Move everything you need for Vietnam missions to a Vietnam -mod addons folder and create a desktop shortcut that references the mod folders. 2. Test this out and tell us if it works: Manually define an Addons folder and see if OFP recognizes addons that are in it. Keep us posted.

This would be uselfull info for other players. About the crash, you may have only yourself to blame. After all, the SEB Nam Pack is renowned for its crashes.

Eviscerator 0 Posted January 27, 2003 it still loaded all the ofp/res/addons, although i suppose it could have been because it was using a shortcut of resistance (copied my dynamic range stuff and used it as a template, changed names/overwrote the addons folder etc), i dont have the time to do it again, but if you want an ofp with no ofp/addons folder you would need to install 1.00 then 1.75 then 1.91 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

theavonlady 2 Posted January 27, 2003 Another suggestion about crashes. Someone else found that their crashes on certain missions stopped after they discovered an old version of the Ia Trang Island PBO in their addons folders and removed it. So, if anyone is crashing and they have old versions of Ia Trang Island or maybe SEB Nam Pack 1 addon files, try removing them, restarting OFP and see if that resolves the problem.

John C Flett 0 Posted January 27, 2003 Very small cosmetic suggestion. In the mission where you're checking trucks and cars, Gatekeeper I think, shouldn't at least some of the drivers be Vietnamese? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
theavonlady 2 Posted January 27, 2003 I'll look into Gatekeeper. What are they? Russians? OFP's civilians? Also, someone's brought to my attention that mission 10b, Beach Head, has completely messed up triggers. Maniana! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

theavonlady 2 Posted January 28, 2003 Version 2.28 is available for download from the M.O.M. section of The FAQ. <span style='color:red'>IMPORTANT!</span> 1. The contact information in the README file has been updated. Please read carefully. 2. As can be seen below in Summary of Changes, mission 10.b, Beach Head, went through a major overhaul. I would like to ask of as many of you as possible to beta test the mission to determine if there are any errors remaining that make the mission unplayable or prevent it from completing successfully. TIA. Summary of Changes: 2.28. Logic in mission 10b, Beach Head, was totally incorrect. Mission failed sensors were triggered, even though the beach was taken. Objective 2 town to northwest is totally unoccupied and there is no completion trigger when town is captured. Mission totally revamped. Briefing was not displaying plan text.Corrected. 2.28. Civilians in mission 13, "Gate Keeper", changed from standard OFP civilian units to ones from SEB Nam Pack 2. Corrected grammar and spelling errors as well. Corrected a win trigger to mark mission objective as completed when mission successful. 2.28. Various grammatical and spelling errors corrected in mission 7, "Ethics".

John C Flett 0 Posted January 29, 2003 Mission 15 - Guard tower; ends as soon as the enemy tank is spotted. Mission 18 - Spec Ops; the intro stays on my sniper in the forest, it won't end unless I press the space bar.

joltan 0 Posted January 29, 2003 For all that have problems with the correct installation of the nam pack - you can get an installer here. Installs everything in a seperate mod directory and provides the desktop shortcut to start it. Also features an uninstaller. The shortcut say 'OFP with Vietnam and SES addons' - thats because we did the installer for our squad mates who have our addons pack in another mod folder. Ignore that and name it whatever you like, it works without our addons and it does only install the SEB-Nampack 2. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
