Yes im fully aware i just find it totally inefficient and a waste of resources they could easily give you the option to allow the doctor to ride in the ambulance.

I agree with what everyone is saying yea the graphics look great but nothing much has really changed im really irked that they brought the doctor car back. That will be the first order of business, i do however like the map change i think it makes more sense to have all of the events take place on the same maps and map editing should be easier. In terms of game play nothing appears to have changed there's no new scripts or options we cant even control the lights or sirens! I was also hoping the events would be dynamic but they are the same too just spawned boring. In my opinion because they are a small developer and they are aware of the large modding community such as this one and all the advances in gameplay that modders have made. They are just being lazy and cheap and figure that whats the point in adding all this content into the game when the community can do on their own. They are just going to give us the bare necessities as usual. As for emergency 4 content i think most of the newer mods will be comparable if not better than the units in emergency 5 which aren't going to be anywhere near as detailed. I just hope there is a way to transfer or convert the content so we wont have to start all over. I just hope modding is easier for newbies like my self so we can get alot of new content into the game quickly.

Map is looking good! have you done any work on the map?? I have some basic map skills but im sure your looking for someone who can do everything.

I cant speak for other people but i voted for your skin i think it was the best and since this is a skinning contest it was the better skin in my opinion. I do kind of agree with your point though when you see a news van they always have the transmitting tower on top and some people may have just saw that it based their decision based on that. As for the pictures i like the scene pictures you did and it really showcased the skin and engaged the viewer into the skin. Again i cant speak for others but i don't know if the picture style really had any impact. However i don't think you guys should fight over such trivial matters you both made great skins and both of you are winners so lets move on and i look forward to more great skins from both of you!

Very nice! I love how the new map is looking, i always say the map makes the mod.

I second that! Although we know its gonna be a hot minute for the next version its still kinda of misleading/disappointing.

In light of all the new information that has been released im leaning more towards the side of the officer. We now know the victim was not as innocent as he was portrayed to be and had committed a crime before his death his friend even admitted it. And hes pretty big guy too so if the officer was in a struggle over his weapon then he could be at a disadvantage and the officer may well have been in fear for his life. Furthermore the officer in question has been in Law Enforcement for 6 years and has no record of disciplinary action, i don't think he did this maliciously and in fact feared for his life. Now apparently the officer didn't stop the victim because he was suspected in the earlier crime but because they were walking in the street. So how could this have possibly escalated into a deadly force incident, unless something happened such as the victim attacking the officer or vice versus. I do feel bad for the victim and his family but i think there is more to the story then the media is spinning to us the police don't just shoot citizens armed or unarmed for no reason. There has to be an articulated threat but you cant legally define that only how a reasonable person in that same situation would react. I just think its interesting how one incident out of so many can captivate an entire community and then spread like wildfire throughout the nation and the world.

I want to believe that the police are in the right and support their actions but the fact of the matter is a police officer shot and killed an unarmed man. Anytime this happens there is going to be criticism and outrage over the actions that officer took. But we may never know what really happened in this case because we only have one side of the story and that is the officer's. Now we do have a witness but eyewitness testimony is incredibly unreliable and the witness is the friend of the victim so that makes him impartial to the victim. If that officer was truly in a fight for control of his weapon then i support his decision to use deadly force. Now there has been conflicting information about how the victim was shot so we may never know the whole story. As for the actions of the officers in the aftermath and the riots yes they did some bad things and probably violated the rights of citizens, but you have to put yourself in their position. A whole community basically hates you right now and are angry and possibly violent. There has already been one incident involving a citizen pointing a weapon at an officer. These officers are under alot of stress and pressure to keep public order and also ensure the safety of the community their fellow officers and themselves. That being said bringing in an outside agency is the best decision because they will be impartial and the community wont associate them with the incident and will hopefully understand that they are just doing their job just like we all do. This situation needs to be handled very delicately we don't want this to spiral out of control and turn into the Rodney King riots. There has already been enough damage to people and property. I just hope that the community will calm down and let the government do their job. On a final note, i believe that Law Enforcement as a whole in the United States has become way too trigger happy, they shoot first and consider their decision later. I hope this incident will bring change to policy and will hopefully bring awareness to this issue that has cost many unnecessary lives.

I think the game looks great and the lights on the fire truck are a real improvement. Of course the game isn't going to meet the same standard were accustomed to, but its gonna be a lot better than the original emergency 4 and hopefully the game is easier to mod so we wont have to deal with the mundane for too long. What is that civilian car doing when the fire truck pulls up? It appears as if its trying to get out of the way if so then the AI has def been improved!

I'm sure it will be i really hope they improve the light editing and make it easier to do and give us more options.

In the United States alot of decent size Law Enforcement agencies have volunteers that would carry out functions such as crowd or traffic control and community patrol but these individuals are no paid and are not sworn. Furthermore most decent sized agencies would also have Community Service Officers that are paid and would investigate crimes where the suspect is no longer present and would process the scene. These officers may or may not be sworn and they are usually not armed. But as Fred03 said most rural or small agencies would not have the need or budget for these types of support staff.

I don't really think changing the resolution has anything to do with the quality of the visuals. I have always had mine at 1920x1080 because I have a large monitor but to my knowledge the game doesnt even support this high of a resolution and that's reflected in the graphics menu. I think editing the resolution just enables you to play the game on full screen.

Good work on the mod and i like the old maps. The only issue i have is with the lights most of the units are good but some need alot of tweaking. Its pretty easy to fix this in the editor but i just dont have the time for that right now.

I'm having an issue with the latest download as well im using winrar and all of the files have errors.

There is 1 or 2 files you need to fix the light issue you will have to look back through the topic unless Flnn has the fixes.Sorry i don't have them.

Haters gonna hate! Not really the current paramedic engine has them and as long as the right coronas are used it looks just fine. And Bama1234 can do anything!

I have another question im trying to make a new animal control unit using the coroners van. I made a copy of all the files and everything is working in the editor but i cant get the unit to show up in the units menu. I followed the tutorial that hoppah made basically just copying another unit and changing the name but its not showing up.

I figured it out! I just needed to change the dimensions of it thank you sniper3369 i watched your video like so many times and i still couldn't get it working.

Okay ive watched that video like 10 times and its still not working the thing is the files werent in dds to begin with so they already had png. So i thought i could just replace the texture file with mine but its not showing up.

Hello I'm trying to skin again and i have edited the texture of the coroners van from the montana mod it was already in png. I just replaced the original file with mine but im getting the white or black model of death and im not sure why ive unlocked the files edited the files to point to the png but its still not showing up. Can someone please help me.

I used the standard and deluxe map and i had to adjust most of the traffic lights but this was always an issue with this map. The only issue i have is the staffing for the ambulances that are spawned at the beginning they don't have a stretcher and the command for getting them one doesn't work.

Looks great! I think the beacon is old school most of them just have flashing blinkers or a traffic bar.

The white does look good on the EMS it gives it a more rural feel and the white looks good on the police cars too it has that small town vibe. You have some blue headlights though lol.
