Hi, I have a modded version of SC4 Deluxe on a windows 7 PC.  not sure if that really matters tho.  so heres the problem;  A fire will break out in an area with fire department coverage, which im certain is a bug to begin with, the emergency mode initiates and the program seems to get lost in a loop.  dispatching the fire trucks doesnt put out the fires.  the auto dispatch isnt working, and I get stuck in emergency mode unable to do anything beyond this point.  I have used all of these modds previously on a vista comp with absolutly no problems like this.  Im not sure what to make of it, so if any of you have encountered a similar bug/glitch and know of a way I can solve this issue, it would be greatly appreciated.  thank you in advance.

What does "a modded version of SC4" mean? Does it mean you have custom plugins or did you "mod" the EXE?

Welcome to SC4D!

Does the problem happen in all city tiles or just one? Since you said that your game was modded, (as in with mods, right?) There could be a problem with a custom fire station if you had used one.

If I was correct about the mods, then can you give me the name of the fire station?

Hope this helped a little. Like Swordmaster said, we need to know what you mean by "modded" ;)

oh lol, well i meant plugins and etc. my mistake.  but the problem was happening with the normal fire station that comes with the game.  I wish it was just one of the plugins that was doing it, id just delete it and be done with it.   I just thought that informing you all that there is mods/plugins installed it would help diagnose or at the least understand that they could be haveing some type of affect on the game, or may be the cause.  But im not sure that it is. 

the only thing that I've done differently this time around as opposed to my vista pc (which worked with all the same mods/plugins/textures/props, is that i organized them alittle better (as in placed them in folders that corisponded with what they were or by there type, ie NDEX, transportation, texture packs, prop packs, etc.). 

Maybe that could be a part of the issue, not sure, but i kind of remember that some had to be placed in the plugin folder and not placed in any sub directories beyond that, but i cant remember which files or types of files that relates to anymore.  Its been atleast a year since I had DL all these.  Or maybe its windows 7, i don't know.  I just dont want to go back through all of the plugins, deleting or adding, one by one till it all works right.  But i guess I will if i have to.
