ok bama tought me how to do it so i'll help you return the favor. What you do is go into the editor and load the la mod. Next under the modifications tab second from the bottem is unpack click it. now go under models and select a type of object which in the ambulances case would be under veichels- LA Ambulance. Find the name of the file like ambulance 1 is the amr and so on. Now each unit will have the name of the unit then .v3o. Make sure it says the unit name and not door ao weel. Go to the text bar at the bottem and change the ending from .v30 to .dds Once you do this go into dds converter convert it to bmp and load it into paint.

Hope this helps,

Sorry, the way he said it at the end was just a little confusing. Just close out the editor after unpacking the files. Go to the unpacked file and just right-click and rename to .dds. Then convert to JPEG/BMP/whatever

ok, But where do the unpacked files go? or where do I rename them?

The files are wherever you left them. If you didnt move them from the EM4 directory they're still there, except they're unpacked. Rename them to .DDS

Ok thanks, I just got it in paint, but now it shows all angles including the inside(seats steering wheel for example), Is that normal?

Just leave the inside alone and edit the ooutside. I dunno if its possible to only do one side, but i doubt it or other would only do one side.

The Sub Mod looks times good. Perhaps in emergency forum.de gives it a Impala to the download can their that use.

Ok sounds good, but is there any way to zoom in, or how do you guys change the color in paint, To me it seems hard to reskin in that small place.


and nice bama, the sub mod is looking really good

^you have to help us to help you. What program are you using?

[Batt62]

^you have to help us to help you. What program are you using?

right now i'm using microsoft paint, that is the program you use right?

[Xplorer4x4]

No I use Adobe Photoshop 7. Its like a 3 or 4 year old version of Photoshop.You can find it buy searching google for Adobe Photoshop 7. It will run like $70 USD or so. The newer versions, Adobe Photoshop CS4, cost like $600 or $700 USD so dont even consider it. You may find it cheaper through online retail stores but your still going to pay an arm and a leg. Gimp, however, is free and pretty powerful. You can get gimp here: http://www.gimp.org/

As for paint and zooming, there is a magnifying glass. Click it. Then click the are you want to zoom in.

Sweet, thanks I will look into it, which program do you think I should use, paint or gimp?

[Xplorer4x4]

I cant say for sure as I havent used gimp in ages but gimp is more powerful so I would atleast give it a try. I mean it is free after all, so if you dont like it, just remove it. No harm done.

ok thanks, so I have one more problem, So i got a skin in mircosoft paint, but how do I put it back in the game? and when I went into the la fire department folder, went under vehicles, then I saw the skin I took out with .v30( Or something like that) while I still had the modified file on my desktop

You must replace the old texture with the new one, in the FD Directory. If you moved the old one, you must place the new one into the directory with the same name as the old file. And it is DDS not v3o.
