Recommended Posts

what about creating some civilian addons like cars planes that can carry ppl around the islands(i mean twin engine planes) women,children ect that would spice up missions and add more realism to the game witch is already very realistic if anyone has other ideas please post them wink.gif

Yea i think it would be intersting. What would be better is maybe some AI that would live... That would be kinda intesting to see. Insted of them just istten there or them running around u set waypoint to = Live. and they just go and live.

About Twin Engine Planes are you talking about things like 737's or something like... An learjet. Because none of these would work cause... well its ovouis there is only 1 airport each island.

As for civilian vechicles i hear theres a bus coming out or something that should be intersting...

Some aircraft can land almost where ever like the otter or the AN-2 so you don't need a runway there are many roads in OFP to land on and the positive side is that there are no hydro poles to take off the wings smile.gif

more like twin otters or beechcraft 900 or some water planes

as for civs life it would be great to have a script that would make the ai go on with their lives and react to any threat that would be great and also see other cars than the trabant and the skodas biggrin.gif

Someone did make a bus stop already. I think you can download it from OFP CZ, but I'm not positive. I know it's out there, though.

I posted this in another thread last night, but I think it would be appropriate here. I've also started work in the mission editor for what I call "Everon Alive." It is an attempt to create Everon as a living island. People driving hiking, plowing fields with the tractor, police patroling, planes landing and taking off at the airfield, etc. Unfortunately, it needs a lot of add-ons to look good. I've also made the military base outside of Saint Pierre/Everon Airfield more realistic (added barracks, mess hall, officer's quarters, etc.). With more add-ons, I could do a lot more.

I think that the add-ons below are small enough and "European" enough to be authentic for the OFP island system. If I had any talent for add-on making, I'd do it myself, but I don't. I got these images from model railroading websites/stores because that was the best place to find what we can add to OFP.

BEGIN COPY

I'd really, really love to see more civillian add-ons to give the islands a more 'living' feel to them. I know it's not as glamorous as .50 cal sniper rifles and F-14 fighters, but I think that civillian add-ons give a better feel for actually being on an inhabited island as opposed to a deserted island.

With civillian add-ons, I could make a template for the mission wizard that would create a living world on each island (so I'd have people walking around, people at work, cars driving, taxis picking up and dropping people off, planes landing, etc.). This template would allow other players/mission makers to fight battles with civillians running around, or conducting counterterrorist operations while the civillians go about their daily business, etc. I think the potential for immersive playability would be greatly enhanced with even a few of these add-ons. I know that the G8 mod is doing a lot of police/emergency vehicles and that BIS will have a lot of civillian buildings and vehicles come with Resistance, but I say the more, the merrier!

My humble requests:

LoL, yeah, I want a fork lift, didn't in the A-Team, the armed the fork life with these launchers that launched 2 by 4s at people?

No, but seriously, a DC-3 would be cool plane for the civies to use to get to other islands or the mainland. Maybe a Dash-8 (37 pax) or a Hawker-748 (45 pax) would be nice.

that bus stop was made by zwadar.

but it is a vehicle, with only "cargo" activated.

it does look cool having people sit in it, but it doesnt look very realystic if they get out!

I sure hope the bustop in Resistance is better

Is there someone out there who can get ms3d files into p3d??

If so let me know, and maybe we'll have a ferrari and a Audi TT in flashpoint biggrin.gif

I hope that resistance will have some civilians just walking around and stuff. It would add to the atmosphere. Though when the Russians invade, I'm pretty sure the word will spread fast, and I doubt any civilians would hang outside if there is an armed conflict going on. They either flee the island or hide in their basement. I know that's what my grandma did when Nazis entered her village.
