How about adding these? They're very popular in the NYPD and could hold a lower-level officer like a traffic control officer.

I just stopped by here at the forums, when I saw this new mod. I downloaded and played it.

I have to say, great job! I really like the mod and the new NYPD units. I also like how it makes the game not too easy.

Here are my suggestions for the mod:

1. New York Accents Needed! Re-Record the game's European voices with people who have New York accents. The accent is very unique.
   
2. The NYPD Toyota Prius would be nice.
   
3. Patrol function for ambulances.
   
4. There's a bug: sometimes when you hit Radio Deployment on a firetruck, not all of the firemen mount their hoses to the truck.
   
5. A new map with skyscrapers (which I know you guys are working on).
   

Are you doing a mission on the riots of LA?

Hoppah, for 1.8 or 1.9, how about adding a Los Angeles PD Mobile Command Center

and a homeland security police car

OK guys, you need to stop fighting. I think Hoppah is really pissed because of all the requests that are being thrown at him. He said that the only car that will be added to 1.7 will be the LASD Van. And I think we should wait to request cars until after 1.7s release.

Can't we all just get along?

What do they use the pistols for, though? In EM4, the pistols are meant to shoot pepople.

Take a look, I was able to turn this script into a police bullhorn.

Sound a lot like the sirens from Vice City.

For those who need a review

1. Second hospital, fire station or police station on freeplay map.

Good idea, but requires alot of time to make it. Won't be added to mod until I have more time.

2. Add the stations to multiplayer.

Bad idea, Unless someone comes up with a genius idea how to deal with 4 players who want to park THEIR cars in the station only.

The stations have nothing to with cooperation and would slow down gameplay. It would just act as a place to mess around.

3. Add a tiller/trailer with ladder.

Good idea. It's possible to add trailers to Emergency 4, but game limitions withhold me. Reasons:

- The trailers in Emergency 4 have problems with physic/collision data.

- You can't send a truck + trailer from the menu, because they're two seperate vehicles (but attached together)

- These tillers are huge. That would cause problems with the ingame pathfinding.

- Installing a tiller near a window would be a pain in the ass. Maybe not even possible.

4. Add a police supervisor.

Bad idea, the normal police officers already have abilities to call for help (patrol cars, ambulances or police helicopter).

What would be the unique function of a supervisor?

5. Remove the paramedics with stretcher.

Bad idea, I want to preserve some of the original gameplay. It will slow down gameplay, because you will have to give paramedics a stretcher manually. Doing this automaticly is useless and unnecessary. The mod already has 'Get/drop stretchter' commands, so this won't be added to the mod.

6. Vehicles can only move when it has at least one passenger (a driver) inside.

Bad idea, it adds realism and makes the game more difficult and challenging. But it will add alot of frustration too, so it won't be added to the mod.

Hey Hoppah, how about adding this vehicle.

I see you've edited your original reply but if you'd like to know more about that car and it's owner, read this amusing article from Copcar . com.

You can see all of the changes Johan Wiegman done to it over the years, including adding the galls 911 logo on the back which is what is seen in the video. That was probably the biggest give away since LAPD, LASD and other agencies in Cali use this logo which is procured through the State of California's Dept. of General Services, Telecommunications Division.

So they were going to use them for patrol, but they decided not too. Thanks for the information Mike.

Wow, Ok..... Let me say this as clearly as I can.

The smart car in the videos you saw has a DUTCH license plate. The people in the video are speaking dutch. The title of the video even mention this is at a car show in the Netherlands. Look at the response video, the license plates are NOT from California of any of the vehicles on the street... or from the US for that matter.

Here is a close up still image of the car that shows the license plate better.

In Europe, many people like to create fake LAPD, CHP, NYPD and other american police cars, take them to car shows, and it is all in good fun. Here are some other examples:

A Swiss NYPD replica

Smart car in NYPD colors from Holland

To learn more about the replica you seem so fascinated by, contact YoMusic on youtube. He seems to be very big in the American Police replicas in Europe scene.

This is not an official LAPD car. This is not a car even operated in the United States. I hope that helps clear things up.

Mike

It would still look nice in the game though. I wish I knew how to model cars.

I even found a Model Hoppah can use: http://www.3dvia.com/jeanudert/media/9337B7899BADBF91

Or you can go to http://www.google.com/translate?u=http%3A%...sl=de&tl=en for english

I emailed the LAPD to see what the Smart car seen in the videos I posted is used for. I'll post their response here. It would be nice if you or someone else could do it for fun .

Hotmail postmaster tells me that email address posted on LAPD's website is not valid.

Instead of the rescue dog handler, what about a K9 unit for LAPD. The dog could run after the suspects who run, and also track them down.

Also how about a charger for the EMS supervisor. Let the ems supervisor be able to call for other ambulances and mass casualty units.

This has been discussed before. I think Hoppah is working on it for a future version, but I'm not sure.

If Hoppah decides to do it, I'll record a radio call for it.

I installed the long version, and it works fine. However, the command name comes up as "Vcmdhorn" instead of "Air horn" or something like that.

I would like a feature where paramedics can call for a coroner if their patient is dead, because it dosen't make sense to transport a dead person to the hospital "Code 3" or even transport the person to the hospital, they should just go back to HQ and go to the morgue. And the coroner can do that.

An umarked charger would actually look really good.

It actually is used as a backup unit, traffic control unit and for patrol in low-crime areas. I think it would be cool to have in the LA Mod.

You can see it in action in the first video, you have to click the link.

Hey Hoppah,

Could you add an LAPD Smart Car to 1.7? Here are some videos of it:

Hey Hoppah,

How about doing a mission for 1.6 based on this real event in LA history?

Hello,

I was wondering, where is the editor for 911 First Responders? I know there is one for Emergency 4. I would like to create a mod based in my hometown of Milwaukee, WI US. But I need the editors to get started.

Thanks,

CVC

ADMINS: Please move to EM4 Modding Help forum. Thank you! (Sorry, made a mistake)

My ideas for 1.6

- Color the top of the LAFD ambulance red like the rest of it instead of white. The white top makes it look hideous.

- Option for paramedics to call a coroner if the patient they're working on is dead.

- More parking spaces in the back of the police station for vehicles to park in, instead of just using the front.

- Parking spaces for smaller FD vehicles at Fire Station.

Well, I have a bit of a problem in this area. I have looked everywhere for Emergency 4/911 First Responders, and the only place I can find it is on the Atari website for digital download. This would be fine, but alas, I have an internet connection speed that would make Al Gore weep. 100kbps connection speed, around 7kbps download, and thats the best I can get where I am. You see, my cable company is a monopoly, and I cannot upgrade because they do not have "enough server space". Its 60 bucks a month.....getting off topic. </rant>

Anyways, does anybody know of a place that I can buy a physical CD within the United States?

Yes, at CompUSA online. http://www.compusa.com/applications/search...P=OTC-GPRODUCTS

Or at NextDay PC

EDIT: Sorry about the double post.

O well there goes my nails yet again, I tried to pre-order it aswell, Ill have to make do with the German copy for now! but hurry up and release the game....

Is it Emergency 4 in a different cover? (to sell more in america or something?)

Yes it is. Its called 911 First Responders in America.
