EldoradoMan

What do you need help with exactly? Do you mean you can't find the mod in the game?

After I download it and unzip it, I install it and later a shortcut pops up on my desktop. I don't know which icon to click (the LA Mod or the 911 FR). I've tried both in the pass and both seem to freeze and/or crash to my desktop.

How do I use the LA Mod? Do I go through my 911 FR game or what exactly?

How do I start the LA Mod? Do I go through 911 FR or what exactly?

when the vehicles stop the sirens stay on, not sure if its a bug or not

I've notice that too. Its annoying.

1. Not going to answer.. I don't know whats wrong there..

2. At the start of freeplay you have to call in those units off map to place them there.. It's not a bug.

3. Maybe your system is not fast enough, lower the settings perhaps?

4. It does not, you have to call ladder one out of station to HQ, or where ever, then call the tiller on map, and send it to the station

Ok, I'll try lowering my settings. Thanks

Any problem related to the Los Angeles Mod can be posted in this topic. You can also post possible bugs here.

List with all reported and confirmed bugs below:

LA mod v1.9 bugs:

- New map: Several areas where traffic can get stuck.

- New map: The cars from a car accident near LA river explode almost immediatly when that event happens

- New map: Pawn Shop building has wrong physics (they block more than they have to)

- Chase command: Officers do not get rid of their equipment.

- Chase command: Can chase emergency personnel

- Chase command: Does not work with the unmarked car.

- When it starts raining on any of the freeplay maps it never stops raining again

- Diver not available in mission 7 (Police chase ends in tragedy)

- When the fire engine is not present in FS2, the HAZMAT squad parks wrong.

Multiplayer:

- Using the chase command officers are invisible as soon they get out of the car.

I have a bunch of bugs to report. First, my campain never saves at all. Second, there's never a thrid ambluance or a second ALS and BLS engine in station one. Thrid, it either freezes on me or gets really slow almost immeadently after I start the game. And maybe fourth, I thought station one housed the tiller automadically.

Download the Mission Patch and read the Read Me. That will tell you how to install the patch.

ok, thank you.

How do I get the mission patch to work on EM4?

I'm having trouble with this mission, too. I can't get the fire's under control. I send out 8 hydro tanks.

Game Name: E.P. EldoradoMan

Department: doesn't matter

Server: no

Time: e-mail me to schedule something at joeygoodrich@charter.net

Additions: maybe cheats, endless game, regular EM4 or LA Mod doesn't matter

But i cant click it! Its brown, so i cant click it.

I have that same problem and I have 911: FR. I can't figure it out either.

I finally figured out how to do this. But I need help editing the scripts. It say's that Windows needs to know where I got the script in the first place. Am I doing something wrong, or is it Windows fault?

Between steps 3 and 4. If you follow the directions you would see this.

Ok, I will try it again for the 20th time.

Well, I went through the steps over and over again and I still don't understand it nor can't get it to work.

Download The New Freeplay Map Version 1.2

Download links below the instructions. Read the instructions first!!! I made them with a reason.

Installation Instructions:

1. Download and unpack the New_Freeplay_Floor.zip file. (25mb's! large)

2. Move the folder 'Los Angeles Mod v1.7' to your Emergency 4/Mods folder.

3. This is a universal file, so it's for both versions and won't replace any file.

Now you should have in your mods\Los Angeles Mod v1.7\maps the following file: newfreeplay.eft

(So you don't have to rename it!)

4. Download and unpack the New_Freeplay_deluxe.zip OR New_Freeplay_normal.zip file. (Depending on you version of em4)

5. Move the folder 'Los Angeles Mod v1.7' to your Emergency 4/Mods folder.

6. Make sure all older files will be overwritten (otherwise you did something wrong).

What do u mean on step 6? What are the files that I have to overwrite.

There isn't anything under the DATA folder and above the atari file? Hmm... that's odd. are you sure you followed the exact path I stated? going into your C drive, then program files?

Try downloading the Mod again? I know that isn't the solution for everything, but maybe it was somehow deleted?

I tried downloading it again, and after I open the LA Mod folder it shows the manual, the actually mod to install into the game and the readme booklet.

Have you installed the LA MOD is first question,if not goto downloads section,top of page

And if/once you have it installed it willbe located here

Start my computer C/Program files/sixteentons entertainment or wizard works/Emergency 4 or 911 first responders/Mods/LAMOD 1.81/Maps

I left something out. I've downloaded the LA Mod, but I need help finding the maps folder. I don't see it in there.

Never mind, I found it.

Wizardworks or Sixteentons --> 911:First Responders or Emergency 4 --> Mods --> Los Angeles Mod 1.8 --> Scripts --> Game --> Command

The files should be under the the Command folder. You'll probably need to edit the LAFireStationStart, LAFireStation and LAtoFireStation scripts.

I opened 911: FR folder, but I don't see a mods folder to open.

Because it's one of the most asked questions on the forum I made a list of what files have to be changed when you want to replace a vehicle in one of the fire stations. This includes changing the command to call it from the fire station.

It's impossible to explain every detail in the script, so some scripting knowledge might be handy.

It's NOT adviced to make any changes to the (bays of the) engine's and ambulances, because they have a far more advanced script logic. Patience is required to do this.

Lets say you want to replace the USAR squad with the Watertender, because they have about the same size and only one of them can be parked in the bay.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Files which are necessary to change:

LAFireStationStart.script (to spawn the vehicle at start)

LAFireStation.script (for crew and gate information at fire station)

LAToFireStation.script (park command)

LABattalionChief.script (call command)

Other:

Adding the "Go to fire station" command to the new vehicle

Removing the "Go to fire station" command to the replaced vehicle

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

LAFireStationStart.script

First thing you can try is to let it spawn at the right spot with crew when you start a new game. LAFireStationStart.script does nothing more than that. Some analizing of LAFireStationStart.script reveals that the prototype of the USAR squad is mentioned in line 23. Changing that prototype to any other prototype is enough to spawn another object. in this case "water_tender.e4p".

You don't need to change the constants or anything else. Same thing counts for other things explained later.

When you further look for USAR, you should eventually find line 230 which should say

ActorList l12 = Game::GetActors(VO_USAR);

The lines below are important. They set number of passengers (and sometimes transports), speed and the crew that enters the vehicle at start. Notice the numer that is used in the crew line. The code of that line refers to another script and calls a single unit for that vehicle. The numbers refer to the certain unit (USAR firefighter in this case).

List of possible units:

1 = FF/PM with case

2 = FF/PM's with stretcher

3 = FF/EMT

4 = Battalion Chief

5 = FF HAZMAT

6 = USAR FF

7 = FF/EMT's with stretcher

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Important tips: You can do millions of things with C++, it's impossible to explain everything, just compare your code with other codes in the scripts. For example: When you want to add 4 firefighters instead of 2 just look at other parts in the script. Besides that, testing is very important. If you fail first time, please try it again before going to the forum. _{And remember kids, it's like sex, you don't immediatly run to mommy and daddy when you can't get it up at your first date.}

That's it for now. I hope most people understand this. When I have more time I will see if I can explain the other scripts.

Whats the folder called that I do this editing?

Before you do this back up your mods map folder to your desktop

Right instructions are

People with EM4 deluxe

Put these folders in your LA mod maps as they dfreeplay.e4m dfreeplay.dds including the eft file The d represents deluxe believe it or not

People with 911 first responders and EM4 UK edition

edit the files dfreeplay.e4m dfreeplay.dds to freeplay.e4m freeplay.dds before you place them in the LA mods map folder do not change the eft file at all just drop it into the folder as it is

It will ask you if you want to overwrite the the e4m and dds files say yes

This will work, if you follow these instructions then you will not have any issues

Where is the LA Mod folder located?

I can't get it to work. Its downloaded, its saved; What am I doing wrong?

One way you can tell the difference is. The old one is a Freightliner and the new one is an International.

I installed the LA Mod onto my em4 and when I try to play it, it makes the whole game crash to my desktop. Why does this happen?

P.S. I have no idea if this is the right place to ask for help.

P.S.S. I found out where this was supposed to go after I posted it. How do I move it to the correct forum

That's the beauty of the game! There are thousands of answers to this question, and you need to find the best way for you.

The basics:

Fire fighting vehicles to extinguish the flames

Ambulances to transport the wounded

Crane to remove wreckage

Vehicle with jump bag and extrication tools

Engineer vehicle

and PD helps to block the street traffic out front.

How many, and what kind, type and how, well that's all up to you.

Ok I see, Thanks.

I just realized that there are two missions that are at an airport. I was talking about the hi-jacked airplane one in the first place. But now I need help with this one (terminal on fire). I almost passed it but, I failed because too many people died. How do you put the fire out, clear the runway and save the people all at the sametime.

What vehicles and personnel are needed to complete the mission? And how many do you need?

I really need ur guys help on this. Im new here and I saw the vids on youtube for Em4, but I have no idea hot get it, and also please tell me were you get it. Also are 911 first responders and Em4 the same thing? Please guys I really need your help

Ebay (US site) has EM4 in english for $9.99. Its from Sweden. Also, Direct2Drive has the American version. That's where I got mine.

Now thats an emergency scenario fit for a game! Madness!

If you haven't, check out the landslide after it. That looks like a sweet scenario.
