Newfoundking

Alright, I understand that many may have taken offence by the post regarding model credits and what not, and I did not intend to cause offence. However, what's done is done, I apologize for any offence I have caused. We've had many problems with credits before, and therefore we have to follow the same set of making sure due credit is provided, as some people take a mile when given an inch, as we obviously don't want this happening we ahve to enforce a set flat rule for everyone. all is well and it was fixed easily. As for the models, from what I've gathered from my previous experience some model authors will want permission to be asked, others don't care. I'm leaving the models up to Mikey, as he is the original author of several of the LA mod models, so he reserves the right to limit use if he so wishes. Anyways, I just ask that all people please retrun to the topic of the submod, and not the problems with model credits, that'd be greatly appreciated. Thank you. EDIT: Well it seems I've got some catching up to do on post readings. Without getting too defensive, as a staff member, I reserve the right to publically announce any warnings, bans etc. How come it's fine when someone asks a release date to post that they've been warned or whatever, but it's not okay to inform a mod that it is currently under investigation for not creditting model authors (which is considered theft)? Basically, a rule is a rule. You break it, we punish you. If that means posting in your topic that you must adhere to the rule right away, that's just how it is. It's not immature. It'd be immature if I suspended everyone, locked the topic and closed the mod until I was given a fully updated Readme included in the mod. And I didn't do that, though I probably could've, I was nice.. See? I'm not pure evil. As much as I appreciate the back-up, and believe me it's nice to have back-up, I'm gonna suggest for your own good to just click report or something isntead of getting directly involved. Many times it escalates and ends in warnings and suspension for all. He was spoken to privately in a much longer PM, however this was a mere notice that in 24 hours the mod would be closed if the rules were not adhered to. I'd avoid calling people mentally challenged for 2 reasons. One, calling someone mentally challenged as a derogatory insult will get you warned 'round these parts. Two, it's very discriminatory to refer to someone who doesn't follow rules as mentally challenged becuase you think that's an insult. It's just like calling someone a faggot or a n*gger because it's insulting. Don't be at it, next time there will be warnings issued for derogtory attitude towards members. Now I'll kindly ask everyone to remain on the topic of the NY Submod, anyone wishing to comment on my post, can do so in a PM. Anyone concerned with wha tI said, please do so in a PM. I'd really hate to have to warn people, delete posts and clean up a mess of people going off topic, so this is a warning ahead of time, any posts referring to this last little situation will result in deletion and possible warnings.

Just for note, that has to be included in the actual mod, not just as a slightly editted readme thrown into the posts. And if that model is orignally from another author(MikeyPI), then you do indeed need to confirm permissions with him as stated in the 2 and 3 points in Copyright

Attention Dyson and/or Mod staff - The follwing must be complied to immediately. It has been brought to our attention that a unit in your mod may have been used without permission and credit given. The model author contacted me with his concern, and provided his copy of the model several weeks before the version was released, and now that it has been released, and he has noticed he was not in the readme, he has contacted our staff once again. After review of the models provided, and the models in question, it has indeed been determined that this model has been used without credit. You are to please update your credit list to include the authors of all models, or else this submod will be shut down immediately. You ahve 24 hours from the time of this post to respond, and if no action is taken, this mod will be closed permanently. EMP Staff Newfoundking.

All of yhou will receive a warning, post restriction and this topic will be closed if you keep bickering. Either off help, OP can offer answers to questions asked, or there is always this option for those who don't have comments relating to the original problem, which is to stay out of it. Thank you and have a nice day.

you are actually not allowed to ask no.

Probably after your ban for asking release dates expires.

Basically, there's all kinds of units in most mods that aren't put in freeplay because they can't be used or whatever... for that reason then, it is not included in the base. The file jsut give a link to what prototype to send and how many you start with. Techincally, you could spawn anything, if you give it a spawn point and a command. Thing is, not everything is controllable so it's highly recommended to stick to what's already there, and not add.

well et me point out a few things if you're thinking about the LA mod The Secret Service doesn't do much in LA Their main job is VIP protection, which is very boring (ie you follow them around in SUVs all day doing nothing) Even if something interesting happens, there's only so much you can do.. I think you might be more interested in the unmakred units submod, since that's what I'm thinking you'd want, something more like unmarked cars left right and centre, as well as undercover officers... Am I right?

Lemme restate rules... DO NOT PSOT unless it is your turn. If the person says go Newfoundking, I can go otherwise, I shouldn't be going.

The Federal mod by voodoo maybe?

Really you can get away with nothing but stations, it's rather simple if you follow the script set Hoppah did, it'll just be laggy and slow and take up a lot of map space, making the game too easy. That's why people avoid more than 2. Honestly, a main and a specialty station are more than enough for freeplay fire departments

Questions are limited to what they want to answer. We don't ban if they don't want to answer. We ban only if you ask release dates. Avoid that, and it's all good by me.

From now on, you all have a place to talk about stuff regarding New York. Units that have this or that, correct this and that. And it keeps the mod topics free of spam, and keeps everyone happy. Now no one has an excuse to go off topic talking about new york stuff in the mod topics. You've all been warned. Post merrily

Hi, Officer NFK here to clean up this mess. Everyone, watch yourselves. You are now on my watch. At all times, next time, no precurser, just a big fat warning. I'm closing this topic, and y'all better keep an eye on how you behave. Treat eachother nicely, or you won't be around long. Officer NFK

First of all, please contact a staff member privately with your old account information to have it closed. Secondly, to mod, you need to know how to model, UV map, and work your way around an XML file and the Editor. Which of these skills do you have?

Since it really seems like no one can play nice. Next person to post in a way that even slightly makes me think like it's a mean-ish post, will receive a ban. Sound fair enough? I've got my banhammer ready, and I'm just dying for someone to disobey so I get to use it. I don't mind threads, but play nice, or else I stop everyone's fun. Also, don't forget, replying to this post, gets you the same fate as disobeying it

Charger apparently will have a new look in 2011... And unless I get a load of free time, we're keeping the current style charger in this mod. Just FYI

Since you really can't read my text, I am forced to punish you. You've been suspended for 2 days. If you wish to contest your ban, you can contact me via PM.

Hoppah has stated he doesn't care if you use HIS models. Check permissions and if they are his, then you are permitted to use them as long as you credit him in the Readme.

Slicktop, as well as full bar. As for chevy, there is one of two of them left in the fleet. The rest is newer ford ambulances because of the package deal.

Just went over a few problems from the R-42 with MikeyPI, and it's all better now. I just finished the RNC Dodge Charger Slicktop cruiser (their new favourite kind apparently) and I'm working on fixing the impala

Oh the joys you could have if you just collected licence plate numbers.
