Just played V2. Where do I start.... the map has less "eye candy" but is cleaner and way easy to navigate than V1. The traffic flow is perfect, the wider roads make attending calls much simpler. The additional EMS units are great, and the changed script that allows one medic to grab the stretcher is much more realistic. The lighting is simply amazing, the ground effects look real and I'm a big fan of the new blue lights on the NYFD trucks. As mentioned before, some of the NYPD SUVs are missing lighting features and Ladder 13th couldn't park at the station. Those are the only bugs I've found so far.

Overall I think you guys did an amazing job! I can't wait to really immerse myself in the game and experience all the improvements.

One word of warning, double check the installation path. My EM4 is in a completely different folder than what the exe program defaults too.

Great job!

Ladder 13 parks sometimes other times it reuses to go in lol

In regards to the money issue, there are a thousand, if not more free alternatives. Stan can afford premium hosting, premium forums and all that via ad revenues. IF you can't, you have to base your community off of free grounds. I'm not straying either way on the line, so I'll give two possible alternatives for free:

Stay here, and base your operations here. We are the largest English community for this stuff, so you've got eyes on you for there. People also don't like having to sign up to multiple sites, I know I don't. Ask for either a subforum, or make two or three topics. We can create rules in the system here, say for example that there is a topic that only members of a certain usergroup can post in, and that could be solely for updates on the mod, or you could do as others do, and use the first page for stuff like that. Contact myself or Voodoo and we'll give the topic author a page of just his posts to edit and use as he needs. The creation of a support thread also allows for issues to be handled quickly. Realistically, everything can be in two or three forums. Emails can be done through millions of free hosts, and all that stuff. These topics can really be organized neatly if you ask nicely! Don't forget, facebook and hotmail are free, and everyone can keep up on one if not both of them.

Second alternative is free forum hosting. I recommend this because a lot of them will offer portals, so you can basically fill it with all kinds of stuff, kinda like we have here on EmP now. This takes care of a lot of the communication side of things. You'll still need to look elsewhere for an email and all that, but c'est la vie.

Now, if you still wanna have that kinda official look, domain names are dirt cheap. I think .com's are going for like 2 bucks now. You can buy one, it'll come with some basic stuff usually, like email redirect and all that, so you can make an email like admin@manhattanmod.com and it'll redirect to manhattanmod@hotmail.com for example. You can also set up the .com to go to what you want as your homepage, which might be this topic's first page with all the organization or whatever you see fit.

There are thousands of free options, and I don't think it should become to a point where you're basically begging for money, as people don't like that. Notice how they walk away from hobos?

I know I'm adding to the endless spam in this post, but just wanted to say V2 is sweeeeeet! Runs so much smoother and cleaner. Love the new equipment and the paramedic/stretcher script too. Thanks guys for V2, excellent stuff.

You have to rescue any victims also, you might of had casualties, and sometimes you have to tow burnt cars away I think.

Oh so I have downloaded the mod but whenever I load either free play mode it crashes! Anyone know how to fix that?

[fire explorer]

Hey all,

I tried installing mod.. manually of course... and every time i've done it (twice so far) I play the game and there is a bunch of missing protoypes boxes (on the buildings) and the engines wont turn on their sirens or anything...

Is there a proper way to install it? I feel like thats the problem

Check!

This version looks great, but crashes after loading Freeplay...

[gunswat]

There is ment to be another version coming out with people with lower computer specs.

Perhaps you should try installing it via the installation program. Make sure the installation program defaults to the correct location/path.

[gunswat]

It parks there for me

[rafaelmfernandez]

CPC 13 is supposed to park on the side walk outside and hazmat 44 behind e44 in the firehouse

[Krisyyz]

How many parking spots are at the NYPD precinct ? I can only park 1 car there, the rest go but the they can't park properly, the "returning to base" audio just keeps looping.

[Fred03]

Game crashes when I try to load the first mission. Also free-play is so laggy. The game (from what i saw of it) looks great though.

Remove some of your other mods, that worked for me.
