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

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)

, 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

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?

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