newspaper if it was cool (fixed)

[noble bridge]

dumb photoshop

[noble bridge]

I used the wrong county ambulance

[quick vapor]

Can't keep your tires in pz....

[pliant matrix]

they took my tires, can't have shit in muldraugh

[noble bridge]

BTW for anyone curious, it's the real period livery

[noble bridge]

This is the more accurate version because muldraugh is in hardin county, not meade county

newspaper if it was cool (fixed)

[pliant matrix]

actually, it's in both, and mostly in meade county

[noble bridge]

The mod i work with has it situated in the hardin county spawn zone

[red yacht]

is there a mod that adds something like this besides small town responders?

[noble bridge]

no, its too niche of a idea, STFR is the only one

[red yacht]

ah ok

that makes sense

I wish there were more mods like STFR that made the game world feel more accurate to IRL

imagine actual road signs

or something

that would be cool

[noble bridge]

i like the idea

like the STFR idea of period accurate things

but instead of first responders, signs and stuff

[red yacht]

yea in vanilla we get like..

'Muldraugh ▶️ '

and that's it

[noble bridge]

yeah

also, accurate locations instead of wrong locations

like bulletin county

because thats way south of the map

and louisville county being a reskin of the real jefferson county

[red yacht]

Bullitt county is like barely outside of the current playable area

If we ever get shepardsville

then it would be a part of the map

[noble bridge]

oh yeah fair

but you get what i mean

[red yacht]

oh yea ofc

[noble bridge]

bullitin county isnt in the playable area

• TIS sent hardin county to the backrooms

[red yacht]

they have shockingly bad knowledge of the area considering they've been making a whole survival game based off the area for a decade and a half

[noble bridge]

i feel like its a lack of attention as the devs being british, dont feel the need to google maps things

[red yacht]

yea lmao

british/canadian studio working on a game set in America

[noble bridge]

but im british, and i know every single first responder agency in 1993 knox area

[red yacht]

yea

TIS are weird

[noble bridge]

also

LVPD is just LCPD but altered

like different words, same logo

[red yacht]

oh lol

do you think they're gonna expand the map any more beyond what we currently have?

[noble bridge]

also if you think "oh its inspired", the 1780 date is on both

[noble bridge]

right now? nope, not for a few years

they took multiple years for the 3 towns and i feel like they wont work on the map for a while

[red yacht]

yea

true

Once b42 official tools release i can't wait for all of the map mods to be ported forward

[noble bridge]

in the TIS version of LV, the head seal seems to be replaced with the cross thing

[red yacht]

yea

[noble bridge]

which is a logo of lousivlle

but not jefferson county

the cross can actually be seen on the LVFD firetrucks of the period

[red yacht]

the car spawns don't even respect the towns that they spawn in anyhow though

like i swear i've found Louisville police cars in muldraugh

[noble bridge]

yep

the vehicles are just new vehicles, no actual spawn zones

[red yacht]

speaking of period accurate mods i saw this plan for better LV highways in the thread for Project Indiana

lemme find it

[noble bridge]

oh yeah

all of those highways no longer work

because the airport is there now

[red yacht]

Nah the airport is included

[noble bridge]

oh i assumed the airport came later

• LVRA is completely different IRL

its in the middle of the city, but due to LV being so much smaller, it dosent really work

[red yacht]

yea

that's the issue mostly

it's just scale

[noble bridge]

if i was to expand the map

id expand LV and make it even larger

add the parts of the city around the airport and stuff

louisville is quite large in game but most players have seen all of the city and theres no other places on the map to do city building

[red yacht]

yea other than the other side of the river across from LV

why am i a plunger now

[noble bridge]

your a recruit

[red yacht]

Oh cool

[noble bridge]

but yeah

[red yacht]

Seeing the zoo would be cool

[noble bridge]

bassicly just, TIS did alot of things wrong that others know alot about

[noble bridge]

oh yeah LV zoo would be cool

like animals that only spawn there

[red yacht]

PZ giraffes

[noble bridge]

or a chance for a event where the animals break out

[red yacht]

that would be cool

[noble bridge]

zombies dont attack animals because the virus wants to spread between people

also i doubt that TIS will mention any sort of plane crash out of LVIA just because of recent events

[pliant matrix]

this is what meade county looks like irl

you can see that it encompasses most of muldraugh

on google it's a lot more obvious, the red dotted line is the county line

[pliant matrix]

although muldraugh is a bit too far east in game

i kinda think adding louisville was a bit of a mistake on the dev's part because the map outside of louisville can be kinda close to accurate but louisville is massively shrunken down

[red yacht]

i don't think louisville's scale is the issue it's just the shape

[pliant matrix]

the river is a bit too short

[noble bridge]

oh yeah i know, i know these counties better then my own county

[noble bridge]

yeah, i mean "louisville" also has places like anchorage that are just deleted from existance

i think it was just an oversight on the devs thought process

[ashen lion]

thats so fuckin cool nice work

[noble bridge]

yeah, creating accuracy can makes things really nice

[ashen lion]

the google maps, topography for map designs, everyhing. chefs kiss 🤌

[noble bridge]

I got more

If your curious that two before muldraugh, that's west point

[red yacht]

where are you finding these?

[ashen lion]

damn bro you should work as an archivist or researcher thats sick. almost makes me curious about modding but i dont know jack shit about LUA haha.

[noble bridge]

I work on a mod that puts all of these into zomboid

These come from emailing the actual local governments and asking for archival pictures

We had a massive stock of pictures but the old co-owner got removed from the project and deleted the Google drive

[red yacht]

Woahh

[noble bridge]

The only ones not accurate to IRL 1993 kentucky are riverside and rosewood

For obvious reasons

[ashen lion]

bruh those looke more KY authentic than TIS's designs

[noble bridge]

That's exactly what it is lmao

This mod has existed for years before b42

We had SWAT units before b42 aswell

[ashen lion]

I actually think I may have had it and didnt even realize it wasnt TIS's stuff lmao its THAT good, well done sick af.

oh yeah i def recongize the KSP cruiser

[noble bridge]

Not to mention the bonus stuff

[ashen lion]

DAYUMMM

[noble bridge]

County school buses

SWAT units

Airport police and fire department

Oh and EHE helicopter support

[ashen lion]

Ive used someone elses AH64 mod, flight mechanics must be insane to program in an isometric game. theyre a bit wonky but cool af.

[noble bridge]

Yeah

Also if your curious

[ashen lion]

i wonder how Foxhole handles it, but their isometric engine is hyper unique

[noble bridge]

Louisville was not an international airport in 1993

It was only a regional one

[ashen lion]

DAYUMM the deep Bourbon Lore

[noble bridge]

Oh and no TSA

[ashen lion]

a simpler time

[noble bridge]

Because 9/11 wouldn't occur for another 8 years

But louisville division of police airport police did exist

[noble bridge]

Oh and just to the sweeten the deal

The mod works with

• vanilla (it adds new cars like a SWAT van before the B42 SWAT van was added)
• filibuster ryhmes (my favourite)
• VVE
• PZK (not my favourite)

Also there is fili - animated BETA support incoming once I get the code finished

Cause that's my project

Also I wanna recreate the newspapers like above but actually in blender, then make it so the mod overrides them so papers that show cops or cop cars, have the correct uniform

• the FBI guys might have FBI uniforms, cause we thought about adding federal agencies

[pliant matrix]

Man I’d really love a mod that makes the map more historically accurate. Muldraugh 1993 is so good I’d love more like it.

[pliant matrix]

I wish it would work with KI5

[noble bridge]

[pliant matrix]

?

[noble bridge]

The texture sheet sheet those cars are like trying to to paint a mona Lisa, whilst blind folded

I'm looking for the texture image to show

Compared to filibuster animated BETA

[pliant matrix]

good fucking god

i guess you'd have to use his regular police skins as a reference

it does make sense though given how detail-rich his work is

that man is a fucking genius in the car modding world

[noble bridge]

he is but damn is it a fucking puzzle

oh well actually this is the model?

i swear that above was the right one but they must have simplified it as some point

still, its alot more complicated then the filibuster one

[pliant matrix]

That makes sense, because the models are more complex.

[noble bridge]

yeah

[red yacht]

Woah

[solar bloom]

So glad I found this post

Thx @ashen lion

Love the vanilla vehicle enhancer so much!
