    Still looking for the flash drive in question. It's lost somewhere in my old desk. Rest assured it will be found, for both you and YSB's sake

    YSB is long gone I assume so are you allowed to share his work? Personally, I feel this rule is a bit dated at this point as long as proper credits are given and no one tries plagiarism. 

     

    @Grim_Wizard great signature lol

    The first edition of this mod (something something Chester County?) was a rather impressive reskin of the LA mod and played fine. The second edition of this mod was an very impressive total overhaul of all the units and included a new map and new scripts, that version would play for about 20-30min and then crash to the desktop.

    I see some old faces still around. ;) 

     

    The one I recall had a different map then LA. I cant recall to many units but there was a pick up truck police vehicle as best as I recall. It was a rural map, and I believe a tanker truck was in there too. It's been awhile..so hard to say. 

     

    BTW , when's the release date? 😁 (I see something never change 😆)

  3. I just wanted to say I think some of the more seasoned devs(myself only slightly included given my hiatus for a few years)  need to give this guy some credit. @Phantom I did some homework on you. 

     

    I see you have done yourself a service and learned a few things since 2015. ;) It seems to be paying off! Keep up the good work and I hope one day your complete the Honey Creek Modification. Being from Indiana myself it would be nice to see a rural Indiana based mod. Just don't forget the cornfields! ;) 

     

    Oh and kinda OT, but your UI mod looks good. I would suggest doing something to downplay the flashing lights on the main menu. It's a little to harsh on the eyes on that scale imo. Also I think you should follow suit with the rest of the blue ui accents/buttons turning them black. Keep up the good work on that as well!

  4. I'm surprised this mod hasnt gotten more feedback then this! I got in some play time on this mod tonight in single player freeplay! It was rough though for reasons stated above. If I took the time to possibly script in auto-spawning units, I would hope it is something that the mod authors would allow me to release.

    It is a bug, maybe will be fixed in next patch.

    I'd rather see a core function fixed with in the mod rather then additional units. Otherwise, I only played a short time but I am glad to see this mod actually got released in the end! Keep up the good work!

    Yeah. I've noticed more people liking EM4 since Em5-20 are much harder to mod and require more and more software. 

    So I am a bit confused here. This sounds a bit on the opposite end of what I am getting from Stan's post. Point being is I just jumped back in the deep end here. I was planning to be back around Jan-Feb but life happens. I was honestly just going to lurk through, grab any updated mods by chance, and get me in to a game of EM4. Instead, I stumbled on Stan's post that sounds like a confirmation that the community is slowly dying out. Just like in life, all good things must come to an end. However, I was thinking something along the lines of any willing and active devs to commit our projects to the likes of github and we all open source our projects under something like an apache license. I mean, let's face it, this is a hobby project. No one is here to generate a profit. Let's colab and create with a mutual understanding that of course we need some unique units of features in each mod to keep things fresh.  @Stan if you don't mind me asking, I assume you cover server expenses out of or mostly out of pocket for the server itself? 

     

     

    This is not intended to be an angry rant but it does sadden me that 10 years later this project is only a WIP. I can not find any logical explanation why this is only a WIP? I mean the project will never be 100% accurate at launch but why not push patches to update units and functions as needed at this point? I'm not saying you guys have to release this now, I just can not find any logical explanation as to why this project is only a WIP 10 years later?

    Guess most people left. Dutch emergency forums got closed and the German one is getting quite too.

    Lets be honest, emergency 5 was not the dream modders dreamed to happen

    Blast from the past here...looks like you finally got the forums in good shape...goodjob! EMP was my first stop on the scene again in a few months and it sounds like the fan base for the game is dyeing out. Looks like some of the die hards are still hanging in there such as these guys, CFD, itchboy, random person, etc. 

     

    Just kind of a random thought, but if the modding community is as bad off as you say, maybe it would be best for everyone to join forces and try to focus on one project at a time? I mean this mod itself was going to push EM4 far beyond anything any of us really thought the engine could handle. The original EM4 code base is what 10 years old now? This mod itself is coming up on 9 years? How many fans have long moved on from EM4 that will never enjoy this mod because of the amount of time it has spent being developed?

    i remember the first Montana mod was one of my favorites, I understand updating but why take a good mod that was working fine down then have nothing for YEARS, all the while saying were working on it yet you hear nothing in months or years...at least let us play the original one..WIP translates to we gave up sorry but look how many wip have became DEAD... Miami mod,New York mod all DEAD nothing in years.

    Leave the originals UNTIL the new one is completed.  It's gotten to the point i don't even bother getting excited anymore because  soon as i see WIP i know don't hold your breath. I'd rather know NOTHING about a priject then get it when its done then get teased...and have it go dead 

    I've checked in on EMP very sporadically in my absence. I know the link was removed ages ago but I never quite understood this either? I agree that the Montana mod was probably my favorite, maybe second only to my own projects. Maybe I am just a bit biased though. 😂

     

    @itchboy any chance we could get that reup of the old mod?

    That's ysb's patch for my submod. This was just his patches for my mod and my ambulance patch. If anyone has the full thing, host it in the cloud and I'll edit the DL link in the OP.

    ?VVideoTexture::InitTextureRenderer(): could not find output pin [80040216]
