Help please, I downloaded the L.A. mod for emergency 3 from hoopah but i don't know how to get the mod to work in the game. I have the file but the file is not in the game help!!

Hello, I bought the downloadable version of E3 from StrategyFirsts online shop, have installed it fine, game plays fine, but when I try to run the ModInstaller it says "Emergency 3 is not properly installed. Please reinstall." I've already tried reinstalling but it didnt appear to help, any tips?

Ok, so I have been playing and having a great time with the game for about a week or so. I have passed about 5 or 6 missons. The other day I desided to play with the graphics settings in the game, I did it once before just changing the resolution. This last time I changed it, it made the screen image so large you could only see about 1/4 of the main screen, the area where you decied what you want to play and how to play it. For some reason I closed the game down because that was about the only thing I could see and click on. After that every time I click the sortcut on my desktop, I get a message that the exe as stopped working and windows needs to close the program. I tried many times to open it, but the same thing over and over keeps happening. I finnaly desided to uninstall the game, restart the computer, and load it up again, just like I did when I first bought the game and downloaded it form Stargaty First's website. But now It's still is happening and the game will not open, it just keeps saying the exe has stopped working. I am crushed, I love this game. I just don't know what to do. I figure it has something to with the resolution change I did a day ago. The problem is I can't change the resolution of the game without running it first. I gess uninstalling it did not change back the resolution to the way it was the first time I opened the game. I am running windows vista and have never had a problem with the game running or crashing, it has been smooth and perfect up till now. Please help with any suggestions. I have to go to work now and will check in when ever I get the chance. THANKS

every time i go to play emergency 3 it waits a second and then there is an error message that says "em3.exe has stopped working" anyone know whats wrong or what i can do to kix it? I hav vista so is there a patch i can download? thanks

Hello all, as a well rounded forum member I would like to help out some of you who may not have accounts, and to help prevent some useless topics from starting up I would like to help clear up many of the common issues associated with the game. Also this page will always be under construction so keep looking in if you can't solve your problem. Also if a mod/admin would wish to make changes, please do so, but make sure you use the "Edited by line" and please use the template I've been using as well. First, I would like to point out all the mission walkthroughs are here made by our very own "Ash" and "PyroThijs" thank you. Before posting here I would suggest reading these. Second, when you "use" rescue dogs, it doesn't mean look for five seconds and give up. To make a complete sweep of the mountain area where the skiers are in the avalance mission takes about 4-5 minutes, also people are on different floors. Several Mission "Help mes" MISSION 5 - HIGHWAY CRASH Walkthrough here This mission can be hard for the unexperienced Emergency player, as it draws back themes from the original game. There are two objectives that people get hung up on. OBJECTIVE- SECURE THE SCENE OF THE ACCIDENT All you need to do is send in an engineer in an engineer's truck to an overhead highhway sign, there is a specific one, look for one that appears blank, and follow it to the grassy side, there will be a switch there, have your engineer get out and flip the switch, and the sign will light up. OBJECTIVE- DISPEL THE BYSTANDERS FROM THE LANE Okay I'll admit this is a bit lacking on the details, but what you need is either a police psycologist or a policemanofficer to question the rubberkneckers in the lane going the opposite direction. (The one that still has cars flowing through it. Have a helicopter with onne of the forementioned units land by the people standing out of their cars gawking at the accident, you don't need to arrest them, only question them, they will fuss and whine but leave. STILL STUCK? STILL SUCK? HERE'S A VIDEO WALKTHROUGH. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FLgkz58niEE MISSION 6 - BUNJEE JUMP ACCIDENT Walkthrough here This mission is mind numbingly easy, for a normal player, which is why I'm confused as to why it's early in the game. Oh well. The two main things here are location and the whole rescue the person from the bridge crap. OBJECTIVE - RESCUE ONLOOKER FROM TRACKS - This is easy, the train comes from one side but it's better to shut down both tracks, send in a RW with a firefighter, and a RA, along with two engineer's cars with one engineer a piece. Each engineer should take one signal, the signals can be found on the far ends of each train track, while the engineers are doing this, start making a bridge. OBJECTIVE - FIND THE TWO JUMPERS This one they are relativly close together. One is in the lake thrashing around like a 80's action villian on PCP and the other is in the under brush around the inlet over the rail tracks, there is a dead cat under a big rock which will throw off a search dog. But just search farther up the shore the person will be under a tree, you really don't need a search dog as you can see the person moving under it, to get the person out from the shore and into medical aid you must use either the medical helicopter OR the motorboat. STILL STUCK? STILL SUCK? HERE'S A VIDEO WALKTHROUGH. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G7Iyg5HnaGQ MISSION 8 - WATER PARK ROOF FAILURE Walkthrough here I think that this mission is one of the most help requested, due to the fact that there are so many people in the place and because it's one of the first missions where the player has to actually look into searching for people while there are bits of the roof falling, plus the idiot civilians keep trying to come in. (Hath humans beeen absent of common sense?) OBJECTIVE - RESCUE AND TRANSPORT ALL DEAD AND INJURED Okay so here are the victim locations compiled in some screen shots. --screen shot omitted until I can find it on my computer -- As you can see they're scattered around but it's not that hard to see them. There is one on the frint lawn but that's it for people outside of the dome.There are very few people inside the dome covered with debris, and they're moving so it should be easy to spot them. STILL STUCK? STILL SUCK? HERE'S A VIDEO WALKTHROUGH. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AfZ-lqkCRTs

Before anyone jumps down my throat about it, I know there is a walkthrough. :-) My issue is not in finishing the mission at all, it's in finishing it with 100%. I can easily finish the mission but have not been able to get 100% after many, many attempts. The only place I am losing points is in the "Prevention of personal injury and material damage" criteria. So here's what I've successfully done. I was able to clear the concourse entirely, seeing the green dot appear in my tabbed objectives list. I cleared it with the helicopter announcement and then drove the psychologists around with police officers in mini vans "arresting" those that remained and driving them outside of the concourse. I suspect my loss of points is for where the train punches through the outside of the building causing collateral damage. I have tried moving the vehicles there, grabbing the people out of the way with fire fighters and what have you, as well as redirecting traffic in the street. If anyone has any suggestions as to where my elusive 25% is, I'd greatly appreciate the insight. Thanks! -Braindeg

I need help beating the prototype crash at the military base (mission 21) on EM3. I got all the wounded personnel outside and the two in a building, but it say's that I have more to attend to. Can someone help me.

Hi, I need help with mission 8 (water park). I've read the walkthrough that is posted here (thank you) and i've done everything i supposed to do. I get all the injured people out and use my firefighters to grab the uninjured people and take them out of the dome, but the mission objectives are still red and the mssion does not end. What am I doing wrong??? Is there a person hidden somewhere? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

How do you exstinguish the flames at the house? I have sent 5 tenders and 4 fire fighters to the scene and it still grows out of control?

I can get to the end of the mission everything is clear, BUT how do you clear the LANE of the bystanders??????? I tried about everything. Can anyone help THANKS

Is it possible to let the fire grow and have it burn down the trees and then put it out when it starts reaching civilization?

Hi, Is there anyone with german version of the game? I have english version, and i want vehicles in other colour (THW in blue, police in green). I simply want to change the version to german, in fact. EDIT: Yes I tried to download other versions, but they all were english ... I couldn´t find one that is german

I made a new millitary base in the editor with the la mod. I can't open it in the game. P.S. how do I put the pics in a post?
