Hoppah Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 Hi, As some of you know you cannot unload the boat from the LAFD Motorboat Transporter in mission 7 (Police chase ends in tragedy). I've been trying to fix this bug for ages and have not been able to fix it. It's driving me nuts. The one who can fix this might get a test version of the Los Angeles Mod v2.0. I can't promise anything though, but I'll see what I can do.The bug is that the LAFD Motorboat Transporter does not wants to unload its motorboat at the landing stage.It drives to the indicated loading point (also called a 'TFMB landing stage' in the editor) and just sits there. Screenshot:The bug is not related to scripts or the LAFD Motorboat Transporter as it works fine in other missions. It's definately the map file which is causing the problem. I've already made a few changes to the map myself. I tried to move virtual objects, change the terrain height, change the landing stage itself, but nothing seems to work. You can find the map of mission 7 with my changes in the attached .rar file. It might be useful if you want to give it a shot. In case you are not familiar with the TFMB landing stages, you can find the stage under 'Waiting points' in the editor. Hoppah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forensics Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 I remember being able to put it in the water a while ago. I have just tried now but it doesn't work. Maybe something to do with patch edits? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoppah Posted December 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 it's possible, but for em4fun it works.Doesn't mean it's not bugged. It's ok to post suggestions, but don't you think restarting the game is something I didn't already try while testing my own changes to the map?Em4fun might confuse this mission with the other mission ("Motorway bridge collapses!") which plays on the same map. The LAFD Boat Transporter works fine on that one. For the LA Mod mission I moved the loading stage point to a different location and something went wrong there. None of the patches for LA Mod v1.9 change something to that map, the boat transporter or its commands.Hoppah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xplorer4x4 Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 I will take a look and see if i cant come up with something. Slightly off topic but ever have any luck fixing the hostage situations using one of my two suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xplorer4x4 Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 lol some where ib the bug report topic i think, and i made a topic in the LA Mod forum to. Off the top of my head, I noticed one key difference between the Deluxe map hostage events and the hostage events on the new map. On the old map the houses, like the one across from FS1, was empty aside from one guy I believe. The house had a name set for it on the properties menu for the specific house(forget the exact name the editor uses, child maybe). Then when the event happens the game spawns the people automatically.The original thing I noticed was if you placed a person on the map, selected the person on the map, hit properties, hit edit child I believe, and theres an option to set people as a hostage. I havent tried it personally. I have just been lazy.Off topic again, but maybe you could enlighten me on something, how do you make a suicide jumper in a window? I checked the old map where I had a jumper before but there seemed to be nothing to trigger the event in that location. Is it randomly generated like medical runs?

Hoppah Posted December 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 The buildings with the hostage events have the name 'hostages', the person(s) inside the house are named 'house_person', but lets stick to the topic now.Big edit:Before people ask, the new SWR truck and boat have the same problem on that map.

FireFightersKid Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 Try to take an another place on the map? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoppah Posted December 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 Try to take an another place on the map?Not an option, the stage point should be there, or at least on that part of the shore. Why don't you try to fix it yourself? That's actually the reason I made this topic, to let people know I might need some help to fix the problem.

Woltep Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 Have you checked the unit.xml file for the boat?The line "missions value" should contain any mission in which you want to use the boat.Regards Woltep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The indexnumber of LA Mod mission 7 is 32, which had to be added to the unit.xml file of original FMB (Los Angeles Mod v1.9/Units/Vehicles/Fire Department/070FMB/unit.xml) too. For some reason the unit ID of the motorboat is hardcoded to "FMB", that's why a change to that file is required to make it work in these missions. I just totally forgot about that.
