I think it's an editor thing; I fixed it by resetting the time from day to night. Sometimes it can be fixed by cycling through the light modes (game, off, on).

The cause is having 0 flash intensity on some halogen lights. Not a big deal, happens all the time with CA steady red lights.

Not sure if you are taking suggestions but I think a 89 Nissan 240sx would be a cool addition. 

You're in luck; I have one of those planned.

I grew up playing NFS and that car always came up (along with the Eclipse, Integra and RX7). I absolutely can't wait to get to making some 80s-90s tuner cars.

For full transparency, I am about 8 out of 34 cars into the civilian replacement phase of this submod. That might seem small, but 8 scratch made models in about 3 months is pretty fast, I'd say.

Another one made, along with the Cadillac I shared previously.

Is this still under development? or it is abandoned?

I'd like to ask that you dont bump posts asking if they're dead or in development. 

If a mod is dead, leave it. If it is alive, then they will update eventually.

Another one completed, will be adding little addons to it later.

I have another one being worked on concurrently.

Updates on previously shared assets:

Another one out the door, kinda. Needs a skin but I'd like to keep moving while I have momentum.

Another one out. Base texture by Ibarra, model by me.

It's been about a week; I don't really have anything new to share except another vehicle has been made.

I'm looking for some help on how to change the helmet style on my firefighters. Currently my firefighters have traditional style helmets but I would like my guys to wear the salad bowl style lids. 

You need to edit the person models using Zmodeler 3 (which is unfortunately 4 bucks a month). I believe there are a few firefighter helmet models available for you to swap, but I don't know exactly what you want.

This next one is a finisher car; a transporter of gods, the golden god.

Also, hqueen has provided me with the lights for a few vehicles. The submod is one step closed to it's next update.

I cant guarantee any suggestion will make it in, but I have begun starting work on a few of the vehicles posted.

This is what I have so far, besides the van I posted.

I don't think I've ever completed the 'Hijack!' mission where we have to select units and personnel before the mission starts. It's a passenger airplane being hijacked where we have to stop the plane from being fueled and deal with the hijackers, of which there's several of them. I believe it's an event that happens during the game because it doesn't crash all of the time, every time, sometimes the reason I don't get to complete it is because I fail at it for some reason or another - usually too many victims which must be passengers on the plane I haven't figured out how to rescue. Also during a lot of attempts at this mission if I don't have someone at the stairs next to the person negotiating to pick them up right away when the hijacker shoots a hostage and throws them down the stairs the victim disappears pretty quick, I assume they glitch under the stairs because I can see a puddle of blood but can't get to them to either heal or pick them up when that happens. 

This is one of the most unusual bug reports I've ever taken.

Anyway the hijacking mission is a tricky one. Usually the bomb explodes and the game assumes an automatic fail condition. I don't have any explanation for the game CTD. When does it happen specifically?

The person warping underground is also an unusual bug.

Turn on "tooltips" in the options. Try to see if that fixes anything.

They bought Furys during that time

Thank you for all the information.

If anybody has 80s/90s civilian car suggestions, feel free to post them.

I know at least that they used the Plymouth Satellite and AMC Matador in 1973 because they had both models in Gone in 60 Seconds which was from 1974. Since the Matador and Satellite both had '74 production models and the Matador ran until 1978 it's reasonable to infer they used those two cars during these years.

Thanks for this. I'll do some asking around outside of EmP to confirm.

This one's a bit random, but I've got another civilian vehicle on the way.

I was also in the process of doing helicopters but due to some technical issues, those will be delayed for quite a bit.

I'm not sure if you were aware of it already but here is a site with excelent retro LASD pictures, mostly 60s-80s stuff with some 90s sprinkled in but maybe it could help.
https://lasdretired.org/photo-album/stations-historical-photos/
https://lasdretired.org/photo-album/172201/

some examples below, note the Gran Fury with unusual lightbar and door mounted speed radar:

Thank you for these photos, they're very helpful.

By any chance do you know what LASD ran between 1974-1978? Specifically what they had before the Novas? Seems that nobody has found info on that yet.

Not sure if these are are of any use, but I found these old LA Park Police (Pre-LA County Police) cruisers that I had downloaded onto an old computer from a defunct website and figured I'd share

These are nice. Keep sharing what you can.

Sadly I probably wont make any of the "secondary" agencies like housing PD, MTA police or county police because they'd serve no purpose to the game.

Hopefully somebody else can make those skins as an addon pack. I'd be okay with people making addon packs for the submod as long as they send it to me first to assure quality before we include it.

Here's something big coming to the mod. I got this working just now and it's still a bit rough, but it is coming along nicely. 

For a long time, I said I would not do the out of spec sheriff units that had unusual lightbars or other ELS. My reason given was the lack of information about them.

Today, somebody has provided me with the reference photos that enabled me to create these units. I couldn't let those pictures go to waste.
Lightbars by rihis and EmC-Unit.

2 new additions to the family.
LAPD SWAT van, and another coroner's van variation. All work on these two are by me.

I also got another those other Dodge Vans made. They will be appearing in civilian form.

Hi Guys, 

I know this has been asked alot before! I have been playing the game for years and never had any issues but today I have tried to go onto the game and the black screen of death has happened, it loads the editor but then will not run the game, I have a digital copy through steam and have un-installed the game and also un-installed steam then re-installed but still the same problem.  

I have tried the usual changing the em4.cfg file but that has not worked either, also updated the Nvidea graphics drivers and still the same problem. 

 

Please can someone give me a hand as I love playing the game and have like 800hrs on it. 

 

Thanks 

Ant

The fact that it loads the editor but not the game is a very big hint. It tells us that it must be the intro movies or something game related that's broken. Most likely, a codec or video format pack was installed to your PC without you knowing, and it broke the game.

Don't be afraid to try other solutions though.

I will ask other people from now on: does the game crash but the editor work?

Another addition to the fleet. This time, it's an older Dodge Van.

Reset the screen to the previous value.

If this resolution doesnt work, try another, lower resolution. Not all high res or widescreen resolutions work in Em4 unfortunately.

Hey folks,

I thought I would post this to see if there  is anyone who may of potentially already made this.

Has anyone or does anyone know of a KME Severe vehicle model for the game?

Here you go. I also have a Seagrave in here.

If you're doing this for FDNY, I hope it helps you out.

In the future, maybe later this year or well into next year, I will be uploading more KME and Seagrave models to this set.
