hi i have been making some models and have followed the uv tutorial, and have now managed to learn to uv too. thanks hoopah. was a little hard but managed it in the end.

here is the 2 models i have made, the 1st one is a rescue tender (RW) used at road traffic collisions, and the 2nd is a command support unit (control unit) used at major incidents.

any comments would be useful.

***eyespy900***

here is the completed models with thier skins added

It's to do with the pivot point, in Zmodeler, select the model; Select/All then right click. Next go to the modify drop down, and look next to the word Move, there is a small grey box, click it, and select the Move Pivot Only box. If you look below your model, you will see some colored lines with arrow heads, one gree one blue, joined by a purple colored box, move the purple box up to just below your model, export and load EM3/4 editor. Select your model in the editor, and click the edit box, in the edit window there are option on the top left which are under Placement; they are, None, Axis Aligned etc, select the last one, Custom, and all should be well. I hope I explained this in some form of helpful fashion!!!!

hi mate, most helpful, many thanks, problem is now solved.

I got my Computer on December 21, 2007, this past December it's quite new! and I updated it many times, it's operates on Windows Vista and

it's an HP Pavilion! hope you could help? thanks

I'm running 911 FR

-- Dr.MoeyX --

the only thing i can suggest is reset the pc to factory settings with ur restore disc / program and try again, sorry i cannot be of any further help, maybe someone else might be able to suggest something else.

***eyespy900***

hello, and thank you for your help again,

What Operating System are your running the game on? and yes I have done a few updates from HP and Microsoft. The computer automatically checks for updates

and then installs them, computer has to be restarted .... but i don't think that's the problem. My Nvidia Graphic Drivers and all other Drivers are updated to the latest version!

-- Dr. MoeyX --

i am running 911 FR on a laptop with windows xp, how old is ur computer?

***eyespy900***

ok, so re installing it didn't help, so erm. have u done a recent upgrade on the computer? have you got the latest graphic card drivers. this is impartant, as it happened to me, and the game kept crashing.

***eyespy900***

Sorry I put it in a modding question by accident! but it's probably a problem from the mods .... and no i didn't touch the data files. but Atari (online store) allowed me to re-install it!

hi,

i would certainly uninstall the game and mods, and then re install them to see if this helps.

***eyespy900***

My 911: First Responders game was working fine for the 2 months I have been played, but then now it keeps crashing. Someone please help me!

have u tried re installing it? or u could try updating ur graphics card drivers, this might work

***eyespy900***

Where are the values to change for the Camera hack. I looked for a config file like in EM3 but couldn't find one. where do I change the values.

the cfg wile is in the main em4 / 911 directory, it aint a hack, it is just simply a tweak

.dds files are neve rlooke duntil it are LA or NL mod .dds files

i am working on the england mod along with bennie900 and bruce. i believe that we might have been given permision to use the

motorcycle from the LA mod. but the problem is how do we reskin it??? the files are locked

***eyespy900***

Hold the shift, control or alt key, I can't remember which one it was. I'm sure, if you used the search function, you would have found it.

G.

it is the ALT key, this make items go up.

Hello!

Im totally new to this modelling,skinning and modding part. And started to look at other mods to see how they have done and started to look at Hoppah's tutorial (that looks really impressive good work hoppah). But I got a problem if I want to change lightbars on a existing model/skin/prototype in a mod how do I do that? Is it in the model? I dont see any skins of the lightbars in the main skin for the v3o model of the car. Can anyone plz explain little quick how it works or if there is an english tutorial of how it works:)

Regards

pudd

hi pudd.

lightbars can be found in the editor, they can be found under children. the main directoy for them is in a directory called squid. as far as i am aware you can put any light bar on any unit. BUT the lightbar that is already on the unit might not be able to be removed, unless it might be able to be removed in zmodeler2. zmodeler2 is a program used to make models (i cant make models). hope this helps

***eyespy900***

I was acctually about to test to change the skin to that ambulance from the nl mod (for personal test and purpose) to look like the swedish one since Im a swede, but I can't read the .dds files in that mod. Maybe you have done some protection or Im just doing wrong. Can see other dds files from other mods but not from that one:) to bad:) Cause it is pretty similar:)

Regards

pudd

the files in the NL mod 0.70B and LA 1.4 mod are protected. stan has quite clearly stated that he will NOT let anyone

use any of his things.

***eyespy900***

thanks fo the reply stan. i have given up on this because i have had no help. i have tried everything to sort this out without success. the wholes are parts that aint been added in yet i assume. so, is it possible to resize 1 part of a model ie, front , but keep the side as it is?

if i send u what i have done so far could you correct what i have done. pls beare in mind that this is the 1st model i have ever made and still dont know how to use zomdeler properly, everthing i have done so far was by chance.

eyespy900

i dont think that can be changed, cos if ur calling for more units so they are either required urgently or required for some reason. as they appear more quickly, then that is good, no??? if u think they appear too quick, then dont order them intil u really do need them urgently

***eyespy900***

hi i am making a scania model and i am new to zmodeler and have a problem. i have done right side and front. as you can see the front is way too big, how can i get the front to match the size of the right side.?
