Yes indeed ..And thanks to a fellow named Yevgeny (nickname Veg) who made a patch for the game to tweak it models perviously out of reach now can be played, He killed the poly limit in the game or made it insanely high if not totally killing it, That 1958 Wartburg is 18246 polies , For some of these cars you need that patch to play with them or the game will certainly crash after loading.

Years ago I couldn't help but notice the abundance of ColdWar East Bloc vehicles floating around from various sites for various games that would work in N.F.S. HighStakes and also the handful that was made for N.F.S. HighStakes already.. Years ago after Noise on NFS Addons mentioned how it would be neat to have a ColdWar mod using these I have compiled over 5 years research and talked to the various Former VoPos and other former East Bloc citizens I have met in a collector's forum I'm a member of and also met some on YouTube..After my countless conversations and research to accurately make the police and civillian vehicles as accurate as the game alloows..I Present to you the N.F.S. HighStakes ColdWar Mod (started in mid 2011 and still continuing) When ever possible NO detail has been spared or left untouched in the police officers driving the police vehicles for each country in the mod. I have attempted to build the most comprehensive force to pursue you the player starting with old to what was the norm by 1980's. D.D.R. VolksPolizei starting with 1950's and working to late 1980's. Police Station: 1958 Wartburg 312 (I also have a station wagon (Kombi) of this in the works. The credits for this base car go to whoever built the Mafia Ikarus Mod (No READ.Me in it so I don't know who) 1959 Volga M21 (Purchased along with the M22 (Station Wagon) from TurboSquid Lada 2107 VolksVerkehrsPolizei: Lada 2101 Zhiguli multi pursuit (thanks to Franknfurter for multible textures: Lada 2106 VolksPolizei (base vehicle is Arman's from NFS Cars: Lada 212 Niva VolksPolizei (1982) Volga M24 Soviet Militia GAI unit.: Lada 2101 Zhiguli Soviet Militia GAI unit: Polski Fiat 125P Polish Milicja (car made by modding Arman's Lada 2106) I have others but they are in the process of being redone and will be reposted later when done. So what you'all think? Neat eh? And a trip back in time LOL.

I see..That explains alot..When I saw that file and listened to it I thought it was used when dealing with the demonstrators crowded around the entrance of a building.

I notice in both the U.S. and German versions of this game there is a file of police hollering on a bullhorn to the demonstrators..Yet in game play this never seems to happen, Is there a way to make the police holler at the crowds with a bullhorn? What key do I push? PS..Not sure if this goes here..If not a admin can move it.

I get the error: A device attached to the system is not functioning.

Ok after some rips from the DDR mod and M60 mod I found the models are decent enough for N.F.S. HighStakes you need to resize them to 200% in CarCad otherwise they look like diecast models in the game, After resizing them they work beautifully. Here you can see the VolksPolizei water cannon from the D.D.R. mod and the UAZ police van from the M60 mod:

I called 2 cop cars out to a terrorist hunt so I'd say you can call as many as the dept. has as long as you have the money as it costs money to call local emergency services.

Agreed..But it seems people either don't watch for new posts much or they are having so much fun playing with the game they can't tear them selves away to reply . Anyway I was wondering if the mod editor is only in the Deluxe Emergency 4 or if the regular one has it too? I just have the regular one installed, Don't have Deluxe. If it's a Deluxe only thing then that is why I and maybe others can't find it no where.

I guess we should start a new one then.

I tried this and it says that path: "C:\Program Files (x86)\WizardWorks\911 - First Responders\Em4.exe"-editor is NOT valid,I even tried removing the -..Same thing..Not Valid.

The London mod was reported as broke..I downloaded it and it plays fine on my PC though.

No I meant would the Emergency 4 mod vehicles work in NFS High Stakes..Or are those way too high poly to use in that game..I know the siren sounds work well in HighStakes so I'm hoping the models would too, I used one for my Bulgarian police car:

Ok..Thanks. Yes NFS HighStakes will never die off because it by far is the easiest to work with..The programs you use to make police and other emergency vehicles is cut and dry..No complicated tasks to remember. Only drawbacks is TGA limits: 256X256 (most used) and 512X512 (rarely used) I'm kind of wondering if the vehicles from Emergency 4 mods would work for HighStakes or if they is too high poly..I could definatly use the DDr VolksPolizei Barkas B1000 vans for my ColdWar mod: http://rion-fan.deviantart.com/gallery/38461303 Anyway about your PC issues and HighStakes?..Have you tried using the stock packs from Jim Diablo? I got mine to work that way and setting the game to admin rights.

Who on here mods for NFS HighStakes? I love that game because it is so easy to work with and there is a plethera of vehicles one can use to make mods. while I don't build anything from scratch I do repaint and decal vehicles to several agencies around my area and around the World. I also do sirens for the game. You can check out my mods here: www.nfspolicehq.com I know VooDoo Operator was quite active on this game once .

I am playing the Russia mod (M60 Road Mod) and I have changed it to a city by replacing the map with that of the game it's self..I need to add a option to police..I need them to redirect traffic at wrecks or other instances when I want them to..I added the game's default: Redirect and Redirect traffic command strings but they still won't control traffic like the police do in other mods..Adding redirect though DID make them control and reroute people. What do I need to do to make these guys do the same with traffic?

Well you can try what I did..Reinstall your Windows, Disable updater and update notifier and then try to play the game..If it still won't work I don't know what you could do.

I had a simular issue..The screen would go black like it was gonna boot the game but then a few seconds later it would just return to the desktop. I had to reinstall my Windows 7 Home Premium and then kill ALL of the Windows update things and the update reminders and reinstall the game.

Will the game boot up or does it just go to a black screen for a few seconds and then right back to your desktop?

So when do you think the U.S.S.R. mod will be out? I'd like to try it out..If you need the Soviet Militia siren I have ripped that from SoundDogs for NFS HighStakes but I think it can be used in Emergency 4..Not sure though as I have never made sirens for this game,,The siren is a Tesla AZD..It was made in Czechoslavakia but used in U.S.S.R. too..Here is a video showing my mod with it..It's at the final parts:

Yeah..I found that out late lastnight..It's in the 2 Base things. 1 other thing though..How can I make the police start controlling traffic? I tried the Redirect script..Well that added the ability to control people now but still I can't get them to control traffic..Only can make them stop it..I need to make them reroute it the other way at some wrecks,fires,etc.

I have a question..I'm playing the Russia mod for Emergency 4 (M60 Road) I changed the map to make it from a small village to BIG city..So I'm wondering..If I edit the scripts can I increase the number of police,Fire,and EMS vehicles available? I been looking at the scripts but don't know what to change to make more vehicles available for me.

I too have had this issue..I think it is something to do with Windows's Updates..Because when my install of Windows 7 Home Premium was fresh it worked fine..After about 5 months it stopped working but everything else was fine..So I've reinstalled my Windows 7 Home Premium and disabled ALL updates and Autoupdater and I checked to make sure the game played and it did so now it might not quit working.
