As randomperson states, this is a job for the Kampfmittelraumdienst, aka the bomb squad. They can be found under dispatch-menu 3, it's the icon with the dynamite bundle on it. This will call for a sedan and two vans, one pulling a trailer carrying a small digger. Good luck!

CS gas? Do you mean the flashbang? I've never seen CS gas in Winterberg mod...

Thank you randomperson. The mystery is still unsolved though!

Thank you!

Yea, that crossed my mind. Maybe I should just download the mod and see... Hm, getting late for that right now.

True. I wonder, where was the screenshot in the first post found? On imageshack itself, or linked in from another forum?

It might be, since there is only one screenshot it's hard to tell. (By the way, thanks for the link to that page, usefull for finding new and complete mods!)

Have you tried the link yourself?

After a little google-searching I found this post on emergency-forum.de. The download is gone and I haven't found anything else... Yet. Might this be it: Luxemburg Mod @ emergency-planet.de. No news here, it's probably dead and gone. It does say though, that Hoppah had some connection to this... Hm. Winterberger too, that's the main guy behind Winterberg mod, if my memory serves me right.

This is new. Hm... Haven't seen these vehicles before. I was almost betting on it being a Wuppertal-screenshot, but the vehicle markings and colors are wrong. Interesting!

They probably have, but this begs the question of recognizabilty. If (for example) Ford was trying to take legal action against a mod that incorporated a Mondeo, they would have to find a violating use of their logo, or other copyrighted elements. If they can find something to base a complaint-case around, action can be taken by them. Let's say that a billboard with advertisement from the GTA IV-game was included in the mod, and that the image itself was copyrighted by RockStar. If the quality of the image is good enough, so that it becomes easily recognizable, Rockstar might feel that this is copyright infringement (and they would be in full right too). There is a lot of probability in your post... Anyway; A**holes or not, there is no guarantee that a company will see beneficial publicity in a copyright infringement. This depends on what the new mod portrays from the original game. This again depends on what is infringed upon. If a brand or company feels that it's name is being portrayed in a unlawful or unwanted fashion, and that this portrayal is performed for a large group of people (there is undeniably a large base of people that play various EM3/4-mods in the world), they may feel forced to take legal action (this includes cease & decist-letters) as not to have their good/mediocre/bad reputation slandered. About the EM-scene not having heard of a large amount of these legal actions against modders might be caused by the fact that most companies etc. don't know too much about the Emergency-games, or the large community of mods and modmakers. This makes it difficult for them to keep track over if and where their copyrighted material is being used without previous agreement. I agree with you in the unprobability of a "big firm" taking action against a small mod, but I only want to bring up the point that the possibilty is there. Depending on what country one resides in, what form of distribution is used for the mod, what actually is incorporated from the original game that the mod is based on, etc. This is not as to say that making mods is necessarily a bad idea or violation of the law, quite the opposite, I merely find this an interesting point of matter to share.

You think, but you don't know? They probably haven't put a copyright claim on the name of Liberty City itself, I was thinking more along the lines of the other content of the GTA IV game. Character names, vehicle designs, map textures, etc. can be copyrighted, and probably is by Rockstar Games. Depending on how much of the actual game is going to be included in the (eventual) EM4-mod, copyright liabilities may occur.

Quick solution; go into your editors and give the FBI negotiator commands for calling police vehicles etc. Of course you would have to do some scripting to make a "Call SWAT / FBI"-command. But there you go; a police supervisor.

Maybe there are some copyright-issues to consider here as well?

Montreal, I presume. Is it a rescue truck?
