Wow! I LOVE High Stakes. I can't say that I'm a huge fan of the era/vehicles/geography personally but it looks like a LOT of work was put into them. Well done!

Yes indeed ..And thanks to a fellow named Yevgeny (nickname Veg) who made a patch for the game to tweak it models perviously out of reach now can be played, He killed the poly limit in the game or made it insanely high if not totally killing it, That 1958 Wartburg is 18246 polies , For some of these cars you need that patch to play with them or the game will certainly crash after loading.

Years ago I couldn't help but notice the abundance of ColdWar East Bloc vehicles floating around from various sites for various games that would work in N.F.S. HighStakes and also the handful that was made for N.F.S. HighStakes already.. Years ago after Noise on NFS Addons mentioned how it would be neat to have a ColdWar mod using these I have compiled over 5 years research and talked to the various Former VoPos and other former East Bloc citizens I have met in a collector's forum I'm a member of and also met some on YouTube..After my countless conversations and research to accurately make the police and civillian vehicles as accurate as the game alloows..I Present to you the N.F.S. HighStakes ColdWar Mod (started in mid 2011 and still continuing) When ever possible NO detail has been spared or left untouched in the police officers driving the police vehicles for each country in the mod. I have attempted to build the most comprehensive force to pursue you the player starting with old to what was the norm by 1980's.

D.D.R. VolksPolizei starting with 1950's and working to late 1980's.

Police Station:

1958 Wartburg 312 (I also have a station wagon (Kombi) of this in the works.

The credits for this base car go to whoever built the Mafia Ikarus Mod (No READ.Me in it so I don't know who)

1959 Volga M21 (Purchased along with the M22 (Station Wagon) from TurboSquid 

Lada 2107 VolksVerkehrsPolizei:

Lada 2101 Zhiguli multi pursuit (thanks to Franknfurter for multible textures:

Lada 2106 VolksPolizei (base vehicle is Arman's from NFS Cars:

Lada 212 Niva VolksPolizei (1982)

Volga M24 Soviet Militia GAI unit.:

Lada 2101 Zhiguli Soviet Militia GAI unit:

Polski Fiat 125P Polish Milicja (car made by modding Arman's Lada 2106)

I have others but they are in the process of being redone and will be reposted later when done. So what you'all think? Neat eh? And a trip back in time LOL. 

I see..That explains alot..When I saw that file and listened to it I thought it was used when dealing with the demonstrators crowded around the entrance of a building.

I notice in both the U.S. and German versions of this game there is a file of police hollering on a bullhorn to the demonstrators..Yet in game play this never seems to happen, Is there a way to make the police holler at the crowds with a bullhorn? What key do I push?

PS..Not sure if this goes here..If not a admin can move it.

I get the error:

A device attached to the system is not functioning.

Ok after some rips from the DDR mod and M60 mod I found the models are decent enough for N.F.S. HighStakes you need to resize them to 200% in CarCad otherwise they look like diecast models in the game, After resizing them they work beautifully.

Here you can see the VolksPolizei water cannon from the D.D.R. mod and the UAZ police van from the M60 mod:

is their anyway to make it so you can call more Police cars and if a cop gets wounded call one off them as it was a pain having a cop car with only one cop in it because the other got wounded and i didn't know how to get him back Also Epic mod man it was a little hard at first then it got More fun with a Humvee got ambushed for no reason it was unexpected and Epic so good work man

I called 2 cop cars out to a terrorist hunt so I'd say you can call as many as the dept. has as long as you have the money as it costs money to call local emergency services.

Perfect time to bring it back up when it relates to the topic

Agreed..But it seems people either don't watch for new posts much or they are having so much fun playing with the game they can't tear them selves away to reply .

Anyway I was wondering if the mod editor is only in the Deluxe Emergency 4 or if the regular one has it too? I just have the regular one installed, Don't have Deluxe. If it's a Deluxe only thing then that is why I and maybe others can't find it no where.

Threads a wee bit old.

I guess we should start a new one then.

on your desktop get the emergency 4 / 911 FR shortcut and copy it. right click on it and click on properties. on the shortcut tab go to the target line and insert this on the end of the target line:

-editor

so if you had 911 FR it would look like this:

"C:\Program Files\WizardWorks\911 - First Responders\EM4.exe" -editor

I tried this and it says that path: "C:\Program Files (x86)\WizardWorks\911 - First Responders\Em4.exe"-editor is NOT valid,I even tried removing the -..Same thing..Not Valid.

The London mod was reported as broke..I downloaded it and it plays fine on my PC though.

The last time I tried playing it was a couple years ago, I'm not even sure I still have the game CD. I'll give that thing a try though...

NFS models do work in EM4... at least the earlier, low-poly ones. I would suggest getting rid of the interiors though, and making the glass opaque. If you can cut on polies, it's a good idea too.

I believe the Crown Vic model used by Hoppah in the LA mod actually came from a NFS model... (could even be the HP2 Crown Vic, I'm not sure about this one)

No I meant would the Emergency 4 mod vehicles work in NFS High Stakes..Or are those way too high poly to use in that game..I know the siren sounds work well in HighStakes so I'm hoping the models would too, I used one for my Bulgarian police car:

Haha! Yeah, I was... but that was - wow, time flies - about 12 years ago. I'm amazed that there's still some modding going on for a game that I can't even get to run on my PC because it won't recognize my relatively recent graphics card as something that exists.

I'm particularly proud about the last cars I made for NFS based off the Dodge Diplomat. I see you've got 2 there, the CHP cruiser (by far my best) and the SQ Caravelle. I'm pretty sure at some point I also made a Nevada HP slicktop, but I can't find it on your site. If I still have the file somewhere, I'll send it your way.

Ok..Thanks.

Yes NFS HighStakes will never die off because it by far is the easiest to work with..The programs you use to make police and other emergency vehicles is cut and dry..No complicated tasks to remember. Only drawbacks is TGA limits: 256X256 (most used) and 512X512 (rarely used) I'm kind of wondering if the vehicles from Emergency 4 mods would work for HighStakes or if they is too high poly..I could definatly use the DDr VolksPolizei Barkas B1000 vans for my ColdWar mod: http://rion-fan.deviantart.com/gallery/38461303

Anyway about your PC issues and HighStakes?..Have you tried using the stock packs from Jim Diablo? I got mine to work that way and setting the game to admin rights.

Who on here mods for NFS HighStakes? I love that game because it is so easy to work with and there is a plethera of vehicles one can use to make mods. while I don't build anything from scratch I do repaint and decal vehicles to several agencies around my area and around the World. I also do sirens for the game.

You can check out my mods here:

www.nfspolicehq.com

I know VooDoo Operator was quite active on this game once .

I am playing the Russia mod (M60 Road Mod) and I have changed it to a city by replacing the map with that of the game it's self..I need to add a option to police..I need them to redirect traffic at wrecks or other instances when I want them to..I added the game's default: Redirect and Redirect traffic command strings but they still won't control traffic like the police do in other mods..Adding redirect though DID make them control and reroute people.

What do I need to do to make these guys do the same with traffic?

1 sec blackscreen then crash to desktop

Well you can try what I did..Reinstall your Windows, Disable updater and update notifier and then try to play the game..If it still won't work I don't know what you could do.

I had a simular issue..The screen would go black like it was gonna boot the game but then a few seconds later it would just return to the desktop.

I had to reinstall my Windows 7 Home Premium and then kill ALL of the Windows update things and the update reminders and reinstall the game.

Will the game boot up or does it just go to a black screen for a few seconds and then right back to your desktop?

So when do you think the U.S.S.R. mod will be out? I'd like to try it out..If you need the Soviet Militia siren I have ripped that from SoundDogs for NFS HighStakes but I think it can be used in Emergency 4..Not sure though as I have never made sirens for this game,,The siren is a Tesla AZD..It was made in Czechoslavakia but used in U.S.S.R. too..Here is a video showing my mod with it..It's at the final parts:

You edit that on specs you dont use scripts.

Yeah..I found that out late lastnight..It's in the 2 Base things. 1 other thing though..How can I make the police start controlling traffic? I tried the Redirect script..Well that added the ability to control people now but still I can't get them to control traffic..Only can make them stop it..I need to make them reroute it the other way at some wrecks,fires,etc.

I have a question..I'm playing the Russia mod for Emergency 4 (M60 Road) I changed the map to make it from a small village to BIG city..So I'm wondering..If I edit the scripts can I increase the number of police,Fire,and EMS vehicles available? I been looking at the scripts but don't know what to change to make more vehicles available for me.

I too have had this issue..I think it is something to do with Windows's Updates..Because when my install of Windows 7 Home Premium was fresh it worked fine..After about 5 months it stopped working but everything else was fine..So I've reinstalled my Windows 7 Home Premium and disabled ALL updates and Autoupdater and I checked to make sure the game played and it did so now it might not quit working.

I didn't find no where with a place for this so I'll put it here (admins can move it if need be)

I have the DDR mod on Emergency 4 and there is 2 things that seem to be missing from it (Can't solve all freeplay missions with what it has in it)

Seems the DDR had no jaws of life for severe car crashes..I know these should be in the fire dept. but I can't find them..I tried all vehicles and none seem to have them.

Another thing is what do I do with the crazy suicidal people wanting to jump out of the 2nd story of buildings? I tried a ladder truck but that didn't help..Ladder went up way too high, Is there is trampoline or net to put out for them? I've had to wait til they jump and then just pronounce them dead and call out the hearse.

When a vehicle skids off the bridge and goes into the river it seems you can't solve this either..I call out the divers but they won't go into the vehicle,they just swim around it.

Other than these issues it is a fine mod . So is these things that might be fixed by just importing equipment from the game's default files?

I have got to try this..I don't know alot of German but I might be able to whim it ..

I have been collecting DDR things about 7 years now,(what started with finding some DDR coins in my coin collection lead to getting other things)..Collection isn't very big but key highlights are these:

Anyway back to the mod..I have a idea for people wanting this to be in English..Could not you just copy all the sirens,people,and vehicles folders and just paste and replace them into the standard untampered game? I think that might work and would put it in English. This is what I'm gonna try and see how well it works out. If it works ok it will sort of be like a game of the OLD Polizeiruf 110 show XD.
