News regarding hose system + future updates


After the bug fixing this weekend I will begin on the firemen update. Lots of new features, coming. There will be lots of smaller updates in between starting on Monday.

Coming in the smaller updates
- New building fires, house fires, brush fires, and car fires around map

Hose situation

The current hose system is causing me a lot of backend problems. I have decided to remove it for now. There will be a completely new hose system coming after the trailer support for the tiller is completed.
I will put together a temporary system reminiscent of the PS2 game Firefighter FD18 where there is a short hose trail

Tower truck features two man bucket, with a controllable master stream, and scene lighting

There will be 4 different firefighters to choose from now. Each one can go down to civilian clothes, with a few different outfits to choose from. There are livable houses on the map with stuff to do around each one. Every player can spawn either a normal car/truck or a command SUV. They all have lights, only the suv will have sirens. Gear will be accessible through trunk of normal cars. Halligan, Axe, and Extinguisher can be found in the trunk of the SUV. This is so you may RP home response departments.

These systems are completely optional, and you may avoid them completely if you have no interest in them. All 4 different characters will be receiving station wear in the future as well. Fire houses will all be getting interactable doors, bay doors, and an in station alerting system. You will be able to turn off current cad notification as well. There will be pagers around the house, you may even hear the fire whistle blow from a distance.

The houses will act like the fire stations as you will be able to teleport to them, and see how many people are staying in each house

Things to do around houses, and fire houses (More will be added in the future)

- Take out trash
- Sweep up messes
- Clean toilets
- Sleep


There will be more expansions on the volunteering system in the future. I will also be adding a realism mode eventually which will also optionally include more sim elements that players should fine pretty fun.
