  1. I do not know which one it is, but I am drawn to Yemen even though I know it is probrably wrong. The Vic is not a very popular car there so my guesses are limited to a few nations that may have them in small numbers.
  2. Trust me from first hand experience, that minor issue of the texture is one of the most annoying things to try to do since it is so large you will be looking at weeks if not months of work just to make that look good, ploping down buildings takes time too as well as the events that take place... Finding somoene who wants to waste a ton of their time playing with a paint program to make a 100mb file map is not going to be easy if you can't do it yourself... Yeah the base texture can be that huge before you even convert it to the proper format to put into the game.
  3. It is an ungodly amount of work to make new rotor animations so my first guess would be no. It takes an incredible amount of work just to get the thing to look decent let alone great, he did all that work to the blackhawk rotor system and I really see no reason to replace the USCG helo which works just fine in it's current role.
  4. No it is not likely that a sniper could do a shot from a helicopter since the unit that shoots is considered in the helicopter, not as an addon to the helicopter. The National Guard is the only ones who can rappel, so if one of their men can sniper then yes, if not, then no. I believe hoppah already said he wishes the blackhawk to be unique with the ability to rappel down it, so I doubt very seriously the swat sniper will be able to do the trick.
  5. I hope this issue has been resolved, however, my understanding is that EM4Fun had permission to modify the vehicle for this mod and that it was a misunderstanding of what exactly was going on. If I am mistaken and there is still an issue please feel free to notify me and I will try to mediate the issue out, however I do believe this was resolved. In the future I would hope that the primary mod designer and any designers working with them will maintain good lines of communications to prevent problems. Please get back to topic and work on the mod if you wish to continue.
  6. Mikesphotos can answer this better than I can, but perhaps in cali they use the DOT Crash barrier trucks, they would be a more practical addition since they are alot easier to move about and quite honestly easier to work with.
  7. Take a patrol officer to the flagstand and ask him to stop the race by questioning him with the cop. He will aknoledge and stop the race, then you go about the rest of your duties. This should have been posted in the following location: International Emergency Fan Forum (Emergency 1,2,3 & 4) > Emergency 4 | Emergency 4 Deluxe | 911: First Responders > [EN] Help > Mission Help
  8. You are correct that the idea of older style reserve engines has been brought up, but the issues are still the same. Those older engines while cool serve no additional purpose to the gameplay or mod. They would just be additional work for little purpose so they are not of concern as was said previously I doubt that will change. Perhaps maybe newer engines may one day come into the mod but I can't say for sure on that one.
  9. This is muh last shot on this one because I have no idea, Oregon State somewhere? IF NOT!
  10. The US considers Florida, New York, DC, all those to be eastern coast places, places like California, Nevada, New Mexico are West coast Anywho, onto my guess, I'll try Colorado.
  11. Thank you, Mike's Photos I never knew who made the bar so you've educated me I just remember it from modelling it a long time ago. I did not know they made a LED varient either I figured they would recycle them as long as humanly possible. Thnx for posting more information on it, perhaps it will teach those who were interested in it about it :1046275747_biggthumpup:
  12. I'd guess it's somewhere from South America but I am probrably wrong, it just screams something like the southern hemisphere would come up with.
  13. These instructions should make life easier on anyone trying to do this: Depending on your operating system you may have to either turn off the protection that will prevent you from modifying the file, Vista has protection on all the filed in the Program Files folder by default, an easy way around this is to copy the file out of there temporarilly to modify it (ensure Read only is not enabled when you modify it or you will not be able to save!). You may find the by one of two ways, the file you are looking for should be called "em4.cfg" I believe for all the games but I am not sure. You may attempt to use windows search to find the specific file or manually locate it most likely found in the default installation directory: X:\Program Files\(Distributor Name)\(Emergency 4/911 - First Responders/or deluxe)\ I believe the .cfg file is always going to be found in the root directory of the game which is where you should find the .exe as well. There should only be one .cfg found in the game folders making it easy to locate the configuration file. Open the .CFG file in Notepad: Use the "find" command found under the EDIT menu and enter in the following item: "e4_maxcampitch" The find command will highlight this text, following the text you will see value="XXX" /> Replace the XXX with whatever value you wish to use, hoppah provided good values for decent views of the vehicles. Repeat the process one at a time for the next three values: "e4_maxcamz" "e4_mincampitch" "e4_mincamz" Finally, Save the document and if you moved it you will have to put it back where it was originally found in order for the changes to take place. NOTE: You may have to make the file Read-Only under it's properties to prevent the file from being changed by you or the game it's self. Hoppah's Settings: <var name="e4_maxcampitch" value="80." /> <var name="e4_maxcamz" value="3500" /> <var name="e4_mincampitch" value="15" /> <var name="e4_mincamz" value="100." />
  14. Because this is the LA MOD Suggestions/ideas topic, not the New York Mod. The Parking enforcement was left in the post because it is relevant to the topic. Simple as that.
  15. what police agency is the vehicle from is what i meant. But like I said you get the credit for the win since you were able to get the place close enough The BMW is from their National Police service... Rather unique new car in my opinion to see in that nation but hey. So you're up.
  16. It's to my knowledge a Vision bar with an attatchment bar setup behind it that is a high-riser setup. Removed Pictures thanks to mikesphotos putting up the supplier's website.
  17. The bar on the roof of the NYPD Highway Patrol is called something like a High-Riser, it is a pretty cool light, the thing has two arms that can tilt upward to give it better lighting visibility, one on each side. The NYPD Aux/Traffic are nadda like the Los Angeles units to me.
  18. Hey guys, try to refrain from bringing up non-related things into the forums of the respective mods, I know the issue was posed and people wished to answer it, but it really does not belong in this topic, general police inquiries and all that can go into a different forum so it does not dillute things it does not belong with. The bar on the roof of the NYPD Highway Patrol is called something like a High-Riser, it is a pretty cool light, the thing has two arms that can tilt upward to give it better lighting visibility, one on each side. The NYPD Aux/Traffic are nadda like the Los Angeles units to me. Edit: The posts referencing the NYPD Units were moved to the "Emergency Questions, Questions related to apparatus and tactics." Topic.
  19. Correct you are, what Police Agency is it with since you have the country correct? :1046275747_biggthumpup: I never figured Croatia would have a BMW that new but hey, I'll give ya the credit for the victory regardless but I just wanna know if you know the agency as well.
  20. Not quite it's of a nation near both italy and slovenija.
  21. Same area, not Italy though. Nice guess... I was going to pick a much more impossible one, but that's just mean.
  22. I don't even know where this country is on a map so I will be shocked if anyone knows where this car came from. 2005ish BMW M5 Croatian National Police; Picture removed to free up my attatchment space.
  23. That truck in the image is more likely than not a Secret Service Detail truck (they use them for motorcade duty). The truck has all the things that the Secret Service trucks pack not the FBI. Looks like it's got some armor, too. The prison idea serves no purpose in the game unfortunately, since there is not a freeplay mission of prison break or anything like it. EDIT: for lord_bonev: NSA National Security Agency is located in the state of Maryland, they act as an intelligence agency, more or less analyzing data from all kinds of sources but not really serving as the traditional law enforcement type of role. I understand you wish for there to be more federal units, however, most of the ones you asked for are more of an east-coast thing, they are most often found in the Washington, D.C. area and Maryland, as well as New York City (because of the UN). They occasionally may end up having to roam in LA but for the most part the DSS/Secret Service vehicles you've requested are not really acting as law enforcement, perhaps if there was a mission made with either a Diplomat or Foreign leader or the president in it then they would be required but for the normal gameplay they are not something unique to bring to the LA mod, and in all honesty not really likely to be roaming there too often anyway. Hope this information helps you to understand the federal agencies in the US a little bit better.
  24. Bloomfield Hills, Michigan Police 2005 Cadilliac CTS Next time find one not in your home state :1046276313_Up_to_something:
  25. He is correct, Vista and FR work perfectly fine with no issues, chances are his computer does not support the screen resolution that has been set, he can either reinstall as suggested and update drivers (recommended regardless). If that fails he should attempt to change the screen resolution in the config file manually, there is a topic related to doing that here, see that for full details on how to do that after updating the drivers and reinstalling is attempted. The issue you describe is video card related more likely than not.
