attilauk 0 Posted May 21, 2003 Just a quick point about the strobes, i have absolutely no idea about the military usage of them but I am a trained Commercial Scuba diver and we use strobes when working at night.  We use strobes to signal an emergency to the dive supervisor, we usually mount them either on the shoulder of our Buoyancy Control Device or on the top strap of an aga mask.  The reasons for them being mounted here is twofold: 1. When you surface unless something is really wrong your head is the highest point out of the water! 2 When you're hanging on to an unconscious buddy, trying to strip your fins off, ditch your weight belt, talk on the radio and check that you aren't going to run out of air you don’t want to be having to wave a torch around at the same time! I appreciate that this is just the commercial usage of these strobes but don’t forget that seals are still divers and are just as likely to have the same problems as any commercial or recreational diver! Keep up the great work lads im well impressed with everything you have produced so far and the screenshots for the new stuff have absolutely blown me away!

Sxep 0 Posted May 21, 2003 I really have a big wish to BAS, could you guys put a machinegun on one of "your" Bikes? Because in every movie with Motorcycles there is atleast one guy, whose riding and shooting at the same time. this should be posible.. the Bikes are just modified Cars (in config) am i right? You guys did a simular thing to the littlebird ah-6? i think its the correct name This would be a really cool effect don´t you think? Mybe an HK or an m16 or even one of your Delta/ranger pack weapons? Would really be fun, so you can fight with style Hope you keep this idea in mind Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sxep 0 Posted May 21, 2003 As silly as this idea sounds but please gimmi an reply if you know something. You could really bring some action in some missions with that! I made my self a mission with your BAS bikes in the A2 map (desert) Boy was priddy kewl.. i was an russian soldier and i was hiding in the dunes, waiting for an convoy to ambush. i send the bikes on fullspeed to random waypoint towards the desert..man 1 was jumping right infront of me (over the dune) 10 sec later the next jumped over me from right side...man i should have made a screen lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest jacobaby Posted May 21, 2003 Thanks for the ideas on the SEALs, but dont worry, everything is in hand. Without a decent ship to board it seems pointless including a boarding ability for the bigger ships, although I do have some sketchy ideas which are being thrown about. What would interest me is knowing whether players would prefer the BAS SEALs to be compatible with CoC swimming thing.?? TJ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GoOB 0 Posted May 21, 2003 I'd rather have BAS make their own swimming script/system, but if that's not possible make it CoC compatible. Since it seems everything other people did BAS has refined, and some things BAS done other people refined, but BAS has done the best in scripting so far so that's why i am for a BAS made swimming script just for the SEAL's and other amphibious unit's you may produce in the future. That's my opinion on the matter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TJ<span id='postcolor'> yay, that´d be cool at least it would be a solution until there are better scripts available... but the CoC scripts seem pretty perfect to me i´d say: just use their script, put in their rebreather in the pack and there we go (dive) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest jacobaby Posted May 22, 2003 Its like this. We (I) already had plans to make the seals swimmable, I had a "diving car" set up and the technique is exactly what CoC did. CoC beat us to it fair and square, and good luck to them for it. Actually it save us a lot of testing etc which is a big boon at this busy time.. My current thinking is to NOT have the SEALS compatible with any outside scripts, as they are set apart unit, and not some who would readily share their equipment with somebody else. SO, what extra features if any would you care to see, or anything to take away etc? How is the CoC swimmer behaving in MP? TJ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eau_ranger 0 Posted May 22, 2003 CoC Divers work wonderfully in Multiplayer! Â Everything works just as it does in Single. Only "extra feature" I can think of is the ability to "throw" a strobe light (either SDU-5E or MS2000 version). Â At night, flares just don't cut it for showing your location to extraction aircraft. Â It would also be great to designate targets for attack aircraft (watch Blackhawk Down ). Also, (this is more of a question than a feature), does the OFP engine support functional tactical lights on weapons? Other than that, keep up the good work!

Schoeler 0 Posted May 22, 2003 Have two options for swimming, swimming submerged, and swimming with head out of the water. Also try to add the ability to board a zodiac for fast water extractions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
theavonlady 2 Posted May 22, 2003 If CoC's swimming standards meet those required for BAS, I would hope that's what would be used. I wouldn't want to see these swimming abilities going the way of rotordust scripts, with several out there. Do away with redundancy! Both CoC and BAS are dependable, reliable and established teams. Once again, who knows what goodies the future might bring to our benefit by this affiliation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GoOB 0 Posted May 22, 2003 Yeah what she said A cooperation would benefit the community and the add-on makers. @Schoeler, i dont know if this is right but i think if you want the diving "vehicle" to function like a boat (having some parts above water) It will have those blue flurries after it, or can you set that in o2/CPP?

hellfish6 7 Posted May 23, 2003 Has the auto fire sound glitch been fixed with the new SEALS? That was the only negative with the Rangers and Delta. What glitch was that? I can probably tell you... (bleh. 1338 posts, signature was short-lasting) It was a glitch on autofire - maybe it's because of my computer - but whenever I fired any weapon on auto, it would stutter a bit. Like the indivudual shot sounds were not complete before the next shot sound began. I don't have this problem with any other weapons except the BAS ones.

ZLOY 0 Posted May 23, 2003 hmm.....I thaught this sound bug was introduced in 1.85 or something, cause I get that glich whenever I fire some weapon on full auto, and that hapens with all the weapons in OFP (even the standard BIS ones...)......... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the_unknown_one 0 Posted May 23, 2003 yeh, i get that with the machine guns sometimes. It fires WAY too fast and it sounds like clicking instead of firing, and thus degrades my gameplay experience. Â the_unknown_one Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
