First off, excellent work! Very handy tool! Secondly, you mentioned for future releases, the ability to create or modify missions. Sorry, I'm using my iPad and can't quote that specific post. Question I had, would it be possible add a free play event creator in one of the future releases? In which players could create free-play events to add to their game and then change the parameters? If so, that would be a very awesome addition.

Hello

I myself am not sure how to add parking thru the map editor. I know there is a forum thread for that. However, if you haven't already seen it, I highly recommend Xplorers mod he did which has added parking spots for police vehicles at the police station among many other improvements. Download link is below. Hope that helps a little.

I assume you skinned it and it was a png,after that you have to use dds converter and change it from a png back to a dds and put back in proper folder OR change the model v3o to include the new png file not the old dds file.

That is correct, only difference is, I went to change it back from .PNG to .DDS with the converter and it soimply will not do it, I have no idea why... how would I change the model V30 to include the new .png file?

I have looked all over for this answer, I have re-skinned a vehicle from the LA Mod thanks to the directions in this topic and did exactly what they said, however, I am unable to convert the image I altered back to .DDS in order to use it in the mod.... Any ideas of what may be wrong?

Yes awesome job Tanker, Did exactly as your post read above and now I have no problem! Thanks for your assistance!

When vere i try and run the mod installer it says that it didnt dowload properly, and to download again. So i did. But then it still doesnt work...someone please help

Unfortunately , I am having the same problem and havent found a solution yet, I have uninstalled and then re installed and still doesnt work..

My buddy and I had the exact same problem downloading from Atari's website. On their forums, lots of people have the same problem with 911 as you did. Atari's solution is to tell you to call the company that downloaded from...they were zero help. They claim the game doesn't have secure rom, but it does and the serial numbers they issue and reissue will not work.

SOLUTION....ask for a refund (my buddy and I both got a refund no problems) then goto Amazon.com and download it. Same price and works fine.

Hope that helps.

Thanks M1, I have had the same issue, except I had purchased 911 FR a while back VIA Atari and Digital River, now I went to update the game with the new sirens and NY Mod and the game cannot connect VIA Serial Key, SO, as per Atari support I was advised to re-purchase the game and re-install it. In the end, I had purchased the game 2x! and re-formatted my entire machine and even received 2 serial keys, I keep gettin the same error as the original poster, "Serial key invalid" When I contact Support they cannot understand why. Very helfpful, not so much! Thanks for your idea, I will ask for a refund and purchase from Amazon!

All the apparatus are european

Thanks reece.c, I was not sure.. That is a major disappointment for me, I mean no offense to anyone by saying this, but, I dont want to play with European apparatus.. I live in the U.S. I want to play with what we have here, hence why I love Hoppah's mod...

Please, before you read this, understand that I know that EM2012 is NOT moddable...I was just wondering, since the Game has not yet released in the U.S... does anyone know if you will be able to control Apparatus like in the LAmod by Hoppah? Or, do you only have access to European apparatus like EM4 and 911FR... I was unable to find any solid evidence supporting this. Thanks for any input.

Even supercomputers need to be maintained or else whey will lag eventually. Make sure you delete files you don't need anymore on a regular bases. Perform a disk clean up and defrag your hard drive once a month. Install the latest drivers for your PC etc. That all keeps your pc in tiptop shape and helps to prevent lags.

thanks pyro, good point, i havent cleaned any files off my pc in a while... ill try cleaning it up a little bit

thanks to those of you that replied with help rather than freaking out about the font size which has nothing to do with the question i asked... it was not done on purpose, one person, a moderator could've said something and it wouldve been a done deal... i apologize... anyway, i noticed i never had the issue before so it may be a v1.9 issue... thanks for your input everyone!

Hello all, I apologize in advance if this is a repeat issue for someone else, I did extensive searching on this issue and havent found anything,,,anyways, My pc runs 911 FR very well, as a matter of fact, its near seamless. however, in freeplay lamod v1.9 when i select a unit or officer, firefighter, etc, the game gets very slow, the units slow down, light bar seems to drag, even makes clicking somewhere for the unit to go or for an item to get difficult... and as soon as i de select the unit or click anywhere on the screen other than a unit, everything speeds up to par and the whole issue is non-observant... if anyone can shed some light on this situation, that would be great, it almost seems like the more units you select, even if its only one, the game overloads and slows down.......but i dont mean slow down as in glitchy or a video problem... just laggy sort of..

my pc specs are

3.40 ghz processor

4 gb of RAM

1024 Mb Gforce GTX285

Thanks a lot for any advice!!! :23_31_4:

Thanks a lot, that worked!!

I know someone is going to rip my head off and tell me to search the topic first, but I did search and search and search and found nothing, I just need to know what to do in order to save in Freeplay mode in 911FR and LA Mod 1.8.1... Thanks in advance

Hey Stan, I have a stupid question, what do you mean by logfile? Where is that located?

Ok, good news, I was able to find the logile through the FAQ'a on this site and in my logfile I found the error and fixed it, I can now play!!! Thanks for everyones help!!

Hey Stan, I have a stupid question, what do you mean by logfile? Where is that located?

You will need to update your GFX card drivers,this usually causes the game to crash to desktop

Also post your DXDIAG file so others can look to see if there are any other issues

Hope this helps

ok, I did update my GFX card right after I got it, I have no idea why it will not work. Thanks for your help!!

Matt

DxDiag.txt

Hey everyone, I am a bit confused and lost. I just purchased a brand-new grpahics card and installed it on my pc. Now, I had to re-do my pc because of a virus, so I re-installed 911 FR and when I double-click the icon, it loads to a black screen for like 2 seconds then returns to the my desktop. It never runs or starts up. I have re-installed the game several times and the Pc itself. Any ideas on why this game will not work?? I need help please!! Thanks a lot in advance.

Matt

I definitely will try it out and give it a whirl... thanks Mike

I have a question for anyone who may know... How hard is it to script events? Like a car accident with fire and multiple injuries? Is it really hard to do or can it be done?... Thanks!

Yeah it is time to move on:)

I give you credit for being a volunteer, not getting paid definately makes ya understand a bit more:)

Unfortunately, we had to close the suggestions because of the double posts that people tended to bring up, but hoppah did post the last post in there about the reason for the closings. Hopefully one of these days we will get that back up and manage to sort through it all, but unfortunately, as you can tell by looking at the topic, it is huge so it'll be a while before that is completely done:(

The Respect thing is important and I believe at times all of us, including myself need to take a step back and think so I applogize for saying you probrably do not care, that was inappropriate and I should not have done that. When people are new occasionally they will make mistakes, it happens and usually a friendly reminder is posted regarding the issue, unfortunately I think you just happened into the wrong situation, so for that we appologize. Unfortunately you are right there is no mention of suggestions being forbidden in the LA Mod, this is a recent development due to time and repeat suggestions that take time from us all to have to respond to, so it was decided and posted in the Suggestions topic why it was shut down for now. Technically speaking it is not against the rules to suggest things, we just do not have the time to review them all, but to satisfy everyone who may want to I will open a new suggestions topic as soon as I can with the condensed responses for the most common requests as well as a notice that the suggestions/requests may not recieve responses at this time.

Well thanks a lot for your response, I agree with what you stated and I respect that, the "modders" so to speak are busy people too and I realize that all suggestions cannot possibly be attended to, it just is not feasible, therefore, I accept your apology and I thank-you for clarifying things.

I know you probrably do not care but here goes:

I do not believe that his comment was directed directly at you, if you see who he quoted you will see who it was intended for.

Next onto the rules of the forum, when you join I am fairly certain they are displayed for you upon registration, if not they are clearly displayed at the top of each forum ( Announcement: Terms Of use ). So they are very easilly located and read if one takes the time.

Then to your last comment, you took on the responsibility on a job that you are paid to do, we are unfortunately not paid to do these things... We have to devote our free time in order to make these mods, and unfortunately we like to have lives outside of modifying this game so we can't possibly respond to all the requests and suggestions that are made. Most people are not satisfied with just making a suggestion, they also wish to have a response from one of us as to what will happen with it, realistically we cannot afford the time to do this. Then you have the problem of newer members suggesting things which have already been suggested, so someone has to go through and clarify what happened with that. I hope you understand why the suggestions section for this mod was shut down, other modifications are still accepting suggestions, it is just the LA mod that does not wish to have suggestions everywhere at this time. Eventually, someone will re-organize the suggestions thread so the most commonly asked questions are listed first so that they may not be repeated, but this takes time we currently do not have.

Mike

First of all, I do care, but I appreciate your concern mike, you may be right about the comment being directed at someone else. However. I agree with Stan on his last post. I feel like this is freaking Kindergarten!! I joined this forum because this game is totally awesome and I absolutely love the LA Mod, but we are all humans here and we do need to respect eachother. Just because someone is a modder doesnt mean that they are better than everyone else... except at modding of course, lol. So, I apologize for "breaking the rules" when it comes to suggestions, even though I didnt find any rules against suggestions in the TOS, however, I will retain suggestions for the future when it is okay to do so. And it was more of an opinion or a "what do you guys think" kind of thought, so, I didnt intend to offend or cause issues. Keep in mind, people do not know what was posted before all the time, so repeats may occur. I found that the search does not always find a specific post, it all depends.

Oh and BTW mike, my other job where I am a supervisor, is volunteer, I dont get paid.

Now we can all move on and have fun enjoying this awesome game!!

I would also be in, I can never find a game!!! Please let me play, I will do Fire or Police or EMS, Preferably fire.. :23_31_4:

Yo dude I am the king of suguestions and getting my ass hounded for it. Welcome to the forum. Unless you wanted to get screemed at by everyone else on the forum, I suggest that you not make suggestions. I am all for it but the modders seem to think otherwise. I wish we could make suggestions. Sorry for the bad news.

Mike

Well thanks for telling me about that Mike, I really had no idea. As for Hoppah, I have two jobs as well totalling 50+ hours per week as well as my bachelors degree in progress, I am JUST as busy as you!!!!!! There is no need to get angry with me about suggestions, I DID NOT KNOW!!! Perhaps, when you join this forum an email or PM should be sent out with the rules and guidelines. I dont want to make my own mod, you are better at that hoppah, thats why we leave it up to you. The LA mod is absolutely brilliant but it was your decision to make the mod, not mine.... I just suggested a possible idea or two that may make the game a little more fun for everyone. It was not meant to demean you of your work, or however personal you took it, sorry. Now I know for the future.

Matt

BTW.. I am a supervisor at one of my jobs, I hear the same questions 50 times a day sometimes, but I TOOK on the responsibility, not them. SO, I have to be willing to explain it or go about in a proper fashion.. and the way you acted doesn't attract me to this forum...

Is there a Suicide on the tracks in v1.7 for freeplay, I saw it in the editor but it never occurs. I only get suicide by jumpin out the window or the swimming one down by the port.

Edited By: Mikey Merged your posts, in the future try to edit them please rather than posting twice in a row.

I must say the crane looks awesome, cant wait to see it in action and if I was to make a suggestion for V1.8, I would love to see more of a variety of rescues, such as automobile accidents with rescue, rollover, fire, and involving intricate details. (ie like a car going over the bridge, a train crash, small aircraft crash. etc.) That would be so cool, considering Hoppah put the Rescue truck in Station 1, so it is readily available. Its just a thought. the game cannot improve without suggestions...

Also, I dont know if LA has this, but what if a Fire Police truck was added to V1.8? this truck could support like 4 fire police that have cones, flairs, barricades, etc in their truck. This truck could be stationed at the main fire house or police station and its sole purpose is traffic control for the Fire department or whomever. This way the police dont get tied up directing/closing traffic and roads. This is how we do it around where I live.
