Thanks Mike. @NFK, yeah i see what you mean just figured they had upgrades to improve there handling, but then again chances are there not going to be primary on a high speed chase, and if they are needed in a chase due to terrain I suppose the other vehicles probably not much fast or better handling then the Explorer Expedition/Explorer. Last question for awhile, maybe. Is the E-series pretty much the standard for a coroner to use for transporting bodies? I have looked all over the net and havent been able to find the coroners van for my city/county.

Hmm so if it requires a "new" person then why cant we simply use the model files for a perso,create new prototype,n then create the animation? What about making new vehicle animations?

Guess I should have searched. :$ I never realized the old thread actually got an answer.: http://forum.emergency-planet.com/index.ph...p;hl=animations And yes Luisinho, I was under that impression to, but then i read that thread awhile back so I am not sure.

How do you create new people animations?

32nm are already in the works? Sheesh time flys, but yes, more then likley I will get one of those 2. I have a Q6600 and its got great bang for the buck but I am looking for a bit more performance. Factor in a dedicated OS drive, probably 500 or 650 GB WD. I looked at SSD but the one I wanted was over a thousand usd so I think I can live with out that for now. When I order I plan to finish off this build as I didnt have money for a few parts last time like cathodes and uv cables and a dedicated os drive. Getting some mesh fan grills to because dust has been relay bad in this apt. I think I will stick with my 9800GTX+ as it gets the job done, but considered getting a SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 4870 as the extra bang wouldnt hurt. I dont really do any single graphic intensive things, its just that i do alot of little stuff at once some times.

Well I certainly agree with you here but again it comes down to the content. I doubt he is going to be needed to do huge cgi scenes(which granted none of the above can do I dont think) like a bus or plane blowing up like you might find in the latest blockbuster. For example one of the comps I speak of was MMA fights. Well UFC fights to be specific, but anyways, they made an intro video previewing there next release, which then led you to a nice menu allowing you to choose play all or chapters. Say we choose play all. You have a nice cut away screen which then leads into fight 1. Now fight 1 is over and its time to move on to fight 2. Well here again you get a nice transition into a screen showing you who the next fight is. This screen usually consists of music, text and what I would guess is an animated gif as the video of fight 2 is shown playing while its a bit clouded over if ya get what I mean. Another transition and into fight 2. Then repeat. This is about the same extent that a true UFC home dvd would follow. I guess what I am saying is call it what you want, while Nero has no doubt gone down the crapper over the past few years its capable of some marvelous work and might be just right for the project at hand. Perhaps its not. Oh and no pissing contest mike, just a civilized debate/convo.

Hostage - PD for the parameter. SWAT-1 or 2 Swat officers, scout, negotiator, and possibly a sharp shooter. Demo - SWAT respond and flash bangs. Unless its large and out control then PD sets up a parameter as best as possible and the SWAT Water Cannon will be sent in. Quake- The quake is wide spread and random its hard to say.If there are fires I send an engine or 2 depending on the size. Then I tend to use the EMS supervisor to drop off a Medic to treat the person or people then head off to another person. Drop a medic. Of course thats after I have used up all 4 ambulances on the map. Traffic Light - Usually nearest patrol car with 2 officers. This way I use the car to redirect for one lane(lets say a north bound lane). An officer to redirect traffic on the side straight across from the police car(southbound). And an officer to the east or west. This allows one lane of traffic to still flow freeley and try to prevent any traffic jams. It can be kind of fun to play it both ways.

Yeah just wondered if it was money or finding it. Well like NFK said the LA Mod takes care of it minus a few things. I couldnt even learn spanish in high school so trust me if I couldnt play it in English I would be mostly lost.

What kind of mods does the Explorer and Expedition use? I would guess modified sway bars, suspension tweaks, and things like that to help it in cornering? And maybe some armor if there feds? What about the Econoline? The only purpose I have seen them serve is for transporting alot of people which there already designed for anyways so its not like they need suspension tweaks.

I love the deluxe map. Whats stopping you from getting Em4 Deluxe?

Well bomb/bomb scares are on the non deluxe to if i recall correctly. When using the non deluxe map I got a few bomb scares, but still not alot. Enough to keep me on my toes, but a few more wouldnt have heart either.

Sure searhc the forums for specifics but off hand, edit freeplayparams.xml and/or freeplayparams_d.xml/

You actually have it working in the game or did i misunderstand?

Purely a guess, but i would imagine its in lafirestationstart(or something like that).script. I havent been able to figure it out yet though looking through that script so maybe its in another OR its simply hard coded into the game.

Since were on that topic(sort off), will you be adding more bomb scares? I use the deluxe version as it is, and I have played freeplay many of time, usually only for an hour or two, and only once or twice have i got bomb scares.

The things i do is send a chp or two into position near a highway, send the LAPD patrol car, Slick top, unmarked(with a few PD and/or SWAT), and both chargers to patrol. and i find this is usually sufficent. Then dispatch SWAT as needed in there truck and bomb squad and such units as needed. I leave SWAT units and Bomb Squad and other PD units that arent needed to much to the PD parking lot(not the parking strip out front. I have LAFD station 1 equipeed with 2 ALS,2 BLS, and 3 ALS ambulances in the bays, plus a BC, EMS sup, brush and HES out side station 1. At station 2 i leave it stock as far as the bays, and have the ems sup and HEs parked out side. Anything else I send in as needed for the most part.

It a rifle but I know what ya mean. These can be a real pain at times. One time I sent the small swat Truck with 3 swat and a sharpshooter, all got killed, sent the Swat bus(forgot the name) full of swat and almost all manager to get killed. This is why i use the pd water tank to take care of him. Granted its not the proper way and it hurts your score perhaps, even requires ALS or BLS ambulance, but it gets the job done.

True, just thought I would suggest it to save you and the team and other the work of people reporting stuff and telling them get the patch. I know this is hardly IPB or vB or soemthing like that but usually bug fixes can be obtained with a whole download or a patch for those who know what there doing and working with vB for years now I am used to a pattern like this so thought it might be good use to apply such a pattern here.

Well thats because one is better then the other. Hows that ASUS card? Never heard people favor ASUS in the video card department. I thought about upgrading to a core i7 here in a month or so but I think I might hold off as I dont really want to upgrade my mobo, and ram just for a new processor when a dedicated OS drive and maybe an upgraded Quad Core will get the job done. I havent priced things yet though so no telling I might go for the i7.

Depends on what unit I have available for fires at the time. Station 1 is staffed with 2 BLS and 2 ALS Engines, plus 3 ALS Ambulances, then the normal set up in the bays. Then a Brush, HES, BC, and EMS Supervisor vehicles out back. 1: One ALS or BLS as primary, then more BLS or ALS Engines as needed. 2: Depends on the extent of the MVA and what units are available. Typically one or two squad cars. Now the actual dept I send varies on which law enforcement unit is closest by. Now if there is a fire, and there happens to be an engine returning to the station close by, I grab it. Otherwise I favor a an ALS Engine as the deck gun will put the fire out by it self if treated in time and that leaves the personnel to treat the injured until an ALS and or BLS ambulance(s) can arrive for further treatment and transport. If extrication is needed, then I have HES at both stations and will dispatch one of them. 3: ALS or BLS as primary again and more ALS or BLS engines as needed. 4: If its just a person with a hand gun I send a SWAT SUV(FBI SUV modified to hold SWAT personnel instead.), try to flash bang if possible and arrest them. Now if its a person with a rifle, I send the water cannon and usually just let that shoot him until he needs medical care.

Nero may not be top of the line but none the less I know guys who pull together professional looking dvds all the time using nothing but Nero.

Is there any particular reason as to why the USFS trucks have pumps on the rear? And second, just wondered if Ford makes any sort of interceptor packages for the Tarus? Occasionally I notice them used as undercover cars like yesterday I saw a navy blue one that was undercover.

Why not just patch the game yourself hoopah so people dont need the patches if there installing for the first time?

Hmm I dunno, could they perhaps be in the first post of the thread? Just a guess.
