Alright besties. We're moving again. After a long long time of wading and wallowing in a lake of indeceison, my ass has been whooped into shape and some meaningful progress has been made with the team. We finally decided on a map area! 1:1 maps are hard but composite maps are hard too. After flip flopping between a dozen different ideas since the thread began, we finally decided to create a fictionalized, scaled, representation of the northeast section of Harlem, centering around the NYPD's 25th Precinct. By finally finding an area to focus on, we've unjammed the creative block we've all been suffering by trying to focus on so much to make. Now, we have specific, clear goals for what we're including, and with that we can move forward at an accelerated pace. So, to contradict my previous statement, expect some more screenshots and overall a lot more activity on the thread.3 points

It's a shame that so many projects just went to waste. I agree it can be time consuming, but they could have released a half finished project over say GitHub where members like myself could contribute patches and such over time or help further development in some way. Like the original NY mod. They showed screenshots and such for ages and it never saw a release.2 points
-
The mod is done. It just needs bug fixes and it's been over a year. No disrespect to any modders here but they killed this community by not releasing projects and giving false hope. Had the modders released projects, or at least issued bug fixes in this case, people would have had a reason to stick around. Instead we have things like the NY Mod that was teased for like 10 years and never saw the light of day. Even if it does get released tomorrow, it will never see the audience it would have seen.2 points

Quite a bit! I'm just terribly shy and I don't like to share my work until I'm totally confident in it's quality/"done"-ness. With that being said, I've stepped away from this project for a time to focus more on my collaborative project Project NYStalgia.2 points

Oh trust me, I get the growing up part. I don't have the free time I once did. However, the few remaining projects tend to have like 5 very accomplished devs working in Collab. They post an update once in a blue moon basically just to tease us of projects that will just waste away and never get to be enjoyed by the actual community. Hell I bet we see GTA6 released before we even see just a bug fix patch for Montana Mod 2.5 2.5 years after the release of 2.5(not the original although that would be nice too). How was the core fanbase alienated? I'd say we are the main ones breathing life support in to this forum. And yes forums have being more and more obsolete but check out some of the GTA mod forums. More then alive and well. Even some of the Sim City communities or Cities XL forums are absolutely thriving still.2 points

Somewhat recently, I've had an issue where a few of the textures in some mods (I've only really checked Wegberg, Fuchsburg, and Kieslingen) are white; I didn't have this problem when I first installed them. It's only a couple textures, for example the foam canisters and streetlights in Wegberg, the engineer in Kieslingen, and the Fürstenberg trailer and the tires of some ambulances in Fuchsburg. I've tried both verifying the installation of, and uninstalling and reinstalling both Wegberg and EM4, but neither worked. The only thing that worked was a complete reinstall of Windows, but now I'm having the same issue, and I'd really prefer to not have to do that again, at least not without finding out why this is even happening. I'm 99% sure it's not a graphics driver issue. The only thing I can think of that could have done this is editing some of Fuchsburg's textures in Paint.NET (just fixing mirrored text on one or two vehicles and replacing any Bieberfelde license plates with Fuchsburg ones, that sort of thing), but I didn't touch anything in Wegberg, so I'm really not sure what the problem is. None of the textures I have edited are the ones that look like this in the game. It might be worth noting that when I uninstalled and reinstalled EM4, I didn't restart the computer after uninstalling. Don't know if that matters. I did make sure to permanently delete the EM4 folder though, I didn't only hit "uninstall" in Steam.1 point

At this point, EMP might as well officially be dead. For years we were teased this or that mod or update was coming. At this point, about the last thing I can find is em-c Miami Mod advertised new models around Christmas. Almost 5 month later, still no release. Not to mention the year or two of advertised new models or whatever that have yet to be released like every other mod that seemed to be one last breath of fresh air. The modding community seems officially dead at this point.1 point

Hello, its been awhile, as some of you may know, a few years back, (2-3 I don't remember) I did an English translation of the RTS mod. Here is another update for it, I'd say its almost 99.9% perfect. If you find anything that needs fixed please email me at BrianD90@live.com or message me on here. Also, I may add a drug guide in the next version. Thank you. EDIT 11/09/2012 v1.8 has been uploaded, please re download. The only things I cannot to find to translate is the text that scrolls in the top when someone dies reporting the time of death and after you take someone to the hospital when it shows what you've done right or wrong across the top, anyone know where I can find this text? Once I find this text, I'll find and correct any remaining errors and release a final version (2.0) I'll include a drug guide with the final version if it has enough support so please let me know!!! Also, if I can get permission from the RTS team I may also replace the default ambulances and fly car with American units, and as to not represent a single US city, I may just go with a nationwide private service skin. Thoughts? RTS Bieberfelde English Translation v1.8.rar1 point

Surprise, It's still going! Since my last development photo I built a new computer at the start of 2022 which didn't have a drive to install the disk version of EM4 so it was only until recently I bought an external one to install it. I come back with a shot from the map which shows an electricity substation along with a construction site behind and more New York housing.1 point

Hi everyone, It's been brought to our attention that our CAPTCHA is not working properly and it's preventing new registrations.

Due to unforeseen issues encountered that we currently are trying to address the server had to be reset, because of this issues may persist which we will try to address if/when we can. Please be patient while we work through this process. We have also temporarily disabled the downloads section at this time, due to multiple reports of issues encountered with attempting to download from our database. We will have to look into this issue further since so many users have encountered this problem. We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate users understanding while we attempt to address these issues. It's a new server, and a new version of the software so we have to try to sort through things. Thank you for your understanding, EMP Staff1 point

This solution was shared to me a few months back and I got no improvement from it, however I was on an Nvidia GT430 at the time. Now I'm on a 1050Ti and I still get no difference, so it seems to be something unique to AMD cards. I never thought of this before. I will be pinning this thread so that other AMD users can see this and try it out. It might be placebo, it might be real. Until we figure out what fastcopy does, only then we can isolate what "task" is making Em4 slow down. A 5700XT absolutely should have no problems running Em4 at 100+ FPS, even on a mid range CPU.1 point

Because it's one of the most asked questions on the forum I made a list of what files have to be changed when you want to replace a vehicle in one of the fire stations. This includes changing the command to call it from the fire station. It's impossible to explain every detail in the script, so some scripting knowledge might be handy. It's NOT adviced to make any changes to the (bays of the) engine's and ambulances, because they have a far more advanced script logic. Patience is required to do this. Lets say you want to replace the USAR squad with the Watertender, because they have about the same size and only one of them can be parked in the bay. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Files which are necessary to change: LAFireStationStart.script (to spawn the vehicle at start) LAFireStation.script (for crew and gate information at fire station) LAToFireStation.script (park command) LABattalionChief.script (call command) Other: Adding the "Go to fire station" command to the new vehicle Removing the "Go to fire station" command to the replaced vehicle ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- LAFireStationStart.script First thing you can try is to let it spawn at the right spot with crew when you start a new game. LAFireStationStart.script does nothing more than that. Some analizing of LAFireStationStart.script reveals that the prototype of the USAR squad is mentioned in line 23. Changing that prototype to any other prototype is enough to spawn another object. in this case "water_tender.e4p". You don't need to change the constants or anything else. Same thing counts for other things explained later. When you further look for USAR, you should eventually find line 230 which should say ActorList l12 = Game::GetActors(VO_USAR); The lines below are important. They set number of passengers (and sometimes transports), speed and the crew that enters the vehicle at start. Notice the numer that is used in the crew line. The code of that line refers to another script and calls a single unit for that vehicle. The numbers refer to the certain unit (USAR firefighter in this case). List of possible units: 1 = FF/PM with case 2 = FF/PM's with stretcher 3 = FF/EMT 4 = Battalion Chief 5 = FF HAZMAT 6 = USAR FF 7 = FF/EMT's with stretcher ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Important tips: You can do millions of things with C++, it's impossible to explain everything, just compare your code with other codes in the scripts. For example: When you want to add 4 firefighters instead of 2 just look at other parts in the script. Besides that, testing is very important. If you fail first time, please try it again before going to the forum. And remember kids, it's like sex, you don't immediatly run to mommy and daddy when you can't get it up at your first date. That's it for now. I hope most people understand this. When I have more time I will see if I can explain the other scripts.1 point

Units xml has nothing to do with any of the custom equipment found in mods. You need to edit the script files. They contain the list of units that have the barricades. The scripts for ballistic shields, guns, and traffic cones also operate on the same logic.1 point

Download works fine. Not broken.(11/27/2014) For those of you who enjoy playing this game and using all the mods created by many other cool people on this forum. Here's yet another change you can make to the regular version of the EM4/911 FR(not the Deluxe version). I have enjoyed this game immensely and have really appreciated the mods created by others but I really couldn't get into the cartoonish supervisor who dispatched the calls for us to send units to. So, I decided to make a few changes to the "Supervisor" to suit my liking and hopefully add more Los Angeles-style realism to the game. So I have made it available for your enjoyment too. I listened to everyone's suggestions and recommendations and came up with second or enhanced version of the supervisor Video/Audio. I hope you like it. The changes:- Replaced the original British supervisor video with various dispatchers representative of Los Angeles (e.g. various people, video clips from 911 dispatch centers, ringing phones sound affects, etc)- I cleaned up the audio quality of the communications.- Included actual engine company names.- Updated a few radio codes used in the Los Angeles area Engine - fire engineSquad - squad truckSpecial Ops - USARRescue - ambulanceMCU - mass casualty unitRP - reporting party (civilian making the 911 call) Code 37 - stolen vehicle415 - public disturbance451 - arson488 - petty theft211 - robbery240 - assault How to install itThe files need to be copied into the Data/Lang/us/supervisor folder. It will overwrite the other files. Or you can simply just remove the original files, back them up and add the new ones. That's it. (All you're essentially doing is copying all my video files to that folder in the path mentioned above.) I used Premiere Elements to change the audio and video. I'm not sure how you would do this in any other DVD or video authoring application. File Specs:Video: 160x128 (so that it will fit inside the little screen that used to show the supervisor)Video format: MPG 1Audio: MPEG 1 Layer II, mono Additional Notes:It is also worth noting that this "Supervisor Mod" simulates Dispatch for the City of Los Angeles and technically not a Mod by the usual definition because the change affects the Freeplay section of the game including other installed Mods. So, instead of hearing and seeing the British guy, you'll experience a more realistic Los Angeles style dispatcher with background noise, phones ringing, and an American dispatcher. But, people seem to like it and request a version for the Deluxe EM4 which may come at a later point in time... This "modification" only applies to the EM4/911 First Responder version and NOT the Deluxe version. I'm not very good at this and I'm not sure if everyone will be satisfied (I'm not perfect) but hopefully you will like it and it will make your play more enjoyable. The files are compressed using the standard Windows Compression program. You just need to unzip them. PERMISSION: Feel free to use this in your mod if you wish. The only thing I ask is that you give props to whom it's due, namely me (Kareem).1 point -

Hoppah did a fantastic job with the LAFD mod for EM4, but it still seems a little out of place. The problem is with the narrator at the beginning of each mission. Instead of a narration on how to complete the mission, what about an actual fire department dispatch, like the ones on every episode of Emergency! It took me a while, but I have recorded and put together twenty separate dispatches for every mission in EM4. Just download the file and unzip it, then read the ReadMe text for instructions on installing the files, which is super easy. (I still can’t figure out how to add dispatches for Hoppah’s 10 custom missions; if anyone knows how, let me know and I’ll make some more) Just like in Emergency!, I used the original LA County Fire Department SCU tones from the 1970s for every station dispatch. I know what you’re thinking. Hoppah made the LAFD mod, not the LACoFD mod. In fact at this point, an LACoFD mod does not exist. Yes, I know, but I figured it was close enough. I’m a die hard fan of the series, and besides, I’m familiar with the dispatches from the county, not the city. (If Code Red ever goes to DVD, then I’ll be more familiar with the city dispatches) Also, using LACo gave me more flexibility in determining the locations for each mission. I did my best to utilize real world locations in LA County and the fire stations in those areas. Please keep in mind that I have zero dispatching experience; I did this based on guesswork, examples of dispatches archived on YouTube, and what I’ve seen on TV. Any faults with procedure in these dispatches are my own. Also, I realize that I do not have the quality of voice that Sam Lanier had, but I did my best. If anyone out there thinks they can do better than I did, by all means please contribute. The files were created with the following resources: Audacity, for recording my voice, reducing noise, and running the recordings through a high pass filter to get that microphone sound. The LACoFD website, with addresses and apparatus info for each station. Special thanks to www.policeinterceptor.com for archiving the LACoFD SCU tones. All the tones you hear in these dispatches are for the actual stations named. Special thanks to voodoocat and that1fail on YouTube for their mission play throughs, giving me an idea for what kind of units are needed for each mission. www.batchgeo.com allowed me to create a map of all LACo fire stations from an Excel file I made. Entering the station name, address, and apparatus info into Excel, I was then able to load it into Batchgeo and get a map of all the county stations. (I know there are iPad apps that can also give me a map, but I only discovered them afterward) A few years ago, the Army sent me to Fort Huachua, Arizona, for a training class. One evening I was driving on post and noticed that two cars had met in the middle of an intersection. It was a light collision and both drivers were fine. They were both on their cell phones, but neither had called EMS yet. Ironically, the collision took place right in front of a fire station. I parked my truck in the station parking lot, walked around to the front door and pressed the buzzer. As it turns out, it was the dispatch center for all of Fort Huachuca, overseeing two stations. Nobody at the station knew that there was a vehicle accident on their doorstep, but they got into motion once I told them. While the firefighters were getting ready, the dispatcher called it in. I swear, it felt as if I was in an episode of Emergency! A few notes about the missions: Mission 2: I took the liberty of using station 51 for this mission, basically because I couldn’t resist. In real life, station 36 and possibly 127 would get the call. (Nowadays, there really is a station 51 on the backlot of Universal Studios, specifically named in honor of the series) Mission 10: Southern California is nowhere near the Arctic Circle. In this case, I found a fire station in Anchorage, Alaska, that has a HAZMAT unit. The dispatch tells HAZMAT to go to an actual airfield for an emergency airlift to the polar station. I have no idea what dispatch tones that station uses, so I just picked a generic warble. Mission 11: There is no oil rig located outside of Marina del Ray. In reality, oil rigs are usually located several miles from shore so that nobody can see them from the beach. But for the sake of the scenario, I had to put the oil rig somewhere, and Marina del Ray is where the only two boats in the LACoFD are located. They are not equipped to fight big fires like this one though, so the dispatch also mentions fire boats from the LAFD. I do not know if Marina del Ray is actually where the LAFD boats are located. It’s just a game. Mision 13: Anyone who has driven on the 14 freeway past Santa Clarita has seen the open pit mine I describe in the dispatch. Mission 14: While looking for a tunnel in Southern California to use for this mission, I found out that the Newhall tunnel actually had a major vehicle accident and fire a few years ago, resulting in three fatalities. I decided to use that tunnel for this dispatch. Mission 20: Believe it or not, I could not find a YouTube example of a dispatch immediately following an earthquake, so I made my best guess. The tone you hear is a group call for all stations in LACo. Heavy Rescue 103: You will probably notice that Heavy Rescue 103 gets used an awful lot. That is because Heavy Rescue 103 is the only Heavy Rescue in the LACoFD. My apologies if it gets a little old after a few missions.1 point -
Fred would be right, it is a direct violation of the TOS to have two accounts, lost passwords can be reset so there really isnt a need to have created a new account.... I suggest you go through that process to recover the old account because the new one is going to get deleted in 2 days. It isnt too hard to request your password reset, it probrably takes more time to make a new account than to just reset the old.1 point
