miles teg 1 Posted January 16, 2003 Here is what Capt. Ryan says (in a strange way) at: http://www.ofpww2.dk/ _ "The WW2 Team has closed ! Due to the behavior and as a result of some persons lack of responsibility and loyalty to the WW2 team we unfortunately had to close the team . CAPT Ryan will however not let the work or the missions done go lost , therefor will the missions be released as soon as the Invasion 1944 releases their work and the required troops and equipment are available to the community . Capt Ryan apologize for the promises not kept on behave of the team, but also point his finger at the persons who brought the team into this position , thanx very much for letting the team and the community down and making me spend so many hours of work for nothing ! Capt Ryan WW 2 Adventures will return soon with the Normandy missions." __ That's such a shame. The WWII Team had so much promise. I hope that it's individual members still eventually release some of the addons that they were working on. That first U.S. and German infantry pack was pretty good except for the lack of Oxygen made weapons and new models for their soldiers. I was really looking forward for their updated version of that pack. But I guess it won't happen. At least we still have the Invasion 1944 MOD team and a few other freelancers who are doing great work on WWII mods and who have good sites (like Stoppelhopser and his wonderful WWII soldier addons). By the way anyone here from Marcel? He used to make great WWII mods and did fairly quick work...but not a peep from him in a long time.

Guest BratZ Posted January 16, 2003 That is a major bummer.Luckily work continues on my WW2 warplanes and I can promise you a fleet of WW2 planes coming. I plan to do a few from each country and I would like to join a WW2 modteam,appears that prospect is diminishing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vade_101 0 Posted January 16, 2003 Marcel (Mars911) is working with the Invasion '44 team now i believe. And the chaps at the World War II Engineer Centre seem to be a similar loose confederation of ww2 addon makers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
theavonlady 2 Posted January 16, 2003 Yes but there are lots of other site that seem to be picking up the work. Take a look at WWIIEC, for example and Invasion 1944, of course. EDIT: What Vade said! While we're on the subject, has anyone fixed the German or US WWII soldiers so that they don't look all white when seen from a distance in a mission? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FW200 0 Posted January 16, 2003 Yeah almost all the members of WW2 Team have joined other mod teams So there is no problem.. I even think this year will be the best year for WW2 mods.. with the release of i44 (demo atleast.. also think full version0 and units from IEG , WW2EC , Allies in Arms and many other talented unit creators...

theavonlady 2 Posted January 16, 2003 I wish the I44 mini demo would have included a full array of soldiers, not just rifleman and grenadiers. Then we could start demonstrating some quite impressive infantry missions right away. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest BratZ Posted January 16, 2003 And what planes were they making? My Helldiver is just about done,and I have already started on a Corsair F4U and a Hawker Hurricane and I need to squeeze a Jap plane in there somewheres soon.I'd hate to do a plane that someone is working on.The F4U I don't mind and I wanna do a nice one anyways.If someone is making other nations planes....I have specs and blueprints for ALL US WW2 warplanes and I could continue with just the US warplanes first.

OxPecker 0 Posted January 17, 2003 Soulassassin, don't get me wrong, I really hope you do get you mod happening, but I'm basing my gloomy forecast on past efforts of most total conversions for OFP. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would suggest that modmakers at least should release an alpha version to the public since it will show everyone that they are on the right track, and also so that people offer suggestions.

Guest Posted January 17, 2003 Oh they are doomed. You have said so, and you must be right. So lets stop even bothering. Close the forums down. Why bother? Stop now. You're wasting your time, didn't you know? OxPecker told you so. He must be right. OxPecker. Stop playing OFP and go away. In the meantime we shall finsh our mods and be playing them. You can go get ******* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OxPecker 0 Posted January 17, 2003 Whatsa matter Leone, somebody stick a thumb up your ass? Â Its my opinion and I'll stick to it. Prove me wrong by putting out a toal conversion mod, not by shooting your mouth off. I play OFP all the time with no need for total conversion mods (not that I wouldn't like to see one - try reading my other post above), so I will keep playing if that's honkey dorey with you. Oh, and you can say fucked BTW. --- USMC sniper, I meant in regards to OFP. It is a much more complex and involved game than FPS like UT and Quake 3. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pzvg 0 Posted January 17, 2003 Ox, don't sweat the kiddies, it's a dead giveaway as to their own level of thought when they get ugly so quickly. <any of you that don't like that,deal with it, after all it is YOUR problem> Ox may not be right, but he's not far from wrong, the problem is total conv take so much time and effort and resources that natural selection goes to work. If 1/5th of the mods out there actually make it, it would be a banner year for the ENTIRE mod community period, Anybody who doubts that hasn't been doing it long enough, or merely likes the contrarian point of view.

theavonlady 2 Posted January 17, 2003 The things that are going well for this mod are: 1. Cooperation between various teams. If they can all work together, share ideas and mutually contribute, the job will more likely get done. 2. OFP's original 3 islands seem almost naturally for WWII scenarios. With the exception of maybe road signs and metal fences, everything else seems to fit in. Nogova less so. 3. Just the addons alone make for great gameplay. As such, no code modifications are really necessary to use them in OFP. I'll be a bit more optimistic on this one. Don't give up! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RMATICH 0 Posted January 17, 2003 Yes. I second AvonLady's post. I do believe it will go well. I really really want that Normandy D-day stuff from the WW2 Engineers site that Avon posted. I have you guys bookmarked and will be checking to see if you get those soldiers fixed. I want my "D-day" also. Thats a must make for most OFP players and mission makers. Just give us the map, soldiers, guns, etc. and we will create our own playable SPR. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I second AvonLady's post.

That mod will also need a new WRP world to make scenes more realistic, though available dessert maps are good for some of the historical scenarios. The official islands are almost useless for that mod. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
