Yes I have succeeded in adding custom made vehicles into the game which were made by myself. It was a pain to figure everything out though. Adding vehicles is not that hard. It's harder to make them available as a commandable unit.Have you been able to actually import a custom vehicle made from scratch to em5? That's the main reason why there's no mods yet.

You might consider making a basic tutorial because I know a lot of modders for em4 would consider getting and modding this game if they knew how.
But good luck

I second Dyson. I'd be interested in getting involved if we had instructions on getting models into the game, since the developers don't seem to have provided any.

I understand your concern, that's exactly why I stated in the first paragraph of the page that people shouldn't just choose those cities because they were amazing in EM4. LA and NY are awesome cities of course but I hope everybody will give the other options a chance aswell

I could look into making a tutorial but this would be after the USA Mod is coming along nicely and is up and running. I stopped working on the Dutch Modification so I can focus all my available free time on creating this mod so for now I'm not taking on any side projects. That being said I promiss to help everyone out once I made progress with this modification :-)

Hey Bram,
For me it's a comforting thought to know you are joining the camp of American MOD makers, being familiar with the Dutch MOD you created; however, I think I am entitled to say, on behalf of the Dutch players among us, that it is still feeling like a huge loss for seeing you leaving the Dutch MOD behind...
But now for the good news, as you can see, there are allready people who want to join in into your plans concerning the American MOD as they are asking you for a basic tutorial. Maybe it's something worth to consider...
Asking me for my favorite American city which I would like to see in EM5, looking at the pics of the emergency services of all the cities you suggested, is like asking a child (in the middle of a candy store) to pick its favourite treat. It's really hard, because every city has very neat looking emergency services. Therefor I "simply" choose for Los Angeles for its neat looking ambulances - I can't think of a better reason... However, San Francisco, would also do very well in my opinion...
Anyway, whatever city it is going to be, I'm looking forward to see it all coming together.
Keep in touch!
Cheers,
Robert.
I always think very hard before asking stupid questions...

I would love to see a Vegas mod for EM5 but it could be hard because from what I know is that in EM4 two people made forums and cancelled both because either they didnt have time or because they lost their files but a Las Vegas mod would be cool
Thanks to Max Starmer, Jamnj88, Mindcat, Aether, itchboy, and losangelesi for helping me make my own private mod!

Hey Robert,
Thank you for your kind message as always
San Francisco is indeed a very cool city but I like the police cars a little bit less than the other cities. The star on the door with SFPD isn't nice and sharp in my opinion

Las Vegas is a nice city to implement and right now the number one contender so it might just happen. The only downside with Las Vegas is the identifying mark it has. If you'd want to recreate the city poeple are expecting to see the strip with it's casino's and this is a hell of a lot work to do. The cars and characters are way less time consuming than the buildings are. In short it would take longer to recreate Las Vegas than any other city on the list but it would be pretty amazing to create it.

I do keep an open mind about this but I'm afraid this is not current for people helping out with the forums. I'd like to update the 'newswire' myself. Openings for assistance are also not current for skinning the 3D objects I'm going to make. This is something I will attend to myself as well. Good question though and thank you for taking the time to ask it

Los Angeles will always be a great city to recreate and the Los Angeles modification for Emergency 4 created by Hoppah is a real milestone in the history of the Emergency games. That being said it's getting more and more likely that I will recreate Las Vegas for this modification as it is still the number one contenter in the POLL. I wouldn't mind because Las Vegas is an amazing city to build. Furthermore I think it's good for everyone to come out of their comfort zone and keep an open mind for other cities than we've already seen in the past. The world is as great as it is today because we are inventive and willing to try something new instead of sticking with the old and safe choices

Voted Las Vegas however I would of liked to see a San Francisco one. Maybe one day after this if you continue in America.
Thanks for your vote. As I replied a few posts above, San Francisco is a pretty cool city but I myself don't like the stars on the doors of the police cars. It could look very cool inside the game though... I could add the city to the list but I don't think it's going to make a lot of a difference. I'm closing the POLL tomorrow or monday, if a lot of people are commenting about wanting San Francisco as a mod I will give it a fair chance and put it in the final voting round. In the final round people can only vote for one city instead of multiple cities at once.

Can you provide proof that you are able to convert/make new models for Em5 ?

Too bad Milwaukee is so far down in the votes. I was a Milwaukee Fire Dispatcher for 8 years. Would have loved to see a mod come to life.

Yes actually I can. I'll make a screenshot of a testcar imported into the editor. Will be uploaded tonight or tomorrow. I'm by the way only creating the models myself, nothing is going to be converted. Converting stuff made by others would be very easy to do but other than that it would look pretty bad in Emergency 5. It's way better to create the models as you need to have a high poly and a low poly model to make the cars look nice in EM5. Check back later for the screenshot

A lot of people will be disappointed by the outcome of the votes and a lot of people will be satisfied. It's always very hard to create something everybody will like. I understand your feelings about a Milwaukee modification as it is a part of your life. Who knows, maybe someday it gets created.

What software you using to model? Some pics would be cool. I'd honestly go into Em5 if it would work on my PC and if someone could figure out the model and scripting aspect of modding it.
To save you the effort, I'll give you and only you permission to convert/rework my stuff. You must credit me though. PM for additional details.
