Good morning all. 0.9.1C is now live with some important fixes and additions. We added a Mission menu which shows you each call on each map and gives you option to force it without needing to go through every call to find the one you want including filters to make it easier to find specific call outs. We re added the fire academy in multiplayer. Synced all Car accident patients in Multiplayer properly, Added 10-45s to Manhattan Fires and more overall fixes. You can find the full notes below. We will continue our focus on EMS and Multiplayer continuing to fix issues that break the experience then shifting our focus onto fixing AI bugs and expanding upon that. LC has revisions coming to the MCPD Cars and a new Q Siren and other sound improvements coming in the next patch. I hope you guys are enjoying the game and thanks for your patience!

Hey everyone! This patch is to address issues from the last build and fix most of the things that broke after flattening the Montgomery County map like traffic, floating objects and emergencies. Below you can find the changelog of all that we fixed. Also to note we synced Smoke, Charring, Dynamic Destruction, and Fire Sounds for Multiplayer Clients so now the host and clients should see the same effects. (Previously only the host saw all effects and clients only saw fire and steam particles) there have been some other Multiplayer bug fixes which you can find below including syncing the fire victim move patient to stretcher so transport can be synced. This is not synced for car accident victims in multiplayer till next patch. We want to get the EMS foundational bugs fixed so we can begin to populate all maps with many more ems calls and variety. Many other fixes were done and this should improve your overall experience with the game. More patches will continue to follow these to fix remaining Multiplayer, EMS, and AI issues.

I've bought our Trello back to life and will now be using it for my bug tracking and will allow you guys to see real time info on what tasks I'm working on as well as what's been finished and what is planned for future updates. Its essentially a short term road map. Here is the link : https://trello.com/b/WjeqOEsL/emergenyc-development-map

We have decided to say so long to the outdated version of EmergeNYC on the default branch and now bring everyone up to speed on the latest build. Update 0.9.1 is now live on ALL branches.

This update we wanted to try to address some major road blocks in our way of moving forward as well as did some improvements across the board. One of the most reported feedback is that the Montgomery map is too treacherous and hilly so we did a complete facelift of the map to flatten it by 60%. It is essentially the same map but the terrain and roads have been flattened to make driving so much easier.



We wanted to address the main issues with AI and EMS being bugs like your QI trucks getting stuck on a building or other truck. When is situations like this now the AI will just teleport to its final destination instead of never showing up. We fixed issues with Patients spinning while on the stretcher and causing issues while driving the ambulance. All EMS Calls should now be able to be played through with little to no issues. We will continue to fix and update EMS and AI as we move forward.
