It's been going really slow, and right now it's completely halted. The computer with Emergency 4 installed on it has now suffered some failure of some sort. I haven't yet discovered the cause of the problem, but I believe it may be a video card or motherboard issue - possibly with drivers.

You see, when running Windows, the computer is flung straight into a 0x0000007E STOP BSoD. Ubuntu doesn't seem to want to run off the disc either, but the memory tests report that the memory is perfectly fine.

I recently ordered a 24" widescreen for my other computer (the one I am on now, which is quite alot faster anyway), however, and I may well just start remaking the mod from scratch when it arrives, as I feel that the old one wasn't really up to my current standards. Unfortunately, because of my busy schedule of real life as well as another project which I am currently developing for GTA:IV, I cannot guarantee that this will mean steady progress. This busy schedule also means that I have had to order the monitor to be delivered this Saturday, when I will hopefully be at home ready to sign it and whatnot.

Until then, consider this mod paused, as this current computer's 13" is unbearable for modelling, especially with the latest (unstable) Blender version.

They're not 'undercover', they're normally Ambulance Officers or cars for RRVs that have been kitted out basically so they can be sold quickly after use.

The OC-D



Possibly a Basics doctor?

hey guys,

i was jogging around local area recently, and i saw.....

You know thoose german ambulances that are low at the front and high at the back? i saw one of thoose with WMAS Markings on them at Halesowen Ambulance Station;

I saw an Airport Fire engine, with WMFS Markings on in Old Hill/Cradley Heath

I saw a strange looking Purgeot (is that spelt right, cant remeber, you know what i mean), WMP Police Car, with LED Lights all over



I dont know wtf is happening but we have very odd looking Emergency Vehicles in west midlands at the moment, i also saw when in mery hill a new ambulance, a bit like movano but its design was more.....larger should i say

There's a white (unmarked) Volvo V70 with clearly visible LED lights in-front of the grille, on the front bumper and on the dash, any ideas as to what that might be? I doubt its a police car, they put theirs behind the grille.

But it has no markings whatsoever and is always parked on that road, so it seems like someone's private vehicle..

As I replied to BARC a little while ago its probably an Ambulance Officer, they can take their cars home and have blues and twos equipped. They are used at slightly larger incidents or as an RRV when no medics available quickly. Alternatively, it could be somthign completely different like SJA or Bomb Disposal

This mod has not died.

But it seems that the owner has atm other stuff to work/worry on.

Be patient, it will still come.
