LACityFFengineCo287 Posted September 19, 2009 Report Share Posted September 19, 2009 Police pursuits are possible now in 1.9 and Winterberg mod.I know. I can't read German, so i usually end up clicking random buttons. Nothing spells fun like clicking random symbols! anyways, this list has been significantly shortened, from what it was. now that k-9's, police chases, tillers, set water supplies. It's all changing, probably for the better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LACityFFengineCo287 Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 Who knows. Maybe someone can figure out a pursuit script. With everything thats been done, maybe someone can get this crossed of the list ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dyson20 Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 would this sort of thing be posible im nto sure if that is what is meant by mid mount arials sorry if it isthis is the one i was thinking ofthis is the sort of thing it does Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyPI Posted February 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 mid-mount refers to a ladder w/ the basket/whatever positioned in the middle of the truck extending off the rear of the vehicle.. theoretically possible but complicated to implement, positioning the vehicle to enter structures is nearly impossible to guarentee with how you have to do the model for a mid-mount... Your example, on the other hand has several pivot points from the looks of it, which would pose a problem to re-create, it is no different than a truck type called a cherry picker it has a scissor type arm that folds back onto it's self and opens up, that type of aerial vehicle can't really be re-created for this game because of how the ladder is permitted a single pivot point..

dyson20 Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 ahh so i will have to stick with a basic TL in my mod then i can barely do the basics don't wanna have a go at complicated stuff yetnew idea... would it be possible to have an ALP (arial ladder platform) or water tower with a water monitor on it and have a firefighter to attach a hose from one pump/hydrant to the ALP instead of the firefighter climbing into the basket and the hose hanging down from the basket like below Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newfoundking Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 I've never seen a hose attached to the firefighter in the basket before, I've always just put them in the basket ? I've never had to havea hose for the monitor to work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dyson20 Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 well at the moment in em4 to use turntable you get firfighter with hose then install truck get ff into basket and it goes up irl i know in britain not sure about anywhere else they have a monitor (cannon ) built into the basket and the hose runs up the frame of the ladder to a pump at the bottom in the truck if you look at the pic above it should show what i mean better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyPI Posted February 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 in the americas the ones that have a sprayable tub on the end usually have an extendable boom that has under each segment a section of pipe, the truck it's self is hooked into the feed not a hose that is then ran up the boom... that's how we do things personally i don't see how running a hose up from ground level with water in it to a basket or a ladder unless you ran it up the ladder it's self would be safe... water weighs alot fast and a hose danglin off a ladder just seems dangerous to me. it'd require scripting to cause such an effect that imo just isnt justified for the effort required you have to basically make the vehicle become the FF instead of the dude that was carrying it so the hose *attaches* to it.

Newfoundking Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 I think what he means is not to use the hose, if so, have you tried getting a firefighter up there without the hose? I never had such problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeyPI Posted February 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 The ladder and it has the ability to spray without a hose being required... It has to have a cannon component for the original ladder structure to work. I just tried it, and apparently yeah a guy with a hose can indeed go onto a ladder but his hose is inactive while he is on the ladder, kinda odd they let you do that my guess is to fight interior fires on the 2nd floor instead of using a fire extinguisher... To attatch a hose to a truck on the other hand I think people have done it in other mods for engines so I can't see a reason that would not work through scripting to have to attatch it....*EDIT*yeah he can't enter the building with the hose, apparently that is a major bug in the ORIGINAL game mechanisms, for laughs try to disconnect the hose while on the ladder, wait for him to stop going nuts, and he is on the ladder but the truck can be undeployed and moved, the ladder is still extended with him on top of it=) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frm03064 Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 Some things id like to see modded, but would require additional scripting:1. Ventilation.- Half of the work done on a fire scene is related to ventilation. Id like to see the ability to have firefighters cut roofs and smash windows, and have it affect the intensity and burn time of the fires.2. Ground ladders- It would be nice to see ground ladders modelled in some form or another.3. Foam- Im pretty sure people have already suggested the ability to have foam.4. More fire related injuries- The only time i see victims that require EMS in a fire is when something explodes and knocks down civilians. It would be nice to see things like burns/smoke inhalation modeled, like having anyone close or in the burning structure fall unconcious and require healing by a EMT/PM.5. Firefighter health- It seems like i can send firefighters without SCBA's right into burning buildings no problem... Sending them in without an SCBA should affect their health... Otherwise theres no purpose of equipping them with the SCBA.6. Interior attack- Getting firefighters to go inside with a hoseline is sometimes impossible and othertimes very buggy.7. Hydrant/truck connections- I know winterberg did it, and its a common request... id like to see the ability to hook trucks up to hydrants... maybe limit how much water a truck can pump without having a hydrant connection.

Newfoundking Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 1. This is something the NY mod team has been experimenting with. Though they recreated freeplay with a mission script, so that's different2. Theoretically, it is possible, possibily creating a human holding a ladder that works like a ladder truck with no water3. To adjust the fire extinguishing capabilities is beyond that of this game4. You could create more injuries by organizing fires more designed on the map, however all injuries would appear to be the same, so it's up to you to pretend the cause.5. In missions, certain structures have a virtual object that states if a fire is burning, only SCBA firefighters can enter without injury. I don't think anyone tried this with freeplay6. That's something related to the game. You've gotta send someone in before them, and then click move to position them inside7. Winterberg is essentially a recreation of freeplay using mission scripts from what I can tell. This means that it is not possible to recreate in freeplay. No one bothered putting it in their mod, as they figured that it would be too much trouble for the twenty or so missions people SOMETIMES play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dyson Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 I've been dabbling with ventilation, so far I've got the guys on the roof, made sliceable objects for the guys to cut up, but where would I even begin to make this affect the burn time or intensity? D:Just thought I'd throw that out there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newfoundking Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 The only way I could see venting helping slow the fire down would to be giving it some kinda extinguishing ability once it's activated.. The only problem is you can't really tweak that to my knowledge. The only other way I could see making venting necessary without re-creating freeplay would be to have it as an object that is very flamable, but not so easy to extinguish, and if it's burning, you can "use" it and open it, which would function the same as extinguishing, that could allow the venting to be necessary in the way of fully clearing a call.

cops Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 Winterberg has a script like that, but that's only for the smoke in a building otherwise you still keep victims... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erfd Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 Just a guess, but what if you set up a fire like in the oil rig mission where you need to shut off the gas line. Make it so there is an active fire inside that wont go out unless the 'source' is put out by ventalation. Then the fire will go out as usual.
