First the iMac, well lets see, Mac charges for updates that are about the equivalent of a free service pack update from Microsoft. The when it comes to the computer itself, your going to pay more money for a weaker PC. The main thing your paying for is the operating system. Secondly as for the PSU(power supply) yes it does matter, but it depends what hardware you run. The main factor in this is really the video card. The bigger the card(in terms of power not size), the bigger the PSU needs to be. A 550 watt like I posted is ample for that build, even for a 5750 video card. Third if you mainly just game, you could always downgrade to a dual core cpu, and upgrade the video card, and maybe power supply. The nice thing is, if down the road, you need more power, you could swap out the dual core cpu(Core i3 or Core i5) to a Core i7 860 and have a higher end quad core CPU. With a Dell, and likley a Mac, this wont be upgradable.

Dont you think this is question best suited for asking AFTER the game is release? Until then I suspect no one knows but the devs.I mean we may be able to find out that the scripts still use C++, but unless we know exactly how the code for EM5 is written theres no way to tell.

^so put them in a zip and then attach them. Do not include the e4t file, only the e4m files.

Your best bet is to keep it as is. Seeing as the tower ladder is already in FS2, this complicates matters greatly as you then have to account for telling the game to go to the closest stations, unless there a ladder there already.

Thanks Hoppah!

Yes, forget about sketch up. The models are almost always to complex for EM4. You can search this forum for more information as its been covered a million times.

Thats much better. Now the Core i5 is a great choice, but I wouldnt go with this particular Core i5 as it uses the 1366 Socket, this means the cost of the motherboard goes up as it is meant to accommodate 3 or 6 sticks of ram where as a computer using the 1156 socket on the mobo is designed to run 2 or 4 sticks. For the CPU I would go with a i5-750. If thats not an option or to expensive, heres a list of good cpus: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100006519%2050001157%2040000343%20600005864%20600005584&IsNodeId=1&name=Core%20i3 and http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100006519%2050001157%2040000343%20600005864%20600005579&IsNodeId=1&name=Core%20i5 A Core i3 would likley get the job done if your not going to do anything that requires alot of CPU like video editing. 6GB DDR3 SDRAM at 1333MHz- 3 DIMMs - Well if you change the cpu like I said your going to want 4GB 2 DIMMs rather then 6GB/3Dimms. Problem is you dont know what brand they are. So its hard to gauge how reliable it will be. 1TB - 7200RPM, SATA 3.0Gb/s, 16MB Cache - Again no name brand(not your fault just how Dell,HP,and the rest of them are), so relaibility is questionable. However I would atleast switch it for a 1 TB w/ 32 MB Cache if possible. ATI Radeon HD 5450 1GB DDR3 - Pretty low end card. I can see it playing EM5 on low settings if thats ok with you? What other games do you play? 16X DVD+/-RW Drive Now if you will take it up on yourself to build the pc, heres what I would suggest: http://secure.newegg.com/WishList/PublicWishDetail.aspx?WishListNumber=12513111 Cost before Shipping: $729 Price After Rebates: $680 That would leave $20 for shipping so you might go slightly over budget. This assumes your in the US. Your going to sacrifice some cpu power compared to the Dell but chances are you should be fine. The second important thing to notice is your getting a more powerful video card, important for gaming. The third thing to note is reliability. The chances of a part going out are slimmer. Assuming a part does go out it likley had a warranty and all you have to do is ship that part back rather then ship the whole PC. Assuming that piece is anything other then the hard drive, and you ship it back to Dell, you risk loosing everything on the HDD. Last but not least, upgradeable. If you want to upgrade the CPU to a Core i7 860 in a few months, you can.If you want to upgrade the video card, you can. If you upgrade the video card you may have to upgrade the PSU/Power Supply, however with the Dell almost none of these upgrades in the future would be possible.

Everything is pretty much ready to go aside from hellhumpers model, Kookas models, and Conroys lights. When its done I will probably have a little more private beta testing just to make sure everythings good, and then it will be released.

Is irrelevant. Quantity doesnt mean quality. eMachine ET183107 / ET1831-07 - Well theres the first problem. 2.70GHz Intel Pentium Dual-Core E5400 Processor - Not a bad CPU but AMD makes better low end CPU. 4GB DDR2 SDRAM Memory - What brand? 750GB Serial ATA Hard Drive - What brand? There was a batch of 750 GB Seagates that came out a few years ago that had major reliability problems. Microsoft Windows 7 Premium 64-bit Edition - I would have probably stuck with Win XP 32 bit. 16X DVD+_R/RW SuperMulti Drive - Hard to go to wrong, but it is possible. Companies like Dell or HP often buy drives from Lite-On and other manufactures, and slap some custom firmware on the drive making it trash. NVIDIA GeForce 7050 graphics for excellent video playback - JUNK. I hope you dont plan to play EM5 on this thing. If you have bought this, so be it, but for $700 you could have built a quality machine that would last you years to come.

Thanks for the comments w00ds, best of luck on the house and thanks for the great map.

Why would you need to PM Dyson when you could post in the thread? As for rar, a simple google search will give you instant an instant answer. Google is almost always an instant problem solver.

NP. As for Atomic Monkey, not to offend him but I dont think he knows what hes talking about. I could be wrong, as I havent looked at the map aside from the pics, so assuming it just an eft(texture file), e4m(the map data like VOs and such), and dds file(for the minimap) the map should work just fine.

Sometimes we follow this guide to. A few months ago there was a wreck nearby(stupid tress blocking my view). In thisw case Rescue 3, Quint 9, Engine 2 and Engine 4 were called because there were about 5-6 people trapped in two vehicles. In this case AMR was having a hard time getting to the scene because traffic was backing up since the detours just werent meant to handle that volume of traffic. I heard them over the scanner say that fire already had the patient on a backboard, bandaged and ready for transport. lol no problem, sorry if I got carried away just thought it was the best way to describe it. Keep in mind were a mdeium size cit, I suppose, but alot of people myself included grew up here when it was more of a small town environment and some times forget how much the city has expanded over the past 5 years.

I dont think so...I have asked before but didnt get an answer. I could use them though..

What about deleting tech help topics with out a log file or dxdiag?

Its hard to help if you cant answer questions, again: The topic says desktop AND laptop. The thread says desktop OR laptop. Need to establish that You say 700.00. Is that US Dollars? British Pounds? Euros? Finland currency(whatever they use over there)? Pesos?

I think your referring to the SG Submod and my first Submod(not the one in the sig).

Ok try this, find fp_freeplay.script. It will be in the MISSION folder not the Commands folder(when your inside scripts folder). Now open it and remove everything and paste this in there:

Well if you have an ambulance and pumper/quint/rescue(weather it be say a Ford like the HES in LA Mod or the USAR Truck) responding to a medical aid then arent you beating the crap out of both rigs? As for packing up and such, well in the case of an MVA is it fair to say 9/10 your going to just need a preconnect? If so how long is it really going to take to tear down a preconnect?

Go read my response to your other post. Same fix.

Most likley a problem with UAC. Google how to disable User Account Control.

I dont get what you mean? Every map has custom acidents and triggers, but it still uses the games core files to execute them, so its fine. USMan, as for the logfile: http://forum.emergency-planet.com/index.php?/forum-42/announcement-4-read-before-requesting-assistance/

Hmm post a log file. The commands shouldnt need to be removed so long as you dont use them(like the to fire station command)
