w00ds, obviously there will be bugs, but have you had a chance to compile an actual list of any bugs you have found yet? If so would you be so kind to provide the known bugs at this stage?

^any chance any one has a pic of it set up like that? Never heard of such a thing.

Many thanks again Mike. I witnessed a small structure fire tonight across the street from where I live. While it was a small fire there were 2 ladders/quints on scene, 2 pumpers, and a rescue squad truck. Oh and a bc and arson investigation was there. I am guessing this is pretty standard in apartment complex fires as I would imagine an aggressive attack is rather common for apt complex fires? Now i found it rather odd that most of the fire units, including the BC, were Evansville Fire Department(city units) because it falls under jurisdiction of Knight Township Fire Department which is located in Evansville, but is an all volunteer company. Now I have a few questions regarding the way things were handled. Now I realize with out knowing our dept policies its hard to give a precise answer, but I am merely asking for an educated guess here. Why send so many EFD units when Knight TWP has a station about 2 miles or less away housing a quint, 2 pumpers,and 2 BCs? Further more Knight TWP has another station about 10 mins away, but still pretty much right down the street, which also houses a pumper. My uneducated guess would be lack of man power due to being an all volunteer dept, while EFD is all paid. Another thing I noticed was I kept hearing a weird sound. A neighbor of mine was out side and asked me what it was. It was a strange beeping sound, and my guess would have to be one or two of the trucks had a carbon monoxide detector on board. It did not sound like your typical home smoke detector. Now the most surprising thing was that this truck, EFD Rescue 3 was dispatched from clear across town. Now since it is strictly a rescue and doesnt have a water tank. my guess is this truck was used as a rehab? They had something on board that they pulled out that took 2 firefighters to carry, and looked like a stretcher but was only like half the length and was about 1 foot in height. Any idea what this may have been? Thanks to all of you for providing answers, its really intriguing to learn these things.

I cant decide if i like the USFS truck better in red or green Veryu good job my friend. Glad to see you got the hang of it.

Well usually people make a new post when there is an update. Just because w00ds isnt working on this any longer, doesnt mean it hsould just be locked up and throw it away. Well good to see your not throwing it all away like most people here tend to do.

Nothing against the England mod, but I would kind of like to see you focus on doing this as its own mod. We have an England Mod in the works, a NYC mod near completion, The LA Mod, and so forth, but no one has taken on the task of doing a mod focused on coastal rescue like you have intended to.

Me again, back to bug you all more, Is it common for CSI to drive the standard dept issue cv, or an undercover cv? Kind of like how our SWAT team some times responds in standard issue cvs..

The editor has nothing to do with this and e4p files cant be altered in notepad or any program. This is readable by EM4 and the Editor only. Look at LAsiren.script, and see how it is laid out. It is pretty simple really.

Its not a hack it just captueres whatever is on the screen. He was asking if you modified the config file to enable you to zoom in so close to the unit. Keep up the good work and before you know it you'll be very good at it! I sure in the hell cant do anything in zmod so congrats on your models!

I have found SOMETIMES you cna skip max, sometimes you cant.

^lol at you to. Chicago has the lead! I might, just maybe be interested in helping a small amount just because its a city i am familiar with and i love it up there. However I will have my hands full soon so wont be able to offer much time.

Last time I read, it was actually almost complete. Forgot who was working on it, they just had one problem with the script or something. Cant recall if it was big or small bug, but it was nearly 100%. Maybe not to the extent of what was described here but i forgot the details on it as I havent heard news on it for some time.

It wouldnt be complete with out the UFO Investigation unit though! I found it the other day. It was a fake department and they drove a crown vic, all black and said UFO investigation unit in orange writing some where on the back. It's only proper ya know. just kidding

I might do that(contact him) but I kind of want to see what it looks like once it is skinned first to get a better idea what it looks like.

As mikey said paint sucks but it is possible. You can pick up older versions of Adobe Photoshop, like v 7, for under $100 if i recall correctly.If thats out of your budget, give paint.net a try http://www.getpaint.net/ I personally use photoshop 7. I have tried CS series but I just dont like them as much as 7. The only major advantage of say CS4, is it handles more image formats, and it can even load a 3ds model in 3d. Over all though it just doesnt offer much new to make me want to switch, and thats price aside.

Locking compresses the files even more though just fyi.

^just double click the mod file and it will do all the work for you.

^yep. Maybe this was another game then. I tried Fire Captin 3 but that wasnt it, and I cant think of any other games like this for PC.

PNG works fine.

Just to make sure I am clear, although i dont believe it will matter, it functions EXACTLY like the engineers ability to rotate but it is on a vehicle.

Scaling is done in zmod.

Wow they have there own PD cars for schools? All we have is the regular cvs marked just like the city. One or two may say School Safety across the top or bottom of the rear window.

Ok I just assumed since the EMTs on the LA Mod cant use them this was how it was in real life.

I know that. I was referring to a vehicle with the ability.

Thats not a Chevy 5500 is it?
