Just a personal touch because sometimes campaign can be pain (that statement rhymes). I set the script to only allow the "force disarm" function in Campaign mode. Freeplay mode is the usual condition. You shoot at cop, he/she will shoot back. Its of no consquence there because the game doesnt penalize you for shooting armed suspects. Campaign mode is unrealistic in that it does not allow for justifiable shootings of armed suspects. Its as if the game's rating was made by a social justice warrior or something who expects the cops to get shot just so the suspect doesnt get injured. Its a quirk of Em4 that I've found a way around.

I take advantage of some of my personal LA mod's features. I can arrest the two snipers at the cabin by sending a heli with 2 SWAT officers on board. I arrest them using my modified armed arrest script so they drop the rifle and surrender. Then I send an UNMK car with another 2 SWAT officers to secure the cabin in case some of the terrorists manage to get in the permiter there. Elsewhere, I position police cruisers with 2 officers at various strategic locations where I know the terror vans spawn from. They are: Northwest forest trail Western Forest trail Southern forest trail Coastal road southern portion at map edge Town at east sideOn locations 1, 2, 3, and 5, vans with armed men will spawn. On locations 1, 3, 4 and 5, vans that explode will spawn. The trick here, is to NOT secure the witness until all of the armed terror vans spawn. Usually, locations 2, 3 and 5 will spawn within the first minute (usually at 1:10). The patrol cars I placed here will "block" them preventing them from moving forward. I then use my modified Chase command on the vans to "stop" them. One or three riflemen will exit. Its random. I use my arrest command to disarm them and arrest them. I immediately send a tow truck to tow away each van to prevent them from detonating anyway. After about 4 minutes or so, the bomb vans show up from the above locations. Its pretty easy to repel them. Simply have an officer redirect them, but do not position them in the direct path or they WILL be run over. To be safe, I preferably rely on the redirection lights. Thats why it is essential to have vehicles positioned there. Once the bomb vans are redirected, they will go "out" of the map and harmlessly explode without damaging anything. All the while, I have a pair of LASD vans roving around the map, collecting the arrested terrorists. Here's the issue though. The creators of the game actually did this mission script right. It isnt the same deployment of vans all the time. It usually is just like the above, but there are oftentimes where bomb vans spawn first ahead of the personell vans. In this case, having the strategically placed police cars redirect them will save you the trouble of fighting fires. Fires do ocassionally break out due to the script glitching out and instantly detonating the vans. In which case, I leave an engine at the NE spawn point on stanby just in case. Getting the dead agent's bodies out is the last thing to do. Once the first and second wave of vans runs out from all 5 specified locations, there will no longer be any vans spawned by the game. At this point, I send a single coroner's van, and use the officers at the cabin to declare the agents as dead and give them body bags. The witness by now should be by himself safe on the map with this: much protection. But the objective is to get him out of the map, so I would take the witness, put him in the helicopter, and then send the helicopter home. Mission complete. Note that this solution only applies to my personal LA mod because I modified some scripts to allow the player to disarm all suspects and arrest them peacefully.

Mission 16 - Protection for Top Informant. One of my favorites to play. There's a fine line of very few people who both mod and play Em4.

I'll be having basketball with the president, dunkin on his delegates... Cop SUV Storm da base

Very nice. Very very nice. Appears to be the right lightbar and pushbar, but the winch is wrong. Ur also missing a white thingy on the roof and looks like somethign in the bed of the truck. Blue truck appears to be fine.

For all interested, this is what we based it off. Note the 111 number. The other Silverado uses a different lightbar Its pretty rare, but I wanted to do something to break the chain of endless Ford F350's and Dodge Rams. Yes, I know the mirrors are wrong, but I feel quite proud of having made them so I decided to keep them. Yes I also know that I've depicted the wrong kind of Silverado. I am using a newer 2500HD compared to this one which appears to be the older design with a different front end. I just wanted something that would look right and give me a chance to use a model that I spent a lot of time making. Plz dont sue me plz.

Youre welcome. Just being as useless of a member as I can be. For anyone concerned, not much has been done to Montana since earlier this year. Me and bama are just too busy with our respective projects and life. That's all really.

Shame that the NFS mod died. Note that there is an existing mod over at EM-Europe that has pretty much the same units as you do. emergency-planet.com/thread/6/palm-beach-gardens-modification Nypdofficerxx is still online here, maybe you and him could join forces, because I don't see in any practical way how it would be useful for you to make so much stuff if another modder has similar content. Though if he wishes not to team up with you, you're gonna have to work on it anyway. Just be prepared. Though I'm suspicious with some of the models used on that mod. Seem too detailed for Em4, possibly taken from GTAIV. I won't say anything further but its the only thing that did catch my attention.

The current release aint so stable, thus the change in title. Its basically a forewarning. If the mod crashes, we told you so.

About a year ago, some concerns came up that my vehicles lack the contours and shading that other models (such as MikeyPI's) have. Personally, I am too fixed on my current methods to bother changing em out.

Unfortunately, I only want to do the Utility and Engine. Having a Crew Carrier would be redundant in the mod due to there being enough off map backup units from LA County. More importantly, USFS won't be a frontline agency, but rather an off map support that player can utilize if he manages to burn half the map down.

I agree to this. It seems plenty of people keep messing it up and posting in Em5 for their Em4 concerns. This is a simple solution to a problem that we face. Thank you for fixing it.

Moar pitches to verify that this aint vaporware

Stuff like that is just way too complex for the fire system that Em4 was given back in 06. Try other games if you want more complex firefighting. Someone has attempted a backdraft in a certain German mod, but it usually came at the cost of the mod itself being very very prone to crashing and being qutie unstable.

Ooopsie. Could hardly tell the difference between the Legacy and the Justice. Both appear similar due to their thinned out appearance. And you're right that the rear bar is an Inner Edge. I make use of one for some of my things. Leftmost Charger.

MUCH better. This is what I was trying to say.

The far north part of our planned freeplay map would be considered "out in the sticks" so LACOFD have some stuff that can be used there, or at least thats what my plan is. USFS Silverado Utility final skin by EmergencyFan6299

I got something special planned....

One tanker for LAFD, another one for County Fire. This is the one currently underway This will be done much later, when I have all on map units completed.

My content is exclusive to EmP. Permission is required and each author needs to ask me personally exactly what will be used for members here. I will no longer be reuploading my files on advice of moderators and by my own voiltion.

I understand. Just saying that I'd do what I can to maintain a good quality standard with my models.

You're welcome. Despite their inherent fakeness, they seem quite popular on your site, and also here. Maybe I should ask around if people want my formula to change.
