I'll be damned! You are right! Great, this will be useful.

Many thanks for that!!!

A few words: M40 is bolt action 5 rounds magazine sniper rifle. It has x3-x9 Redfield scope or Leupold Ultra x10 (in game it would be little bigger than "x4" PSO-1 of SWD). I have never heard it was supported with silencer.

Does anyone have the range, accuracy and damage details on the M21 in OFP, so I can base my (reduced) figures around this?

This is a really great addon, but I just can't bring myself to use it "as is". It's too accurate (about 2-3 inches at maximum range, it puts the M21 and SVD to shame!), too much zoom and too much damage. Add to that the fact it as quiet as an MP5SD, and you have a weapon that throws game balance out the window. How can the enemy compete with it? I tried it a few times in the mission editor and consistently managed to wipe out 4 or 5 enemy squads without them even returning fire!

Also, I don't like the sniper having heal and hide body abilities (way too powerful, he's a one man squad!).

I don't mean to rag on the creator, the weapon looks great, as does the new sniper model. And the concept of the M40A1 is awesome, I've posted a few times in the past that I'd really like to see it ingame. But if it is to be the suppressed version (I hadn't heard of this either, but I looked it up and did find some pics), it has to be more realistic, with reduced range and hitting power.

With a few tweaks, this has the potential to be one of the greatest pre-oxygen addons ever.

These are the classes concerning the standard M-21 as weapon (sound entries are modified only):

class SniperRiffle: Riffle

{

ammo="BulletSingle";

displayName="$STR_DN_SNIPER_RIFFLE";

dispersion=0.000030;

optics=1;

opticsZoomMin=0.160000;

opticsZoomMax=0.160000;

drySound[]={"weapons\M16dry",0.000316,1};

reloadSound[]={"\DynamicRange\weapons\ARcarrier.ogg",0.000316,1};

reloadMagazineSound[]={"\DynamicRange\weapons\Sniperreload.ogg",0.000316,1};

sound[]={"\DynamicRange\Weapons\SVD.ogg",6.350000,1};

soundContinuous=0;

reloadTime=0.300000;

recoil="sniperSingle";

opticsFlare=1;

aiRateOfFire=5.000000;

aiRateOfFireDistance=500;

maxLeadSpeed=50;

};

class M21: SniperRiffle

{

scopeWeapon=2;

scopeMagazine=2;

model="M21_proxy";

modelOptics="optika_snpierw";

reloadSound[]={"\DynamicRange\weapons\ARcarrier.ogg",0.000316,1};

sound[]={"\DynamicRange\Weapons\M-21.ogg",6.350000,1};

count=20;

ammo="BulletSniperW";

opticsZoomMin=0.040000;

opticsZoomMax=0.120000;

distanceZoomMin=400;

distanceZoomMax=80;

displayName="$STR_DN_M21";

displayNameMagazine="$STR_MN_M21";

shortNameMagazine="$STR_SN_M21";

};

And the according ammo class:

class BulletSniper: BulletSingle

{

hit=10;

indirectHit=2;

indirectHitRange=0.100000;

minRange=1;

minRangeProbab=0.100000;

midRange=200;

midRangeProbab=0.800000;

maxRange=900;

maxRangeProbab=0.050000;

cost=2;

tracerColor[]={0,0,0,0.050000};

tracerColorR[]={0,0,0,0.050000};

};

However, i´m sure there are also some other entries in the USMC sniper addon, havn´t looked at the .cpp file yet.

I'm assuming the bold lines are the ones I need to modify, but I'm not 100% on how the figures reflect ingame...

Personally i can´t see a difference between HW T&L and normal D3D in Flashpoint anyway, also i was used to enable this (as someone said "out of psychological reasons") before starting to check out user made weapons.

If you dislike the weapon, you can always assign a different one via the OFP Editor, i.e. standard M21 or any other weapon to the USMC sniper character.

On a test map i did a sniper/spotter team, both having the USMC sniper player model, but using different weapons (sniper: M82 Barret/ Spotter: CAR-15 Commando), works extremely well .<span id='postcolor'>

i found a way too

remove the weapon in the init then give it back via trigger. you'll have to select the weapon again but no muzzle flash unless there is another unit on the mission with that weapon and it was not removed in the init

Back to the topic:

Nobody mentioned the nice outhouse (toilet cabin)?

Imagine General Guba walking to his own personal "war room" and you blew it with an few satchel charges to the moon...

And west get´s one of this plastic chemical toilet cabins.

With an outhouse the option "sit down" now makes sense.

Do we got views from the inside like with the tanks and other vehicles?

An view through the heart shaped hole and an view over the top of an newspaper through the heart shaped hole?

The style of the outhouse and the guard tower reminds me of an old Wild West Fort.

When the Resistance AddOn is out change the motorbike to an horse, the artillery to an cannon, the RPG`s to an bow, the Ural to an covered trek wagon...

Where did you find this file?  I've gone and De-pbo'd practically everything, and cant find the data for the original weapons or vehicles anywhere in my folders.  Can you lend a guy a hand?

You failed to note 1 impotant property, the line with initSpeed=5000 dictates the gun's bullet's speed in meters/second.

[Major Fubar 0]

OK, hows does bullet speed effect things? And what is a realistic speed for suppressed .308 ammo?

[Paratrooper 0]

2800 ft per second.
