Ive been given permission to post announcements while Bama is away. He should be able to give his take on it soon. This is whats going on with the Montana mod as of now: A new version is being worked on. This post is intended to give more detail to what bama said on page 1 of this thread. It will be slow and take time, but it will be done eventually. There will be no announced release date. The existing agencies in the mod will be dumped in favor of their real life counterparts. The last month on my part has been spent finding out what the vehicles in each agency are, understanding how each agency functions. The above posts regarding that truck are just one of dozens of pieces of information I've had to sift through. Mod wise, I have been setting up the foundation of the mod by creating all the needed folders, prototypes and units files before the assets are even created. This is being done so that the mod can be tested immediately as I am able to knock out each vehicle. The biggest change to the upcoming version of the mod will be the inclusion of these real-world accurate vehicles, along with proper implementation of the dispatcher and battalion chief scripts that were incorrectly set up 2 years ago. We are also floating ideas of having the river on the map being used as a water source, and portable pond functionality for the tankers, that way the player does not need 10 tankers to fight a forest fire. It also potentially means that we do not need to make 10 unique tanker models just so that fires can be fought. Bugfixes have been done to the mod such as functionalities that would 'bleed' into each other like the ability to get a taser and traffic cone at the same time, causing the police officer to bug out. The performance issues have been sorted out for the most part, but we found out that the original playable units were causing a noticeable drag on performance which is why the decision was made to scrap them entirely. Ill make another post at a later time to explain what was done to optimize the mod's assets. Another change is the setup of the on map VFD station. Gone is the 2nd engine which will be replaced by a tanker. We found that having the tanker made the first engine much more usable and flexible in what it could do. We have no intention on adding anything to the on map VFD. In fact, it was actually suggested that the VFD station be removed in order to simulate the real Monida area, but some of these fictional elements will still remain in the mod. No changes will be done to the FP map apart from adding in the default Em4 events that were missing such as defective traffic lights & rail crossings along with the rabid dog callout.

The United States Army Modification for Emergency 4 1. CONCEPT The United States Army Mod is a modification for Emergency 4 and based on the presence of the US military in a Middle-Eastern region. It's a freeplay focused mod and your task is to carry out events from your base with small taskforces. 2. MAP The map is fictional, but based on a rural, Middle-Eastern region. It features a functional army base from where you will have to start each event. The map features a town as well as a bigger rural area, including a refugee camp, a ravine and smaller populated areas. 3. EVENTS The US Army mod features freeplay style gameplay in a neverending gamemode. The mod contains new, unique and challanging events and only one event will spawn at a time. The events range from finding and deactivating IED's to providing humantarian aid and most events contain random elements to create unpredictability and enhance replayability. By completing events you will earn points which can be spent om development, and money what can be spend on new units. 4. POINTS The most unique feature of this modification is the development tree. The development tree contains 10 different items which will add small advantages to the game. Choose your development carefully, as it takes time to complete development and gaining points can be difficult, especially if you start losing units. 5. UNITS The mod contains several playable military vehicles and persons. Each unit has at least one unique feature, which will make them important and valuable. You can buy recruits ingame and train them as a soldier, medic, engineer, sniper, fire fighter or spec ops. You will start the game with an Army Commander, who is able to call in assistance from local emergency services, such as local police, ems and fire department by using his radio. There will be only one available commander per game, so make sure to protect him well! 6. INTERFACE Because the mod only features a handful of units, some interface elements have been redesigned. The window where the buttons to the vehicle browsers used to be, has been replaced. This window contains buttons to purchase vehicles or recruits, a button to open the development tree, a button to open gameplay options. The window also shows information about the current active event and the points you currently own. 7. DOWNLOAD AND INSTALLATION The most recent version of the mod is 0.6 and can be downloaded here: Download US Army Modification Size: 70.8 MB Release date: October 16, 2013, 8:06 PM Installations instructions: 1. Remove any older US Army Mod installations (such as versions 0.4b and 0.5) 2. Download and extract the .zip package 3. Install the .e4mod file 4. Launch the game and load the US Army mod 5. Use the mission-menu and select 'Play United States Army Mod' to launch a new game 8. NOTES Post feedback and new ideas here: USAM, Feedback and Ideas Report bugs and issues here: USAM, General bugs / issues and FAQ topic - The US Army mod is NOT multiplayer nor freeplay compatible. The only way to play the mod is through the missions-menu. - Using the save/load functions may result in unstable gameplay or even crashes. IF you would like to save, make sure no event is running nor items are currently in development. 9. COPYRIGHT, SUBMODS AND PERSONAL CHANGES Like any other modification you're free to make personel changes to this modification. Making personal changes is always at your own risk and may result in unstable gameplay or crashes, for which I can not be held responsible. At this moment, public submods are NOT allowed. Due to the complexity of the mod, please keep in mind that adding new units requires extensive script- and interface dialog alterations. Hoppah

Hello all, I was wondering if anyone would be interested in the creation of "Supervisor" that utilizes the medical priority dispatching system? I would like to create the system for my personal use, but if enough interest arrises I would be happy to release it. Essentially it will only replace the dispatcher that appears in the lower righthand corner when a callout happens. MPDS is a form of coding that is used to prioritize calls. Read more on that here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medical_Priority_Dispatch_System The way it'll be set up will include unique tones for fire calls, ems calls and police calls followed by the coding of the call and the resources required. It's not much, but perhaps a tad of new realism to add to your gameplay experience. Thank you, Olympus1492
