ICOL 0 Posted October 4, 2003 Hello all, I was just wondering how many people out there have modified existing addons but have never actually released them to the OPF community. The reason I ask is because I myself am guilty of this offence. Here are just a few of mine: Royal Air Force GR4 Tornado - 9, 14, 25 and 31 Squadrons Royal Air Force Seaking - Search and Rescue Royal Navy Seaking - Search and Rescue and LV US Navy F/A-18 Hornet - VFA-25, 115 and 195 US Navy A-4 Skyhawk - VFA 126 Aggressor Squadron If anybody is interested in seeing any of these addons then please feel free visting my rather crappy web site at: http://www.geocities.com/icol2399/INTRO.html However, I shall not release any addon without the consent of the true creator, who of course will take full credit. P.S. THANK YOU Gollum1 for the input and welcome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gollum1 0 Posted October 4, 2003 Hello all, I was just wondering how many people out there have modified existing addons but have never actually released them to the OPFOR community. Heh, this is the OFP community, not the OPFOR community. OFP = Operation Flashpoint OPFOR = Opposing Force (used as a designation for enemy forces, also the Half-Life expansion) I can see that you´re new here, welcome! Oh and your pics aren´t working...probably because you linked them to your harddrive! Best upload them to a site first. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AOCbravo2004 0 Posted October 5, 2003 umm I have taken INQ's make your own M4 pack and made an M4 RIS and M4A1 with an M68 CCO, also with and without an M203. I have also taken BAS' Covert Rangers and added a SF patch thus making an SF A-team. I made the Delta/Ranger pack JAM compliant, and have given some of the units the M4's with M68. I've also taken several weapon packs and made them JAM compatible. I am learning as much as I can in o2 from doing this. Hmm don't know what else I've changed. I've lost track.

BlueFlight 0 Posted October 8, 2003 hey any news on this? i find this very interesting  looks like a good job. I hope you get permission to release it ICOL. especially the skyhawk looks damn great! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GoOB 0 Posted October 8, 2003 Damn, you have pretty good texturing skills there man! Looks awesome Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
One 0 Posted October 9, 2003 i did some really basic shit that i probably will never ever release to the public, for 1. i have no skills and 2. i would never do that to the original makers unless they were totally down with it i actually edited the hk pack soldiers to get rid of that annoying german flag on the soldiers arms, not that i dont like germay, but just for the fact that they stuck out and looked akward - no offense lost brothers........it turned out that i was left with some modern resistance side looking soldiers that looked like a fully modern FIA with all kinds of cool shit. now everyones all about the fia being rustic, but i think it would be cool to see a modern Nogova National Army, and i use these edited soldiers whenever i feel it necessary. i also edited the configs back in the day of bimbis african milita to use jam, and i needed to fix a few more things but i never did because i heard they were already being updated, then BANG BAS releases OPFOR and crushes my 5 minutes of cpp editing fame i also did some other dumbass cpp editing like changing weapons to changing default drivers on certain vehicls, like sttdesertsolders in maac&marfys hummers and 5t truck, just basic shit like that all of this is rather pure useless and i only used for personal use of course, but now that i said it, i have a nice question: what would you all think of a modern Nogova National Army that might exist in 2003, rather than the 70's or 80's when the original campaigns were set in?

ICOL 0 Posted October 11, 2003 Yes mate I'm still here. I'm just in the process of trying to totally revamp the F-18 and Seakings. Plus I'm also trying to creating a modern day colour scheme for the Luftwaffe Tornado. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coporal_punishment 0 Posted October 11, 2003 Yes mate I'm still here. I'm just in the process of trying to totally revamp the F-18 and Seakings. Plus I'm also trying to creating a modern day colour scheme for the Luftwaffe Tornado. So will you release them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ICOL 0 Posted October 11, 2003 Yes I'll release them if people want me to. But first I'll need to get permission from the various creators. Please don’t expect them to be great, I’m no texture artist. All I have done is tweaked the existing textures. The A4 for example is 99.9% still Colonel Klink's work. All I did was change the colour scheme and added a few new logos here and there. In essence Colonel Klink will still take the vast majority of the credit.

BlueFlight 0 Posted October 19, 2003 ICOL, do you have any news or new screenies for us? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stag 0 Posted October 19, 2003 Welcome to the forum, Icol. From your pics, you've done some good work, and it's worth releasing. But make sure you get the permission of the original creators, and at least mention them in the readme, or the hair-trigger mob will be all over you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted October 19, 2003 Yes for sure I've tweaked addons for personal use. Scripts etc....just little things the creator missed, or changes to fit a certain situation. Not many, but a few addons. I would never release any of them because of permissions, but also compatability reasons. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ozanzac 0 Posted October 20, 2003 http://www.geocities.com/icol2399/OPF/A41.gif Wow, that's awesome texturing, I'm really impressed. I wonder if Col. Klink still has a working contact. It would be a shame to see such work go to waste. In the mean time, make sure you put your work onto a CD-R, just in case the undesireable happens! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ICOL 0 Posted October 23, 2003 Cheers guys for all the great feed back. Just to let you know that I have totally re-textured the F/A 18 and would appreciate any comments. This is beacuse I'm considering retextureing the Tornado in a similar way to the F/A 18 (using pivots instead of just straight lines. If you see the 1st pic on my web page then you may understand what I mean). I got the pivot idea from BAS's Blackhawk and it works a treat. The pivots only really become visable when you get close to the model, so the rest of the time all you see is a dark line. Anyway, I've posted some more pics up at my web site and hope that you will take a look. I'm hoping that the more support I can generate the easier it will be for the original creators to let me release these reskins. Cheers ICOL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hellfish6 7 Posted October 23, 2003 Wow! They look great. I hope you get permission to release them. Have you thought about retexturing some of Footmunch's aircraft? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ICOL 0 Posted October 26, 2003 Hi Hellfish Thanx for your comment. In answer to your question, I have retextred only one of Footmunch's wonderful aircraft. The aircraft I choose to retexture was his F-5 Tiger, which I have now done in a USN "Top Gun" Green/Grey colour scheme. There are a couple of pic's up at my web site, however they are not the best.
