Apollo 0 Posted November 9, 2003 Actually ,it looks pretty good ,and especially: it looks like it was very hard to achieve. See that big black thing on theleft side? It's the tank turret that is ripped from the tank by the explosion.Superb. Now IMO ,that explosion isn't finished yet ,and it can use some change ,but by god it looks to have potential.

mr burns 132 Posted November 9, 2003 Apollo is right. Have you seen the Cauc.Explosion Videos yet ? Go to ofp.info or flashpoint.ru and download them..my heart almost stopped beating when i saw the turret flying off the M1A1...really impressive work ! Has nothing to do with giant spiders imo. The explosion on the MBT itself was ok, only the blast ring was missing (compared to a videofootage of a Javelin missile destroying a T72) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
munger 25 Posted November 9, 2003 LOL Oswald. But seriously, if the Caucasus crew really have found a way to blow the turrets off existing addons (which admittedly seems farfetched) they should be commended. The explosion really is way OTT though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Harkonin 0 Posted November 9, 2003 Definitely has potential, the turrets most lkely part of the addon where the original is swapped out for the destroyed version while that turret is created at orign and sent through the air. I'm looking forward to his myself and can't wait for the finished product. Then again i hear april/may of next year so I won't hold my breathe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Acecombat 0 Posted November 9, 2003 I thought that Tank Turret was a piano bcuz upside down it looks like one @Gold member dude , how much longer do u think till you and ECP merge ehe? i am dying to try you both out but i always have to leave something behind...

Milkman 1 Posted November 9, 2003 There is no reason goldmember should join ECP. His special effects are far superior to ECP's. Unless he joins them to improve on the scripts, it would just be a loss of talent otherwise... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pappy Boyington 0 Posted November 9, 2003 umm the 1.48 folder is empty? Name Type Size Last Modified Version1.48 folder 0 item 8-Nov-2003 that "other" explosion mod is cool.. if im making a movie.. but unfortunitly id rather just play a game and talking realizsum/gamewise..

KeyCat 131 Posted November 9, 2003 Goldmember, looks like you got competition: No offense to the Caucasus crew but IMHO the explosions shown above is way overdone! /Christer (a.k.a KeyCat) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He'll be contributing to us even more then by joining a JOINT community project which helps improve our OFP experience and show others how to at least co-operate on such stuff , instead of going lone rangers on each other and contradicting each othrs works. I would hope GMR sees my point in a positive manner and things with ECP come together. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
theavonlady 2 Posted November 9, 2003 Goldmember, looks like you got competition: No offense to the Caucasus crew but IMHO the explosions shown above is way overdone! I think it's way overdone if it's done every time. But if it can randomly be done a small percentage of the time, I think that would be a good idea that retains realism. As for GMR teaming up with ECP - why not?! It means one mod for everything wiith the best of both combined. No one said that merging the two means dropping GMRs effects. On the contrary! The whole purpose of the merger is to incorporate GMR into ECP from what I understand. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Harkonin 0 Posted November 9, 2003 Two things, not to belittle Gold's work but they are not "his" effects but actually a compilation of other's work. Next is the Caucus crisis explosions, they have a great potential if toned down a bit. After seeing those shots i slapped together a small script of my own here that looks a bit more realistic. Then again it is just a game. http://67.81.26.4:3000/vetserver/screens/comp.JPG http://67.81.26.4:3000/vetserver/screens/comp2.JPG Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

esti_the_big 0 Posted November 9, 2003 hi people, I'm new to this topic and somewhat confused. I'd like to xperience this mod ingame, but due to all those different files in that yahoo folder I don't know which one to download and to use. gernerally, I'd like to download the complete mod, and play the game in the end with blood effects and that explo mod. What file must I dl? And how do I install it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grizzlie 0 Posted November 9, 2003 I have question for military staff or serious Internet diggers about those flying M1 turret. As M1 has it's ammo stored in separate chamber of turret, build specially to disperse explosions, and i'm not sure if explosion of fuel can do it, have you seen on your own eyes or have you found pics of destroyed M1 without turret? @esti_the_big Check previous posts of goldmember, u will find address of yahoo briefcase and usr and pass - log in and d/l Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
benu 1 Posted November 9, 2003 There is no reason goldmember should join ECP. His special effects are far superior to ECP's. Unless he joins them to improve on the scripts, it would just be a loss of talent otherwise... "Loss of talent"? I guess this is the shittiest posting i have seen in this thread. What exactly would be wasted by joining mods? I only see gains for all sides. As Goldmember himself said in the other thread, the coding skill of the ecp crew is far superior to his. He could learn a lot. This "improving on his scripts" may be the most important part for a scripter. And both mods do similar things. No point in having two of those incompatible to each other when they could be merged. I think that Goldmembers sees it in a similar way as he is doing the same with dynamic range and inquisitors weapons anyway. And from the many complaints here i gather that he is not fully successful with it. ECP on the other hand have support for DR in their mod, even an improved DR, and it works fantastically. ECP seems to be more MP compatible too. I did not experience anyone crashing because of ECP. But i experienced crashes because of GMR. This can be circumvented by good coding. We get back to point one, Goldmember could learn a lot from the ECP people and make his mod even better. And last, i like ECP better. Mostly because the new DR version. I like how you can turn ANY efffect on or off or tweak their values to your tastes. I like not crashing in MP. I like DR above all, and the new version rocks even more. The bullet whizz effects are awesome too. I just read in the JAM thread a remark about the adrenaline kicking in when the bullets miss you.... well, talk about adrenalin when you hear tank shells flying past you. Give me one good reason why they should not join projects. Otherwise your posting is just bad mouthing ecp, which i think is one of the coolest projects for ofp.

goldmember 0 Posted November 9, 2003 I want that flying turret immediately! This is the best explosion effect idea recently. Is there an addonmaker who can cut any tank model into two parts, turret and rest? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
benu 1 Posted November 9, 2003 Only guessing here, but i do not think this is possible. Either you have to replace the tank with a "destroyed tank and blown off turret" model (which i guess has to be modeled for each tank separately or it will look the same for all of them) or you would have to make the tanks in two parts (hull and turret) and keep the turret on the tank with scripts (and how good THAT will work in MP we all know... "hey, a see a turret coming down that hill, the tank can't be too far away from it" ). And BTW: any statements about joining forces with ecp. As everyone agrees that your explosions look better the mod could benefit from your experience with those explosion effects Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Parvus 0 Posted November 9, 2003 *Ähmm* i think goldmember means the effect for example of the new Mi-28. If the vehicle will be crashed, they are e.g. two objects there. like this (ZAP-Schlitzer made it) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Konyak-2 0 Posted November 9, 2003 Flying turrets is one thing, overdone explosions is obviously a matter of taste. If it's indeed possible, it'd make for some interesting possibilities. Land mine encounters could result in the track blowing off that side of the tank. Speaking of which.. I know this is an exlpodmod, but now we have smoke coming from damaged aircraft at a certain damage level, so I'm thinking.. Tanks are divided up into damage zones, and perhaps this could make it possible for a track to come off while driving, if it has been damaged to a certain extent. That's the sort of thing that makes a mission interesting Tank would still work as a bunker of course.. Konyak Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigUzi 0 Posted November 9, 2003 Now theres an effect I would'nt mind having in the explosions mod. Blown off Turrets. BTW would it be poss to have the tank on fire and still have  it moving for a short time before it blows up that ok be very cool. BigUzi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
victorious 0 Posted November 9, 2003 hey goldmember i think you should enable your fly smoke effect again every time i try to do it i get a cant find gmo\XXXX\etc.... error measage in game, hey did you already put out 1.48 version? all i see is an empty folder i can harly wait to hear how the new dr+inq+blood+messy+smoker config is going to sound along with the tank shells maybe too real, also have you noticed the chopper smoke coming from the exuast on the ecp config you should impliment that it gives more realism to the choppers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
