I think you mention the triggers in the script and that makes working ones.

1. On the download page select download and then SAVE 2. Save it to desktop 3. When its done, open the EM3 Mod installer 4. A little window should appear 5. Click the button that says 'Install' 6. A window should appear 7. Through the window Look on your desktop for the file you downloaded 8. Click on it and select open 9. It should install and be in the game. Sometimes mods are in zip files just copy and paste everything in it to a non zip file then repeat the process I hope I helped!

I had the exact same problem you have. I had the same messages too. What you need to do is install it on a different computer, that is what fixed mine. If you did and you get the same message then maybe you should put it on a different type of computer.

What you should know: 1. How to download and use modeling programs 2. How to use the Mission editor 3. How to speak C++ Scripting language As far as the models go, I have no idea. I just use the trucks from the stock EM3 In the strategy first folder there should be a manual to the mission editor and that may give you an idea of what its like The toughest part is writting a mission script which controls the car accidents and adds objectives and pretty much runs the mission and without it, the mission won't run. Answer to 1: Yes, you need a modeling program and I think its Z-modeler but the mission editor is installed with the game. Answer to 2: A floor is what makes up the grass, dirt, stains, roads, etc. You need to make it in a program too. Answer to 3: Just build the model and use the script files in the game to add the vehicle, and the equipment and people who can ride in it. I know I'm not clear but that is as clear as it gets! Most people learn by looking at other maps and mods. Good luck!

Alright first even making one mission can take a very long time. The mission editor is located in the Strategy first folder in case you don't know.If you open it up you should notice there is a grid like floor. If you want a playable mission you shouldn't be seeing that! So first you load a 'floor' a floor is what makes the dirt, grass, rock, and stains on the ground of a mission. Select 'edit' and then terrain and load a floor. Select anything and a floor should appear.Once you've got that you can begin making a mission. Look in all the game folders for the 'EMERGENCY-EDITOR.pdf' file which is a guide to the editor. Now, the vehicles you see in mods are built with special programs and made with complex codes. Once you have added detail to your mission you must save it and go to the main 'Strategy First' folder. Under 'Mods' Right click and make a new folder using the name of your mod. Go into the main 'Data' folder and copy all the files you want to edit into your mod folder. When you make a mod all it is doing when you select it from the game is replacing the main files with the modded ones to make it different. To make one for the LA mod you have to click and drag your mission scripts and edit the 'missions' file and the 'campaign' file. Which is very hard to understand so I suggest for you to study the main EM3 missions before attempting to do this. IMPORTANT: When you make a mission you must make a 'Script' which is a notepad file with CPU System commands that adds and controlls objectives and events and even I haven't figured it all out yet. This will take time and good luck! PS: When I learned (And still learning how to now) I messed up 3 copies of the game trying to make a mod and I finaly got one mission going but some still won't work!

Maybe you need a patch for it. I here there are many of them but I don't know much about it.

The 'Floor' of a map cannot be made in the editor. You have to draw it up in a program, then you can load your mission and load the texture. It will then put a floor in the mission. I hope I helped.

Open the 'Strategy First' folder. Then look in the 'Specs' folder and find 'vehicles.xml' you can open this with notepad and this will allow you to change the amount of squad the car can hold, the amount of injured and prisoners it can hold, and even the equipment each vehicle can carry. Edit it with care!

I have some experience with making missions. I know how to use the editor but one big problem has got me stuck. I know that every mission must have a script to control the mission events. But I want to make a simple mission with no objectives and events. How can I do that? Anything helps.
