Matthijs 40 Posted May 16, 2003 Units have an unspecific nationality. They may be used as SEAL, SBS, Froedmanskorpset, Kust Jaeger, or any other swimming unit. Frogmen are amongst the most illustrious of modern combat units in the Special Operations field. It's no wonder names like "Navy SEAL" and "Special Boat Squadron" bring to mind images of daring reconnaissance, rescue, and sabotage missions, deep within enemy territory, deploying from land, sea, or air. The Chain of Command is proud to present to you a fully functional combat diver for Operation Flashpoint: Resistance. Features The Chain of Command's mission is "To Develop a dynamic and realistic battlefield for platoon/company/battalion-sized conflicts within Operation Flashpoint by advancing the Operation Flashpoint game engine to its max." Picking up on Walker's original wetsuit-addon, the combat diver has the characteristics of a "normal" SpecOps unit. Combat divers however, are trained in deployment using the LAR VII rebreather, which enables them to approach any shore unnoticed. After getting on land, they will be able to put the rebreather in a safe spot, or carry it with them during the mission. IMPORTANT NOTE: AI HAS PROBLEMS USING SWIMMING EQUPMENT. We from CoC cannot guarantee the safety of you or your team, if you let AI control combat swimmers. [ DOWNLOAD COMBAT SWIMMER ADDON ] The following download is a test-mission, not yet ready for release, but it might be valuable to mission makers/scripters. It contains (besides some bugs) a very simple AI helper, that lets AI follow the first human player in a group. [ DOWNLOAD BETA DEMO MISSION ] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest BratZ Posted May 16, 2003 Wow sweeeeeeeetttt !! Â Thanx guys , but is that King Kong diver coming outta the water? LOL just picking Where is a BFG when u need one ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LaPoi 0 Posted May 16, 2003 Cool!!!!!! And just after I came home. Talk about a GOOD DAY! By the way, what is it under, I can't find it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GoOB 0 Posted May 16, 2003 Excellent work guys! And i thought that the OFP community was taking a rest. Great work! One thing though: The demo mission needs some sort of readme, were do i put all these SQS's and so on? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HotShot 0 Posted May 16, 2003 Can someone post an example MP mission? Me and another guy are both trying to find the extra script needed for the swim system to work in MP, but have yet to find what to type. we saw the script at the bottom of the Swim System Documentation you released, but just dont ahve a clue what we're doing Ince we get it working, this will rock HotShot. Oh and here's another downlaod link from OFPBase: OFPBase Download Link Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
engen 0 Posted May 16, 2003 Very nice! These, together with the Strb 90H will make for some fine A-dyk missions! Splendid work lads. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GoOB 0 Posted May 16, 2003 Great work as usual CoC! One thing puzzles me though, after the divers get out of the water (AI) they behave quite wierd running about in circles and so. But in the water they do just fine, any clues to what this might be? Also they stop behaving "wierd" once i tell them to drop their rebreathers. Great work folks! This with the MH47E's fastroping makes it great to play! (Not too realistic with a MH47E dropping e'm off though) But great nonetheless! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What I think that happens is that AI sees itself at the shoreline and its pathfinding freaks out, thinking it will die then and there. The dropping of an items makes the unit stop, probably resetting the pathfinding algorithm. It's not uncommon for divers to disembark from helicopters, either jumping out or disembarking with the helicopter landing on the water. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GoOB 0 Posted May 16, 2003 Ah yes but it was actually that the AI had troubl not using the equipment, great job. And the navy doesn't use the MH47E does it since that was what i meant with it being unrealistic, deploying SEAL's from a MH47E. Good job and keep it up!

walker 0 Posted May 16, 2003 Hi all Just to say the AI problems revolve around using the Car sim which fears water. The other possible Simulations are Ship: Problem BIG WAKES looks ugly Tank: Problem small wakes no good for a rebreather but we are making a scuba version, this has no AI problems. Â Beleve me when I say we worked on ways to beat this for months and that is excluding work on making the vehicle man portable. I have had missions based on our work now for 8 months but we needed to try out all posibilities the Combat Divers and the Scuba Divers are the result of a lot of research. Kind Regards Walker Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
silent_64 0 Posted May 16, 2003 Great job! Fantasic. I can see it, a Seahawk droping 4 SEAL's and then makeing a 180 turn fireing two torpedoes then the SEAL's move in to finish the job! PS. No SEAL's Danish frogmen (FrÅ™(oe)mands korpset) is better Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Matthijs 40 Posted May 17, 2003 An MP mission with swimming, for testing purposes. Note that this mission has no briefing, intro, obectives or outro. Just an example of how to implement swimming in MP. My machine is also bitching about "MISSION ADDON: BIS_RESISTANCE". I have no clue what causes this, I only know it's not caused by the swimmers. http://mods.kmarns.net/download/MP_swimtest.Noe.zip Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
