Yes. Unfortunately my computer has been having some issues and I have a life outside EM5 (who doesn't?) so progress has been slow on the Chicago mod. It's still being worked on, so is the Dutch Mod, just that I haven't had time recently. But in a few weeks, I'll have some time to spare and will work as much as possible, if my modding computer works again. And in a few months, I'm taking an at- home vacation, and I'll have a bit more time then.

Where did that lightbar on the police taurus come from? I've been looking for a clear lightbar for a while now. NVM: I found what I think is the same taurus, and the same lightbar, in the Mayberry Modification.

Thanks for the acknowledgement!

Like Matt said, check to see if the fp_params are in the right place. Specifically, they MUST be in the mod that you are using, not the EM4 folder. Mods override the EM4 folder. However, this will make it applicable to only the mod you put the file in. If you want it for all mods, delete the fp_params file for each mod and keep the fp_params you want in the EM4 folder. Then there will be nothing to override the fp_params you want. WARNING: If you aren't careful you could mess something up and make freeplay unplayable. Make sure your fp_params are in exactly the place you want it.

So I am taking a hiatus from modding... sorry. Mostly it's my computer, it's been acting up a lot and overheating inexplicably to the point where I just can't do anything EM5- related, which means I can't continue to test out any new features with the Dutch Mod, or Chicago Mod. Also I am taking a six week vacation in June when I will not be able to do anything EM5- related. The computer overheat is basically just slowing down my computer but not enough so it shuts down. So it's impacting higher performance games like EM5. Although my hiatus is indefinite, I'm not completely abandoning the Emergency series, including EM5. I'll still be active on Emergency Planet including EM5 modding subsection, and I am working on a few (likely private, but maybe public) mods for Emergency 4/ 911 FR. So you'll still see me around, maybe even still uploading content for 4, just not content for 5. And guess what those mods for EM4 are? (HInt: They may or may not be the same ones I was working on for EM5. Ahem ahem Dutch, ahem ahem Chicago.) Sorry in advance for any inconveniences caused by this hiatus, which trust me, neither you nor me likes.

No offence taken. I like to think of it as Killer does the hard work (scripting), William does the skinning, and I just provide ideas, mash it all together and make it look good.

Too amazing. Awesome!

I agree. Keep on rocking Will! (You can take your time perfecting the CPD cruiser. I'm having issues with cooling and it's really affecting my testing enviroment.) ^No one saw that!!! (Unless you aren't crazy angry over it.)

I would say get rid of the fire police. They would just roll as part of the fire department. And we can keep the redirection stuff with personnel without the signal disk. So basically have a firefighter/ tech/ police officer "waving" like in vanilla but without a disk, because that's what's done in real life US (at least in my experience and shows) We could detect if it was night and have the waving person pull out a signal stick instead.

I am awed. Keep up the good work! I think what we could do is we can set the rifle to be obtainable by normal officers, from the trunk. That way we have a reason for having the texture in the trunk.

Nice. Keep up the good work!

I'll take one thing off your hands and find some siren files for you.

Okay, sorry about that, I assumed you had it working already. I suggest using the tape placing script (tweaked) to place it down as you don't need to go through the process of making a new script for placing objects.

I Say "DERP!" when it comes to the traffic cones <- Online American Fad That Makes Me Laugh Every Time Cool though, will say that. Awesome! How do they work? Are they like the police tape in the unmodded game (without the textures and stuff) or do they use new scripting?

I ment as in tools of my own. Not like models. And I didn't mention EM5 with resources.

Before I moved on to EM5 I thought of doing a LS, LC, or VC mod, but I just didn't have any resources especially models, nor experience. I look forward to this mod. Hope it goes well for you!

Nice! I see you've appointed yourself the Chicago Mod skinner and modeller (no problem with that, less trouble for me and my messed- up skinning skills.) Ben Approved.

Ahem. : ) Yes, I am aware that the CVPI is off a bit, but I'm sure William will be able to fix it, and take care of the lightbar issue (I thought it was a child model though). And if not, which I doubt, I can always use a different model.

How hard is it to change light colors in the EM5 Editor? Because if you make blue and red, I'll need to change it to all blues and an LED light bar for Chicago.

Will this be usable for modders? It would be nice to get this in a mod such as the Dutch Mod or my Chicago Mod that I'm working on.

Unfortunately neither of those are happening any time soon, I'm working on a Chicago Mod as we speak though.

You'd have to find out where the components the error is referring to are, then see if they are broken somehow, but I don't know anything further. I've never had this problem before...

I think something is corrupted or missing from your files. Ensure you have all the files. Not sure though.

Yes, try opening with admin. That usually solves these types of problems.
