Click Browse and find the installation of the game yourself.



I have had the same problem with the Error that it cannot find Emergency 4, and there is no browse button just ok. So when i click ok it carrys on with the setup all fine. It asks me if i want a shortcut on the desktop i click yes. Once it's Done there is no shortcut on my desktop nor any where else. But i have the mod files in my Mod folder ?

Ok it wont install again idk if this will help but before the installer pops it says: set up could not find a valid installation of Emergency 4 or 911:FirstResponders and is unable to find a location to install the mod!


press ok to continue setup



This dosent make any sense since i installed winterberg winter 2009 mod testerday??


That happens if the installer cannot find the registry keys of Emergency 4 or 911:FR. When you install the game these registry keys get installed too...
Anyway, you can still click OK and then browse for the game directory yourself and install the mod.

It's hard to believe that you don't have a browse button, so my question is to provide a screenshot.

If you press OK you should still be able to install the mod.

The desktop shortcut is not necessary, otherwise it wouldn't be an OPTION to install one. You should still be able to load the mod from the Modifications menu?

Sorry if i'm being a nuisance.


I checked the modifications and theres a Green Spanner with 'Mods' and it says author unknown.
When i double click this, it goes black for about 10 seconds and comes back to the Em4 menu, When i go to click the campaign it's just the same missions as before (the default Em4 ones!)

The k9-unit doesn't seem to get closer when attacking persons. He bites them from the place where he is standing already and in some cases from a long distance

I just found a bug, or error of some sort. About an hour into playing the game, the Stoplights at the intersection of the movie theater and behind strip mall just stayed red in every direction. I know some of the lights take a long time to change, but for a solid 20 minutes nothing happened and traffic backed up so bad I had to quit the game. I never had this in 1.8 or 1.9. I will re-start the game and see if it happens again.

Did you stop traffic or re-direct traffic anywhere? I know back in 1.9 I was stopping traffic coming in from the tunnel on the East Side of the map. Blocking that single lane of traffic stopped the traffic lights from working... I have no idea why... But once I let the traffic from the tunnel enter the map, the lights were fully functional again...

Hi there,

First of all: THANKS for a new version of the L.A. Mod - it just keeps getting better and better :)

One problem I've had for several versions of the mod (1.8-2.0) is that traffic stops responding after a while.
Like when you re-direct traffic for an incident, most vehicles will turn and drive the other way, but after a while a vehicle will just stop in front of the re-direct, causing a jam. Trying to move down the line to re-direct won't always help. Sometimes the only cure for this is to shoot the first car on fire and transport it away. For me this slows gameplay + flow and is just plain annoying. Anyone knows what causes this and what can be done to fix it?

Merry X-mas and a happy new year!

Hmm... I've noticed this happening as well. Mainly on the main arterial roads/ avenues. Are you sure some of these vehicles haven't been re-directed before? I know that if I re-direct a vehicle once, It will not respond to any re-direct commands (from an officer or vehicle arrow bar). I believe the re-direct can only work once.

um for some reason i get a k-9 vehicle, but only the handler no option for k-9 and im just lost..

Did you let the officer go to the left side of the vehicle and take the canine unit out of the car? If you immediately tell the officer to move right after he gets out of his car, he will not go and get his canine, which might be the cause of your problem.

I don't think the traffic light problem is anything to do with the LA Mod map. I was playing the LA Mod on the original deluxe map and had the same problem. The traffic lights stayed red. On the other side of the road there was a vehicle fire so the traffic was stopped and the traffic lights that were red didn't change until I had moved the car from the other side of the road.

I do, because no one ever had a problem with them until 1.9. Untill 1.9 that same intersection(the one your referring to is towards the middle right side of the map right, south of the bridge?), worked fine. Until 1.9 no one ever had problems with traffic not redirecting. I know Hoppah may not have changes these scripts, but that doesnt mean something else isnt conflicting with the system. Im not sure what that is but none the less it seems most likley something is causing a bug.

Please DO NOT PM ME for help. Ask your questions on the forum to help others with the same issue.

I said I don't think that it's a problem with the map. I didn't say anything about other things in the mod causing problems. I was just saying that I got the traffic light problem on the deluxe map as well.

I think Hoppah said that this happened so it's supposed to do that. I can't remeber why he said it did that though.

EDIT:

One bug: LAFD FF/PM's will still try to revive covered bodies.

I don't think it's possible to stop them.. So its not meant, just not stoppable..

One thing I noticed.. On the deluze missing person, when you check a body to see if they are dead, and the get covered, the FBI agent won't check the body now...

I think someone else reported the same problem with the LAPD negotiator. I haven't had that event yet so I'll see if it is the same for me when I get that event. There isn't any way around it either.

I discovered this as well and I watched for about 15 minutes and yes traffic was backing up big time.Then I'm not sure what I did but things cleared up on their own - but was annoying whilst it was going on. 15 mintues seems awfully long; I kept waiting and watching all other signals at that intersection. all red

i'll see if it happens again.
