I agree with Handsup. The modding community for EM4 already has so many great mods that it's really not necessary or wanted to switch to EM5. Modders for EM4 are already familiar with its scripting, models, map editing, and everything in-between. The graphics for EM4 are perfectly fine by my standards especially for the style in which the game is meant to be played. EM5 has made an emphasis on graphical upgrades, which they did, but there are still a lot of issues with the game that have yet to be fixed. There's really no need, unless you're truly a graphics junky, to switch to EM5 when there are many modders/mod teams out there that have a lot of experience with EM4. In my opinion if the marvelous EM4 modders/mod teams do switch over to EM5 we'll have to wait as long as we did to get all the mods for EM4 we have today, but for EM5.

Hey Everyone, I'm sorry to say that I will be stopping work on this Sub-Mod. Zach1019 and myself are starting to work on a mod together that will announced within the next couple of days and I will be devoting all of my resources to helping him with that. That being said, I am releasing the Mod to anyone who wants to work on it. Disregard all of the conditions in the Read Me just make sure you give credit to the model authors as I have done. The only thing you AREN'T allowed to do is re-use my skins in another one of your mods without getting my permission first. The sub-mod is practically done there are just minor bugs and lighting isn't finished except for the ambulance. I appreciate all the support I've gotten all this and hope I'll get the same support for the mod Zach and I will be making. If anyone would like to complete lighting and edit the map and then re-release it, that's totally fine by me. However, you may NOT edit the skins without getting my permission. Best, Phil https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bycw1dhHKFreSkpqQjBsVmJWaEU/view?usp=sharing

As previously posted all beta spots are filled. Please do not clog the thread with this.

Hey everyone, ambulance lighting is finished, the video is below! I'm aware there are a few light issues, but rest assured they will be fixed before release. Enjoy!

Hey everyone! Sorry for the lack of updates, I've been extraordinarily busy with school work and extra-curriculars but rest assured this mod is still in progress and has not been forgotten. I'm just now getting into lighting and my two beta testers are fiddling around with the game to see what needs to be fixed. I'm hoping to have a releasable version in 2-3 weeks but no guarantees. The ambulance lights should be finished up tonight and I'll try to get a video posted along with some screenshots of new units. Thanks for all the support and feedback guys, it means a lot!

Here's me, greetings from Louisiana! LSP Tactical Unit: LSP Bearcat: My local PD's SRT:

Not enough mods yet.

Thanks! Update: I've got all units finished for the Beta release, I just have to do lighting. I'll be giving out a Pre-Beta shortly to my testers with just the units. However, one hold back I've got right now is scripting. I'm going to have to fiddle with spawn point and fire station start up scripts so that it loads the vehicles I've put in properly however I'm hoping that won't take too long. I've got a good bit of experience editing scripts between EM4 and GTA: SA so I think I should get it but I'd appreciate it if somebody with a lot of EM4 scripting experience could chime in. The game has been crashing when I load the freeplay mode so I removed the LAFireStationStart script and then it would load but once I called in a unit it would crash. I'm hoping somebody can help figure that out with me, if not I'm sure I'll get it no worries. Just thought I'd let y'all know what's going on with the mod. I'll have some screen shots up later tonight. Thanks for all y'alls support!! This issue with scripting has been resolved. As soon as lighting and testing is complete I'll have a releasable Beta! Stay tuned!

Beta spots have been filled!

I'm looking for 2 Beta testers. If interested please PM me.

Another update! I just made the first EBRSO vehicle which is the transport van. All vans for any purpose (unless it's for SWAT) at the EBRSO don't have lightbars and instead have little hideaways like Whelen M2's and M7's so that's what I did with this. This will probably be the last update for the weekend because I'm going to visit my dad. I might have something out Sunday, but no promises. Thank y'all for your support! Please give me feedback on the van! Update @ 9:09 - I lied, I finished the EBRSO Crown Vic on the plane. Pics are below! Update @ 9:58 - I'm now on a binge of modding so I made the EBR EMS Supervisor Suburban. Pics are below!

Aboslutely, just knocking out all of the vehicle work first!

Alas, another update has arrived! This time we've got Engine 2 (sorry for the low quality texture), HAZMAT 8, and I decided to add the Wildlife Agent truck into the mix of PD units for a little mixup. Lemme know what y'all think! Added @ 10:50 - In game shot of a structure fire. I called three engines, not a ladder because that unit isn't finished yet so I didn't want to include it in the shot.

Thanks!

Update! Sorry for the lack of these guys, I've been super busy with school and extra-curriculars as I'm sure y'all are as well. Anyways, I've got the EBR EMS skin made and the BRFD Rescue skin made. The ambulance is a fictional Ford F-550 (model by Itchboy) and the rescue is a fictional Dodge 3500 Rapid Response (model by Cops). Please give me feedback on these skins. Please note there are several issues with them that I am aware of and will fix for the release but I just wanted to give a progress update before any more interest was lost on this sub-mod. Also just for future purposes so that I don't get any hate on this, I'll be making vehicles that I like not necessarily ones that are used in real life. While this may not be the most realistic route, it allows for me to be creative and really make this mod my own.

For the first release it'll be full staff. BRFD is full staff in real life. The closest thing we have is East Side Fire Department which serves within East Baton Rouge Parish but they have 13 career fire fighters and 14 volunteers. In future releases I'd like to add an additional station that would incorporate the volunteer script and their apparatus but I'd have to fiddle around with some scripts and get permission from the script creators, etc.

Thanks! Always happy to hear feedback!

Will do, sorry about that I was unaware I had to merge updates.

Please see the above post for all the updates.

Update #1: Baton Rouge PD Crown Victoria Update #2: Louisiana State Police Tahoe Update #3: LSP Taurus Update #4: BRFD Engine 1 What's in Progress (Last Updated 02-27-15): -Skin for EBR EMS Supervisor Tahoe -Skin for BRFD Chief Tahoe -Skins for BRPD Charger, Tahoe, and Impala -Skins for EBRSO Tahoe, Crown Vic, and Impala -BRFD Seagrave Ladder -Map Edits -Lighting for various units What's Complete (Last Updated 2-27-15): -Skins for majority of BRFD units

This sub-mod will be based off of the capital of Louisiana often times referred to as the "Capitol Area". Units included in this sub-mod will be from the BRFD, BREMS, BRPD, EBRSO, and LSP. Some of you may recognize my username from other posts about New Orleans sub-mods and they always end up shutting down. This one is guaranteed to not do that! My English teacher is letting us do anything, literally anything for a project so I figured getting a project grade on something like this is just the motivation I need to complete it. I will post pictures, videos, and other tid-bits as the sub-mod comes along. As for now this will remain private but once in Beta I will move for permission to make a public release.

Hey Everyone, So just a quick update here...the majority of PD skins are finished and EMS units are close. I haven't posted any photos or videos over the last week because of a busy schedule. That being said, I'm free this weekend so you can expect a lot of updates this weekend, primarily on Sunday. Thank you all very much for your support!

Yup, I think they're more of a super dark navy blue, but I was going to do a few...screens should be up tomorrow evening and I think it'll be those.
