I don't know when the Florian Hamburg 1.2.2 was released but you have to download it from the german forums.

I'm downloading it to test it now.

Maybe I'll get around to try Latvia-mod sometime to, but can someone tell me, if there are any advanced functions in it?

For example, how does the alarming of unit work? Is it like in Florian Hamburg-mod, or like LA-mod?

Hey guys, I'm too slow checking back to this thread. Hehe...

Thanks for all the tips, I'll check out the new Aarhus-mod. I've already tried the Florian Hamburg mod a few months ago, when was this 1.2.2-version released?

About mods that aren't released, like the Atlanta mod; I understand you want to make your modifications known, but I have asked specifically for mods that are released and of a certain quality.

Be so kind as to refrain from posting mods that haven't been released, or that only contain some new skins and no new functions or even scripts.

Thanks again!

Lol adverter

Yes, we are aware. Please, keep on topic.

And don't advertise for mods that aren't released yet, or mods that just consist of a couple of new skins.

I'm not interested in those, I'm interested in really functional mods, like Winterberg and LAmod.

Well I'll be damned, you guys sure post a lot in a few days!

I haven't had time to check in on this topic for a while, but I can see there are some new suggestions here. I'll try them out, thanks!

About getting a jo, and discussions about unreleased mods.... I don't really care for that. Keep on topic.

I'm a student at university college, so I don't really need more things to fill my spare time. I'm just looking for new mods, that's all.

Currently waiting for NYmod, Wuppertal, Winterberg v7, LAmod v1.9, and RTS-mod. So quite a list...

You mean swine flu.If you want to get a cure for Swine flu,go to China,on the cantonese news like 2 days ago,a girl said she got healed from the Swine flu with chinese medicine.

Well that's great.

Now, let's not get too carried away with swine flu.

Keep the suggestions on mods I can play coming!

Nor do I really, but they won't let you out into a school or a workplace if you have swine, and they will try to keep you home. That's all I have been hearing about for the past 2 weeks. IF YOU ARE SICK, DO NOT COME HERE, STAY HOME!

Gets tiring, so much swine... I don't know anyone with it though...

And no, the Norway mod looks like it won't be going much at all... A lot of the files were lost in a computer crash Joachim had and I have only been able to get a few cars, and we have nothing for a few departments. The Norway mod may be restarted some time when we get some free time, but I don't have the time to restart the mod.

I see what you mean, not that much talk about swineflu here in Norway at the moment though.

Well, 3d-modelling is one of the courses I'm taking at school this semester, if I get the hang of it I might give modelling a few Norwegian units a go.

But no promises, I'll just see what happens I guess.

Too bad about the mod though, I've always wanted a good Norway-mod for EM4.

I'm currently saving up my sick days.. I plan on contracting Swine.. That means I get a week or so off of everything, but I'm healthy so I'll still be able to use the computer.. I'm just not allowed out anywhere... Though I might have to be quarantined, because not everyone in my household is quite as healthy

Doesn't really help me with my question Newfoundking, but it's ok I guess. I don't have time to be sick due to school, but I'm hoping for some spare time to play all the new mod-updates that lay on the horizon!

I guess the Norway-mod isn't moving too much these days either?

Actually, that may have just been for the screenshot, but we'll find out soon enough.

I guess we will.

Can you go to www.winterberg-mod.com? I get Error 403 You don't have permission to access / on this server.

Maybe they release Winterberg 7.0 and update the page?

Having the same problem, but I don't think they have released anything new. I've run the updater twice today and there's no new files...

From the errors we are getting it looks like they are having trouble with their webserver or database.

You can wait for NY mod to come out.It has taser and codes and lots of traffic.

Yea, I'm currently waiting for NY-mod, Winterberg v7 and LA-mod v1.9.

So there's alot going on in the future, but I'm looking for something new and challenging to get my hands on until then. Hehe...

The Netherlands Mod still in beta. So it only contains a few vehicles and personnel at the moment. But it still a great mod, it's worth trying it out!

I don't know about Hamburg, but I do know it contains a new map, and lots of new units.

Yea, I tested it now... Not really a new mod, just a reskin of EM4 with a few scripts, like the AutoSiren etc.

I'm afraid that the only two mods I can really call complete, 100% mods are LA-mod and Winterberg...

That's a bit sad. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy seeing new units, the DDR-mod had some really interesting new models and concepts.

But the lot of mods I have played are full of bugs, or they don't really add anything to the game. They're just skins...

Keep on giving me suggestions though!

Hamburg and netherlands mod

Aha, I'll check them out.

Are they larger mods, like LAmod and Winterberg? Or something along the lines of DDR-mod?

EDIT: I've allready played the Florian Hamburg-mod. Sorry, forgot to mention that. Will test Netherlands-mod now!

So, I've played a few mods now. I've played Los Angeles Mod a lot, same goes for Winterberg Mod.

I've tested Dänemark Mod, Czech Republic Mod, and the DDR-Mod Demo.

All fun and games, some are better than others, but there are aspects to enjoy with all of them.

Now I ask of you: what do you recommend I try next? I want something on the scale of LAmod or Winterberg, with extensive commands etc, not just a re-skinned EM4.

All suggestions are welcome.

Thanks on beforehand!

The list of mods I have tested up to now is;

LA-mod

Winterberg

Dänemark

Czech Republic

DDR (the 8 level demo)

Florian Hamburg (version 1.2.2 too)

Netherland

Helmond

RTS, Rescue Training Simulator

Then Chuck Norris is called in...

Hehe, ok, let's stop with the "NG calls 911" now.

It's amusing, but it's not what I wanna discuss in this thread.

So, let's continue along the lines of the original thread people!

More or less, yes they can. Really it's just adding the patrol button, and then you have a military task force to do police work.

Yea, I guess I could do that. The helicopter would need some work too, to make it possible to follow suspects and vehicles etc...

Maybe for another time.

I don't actually use them a lot in freeplay.. I used them ONCE, when a bunch of rioters got out of hand, I went in, and mowed them all down with the nat'l guard... Then I sent the MCU to clear the scene...

I also use them occasionally when the toxic cloud comes through the map, I may use them, just for the realism effect.. Them and then I'll have the Red Cross set up i a spot that'll be unaffected by the cloud and heal units as they become injured... No need to go through wasting emergency units, or redirecting traffic, when you can just block off areas with soldiers

Ah, the radioactive cloud, good point. That's a good example of usage!

I'm gonna try out some situations where they can be used from now, maybe I can incorporate them into my usual unit rotation. Too bad they can't patrol, or else I could have simulated a state of emergency, where the NG had taken over most of the police day-to-day duties.

They can, technically, perform the same tasks as the police in LAmod.

Allright, I've got a new question for the gamers out there!

What do you use the National Guard for, in freeplay?

I've never used them, ever. There never seems to be a situation big enough to require me to utilize them. The only thing I can think of is crowd control, or riot situations. But that's stuff I use my police units for...

So how about it?

Flashlight: Click

I think we have established what a flashlight is.

I think my favourite vehicle in the mod would have to be the unmarked patrol car. It's really sleek and stealthy.

I also like the police motorcycle.

In real life I don't really know, but I tend to like the german firetrucks.

The only mission I'd use it for is the 9th one cause it gets dark fast.

Yes, this is a good example of a mission where a flashlight might be useful. But really useful, or just a little?

I guess it's up to one self to decide.

Bottom line; I wouldn't mind having a flashlight-function in the game, but I don't feel like it's something that needs to be developed right now.

Who knows what the future might bring, though.

Just my two cents about escorting ambulances with police units:

Sure, it looks cool, and it's probably done in a lot of real life situations.

But it's also going to deplete the police presence in an area, since the police unit has to follow the ambulance to the hospital, and then either return to patrol or stand by there.

It doesn't really add anything but visuals to the game.

Damnit, you saw my 'mistake'.

I see everything.

Thanks for clearing up the matter about the flashlight-issue, by the way!

That's probably why he suggested it.

edit:

The command in EM3 LA MOD was useless and not perfect. The officer did not hold a fleshlight in their hands nor pointed it to the ground or an object. It was basically just a light on the chest of the officer that you could turn on and off.

Offtopic; I really hope you mean a flashlight, not a fleshlight...

On topic: I see what you mean. This feature would not be very realistic or useful, so I can see why this isn't included in EM4.

Yes, please post screenshots if you have one!

If there is a flashligh in EM3, it should be able to transfer it to EM4.

Doesnt em3 la mod have aflash light

If that is the case I have never seen it.

Someone would have to make a script for it, which would take time. It's not really useful so I don't think anyone would spend time making a script for it.

Neither do I, and I don't expect anyone to.

I don't expect Hoppah or anyone else to make this for LAmod, I'm just stating my opinion about the idea. If I could, I might give this a shot. But I can't.
