When loading a mission I get these random bugs and crashes. One time it loads, another it does not. I have windows 7 too. I don't know what is the problem. The base game or LA Mod. Remember LA Mod has had no development on it since 2.2 by Hoppah (as far as I am aware) so it may be LA Mod, but I am not going to flame LA Mod without enough proof.

Thanks, however I cannot find the options for Invincible. If I edit traits of a pedestrian car I can change the resistance to items like shots, but for ingame cars no such area of the edit traits window is shown. Why is this?

Thanks, but what must I do after? Does it save auto when I click OK or must I "save the map" (possible overwriting the whole map with just blank area and a car)?

GIMME! - Hurry up with that final version - That reminds me... What screen recorded did you use? O.o

That was helpful. /facepalm Playing around with it won't tell me what the smaller VO's are, nor will it tell me how to edit the car park.

Hello, I am trying to edit some places too. If you look on the normal LA Mod map, and go to the center and move a tad to the left, you will spot a fast food shop with a drivethru. It has a pretty good car park. What I have done is deleted the idle cars, and moved some bushes/barriers out the way around the store for entrance/exit. I'm going to use that as a custom station for many vehicles, where I will hold Patrolcars, SUVs, Bomb Squad, EMS, Heavy Rescue, Technician, and other small vehicles in it. A custom station near the center of the map is easyier than editing the fire station. I have two questions about this. Maybe someone, could please enlighten me? The first thing is those virtual object pictures. What is the smaller virtual object there for? I spot it infront of the fire station gates too. Is it the object where vehicles align up to go forward/backwards into the space? What do I name the object? The second thing is I want to change the lines of the car park, however I find no way in the editor to edit it. I don't know if it is a DDS file or something which makes up all the ground and its markings or not. What file/option do I use to change that? Thanks for any help, -Groovy PS: Agentchung how is your base doing?

Thanks - I only use editor to play about, so when I click "OK" later, does it save automatically or not?

Hi All, Is there any way to make some vehicles fireproof, bombproof, bulletproof and be resiliant against other hazards? Regards, -Groovy

The equipment LA Mod puts into the vehicles, such as the guns, shields, barricades, cones and flares, are not in the XML and are apparently in a script, but I cannot find it. Also, I know for editing default base game equipment I need to edit the XML file, which I can do fine, but I need to update the traits in the editor. I edit the traits, and click okay. What do I need to do next? Is the click on "OK" going to save the item? or do I save the map? (I'm not going to try it without confirmation as it may wipe the map and replace it with nothing except a vehicle in the middle)

We get the idea you don't want lag, but thats not guaranteed. The way you use the computer can impact things regardless of performance.

I would like to play ambulance, and if nobody is on it I can do technical too; If that is okay with you though.

Hello All, I am a big customizer. I like to change things around. In the EM4 editor, I have been playing around with items on the map. I've been duplicating and adding those yellow hydrant things all over the city so cops can use them, (I have added hoses to cop cars) and have duplicated those red things at the fire station that act as a trailer and contain all the equipment. However, I have came across some stuff I simply cannot do. 1) I wish to remove/edit the car parking spaces at some places, and I cannot figure out how to do this. 2) It is possible to simply make something hold an object without adding commands? (For example, Give every hydrant a fire hose) 3) I wish to change the items used in vehicles that are not in the XML's or Traits (such as riot shields and guns). I got told these were in a script. What script are these in? Looked in every file or script that has a relation to weapons, guns, or vehicles. Thats all for now. If anyone knows any of them, please alert me to them. Any help is deeply appriciated. Thanks, -Groovy

Do the forenzics have any special commands? I really want the police tape that is coming <3

Works for me. Note you need updated graphics drivers. I had difficulty finding them. The game crashed after 3 seconds of loading before the update. Just remember the drivers are included in the Catalytic Manager.

What scripts must I edit to remove/add these special items? Thanks for all the help so far, its goin' great!

Hmm... How can I stop some events happening so much, yet make some events happen a lot? I know its in the XMLs but I cannot find out where.

O.o The "dozen_transporter" is the only disabled one. How come I found the old LAPD helicopter ingame and its not in that list? (Unless I got names mixed up) - I also see how to disable too. Just add the "comment/ignore" <!-- xxx --> tags like in HTML or PHP. ;P Thanks a hellovva' lot! While on the topic of vehicles, I have been using this tutorial for a while now: Their is a bit for equipment, Where things like roadblocks and fire extinguishers are. How come flares, cones, barricades, guns and shields are not their for the vehicles that use them? O.o

Thanks! Thats good as I can re-enable it in future. For that file I only know the count changes the amount of vehicles of each you get on load, but never knew what would happen if I removed it. One issue. Not all vehicles are in that file. Hm... In the unit XML for each vehicle there is a "freeplay" section. I know freeplay is mission 22 - Would removing 22 from the freeplay part of the XML work too? Also, Ill ask here instead of another thread. Is it possible to enable vehicles too? The old police heli, Secret service, ect, are all "hidden" from freeplay. I know they are their as some commands can call them - They simply don't appear on the dispatch menu to the left. How can I display them? Thanks again, -Groovy

Hi All, After fiddlin' with vehicle XML files, and reading many threads about modding, I was just thinking of getting rid of vehicles which are useless. Useless to me of course, but things like... Is it CHPD? The cops in cream uniform? I don't need them as I have LAPD, for example. I want to remove these from the game, however I am unsure what files to delete to get rid of the vehicles safely. I don't know if they are linked up to a script like PHP can be... Deleting the vehicle under "Units" may mess with a script, thus causing game issues. What files must I delete to delete a vehicle safely? Regards -Groovy
