Will Emergency 2013 be added on here so we can start discussing it like the other versions?

Will any mods work with it??

[Newfoundking]

Emergency 2013, as stated earlier is similar to an expansion pack for 2012. Therefore it will not be moddable.

[Newfoundking]

Considering that this game is just a modified Emergency 4, it can be made to be windowed the same way Emergency 4 can. As for the multi-monitor thing, that's probably your problem, not the game's. I have three monitors and I have never had any problem, especially with this game, in getting it started on whatever monitor I so wish

Hoppah I could really use a Boston Mod..just saying

No modding for EM2013, plus, Hoppah's not sure if he's returning to modding. Maybe he'll port the LA Mod to EM5.

[Fred03]

Its a shame Hoppah retired from modding but their are still some very good modders out their and if EM5 is moddable I am sure they will create some great mods for it.

The interview video in the Off Topic area states that it will be moddable but old mods won't be compatible, which means all the mods need to be remade sadly

[Newfoundking]

All that means is models will need to be ported, lights redone and possibly some tweaks to commands. Not a big deal

Yeah you could do what Newfoundking said or you could still play emergency 4 and the mods for that. Even if I get EM5 I will still play em4 because all of my favorite mods are on there.

[TheCadetForce]

Yeah I'm going to play Em4 till the mods start on EM5 then I will just switch over

[JoelJoshi]

am i the only one that think it would be cool to play on different maps, that have different mission styles?


for example;

you'd have your standard city, that houses standard missions (House fire, Robbers, Food poisoning, etc.)

another map type you could have, is something like an airport, where you can use Crashtenders, and heavy cranes, that house RARE mission types, but are harder to deal with;
for example, the missions could include dealing with a crashed aircraft

it's a big fire, with lots of debris to move, and lots of injuries/corpses to take care of
but also, you have to take care of the problem fast, otherwise, other planes will stay in the skies, and you'll loose points

or you'll have to deal with the hi-jacking of planes by terrorists, where you have to neutralize/ arrest said terrorists without hurting the plane or it's passengers/crew if you can help it

along with some other minor missions, like stolen luggage, disruptions by people, heart attacks caused by anxiety, and things like that

[JDY77]

Or incorporating lots of different areas into one big map

[rafaelmfernandez]

[cops]

Yeah they make absolutely no sense, apparently 'all Michael mike, sticker on these aside of fact the bombs mortars' ... yeah.. haha

[cops]

hahaha lol XD
I thought they also made a good English translation XD

anyway, the big + moment of the conversation are
- They made Emergency 5 moddable
- EM4 mods can't be used for Emergency 5
- Much bigger maps
- Complete new units

[TacticalRooster22]

I figured that the mods wouldn't be usable. It's hard to put in EM3 mod into EM4, so it'll be the same thing. Maybe there will be some new modding stuff, too, like scripts or something...who knows...?

A bigger map would be cool. I feel like I can almost predict the events sometimes in freeplay and it takes my units like 30 seconds to get across the map. Maybe now we will have more realistic response times!

New units...do they mean like entirely new units with new functions...?

Probably both. They said new units but they also said that, although they do not partake actively in Emergency 4 forums, they have seen the mods and they have seen ideas that they never even thought about. So I would think it is safe to say that some ideas that were made in mods ( limited water, patrolling all those other new commands) might be incorporated or have at least given them ideas for Emergency 5.
