Henderson Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 How'd you get such a close view? I think it looks good. The other day, I saw a HiViz on an ambulance that was yellow on white, and it did look weird. The red on white looks fine. On ambulances, you might want to try red on yellow. So far, so good!

Hoppah Posted January 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 Me means adding the striping on the other two ambulances. The white/red ambulance seemed to be older and only newer ambulances will have it.Those two screenshots were made in the editor. You can press the Pause/Break button to go into free view.

Madman Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 New textures look great.The only thing I can suggest is that you look at your lighting. I found it to be a little slow on the flash rates which made it look unrealistic. I edited the lighting on my personal files and I think it really adds to the game.Maybe check with Mike and see what he thinks as I'm not from LA.

helljumper51 Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 what i also suggest(i did this addition for my own personal use) is add the fire hose connections , have some in the back wherer the hose bed it, in game it looks a lot mor realistic and a little cooler. and maybe one on the crosslay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firefighter304 Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 uh there are hose connections... to my knowledge, there are two on each side of the truck in hoppah's mod (the two different engines)... yeah there should be one on the back, but the only realisim about that would be was if hoppah increased the gpm on it because on the back is where a 2 1/2 inch connection would be.. where as the hose lays on the sides are only 1 1/3 inch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrtucker555 Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 see i wish there was a way he could make a hose connect from the beds to like a firefighter and the firefighter could connect it to the hydrant and the truck could use that line for water that would look sick!

I've seen plenty of engines with 2.5 inch connections in the cross lays (ours included) along with 1.75 inch lines. I'm not sure what the LAFD specs are for their engines, hopefully Mike can shed some light on the issue.Mike, do you know the hose layout for LAFD engines? What size hose is standard? Does the LAFD run CAFS capable engines, or is that left to Foam Tenders?EDIT:Here are some pictures of their engines, hopefully this will help some.http://mikesphotos.us/gallery2/v/Action/Ev...ageViewsIndex=1http://mikesphotos.us/gallery2/v/Action/In...ageViewsIndex=1http://mikesphotos.us/gallery2/v/Action/In...ageViewsIndex=1Upon further review, it appears you may be correct. It looks like 4" or 5" supply line, along with either 2.5" or 3" attack line off the back. The side appears to have either 1.5", 1.75", or 2" hose. If we were going for full accuracy, that would mean the engines should only have three hose connections, with the two crosslays both on the passenger side. The hose off the back of the engine would flow substantially more water. Again, I think we need the actual specifications and guidelines used by the LAFD to determine the actual setup used.

Guest Mav1701 Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 2 things: No new animations, so you can't have an animated hose connecting to the engine from the hydrant.You also probably shouldn't mess with the hose points for firemen, they already collide and get stuck at times getting the hose from the equipment bay and then walking to hook up. They're spaced nicely now, any more and there will be a traffic jam (I reckon) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoppah Posted January 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 I agree with Mav1701. It's also not possible to add more than four hose connections per vehicle. I can easily change the position of the connections, but I think the way they are positioned now is the best.Mod news:I've almost finished the second fire engine too. After that I will work on the Aerial Ladder and the Water Tender. Both will have some more details and some texture improvements. More pictures soon.

Hoppah Posted January 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 Some new eye candy:Screenshots made in the editor in free view.Both fire engine's and the aerial ladder have been changed.All three vehicles have a silver roof and lots of new details. The fire engine's have a deck gun. Textures have also been improved.I'm still trying to add working (animated) supports to the ladder truck.Hoppah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
