Im glad the admin finally stepped in and shut this mod down. I downloaded it and played it for 10 minutes and realized it was someone elses map and itchboys vehicles added to the game and bam it was called 3.0 but I was not going to call someone out on the fact and get banned for causing trouble by the admins.

Yeap why report something that is wrong and help anyone out, instead talk of how we finally stepped in when someone else reported it where you opted to not do so. Your whole statement is a trip. "calling someone out" does not apply when reporting something that is a violation, you've been around long enough you'd know that.

So because my name was mentioned and to avoid any fallout from this:
Listen, this isnt about who has the better mod. Absolutely not.
This is about you not crediting us, me and those people that I mentioned and Xplorer4x4. It doesnt matter I have better vehicles or whatever. It doesnt matter that your mod has YouTube videos or a cult following or whatever.
Its the fact that you failed to credit us, and thus leading your audience to assume that you created all of this by yourself, when that is not the case.
I was alerted to the lack of a readme for my vehicles (as per our agreement) and you also did not include the readme for the LA police upgrade mod.
When you asked to use my LA vehicles, I didnt know you'd use them to create your own LA Mod. While I am fine with you doing it, I was irked by the fact that your credits were often vague and made the end user assume you made everything. See those YouTube videos of TheNorthernAlex, AceAlphlax, Patar1441 and WildcatsMike.
Your mod is the first search result for "emergency 4". Its a coveted position that earns thousands of views. Now wouldn't it have been easy to at least clarify that not all content was yours and then relay it to the YouTube presenters so that the work of CFD, Goog, Me, Xplorer and others could be recognized?
In your excitement to release a mod, you forgot these documentations. Had you simply included these files, your mod would be not in trouble.
I did not go out of my way to shut your mod down. Neither did Xplorer4x4. None of us did. We only did what I felt was right and took ownership for the many things that we owned in your mod.
I gave you an alternate solution. You could continue your mod, but without my vehicles and Xplorer's scripts and map. It would be easy for you to do that. By your own you have a map you can use thats unique. You could start from there. But it is your choice and only yours to cancel the mod. At the end of the day, it is your mod and your decisions into what you do or put into it.
Good luck with your future modding endeavors.
To everyone else. Just dont forget to credit people upon release of your mods. WIP's here need to be credited, though not as prudently as an actual release.

There's nothing wrong with reporting wrongdoing. All you needed was proof that there was no documentation and then you could have taken it to a mod. This guy didnt get banned or anything, so there is no harm in doing what you feel is right. You just need to be 100% sure that you have a valid reason when you hit that report button or send a message to MikeyPI or NFK.

Sorry guys, i've been a noob and just lighted and skinned things that others made. Mod is taken down but since itchboy has just the much much better version of a la mod recreation, you won't miss the mod.
THESE ARE THE REASONS

I know i made a mistake. But that is very poor. Not saying anything before and now you don´t just say you´ve noticed missing credits, NO you insult me and try to make me look like a bad thief and stupid idiot. YOU should just reported it and everything is okay. And if you not noticed almost 80% of the vehicles have been completly relighted, also i was working on a complete new map.

And yes, it is ME who cancelled the mod. I may do the map and make if avaible as a submod, no vehicles included. Also i didn´t want to say that anyone of you guys is the reason this mod got taken down. IT IS MY FAULT!!!!! Im german so some posts may sound like i try to say the original creators wanted to cancell it. Also i just use Youtube to show what the lighting looks like, a video is much better then pictures. It is/was not my intention and i absolutly didn´t want to show off with others content. I forgot to credit them properly out of excitment. Maybe i also should have taken more time to do everything properly and credit everyone. But, guys, why don´t you use itchboys recreation of the LA Mod vehicles? Its a very good alternative and im sure you won´t miss anything which is in my mod. Im not stopping to mod, no, this teached me how to NOT do it.
Thanks you guys for you support once again, this is my last post here.
