Foreword to Version 2.0.0
Version 2.0.0 marks the beginning of a new era for Emergency One. Following the recent split of the original Lüdenscheid team, our project is now continuing with a fresh focus. Starting with this version, our mod includes the maps Brandstedt (BST) as well as the updated version of Linzing (LNZ). All features / bugfixes for the plugins were made by Digital195 from the LDS team.
We would like to thank everyone who has accompanied and supported us so far. Your feedback, motivation, and commitment mean a lot to us.
Another important thing for us is that this is the first version of Emergency One. We have adapted everything as best we could. Please bear with us if there is still an old logo somewhere or an error occurs. Please post bugs / problems in the appropriate forum.
We look forward to everything that lies ahead – together with you.
Thank you very much – and here's to a strong future!
Your
Emergency One Team

2) Revised settings (new: "Events") (Feature by Digital195)
3) New settings options in the main menu:
a) Driver required (vehicles without personnel can no longer be moved) (Feature by Digital195)

4) Emergency personnel can now "grab" civilians and thus lead them away (Feature by Digital195):
By selecting any police officer, people can now be "grabbed." By right-clicking on the icon, the police officer will stop the person.
This is what it would look like. To release the person, press the "Release Person" icon again.
5) Adjusted fire spread
6) Added battery disconnect icon (Feature by Digital195)
7) Updated alarm and response regulations in the game
8) Removed masks for personnel (Feature by Digital195)
9) Improved patient boarding for the Large Ambulance. Commands can now be issued multiple times from the vehicle using Shift. (Feature by Digital195)
10) New animation when "Opening" the Large Ambulance
11) Revised building types for events on BST & LNZ
12) LDS settings further split. New Submenu: Event (Feature by Digital195)
13) Spanish translation of the mod included (Feature by Digital195)
14) Preset logic for Equipment / Commands / Suits added to ensure consistent equipment on all three maps (not yet fully implemented) (Feature by Digital195)
15) Background music re-enabled
16) Performance improvements for various commands (Feature by Digital195)
17) Firefighters return to their initial position after executing an action (Feature by Digital195)
18) For Tankers, the pump must now be started before the deck gun (/roof monitor) can be used (Feature by Digital195)
GUI:
1) Various images replaced (loading screens, main menu, launcher, ...)
2) The alarm menu now includes the "Siren Alarm" function (checked = siren (Volunteer Fire dept. only); unchecked = gong (Volunteer Fire dept. only)) (Feature by Digital195)
Events / Features:
1) New event added: "World War II bomb found" (Feature by Digital195):
A blue circle appears on the minimap. This circle indicates the radius within which people can be evacuated. If the World War II bomb detonates, this is also the approximate blast radius.
As marked in red above, people can be evacuated, but this is not mandatory.
People with this icon above their head can be evacuated from the area. They will be injured if the bomb detonates.
Witnesses will leave the evacuation area on their own after being questioned. The World War II bomb must be defused by the bomb squad (MARTHA 73-01 USBV vehicle). If this succeeds, the bomb must be removed. If the World War II bomb detonates, all fires must be extinguished and the injured must be rescued.
People can be evacuated by "grabbing" them, → see point 1. Otherwise, police officers equipped with a megaphone can be used to clear the danger area. It is important to make sure that no other people enter the evacuation radius (sidewalk, etc.). The entering can also be prevented by using a police megaphone. Deploying units from the riot police battalion (50/01/02/03/04 , 52/01) is recommended here.
These missions are prototypes and thus will receive further options.
The public announcements from Crew Vehicles have no effect on the evacuation.
2) Adjusted the "Defective Elevator" event: Reduced the number of firefighters required (4 to 2).
3) Numerous new scenarios added to existing events.
4) Over 20 bug fixes for existing missions.
5) First "in-house" missions implemented as prototypes.
6) New logic implemented for Modular Event: Car battery. These can be disconnected by a firefighter (axe). If you don't, the vehicle may catch fire (optional task) (Feature by Digital195)
7) Police units now pack up deployed equipment (e.g. cones) when returning to base. (hold Shift + E to leave everything behind) (Feature by Digital195)
8) New command to select "free"/unoccupied firefighters with the squad leader (Feature by Digital195)
9) New "Clean Up All" button for all vehicles (above the vehicle image in the GUI) (Feature by Digital195)
10) Police officers are now required to accompany criminals to the hospital (logic for Doctor ad police escort completely revised) (Feature by Digital195)
11) New audio for the Disturbance of Peace event.

Functions and effects of the various setting options:
1) Disconnect Battery: For traffic accidents, the battery must be disconnected on vehicles that are not burning (using the axe) & proper fire protection must be set up.
2) Faster Patient Transport --> If an ambulance picks up a patient, the mission is immediately marked as completed. The ambulance still drives to the hospital as usual.
3) Faster Towing --> Same here: Tow trucks pick up cars, mission ends immediately. Tow trucks still drive to the impound lot.
4) Faster Police Transport --> Same here: Suspects are loaded into the vehicle, mission ends immediately. Police car still drives to the station.
5) Faster burial (Same here.)
6) "Fog of Fire Mode": The scene of the incident is only revealed when the first vehicle is reached.
a. "Always" = for every incident from EM One (EM2017 or similar excluded)
b. "Random" = 50/50% chance that FOF mode will be activated.
c. "Never" = setting is deactivated.
7) "Activation of Sirens" (Vehicles): Changes how sirens activate. The siren automatically turns off shortly before arrival. At night, the siren sounds only at major intersections. Warning: this setting reduces performance!
8) "Rescue Service Warnings": When active, various announcements are made for patients requiring emergency doctors, including helicopter dispatch calls. Examples include: “(audible ping) An emergency doctor is required for transport” and “An emergency doctor is required for treatment,” etc.
