    It is with great displeasure that I have to announce my departure from the Emergency 4 modding community as a whole.

    Montana mod will still be released - it is still being worked on by Bama1234. He has taken back possession of the mod and will be its' sole caretaker until it is complete,

    Recent events involving the unauthorized monetization of my content have led me to this decision. The other day, I found that a Cities Skylines modder ran a Patreon page that advertised conversions on "early access" for his/her Patrons. Money is being exchanged for access to this content. Among the content is a model that looks to be my and Yankee43's 2020 Ford Explorer model. 

    You can also see the USFS truck from the Los Angeles Mod in this photo.

     This picture helped me identify the model as being mine, due to the distortions in UV mapping that match my style.

     DO NOT SEND HARASSMENT OR HATE TO THIS INDIVIDUAL. If you do, you are considered dead to me. They deserve due process and privacy as much as I do.

    Patreon's support has been less than helpful, and there is no way for me to make a 100% conclusive identification due to this mod author's act of locking models. As the accuser, I need to have proof of my allegations, however I am unable to do that because all I have are low resolution pictures. In order to make a full confirmation, I need to open the model and compare its shape and form with mine. I also need to see the textures and UV mapping templates because these are things that are unique to the person who made the model.

    Its a paradox: the only way to access those files is to pay this individual for my own content. Unbelievable. Now, even if that were to be achieved, I would have to overcome the model locking in order to make a wireframe comparison in 3D software. So far, my attempts and that of other users have been unsuccessful, but we will see, maybe another solution can be found.

    Another big problem is that the model itself is not uploaded on Patreon, but on Steam. Patreon only has the pictures of the content and cannot enforce this guy from uploading it to Steam. There's nothing I can do while this individual profits from our work. I have fallen into a gray area and none of the competent authorities are willing to address my issue.

    There is no solution for me to have the content taken down and the user be held accountable for making money from content that was made by me and another person. We worked very hard to create that vehicle and it is absolutely heinous that someone is making money from work that they did not do.

    Also, there is nothing stopping this person, or any individual from monetizing the work of other Emergency 4 modders. This is a new issue that everyone should be aware of when releasing content here.

    I did not mod Emergency 4 in order to become someone else's slave.

    I have found that the system does not favor creators but only those with power, influence and money. And so with that in mind, I have decided that I have better things to do then get screwed over again and again by every authority that's supposed to "stand for me".

    I shall retain the moderator position here and will be manually approving all accounts registered to here. I will also still be on the lookout for instances of content misuse on this site.

    I will post updates on another thread regarding what's going on but for now, goodbye.

    Such a shame itchboy. Expected more things from you.

    I have never used a steam, and not going to install it because people use it. Its up to people to install the mod anywhere else than 1.3 deluxe version on witch it is created.

    My data game folder is 2 GB, it is laughable even to argue about in 2019.

    Dang. Thats large

  3. Hello EMP, Today I will be discussing a mod idea which I am looking for the communities Opinion for. I am doing a Retro mod which is going to be Suburban like but with rural parts. It will be based of the 80's/90's.

    I added a poll guys,I would like to see your preference of unit.The unit in question is being made and will be revealed soon...

    The reason for this is because most of the new trucks will be Dodge.There are still Fords in service,so for variety sake I thought it would be good to have at least one in the game.

    That's my thinking,anyways let me know what you guys want.

    I have a feelin its LACoFD squads  lol.
