Jackal326 1158 Posted June 11, 2003 http://sjb.ofprc.net/SJB_NVG/ showcases the secret project SJB has been working on for about a month now. The public BETA is ready for download, and last time I checked the AAE (Addons At Ease) thread, this addon was AAE compliant. As such, it comes in the form of a Windows *.MSI installer with a single player mission. Check out the site, and download it. Feedback is requested ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Landwarrior87 0 Posted June 11, 2003 WOAW!!! BAS do this and give us the kool MOST MODERN night vision goggles on rangers!!.. all in all great job jackal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GoOB 0 Posted June 11, 2003 Very nice, i love it Too bad there is no way around the "warping" though.... that really gets to me sometimes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
miles teg 1 Posted June 11, 2003 Wow! Â This is excellent! Â Finally another barrier broken! I really hope that you allow BAS to use this NVG system on their next update to the Delta/Ranger addon. Â However I'd love even more to see a current issue AN/PVS-7 night vision monocle. Â I believe this is the same (or very similar) model my old unit used to clip on to our helmets during night time driving, recon, and LP/OP training. Â Here's a pic below of the PVS-7's. Â Oh... also I noticed some major texture bugs on this addon. Â At 25 meters, the heads of the soldiers turn into big white blocks. Â Also sometimes just the goggles by themselves turn white and around the waist area sometimes it looks like they're wearing a white belt at about 10 meters distance. Â Finally there is a transparent area between the neck and shoulders where you can see right throught he soldier. Â But other then that these units are very good. Â They make for great CIA paramilitary operatives or whatever covert force you want for almost any country... speaking of which I think I may stick FAMAS rifles on them and make them French Foreign Legion special ops for a FFL mission I'm working on. Once the texture/model bugs are fixed on this addon I think it'll be perfect! Â Chris G. aka-Miles Teg<GD> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

miles teg 1 Posted June 11, 2003 By the way. Does anyone know what the script is to raise and lower the SJB NVG's??? I'd like to make a mission where the soldiers start off with the NVG's down. Chris G. aka-Miles Teg<GD> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jackal326 1158 Posted June 11, 2003 Sorry, I meant to include such information in the readme.txt Anyway, if you place the following code in your unit's INIT line, the goggles should be down when the mission starts. <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">this animate ["CovertNVG", 1] In contrast, if you use <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">this animate ["CovertNVG", 0] after that in the mission (in a trigger for example, substituting "this" with the unit's name) then it will raise the goggles again.

InQUisiToR 0 Posted June 11, 2003 Installation is very stupid. My Flashpoin is a big Mod and so i can´t install this addon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jackal326 1158 Posted June 11, 2003 Hey, don't blame me, take it up with BIS who designed the AAE interface etc. Perhaps I will upload a .zip version tomrrow with just the readme.txt the .PBO and the mission file in it, so people like yourself with many mod folders can download.

Koolkid101 0 Posted June 11, 2003 Change the place where it installs, and just manually place the addon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
miles teg 1 Posted June 11, 2003 Yup that's what I did. It's not that hard to do. I also prefer just a ZIP or RAR file, but it's just takes an extra minute or two to copy and paste the .pbo file into all my different mod folders that might require this addon. By the way Jackal thanks for the script! Much appreciated. Chris G. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Small correction in your script... it should be: this animate ["CovertNVG", 1] or this animate ["CovertNVG", 0] The difference is that there are only a single set of quotation marks. Â With double quotation marks it gave me an error. Anyhoo... no biggie. I just wanted to clarify that before anyone else tried it out. I hope that you get the texture bugs worked out soon because so far it's really looking nice. Also, I would highly recommend that you put a headset mic on them since they are Special Ops soldiers. It doesn't have to be anything fancy. Just an earpiece on one side and mic attached to the earpiece. Chris G. aka-Miles Teg<GD> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jackal326 1158 Posted June 11, 2003 I apologise again, I took that from the Config.cpp (which I converted to a Config.bin for the release), which requires the double set of "s to recognise the command. Edited in my previous post. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
InQUisiToR 0 Posted June 11, 2003 No, that is not the problem. All files and folders in my flashpoint directory are modified. The installer gives me only a error message "the setup wizard found problems with your operation flashpoint instalation". But i found a solution: You can open the "SJB Covert Operative (PUBLIC BETA) OFP Addon.msi" with WinRAR and extract the files manually. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stgn 39 Posted June 11, 2003 I would also like a zip/Rar file because I can't use MSI files. STGN Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jackal326 1158 Posted June 11, 2003 Due to the high demand for a .ZIP file format, one will be uploaded sometime tomorrow (Thursday) containing an updated version (v1.1) fixing the texture bugs, as well as the "hole" visible in the model in several of the LODs. An updated version of the .MSI will also be uploaded. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Landwarrior87 0 Posted June 11, 2003 this mite be a question but how do u add this to other SJB or BAS Ranger guys? and btw, jackal i liked your Special Ops guys.. i just wished they had helmets and chinstraps instead of boonie hats.. any updates in the near future?

At present, it can only be used by the one unit that is added to the editor. I am still working on ways to have it so other units can use it. On another note, yes, an update for my SRT Pack is planned, but no date is set as other projects keep distracting me :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
