Hotfix for vehicles not driving and more! + Preview of Rescue Engine for MC
Hotfix Changelog:
Fixed code to set all hoses to 2D by default unless 3D Hoses are enabled
Fixed an issue where most units would not drive forward
Fixed a repetitive error with the fire ambulance siren
Fixed an error in the fire script
Fixed an issue where roto rays would not light up last build
We've decided to move the staging branch into a development build status. The only downside to a development build is that whenever an error is thrown it will show up in red letter in a console on the bottom left.
The console is scripted to be closed every frame however if there is a repetitive script error running every frame it will stay showing the errors. The benefits to using development builds is that any script changes or fixes we do can be patched to the steam branches in a matter of 5-10 minutes over the 3 1/2 hours it takes to make the same fixes on a full build. Other benefits include being able to profile the development builds with Unity to profile for lag and spikes. Certain other changes and fixes such as fixes and changes to vehicle prefabs, emergencies, scenes etc need to have a full build redone as they are not included in script only builds. However many things are fixable through simply scripting a fix and can be patched in minutes with a development build. No more needing to wait hours for simple script change hotfixes.
What to do if an error is repeating in the console and won't disappear: click open output log and scroll to the bottom of the log to see which error is repeating its self and send it on any of our forums for me to fix the error and patch it.
LC has been behind the scenes improving upon the current MC units. The most significant change is his changes on Engine 2 to turn it into a Rescue Engine with extra tools and equipment. While doing so he went ahead and gave them a new color scheme and decals + lighting. He also experimented with Engine 1's color scheme which is not final and subject to change depending on the feedback from you guys. The fire chief SUV was given a maroon color. With all of these changes it made me wonder if I should implement a customization option for the fire units in MC to change things like the color schemes and siren + lighting packages. Let me know what you guys think of the idea.
