HELP ME PLEASE - EPM MOD!

[Aleksander304]

Hey guys. I started this topic because I wanted to install the EPM mod ( http://www.gtagaming.com/downloads/gta-iv/script-mods/5357). It's a mod (actually a script) that allows parts like spoilers etc. to move (recognizes them like doors). Now I have installed my cars that support the script and installed (not actually installed - just moved the files to the game dir) the EPM script itself. Before u ask me have I done everything right - yes, I followed the description exactly the way it says. Now I've got thru the installation - the cars are in-game.

 

The problem occurs at step 3 of the decription where I have to go in-game, get the car that is modded (in my case right now - Buggati Veyron -by Kotton ---> http://s1.zetaboards.com/Kottons_Chop_Shop/topic/2473479/1/) and press 8 with numlock on. After that a number should appear in the left top corner. Then I should alt+tab out of the game open the moveDoors.ini and replace the first part of the veyron's line with that number. Now I've tried the 8 above the letters and the numpad 8 with numpad on and off. And it doesn't work. I can't get that number to appear! WHAT THE HELL AM I DOIN' WRONG?? I've configured everything else - car handles well and all, but it's still nothing without the movable spoiler

 

 

Anyway - if you're not familiar with the mod and want to see the files that are in game dir, than here's a video >>>> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_h3Fz9KBtBc Now although it is in German language, you should get it anyway. So please guys - if anyone else has this problem or the mod, please tell me how you got it to work. I think I've done everything just like he shows in the video, although - I am not much of a German speaker.

 

 

Please help me if you can - any help at all would be greatly appreciated!

If you change any files while in-game you have to restart, but in this case just type reloadscripts in the console. The keys to open/close can be found in the .ini file and get the latest version.

No, that's not the exact case. Have you looked at the video? I NEED THAT NUMBER IN THE TOP LEFT CORNER. I did restart the game when I ''installed'' the mods. I just can't get to that number!

i have three epm scripts loaded and there are working fine as normal but only tested

in Grand Theft Auto IV Episodes From Liberty City.EPM v:0.7+1.0a+1.1. all working fine. you can email me at [email protected] for more information and i will tell you how to install it the right way.

i'm having the same issue. i've been working on it for about three days now, searching all over the internet and trying each new "solution" i find. no matter what i do, the number will never appear in the top left corner. i have made slight progress, though, b/c in the beginning the mod i was using (the Lamborghini Reventón Roadster - http://www.gtagaming.com/downloads/gta-iv/vehicle-mods/5320 ) would crash the game shortly after acquiring damage, or using the Simple Native Trainer to try to fix the damage. i downloaded and installed .Net Framework 4, as suggested in the youtube vid in OPs first link, and that prevented crashing after damage, so i can use the basic mod now. but i still want the airbrakes, etc. i also know something is wrong b/c i cannot use the ~ key to open the console. instead it spawns a taxi, which is a hotkey of the Simple Native Trainer i have installed (v6.0). i read somewhere that if you can't open the console, your .Net hook isn't working, but i can't tell if it wont open b/c SNT has a hotkey bound to it, or not. after 98723953 different attempts, i'm now gonna try to uninstalled SNT and see if my console opens.

 

however, it seems so far, everyone who has responded to this thread missed OP's main point. THE NUMBER IS NOT APPEARING IN THE TOP LEFT CORNER. that's the point where we cannot follow the installation instructions (if you can call them that).

 

please help, someone, i'm losing my mind after being up for almost three days trying to get this to work.

 

thanks in advance.

OK guys, thanks for all the replies, but I figured it out myself... I had to update my .NET Framework to .NET Framework 4. It's workin now, but although my video card doesn't have the guts (memory) to display all the objects and all that as I have EPM mod installed. So yeah it works, but my comp doesn't have enough guts to run EPM mod within the game itself. Even if I set the settings to 'Low' and all that (I can run the game without the mod on medium and some settings on high but this mod slows down the FPS and the loading remarkably, so don't install it unless if you have an i7 and a graphics card with its memory above 512MB.

i already my .NET Framework to 4 and I'm still having the problem. does ANYONE out there know why ~ doesn't open my console, but instead spawns a taxi? and when i uninstall simple native trainer, ~ does nothing at all.

Try downloading this. This fixed my EPM problem when it didn't work.

Hey! 2 years after this was started and now I'm having the same problems! Argh!!

I have tried num lock on and off pressing and holding 8 and all other numbers, with snt in and out. Nothing! I don't know why some mods ask you to put the scripts in a scripts folder, which i assume you create yourself? I have tried with the files in and out of this "scripts" folder. Still nothing after pressing 8.

I have had SNT working and therefore have .Net 4, 1.0.7.0 version of GTA IV. Using a laptop: HP Pavilion Dv7. Windows 7, i7, dual quad core blah blah blah. Anyone explain, or maybe someone ask the author please? I also need help on this one

 

P.s. - off topic. Any one know of a good ENB that doesnt use too much ram, looks good and doesn't have that awful red sky bug? Is icenhancer 2.0 good for that? I've had 1.3 previoulsy but had those 3 problems
