Well, I'm going to take the plunge and announce officially my attempt at a mod. This is mostly a reskin of LA Mod, but I'm hoping to change the vehicles spawned and if I do this right, changing out a few models along the way also.

FIRST - THANKS TO HOPPAH and EM4Life. Thanks for letting me use your original stuff as the starting point for my mod. I have some ideas for where I want to go, so I may need to get some other permissions down the line, and I will be only to happy to credit where credit is due. If I accidentally use something you created and I didn't ask for permission, PLEASE let me know and I'll happily either remove it or give credit (whichever you choose). As of now, I'm only reskinning the LA Mod, with EM4Life's light mod as my starting point, so for now I'm pretty sure I'm safe.

Hometown, USA will be a Wisconsin based mod just because I need to pick a state for the state police, and since I live here, it's what I know. :)

Here are some of the units I've reskinned so far.

Most of the vehicles you probably recognize. The Red Cross Hummer, I'm retasking as a EMS Special Response Unit, and added Jaws and Chainsaw to the equipment. Idea is this is sent along to Mass Casualty incidents as support Paramedics to help with Triage and Rescue operations.

This is just a start. Along the way I may need some help as my scripting experience is NON-EXISTENT, but with the support the members here have shown, I know I'll get some advice to help when I get stuck!

Thanks for looking!

I really like the green you've gone with on the EMS, it's a nice change from red or white! Looking forward to your next works!

Small update on units. I'm working a little more now, so not getting reskins done as much as I'd like, but still making progress.

First, the Rollback flatbed truck

And finally Wisconsin State Patrol with reskinned Trooper

Working on fire units now again. I jump back and forth, no pattern to my skinning, just whatever unit I feel like at the time!

Quite nice, especially for a first attempt. Is the fire department going to be volunteer or career?

Also Supporting: RCMP mod, Stillwater mod, Lampard mod, Ravenna sub-mod,  Rockport mod.

Career. I have literally NO scripting experience, so setting up as a volunteer is beyond my abilities (for now at least).

Thanks all for the words of encouragement! They really mean a lot!

Here's a few more units I've finished.

First - Engine 2

Squad 1 - note the Remember 9/11 logo and the slogan on the side: Picture from the movie Backdraft of Kurt Russel carrying the little kid out of the fire, next to it says "We go into the jaws of Death to bring you back from the mouth of Hell" - a modified quote from the poem "Charge of the Light Brigade" by Alfred, Lord Tennyson.

WI Dept. of Natural Resources (DNR) Wildland Fire Engine (Modified from the USFS in LA Mod)

And finally, my HazMat 1 - LOVE the logo

Still have to figure out why my reskin of the LAPD Crown Vic w/lightbar has a problem with the skin on the passenger door (the child that opens, but I have a theory to test on that). Once I get that finished, I'll have more to show you.

Thanks for noticing that Fred03. When I was a volunteer fire fighter, we used to do some training with the DNR in case we had a bad forest fire up there.
