Resistance winter addons

Recommended Posts

Hmm, Maa released his update for CSLA addon in pbo which was coded specially by BIS so that pbo extractors can't open it. Keg maybe you should ask BIS to do this for Winter Nogova's pbo wink.gif.

But what about the tool, that removes the first 46 bytes, so that pbo extractors CAN open it?

Or did BIS code the CSLA upgrade in another way?

bye,

Well there's always a way to hack the pbo open. Removing first 46 digits from O.pbo can also be called hacking. But I don't think that someone is going to find a way for just few tree and bush models. But still I fully understand Kegetys, and besides he is, just like I'm, from Finland and we Finns are known as very honest people tounge.gifbiggrin.gif.

Kegetys, fubar has a VERY valid point there. Anyone with resistance me included could decript nogova and release it on the net. If u put winter nogova on internet, u wount have any fault as u coded it only for ppl that have only 1.75 and above. In two words (actually 3) release it please

Sure, I could go and blow up the neighbors house, but me being able to do it doesnt mean its something legal to do. (duh!wink.gif

hmm the fact is that publishing a modified version of Nogova is not illegal: if it was so, u already did somethin illegal when u published winter version for kulgujev as ppl who had the demo could have modified them to allow them on it. U see my point? I think bis is done with ofp1 and are just releasing the last patches before moving if they didnt already move to a nu project (OFP2 i hope). U wount be doing anything illegal, I love the game as it is, but with more islands and it will be better and also with the release of unofficial patches a new era could be open for ofp untill ofp2 comes out. Else only me and u will keep playing this game sad.gif , so many people are getting tired (but not me!!wink.gif

Just stumbled over this thread while looking for something else...

Isn't there a possibility to make the Winter Nogova work only with Resistance by making it interdependent with the stuff in the o.pbo (using stuff that only exists in this pbo)? That way only people with Resistance could use the island, and other people would not be able to edit it as easily to work with 1.46 (only by substituting something else for the stuff used from o.pbo)?

it will need the tree models of resistance, i think the nogovawinter.pbo only has textures? then it would be np as people with 1.46 dont have the res tree models

Yes, that's what I was thinking of... I just didn't know if it's possible to have textures only in an addon and use the modell of another addon (like buildings, trees, landscape). If that's possible, then there shouldn't be a legal problem.

The addon then only includes non-BIS property (Keg's textures) and only uses references to BIS material (as we do when making missions), and could not be used to ilegally obtain BIS-copyrighted material included in Resistance. In fact it would be more like an additional incentive for people to finally get Resistance, if they haven't updated already!

Edit: wouldn't that keep the size of the addon down, too???

i may be wrong but from my experience of retexturing p3d's you need to include them in the pbo with the textures as it will need hex editing/texture swapping, so all the tree models would need to be included, im not sure if the same goes for the actual nogova island but im guessing so

But what about if Kegetys send the pbo 2 bis and they put it into a patch.

ex. For the patch 1.90 and when you upgrade it, You need 1.85. Like the normal patches.

So the people whit 1.46 cant have it.

Get my point???

So issent that a good salution? lets hope it is.

Bis please help Kegetys and other people so we can play whit that baby!

[dream mode]What about an partial ice cover on the "river"? And if it could be destroyed/removed by detonating satchels/artillery... [/dream mode]

Well, I doubt the engine would allow for that... wink.gif
