Firefighter F.D 18 was a terrible game. Some of the in-game features were nice like having to crouch down to see because of smoke, but it ended up a bad game

Some Fire Fighting games are silly because some people don't know how fire works and how it will a effects you.

Not all programers do reseach or do some training in how it feels.

This is how I have been doing it....

I first build the bridge, then rescue the 2 people in the water, and load them in the ambulance....

Then I rescue the 3 on the barge, send them to the hospital while bringing up the 2 cars with the crane....

around this time the bridge collapses, so I move the crane across the water, while rescuing the 2 or 3 that fell into the water....

While caring for them and retrieving the cars is when the game ends....

I dont see any other way of doing it....

I tried saving the 1 guy on the bridge with the helicopter, but doesnt make any difference....

I have got a 2 Fighterman over to the otherside by boat I think? one had a jaw of life the other had nothing... One pulled the one person off bridge... the other one save the person in the car... Then pulls away before bridge collapses.

Also I did a Medic team in a helicopter that land and pull the person off the bridge also. But left other guy in car.

Who still have a Play Station 2? It seems like Konami made a 3rd person and frontline Fire Fighting game back in 2004.

It was call "Firefighter F.D. 18"

I also found a game that came out in 2005. That oddly look like EM but more 3D and more RTS in it. Also based on the West Coast...

Its call "Firefighter Command: Raging Inferno".

Makes me wonder if there are mods for that game and will work well with EM4? If you move scripts and models to EM4?

Did someone talk about this game before?

I also seen some Japanese Fire Fighting game that seem to be set in US. I can't find.... Must been Japanese Only... I saw some Videos some where and it look cool. I need to find it again...

So does Sketch Up? really works? I'm better in Sketch up than zmodeler2...

This might help me if works!?

Nice Models man! :1046275747_biggthumpup:

Love to see the hills of SF soon!

hey guys, i have uninstalled k-lite codec pack from the PC (I had not noticed his presence) and now the game work!!!!

but is possible solve this problem?

because it is bad that every flies must uninstall the codec to play.....

If you ever need a Video codec again? The Best Codec software is "Combined Community Codec Pack"

Installs all the codecs you needs... Never once crash in game videos and also play the videos you have problems with other codec softwares. Its really smart too... When you run a video it comes On to help video. Then right off when video are done. Also if you have problems still it has setting you can turn off a codec... unlike others you can't turn off. But it setup what you should have on when installing.

OK ! sorry about that guys...

Here i was chopping down some woods in the ForestFire mission

NEW:

I got a little extreme on that mission.

I never had to cut a single tree in that misson... I should try for fun. lol

try to follow the special tutorial about UV mapping from Hoppah

I know that... I was talking about some thing else...

Hey had a look for that file the take 2 one, i found it but the games is still crashing after the intro movie, in the logfile it is say's

!Precaching prototypes

?Cannot add default animation set to Paramedic Team: incompatible bone structure?

?Cannot add default animation set to Paramedic with Injured: incompatible bone structure?

Could this be the problem, if so what can i do to sort it out or what does it mean?

Thanks for your help so far I think that if we can get this bit sorted then it may work!

I would unstall and look for a patch for game if there any? I think I saw some around. Then Install game and then install patch.

If the Codec is the problem? Maybe you should use the Codec Software I used... Never fail me once...

The .dds files for vehicles are in the Model folder. For the original game it is in: Data ~~> Models ~~> Vehicles the .dds files then they are in each of the folders in that directory. Or if your looking for a Mod's .dds files you can find those in... Mods ~~> (Mod Name) ~~~> Models ~~> Vehicles and they are in the sub folders in there. Hope that Helps.

Once you find the file double click or drag them into photoshop or whatever program your going to use edit them there, Then save them and they will be changed.

I try the same thing with the normal game. I think it didn't work.. I saw them same skin as before. Is there any else I must do? I like to test some repainted skins.

That St. John's Town looks kind of neat.... Isn't like really hilly and with many road turns? Or shape like old parts of London's Streets?

The problem with most suggestions is that there are not enough photographs available for people who are not from the area to figure out what is on primarilly fire engines and ambulances, police cars generally speaking are readilly available for most major cities.

Oh? That not true... You have to be a good reseacher... There many places on the net to find pictures. Even Videos on You Tube...

There also alot of other people in the world who loves Emergency Units... You just have to find them.

If you find some one with pictures and lives there? You might want to E-mail that person and ask to help with your mod.

If you can't find anything in a English search? Just type the word "Fire Deparment" in their language in a search and you will find those pictures.

I'm going to throw out another idea.

Place in the World : China

Where in China : Hong Kong Area

Time of place : Today World

The style would be kind of cool since it was a English Colony... It has a mix of English and Chinese Buildings.

Also there alot of Engines that look more English than Chinese... Or just more Europe looking.

http://www.pbase.com/ercphilip/image/23981351

Who hasn't seen a Jackie Chan Movie in Hong Kong? Like "Police Story"?

Considering that most of the mod makers are otherwise engaged at the moment in mods that are not even first release I am not sure I see the point of gathering up ideas for mods when most people are not really all that interested in making the mods, the few that do are tied up with other mods.

Well there might be new people who wants to make an Mod. But don't know what to make...

I would suggest that any large international city would be good and most people would enjoy that.

However, I would suggest New York because most people are very familiar with their fire and police departments through the media and the copious amounts of information online.

So;

Place in the World : United States

Where in the US : Manhattan

Time of place : Today World

Style : Modern

Well people are already making that Mod.... We need new Ideas...

Tanker? Does that work in the LA Mod? I'm using the yellow crash trucks (4 of them), external hand lines (3 of them) and internal hand lines (4 of them) and extinguishers (6 of them) and getting nowhere.

You should say your playing the darn... Mod... The LA Mod not the only way to play the game... jeez...

I like to hear... What places in the World? Would you like there to be Mods of....

Make a list thats like below. Such as the our Tokyo Mod Project....

---

Place in the World : Japan

Where in Japan : Tokyo Area

Time of place : Today World

Style : Japanese and Modern style

---

Also add notes what you like to see in a game. But nothing too hard... Just a basic idea.

If many people likes a mod or place it should be at? Maybe some Mod team will make that Mod?

This is to see what people want to have... Please don't say any ideas of an mods that is current made or being built.

Such no Ideas for LA Mod, NY Mod, England Mod, etc.... New Ideas People! New Places! :1046275747_biggthumpup:

Aww Thanks guys! You gave me a new map idea!

In the plane crash I can't extinguish the plane on fire nor can I get the victims out of it?

What's the secret?

I found out this like the only part of the game you need the tankers. Also make sure you have firemen at every hydrant outside. Keep the spread of fire very low.

dido from engine company 11

If you going to put up any WTC? Why not use the new ones they going to buildings?

If you want a police officer in plain clothes... Then should there be a new unit person called Detective or Investigator?

because this is LA you would not see vehicles rushing into the fire station because they are a full time paid department not volunteer. And why do you wanna see into the station?..all you would see is a bunch of guys sitting around eating food and watching TV until the tones went off.

and i do have a suggestion. How about actualy tones for the departments not just a beep..maybe a different one for fire trucks and ambulances too if its possible

You should see a Japanese Fire Station.... It's nice and clean.... No one is eating food and watching TV until the tones goes off. They are always working.... Its like having 2 jobs.... lol

:1046276313_Up_to_something:

Thanks Hoppah for throwing on the alpha since my program hates alphas,

I managed to test a theory that I figured may work for Emergency that may add a new addition to the complexity of the models... I made a Tinted Glass Light that you can see on my truck below in the picture.

The theory is simple, build a light bar's inner guts (led lenses, rotators, whatever, the deck to hold them). build the glass, copy it and shrink the copy by 1% making a 2nd layer of glass, attatch the glass so that it is the FIRST thing in vertices and you'll have a tinted lightbar or light :1046275747_biggthumpup:

Who would've figured this would work for this game but sure enough it did.

Sweet! That's what I need in the Tokyo Mod! Rotators Light are still common in Japan. It wound be nice if you can make different kinds and maybe I can use them? It would be very helpful...

If you like to make some Japanese Rotators Lights? I can give you some to do... But they are not easy....

Just to let you know that is LA County Fire department. The LA mod is in LA city not county.

Oh? That's LA County? Maybe we should get rid of the Sheriff's Department then? lol

Since its in the mod.....

And its a county department.... lol

Please tell how.. I cannot get from water all cars! Please help..

Things that you need to think about...

How to get to the other side?

How to find the cars under water?

How to get the cars out of the water?

You need to know what each unit can do... They can solve your questions. Then get them and use them fast.

it is my new super pumper for my mod based on the original design. So if what your asking is it a re-creation? no

Well, Maybe I'm just too real with some things at times.

But, I wouldn't have Godzilla destory Tokyo... in a mod? or would I?

I just won't go too crazy.... I'm just a little scared of your engine...
