Its not a hack it just captueres whatever is on the screen. He was asking if you modified the config file to enable you to zoom in so close to the unit. Keep up the good work and before you know it you'll be very good at it! I sure in the hell cant do anything in zmod so congrats on your models!

I have found SOMETIMES you cna skip max, sometimes you cant.

^lol at you to. Chicago has the lead! I might, just maybe be interested in helping a small amount just because its a city i am familiar with and i love it up there. However I will have my hands full soon so wont be able to offer much time.

Last time I read, it was actually almost complete. Forgot who was working on it, they just had one problem with the script or something. Cant recall if it was big or small bug, but it was nearly 100%. Maybe not to the extent of what was described here but i forgot the details on it as I havent heard news on it for some time.

It wouldnt be complete with out the UFO Investigation unit though! I found it the other day. It was a fake department and they drove a crown vic, all black and said UFO investigation unit in orange writing some where on the back. It's only proper ya know. just kidding

I might do that(contact him) but I kind of want to see what it looks like once it is skinned first to get a better idea what it looks like.

As mikey said paint sucks but it is possible. You can pick up older versions of Adobe Photoshop, like v 7, for under $100 if i recall correctly.If thats out of your budget, give paint.net a try http://www.getpaint.net/ I personally use photoshop 7. I have tried CS series but I just dont like them as much as 7. The only major advantage of say CS4, is it handles more image formats, and it can even load a 3ds model in 3d. Over all though it just doesnt offer much new to make me want to switch, and thats price aside.

Locking compresses the files even more though just fyi.

^just double click the mod file and it will do all the work for you.

^yep. Maybe this was another game then. I tried Fire Captin 3 but that wasnt it, and I cant think of any other games like this for PC.

PNG works fine.

Just to make sure I am clear, although i dont believe it will matter, it functions EXACTLY like the engineers ability to rotate but it is on a vehicle.

Scaling is done in zmod.

Wow they have there own PD cars for schools? All we have is the regular cvs marked just like the city. One or two may say School Safety across the top or bottom of the rear window.

Ok I just assumed since the EMTs on the LA Mod cant use them this was how it was in real life.

I know that. I was referring to a vehicle with the ability.

Thats not a Chevy 5500 is it?

Well this isnt LA Mod related, but the station I grew up by was a 2 engine house. Eventually it was torn down and rebuilt with a third bay for the BC. Anyways my point is it is now stocked with 2 ladder trucks. I am guessing one is a quint to be technical. So if there was an MVA requiring extrication, My guess is the ladder truck(not the quint) rolls on this one. You could always script the HES to part outside Station 1 and 2 and then you have them on the map already.

I am stumped here as I could have sworn there was a truck some where with a rotating flood light on the top of it? I thought maybe it was LA Mod for EM3, but wow I havent loaded that for so long I see how far EM4 came and it doesnt look like EM3/LA Mod would have had the capabilities of such. So I loaded EM4 with out the mod, couldnt find it there. Nor have I seen it in LA Mod fro EM4 as best as I can recall. The closest thing I can think of is the engineer and his mobile flood lights. So what I am asking is, am I delusional here that thinking this was in EM4/LA Mod some where.?

^I had no idea it was like that these days. I cant believe people would rob the ffs like that. I dont exactly approve of stealing in the first place but that takes it to the extreme there. Now I realize why one of the stations I stopped at today had heavy duty locks and key pads on the doors. I did get to stop at one station and they were more then happy to even pull the trucks out for me. Of course I only asked for 2 of the 4 trucks but still. Not to mention the station is a run down POS and houses 2 Engines, a brush and a Chevy 5500 Medium Walk In Rescue parked in 2 single file rows. Happy to open the rigs up, explain the uses of the rigs. Hell he even pointed out that there main pumper has 1500 gallon tank while most of the city trucks have a 500 gallon. Explained why they also special in Hazmat, and alot of various reason for there apertures and techniques. I also have another question. :$ A BLS FF would not be trained/allowed to use a defib right? So why do so many fire engines carry them if they cant use them?

Just making sure but your making the edits in the mod folder right, not the game data? I thought about doing something like this to. Any chance of a sneak peak?

I would say Chicago. First of all because I love the city. Used to road trip up there quite often. Secondly since your a Chicago Firefighter, according to your name, then obviously apertures pics would be easy to obtain. Plus it gives you an edge because you know already know the apertures equipment and there various applications.

Not a problem bama, hoped it help. I think Mikey and I were saying the same thing he just explained it alot better lol.

Im sure there are people here that would do it for free. And heres soemthing to consider. Zmod only needs to be purchased to import files, but i believe it can export regardless. I could be wrong, Anyways the point is you can use zmod to create and export units untill you decide weather you can be a modeler or not. You can always save your models as zmodeler files and open them this way.

The best way i have found is to get a straight top down view. Then it will move front to back only. Then get straight in front or backof the vehicle or at the slightest angle possible then arrange it again. Its not the best way but its the best thing i have found.
