NEW YORK MODIFICATION

V.1.01 General:
This is a modification for Emergency 4/911: FR which includes a representation of the city of New York and all subsequent apparatus and personnel. The modification is designed to work within the original framework of the game while adding new functions and features to make the game more realistic while preserving the strategy aspect of the original game play. This mod features about 50 new vehicles all of which have some special purpose in mind requiring you to take the time to think about what it is youll need to send to address the situation at hand. Currently there is a functional but unsupported Multiplayer mode, we do not support this feature at this time as weve not tested this extensively enough to guarantee that it is bugfree. Freeplay however, is supported and any bugs pertaining to the free play mode of the game will be looked into for subsequent patches necessary if the bug is a major issue. Why are some features missing from the version? Certain things were omitted due to their tendency to cause issues or because of the sheer time that would have been required to put them into version 1. Subsequent future versions will have these things replaced and/or added if we can resolve all the bugs they may have, such as the tower ladder and real helicopters to replace the generic ones which are currently in the modification. Hopefully in a future version we can get them all replaced, due to the time constraints we wanted to release this sooner, rather than later. Please note this modification takes place in the post 2001 era (roughly 2002) to around early 2008 so the vehicles reflect this era, they are not the latest model vehicles that NYC employs, nor the latest changes done to personnel clothing. This is done deliberately so that we may focus on adding features and adding in things which in Version 1 we might not have been able to into the next version.

Important Notes:
To use the riot police you must select one and link him to another one and then continue to do so with them all in order for them to advance together they must be linked to the same PRIMARY officer. That one will cause the rest to move in unison with him. To remove the barricades deployed by the DCU vehicle you must send an officer to pick them up, they simply disappear once picked up. This is intentional in this version as there is no vehicle to carry the barricades onto the map yet, so they are not able to be interacted with by personnel in this version.

Installation:
In order to install this modification you simply must extract these files to your desktop or some other location on your hard disk (desktop makes for easy removal upon completion). Next, in your start menu locate EM4/911:FR and in the shortcut menu you will find the mod installer, start that application (be sure to start it as an administrator on Vista/7). Then press the Install Package button and browse to your desktop and select the modification file included in this package. The program will then setup the modification for you and installation will be complete, load the mod in the game as you would any other mod and enjoy=)

Known Issues:
- Random Car script does not work on missions. - The ESU toys are not present on the Bearcat like other ESU vehicles. - When diver exit the vehicle, and I order them to enter boat/jet ski. They will enter the Rescue Truck/Jet ski Transport Pickup instead of getting in the boat/jet ski. You will have to move diver far-away from the Rescue Truck as far as possible, meanwhile move diver to *Must wait for the Boat to become it's own prototype, we could not replicate this after the boat became its own vehicle. - Some vehicles do not use the equipment door for the standard game objects, but have them on board. *Known issue, has to do with vehicle type, but is not resolvable due to the fact they must have different types of vehicles. - The fireman on the initial start-up vehicles cant be released one at a time - An issue with the tow truck the traffic flow when I went to go pickup a vehicle with it went through half of the cycle the thing in the back went down then the truck just sat there for 5 minutes then had the police shoot it *NFK had this happen once, it is a one in a million fluke that apparently happens from time to time, destroy the truck and remove. - Ladder truck is possible to un-deploy with individual still in "basket" *(original EM4 bug, cannot resolve as we cant replicate this issue on-demand) - Ladder truck is possible to get on "basket" with a fire hose, while hose does nothing at all. *(original EM4 bug, cannot resolve without potentially damaging other aspects of the game, simply put, just do not do this and you wont have the issue)
