Henderson/Frederick County Mod

Recommended Posts

This is planned to be a full conversion mod of the Mayberry Mod v1.5. We plan to have about five to six playable departments in-game; such as Henderson Fire Department, Frederick County Fire & Rescue, Henderson Police Department, Frederick County Sherrifs Office, Clark County Fire Department, and Winchester Fire & Rescue. The Henderson Fire Department and Clark County Fire Department are located in southern Nevada. While FCFRD and Winchester are located in east Virginia. Me and my friend both live in these states so we decided to mash up our units as if they were mutual aid from another department. These are all real departments located in Virginia and Nevada. As of now, we are just texturing units and getting familiar with EM4 modding. We have planned to add apparatus such as additional out of district units and mutual aid. Mass Casualty Incidents, numerous structure fires and Motor Vehicle Accidents can be expected in the release. As of now, it is in Alpha stage, and will not have a download link for some time.  You can look at some pictures below to get familiar with the apparatus and planned callouts that will be included in this mod. We are also planning to edit the Mayberry/LA map aswell in the future as we start to exit the Alpha stages.

Love the skins, any chance you might make one of the ladders into a tower?

Thanks! We are currently attempting that, we just moved from Mayberry to Bushton to make a couple things easier, we should be posting some more pictures soon here!

I googled Henderson PD and they got some good looking Tahoes. 

Thanks! So far we have nothing done for PD, that should come in the next few updates.

Have you considered adding a Nevada Highway patrol or Virginia State police? It would make sense since you are adding 4 different fire departments in the mod. The chain of law enforcement would make sense too municipal(city) > country (sheriff)> state

Also this would be a great way (if you wanted) to include almost or all the different PPVs. Henderson could drive tahoes and caprices, sheriff could have explorers and Taurus's, finally the state police could have chargers and Durango's. Maybe throw some pickups in there too. 

Just an idea 

I look forward to seeing further updates.

At this time due to the limited amount of police vehicles that are in game they will be limited, we will split The Taurus SUV's between Henderson PD & possibly Nevada Highway Patrol as they both use those 90 percent of the time now days. to the Virginia state police as well as Sheriffs office they will be split between the ford Taurus's cars as that is what they mostly have in their area at this time skinning for all fire and ems is completed, we are beginning to work on police side of things for skinning we will have updates with pictures coming soon.

Henderson Fire has paramedics on every appartus and has rescue units, Frederick County has paramedics on medic units and rescue engines only (part time.) So yes, all on map FD's will have the ability to transport patients. But we will let you staff appartus with whatever you're comfortable with or require, we possibly plan on keeping AMR in the game and might add Medic West or Community Ambulance. If not, they will be replaced with Clark County Fire Department for rescue appartus.

Will the fire dept run the EMS or are you guys going with someone else?

How many on map Fd stations will there be.

Re: Lights and FPS, the main 'killer' is the radiation. Radiation and other such texture effects dont seem to perform very well in Em4. I'd advise cutting down on them significantly, at most 4 maybe 5 lights with radiation on the entire vehicle. Second component would be the number of lights. Em4 handles corona and polygon lights reasonably, but once you start hitting the triple digits (100 up) then performance issues begin to manifest.

I think we're moving on the right track now with the lights. Thanks for the help! We really appreciate it!
