7months in the making...

[{HoD}Ferocious 0]

Well its been almost a full 7months since i have been working on my campaign and I'm finally on the last stretch!

Many were done-but none captured the real event. Some were just movies but no fighting. Some were fiighting but had no resemblence to the actual thing.

I decided to really sit down and take the time to do it right. I spent a full month just testing my city making sure no serious amounts of lag occured.

"Aight Grizz great but what are u talking about?"

Black Hawk Down.

The campaign takes place on ZWA's Desert Everon.

Not including the Island it requires three addons.

-Ranger Units{don't have name on hand...will there with release}

-Somalia units

-Gunslingers Addon.

I had to use Gunny's object cause the destroyed building are a few of the only things u can't create in the mission .sqm

It is a total of 6missions with a possible Prelude mission for the fun of it.

Mission1: Intro movie, Raid, Chopper crash

Mission2: Securing crash site, help a lost humV

Mission3: 2nd chopper crash{short movie}

Mission4: Intro movie, Go back to the city with backup.

Mission5: Intro movie, Hold crash site till rescue convoy arrives

Mission6: Ending{Short film}.

I'm keeping it brief...gotta leave some surprises.

I have plenty of screenshots but i don't know how to post.

I have also wanted to get some publicity from some website owners but i'm not very known amongst the OFP community even though i have been playing since Sept. 2001.{hehe 1.2 mutiplayers days....geez remember?}

My beta testers have asked me to put in the MH-6 Little Bird but as it stands right now i dont' have Resistance nor do i have the specs to run it. I may add it in later in a revised version but for the amount of time that it would be in the missions another addon is not all that worth it.

I made way by using the OH-68-it makes a rescue attempt for the downed crew member at crash site 1{if u recall the movie or the actual event...no shit boys i really stuck to everything}, in which case i just removed the gunner.

Hope to hear some comments...

Well as you make it sound, it sounds pretty cool.

I would love to try out your campaign, even if it was just for the fact that you spent 7 months on it

Well for the moment I'm on a temp internet coonection {56k} But within the next month or so I'll have my cable up and runnin' again.

The mission is fun though-The hardest part was making it seem like your are always surrounded but only enough enemies so u can actually win the mission.

LoL having no job helps...many all nighters

Man I'm pumped to release this!

OM section is for official missions. I'll move this to Mission Editing.(only place I coud find to be fitting.. )

Woah freaky. hehe. I was wondering how the hell this got here.

No flames for a double post guys. The powers that be deserve that. :O

Copied from duplicate thread

Sounds good, just a couple of questions/comments:

- If it is for 1.75, you would be better off using Kegetys' Editor Addon v1.11, which is more reliable than Gunslingers Addon

- If you want to post pics, http://www.imgstudio.com/ is a good pic hosting site, the only drawback is a small logo in the bottom right corner.

Anyway, can't wait to see this one. Nice to see someone putting some serious time into a project before release.

Well its been a long 7months thats all I'll say. Your talking to someone who has 5months of visual basic and Hypercard{hehe old school} skills. But when i saw that types of things people were doing with the OFP editor i said thats it I'm learning. Sat down with many joints and just read and read.

One of the best things i did to help me learn{especially with camera scripting} was to download a file and then go line by line and fiddle with it. Alonf with a my COMReference file in no time i began understanding.

But the forums is where i learn the basics.

Heck a persistent 7months leter and i can now write my scripts. Not nearly as nice as some of you guys out there though.

That is why i still feel like my campaign will lack a little in the end. My potential isn't being met by my skills.

Thats is why i said a possible revised version, I'm thinking that at least the effort in which i put into it will prolly cuase at leats some folks to want to decrypt it and fiddle with it.

Oh-I'm new to the forums BTW so hi everyone .

P.S. I tend to type a lot. But don't make me worthy of a Flame. My..fur..burns...quickly?!

P.P.S. Re-Reading is for losers.

This will be great if you have spent 7 mounths on it... Witch littlebirds did you use?

I'm In, Killer Idea, Dont Forgeting to Post That Link!

You don't need Res to use Littlebirds. Balistic Studio released Littlebirds for both OFP and Resistance.

Sounds promising.

Which destroyed building are you talking about?

Tank_em and Frugo_PL, your sig is 28pixels too tall.  Might wanna fix it before you get stuck with a fluffy bunny.
