One of the three persons in the car is a rescue swimmer. He can enter the water ;-) I updated the first post with some tips and tricks: General tips and tricks: Vehicles can be towed by the police. Just select a police officer and click on the vehicle. You can dispatch units either with the button or by clicking on a free area anywhere on the map with the left mouse button. The "shift" key changes the priority of some commands. For example it helps you picking up the valve and entering the DLK. You can also transport uninjured people in the RTW. If you don`t manage it to finish an event look for objects or persons on the map that have to be transported. Rediricting the traffic works best on streets with multiple lanes in each direction. The end of the redirection should be near the orignal path of the cars redirected. Othewise they will delete themselves. The stations Tiergarten and Mitte (BF, FF) arrive at first on the scene in most areas of the map. In ERS Berlin you have only a limited amount of water and air. Keep that in mind! When a homicide occurs it is really important to secure evidence. Especially weapons! When confronted with a hazmat situation try first to find the source of contamination and seal it. The doctors car automatically escorts the ambulance to the nearest hospital. Just enter the RTW with the doctor and then send both units home with the "Back to Base" button. Animals can be transported in the KLEF. Firemen can pick up dead animals. In the mod directory XML/bfreeplay.xml you can find a file where you can change the frequency of events, the ingame time and the weather.

Did you start the updater with administrator rights?

Mine looks the same =). That IS the ERS Main menu. Just click on ERS Berlin and start the first or second mission.

For all the guys who have the ERS main menu in normal mode DO NOT LAUNCH YOUR EMERGENCY LIKE YOU DID BEFORE. START EM VIA THE ERS LAUNCHER WHETHER YOU WANT TO PLAY ERS OR NOT. Choose between ERS Berlin and Emergency 4 standard version there!!

It should work with all versions of Emergency including 911FR

Have fun guys ;-)

The problem seems to be that EM4 can only handle a limited amount of prototypes loaded at the same time. In ERS we pushed it to the limit - so sometimes when you play long enough and call too many units the game crashes :-(. No. Not every vehicle will be added to the game. We already have too many prototypes in game. Some vehicles are planned only for missions (there will be no missions in 1.0 )

Our update system [german version] Regards Woltep

You can see some of them on our homepage.

Probably yes.

Good news: ERS Berlin will be released in the first quarter of 2011.

Right now we have enough beta testers.

Yeah..the freeplay mode is completely new and based on a MissionScript like in RTS.

I honestly don`t know Beta

Yes, for a large group of people. Basically everyone who wants to and has the technical understanding to work with our beta tools. Everyone who wants to be a beta tester has to apply and then gets access to an internal forum with further information and downloads.

Wikipedia.org : "Open and closed beta Developers release either a closed beta or an open beta; closed beta versions are released to a select group of individuals for a user test, while open betas are to a larger community group, usually the general public. The testers report any bugs that they found and sometimes minor features they would like to see in the final version"

Have you checked the unit.xml file for the boat? The line "missions value" should contain any mission in which you want to use the boat. Regards Woltep

No. SW stands for the german word "Sonderwagen", which means special vehicle and is a type of armored personnal carrier from the german police forces. Nice submod btw. Regards Woltep

How about changing the actual red ambulance to this one? Only some little model and skin changes would be needed.

I think the mod uses this script: http://www.emergency-forum.de/thread.php?threadid=10823 But it has some bugs. Civil cars near an emergency vehicle try to drive to a position on the right in front of the car (vector). If this position is on the sidewalk everything looks good and works well. But for example if this position is behind a crash barrier the civil car will search a position, where it can get behind the crash barrier and drive that way. It looks unrealistic. Also some civil cars get stuck in objects on the sidewalk and can´t keep on driving. But try it yourself Regards, Woltep
