Oh sure now I left the East coast it gets exciting. There was a little shake in Colorado also.

I love the tidbits from the videos. I am still amazed the detail. You folks are doing great. To help you out a bit. Do you folks have a website like lamod does? If not and you know your way around a drupal site for example http://rodneymillerpca.thruhere.net/ I will be glad to host an absolutely free one for you where you have absolute control over it. If your interested let me know. Then pick a domain from here https://www.dyndns.com/services/dns/dyndns/premium.html example nysubmod.thruhere.net I can have it up in about 15 minutes.

I am trying to simple move the aerial ladder from la mod to a private mod and get no image to it. or it's tires. I tried this step as well as the excel trick and neither worked for me. Any ideas? This is the only unit this is happening too. Bless you. I had an issue with this one.

Sorry on the double. I could not delete this one.

Now this is a good debate. Who is going to handle the pot holes and snow removal? rofl

Thanks rafaelmfernandez and Dyson. I was just impressed that you folks are really great with even the smallest details and realism. I thought it deserved it's own status. The odd thing is I moved from West Pennsylvania to South West Texas to avoid snow and here I am in game with snow. rofl

Try comparing it with steps 17 through 23 here. http://rodneymillerpca.thruhere.net/misc/e4tut1b.pdf

Not too throw a wrench in the works however a few odd questions? Why a sub mod of Los Angeles Mod v2.0 and not Los Angeles Mod v2.1 or since it is NYC why not NYC MOD 1.0? Then again why a sub mod instead of a mod? NYSubmod2.3 is outstanding. I know someone will smack me for this post.

I am new at this however seen in a few posts recommendations to never change the metastrings.xml. I am confused are you renaming the ID to fire-engine, ENGINE01, or DPL01. Well in any case make sure in the vehicles folder the Unit.xml and in your mods "Specs" folder portraits.xml, in your "Lang" infotexts.xml and portraits.xml reflect the same exact ID. Just a suggestion However it might be a good idea to elaborate a little more also; Are you changing an ID on a unit in it's original mod? Is this a unit that is imported from another mod? What exactly is not showing up the unit itself in game or the name and description text displayed on the menu in game?

I know I am new here and should not say a word, However OMG! Yes search feature is excellent! There is way to many repeat posts. If your to lazy to search then scroll through all the posts. There is a lot of interesting content here. You might just get an answer to a question you do not have yet.

Thanks and God bless you! I have been trying to figure that out for hours.

Correct. Sorry. I took a dinner break. All up now in pdf. Let me know if it helps.

I have got it figured out. See tutorial here. http://forum.emergen...her-mods-to-it/

After reading Hoppah's tutorials "Basic Modding Info" located at http://www.emergency...emid=35〈=en and "Adding Vehicles" located at http://www.emergency...emid=35〈=en I attempted to create a new mod for my personal use that included vehicles from other Mods. I know it sounds easy and after 6 attempts costing 31 hours I found out it actually is. If you follow directions carefully and at times hunt through the forum here for little missed clues. As promised once I figured it out (TADA) Here is the Tutorial. Highlighting some of my mistakes and adding a few notes. Also found at my site http://rodneymillerp...isc/e4tut1b.pdf Update! The fix for the issues I had with the door axis is in the tut and also here http://forum.emergen...__fromsearch__1 Thank you Xplorer4x4 and Guest_Francis_* Updated to e4tut1b 08/20/2011 Just a thought. This method did not work with LA mods aerial ladder. For some reason the base does not show up. Also I think the doors. I just borrowed the NY Mod one. Updated 07/13/2012 Had to correct website link. e4tut1b.pdf

In the editor? If so make sure in the vehicle editor at the bottom where it says "Modelfile:" is correct and the file is in correct location. I had that issue once also. Also in the editor the one I am sliding over did appear as a box until I moved the units files over. I also had to edit the prototype location in the units.xml Example: From <prototype name="mod:Prototypes/Vehicles/03 LA Police/cv_chp.e4p" /> to <prototype name="mod:Prototypes/Vehicles/Police/cv_chp.e4p" /> since I am using simple file structure. This really should be something extremely simple once you logically figure out what files are connected to what. I have been working on it 12 hours today and 6 hours on it last night. Insane!

Yes. I also since posting tried it with another simple unit without the special crew. I have been over and over the tut. I am either missing the same step somewhere or there is a step missing? It's odd.

Agreed! Very talented!

Thank you for the response. I could not agree with you more. I have been for about 6 hours working on coping the motorcycle from LA mod 2.1 into a test mod. (This is not for public release! I would not do that with out proper permission and credit) Since this question is all over the forum as I get it I will post a complete tut and link all the loose posts to it. The least I can do. Ok. To explain how I am going about this. I am using "Emergency 4 Modding" Tut "3 Adding Vehicles" authored by "Hoppah" found here http://www.emergency...emid=35〈=en 1) Created the mod in editor and exited. 2)Created Lang,Models,Prototypes, Specs, and units folders. I also created the proper sub folders (In this case models\Vehicle\Police models\persons\Police (since this unit has a specific rider) Prototypes\Vehicle\Police & Prototypes\Persons\Police and finally Units\Vehicle\Personnel 3)I moved copy and pasted the proper model and texture files 4)I also corrected where need be the change from "03 LA Police" to simply "Police" in the "v30" model files. This is the point I believe it showed up perfect in the Editor. 5)I copy and pasted over the proper commands file since this unit had some unique commands and double checked that in the editor. 6)l edited the unit.xml as needed. 7)I copied the Spec files I needed from the "data" and edited them as needed. 8)I copied the lang files I needed from the "data" and edited as needed. So to wrap it up. It is in the editor perfectly. Yet not showing up in the freeplay menu after loading the test mod. Where did I boo-boo? BTW I also tried keeping them as original named "03 LA Police" and edited where needed as well. I get it perfect in editor and not in game. P.S. Again this mod will not be available to public without proper permission and credit. I will do a full tut on it if I fine the boo-boo here though. I like LAMOD and NYCMOD just the way they are. This mod I am doing is just for the little ones to goof with for the most part.

Excellent reply!

I am also trying to figure that out as well. E4 is excellent and the mods as well. A lot of top notch talent here. My other question is why don't we have an area to download the individual vehicles to slide into mods? The creators can then get individual credit as well as sub credits within mods.

Good heavens don't let it die! I just discovered you and EM4. There is a lot of excellent work here. I would buy it at that bargain price however already host. I volunteer to host any files related to here if anyone needs the extra host though. That is an excellent price though.

I am new to EM4 and have not multi-played as of yet. The basic game from what I see there is 6 listed. Only 1 English though. LA Mod 2.1 is showing about 10 most English. None currently showing for NYC Mod 1.01.Give the list a few minutes more to load or try at a different time maybe?
