely be based off of Mayberry, if permission is granted. We won't have an Tanker or older version vehicles. We'll have newer vehicles like Pierce or something. There also may be more vehicles changed, added or removed.
• The Kansas Highway Patrol (KHP) These will be our "State Troopers" (This will pertain to Crown Victorias (I doubt, because I have yet to lately see one) Explorers, Chargers, Tahoes, an Possibly a Expedition. Oh and our Motor Assist F350 (Maybe, because that'll be ALOT of work) These may only just be the Charger and Tahoe in our modification due to there not generally be that mainly driving around in Overland Park, I've only seen the Charger and F350. but I think the Charger and Tahoe is all I'll do for now.)
• The Johnson County Sheriffs Department (I don't know the Initials for it, I rarely see these sheriffs except on my ride from the Secondary school, Where I do NJROTC back to my Main school. I know they have a Crown Victoria, Chargers, Explorers and a few other kinds of vehicles, however the Charger & Crown Victoria will be the only Vehicles include in the Mod.)

These are the Majority of the departments that will be included, however they are subject to change as are the information/items in these departments subject to change also!

Some of the missions/calls may include;

Structure fires, Medical calls, Shots fired, Routine Traffic stops (Due to this not being a Major city that has A lot of crime in it) and much more.

 

Here's some of the screenshots, I've just taken as of now: (2/19/2015) They're based off of the Montana Mod just reskinned right now, and in Major Beta. I've got ALOT of more work to do on them, however the only skins done are JCSO (Edited to be a different version than JCSO So, I'll make it look more realistic soon), KHP (Not really, because I don't like the black version, and I've got some more things to edit), and then OPPD. (Different vehicles, however I've got minor things to edit for it, and then that'll be about it.)

 

 

 

Some information about myself/Progression towards the development of the mod;

This is only a work in progress (If permission is given for me to release it). And keep in mind, this is only one Person developing it! And I am a High school student, with a "life". So, it may take some time!

Also, I'm very confident (Sometimes. ) in real life, I've got many friends at school. However I view the majority of Almost everyone at my school is either Ignorant or just plain stupid. And will generally get into "Debates" with me when it comes to law enforcement/ Police brutality, and other Emergency Services. Anything I do or make (Along with this mod or anything it's associated with does NOT reflect the departments, the City or anything else that may not want to be associated with or be reflected upon). I am a Explorer for the OPFD, however don't take anything I say or do as a reflect upon the fire department. I do love both the Fire Department, Law Enforcement & Armed Forces! I'm still in a dazed confusion as to what to do after high school. Since, I'm being to become in love with the Fire Department, And I have MANY friends from different fire departments, and Law Enforcement Agencies. But, at the same time, I also want to become an LEO. (Law Enforcement Officer) after highschool, (Though legally you must be over the age of 21 which is a problem, Because I don't want to wait that long. ) So, That's a thing with me. I generally am a Laid back, down to the earth regular guy, however I feel like I have much more common sense, and knowledge than most of my classmates at school (MANY of them do drugs, mainly Weed however some do ACID and so on. So, that's a negative/stupidity things on their end). I also get annoyed very easily. but, listening to music helps because that's always a great stress-revealer as is playing video games, and making mods and such (Though, I actually don't play much games besides this, Arma 3, and a few others). But enough about me. though, we all know everyone loves me. also, FYI. A jester is a medieval clown. And I got the name from the Grey-Hat hacker "Jester Actual". 

 

Once again, If ANYONE can help me, that'd be great! Because I have little knowledge of doing mods, except skins and that's about it. Videos haven't helped me so far, because either A. They're too old, and I can't understand. or B. There's no sound except for music which makes it VERY Confusing! So, I'd really appreciate help if possibly! From the Jester, Thank you & have a wonderful evening!

Do you have any WIP pics?

Do you have any WIP pics?

Not... At the moment, the only things done, are just the Overland Park Police & the KHP... However, I don't have any Pictures of them, except for only the skin. I'll try and see if I can get those later on today around, 3:30pm (CST). but, I generally am on my school macbook lately, which doesn't have anything on it except the browser basically ('Cause schools, you know?). But, Once I get those, i'll try and post them ASAP.

Also, I feel like this may be removed, however if anyone needs to try and contact me, this is my email. Feel free to contact me whenever you want. "Albachook@outlook.com". -The Jester

[ThatOneIowan]

Mine was removed too, too lazy to put it back. I'll probably replace it with my work one in a few days. It's easier to reach me by email vs PM anyways lol

Will be waiting for screenies!

If you really want to post your email address, feel free. Just don't complain about the spam you will probably start getting. The reason we tend to remove email addresses is that this is a completely public forum, so your email is now freely available for anyone or anything, particularly spambots, looking for it.

 

At the end of the day, it's not against the rules or anything, it's just more of an advisory. So if you are happy it being publically available, feel free to leave it in your posts. Just be prepared when you start receiving loads of spam emails. I get the feeling that even if we did remove it, you'd only put it back anyway.

 

ThatOneIowan, you know you can set it so you receive an email when someone sends you a PM on here? Take a look in the settings.

 

This is for The Jester, the other thing I'll mention while I'm here is double posting. This is against the forum rules, so please avoid doing so. There is an edit button that allows you to add to your posts, this should be used instead. I've merged your posts this time, you won't be so lucky next time.

A Quint is a ladder truck that carries a small amount of water and hose. It's a dual-purpose truck that sounds great on paper but has limited effectiveness in real-world settings. I don't think anyone has managed to get a functioning quint in EM4, but I may be wrong.

Okay, I think I just may not use it then, I may just use the Truck, thank you though for clarifying.

Weekend Update #1. Great progress! I've gotten many of the OPFD stuff done! Still needs a little tweaks here and there. The JCSO is now done with the help of @ENG343NE. And then the OPPD is now done. and KHP is still in progress. Still need to get done with the TEC and then the rest of the Ambulances, and stuff and then vehicles should be done! Next will be personnel. and then hopefully someone can help with scripting or simply making a few stations. (Overland Park is based off of the Montana 1.0 Mod. So, there's only one fire station and Police station by default, and they're both really small.) But  it's been a good time. Much to work on, but got some major stuff done. Weekend Update #1 -The Jester

[fdroleplay22]

Sounds great

[The Jester]

After a while of not replying to this thread. I've have soon to yet find someone that can make more stations for me... I'm currently trying to get permission to use different mods for different things with this. (Using Mayberry 1.5 for the base So I'll actually have stations and stuff). I've also been playing other games, Cities:Skyline = Life right now <3 lol But in all serious-ness at the moment this modification will be put on hold, Please keep it unlocked to whoever reads this (Mods) I'll still post if I get permission or change anything with it, and begin to start progress with it again. Anyways, Jester out.
