Better EMS 4.1b

I'm really tired and need to go to bed :p But it sounds really good! I can't wait to try it out. Thanks for the mod! The responding from a station sounds awesome!!

hory shet!! this is gonna be fan-friggin-tastic!!! i definitely cannot wait to throw this sucker in my game!! thanks so much

Awesome! Simply awesome! I never felt the desire to have things related to ambulances, but this makes me want to call them for every situation now :D

I have a few suggestion if you don't mind. I guess some of them can most likely not be done easily, but oh well :)

• It would be sweet to choose which of the ambulance and firedepartment you want. For now, it dispatches both, but sometimes you just need ambulance (maybe it's the "law" in the US to send both, I don't know)
• Sometimes I want to call an ambulance just so that they check the ped, even if he's not lying down half dead. For instance, at the end of the kidnapping call. It would be nice if they would check a particular ped (I guess this one is tricky to do as you need to figure out a way to point a ped... Maybe like the towtruck system?)
• When they arrive on scene, make them go out of the car/truck even if there's no injury. Like maybe get them walk to me (the officer who called) and then make them leave the scene. So then from that on we can roleplay a bit more :)

Really looking forward to future versions :)

The most important factor for me will be whether the EMS driving has now improved?

We all know and hate how default LSPDFR Ambulance drivers are stupid and will routinely get stuck or crash into things at high speed.

If they drive slower at the scene, and maybe manouvre more carefully. Then this Plugin will have done everything I needed it to do <3

That said, I love the sound of the joint Fire,EMS response. That Lifeguards can respond on the beach. And that they actually do CPR instead of just staring at the body.

I think it just needs an Air Ambulance option like in Wilderness Callouts now to finish it off. So you're not waiting ages for an ambulance in the middle of nowhere! (ie, Raton Canyon).

Can't wait to try this out.

Suggestion, the ;: key is ambulance (EMS) only and "' key is fire truck (fire fighting) only and L is both. Also at the end i think a report should pop up like Brish policing script court cases and something like that

Maybe even get the to park behind you so they are not blocking traffic

Quick question, How does EMS respond to revived Suspects? Are they taken to the hospital? Are they with an officer? Or what happens if we stop the suspect after revival, will this bug the EMS out?

I am planning to work on giving the option of whether to send the fire department. It isn't the "law" in the US, but it's very common for the fire department and ambulance to respond. 

As to your second point, I'm working with albo to integrate this plugin with arrest manager, so that you can take a ped you've arrested, or one you've "grabbed" (like the taxi feature it has now) and send them with EMS instead of taking them to jail. 

And, I am also planning to add more interaction and dynamic behaviors on scene. Wanted to get the mod out for you all to enjoy, but I am going to give them animations, have multiple medics stand by one body if they have nothing else to do, etc.

The GTA V driving AI is what it is. However, to avoid the issue you talk about where the AI slam into everybody at the scene, I have set it up so that when they get close to the scene (you can change in the INI file how close), they will slow way down (you can configure the speeds in the INI file as well). It works pretty well - they might occasionally bump into a car, but shouldn't be mowing down people. I would like to add air ambulance functionality eventually, but that's a whole additional complicated thing to do well, and Wilderness Callouts does already offer it.

I have plans to eventually give more granular control over what units respond. A report does show up at the end, you can see it in one of the screenshots.

Revived suspects are taken to the hospital like any other patient. I am planning to eventually add a feature to request a police escort for suspects taken to the hospital. 

@Alex_Ashfold it seems a bit unfair to give a lower review rating for lacking a feature you want, if all the features it's advertised as coming with work as expected. Feature suggestions aren't really a "review". That said, I am considering adding some functionality to let you start helping injured peds before EMS gets there, which would boost their probability of survival. I'll also eventually be making it so if a ped is clearly beyond saving, they won't try CPR, and if a ped has light injuries (like hurt on the arm from a car crash) they might be revived without requiring CPR. Definitely plenty of room for improvements to make it more realistic, but I hope you enjoy what's available now.

If you could add the air ambulance, it would be great to choose which livery it uses as in the newsheli pursuit mod by albo.

Not one of those little pop up reports on the side of your screen, something like 

*original photo from albo's British policing script court system

Looks amazing! Can not wait to load this in my set up. If we only had a "Better Police" mod..... hmmm...

Hum for me it still shows I have put 0 stars even though It put 5 stars. I don't hoe it an be fix, your mod absolutely do not deserve 0 stars.

Its called LSPDFR+ by Allbo

I can't put props (hats and helmets) onto Paramedic and Firefighters through the XML file... Why? I added a "prop_head="1"" behind <ped> alreadly.

Great mod but as soon as the vehicles get close my game crashes.

I will look into this and let you know. Can you upload your XML file? 

@LondonPoliceMods you can configure vehicle liveries in the XML file.

EMSUnits.xml

A great mod, no doubt. But one thing would be great. A additional file where one is able to assign addon cars to the pool of possible cars responding.

You can do this in the XML file. 

FYI, RPH 0.40 was just released so the mod is throwing dependency out of date. I had an LSPDFR crash just now but nothing was logged, this is the only plugin I have that's not passing checks so just FYI at the moment.

If I get more information on the crash I'll post it.

The version check just checks to see if the dependencies have the version expected. As far as I know, RPH 0.40 is backwards compatible with 0.39, so it should work fine. I'll upload an updated version in the next couple days, but if you had a crash I doubt it's BetterEMS. Feel free to upload an RPH log file though if you think it might be related. 

Is it normal when I get EMS dispatched I get a firetruck every time. Is this how it is done in LA County? I live in NJ and I am a EMT and when I get dispatched for a medical call, we do not get a fire truck unless we request it. However with that being said, we do get called out for structure fires with the Fire Department.

Would it be a possibility to get a button just for EMS? Then a button for just a fire truck? Then another button for both EMS and Fire at the same time?

AWESOME AWESOME PLUG-IN, NO CRASHES FOR ME AND VERY VERY STABLE!!

I'm not from CA, although my understanding is that in the LA area it is pretty typical for a fire truck to get dispatched to most medical calls. Where I am in the pacific northwest, we pretty much always see a fire department unit responding first. 

I've heard from numerous people that they find the fire response unrealistic for their area, so I'll be working on an update to give an option for separate responses. In the meantime, you could edit your XML file to make it more realistic by changing it from a fire truck to something like an EMS flycar - if you don't have an appropriate add-on car, you could use a white FBI2 SUV with the paramedic peds.

Roger that. I haven't had a crash since and called EMS twice, must have been a freak crash since I haven't changed anything.

On another note I had a weird situation where an ped became aggressive again and started attacking me while EMS was still working on him and he was invincible! I wasn't recording unfortunately. :(

Was it during an active callout which might have its own ped AI? The peds are set invincible while being treated, but they shouldn't ever attack. Something would've had to have messed with its tasks and cleared out the animation task. If you can figure out what callout might have been running I can try to work with the developer to ensure compatibility. I have it set to suppress the LSPDFR API from messing with "dead" cops when a pursuit is still active, but I don't think I can do the same for suspects.
