zootoo63 Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 hi hoppah. i ahve a question regarding another button/vcmdcommand. is it possible to in the futur updates, somehow allow both the spot lights and the directional lights on a vehicle turn on independantly, instead of both being speacial lights? and this might be asking a little much, but a rear deck light or warning light(maybe 2 led flashers on each lightbar to the rear) command so we dont need the full lightbar going or the directional lights. thanks and hope this is a good idea. let me know if its possible thanks.

Hoppah Posted February 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 The idea is good, but it's not possible to add that.At least, not in an easy way.Hoppah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MonkeySquasher Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 The idea is good, but it's not possible to add that.At least, not in an easy way.HoppahYeah, wouldn't it involve basically splitting every light into a separate light, then scripting them one by one?And maybe 6 months later we could have selectable lights? lolIt would be sweet though.. *thumbs up* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest melvindegroot Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 Hoppah i really love your mod. I know it isnt the right place but i had a question, Did you ever consider to put next to the Fire chief car ( Empty spot on the left ) A EMS chief car?

erfd Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 If you want it you can add it in the editor, i believe You can, but it wont work like the chiefs car because of all the scripts involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zootoo63 Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 (edited) You can, but it wont work like the chiefs car because of all the scripts involved.learn how to script. hehe Yeah, wouldn't it involve basically splitting every light into a separate light, then scripting them one by one?And maybe 6 months later we could have selectable lights? lolIt would be sweet though.. *thumbs up*unless i dont understand your comment thoroughly, i dont think that it would take splitting every single light. i mean, its been done beofore with the traffic advisor/spot light command. why not have a 3rd command for lights? please dont take this as an arguement, just as a debate.

I actually know very little about models, and even less about lighting. I just figured, if you wanted direct control over all the lights, you'd have to split them up individually. But like I said, I don't actually KNOW about lighting or how you attach it to the vehicle model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newfoundking Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 well it is all done in editor, under EDIT, LIGHTS then you just place as you see fit, take a little learning, but I won't go into explaining that now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zootoo63 Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 well it is all done in editor, under EDIT, LIGHTS then you just place as you see fit, take a little learning, but I won't go into explaining that nowthats not quite what we are talking about. i dont know if you read my reply above where i asked if instead of the directional lights and the spot lights being both special lights could we have 3 types of special lights so they all dont work on 2 different commands but that is the main question here. im sure it is quite difficult, and maybe i should request that in the em5 suggestions topic but i was just wondering if it was possible, tahts all. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

usmc123 Posted March 1, 2009 Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 Making progress slowly. Right now, I am only playing the Empire: Total War demo. Off topic, but have you been modding the Empire Total War demo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Twix623 Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 Off topic, but have you been modding the Empire Total War demo?You can't mod demos. They are demos for a reason, and there are no dev tools available for demoed games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would have to mod it like a normal game, just smaller. I dont know if it works with all though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Made the US playable on a tutorial map and added defenses. Pretty cool stuff some of the devoted modders their figured out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jab16 Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 Going along with the program theme is there a special program required to re skin people like in the la mod?Thanks, Jab16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newfoundking Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 well to reskin people in the emergency 4 game, it is the same as reskinning a vehicle, sort of... you open the dds, and make whatever changes you want, then save (change back to DDS if you changed it away) and you are good to go. Basically if you can reskin vehicles, people aren't that hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Download a program which converts .dds textures to jpegs or pngs. (I recommend DDS Converter 2)2. Convert the files you want to change. (dont forget to backup the originals!!!~)3. Open them with Paint or Photoshop.4. Edit.5. Convert them back to .dds textures, and replace them in the proper directory.
