Tim Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 Hi guys,I'm currently working on a dispatch center simulation and I would like to get an overview of what the players would like to see.So just state what your dream feature would be, the more ideas and wishes I get, the more you help me Attention: This is not related to the NY modification, it is an independent, stand-alone software!I made a concept screenshot, to give you a small impression on what the program could look like.Do not think of any limitations, feel free to state everything(!) you can imagine of, every idea can help to improve the quality and the fun of the final software.So far,Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick the greek Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 You finally made it a post earlier than you said People will love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Multibullets Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 Damn! I'd love this mod, having the idea floating around in my mind.So will this just be a seperate software or will this still be a mod for Emergency 4? If yes, what visualization will there be? Will you just be staring at that window in that screen you posted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Posted November 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 No, this is not for Emergency, it's a stand alone software.Other possible modules:-Map screen (Google Maps, or an offline data source)-Unit Overview-Telephone screen (call Hospitals, other Departments etc.)-The dispatch mask, where you enter all the information you get from the caller Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Multibullets Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 Still sounds awesome, have you started modding yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Posted November 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 As I said before, this is NO mod, it is stand alone!Of course I'm already programming on this, otherwise I would not ask for your wishes and ideas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maffegozer Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 s this something like at the rescue mod (german thing of wuppertal)But then the lite version (.exe program like this?)So no mod, but a program? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't go waste my time.As I said before, this is NO mod, it is stand alone!Of course I'm already programming on this, otherwise I would not ask for your wishes and ideasI ment if you started programming it yet.Well, it's not as obvious as you think it is, maybe you first wanted to hear peoples opinions about it.

nick the greek Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 No, this is not for Emergency, it's a stand alone software.Other possible modules:-Map screen (Google Maps, or an offline data source)-Unit Overview-Telephone screen (call Hospitals, other Departments etc.)-The dispatch mask, where you enter all the information you get from the callerAll of them sound great! I like the map thing. It would be really cool to use Google maps or something similar to dispatch the units.Speech will also be great but I don't know if you can make it possible to have speech during the call. I mean when somebody calls 911 the dispatcher may say 911 operator what is your emergency? and things like this which are used for sure.I could do some voice acting using Greek accent(many Greeks live in USA or in Germany but I think I can try to do some other people's accent too Basically I want to help. I could try to do anything except testing and scripting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mrpolice1996 Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 Sounds like i great ideaI presume you are going to release it, yes? If so would it be free? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xplorer4x4 Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 What about setting this up so your a dispatcher behind a desk but have a large map on a wall in the dispatch center similar to the mini maps in EM4 but taking it a little further. So when you see a blue dot, it has a small box above it saying 3ADAM1 or something like this. So that is 3A1 is near a attempted robbery you can some hoe send out a radio cal saying "3ADAM1, 3BOB2, respond to attempted robbery in progress at 5th and main." Now ideally I would say you push a button, speak into the mic and say "2ADAM1 respond to (inert problem here)" but that would single out those of us with out a mic making the game/sim useless.

alaganga Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 It looks like a great idea, i would definately play. i like the idea of using google maps and stuff that would be awesome. Great idea! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newfoundking Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 I agree and I think I would like to see a map put in there with stations that you can list the units for, or even import your ownmaps from something like google earth and it'd recognize roads(or you could put them in) and you'd have to mark off your stations of course, as you can't do everywhere, though I think it should come with it's own city with a map and such Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maffegozer Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 instead of google maps you could use google earth...Also, im volunteering to:*Help with some art stuff (i use photoshop, flash, and after affects)*Help with any other kind I can do... just tell me and I'll tell you if i can do it.

Guest mrpolice1996 Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 Yes google earth would be better... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Multibullets Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 I myself would prefer a fiction map made in Photoshop or something, just like the one in E4. This wouldn't really get me out of the game since everything is virual and suddenly the map is a real pic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jab16 Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 It would be cool to have a little map botton in the top right corner that you can click to see postions of emergency units and there stations. Then click another botton on the top part of the map and it will give you the units status. Blue out of service, red on a call, white avalible for call out.
