Okay, that is useful information. I apreciate the links, and I'll try to correct as much as I can- as to getting the models into paint, well, how I do it is somewhere earlier in this forum, but I basically unpack the files in the editor. By the way I had no idea that truck 24 was under battalion 7, just a lucky guess.

Ill have hoppahs ambulance in the editor and i want to paint it. could you may be give me a little bit more instructions

[jab16]

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,

The NYPD ESU Truck is currently "in-development" which means I am still working on it. Lol But I will post other pics soon- I changed the loading screen and the fire departmen building's logo.

This is the converter and it will covnert to jpeg or other image formats which you can then use in paint.

[Paramedic_Engine_2]

Ok now how to you put it back into the mod.

[Paramedic_Engine_2]

How about you skin one of the engines to look like a squad, like 252.

If you guys need any help just PM me, and I'll help you out.

[Xplorer4x4]

^great work. I really like the white engine.

Ok now how to you put it back into the mod.

Well convert it back to DDS(using the converter if i recall) then replace your new dds file with the old dds file.

[jab16]

yes you go into dds converter and change it back form .bmp or whatever you changed it to back to .dds then open up the editor or game and there you go. by the way the skin will replase all of the origional skins so don't worry about placing them on the map. Please feel free to PM me if you have any problems.

[bama1234]

Thank you bama SO much for helping me out. I finnally figured out how to do it and heres how Engine 7 turned into Engine 33! And Engine 88 into Engine 78! Bu ti still havent figured out how to paint the front and the back of the engine yet.

Kentland Engine 33:

GREAT JOB. I'm very impressed- and to paint the front and back there should be "fire_engine_1_2". That is the front and back of the truck

very nice, can you clone one side, so you dont have to paint it again?

[station9emt/firefighter]

i must say you have done a wonderful job. are you going to add new light bars and add the lightbar to Battalion 7? the rear one?

[Paramedic_Engine_2]

I have a big problem, I was fooling around with the editor and I changed the screen resolution. I could not change it back because i was zoomed in too far, so i closed the editor and tried to reopen it. It went to a black screen for about a second and then closed the program. I tried to lanch the game but I had no luck. Now I cant even use the game. If anyone knows how to fix this issue, please help me.

Also I use 911 FR digit copy so I cant just reinstall it, I would have to pay $20 more dollars!

Ok, I had this problem. You CAN Re-install it, the "setup.exe" should be wherever you downloaded it to. I.E. "...\Downloads\911 FR". I know you can do this because, trust me, I've had to do it before. Alot. It should work after re-install.
