New York Modification V.1.01

[Hoppah]

May not be the last version,

Although there are no updates?

Unfortunately not, MikeyPI's computer broke down, so he's not able to work on the mod at the moment. Therefore, I do not really work on the mod either. I've only made new trafficlights and streetligths so far. Newfoundking added those to the a new map. As soon MikeyPI has a new computer we hope to pick up the pace again.

Hey guys, the mod is great! I was wondering if you ever thought about adding a couple NYC Sherriff's Office units? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_City_Sheriff

Even thought it will be nice to see them, It will be a bit useless as they really do not do much but just drive around towing cars that owed tickets to the state and or to do evictions . They do not take 911 calls nor report to any emergency unless they see a crime being commited on their watch ..

I can see a Sheriff's traffic tow truck in my mind... Ah well. Too bad, eh? kinda wanted a freeplay event where a guy goes loco on the Sheriffs after they tow his pickup

Is this New York mod which was under development 3 years? Where can I download it?

I really like this mod, not to big but everything is there what's needed.

But can you tell me you are aware of some issues.

I mostly play MP, i wanted to let the Patrol car, patrol the city and the mod crashed. Also i had some errors during gampeplay in MP.

Hi

There's an easy fix for this as on the NYC map there are no patrol paths.

If you have the LA mod, (if not download it from the downloads section above), and got to the maps folder in there.

Copy and paste 'multiplayer.e4m' to the NYC mods maps folder and then patrol should work.

Back to station etc however will not.

[Newfoundking]

This is not a multiplayer tested, nor enabled mod. We didn't plan it to be multiplayer, so it isn't guaranteed, or even expected to work

Help! So after way to long I fixed my mod installer to work. Now when I try and install the this mod it comes back with corrupt I have re downloaded, extracted, restarted, etc a dozen times. No luck. Please help!!! Every time I try it installs the Folder for the mod but nothing else and says corrupt.

Can anyone help? Yes it is a legal copy bought it from Atari. Please help I really want to try this mod!

[Newfoundking]

What your problem appears to be is that you have a corrupt mod file. The fix is almost as simple as the cause. Erase your cache. Redownloading from this site a million times is useless if the first one was crap. If you erase the cache, it'll download a clean copy, and this one should not be corrupt

[bjfgoose]

So I did as you said. Still when I open it with the installer it says corrupt. It makes the game folder then says its corrupt I am so frustrated right now!

[bjfgoose]

anyway I can get a copy of the mod that isn't packed... So I can just copy the folder and all the files into my mod folder?

[Mrtucker555]

actually is there any way i can get that also because for some reason i am having the same problem with mine

[squamishfire]

No. The creators stated a long time ago that it isn't in any other file format. You guys are doing something that is wrong. I suggest you start over from scratch and do what Newfoundking has done.

[bjfgoose]

Yeah... thanks for the tip but I did exactly what he said to do and it didn't work. thanks.

If you can't get it installed, there are one of three problems:

1. You have a pirated copy of the game, or otherwise illegal copy. These aren't supported and you're on your own.

2. You have to reinstall it, due to a corrupt install, or you need to redownload the mod, as it's corrupted. The same thing can happen with EXEs. Note, apparently atari downloads suck and create problems. You're on your own there, we can't do anything with that.

3. You've been doing something wrong. If you legally obtained this, there should be instructions on how to install mods. Follow that step for step. If it's a modfile problem, you've gotta redownload it. If it's a game problem, it's gotta be reinstalled.

If you did EXACTLY as you were instructed, and it's still not working, you didn't do EXACTLY what you were instructed.

Uninstall the game. Full uninstall. When it's finished, if there is anything in the folder, select it, hit shift+delete. When you have that done, hit enter

Restart your computer.

Reinstall the game

Clear the browser cache. If possible, download from a different browser.

Using the modinstaller.exe, install the mod.

There won't be any problems.

If there are, and you come back saying it's not working, I'll simply delete your post. It'll have the same effect as if I left it there. If there are ANY problems, post EXACTLY what you did, step by step, and post a screen shot of the error, or at the very least, verbatim of what the error is.

It is a 100% legal copy of the game. I originally bought it from Direct2Drive.com which was bought by Gamefly.com which currently sucks but that is a different story. Just as bad as the Atari download.

Oh and I have downloaded the Mod using Google chrome, Firefox and even internet explorer. Each one when trying to install it into the mod installer came back with corrupt.

I have not tried to uninstall everything including the game, which I will do tonight. I hope that will work. The reason I haven't posted the exact verbatim error information on what the error is, was because it has already been told many time on this site and in fact a few pages back on this thread But every solution that I have seen has either worked for only a few people(not me) or have just been ignored. I figured since it has been brought up before I would have been wasting my time readdressing it word for word again.

However, I will give it by best shot and uninstall and re-install the entire thing tonight, and if it doesn't work I will then give you a very detailed version of the problem. Thanks for your help, I will let you know how it goes. I might just say screw it and but a hard copy from amazon.

[bjfgoose]

Update for people who want to download the game from a legal website... DO NOT USE Gamefly.com The version they sell has no Mod installer at all.

Good thing I apparently knew this back when i first download the game, because I apparently also bought the game on amazon.com. Downloading that one now! Lets see if it works.

[Newfoundking]

Maybe I should've asked this first, but I didn't because it's the "plugged in" of this game. Is it updated to version 1.3?

Alright I am at the frustrated beyond belief state.

When I Launch the game in the lower left corner is says v1.3f - fr So I think that would be a yes.

I did exactly what you said in the above post.

Delete the mods, the game, the install file, restarted the computer.

Next I re-downloaded the game. Installed it in C:\Program Files (x86)\WizardWorks

Install worked and then I started the game confirmed that that works. It did.

Next I sent and edited the regedit file on my computer since the Mod install said game not installed correctly (same problem others have said on this site) Did the fix that was described on another thread. This: http://forum.emergen...rs-from-amazon/

Once i did that it worked so I can use the Mod installer.

Then I download the NY Mod to my desktop and then tried to install it using the Mod installer. As soon as I double click on the file it pops up a window that says "Mod package is corrupt"

Once I click on ok since that is my only option it closes.

I go into the Mod folder and the NY mod Folder has been created but it has nothing in it.

That is what it has done every time. Any ideas would be great.

After one last try i fixed. it I will explain the correct way tomorrow please make sure to tag or post or something to this because it will contain a combination of issues that make this actually work.

Alright... So here is the solution. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this mod. The problem is with the game.

So if you can not get the NY mod to install or any other mod for that matter you need to do the following.

1. Uninstall all MODS, Saved games, anything from 911 First responders - Start from scratch

2. Re download the game from Amazon. _ Do not use gamelfy, Atari.com or any other website - These might work, but this is how it worked for me.

3. Once the game has downloaded to your computer start the install

4. It will ask you where you want to install the game. DO NOT install the game in the default wizardworks folder. DO NOT DO IT!

5. Change the directory path to: "C:\Program Files (x86)\sixteen tons entertainment\Emergency 4\

6. Install the game in that directory and continue.

7. Once installed - Your Mod installer & editor will not work. You still have more to work on.

8. In the start menu under the search tab type: regedit

9. Your computers regiter editor will open. Be very careful because if you edit the wrong things... you can screw up your computer.

10. Click on HKEY_CURRENT_USER > SOFTWARE > sixteen tons entertainment > Emergency 4

11. If the last part "sixteen tons software isn't already there create it. I should be there.

12. In that folder that might or might not be a file call InstallDir. If it is already there open it.

13. Change the path to: C:\Program Files (x86)\sixteen tons entertainment\Emergency 4

14. In my case it had the path at C:\Program Files\sixteen tons entertainment\Emergency 4 _ THIS IS WRONG!

15. Once that is changed exit the Reg Editor.

16. Mod installer should now work when you click on it. Download whatever mod you want and use the Mod installer to install it.

17. That fixed the problem. NY mod works for me now.

The most important part is the game MUST be installed in: C:\Program Files (x86)\sixteen tons entertainment\Emergency 4\

I hope this helps everyone. I figured this out between reading a bunch of different threads on this site. There wasn't one that had the whole process.

To fix the "missing editor"

1. Make a shortcut to the EM4.exe file on your desktop

2. Right click and open up the properties

3. in the line that sais TARGET change it to: "C:\Program Files (x86)\sixteen tons entertainment\Emergency 4\Em4.exe" -editor4.

4. Rename the short cut to EM4 Editor so you don't get confused.

5. Use the short cut and your in the editor.

It's not "too easy" it's realistic. Units need to be able to call for backup. The officers should be able to use persuit and there should be ambulances in the firehouses. Not to sound mean but I think the LA mod has the NY mod beat. I think we need to up damage taken and someone said that we needed to make the riots more realistic
