Opgwc demo released ! ! !

[Major Fubar 0]

The installer for this (setup.exe) defaults the installation path to Program Files\Codemasters\OperationFlashpoint. It didn't give me an option to point it to the right path... (Which in my case is Games\OperationFlashpoint).

Just thought I'd let you know...

I don't like it. The "island" you created has only 2 textures, and a couple of small textures for the airstrip. Half the place is completely flat.

Also, the iraqi soldiers have russian faces, russian camo, and russian weaponry. They should have middle eastern faces, a different camo, and AK-47s. The kuwaitis have czech faces, czech camo, and czech weaponry. WTF? They aren't changed one bit.

The paladins are weak and hard to aim with. In real life they are very precise and can stop a tank charge no problem. In game, Iraqi T-55s can easily destroy a bunch of paladins without ANY damage done to them.

The apaches have AWFUL textures, just awful.

The only thing I could possibly like out of it are the M16 sounds, but even those sound very muffled. They need to be sharper.

you guys better shape up before the final release!

I might field this one since I made the island. The island is mainly flat because IT IS IRAQ!!! Go look at a map...Iraq is about 80% flat desert.

Secondly the island has 5 base textures (go into the mountains), with a total of 176 custom textures used for the map. So you are a little wrong when you say "2 textures". If it seems as though there is just one main texture used...you are right. IT IS THE DESERT.....what else would you expect??? Gees...

As for a final release....I am currently redoing ALL the land textures. The final ones will "tile" almost perfectly, have more variety, and use colours sampled from photographs of Iraq.

Just downloaded it (fast host). Will try when time permits, but thanks in advance for putting so much work into the OFP community.

BTW: I like the calendar you have on the Desert site, except I never heard of this election holiday... what's haloween?

No problem.

I just assumed CUSTOM meant what components to install, didn't realise it would mean path as well. Thanks.

It might be well said but I would like to ask members of the silent majority out there who like the mod to pipe up and give us your reviews, please.

[ale2999 0]

Quaker nice job, it is only a demo that means it is not a final release. he had the idea to package all his addons and put them togethere and release it. When he makes more he is gonna make like updates/pathes like it happens for cs. WTG, just make some missions man hehe

[nierop 0]

Sorry Avon Lady,

Silent majority has not finished testing. I dont go blabbing when I dont know my own opinion yet...

Bye,

I like the paladin alot, great fun trying to get the elevation right and then see if you hit

[Major Fubar 0]

OK, dumb question now:

Can I use these addons in non GWC missions?

I put the PBOs in my Res/Addons directory (ds_m249.pbo, ds_m82a1.pbo etc.), but can't access them through the editor.

I unpbo'd one to have a look, and there was no config...are they all in a central pbo or something?

In short, what do I need to put in my standard addons folder to access these addons? (Without having the seperate EXE installed etc.)

Thanks - Fubar

You do realise that Paladins are artillery, they ARE lightly armoured, and they shouldn't be in a direct gunfight at all?

Until indirect fire is sussed, they are only useful as eye candy, but I have an idea:

I haven't gone deeply into scripting, so I'm not sure it's possible, but can a vehicle actually "carry" a script, so that instead of adding a particular script to a mission every time, you just have to add the vehicle? The Paladins could really be deployed anywhere, hell, they'd be able to cover a whole island. Ditto for the MLRS. Aim them by clicking on the map.

If so, the Paladin could carry the neccessary script for an artillery barriage, so its available while the Paladins are still in one piece, but lost if the vehicles are destroyed.

@quakergamer: The effort is appreciated, but you still have a lot of work to do. One thing I noticed about the Paladin was that the inside of the gun barrel (visible through the muzzle break) had no texures. you'll reqire a few extra polys in there.

[zverushka 0]

Thats the problem, a tank has the same range as a paladin and is more accurate. It should have a longer range than a tank, maybe by some special optics or computer equipment.

Yes I will fix the textures there.

But first I want a STABLE config.bin that supoprot pistols ( I just dont get why it dosent work :/) and for the M109;

OFP DOSENT Support artillery so I've did the best I've could but it can't work better.

With scripting, yes it would be possible to have accurate firing but the scrtipts will only work if you put them in your missions (Thats what we will do for our missions).

And also to zverushka:

The m109 has 4000 mb range , adn if you become really good try setting viwdistance at 4000m and firing

ull see it can go way longer and its also more powerful than a tnak shell. But this is just if you become good at firing the cannon (trust me I am not lol but peoples managed to do it in MP games)

[SantaMania 0]

Before accusing any 3rd party add-on & mod, just check facts. This happens to me too when I get out of map in an air vehicle. This is NOT a mod problem.

Incredible respect in these boards!
