If it can't open the file it means that it is still locked.Follow every step below,it seems like you're not doing all the required steps below,especially in the editor. go into your model files,lets say you want the chp charger (for example): 1.find dodge_charger_chp.dds change it to dodge_charger_chp1.v3o (watch spelling spaces and all) when it asks you too change file say yes. 2.open editor choose mod and navigate to dodge_charger_chp1.v3o click unpack,then exit editor 3.go back to your main mod folder and re-name dodge_charger_chp1.v3o back to dodge_charger_chp.dds confirm name change. 4.use dds converter to find and convert (dodge_charger_chp.dds) to a PNG 5.open with gimp2 or paint whatever you use. this is as simple as it gets hope it helps you....there's no copyright protection thing on the texture files that prevents you from opening it,it only boils down to human error.

Use the dds converter and change it to a png then open it with gimp,after you first unlock the file in the editor.If you follow the above directions there is no reason that this should not work...it's pretty straight forward. http://forum.emergen...-dds-converter/

Why on earth would you start a mod topic then??Nobody on this site is going to do all the work for you. Scroll up to the top of the page,there's a bar with the word "Tutorials" on it...click on it and at least make an effort to try to learn something.

Good job so far Xandarb,I agree the fake volume does some pretty freaky shit to the lights and is best left off.

great first post...learn some skills and show some work (of your own) ,then people might be more willing to help otherwise it will just be another make a mod for me topic that will die a slow death.

cops may or may not release his Taurus model,it's his call.He was gracious enough to allow us useage with full permission. The 3 modified RCMP versions will be available only in our mod.

The model cops based it on was the 2011,for 2013 the only difference is the direction the light assembly slants at the grill and the tail lights are a little different.

where did you get that model from?I like the lightbar it looks like a lafrance. Good job on the skin so far.

the download link in post 113 is working,it's the last smaller download box above FILE URL in the light blue box.

To add to squamishfire's comment,I think this will be the base light setup for the RCMP Taurus but all detachments across Canada can outfit them with lights that they choose hence the code3,liberty and legend lightbars ect... I have yet to see a umpc Taurus for the RCMP but the Vancouver police umpc Taurus does utilize that side light location for it's light setups,so until we see one we'll just have to give it a rough version.

I guess it looks similar because cops did such a good job on the model,but yes if you had both models in zmod you would see the differences and know that they are not the same model.

The marked Tahoe will be the supervisor unit,the original cvpi's will still be in the game with these new units added and replacing an older cvpi unit. old setup was 3 marked cvpi's and 2 slicktop cvpi's,the 2 new Taurus's will replace 1 from each. that's a lightbar and unit used on the east coast of Canada (New Brunswick I think),our Taurus will come with the legend lightbar which is the correct version for the RCMP here.

here's a peek at the 3 versions of the Taurus that will join our RCMP fleet...

Well maybe at some time in the future as an add on,but for now just an after thought...well...stay tuned. I just have the BCAS models left to fix and place,then a few extra personel skins and after all that then we will go nuts on buildings and such for the map.

Thanks for the compliments guys,the mod is based in Surrey,British Columbia on the west coast of Canada. easy to skin and a great job you did on it buddy!!

Here's the new 2011 RCMP police interceptor,model by cops,skin and edits by me.I've made a general duty,slicktop and an unmarked version.

Will Chuck Norris and the Texas Rangers be in the game?or is there no known modelling program that can duplicate the vast amount of polys needed to create him...

The day it becomes available for download it will be posted and the topic heading will be changed,but that's just common sense. Also, it's not a good idea to call other members a prick...even if you do add the happy face.

This link still works on our forum and are downloadable... http://forum.emergen...nd-other-stuff/

I had a few police units left and the BCAS then the models will be done as perfect as I can get them.

here's a shot of the new whelens that will replace our old versions...only 3 are pictured but they will be in various setups and most Whelen models included

press and hold shift then press enter. repeating again will turn it back on/off on a side note,go support the skinning contest and vote for your favorite skin. http://forum.emergen...s/page__st__220

They 'll come from the highway at the top which would be realistic.All lower mainland cities for the most part are to the left of Surrey, so they will come from top left highway. Lower mainland fire units will come from the same except for Surrey Fire which will come from in the city.
