"Competition" for OFP 2011

[Jan Cepera 10]

Time has run out. In April 2011 I announced the begin of a "competition" (which was supposed to keep OFP active)

Our Jury ( Jan Cepera, Jiri Smid or Roberto Hrvat ) and our assistant, Sarge, began thorough testing of the competing missions. How we enjoyed playing them is reflectedd in our judgments. As it is, some were better some worse. Nevertheless, see for yourselves.

notes:

I have yet to beat this mission, and I made it! The basic premise is there's this jungle area full

of vietcong and your unit is tasked with finding and unknown number of camps in the area by

trailing patrolling enemy squads. It also plays as an mp mission also and is best when played

with ww4 ecp.

requires:

john j rambo vietnam soldiers v3.0

tales of war choctaw

and

JAM 3

THATS IT!!

Thx Hammer (Vojtěch Zatloukal) for information about idea.

[mrmoon 19]

Can you tell us campaign story? Ah, I can't now help, I have to finish Area51 mod. And after that I have to make a island called "Area 51" and then I making long Area 51 campaign.

[mrmoon 19]

Radical ultra-nationalists in Russia (cliche I know), west taken over by corporate elite. Turns out world is not big enough for the both of em and of course ww3 kicks off.

Set around the nogova island chain the player skips between Russian, American, British and maybe polish and nogovan warriors of various discipline's.

The story itself is thus less personal and more political and "historical" with the only personal elements coming from the protagonist's log in the notes section of the breifing.More then anything its a chance to showcase some of the best and most underused units created by the community.

Saying that the missions Ive made so far are not merely eye candy while they are in no way the best, they are really fun to play and have some great set pieces.

[Aldo15 11]

Ok, I'm another question.

Can I make campaign or only SP

[Jan Cepera 10]

Sure, you can create mini campaign ;)

Now Im creating small project to this competiton and this is campaign too ;)

[Aldo15 11]

Ah thank you... I'll continue making my campaign, but it's not a mini campign. Well I think :)

[mrmoon 19]

My campaign uses so many addons I don't think it can be part of the compo anymore:eek:.

OPERATION CODEBLUE CAMPAIGN FINAL EDIT

required links in download

[JohnBart 0]

Hey everyone,

Savedbygrace on OFPEC just managed to review my action-comedy OpFlash campaign entitled Everon Vice, scoring a fair and just 7/10. It is using a substantial amount of addons (11, to be exact), so it probably cannot run on the competition, still, I thought I'd share the link with you guys to enjoy another OpFlash creation... :)

@BronzeEagle

The link to the CodeBlue East & West units in the readme is broken.

I was very interested and motivated to try Code Blue campaign when I saw a new post in this thread. Hopefully, I managed to find required East and West units add-on at ofp.gamepark.cz, doing a simple search 'code blue' or so.

Anyway, a problem pops up in 3rd mission - it says my game is missing some tent_?? add-on, which probably wasn't included in CB units package.

I would describe my first impression about start of the campaign, shouldn't I? Well, unfornately, I didn't see any cutscenes yet and that really makes player to feel playing somethings not worthy of time. Of course, I found this impression wrong. Music in the briefing was a cool idea. It set a great atmosphere to put up at decent fight for Soviets. First 2 missions seemed, to be honest, too simple, disappointed a bit, very short and enemy base design wasn't what I should have expected. I thought it will be more creative, advanced. Not tryting to make people negative, my point is that campaign still needs more polishing in content way, not technically.

I hope my post will help to orientate.

[DOA 20]

I have almost ten years worth of unfinished OFP missions. I'm sure I can get a couple finished for this competition. :-)

Don't worry my friends. Operation Flashpoint will never die. Long after they release ArmA 25 there will still be veterans of cold war crisis and resistance who will always have room on their hard drive for the original. Those that lived through through those first few years (Campaigns, AddOns, Mods,etc) are bound by the experience almost as strong as real world veterans. LOL

yeah my mission with codeblue was to focus on enjoying the mission not so much solving the mission. if you want a mission more on the go of solving problems, you should try my vietnam mission. it's a hard nut to crack and its multiplayer so you can enjoy it with your friends. judging me by the codeblue campaign is honestly judging me by my worst work. vietnam is the cream of all my missions, its one hard nut to crack.

DON'T HESITATE FROM PLAYING THIS JUST BECAUSE ITS A MISSION, i mean it takes a good chunk of your time to beat. Honestly the work im most excited about noone notices and i post some crappy campaign and everyone wants to post about it....sheesh...

How many addons can a campaign have?

I've analizing, and I discovered you don't like the campaigns and missions with so much addons, and I don't know Why?, but no problem

Can you tell us campaign story? Ah, I can't now help, I have to finish Area51 mod. And after that I have to make a island called "Area 51" and then I making long Area 51 campaign.

Roberto I'll try to think a campaign story for your mod. When I have a free time, I'll start to make it!

[kaject 22]

My campaign uses so many addons I don't think it can be part of the compo anymore:eek:.

Obviously, if you want your campaign to be at least playable, you gotta be sure that all add-ons you're about to use are downloadable in the internet. If this cannot be achieved, then make a decent pack of content you've used in your creation, share it on free upload trackers like megaupload, gamefront... That would be great and much more comtfortable for a player.
