jsutton Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 Ok so, tell me if i'm doing this right, so i move the la mod v1.7(the folder with the downloaded maps ) i then take that folder and combine it with the maps folder in the la mod v1.8(hoppahs maps) and then what?thanks batt62not the whole folder. just the 'Maps' folder in the la mod v1.7 folder. For example: Open your la mod v1.7 folder (free play maps in it) You should see the folder Maps now. Then open the folder Maps and you should see your files you combined: newfreeplay.eft, freeplay.e4m, freeplay.dds. If you don't have the maps folder in there, you will just have to copy those 3 files and paste them in the maps folder of the la mod v1.8 folder. Either way it is the same amount of work.After you get done with this, do as I explained at the end of my post.Just load the game. go to modifications on startup screen, go to Los Angeles Mod v1.8 and select then load. It will take a few minutes to load. Then it should take you back to startup screen again. Go to freeplay, then continue and after loading, you should have the new map and still have all the LA Fire Trucks / Police Cars / Ambulances. you will end up at the fire station 1 where you will see fireworks and the alarm going off with everyone running out.

Shadylasse Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 Well.. I dont know what the problem is, but i can't run the map. When i replace the files, so its installed, and i enter the Freeplay (on Original map) it dosn't work. It exits the game, without any information, so it actually kicks me to the deskop.

I guess you have 911 first respondersThe above event you have seen can only be fixed if you have Emergency 4 Delux edition,wOOd is aware of this,thats why when he releases the next map,it will only feature incidents that will work with all versions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pyrothijs Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 ahh, ok yeah I have 911:FR so does that event do anything or is it just for show?It's not just for show, but it can only be solved if you have EM4 Deluxe. If you have any other version of EM4 you will have to ignore it untill the new version comes out. It won't do damage to units or buildings if you meant that. It's a bit like the (normal) demonstration: if you ignore the people they will still be protesting but nothing else happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzz2112 Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 Isn't it possible to turn that off in the fp_params_endless.xml file along with the other event's that are not included in 911? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you could try and see if you can turn it off in the freeplay files. Good thinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tx613 Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 (edited) Download The New Freeplay Map Version 1.2Download links below the instructions. Read the instructions first!!! I made them with a reason.Installation Instructions:1. Download and unpack the New_Freeplay_Floor.zip file. (25mb's! large)2. Move the folder 'Los Angeles Mod v1.7' to your Emergency 4/Mods folder.3. This is a universal file, so it's for both versions and won't replace any file. Now you should have in your mods\Los Angeles Mod v1.7\maps the following file: newfreeplay.eft (So you don't have to rename it!)4. Download and unpack the New_Freeplay_deluxe.zip OR New_Freeplay_normal.zip file. (Depending on you version of em4)5. Move the folder 'Los Angeles Mod v1.7' to your Emergency 4/Mods folder. 6. Make sure all older files will be overwritten (otherwise you did something wrong). If you have the deluxe version of EM4 then you should have the following files in your mods\Los Angeles Mod v1.7\maps: newfreeplay.eft dfreeplay.e4m dfreeplay.dds If you have the normal or 911/FR version of EM4 then you should have the following files in you mods\Los Angeles Mod v1.7\maps: newfreepley.eft freeplay.e4m freeplay.ddsWitch version do I need?If you have Emergency 4 Deluxe then you need "Deluxe version only". If you have the Emergency 4 or 911:First Responders then you need "Normal/911:FR version only".hey can u help me install it Edited January 26, 2009 by pyrothijs quote sized down to install instructions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone know how to stop all events from happening so i can get a feel for the map?You can't stop all events from happening because I think fires and injury calls are completely random. But if you want to change how often you want a event to happen or disable them, go into your Specs folder and open fp_parms_endless and scroll through there and change the <Enabled value = "1" /> to <Enabled value = "0" /> and that should disable it. <!-- JH --> <EFPEventFall> <Enabled value = "1" /> <!-- AverageFrequency: average number of events per 10 minutes --> <AverageFrequency value = "0.7" /> <Worth value = "4.0" /> <SupervisorStart value = "ID_SUPERV_EVENT17" /> <SupervisorFinish value = "" /> </EFPEventFall> to <!-- JH --> <EFPEventFall> <Enabled value = "0" /> <!-- AverageFrequency: average number of events per 10 minutes --> <AverageFrequency value = "0.7" /> <Worth value = "4.0" /> <SupervisorStart value = "ID_SUPERV_EVENT17" /> <SupervisorFinish value = "" /> </EFPEventFall>- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsutton Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 hey i love the map but i have 1 question that i dunno if it was answered before but why does it take station 1 trucks so long to leave the station?I haven't been having trouble with mine yet. They leave when I want them. Only problem I had with fire stations at the beginning of the game is when I called for a ambulance or fire truck, the alarm didn't go off to call for them. So, I just went and clicked alarm and it worked thereafter . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
