Changing berlin vehicles to US vehicles

[kado11]

does anyone know how to change the berlin mod vehicles to US vehicles? ive been tryin but i cant figure it out.

the easiest way is to just replace the current modelfiles and keep the prototypes!

make a list first of which truck should be replaced by a new model.

i don't know if it works for berlin mod but this is how you could try.

create a new folder under (example fire dept) mods/ers berlin/models/vehicles/

name it "us fd trucks" for example. so you got:

mods/ers berlin/models/vehicles/us fd trucks

then copy the v3o's (modelfiles of your new vehicles) into this folder.

open up the editor and load up ers berlin.

open the "scene" dialogue and search and select the truck you wanna replace.

klick on "edit" and search the line where you can choose the modelfile.

klick "browse" and search your new folder "us fd trucks".

select the new v3o and confirm your changes by klicking "ok".

that's basically the way how to do it....

BUT

you'll have to do this for every truck, door, wheel, child etc.

then adjust the childs, adjust the lights and maybe you'll have to add sone models with creating a new proto (new truck has more doors than the one you replace for example)

so be careful and always secure original files!!

ok thanks for the help i will try that. i was changing the models and prototypes.

so i got the body. but how do i go about the doors? where do i find them? do i have to add them in the childs? cuz in the childs there is only prototypes.

^{nevermind i figured out how to do the doors. how do i move them up or around?}

[rettungstier]

same thing for doors!

most people add them under objects/vehiclechilds doors in the editor.

to move a child up or down hold down ALT key while moving the mouse (holding left mousebutton too)

easy to remember ALTitude
