I don't see why you should use tapertalk. Any regular phone browser works fine for EMP.

Anyway, I'd delete the cookies, history n cache from the phone and do a reboot.

That may work.

I dont think so, if there is an active shooter there is no need to set up a perimeter because you know where the suspect is and hes not going anywhere because hes shooting people. After Columbine Law Enforcement changed their training and tactics so they dont wait outside waiting for swat while people are being killed. Every officer should be  trained for this type of scenario now they may wait for a few more units to arrive so they can engage the shooter in groups which makes sense but you cant wait 30 minutes to an hour for the swat team to be called and hope for the best. And most officers carry rifles in their vehicles so im sure they are equipped to handle most situations. 

 

Ill give you an example the Shooting that recently happened at FSU that shooter was killed by patrol officers from the University's police department along with Tallahassee PD. In active shooter situations time is of the essence because you have to save as many lives as possible and i think because of their quick response they saved lives.

Well it depends on the situation obviously, but I hope to god it won't become SOP. Officers may be equipped, but they aint trained like HRT to deal with active shooters, especially when it comes to tactics (the T in SWAT). Imagine an active shooter in a big school or mall with plenty of exits and the first 5 cops armed with AR15's running inside within the first 15 minutes or so, trying to be all heroic. It's asking for a bloodbath. Especially if the situation is not anything like a suicidal lonewolf, which at that point isn't even known yet. You HAVE to have intel before you go in. Schools and malls are great for ambushes. 

A school shooting cannot be handled the same way as firemen running into a burning building like on tv.

There is definately a need to setup a perimeter.

Usually if they are responding to an active shooter they get permissions to use fire arms pretty easy.

Not really, unless its self-defense obviously. Responding police have to contain the situation by setting up a perimeter. Specialized police units like swat or hrt will actively engage the shooter(s).

If one wants to do harm he can and will. Security won't help imo, and barely as a deterrent. They merely create a false sense of security. A determined and prepared shooter will take out the poorly trained guard(s) first and continue to spread maham. Responding police officers usually have to abide by the protocol to contain the situation (a perimeter) rather then intervene immediatly. Only specialized police units will intervene by engaging the shooter and that unfortunately takes a while. Enjoy the remaining time in school living in constant -and well maintained- fear. If ya'll want to enjoy the perks of the (imo immensively outdated) 2nd Amendment you gotta live with the consequences too. Freedom comes with a price and shootings will continue to happen, it is what it is.

Thanks willowfork.

Don't forget the screen, keyboard, mouse and speakers if you're getting a desktop.

Saying that you wont buy the game because of one mod is actually really offending.

That says more about you than ChrisRuiz. The LA Mod got alot of non-Europian players interested in EM4 in the first place, including many of the current modders who are still building mods for EM4. Back then, there were NO alternative mods besides a shitload of German mods and a couple of very basic other Europian mods. EM4 (and EM5 too unfortunately) are very much aimed at the German market while there is a lot of interest in decent Americans mod for EM4. The LA mod provided a stable base for further development, including those of other mods. I still got a good and trustworthy reputation going on here apparently, so I don't think it's odd what he's saying if you try to look for the reason behind his post. Unfortunately, I haven't got much time to even try EM5 out and check whats all in there and what modding capabilities it has. So far, not much yet apparently...

Intel Xeon = Business CPU that could be part of the issues. 

 

Yes, the Xeon has a conscious so its aware when its NOT placed in a business environment and will automatically start failing when you try to boot a game on it. Something designed for the business market doesn't mean it's less useful for the consumers market. Same thing with certain types of cars basically.

I have the same computer as Stan just without Win 8.1 and I can run any game just as fine.

The like button is disabled for normal members, only staff can use it. It would probably get used for too much if it was active.

I can't use it either.

 I hope they gave hoppah early access because the game desperately needs him to fix it.

Unfortunately not no. 

It doesn't run on Ultra, period. I'm running a machine with one of the fastest graphicscards available and it doesn't run smooth at all at high. 

 

My impression? Meh, let's wait a year or two and see what happens. The game seems good enough, if they can fix these framerate issues then I'll like it good enough. Can't wait for mods to come out and enhance the experience! 

 

I also did a first impression video over here, by the way.

Thanks for the video.

CPU: Intel Xeon E3 1230v3 @ 3,3GHz

RAM: 2x 4Gb DDR3 1600Mhz

GPU: Gainward GTX770 Phantom 2Gb

 

Sounds familiar.

Plus, Hoppah said his computer would be unable to run emergency 5. Unless he got a new one or upgraded his, the LA mod could be made by anyone with serious modding skills.

 I have a new computer. My old one died a month ago. But with all the performance issues I wont be getting EM5 any soon anyway. Graphics are pretty, but the gameplay doesn't appeal to me yet. Feels like a been there done that job to me. In regards to modding, I unfortunately have a fulltime job now and I don't feel like to do another overhaul mod from scratch anymore. It's too time-consuming. I have way less spare time than I had until like a year ago. So that means no more working full days on mods for me, which are kinda vital imo if you want to move that huge pile of work for a totally brand new mod. I'll be monitoring EM5 and the forums though and see what it brings (modding-wise). Perhaps I'll get interested later.

Huge, huge frame rate issues. The game runs at no more then 30FPS at High (2560x1440 and 1920x1080) and drops to as low as 10FPS at larger scenes. Basically making the game near unplayable for me. Besides this I also have random crashes where the game goes completly black, displays an error that quickly disappears and then crashes to my desktop. I run the game on Steam with the 1.1 patch.

 

Running on a;

CPU: i7-4770k

GPU: GTX 780 Ti

Memory: 16GB DDR3 1600Mhz 

Screen(s): 2x U2711 @ 2560x1440

 

Issue persists even when turning one of my screens off and reducing the resolution on the remaining screen down to 1920x1080. 

Wow. no buy fer me any soon.

So what will I be looking for?

 

With a list that long, it's very likely you're going to disappointed. Game looks nice, but I've seen nearly 0 new content compared to EM4 besides a couple of small things.

$50/hr

edit:

€50/hr

Em 5 should be a vast improvement. 

Or a vast disappointment, depending on the the way you want to see that.

Aint simple

Try

float NA = ((float)Math::rand()/(float)Math::RANDMAX)*1000;

Not sure if it works, scripts always act weird.

Try adding the following below that to see what value it spits out (in the logfile):

System::Log("NA: %d", (int)NA);

Good luck!

My guess is the exporter rounds off the exported uvmap values for a v3o. While in zmod you can do the uvmap very precisely, the exported v3o doesnt do decimals. Therefore the exported files have rounded off uvmap values. They usually not noticable, but that may explain the slight distortation in v3o files

Not for this moment no. EM4 came with a ModInstaller which works just as fine. Perhaps even faster because you only have to double click the e4mod file.

My guess you lost the alpha channels and that messed things up.

Shit, I wanted to name my clan Every Other Cuntface, but I guess I can't. The abbreviation is already used. *sad

Yay I don't even meet the minimum requirements, although it doesn't mention the minimum gpu requirements.

They sound like requirements for the upcoming pc release of GTA 5 or the next Battlefield or something too be honest.

*no em5 for hoop

you can open a person with Zmodeler 3 and even animate them! 

Cool, do you have a link where i can download new animations?
