Postduifje 0 Posted June 20, 2003 Great, downloading right now. Only at 5%, but I have some time left while I'm learning for my exams (asif that'll still happen after I finish downloading ). Sure, it'll be excellent work guys! -Post Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hovmand 0 Posted June 20, 2003 - Soundtrack feat. Finnish rock band 'Airut' and few classical tracks. What? No HIM? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blake 0 Posted June 20, 2003 HIM would have been a costly affair Anyway Airut songs are new and unknown to many which is good. I'm sure you love the music. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Baphomet 0 Posted June 20, 2003 I've a question about it before I download. Is it all just smashed into one big gigantic PBO? Or can you with a level of reasonability since it's so large and I'm assuming some addons will have their dependencies (units/weapons, etc) pick certain pbo files and just fiddle around with the individual units? Some of it looks neat. However I'm not sure sure I want to have to use the whole package to just fiddle around with some neat toys. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

However I'm not sure sure I want to have to use the whole package to just fiddle around with some neat toys. All weapons are in their own pbo, so are all air-units, vehicles, config, finnish units, russian units, markers, sounds and so on.. We made it modular on purpose.. If something big should appear, it's easier to patch it like this.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Koolkid101 0 Posted June 20, 2003 AHH ITS FINALLY DONE AND ITS AWESOME, BUT I GET NO SOUND!!!! I CAN ONLY HEAR A LITTLE BIT EVEN WITH MY SPEAKERS CRANKED UP Do I have too many addons? I deleted a huge map and now it works Its way awesome! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
miles teg 1 Posted June 20, 2003 I just hope I have enough RAM to run this thing when using it in a seperate mod folder. It's a long download even for my DSL connection. But it sounds like a cool mod. So far I've been very pleased with the other large national mods like the BOH mod, the Swedish Defense Force mod and the North Korean mod. This FDF mod however seems to be one of the most ambitious national mods to date, and even though I'm a Yank, I imagine I'll still have a lot of fun with this mod. Was the FDF in Kosovo by the way? It might be fun to make some peacekeeping missions with them combined perhaps with the Swedish Defense Force addons and the Danish Marines... well if those addons push my RAM over the limit anyways. Also I hope that any of the addons in here that are derived from other existing addons will give proper credit to the original addon makers. 77% so far.... can't wait to give this mod a good work out!

Postduifje 0 Posted June 20, 2003 Got it installed, and played with it for a while, and I must say: it is great! nice layout, and incredible new units. I haven't tried the missions yet, but that'll come. Great work! This is really high quality. -Post Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

benu 1 Posted June 20, 2003 Why a new main executable? I guess partly you need it to load the sound and voice subfolders of the modfolder (afaik only addons, dta, bin and campaigns can be loaded via -mod= parameter), but are there any other changes to the executable? And if so, what has been changed? Is it possible to use the addons with the normal executable or are some needed dependies in the sound and voices folders or something else that will make it not work with the normal executable? Is it possible to put the modfolder elsewhere (i have all my mods in a folder called mods, so something like fdfmod.exe -mod=mods\finmod would be cool) or it the path hardcoded into the executable as the res folder is in the resistance executable?

freddern 0 Posted June 20, 2003 OH MY GOD. It's just so great!!!!! The Finnish military should pay you and bis and get this as a simulator. My god. Everything is just so well done. I have so far played trough the first mission (fly like a bird something...) What a good feeling. Activated the bombs exactely when the tanks were over them and watched my team take them really out. I got goosebumbs in the intro. Fhuw... As I always has said: En god stund tilbake var vi alle en stor gjeng med ville vikinger. Best addonpack so far!!!!

And if so, what has been changed? The FDFmod.exe only launches FlashpointResistance.exe with the correct mod parameter and then exits. Some paths in the mod require that you keep the mod file directory named "finmod" or you will propably at least lose all sounds and voices... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And if so, what has been changed? New executable is only for users who might not be familiar with how to edit their shortcuts and use -mod parameter. Practically all new executable does is to add -mod=finmod parameter to command line before executing flashpointresistance.exe. Quote[/b] ]Is it possible to use the addons with the normal executable or are some needed dependies in the sound and voices folders or something else that will make it not work with the normal executable? Well, I'm running FDFMod with normal shortcut, just using parameters -mod=hisky;finmod -nosplash. So nothing fancy there. However addons do not work without -mod parameter since they depend on changes in game's main config.cpp. So you can't just place them into regular addons folder. Quote[/b] ]Is it possible to put the modfolder elsewhere (i have all my mods in a folder called mods, so something like fdfmod.exe -mod=mods\finmod would be cool) Se Kegetys' answer above.
