lol the B is for Brush yes...Brush 12 lol...I guess you guys don't have those in canada? or don't call them that...umm, yea those are pictures of my units but aren't the updated ones from tonight...those ones are going to be delayed even longer because we had more fricken storms tonight...my apologies again for the delay...hopefully tomorrow I believe should be better...hopefully I will have a driver to move them out so I can get the pictures...Martjuh you just need one picture from each side right? anything specific you need? and Fort do those pictures that are already on there...do those work for you?


well, we do, but we call them Brush X, where x is the number. Here in my town, all trucks call signs and names are the type and station number. So, an Engine from Station 2 would be Pump 2. Yes, we call them Pumps :P lol... and those picks do work... now, if I could just work on getting Zmodeler to like me. I can't figure the damn thing out.

I personally think I'd do better at skinning and some basic lighting.

Oh thats interesting lol...here, if our station number is 12 (my departments number) for fire engines...they are called rescue engine 121,122,123,123 etc...then, whatever special service we have (truck, squad, Tanker) are just called, Tanker 12, Truck 12, squad 12...now for brush units we call them brush 12...so um, yea I downloaded zmodeler but it won't work for me, sometimes vista really pisses me off lol...I do all this on my laptop so I don't know if my computer just doesn't have the right graphic card and everything or what it is but...yea it doesn't work for me...and I can't figure out how the heck to unlock (unpack) v3o files...I tried all the things that everyone said. they said to just right click the file, and rename the dds file to a v30 file...but alls it will let me do is rename for ex....aerial ladder, I can change that name, but not the file type...and it's making me mad, maybe it's cause I have vista but I can't figure it out...do you know?

Wow, that'd confuse me :P It's easy here. We have 6 stations in town. Each station has a Pump and a Rescue, except for Stations 2 and 5. They don't have a Rescue, they have Heavy Rescues. They do all the extricating in Auto accidents. Station 1 also has a Boat and a Ladder, Station 3 has a Brush, a Utility, and a John Deere Gator (Painted RED, of course) :P , Station 4 has a Tanker and a Water Tower, Station 5 also has a Tanker, and Station 6 also has a Boat.

As for the Zmodeler, can't help ya, don't know anything about Vista :P

As for the Files; What you need to do is:
1. Rename the .v3o file from example.v3o to 1example.v3o (or similar, just change the name slightly).
2. Rename the .dds file from example.dds to example.v3o
3. Start the editor. Load your Mod
4. Under the mods menu in the Editor, you should see unpack.
5. Unpack the example.v3o (the one that WAS a .dds)
6. Exit the Editor
7. I used some Korean Program, the "Dark Namer"
8. Load the unpacked v.3o file
9. click the button on the left hand side, second from bottom.
10. type ".dds" click ok
11. click the button on the top left
12. click ok, ok (that will turn example.v3o back into example.dds)
13. Go back into the mod folder, and rename 1example.v3o to example.v3o
14. use the .dds converter to change the .dds file into .jpeg, .bmp, etc.

Voila! You're done. Clear as mud? :P

By the way, are you guys full time or volunteer?

...your not understanding what i'm saying read carefully lol....



when I type what the file reads it means that is the part I can rename...aerial_ladder.V3O is renamable
I can see a file that reads.....................aerial_ladder.V3O (renamable)

but for all .dds files...........they read like this...............aerial_ladder.......(thats the only renamable part) under that it says the file type which is .dds.............so therefore meaning I cannot change the .dds file over to .v3o....Make any sense? lol the V3O files are the only ones that show up with V3O on the end of the name of the file...................

Ok, I'm sorry, I see what you mean. Try right clicking on the .dds file, then click on properties. There's a rename option there. That may work :P

Open any folder on your computer. Go to Tools->Folder Options->View->Hide Extensions for Known File types. Make sure the box is EMPTY. Then you should be able to see the .dds part.

ok................ ok so I found the way to change the .dds file to V3O now...that thing you were talking about was in the control panel...so I changed it, got into the editor...and selected to unpack the one I changed, got no confirmation like everybody said I wouldn't get...so I got out of the editor...changed it back to dds....went into the dds converter to convert it to photoshop file but it still said the conversion was failed....so I renamed it to v3o again...got back into the editor and tried it again, then it said it was already unpacked??? still not making any sense why it won't work...


You may have to use the Dark Namer program like I said... I'll see if I can find it and give you the link
