    Events and accidents are not setup using code or script. You need to go into the editor, then enter the freeplay map and add incidents there.

    The link in the DL center does not work. All of files in EmP's download center that are greater than 1 gigabyte in filesize do not work. For any authors uploading files, be sure to 'split' the files and archives of the uploads so that they are under 1gb.

    No IDE exists for Em4. To edit code, you can only use notepad, or any other basic text editor. Documentation is here, but it is in German language. http://www.emergency-wiki.de/de:emergency:emergency_4:scripting:sdk Em4 scripting is C++ I believe. You can create classes, strutcs and new variables in any of the codes, as long as you can get it right. Scripts arent really 'attached' to persons. In the Em4 editor, you can assign commands (contained within the .script file) to a specific playable unit.

    While I do appreciate the fact-finding, I do not want this to be a witch hunt either. For now, there is no issue with anything until OP decides to release or give out content, upon which we as admins are obligated to check the content. If it comes to that point, we will gladly investigate everything and contact the relevant content owners.

    A standard, fixed-pattern amber facing traffic advisor would be flash freq of between 2.5 and 2, and would have an intensity of .85. As stated, use yellow coronas and whitish polygons to get the color right. The important thing is the ' flash offset' though. If you want center-out, then you have 1 for the outside, 0 for the inside. Left to right (and vice versa) starts at any number, but no higher than 2.0 for the first light, and you divide it by the number of 'segments' of the light until you reach zero. So a 6 light traffic advisor will be divided by six. Really custom traffic advisor patterns like the ones that are random arent really possible to do in Em4, but you can try it.

    Yeah just looked at that clearly says 'Copenhagen airport'. To OP: All of the mods and credits and permissions will need to be sorted. If BMA (or the german model authors) request their content be removed, I will enforce that.

    I dont think his mod is based off CPH. It was around long before CPH was ever released, so I doubt he would have access to the files before release. To the topic owner, please add credits to all of the WIP shots you post for the single vehicles. The pic of that crashtender and fire engine skin needs to have credits on it, along with ingame shots and model previews. I also dont recommend posting social media or email on this forum, due to the amount of spambots it may attract.

    You need to edit the dog and entercar scripts to accomodate the prototypes for the k9 vehicle, the k9 officer, and the k9 itself. This is how it goes with all code you port from one mod to another. There needs to be a lotta work done before it can be set to work. If done right, its possible to have multiple dog handler and dog variants, and multiple vehicle variants to work along with that.

    Have you confirmed the missing body portion has the right material? You can check its properties and confirm. You can 'reset' the UV mapper by switching to another view and returning back to the UV mapper to start with a clean slate.
  11. itchboy
    It seems that the 'door' portion of the model has been disabled, and therefore wont show up. Check that all of the model is assigned to the material you are trying to UV map to. Hoppah has his own tutorial which covers the materials section (which is required reading before my tutorial btw).
  12. itchboy
    May be caused by a duplicate of the tofirestation script being present in the mod folder. Another issue could be the 'groupID' the script is set to be in, and how that groupID is 'hidden' from the GUI by another interfering script.
  13. itchboy
    Probably the Emergency-forum.de forums. They have some really trick stuff there. An alternative option is to use Zmod (or any model software of choice) to scale down the model. Be sure to scale down all of the doors and wheels to the exact same amount as the main vehicle model.
  14. itchboy
    In his post, he is asking whether any present-day Swedish police units use the older paint schemes.
  15. itchboy
    Mike uses Zmodeler 1. Uses a similar system as Z2, cept Z2's is a lot buggier and lacks some features you may need in certain specific situations. Tbh, your best bet is to use Zmodeler 2, despite its many flaws. You are already familiar and comfortable using it, so it would be a waste of time trying to relearn all the minor details again. Ive been using Zm2 just fine now for 3 years. Everyone has preferences. Someone who uses Blender will have a negative opinion of all Zmodeler versions, while someone used to 3dsmax would not be comfortable using anything else. Choose the one you are most comfortable in and stick with it.

    Just a reminder to stay on topic. Ive hidden your posts. If you wish to discuss any other mods, do it via PM, or post about your new project in the modding concepts page. If you have any discussion about other games not related to the EM series, do it in the off-topic section please.
  17. itchboy
    First off, the relevant police vehicles need to have their traits edited so they have the 'flashgrenade' and 'roablock' in them. Hoppah's weapon cmd's rely on this. Second major step is editing the checkTarget section so it accomodates the prototypes of the specific vehicles you want to have the weapons on.
  18. itchboy
    Something to do with the zeros and ones in the material line. Another major thing to consider. Did you export the object with the correct name? If the object is named 'car_body' in Zm2, then it must be exported as car_body.v3o. Check the v3o file if it comes up as blank. If it does, then Zm2 has failed to export your model bc of the filename being incorrect.
  19. itchboy
    I believe the servers for Em2012, 13 and 14 were shut down, so MP is no longer usable.
  20. itchboy
    Check if anything was corrupted in the export process. Restarting the mod/game may work. Editing the v3o files manually via notepad also has the effect of breaking things. A simple re-export from Zm2 should fix it. Even then, if something in the materials is glitched, Id advise fixing that as well. Multi materials doesnt break the game at all.
  21. itchboy
    Go to Surface ->Normals->Calculate and make sure you are in either polygon or vertice mode.
  22. itchboy
    Nice work. The only concern Ive got with it now is that the transition from side to front is too sharp. You gotta curve it a bit, because the real thing isnt a box with sharp edges. Mike will be on later to give more details that I may have missed.
  23. itchboy
    Id also like to add MikeyPI to the list, for that cerulian Skoda wagon thats stuck in a hole, up in the previous pic post.
  24. itchboy
    Topic moved to main EU modding section for visibility. Mod has been released anyway so it doesnt belong in Conceptual anymore.
  25. itchboy
    Ive tried downloading the mod, but it unfortunately times out at around 40% all the time. My ISP is fine and my connection works fine elsewhere. Hopefully you can put up additional mirrors in the future.
