Fuzzyface Posted December 22, 2009 Report Share Posted December 22, 2009 Have you downloaded Patch 3 for the mod?This will resolve around 90% of the traffic issues.You will find it in the first post hereIf you already have patch 3, then we will need to see some screenshots of where the traffic begins to back up from.Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pmadden94 Posted December 22, 2009 Report Share Posted December 22, 2009 Also, which map?If it is freeplay, it is possible there is a problem with the map (I.E. Object, tree, other blockage)It could also be in the scripts. under the freeplay parameters, look for something that says this<vehicletraffic factor="1.5"/>and change the 1.5 to something lower.This worked well for me.

Xplorer4x4 Posted December 23, 2009 Report Share Posted December 23, 2009 Traffic is a known problem on the new feeplay map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAtitan Posted December 23, 2009 Report Share Posted December 23, 2009 Traffic isn't a problem in itself, because you are able to re-direct with cars and officers. Problem is however when traffic becomes unresponsive and dosen't react to neither of the above mentioned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newfoundking Posted December 23, 2009 Report Share Posted December 23, 2009 That will happen occasionally, and as far as anyone knows it cannot be fixed, so you just have to shoot the car, put it out and tow it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forensics Posted December 24, 2009 Report Share Posted December 24, 2009 Is it possible to make civilian cars tow-able (without shooting them)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agentchung Posted December 24, 2009 Report Share Posted December 24, 2009 Another possible "solution" you can try to use is to block off the traffic coming into the city from the main arterial roads/avenues..Just get some units to lay down a spike strip, pylons, flares, or barricades... Just lay any of these down across the INCOMING lanes of traffic... That should stop the flow of traffic coming into the city.I haven't personally taken this drastic measure... but I know that I have had some problems doing it on one road back in 1.9I stopped all incoming traffic because of a MVA, but by blocking those lanes of traffic, the traffic lights seemed to stop working... THey didn't change at all... But once I let traffic through the blocked lanes, the lights were fully functional again. Maybe someone could have a try?

Guest RescueWolf Posted December 25, 2009 Report Share Posted December 25, 2009 Just Curious if someone could point me to the script i need to modify to turn down the amount of traffic hopefully this will ease my traffic jams a bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadylasse Posted December 25, 2009 Report Share Posted December 25, 2009 Block off all map enteries with spike strips or fences, that'll solve alot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cant figure out how to do it because the program wont let you edit it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EM4life Posted December 26, 2009 Report Share Posted December 26, 2009 The easyest thing to do is go into freeplay, open the "spawn points" button in the editor pane, select each spawn point entering the map and set it lower or to zero. personally I've never had any traffic problems in v2.0, you have that right? If not I sugest you get it. BTW:MERRY CRISTMAS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW:MERRY CRISTMAS me neither.... everything works like a charm. exept for my patrol cars which occasionaly get stuck with traffic at intersections. but thats easy to solve by just hitting the patrol button again.
