DracoPaladore 0 Posted January 18, 2003 Well, I ask for something probobly quite strange, but will most likely fit into the OFP world. Well, if someones a resistance unit not payed or supplied by a major power, your going to have to scrounge and look for weapons and vehicles. In fact, you might have to add one to the other. Hence where I'm coming at. I ask, how about a beat up old pick-up truck with an MG attached to the back? It would fit in quite well, considering the FIA and Resistance dont get any funding. I think a good source would be from Black Hawk Down. During most fight scenes you would see Somalians riding in the back of such trucks or cars. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

People have been requesting technicals for ages now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DracoPaladore 0 Posted January 18, 2003 Well, it seems that people seem to be requesting more recent and high powered. I sometimes think that people are missing out on the low tech but high fun stuff Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest #### Posted January 18, 2003 Technicals would be the best. There is a script at Ofpec that allows you to add the M2 onto a vehicle to act like the jeep with MG. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peanuckle_00 0 Posted January 18, 2003 I am involved with some friends who are working on a technical now. It's going to be a toyota pickup with a machine gun on the back of it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

edc 0 Posted January 18, 2003 Its not quite what you asked for but there was a older jeep than the regular one released with some 8mm gun on it. Its real nice you can even fold the windows down on it. There is also a version w/o armerment. http://colonialwarmod.no.sapo.pt/news.htm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Acecube 0 Posted January 18, 2003 I also requested two low-tech selfmade vehicles for the resistance side. I have posted real-life pictures of these. These are two fighting vehicles out of the yugoslavian war (90ies). No one was interested in making these so I decided to get into addonmaking and make these myself. To get some practice I will make two rifles first. The situation in the croatian/yugoslavian war comes very close to the games "resistance" story. In the first days they used a whole lot of strange, funny and sometimes quite effective weapons and vehicles. Just to mention two. They fixed bombs made of water boilers to civil planes (crop dusters) to drop them on enemy installations and build "tanks" out of trucks and tractors. I personally like "civilian" weapons. So stay tuned ;-) see this thread! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest BratZ Posted January 18, 2003 If I made a pickup with a MG in back...It would have to be a Subaru Brat!!!! LOL just kidding Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Perhaps ask the SEB team if you can use their model. That would be the easiest thing to do. The 12.7mm DShK is what was most commonly mounted on "technicals" in Somalia.

Also, yes please put the SEB DshK MG on it, and if possible make a version with a recoilless rifle as well. Try to give the truck an old look, maybe by putting rust on the textures, and some bullet holes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Albert Schweitzer 10 Posted January 18, 2003 I want a OFP surfboat and a skateboard! Just thought I mention that here. If I may also mention here one thing then it is that there are several important vehicules still missing. I always asked myself why so much effort was wasted (not realy wasted, I know this might sound rude) to create unattractive models. One that could add new flavour to mission maybe in combination with a new map is the LCAC. A hoovercraft which is considered as highly effective and with great future potential. If you want a 1985 version then an modeller could still refer to the british versions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It would look very cool seeing that big hovercraft come up on short. However you could not transport vehicles in it under the current system. There actually already is a very cool Russian hovercraft addon that's even bigger then the LCAC. It's still in beta but is impressive. However it can only carry soldiers... no vehicles until BIS releases a patch to allow this or until they release OFP2 hopefully with this problem solved.

Albert Schweitzer 10 Posted January 18, 2003 Thank you, I can still learn a lot! Could you be so kind and inform me about the addon. What is the name, any download link?

drewb99 0 Posted January 19, 2003 Good use of scripts and EventHandlers could probably serve as a workaround to not having vehicles in other vehicles. Look at the MH47E v.1.1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Look at the MH47E v.1.1 <span id='postcolor'> There is a version 1.1 of the MH-47E? Â I wasn't aware of that. And they figured out how it can carry vehicles without the vehicles bouncing out of the helicopter or the vehicles causing the helicopter to crash??? Â If so I'll have to really check that out! Â That would be a breakthrough if someone figured out how to do that using either .cpp scripting or just using mission scripting. Edit: Ok I just checked and there is no version 1.1 of the MH-47E. Also as far as I can tell from info on their site, they have not figured out how to mount vehicles in the helicopter. I don't think that problem will be solved until BIS releases a patch to fix that or until they come out with OFP2 which hopefully will fix that problem.
