Hi guys i have been having issues with the fire valve i dont know if thats the name, i mean the one that can be placed by a firefighter with a hose and can have to hose lines from it and when i put it down in the game i cant pick it up after i put out the fire, does anyone else face that issue too? (sorry if u guys dont understand my problem if needed i will expain again).

I think it's called the gated wye, and yes, I've had issues with it too. I also think it's been mentioned before, but honestly, I can't remember that far back haha

EDIT: ThatOneIown covered it with that link to the topic.

Not fully, that video would probably explain it the best - I was just mentioning that sometimes editing files directly out of the Program Files folder can be tricky and useless at best. Good addition Bill lol, I didn't think about the actual unpacking method, just if the OP had difficulties.

Yeah, just the police skins. Which, might I say, have taken *way* more time than I was planning on. Hahaha

Denver Police Department Airport Unit backs up a District 2 officer on a traffic stop. (obviously some work to be done on the skins but it's just a teaser)

Yup! I skin GTA SA primarily and it's the same process - as far as the actual skinning. Getting the texture file and installing it is different, though. This post helped me out a lot, and if you have any issues with dds conversion, try doing conversion/renaming files *outside* of the \Program Files\...\Emergency 4 directory. 

Okay before I go on I'll admit to not reading all of this... I did a ride along program with my local department a while ago and can tell you how my county works:

As for my county, it's a rural county - we have 4 city (well, town) police departments. The City of Boone usually has 4 on duty officers, the City of Ogden has one officer on duty from 8:00a-midnight and from midnight to 8am, one officer is on call. Madrid has one police officer on duty, but I can't remember whether they ever go to just 'on call'. 

That being said, all officers in the State of Iowa who are on duty can operate anywhere in the state - a city officer can stop another car in a completely different county for a serious traffic violation if they are on duty (usually when leaving a conference). I'm not sure of their off duty powers. 

It also varies on policy - Ogden PD typically helps out the SO when there's nothing going on but SO is on a call about 5 miles or so out of town, and both the officer and the deputy have the same powers as arresting, citations, searches, reports go. Boone PD *rarely* ever leaves the city limits. There'd have to be a serious call before they would leave the city limits. Bar fight in Ogden? It's just the Ogden officer and the two deputies on duty (yes, typically there are only two deputies on unless overlap gives them three). Good luck! Madrid PD usually just sits at the PD until there's a call and are more reactive than proactive. 

State Patrol works pretty much the same here as any other state, however, I rarely ever see them - they typically stay in more populated areas as traffic violations happen little here. 

Feel free to PM me/email me if you have any questions pertaining to my county!

UPDATE!

 

I will be working on the Fire Department first! 

No pics before the 15th!

If there is anyone that want's to help out skinning the POLICE then just write a QUOTE to this comment!

 

You need to know how gimp works!

Could you email me at email removed regarding the police skins? I can do them for you if you'd like, I'll just need real life pics and templates for the cars. I use Photoshop CS5. If you're wanting to see my work: http://1nickbrick.imgur.com/. I usually do GTA: San Andreas but skinning EM4 works similarly.

EDIT: I've done a skin for GTA to show you what I came up with in regards to Denver PD cars. Tell me what you think.

Not really a good idea to post your email. It's generally better to share it via PM.

Wow, okay the discussion on timezones here is priceless and a little concerning. lmao!!

Time zones are amazing. UTC +14:00 is an actual thing, so, there's more than the 24 time zones that your 6th grade social studies teacher told you.

Hopping back on topic, I've been following the progress of this closely and I can't wait to play it! I'm glad someone has skill to do something like this, because I surely don't. I focus more on GTA: SA mods rather than anything else but love EM4 just as much. 

Hopefully this will clear up some of the confusion regarding US time zones.

Central Time is what the release time is based off, 10PM. That would include Iowa, Illinois, Minnesota, Missouri, parts of Nebraska, most of Texas and Kansas, etc.

'Mountain Time' would be the 9PM release time. That would be Montana, Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, New Mexico, etc.

Arizona does their own thing with time zones where they don't follow Daylight Savings time.

Awesome job Bill, I love it

Thanks Bill!

I'd love the Impala and Taurus templates if anyone can find them

Hello, I'm new here so if this is the wrong forum sorry

But I'm looking to see if anyone has the templates for the Montana Mod's Impala, Ford Explorer, Ford Taurus Interceptor and Ford Excursion and the Ford E series van.

I've been skinning the cars to fit my local units and was hoping someone had actual templates to them.

This is what I have so far, in case anyone's curious
