~Too Tall~ 0 Posted March 11, 2003 "Gandalf from 21st Viking Battalion sent us their new addon 21vbCargo using nice scripts. It's a cargoaddon, where you can use 33 vehicles to move more than 130 pieces of cargo, either by sling, or by loading it into the cargocompartments of the cargovehicles, and you can eject cargo from choppers using 4 unsteerable parachutes as you can see on picture. It's quite exhaustive because every cargo is defined with a weight, vehicules by a space and weight capacity, etc. It works in SP and MP, OFP ver 1.90. More than never make sure that you read the txt and docs " Source:www.ofp.info Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
STS_SolidSnake 0 Posted March 11, 2003 Very nice http://ssjsolidsnake.free.fr/Cargo.JPG it works smoothly, but you must be real precise Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
~Too Tall~ 0 Posted March 11, 2003 it says u can "load" cargo on i cant figure out how to do that(after reading the readme) oh well. ill go back to draging an M113 along the ground leveling everything in sight lol WRECKING BALL ATTACK!!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JAP 2 Posted March 11, 2003 I m not finding the cargoobjects Or am i looking in the wrong place Where r they ? i only get the vehicles, not the cargo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
~Too Tall~ 0 Posted March 11, 2003 the cargo is pretty much anything from the edirot update 102. like place a BIS ammo crate near the helo and fly over it...err hover over it and it will give u the option to pick it up Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JAP 2 Posted March 11, 2003 Well, it doesnt  So there is no special menu in the editor for the objects then ? /edit Just tested with a whole different load of objects. And i dont get any option to pick something up. I m using 1.91 and i have NO regular addonsfolder.  So i put all my addons in Res\addon.  Works good so far with other addons. I put an empty V21vehicle on the map, placed some ammoboxes, humvee, brdm, etc but when i hoover over or place chopper next to it i dont get any extra command in my menu. Whats wrong, damn i loved to use this in my missions  /EDIT 2 NEVERMIND !! I found it. Thx solidsnake, the "very precise" thing did it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JAP 2 Posted March 11, 2003 There is one doc with the addon with all the vehicles on it. That doc points out where that specific vehicle is loaded. To the left, back, etc. For putting vehicles on the rope make sure you are above 5m height and with the side specified for that vehicle in the document and the action will appear in the menu. Solidsnake, the readme wasnt too clear about that, so no need for the bold "read the readme" msg ! I read it 5-6 times and still couldnt figure it out. Admit it, you just got lucky !

<>Crippler<> 0 Posted March 11, 2003 I only seem to be able to get it to work if I start with a cargo chopper on the ground then get out and back in again, fly to the object, THEN try to pick the objects up/load them. Crippler Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

furia 10 Posted March 11, 2003 Well this is one reason more to have a good C-130 plane  This new add on just came really timely but it is missing real cargo planes on the avalaible cargo vehicles. Can this be solved? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dirt 0 Posted March 11, 2003 I had no problem with it. I start off mission outside empty V21 chopper. When I get in, the script runs. I wait for it to vanish off the screen, take off and fly off a little ways and come back to the object I want to pickup. Hove over it about 6 meters and in the menu it tells me to pickup. To load cargo like ammo, I do the same but hover over the object about 1 meter and I get the menu to load cargo. Works great, you guys did it again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
