Los Angeles Mod bugs, issues and problems

[Hoppah]

Hi,

Been checking out the new version of LA Mod and noticed a few problems/bugs,

1) The police dog goes kinda slow..

2) How do you stop the police dog attacking the criminal once hes caught him so the officer can arrest him rather than the dog injure him then we need to call EMS and waste resources

3) The new officers comand to "Check Victim" doesn't seem to work.. When can we use it? Because when the dog has injured the criminal i tried to click "Check Victim" and nothing was highlighted..

will edit this post if i come across any other problems.

Thanks

1) Not sure if I can change that

2) Get the officer close to the dog and use the Call Dog command again.

3) Where do you want to use it for? The Check Victim command is only used to cover dead bodies or the Missing Person event in Deluxe freeplay.

then we need to call EMS and waste resources

In terms of realism, I think its usually procedure to send EMS in such a case anyways, and using the default settings, its pretty hard to run out of cash to buy another ambulance if needed.

I'm not sure if this has been mentioned, but in a few cases the Police Dog has gone astray and the handler can't control the dog anymore - yet the dog doesn't show on the map or has any visible signs to allow it to be found (via a blip or anything, well at least not in my case.)

Anyway this can be stopped?

Good point, but I use a Trainer for the game so I just press 9 and I get about £9999999 so im fine hehhe

But, I was just saying about wasting resources it seems silly sending EMS to every mainly every call involving police due to the fact the dog keeps injuring the criminal.

How come the Fire Engines never run out of water?

We should have to call in a extra water supply engine or somthing, it would make it realalistic if the engines did eventually run out of water.

They don't run out of water in the original game either. Hoppah hasn't made a script for them to run out of water.

BTW Don't double post. Use the edit button.

Why use a trainer? I think the only time I managed to run of money was dealing with a riot that grew out of control till there was 20-30 people rioting. I had to purchase 2 SWAT Heavy Rescues, and like 3 Mass Causalities, but in reality its hard to run out of money with out a trainer is my point.

Every call? What are you using a K-9 on every police call? Theres your problem. Use the k-9 sometimes, not all the time. Like I said I believe its standard that EMS is dispatched to any call when a K-9 has bit a suspect. So in real life a suspect would have to be treated by EMS "wasting" resources.

@Hoppah: I cant seem to drop a diver from either CG helicopter. Whats the command in the editor, and what is the text displayed in the game for the command?

[randomperson139]

I only use the K9 for calls when the criminal is armed. I think the drop a diver button is the same as the dive command on the diver. It won't drop if the helicopter isn't over water either (I tried ).

Hi!

I have a two problems with your LA Mod 2.0v.

First: I have a shortcut to the mod on my desktop, but, when I click it, windows starts up the emergency 4, not the LA Mod.

Second: When I try running up the mod from Mod List and I wait (mod is loading - black screen), the game is crashing and I can see this:

What happens?

Sorry for my bad english

I'm wating.

hey i have a quick qestion.... adding units or adding s.g mod would not effect 2.0 would it? your just adding and not replacing much if anything at all. just a question before i start remodding again.

I think you need patch 3 for EM4(NOT THE LA MOD PATCH) Its in the download center under EM4-Patches.

I found a small bug, well sort of. I suppose this is debatable in terms of realism but I had a car fire, and I was able to ticket the burnt up car.

[Forensics]

Multiplayer:

- Using the chase command officers are as soon they get out of the car invisible to the joiners.

This works fine for me but for other players the chase command doesn't work and I can't think why it works fine for me but for no-one else as I have the not edited my files at all.

Sorry for keep posting,

Is there a way to make the police escort the ambulance to the hospital?

I can't install any patch, because I have a polish version of E4

im using 9800 graphic card, on vista 32. my game goes very fine last time. with graphic & details high and shadows on. so now my problem is, whenever i click on a unit, everything goes slow, but whenever im not clicking a unit, everything goes fine again. any idea what happened to my comp? i dont have this problem previously..

Same thing happened to me with other Mods and it still happens. My suggestion is to unclick after you finish with vehicle.

I just found a bug, or error of some sort. About an hour into playing the game, the Stoplights at the intersection of the movie theater and behind strip mall just stayed red in every direction. I know some of the lights take a long time to change, but for a solid 20 minutes nothing happened and traffic backed up so bad I had to quit the game. I never had this in 1.8 or 1.9. I will re-start the game and see if it happens again.

I have the same problem. what I do with that problem is that I get an officer and clear some of the traffic. sometimes you can solve a problem that traffic light finally changes. I already came to that situation. Its like a chain reaction.

I have found that I cannot come to the aid of the victim behind the bail bonds shop... My medics all get pinned between the wall and the van thats usually there.

You could go to edit and move the building a bit or other objects and i'm sure the problem will resolve.

Post your replies in ONE SINGLE msg, do not double/triple post

[stefanvp]

Why'd you double-post?

now you're doing it again!

i got 2 bugs or strange things:

1 in the mission with the fire on the oil-thing, the diver dropped from the helicopter walks on the water.

2 if the k-9 officer is using the halt people command, and then calls the dog, he scared the dog away.

sorry for my bad english

i had a fire in the tire building. when my FF were inside with a hose I deployed a gated wye. after the fire was over i was able to pick up the gated wye but he did not pick up the hose when he did this. I then clicked on my engine and it had lost all of its commands. the command box was empty. I had to shoot the truck and haul it off.

Hello everybody!

First of all: La mod 2.0 is fantastic.

but

unfortunately I have a small problem. The freeplay game is crash to the desktop after 20 minutes.

I don't know why.

Merry Christmas!

Hi

Changes in v2 look cool, and I know this is a bugs thread, but if I may make a small suggestion for the next patch.

Atm using the K9 unit, almost certainly means you will injure the suspect, forcing you to use an ambulance, though this does happen in the real world, it is not common.

Is it possible to make the K9 unit have an effect similar (in terms of result) to a flashbang?

I.e. barking at and threatening the suspect making him kneel and be open to arrest (without struggle).

Then there would be a certain % chance that the suspect would not surrender, then the dog would bite and injure him?

this would make it more realistic, and more practical using the K-9 unit from a game point of view.

Thanks for cool mod Hoppah

cosres, by now you would think you could learn to operate the multiquote function on the forums.

5 secs ago, was playing multiplayer endless game with my friend

Started a game, few second later, the WHOLE city is on fire/forest fire

and I crashed after seeing big fire on whole city.

The radar showed red dots and oragne dots everywhere

The buildings, trees, and everything (except cars) is on fire.

Oh, and I can't find K-9 Unit? is it in Police or Fire?

Thanks you.

[Jennifer93]

i dont know if this is a bug or not but when i have a officer at a Scene and another cop car comes normal as its on Patrol it does not redirect it just stays their and holds the traiffic up

Is there a way to make the police escort the ambulance to the hospital?

No, unless you're constantly transporting Britney Spears or the rare injured/fallen officer, police in Los Angeles do not provide ambulance escort. 1) numerous studies have shown that it is actually more dangerous due to increasing the number of C3 vehicles, and the behavior of motorists is to not expect more then 1 vehicle causing problems with the following units or the ambulance itself. 2) Think of the call volume for LA and the distance from any call to a hospital. The number of units needed to safely escort an ambulance, the time and effort it would take to actually do the escort, vs just letting the ambulance do what it does 10 to 20+ times every day without problem.

It's just more vehicles trying to get through more traffic, and causing more headaches. It only looks cool on tv, or in small cities. Even with a suspect in custody, an officer rides in back, and the PD car will follow, not lead, not block, not escort, but follow, usually code 2 and meet the ambulance at the hospital.

i had a fire in the tire building. when my FF were inside with a hose I deployed a gated wye. after the fire was over i was able to pick up the gated wye but he did not pick up the hose when he did this. I then clicked on my engine and it had lost all of its commands. the command box was empty. I had to shoot the truck and haul it off.

This is unfortunately one of the known bugs of the wye.

[Guest Fjolle89]

I don't know if this is the right place, but I think it is.

When my vehicles drive with full sirens and lights on, I saw that there were squares on the ground.

Is that a bug or something with my computer? I have never got this problem before I downloaded L.A Mod v2 o_O

Oh, I forgot to attach a screen from ingame in Freeplay.

Your friend probably used the DUSK cheat. It does that.

Police K-9 is in the police tab. Rescue Dog is in the medical tab.

@Fjolle89: Those 'squares' are from the game calculating the lights reacting with the environment. It is normal at least for me, and just a minor graphical thing.
