Road To Caen Demo

[Bielow 10]

Hi!

Below it's reason why my I44 patch will have delay. I worked on this -

Ladies and gentelmans

I'm honored to show You piece of art. Something which was to us-ww2 fans like dream. I get this beauty from Guy - respect mate! :cool: and merged with T_Roc version. List of things which I fixed is unneccesary -beside it was very short - huge challenge was to fix GREAT Sengir's animation. It takes me some time but here it is - Enjoy!

Unfortunately it's not over 1/10 but it's something which we can have and play waiting for Fab's return. (King's return will be good title too ;) )

Please read carefully Credits list in mod folder nad FAQ. Thank You

FAQ

Q:Is in mod armor's,vehicles,planes or heavy weapons ?

A:Nope. On the first release Fab was planned only infantry and few static weapons like mortar on mg-34/42 on tripod. Eventually vikcers. Nothing more- from my knowledge.

I don't have acess to vehicles and rest of stuff. But Sennacherib is planing release his map and buildings which was dedicated to Caen mod. Check this thread.

Beside T_Roc released huge pack of vehicles. Americans and British stuff was dedicated to caen too-this thread.

Q:Why it's only this and that?? Where is that stuff which we saw at forum thread?

A:I don't have it. I have the latest version which Fab shared with team members.

Q:I spotted bug. You suck man!

A:I fixed what I could. All should work if someting wasn't worked-report.

Q:Will be any update to it?

A:Yes. I'm planing release DLC with one weapons more mg-34 with bipod and one my mission.

Q:I want use xxx or yyy in my mod. I want to add zzz to ggg

A:Check credits file.

Q:I was worked in WWIIEC team and I don't see my nickname in credits list.

A:Report me. I'll add You.

Q:Why You didn't added proper stuff like mp-40 pouches to heer/w-ss ?

A:It will be profanation in my opinion. I released fixed stuff. Nothing was added.

Any qestions etc are welcome

Regards and have fun

Appendix 3 -spotted bugs

a. Throwing grenades - i know distance of this is fucke*. I'll change this and release with DLC.

b. Running. When we press forward + left/right our man will run and stop after few sec when we let go buttons o nkeybaord. It's missing animation - 2 to be honest. Maybe I'll fix it-maybe now. I fixed a lot of anims and it was really pain in arse did this in Aef anim.

c. Bolting action. You can shoot during reloading. I don't know how to block this. I will wait for response someone like Reyhard which i hope will fix this things...

[Incubus 10]

PS: what about italian stuff? :D

[ProfTournesol 956]

Bloody hell, that's a surprise ! Dlding now :)

[-RuN- 0]

Yeah! New toys!

[RozekPoland 591]

Nice surprise! Gonna test it asap!

[ProfTournesol 956]

This grass, those trees, soldiers models and textures plus those animations' prowess make it look better than ArmA2. Fab is really an ingenious genious, hope he'll be back one day. Thanks a lot Bielow for this.

[sanctuary 19]

Very good, the grass is really impressive in how it does not degrade performance, models and texture are really great too, and Sengir anims are just awesome.

[rellikki 7]

Quality work! :) Everything in this mod looks very detailed.

Mirror by OFPR.info:

[Bielow 10]

Thank You all - but it's all Fab's and his team work.

Glad to hear that ofp still have fans ;)

Relliki - Thank You for mirror,and for news on main page too! :)

Incubus - rules are rules ;) But if for personal use I think yes. Now I'm going to celebrate :D about Italian stuff well I have... yuhm ohm ehm... It's a secret :p

Edit---

@incubus - I forget-beside it's totally different model of soldier-using his own animations.so it will be a lot of work

yes, but personally I still prefer your animations. I know, this is not a contest, i just give my opinion.;)

The grass is nice, the trees too, even if for my taste they are too much green.

The weapons and the Brits are a nice surprise :)

[RozekPoland 591]

I'm still impresed by this pack. Level of details is overwhelming. Obviously there are some bugs and smaller problems however this RTC Demo is brilliant :)

[stgn 39]

Really great impressive work, only wish the controls where more "dynamic" instead of slow.

[Incubus 10]

@incubus - I forget-beside it's totally different model of soldier-using his own animations.so it will be a lot of work

i can set up a server for u 1 month to test if u want.

from 1. April til 30 OK for u?

[Bielow 10]

@incubus will be great.

Time to think about converting few missions to Road to Caen MP package ;)

But when I finish my DLC first.

[krzychuzokecia 717]

WW2EC Team - thanks for top-notch work! I'm really impressed by the quality of animations, grass, units, weapons... everything!

[Bielow 10]

No. Names are very longer ;) Check config :

wwIIec demo island (hedgerow + trees)

So that's You see only few letters in editor map menu ;)

So..nope. But I'll make small DLC with one weapon and one small mission.

I updated credit list - thx to ww2weasel.

[cantor 10]

Excellent work, especially the animation of the soldiers, and the island! Bravo!

[THX-1338 10]

Great work!Expecially animations.

Hm, i think, we can use the other ww2 addons to combine mod. With this animations all will look more better. Great thanks!

[AKM 0]

Good work releasing this demo. It's very German-heavy, unfortunately, but the British troops are superbly done. Great sounds too, some of the best I've heard so far. I've been looking forward to Caen '44 for a very long time, figured it was dead, but to see Road to Caen come out of the blue like this is very welcome indeed.

Some flaws for the WWIIEC team to correct whenever they get the chance:

- Despite correct installation, the demo continues to ride my ass about the salute animation missing. As far as I can tell this is because it has been subordinated to the cycling bolt animation, played after every shot on a bolt action rifle.

- Pattern 1937 and Pattern 1944 web equipments had a larger canteen. The modelled one is perhaps half the size of what the actual should be, based on comparison of proportions to the general purpose ammo pouch. When I was younger I bought a set of unblancoed 37 pattern WE because I figured it'd be a good piece of history to have; same reason I own a No.4 SMLE and a M1891/30 Mosin Nagant.

- Likewise, the spike bayonet should be slightly longer than it is.

- Can increase the delay-in-ready time for bolt action rifles; shouldn't be able to fire when the cycle bolt animation is playing. This has been done on a number of addons, but not being an addon-maker, I don't know what config values to adjust. This would also help the "can fire when reloading" problem on others.

- Everybody is a clone of everybody else. Only an issue if you're going to try and implement cinematics in your missions, when it becomes noticeable.

- Bayonet does not seem to work despite correct installation.

- As already noted, grenade weights (or at least the setting for how far you can throw them) are a bit wonky.

- Iron sights zoom too far out. Set them to zero zoom, same level as first person view. If this messes up the iron sight view, then it's best to leave it as is until that can be adjusted accordingly.

I'm going to start work on some missions set on that superb Anjou island. Going to try to find some small packs of WWII vehicles or at least something that isn't a huge supplementary download to flesh out the missions with vehicles.

[Bielow 10]

Good to hear that I'm not alone in making missions to it. As I mentioned I fixed what I could. I'm not typical profeesional like Fab was. Beside that demo was for ww2ec team only and it was released to them very earlier- few months after when thread was started.

It's very German-heavy,

Yes. I should release only W-ss in dot camo in demo. My bad :p

About

the spike bayonet should be slightly longer than it is.

As i mentioned in Faq. I made it playable-at some point. And In my opinion it's good.

Everybody is a clone of everybody else

About clone faces... if You remember I44 2.0 or even 2.5 it's the same problem. It all need time. If You will look at faces.pbo You will see that Fab had huge plans. Faces are with shadow to cap/helmet etc so It suggests to us that it was in plans huge modification.

Almost every element to made it take a lot of time.Version which (During probably bad upload/or something) I had have few missing animations to rifles and without Rtm Toolbox by Fab -who help me with it (And AefAnim too)

It was be almost totally unplayable... It were be neccesary to change all models to ofp anim standard..

Bayonet does not seem to work despite correct installation.

Probably. I'm not configer/scripter. I'll look at it but It wasn't my top prioritet.

As already noted, grenade weights (or at least the setting for how far you can throw them) are a bit wonky

And as I already mentioned I didn't know where it is.

a. Throwing grenades - i know distance of this is fucke*. I'll change this and release with DLC.

Maybe it was my bad decions to release and I should look carefully on them,but..release will be probably in Decemeber 2011 in that case. Cause I have real life. And lot of my personal projects.

http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/WWIIEC If someone was interested what plans was etc.. :p And it's still hope tha Fab will return!
