Patch 3 fixes the following bugs:

- Added traffic lights to four intersections on the new map

- Both fire stations spawn with full staffing now

- Added icons to the minimap of the new map

- Added traffic lights to three intersections on the new map

- Trailer of the tiller is invulerable to fire now

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Unfixable bugs:

- Mission 8: Convoy can get redirected by vehicles with directional lights on.

- The trailer of tiller does not have physics when it is not installed. This prevents the trailer from getting stuck.

- The tiller cannot be installed at windows.

- The fireman on the ladder sometimes floats in the air.

- The trailer logic might be buggy and/or slow on older computers and during online play.

- MP5, M4a1 and PSG-1 fire through objects.

- Mission 2: Canister sometimes can't be closed (restarting the game will fix it)

- Mission 3: Bomb Squad cannot pick up the briefcase (restarting the game will fix it)

- Sometimes, the wye cannot be picked up, the fireman disappears and nothing else happens.

Strange occasions: (often reported as bugs, but cannot or won't be changed)

- Vehicles on patrol ignore traffic lights

- The watercannon of parked fire engines in one of the fire stations shoots through the roof of the fire station when a fire is in its vicinity.

- When personnel of the third parked ambulance (fire station 1) exits the vehicle they sometimes appear outside of the fire station.

Hi , i'm new , awesome work about 1.9 but when i playing in freeplay games i don't have the chase script , is it a bug ?

Missing Building on freeplay map.

[Guest cbh84]

I don't know if its a bug or you wanted it this way but there are no building icons on the mini map

Also firefighters can walk through the back bay doors at fire station 1 when they are closed

One more thing I think the building some people are missing (the movie theater) is a Deluxe building but I may be wrong

[Newfoundking]

These are more than likely Deluxe buildings that were not included in the mod package, therefore when non deluxe players try to play, they are missing... The quick fix for this is either for Hoppah to release a patch with them a) included in the patch, so it'll work, or b) removed from the map, for the non deluxe players... And if you really want, you can go into the editor, and replace them yourself for now

[Guest Dave]

Ok, great additions, I love the tiller. I also like the new buildings and American cars. It makes it very realistic. A few bugs I have noticed so far. The FBI still doesn't work in Multiplayer, when using the chase command the officers sometimes become invisible and non-selectable after getting out of the car, and they will just stop traffic around them. that's all I have found so far. Great Job though. You always do a great job

[Guest Bl00d_B0urne]

Two Small bugs i found:

First: Since tiller trailer has no physics, cars can drive through it, even when trying to block road.

and

Bucket on Tower seems to be sitting back.

http://i37.tinypic.com/2epq9e8.jpg

Other than those two atm, great Mod.

oh and btw, i tried to replace the Tiller in the firestationstart script file, but when freeplay starts up, only the Tiller Cabin is in the station.

[Guest cbh84]

If the tiller gets near any fires the trailer gets heavily damaged

[usmc123]

just played and im missing a model file which looks like theres meant to be a stadium there and when theres a aronist the fire cant be put out

here is a picture

That, and the forum child watch van seems to get stuck in traffic often. Other vans seem to as well. Other than that, great job Hoppah.

The water at top of new 1.9 freeplay map is completely static (cant show in a screenshot) and not ripply as it should be. Also, no station icons on minimap as in 1.8, maybe not bug but an omission/forgotten?

[Hoppah]

Look closer, it's there. The command has the same icon as the Follow command of the police helicopter.

Missing Building on freeplay map.

Will be fixed in a patch today.

there are no building icons on the mini map

It's not a bug, but I forgot to add the icons on the mini map.

The FBI still doesn't work in Multiplayer, when using the chase command the officers sometimes become invisible and non-selectable after getting out of the car

The FBI vehicles should be available in multiplayer now. You just need to buy them yet (the big + button). I'm aware of the chase command bug, a similar thing happens to a few other commands. Fixing the multiplayer bugs is not really high on my to-do list now. Thanks for mentioning them though.

First: Since tiller trailer has no physics, cars can drive through it, even when trying to block road.

I have mentiond the tiller bugs a couple of times before the release of v1.9. It's one of the many reasons I didn't want to make a tiller in the first place. I can't fix that, but did add all known tiller issues to the first post. You need to adjust the script to spawn the trailer as well and attach it to the tiller. Did the bug with aerial ladder (the tower) happened more than once?

You need to adjust the start script to spawn a tiller and attach it to the trailer.

If the tiller gets near any fires the trailer gets heavily damaged

Will (probably) be fixed in a patch.

That, and the forum child watch van seems to get stuck in traffic often. Other vans seem to as well. Other than that, great job Hoppah.

Please take some pictures of the points where they get stuck, but I might take a look at the physics of the vans.

The water at top of new 1.9 freeplay map is completely static (cant show in a screenshot) and not ripply as it should be.

It's not static here. I just checked it. Do you have 911:FR and do more people have this problem? I think it's a 911:FR related problem.

I will release a patch today which fixes most of the bugs mentioned above.

also ive noticed some missing civilian vehicles in the city driving around...

[mutu]

At some points patrol cars causes traffic jam. One point is in the upper left corner. Another bug is when you try to redirect a vehicle it stops, and you can't do anything with it except frok shooting it. But a great mod!

[Hoppah]

Unfortunately, I cannot check that out myself. Can you start the editor, load the mod, then the map and see if you can find a few of these missing vehicles? (they get replaced by that 'missing object' box). If you do, make a screenshot of that and post it here. Then I can load the map myself and can find out what vehicle is missing.

[em4fun]

a trafic path bug: it happend a few times,

[szron]

I have static water bug too!

(EM 4 Standart v.)

There is only one patrol path and all my units are patroling in column.

There are a lot of jams when patroling viechle meets heavy traffic.

And when my tiller trailer starts burning (YAY ) i can't extinguish it. I mean when it started to burn i moved away main truck from tiller and left trailer. You cant do anything with it.

Hope you understand ;D

[Guest M1n1d0u]

Burning trailer of the tiller will be fixed. As well as SOME of the choking points. I added traffic lights to 3 intersections. Unfortunately, I can't do much about the patrolling vehicles. They ignore traffic lights and will collide with oncoming traffic.

I don't know about the static water though.

Not sure what vehicle accident accident you mean, can you make a screenshot of the location?

I did found the Wal-Mart bug which will be fixed in the patch.

[LittleFoX]

I think he means the accident to the west of Fire station 1, with 3 vehicles. They start burning and explode within 5 sec.

[em4fun]

another bug found (its a model bug)

dont know how to say in english so i tell it in dutch:

bug: bij de nieuwe brug zit een stoeprandje. daar kunnen je eenheden wel op maar er niet meer af dan moeten ze terug naar het eind en de weg weer op, het is niet zo erg maar ik wilde je er toch op attent maken

screen (als dat nodig is):

[Hoppah]

Because people without Deluxe are missing a whole building I quickly made a patch:
