Very nice work on the ambulance

But you must realise that you cannot release any of this without Hoppah's permission.

There's nothing wrong with reskinning. Unfortunately, tho, you can't pawn it off as a submod. I see both sides. Hoppah's worked VERY hard for the past how many years to get his mod to the amazing shape it's in now, and wants the credit he rightfully deserves. Plus, by allowing reskins if new models are included, he's encouraging a fine art. On the other hand, many people don't have the talent to re-skin vehicles, and can get tired of playing with L.A. units. I'm from Canada, near Buffalo, NY, and I've never been to LA. I want to, but I'd personally like to see a more Northern or East coast mod. Nothing against LA or anything. But you're doing a GREAT job so far. Keep it up.

Edit: By the way, and congratulations on being promoted to Lieutenant

That's what my NYC sub-modification is for. TYou should check it out sometime

I still do not have permission to release it yet but I am hoping to get it someday.

Oh, believe me, I've checked it out sooo many times I keep looking for updates as to when, if it'll be released, and the new models you're puttin out. You're doin some GREAT work

As above, and posted in the PI mod thread.. I really don't see the point of all of this. I understand that you want to see your hometown trucks in game, and simulate your area on your PC. But just reskinning doesn't do anything.. Now you just have YOUR trucks in LA. lol

That's why I love the idea of Bama's NYC mod. It's a popular area, and everything is different.. The building and city types, the population, the way emergency services in general are done. To do a NYC mod isn't just some reskins.. It needs some new models, and a new map, and probably lots of complicated script changes.

Sure, I have a ton of ideas for my Buffalo NY mod, but it's not just reskins. Whether or not I use Hoppah's models, I still require a completely different map, with completely different scripts that I'll have to wrrite, in order for things to happen like they do in Buffalo.

It's not that I'm running any of you down. Some of these reskins are AWESOME. And like I said, I understand you wanting your own trucks in the mod.. I want that too. =) But it's getting to where multiple people are just skinning.. and that's not a submod, that's a cosmetic change. W00d's map took him HOURS upon HOURS I'm sure.. Building, testing, rebuilding, retesting, swearing a lot, then modifying and testing again... That's a submod. lol

To make it more clear for users, I've changed the topic's title to 'private mod'.

A submod is an additition to the official LA mod. This one is private and not to be released.

Check out the Copyright topic and Approved submods topic for more information.

First of all, use Fraps. Please.

http://www.fraps.com/download.php

It is much more clear pictures.

Second,

There is a file called "water_tender_2.dds". This contains the front and back textures of the truck.

umm i found the file but it wont let me open it do you know why???

You must unlock it first. Do the same thing you did for the other files.

in the editor i cant find watertender 2 i only see it in my .dds converter all that iis in the editor is water tender1 and watertender door and watertender wheel

[bama1234]

in the editor i cant find watertender 2 i only see it in my .dds converter all that iis in the editor is water tender1 and watertender door and watertender wheel

1. RENAME [do this in the directory without the editor] "water_tender_2.dds" to "water_tender_2.v3o".

2. Go into the editor, and "unpack" the file you just renamed to [v3o].

3. Exit the editor, go to the directory and name the file back to "water_tender_2.dds".

4. Convert to JPEG using DDS Converter 2 or whatever.

5. EDIT.

6. When done editing, convert back to [dds] format.

7. Copy/move and replace the old file with the new.

I have to explain this alot, just please do some research on the site before asking all these questions. I dont know how many times I have posted this SAME "tutorial".

Follow bamas instructions. You wont find any thing about the dds file in the editor because all the info to combine the 2 dds is tucked inside the v3o files.

i know your getting frustrated with this but i have one more question for you about this i promise

how do i get to the directory???

sry for bothering you

[Xplorer4x4]

If you have already got reskins done you should know where files are by now

BTW, are you taking pics of your screen with a camera or something? Use fraps as bama said, or take screen shots.

[bsbllthirteen]

ther is a close up of the heavy rescue and everything else.

i still cant figure out the problem with the water tender

[Xplorer4x4]

^What do you mean exactly? Theres 2 dds files for the water tender: water_tender.dds and water_tender2.dds both of these are for the same truck, so you have to edit both to fully repaint the engine.

[danny96]

you don't can do own models? furfural your reskins with to those you can go somewhere!
