Tactical amphibious assault base (taab) released!

[Asmodeus 0]

Update from the Everon Cartel Mod:

New Addon Pack available!

You can now download the ECL_TAAB addon pack!!

It requires OFP V1.85 and in the pack there are 6 completely new buildings designed for use in the sea, but compatible with land as well.  

TAAB stands for Tactical Amphibious Assault Base, which just refers to the overall design and intended

use of the pack.  This is unlike anything else in OFP that I have seen to date...

Here's some more details of the addons included:

ECL Isle-A small raised bunker on pillars with a radar dish, radar screen, and a helicopter landing pad on the roof.  It has a perfect area in the front for defending with hand held rockets and 2 places for M2 machine guns.  Ammo boxes can be setpos'd and hidden in the floor, but still accessed by the players!

ECL Dock-This is a dock that works with Mark II pbrs, Russian Patrol Boats, the LSD  and has a ramp that works with all amphibious vehicles!!!(bmps, m113s, brdms) The best way to use it with the LSD is to back it up to the ramp part of the dock.  

ECL Parking-This is a parking platform with a large empty front area. It is sized perfectly to fit with all the other addons. At the back of it, there is an area for "fast deployment" of the vehicles where the ground drops out. (you'll see! Also, you can place a dock at the end and it will fit perfectly.

ECL Brrcks-A large barracks area with bunkbeds, lockers and a bunker area.  It also has a raised command bunker on top of it.  All of these are connected by ladders.

ECL Platform-A flat large platform on pillars.  Can also be used as a boat dock.  Good for connecting all the above addons.

ECL Platform_s-A smaller version of the above addon.

And some screenshots:

It sure does! The only problem: where is the highly luxurious suite of the evil mastermind and the pool with sharks in it?

ya all the pbos are only read only files so they wont work. hope u guys can fix it i mean it looks kinda cool

O.K. now that I'm awake.. we can see about getting those small problems fixed for you all ;D

"Cannot load mission, missing addons: SPDgs, ECL_subdock, ECL_sub, ECL_blackop2"

The subdock and submarine we're keeping for ourselves for now... as they will both play a role in our campaign....

and the Blackop2 is just the dude I happen to have holding the Steyr TMP I am currently working on

Not so sure what the SPDgs is .... perhaps Asmodeus knows what it is ..

Regarding the files being readonly... can't you just select the .pbo file... go to properties , and uncheck the read only box?

We will definately remedy the missing addons problem.... (by making sure there aren't any extras in there) and please let me know what's up with the read-only problem

It works now i confused some of the stuff with the Victorias Secret billboard

[Asmodeus 0]

Ooops! Sorry about that everyone! The read-only thing was due to Kaliyuga's cd burner... For some reason it does that to all files he burns...

As far as the missing addons for the mission... Very strange. Thought I took those out.. But I double checked the mission.sqm and did see those addons in the ECL Island one... The TaabMission one looked fine and should work. RIght?

I have uploaded the updated version where the files are not read only and the missions should be fixed. (same place)

http://www.everoncartel.com/news.htm

and then just click on the "downloads" link or the "get Taab now" button on the news page.

Also I have uploaded a zip with the 2 fixed missions in it, if that's all you need.

Thanks for the feedback on that stuff!

P.S. Never saw any of the newer Bond movies... Is that what you're referring to?

When will that kool looking sub come out?

[peanuckle_00 0]

Do you think you can make one of these bases shaped like an aircraft carrier? That way we could land jets on it!

[Asmodeus 0]

The sub is a project that we are still working on.  It definately won't be released until it is done, and probably not until our campaign using it is released...  

Thanks for the interest and compliments!  

About the aircraft carrier looking thingy you want...  There are some actual ones already in progress that I know of... I would wait for that if you want an aircraft carrier.  However, in the ECL_Island.intro sample mission, you will see a little to the North of the base you start in is a large runway that I have successfully landed and taken off of in an A10!

P.S. For those missions to work, you must have editor update 1.02 due to the fact that I setpos'd sandbags for the M2 machine guns as well as put warning signs in certain places....
