AVFDMLH7 Posted May 3, 2014 Report Share Posted May 3, 2014 Hello everybody, I was just wondering Which programs do I need to start making a mod for emergency 4/ 911 first responders ?. I'm very new to this and I'm thinking about making a mod based off the county I live in. It would be the Anne Arundel County MD / Annapolis City mod. The mod would have my fire station in it which is Earleigh heights VFC as one of the stations. Thank you for your time Morgan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bma Posted May 3, 2014 Report Share Posted May 3, 2014 Well. Short version is, you need: - Emergency 4 editor, it comes with the game - Some kind of 3D program to creat 3D models(z-modeler, google sketchup ect) - Some texture editing program(photoshop, paint, ect) - a scripting program (notepat works just fine, but else use notepad ++) But it will not be easy just to create a mod Try looking at some of the tutorials on this page Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nbrown8568 Posted May 4, 2014 Report Share Posted May 4, 2014 I'm right up the road from you. My desire is to do a Baltimore Mod. Trying to do reskins with Gimp, not having any luck just yet. Getting vehicles into the mod, adding VO's to the map. Have to use current maps though. Norm, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoppah Posted May 25, 2014 Report Share Posted May 25, 2014 Well.

Zmod 2 or 3 are actually required to export files to the compatible game format, v3o. There's no other 3d software that can export to .v3o, which makes them optional. It's an important difference before people purchase the wrong software. Depending on your preferences you can always go for other 3d-software later. However, be aware of possible conversion issues between alternative software and Zmod 2 or 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nbrown8568 Posted May 31, 2014 Report Share Posted May 31, 2014 I am now finding out that paint which is found in Windows already, is great for changing colors. I then go to Gimp to place vehicle markings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
