Sweeeeeeeeeeet!

 

just one thing though, my eyes can't decide wether the front wheels point in or out? same with the back. Apart from that, good job, just digging the 3D lockers, never seen that before. Can't wait to get a sneek peek at your map....

Thanks medic (Just a little tip, could you edit your comment so all my bits aren't there too as it's quite a big post, admins will probably remove it anyway). Yeah now you mention it I can't figure out the wheels, checked the model and they are pointing out

UPDATE

Hi all, just so you know, the mod is not dead and work is still going on with it. There is now a pretty much finished map design (See below) and we are completely redoing all the units (See below) to make them better quality and more realistic.

Map

The map is pretty much designed and some parts are already being modelled, here is what will be included:

• City Centre
• One fire station containing a Scania P270 Pump and a Dennis Sabre appliance. At the back will be a couple of Insignia response cars as well as a van and trailer with an Argocat. Station is based in the high street.
• Residential estate
• Police station which will include a great variety of vehicles and a nice interior.
• Hospital
• Ambulance MRS containing many ambulances, RRV's and HART teams.
• Main fire station (5 Bays) which includes a few Scania pumps, ALP, IRU, vans, response cars and many other bits and pieces including a full interior.

Units

To give the best we can we are completely redoing all of our units, for example we are working on the new Scania appliance with, as promised, 3D lockers - Note: The Skin and model is still a huge WIP, but soon we can finish the skin, add the lights and fill the lockers with equipment! I will edit the post soon to add the credits for the Scania Cab model.

Missions

We are currently unsure whether or not there will be missions but if we are convinced enough...

It is rather annoying yes, but what they were trying for was to make the game as fair and balanced as possible, so as to limit the troll-factor in the MP experience, since A. it takes so long to play a MP game, and B. A troll would be otherwise very effective.  Even still you can do some really mean things in MP and make a mess of it, but it is in fact harder.  The important thing to note is, say that you've gotten all the vehicles out that you require, you can go ahead and press the skip turn button, allowing someone else to immediately get the next "turn" on purchasing units.  But in the end if I recall correctly, it has been quite some time since I've done mp... Your vehicles show blue rings, your team mates show different colors under them, for 2 players the 2nd one gets green I believe.  Not 100% sure on that. 

Thanks, yeah I have been playing the default game MP with a friend. I see the use of the turns and it is easy to get used to. With 2 players my units have blue rings and there was nothing under my friend's

Nice one, thanks Mikey. I'll try the original game and see how it works, bit of an annoying system if you ask me

Me and a friend were on Multiplayer but the first time we tried, only one of us could control units, even if they were our own (The ones with blue circles below them), then we tried again and the other person were the only one that could control units. I don't seem to understand the turn system ether so I'd like that explained if you can, thanks! 

Thanks for keeping us posted, I was wondering if my internet had locked me out of the site until my friend couldn't get on either. 

Thanks guys, turns out I read it wrong, it is £90 for the whole process as it is Win 7 not Vista. Forgot to mention that I have used him a number of times for problems with my PC's so is fairly trusted.

Hi all,

I have had no access to my desktop PC for a few months now (That is why my mod progress is slow if people are wondering, I have no access to emergency 4) and have finally got a guy who will reinstall windows. It will be £50 and he'll upgrade it from a Vista to a Win 7 for free. Is this a good deal/price?

Like measurements for units? If so, It depends on the size of the units in your mod, some mods have larger units. 

 

I only measure the vehicles, not pedestrians. My single roads are 50 pixels to fit a vehicle AND lines, and a full two lane road is a little under 100 pixels. My four lanes are about 200, maybe more to fit road lines. 

 

The picture that says car is 40 Pixels 

 

 

Thanks for that mate, it's perfect

Has anyone got, can direct me to or even make a Map template for me. By map template I mean an image with the sizes of a vehicle and personnel unit as a 1:1 scale next to a full sized map. I can't think of any better way to explain it but feel free to ask any questions (Like what the heck I am on about) 

Thanks

Thats a shame, I have no idea what could be wrong then.

Tried a reinstall? Seems to fix most games these days

I have this every-time I set a new action (Like "Move to") whilst in the middle of removing equipment, only way to fix that is by changing the Firefighter with/out BA. Don't know if this is the reason yours isn't working?

Modlers Models Scripters

We need modlers, models and Scripters to help us out! Do you have any unused models laying about that you think can help? Can you model vehicles yourself? Or maybe even script EM4? You can help us out and make this mod bigger and better then planned, as well as speed up the devlopment!

Whats in it for you?

We will be happy with any help we can get, and anyone that helps can also play on the Alpha and Beta versions of the mod! It can also help you improve your Scripting/modeling skills, or if you are used to modeling european or american units, it will give you a taste of something new.

If you are interested then please send a message to me (Pottyscotty)

if you are planning on having water incidents like jumpers and and stuff like that you could maybe try and put in the RNLI and as a back up a RAF sea king helicopter

True, RNLI (Coastguard) are still an emergency service

Would be nice to see this mod developed, always wondered what Volvo pumps would look like in EM4

I also think it matters on what you need to Mod it, will it still be .V30 files, if so, can you use ZMod 2 or will you have to upgrade to ZMod 3, which will cost you.

I may not "Start" a new mod for EM4, but I will continue and finish my current one, then move onto EM5, as itch said, depending on it's capabilitys.

The volvo looks great, I'd like to see it in game though rather than a render but besides that great work

I would love to share an ingame picture but I currently have no access to the game :/ My PC has completly gone and im left with the laggiest laptop on earth for a couple of monthes. I can still JUST model and texture bits though, so when I can get back to Em4 I will start adding all new vehicles to the game

Assume that is not totally finished yet but needs two aerials one for fm radio and one for airwaves radio

To be honest with you, when I was looking at these renders I was sure I missed something on the roof Now I know what it was

very nice model any chance though that you could answer my question on will this mod be a folder or a rar file

 

maybe put some cones in the boot or a sign saying move to the right or something just so it doesnt look empty

The boot will be full of different ARV equipment later on, this is just a few WIP pictures It will either be a EM4 Mod file or a ZIP file, I haven't decided yet. Reason for the ZIP will be that I can include stuff like a UK dispatcher!

Looks pretty spot on to me! nice job. What programme do you use for the skin? (and the mirrored ground)

I use GIMP for image editing (So all the textures etc) and I use Blender to model and render these images (Credit to my friend who used his beast PC to render them ). 

Kent Police - Volvo V70 ARV - Has a boot, boot lights, opening door, and my first ever attempt at a proper Battenburg skin (Would love feedback on that)

Your wish is my command 

 

Is that only for ZMod 3 though Mr. Genie?

the only way to do it easy is via Zmodeler 3

Otherwise you could follow Hoppah's tutorial (that's a bit harder)

So you can actually edit the animations? I now have a reason to spend money - Can I have a link to that tutorial though please, thanks.
