LauryThorn 0 Posted April 26, 2002 Ok, I have new mission pretty much ready. You are James Gastovski. You and two other black ops must help resistance with their assault on Vernon, Everon. Mission features: - briefing & overview - intro - helicopter transports - parachuting - no addons/mods - custom sounds - slight differences between cadet/veteran mode - file size: ~320K You can download it here. Basically, it requires only OFP 1.0 or something, but there is strange G36a weapon haunting in the addons section, so it needs 1.3? Feedback is appreciated. Specially I would like to know, if this mission is too easy.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bart.Jan 0 Posted April 26, 2002 In night time intro I barely can see heli. Try to change its behaviour so its lights will be on. Light off when it takes off or if it's near coast. When I finnish mission heli flyies with me to J9 (lower right corner of map) and it hovers there and mission didn't end. Good idea to not use waypoints. And as I can hear voice generator works well . I find your mission too easy. I cleared village with my team only. Some tips : -There is no need for ejection, if heli flyies in low altitude it can let you get out from 1m and fly away - it's faster and more safe. It looks weird when heli flies in low alt., then stops and clibs to high alt. and makes you eject. -Don't allow player to equip his team with laws. I gave laws to my team and they destroy armored veh. in no time. -Don't give binoculars to rest of team. They use it too often. Player is leader so he needs it. Rest of team is obbeying his commands so they don't need it. -I didn't see any guards in village. There shoud be several patrols near fence and few patrols in village vicinity (2 or 3-men patrols). And checking stations near road on each end of village. (-object in editor, I don't know english name for it in game) -There is field hospital so there should be at least one medic. -I don't think that any commander would allow dead bodies in his camp. If there are no living civilans (it can be warning for them), bodies should be buried or burned or placed in near forest far from village. Dead bodies are bad for hygiene and their smell can call attention of passing enemy. (but it looks good ) -When someone is in fortress, he can not see to direction where sandbags are. -M2 east sheltered by sandbags is good idea but it doesn't look real in game. Fortress2 should be better. -There should be more soldiers in village. -There is no need for stealth placing explosives. Add some alarm so when Russians detect presence of enemy they call reinforcement, behaviour of all units changes to combat, combat mode to yellow or red. Without alarm 3 spec-ops can clan whole camp, in game. Without shock effect it will not be so easy. -Destroying few ammo crates as important objective is not good. Ammo crates can't be dangerous during fight. It can be better for resistance to capture some ammo and weapons. Maybe, if there will be several tents full up with many ammo crates with explosives,ammo and weapons it can be good strategic target generally (+maybe with some ammo truck). But that ammo depot used to be heavy guarded. -When I played your mission there was no shilka there. But don't place alone unprotected shilka somewhere.(I don't know if it's random or it's fake objective) Create AA guard place. Place tent with several soldiers near shilka. Tent is for guarding soldiers. There shoud be active and resting guards and min one soldier with personal AA weapon or ammo crate with AA weapon. It's back-up weapon for emergency.

LauryThorn 0 Posted April 26, 2002 Huge thanks for your feedback!!! This is just what I need.. Now I have something to do for the weekend.. About that shilka thing.. It isn't supposed to be there every time you play.. Maybe that should be changed.. </span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Quote </td></tr><tr><td id="QUOTE">When I finnish mission heli flyies with me to J9 (lower right corner of map) and it hovers there and mission didn't end. <span id='postcolor'> I don't know what's the deal with that.. It happened to me once, then I changed something, it worked, but now it didn't work.. Have to figure out why it's sometimes like that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ZizleyBEar 0 Posted April 26, 2002 Geat mission! The only problem was that the chopper had no light in the intro so you could not se it... After i destroyed some tanks and the shilka i jumped in a empty bmp. It was a bit dammaged but ok! So i killed all the remaining russians whit it! It was easy for me to complete the mission thanks to that BMP! Maybe it could be Locked? Good thing that you dont need addons for this! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LauryThorn 0 Posted April 26, 2002 Thanks for feedback.. I will stiffen this mission a little, and make some of things that Bart.Jan said, and then post a new link.. May take over the weekend though.. ( since I have a life ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That "I can't see the chopper" issue is strange, since on my computer, I could see the chopper very nicely. But maybe is has to do with brightness and/or gamma correction things.. But anyway, I'll fix that part too.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
