As far as I am aware there arent any near by, and really theres only one PC shop in town that carries parts like processors and mobos on the shelf. There are a few small reapir stores that can order parts but since I am going through a middle man I am sure it would be more. We have a Best Buy but the only things they really carry on the shelf are DVD burners, cables and things like that. Oh I thought you meant this one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16813188039 I see no reason for a fourth PCIe X16 slot. Plus I am just dont trust the board yet. Thats just me but I dont care how great it is claimed it will be, its just too new at this point. Well I want to do raid but for now I am just doing one and then I will probably add another a month or two down the road depending on how a non raid set up goes. Again price.. Nah no ocing, maybe in the future but for now I should be fine.

I'll try. Sorry the boards about $100 more so doesnt look its gona happen. Meh the velociraptors are killer but there are other hard drives out there that are cheaper and perform almost the same. Caviar Black is one of them. Might do that. Why wait? If I always wait for the bigged better card then I will be waiting forever. I am currently using a Mozart TX case and a Corsair 520 HX and they should work just fine for the new build according to corsairs website.

Looking for some upgrades here soon. Obviously I work with 3d models a little bit, and photoshop as well. However I also do alot of video editing and watching(alot of high def), as well as conversions and such. From time to time I run a virtual machine or two to test somethings out in various linux distros. And to top it off, I have a bad habit of multi tasking alot of stuff at once. I know there arent to many hardcore geeks here but figuered I would get feedback from those of you who are geeks. Current build: Intel Core 2 Quad Q 6600 Asus P5N-D EVGA 9800 GTX+ 500 MB Patriot Viper 2x2 GB DDR 2 RAM EVGA Nvidia 9800 GTX+ 512 MB GDDR3 Corsair 520HX PSU Its pretty solid, but I am looking for something more powerful and something more future proof as well. I'll start with the processor upgrade since this is for sure: Intel Core i7 920 Nehalem 2.66GHz LGA 1366 130W Quad-Core Processor Model BX80601920 - Retail Now obviously I need a new mobo. I dont care much for NVIDIA chipsets. I was thinking of this one: GIGABYTE GA-EX58-UD3R LGA 1366 Intel X58 ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16813128375 I want this to be, and stay lightning fast, so I think a dedicated OS drive is needed so I dont clutter up my OS drive with downloads. Western Digital Caviar Black WD5001AALS 500GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive - OEM http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16822136320 I also considered this: Seagate Barracuda ES.2 ST3250310NS 250GB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive - OEM http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16822148309 The seagate, being a smaller drive, seems like it would be a little faster, but is it? Not to mention its $5 more for half the storage space. Moving on to RAM: Patriot Viper 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model PVS34G1333LLKN - Retail http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16820220333 Not the best known brand but they make solid products and I hear there customer support is great. To top it off they match my green cathodes and such. Pretty set on this. Last but not least, a video card. We have the: EVGA 01G-P3-1156-TR GeForce GTS 250 Superclocked Edition 1GB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card - Retail http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16814130470 or we have the SAPPHIRE 100259-1GL Radeon HD 4870 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFire Supported Video Card - Retail http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16814102801

Well I was browsing and I found ultimate unwrap3d has a plus ing for v3o files and it supports bones, but for some reason I cant get the plug in to work. Just thought I would throw this out there as others may have more luck then I did.

So your saying they never used Ford Trucks?

Yeah you said "going into" so I thought that was some sort of translation for trying to say you were converting an EM3 Mod to EM4.

You can always upload it to rapidshare.com and pm it to them, and if its to big for rs, use http://www.filedropper.com

lol sorry my girl was yelling at me at the time so my mind was kind of scatter brain at the time Like i said stupid question lol. I knew it was soemthing obvious just wasnt focused.

The answer is on the forums but basically sketch up->export to 3ds->Loads 3ds in 3ds->Export to 3ds again->Load in Zmoddeler->Export v3o.

I dislike most of the cops around here. Most are pricks, but there are a few exceptions. There is atleast one LEO on this forum that i talk to from time to time and thats Texas_DPS but hes pretty cool. I also met a highland indiana cop that was pretty cool. He made a traffic stop on me because I just got off the interstate on a two lane exit ram and it merge into the highway below right by a gas station I needed to stop at for gas. Well as I was about to merge I sped around a blazer because it swerved in my lane and cut me off. So he was hiding out running radar and pulled in the gas station while I was pumping and questioned me and my girl. He made me sit in his cruiser while he ran my info and even let me sit up front and let me off with a warning and let me off with a warning and even wished me a happy birthday. Anyways stupid people...well lets see I got 2 more stories. I will try to make them brief.Well when i was in 8th grade, I was playing on a zip line. Well my friend had just sprayed WD40 on the pulley and I didnt realize it was all over the handle. So when I swung out to slide to the other end, I lost my grip, feel flat on my back and landed on a tree root. That tree root caused me to break L3, L4, and L5 in the Lumbar process. I feel bad calling my friend stupid, but she made a stupid mistake the other day. She was coming over to borrow a movie. Well she had her 2 year old son in the car, and he hadnt had a nap earlier in the day so he would not get up for nothing, so instead my girl and I walked down to the parking lot and took my book of movies. Well she left the car on so the AC would keep him cool, and she acidentley locked her keys in the car with her son in the car.

Indeed, Alienware look nice and there great in terms of power, but there over priced.

Stupid question whats is WMD?

I would be nice of there was more of a beach front area on the maps so there was room for it to patrol the beaches, but i think a parking script would be the next best thing.

That reminded me of my stupid cops and stupid doctors stories. When I was 15 I had a moped, well I was headed south bound on a small side street thats never busy. Well I was minding my own business and riding along, well some jack @$$ thought he owned the road and whipped in front of me to get into the drive through of a fast food chicken joint. Well I couldnt swerve to avoid him so i hit him right in the front fender area of his saturn sedan and flew up on the hood. Now I wasnt injured seriously, just bumps and bruises but my moped was totaled. Well we called 911, they asked if any one was seriously injured. They asked if it was blocking traffic, but because we moved it wasnt. Of course they said they would send an officer out shortly. Well in an hour and a half 3 cops drove by and didnt once stop. It took 90 minutes or so for a cop to show up. Now I realize that we said there was no serious injuries and it wasnt blocking traffic, but come on dont you think when there is moped vs vehicle you should send some one to check it out right away? Another time my friends and I were in an old Cutlass Sierra, a 93 I believe. We were headed down a little side street that had the righ away at most intersections along the strip of street. Well a guy from the local energy company was driving a ford contour coming down one of the cross streets and he had a stop sign. Well he was to busy digging on the floor board to stop and t-boned our car. I was sitting in the back set on the drivers side which absorbed the most impact. He was doing almost 35, in a zone that technically speaking is 30, but your expected to do like 30 because there residential areas. Well I wasnt going to go the the hospital at first, but when i realized I had a huge knot and a small gash on my head i decided it was for the best. Now they get me to the hospital and I am strapped in to a backboard and c-collar. They left me laying in the ER for an hour in the c-collar and back board. The doc came in and was like oh I had no idea you were in this condition..

So I dont get it, your trying to convert an EM3 mod to EM4? Well the vehicles may import just fine. For people, rather then reskining them all by hand, you might be able to just apply the dds/v3o to one of the civilians already in the game. Just have to find the right civis to put the skins on and that just trial and error.

Of course. This wont replace any people or vehicles, it will simply be an add on containing a lifeguard truck and a male and female lifeguard. The male/female is actually decided automatically by the game just as it for the male and female LAPD Officers. I may go ahead and release this here in a bit with out any lights but none the less 2 light versions will be available soon. a realistic set which will be easy on those of you with older pcs, as well as a heavy duty package for those of you with pcs that can handle Tony's Light pack. One last thing before I go work on a few finishing touches, I will not be included xml files like freeplaybase.xml. Instead I will include an XML file that explains what files to edit .It should be pretty easy to follow as it will say something like this: This may scare some of you but i assure you it should be pretty easy. The reason for this is if I include a freeplaybase.xml(for example) and the only thing I do is add the line: <vehicle prototype="mod:Prototypes/Vehicles/02 LA Fire Department/lifeguard_truck.e4p" count="2" /> Then i save and close it, this will erase the edits for things like the caprice or crown vic sub mod. This is easier for me, because I dont have to explain over and over again how to add it with out erasing other submods, and it saves people from wondering why the caprice, crown vic, etc arent working when they add my/Daren's submod. Note to a mod: If possible can you remove the poll from my thread. I got all the feedback I need and it clutters the topic. Thanks.

Just download the free version of Daemon Tools(google it), and mount each bin file and install it that way. The only problem I can see is that this mystery exe file patches the games exe file to run with out a cd, but theres ways around that anyways.

^but i liked the running board lights! Any chance we can see a video?

As said before a few times, its trial and error. Its just soemthing you have to learn to do. Its not the hardest part but its not the easiest part either.

Anybody in the states should know how bad the winter was here this year. We had a major ice/snow storm that wiped out power to over 50,000 people in the tri-state area. It took 2 weeks to restore power in some of the more rural parts of Kentucky. Interstate I-164 was shut down because there were so many slide offs. Several cops had to be pulled out using tow trucks, and there were so many branches and power lines down that some fire departments couldnt even operate there engines and has to rely on there brush trucks to get around. Plus when we get snow its chaos on our roads if you dont have 4 wheel drive. Luckily for me I have a 2004 Ford Ranger Edge 4x4 with a large wrap around brush guard on the front. Well my girl and I were coming home from the laundry mat down the street when we saw a teenage girl stuck in an late 90s model civic trying to exit a parking lot and cross a 5 lane street,(2 lanes headed north and south with a center turn lane). Well she decided she was going to cross 3 lanes to make a left turn. That was her first mistake aside from exiting the parking lot through its entrance rather then using the small side street right next to the lot. Shes stuck and her boyfriend or brother was in the car with her trying to push her out. There was also a guy in a car trying to shovel her out. Well with having a bad back I wasnt going to get out and help but I said I can push her out using my truck. So her boyfriend or brother gets in her car and the guy steps aside. Well I am pulling up inch by inch to make contact with her, but I waited until traffic was clear so that should i bump to hard I dont push her in to traffic and cause an accident. So i leave about an inch gap. Traffic clears for a minute, and as I pull up to make contact she decided to floor it, well she was able to rock slightly forward maybe an inch only to come sliding back to where she was, and since I was pulling up it made for a good jolt when i made contact. I think it even cracked her back bumper, but the man shoveling her out was just like oh well thats what she gets. It didn't phase my brush guard.

Good to hear. Do you think the script cane detect the collision to trigger it though? I would think if there is a variable at our disposal that indicates collision data it would work using an if statement.

It would be nice of w00ds if hes still around to combine the files togeather so you download one package for 911:FR/EM4 or one package for Em4:DX.

I will try to work on one or two of these tonight.

^dont lie you want the guy in the thong. I'll put him in there just for you Update:NFK said he could do the basic/realistic light package over the weekend.

Well to add on to what Mikey said, it is good for water rescues. http://forum.emergency-planet.com/index.ph...ost&p=21246 I think Darren himself explained it pretty well. UPDATE: Male and Female lifeguards are now working! As I said above the models from the original mod would not convert, so I had to apply the texture to a male and female civil person. Fortunately the game had 2 males in shorts with no shirt or shoes at my disposal, and one female with a bathing suit. I tried to use the LAPD models but it pretty much made a guy in a thong as the model was to thick lol.
