People can voice opinions or have conversations without you butting in to decide if they are wothwhile.

The same got me worried as first rumours made the round that BIS would be handing out Oxygen, however look at it now, hardly anything oxygen made is getting released, the flood of addons just doesn´t happen.

Currently every addon, made with or without Oxygen, is getting soaked up like there´s no tomorrow, even if the quality leaves alot to be desired.

Once there are plenty of addons available the user has the freedom of choosing between them, the good ones will make it, while the not so good ones need to get better, or being ignored.

There will be some "must have" essential addons, and some "casual" addons.

I'm complaining because island addons are no different then current addons except that they tend to be BIG .pbo files.

In other words that the flood of addons is causing serious memory problems in many people's computers. The solution of coarse is to weed out the crap, or addons that I never use and keep all the good stuff. What I've had to actually do is make seperate installs of OFP. One for WWII/Vietnam mods, and one for regular modern day mods. Then I have a 3rd install specifically for Multiplayer games with very few addons.

Anyways I hope some people make some kick ass islands, but unless they're extremely good I'll pass on them.

As for spamming, no it's not spamming spamming is this:

__

Then of coarse I'd put that in every single thread on this forum. THEN that would be spamming and it would get me kicked off the forum.

Now trolling maybe. Yes I may be subconciously trolling but in reality I'm just bitching about a problem that we can't do a whole lot about. Only BIS can help stream line the addon system as Avon Lady and others noted in another thread.

I have broadband. Who cares how many new islands there are as long as they are cool and give me a new place to play.

How do you install OFP 3 times on your computer? I too would like to have a OFP installed seperately now since I got the MP betas, I've been having lots of crash to desk top when playing v1.46, so I'd like to have a 2nd MP only install of OFP. I tried by running the setup again but it only asks me if I want to reinstall OFP. Is there a way to get 2 OFP on the computer? I got 2 HDs and win98se.

-=Die Alive=-

[N.o.R.S.u 0]

Hmm I've also tried that before because of same reasons. But haven't succeeded.

[Scorpio 0]

I've reinstalled OFP about 9 times this month, so there is no doubt about it.

[Skulleye 0]

Instead of using the auto-start with the cd, check the content of the cd and see if there's a setup file that is used to install it. That should work.

[vosku 1]

you don't have to download every island if don't like them

[Parker 0]

Did any of you download the West Leak Springs (I think that was the name) that the guys from ofpinternals released? It was only like 700kb. I'm not worried.

How long did it take you to make all those trees, bushes etc?

I knew it would take about 2 days before people started using all the trees, bushes and TIME that was spent making the Jungle map. Not even a one request to use the work that was done.

It literally took weeks to make that map at the time. Now someone will just take all the trees, bushes etc, and make a new map using all the hard work that was done, release it with no regard on what it took to retexture all those p3d's and all the testing that was done.

It's just the beginning, and there's nothing I can do to stop it. Oh well, I knew it would happen so...

OFP Islands are bascially going to be the equivilence of HL Mods maps. Now that editing software is public, there are going to be a lot of bad ones, but there will definately be good ones. And its better to have the private sector making them than the official people. Cause we have more time to do good things

Ebud<span id='postcolor'>

don't worry man, its not like i wouldn't mention where i got the textures in the readme, its not copywrited material either, so it doesn't matter how you feel about the textures being used.

the fact is they're really good trees, and i don't plan on making my own.

[ebud 18]

it doesn't matter how you feel about the textures being used.

Well now that's a fine statement. No they aren't copyright, but that arguement doesn't hold up.

Simonpro made a jungle malden using those same textures and p3ds, but corresponded with me about it quite a few times, and I even gave him more huts to use that I had made.

That's the difference. He asked.

Go ahead, use them, everone else will.

[Antichrist 0]

Geez guys, we are trying to be a good community, and this is not looking too good

[Intruder 0]

If the addon is like 10, 15 MB, it puts people off especially if their on a dial up. But I will download big addons if they go down well in the community, like kegs winter kolgujev, and some of those packs.

I haven't downloaded the desert storm basic code (109 MB!!!, mostly becasue of it's size and installiation procedure, but I have downloaded demos that have been larger in file size.

Yeah I have downloaded it. And if you didn't notice it has not a single object on it. Do'h!!!

Populate that bad boy with bushes, rocks and roads and you'd have a much bigger size addon.

It's actually real easy like. Simply cut and paste your entire OFP folder into another directory. Walla! You now have TWO OFP's. However keep in mind that the original one is usually the one that gets updated by default.
