Bas tonal-tango pack

b/c the victory conditions do not trigger.

now they do with 1.94. It was a OFP saving error of killed eventhandelrs I think.

Hmm Cassie did you make the sound tracks for BAS isle?

One question i really wanted to ask was why did you use Quotes from the Quran in the song?  

What's wrong with using quotes from the Quran in music?  

Sure, most people here don't understand it (unless they're Muslim), but it sounds very beautiful.   I imagine that the simplest explanation is that almost all the samples of Arabic singing that you can find on the net are almost entirely of verses of the Quoran being sung.  

The only other stuff that I ever run across is occassionally some Rumi poetry being sung in Turkish.... but that has a different sound then most Arabic styles of singing.  

I know some Muslims are completely against the words of the Quoran being put to music, but I would challenge them to find a verse in the Quoran that states specifically that the words can not be put to music.  

Anyways, I like how Cassie used the Arabic samples.  It adds alot more atmosphere to the music and the game I think.

I just wish there were more African drum rhythms in the music.

No that wasnt my point i just wanted to know whether she put it in deliberately or just thought of it as normal arabic.

Arabic songs are a different thing and Quran being 'Recited' is a different thing perhaps you didnt knew that so i'll give you the benefit of doubt on that.

And yes Quran being used in songs is not a likeable thing , BUT its due to reasons if the song is full of reason nice and promotes something nice and peaceful its ok but if it turn out to be vulgar like we usually see such songs with nothing but the word **** in it ( i guess you understand?) then its wrong.

Offtopic though so sorry.

Yes, of coarse I know the difference between the Quran recitations and regular Arabic music. I was born in Iran, lived in Saudi Arabia as child, and have lived in Indonesia. Currently I'm studying cultural anthropology with emphasis on Middle Eastern cultures.

While I know the difference between Quran recitations and regular Arabic singing, I hear bits and pieces of the Quran thrown into even Arabic pop music all the time.

But I agree that using it in vulgar music is bad but I didn't hear any bad words or anything particularly vulgar in Cassie's music.

To me it just seems to have been used in order to give the missions more atmosphere and bit more of a cultural context even if it's not exactly African music.

Anyways I think it sounds nice and I'm sure isn't meant to be disrespectful to Muslims.

now that's good concealment ;)

Someone who can't post here has found that bug...

It seems that as far as he has tested it only happens with some white buildings.

first image, t80 and 1.94beta, second one, t72 and 1.92beta

we did a long search thru the forums and bug report page to see if it had been reported already, i hope it's not a repeat...

I know you know there are general lod issues (readme file)but i dont know if all are documented so i posted this one just in case.

edit : seems that the bug report page is down ...

[bonko the sane 2]

This happens in Tonali_1 island in western shore peer

Thanks for the report Lupus...

And yes, pretty much the whole site is down, as our host, who claimed "unlimited bandwidth" does not offer "unlimited bandwidth" and has clamped our site's bandwidth.

I suppose its understandable, but until we resolve this issue, the site is a wee bit crippled...

Islam has a major footing in african countries, and is in no way limited to arabic culture.

as you well know Chris

For the others

Oh btw, come grab a game over at my place, were all using ventrilo, and the Ranger was in fine form last night, singing "Self preservation society" as he zig zagged down the hill in his usual gung ho stylee. Most of us couldnt shoot for laughing.

I agree, theres plenty of muslim singers singing verses off the Quran , but above all: the sound track is really good (love that Survival track ) in fact, all the new Tonal/African sounds are an excellent adition to the whole of OFP

Bonko, that isn't a bug with the Chinook... you just pushed the chopper a little too hard, and caused a ripple in the Space Time Continuum... unless that is the Army's new Helo Urban camouflage, used to quickly hide from fighter aircraft.

thanks Nagual it's far better now. I like you missions very much. (although I fought trough the campaign with HD mags and now it's easier hehe)

[Gollum1 0]

Thanks Nagual, everything works much better now.

The Jungle Op MP mission still doesn't work

Still missing script Camera.sqs

Otherwise nice work, Nagual.

[Thud_and_Blunder 0]

Benu,

I think you'll find the Jungle Op mission wasn't revised; when I compared the files in my MP folder that were to be updated with the new patch, I noted that there wasn't a new version of that one (ie 9 old missions replaced by 8 new ones).

[benu 1]

Yes, i know. It's still v1.0. Maybe i should have formulated this different, but i actually i alt+tabbed out of the game to type this so i don't forget it and was in a hurry to get back in, players waiting and stuff

[dinger 1]

hmmm... although now I can't seem to get the BAS SOAR pilots to work.

[ExtracTioN 0]

hmmm... although now I can't seem to get the BAS SOAR pilots to work.

what you mean

"cant get to work"

is the problem started with 1.94

[dinger 1]

never mind my bad.

I had installed OFPWatch and had it grab some addons. Somehow it wrote over my earlier BAS_SOARpilots stuff.

[Doolittle 0]

I can't figure out what the (AP) means? Anti-personel? Armor-piercing? I noticed (AA) means the AI will shoot at air targets...but the RPG doesn't lock on.

Also I was hoping you could tell us what the FLAGS are? I noticed you use "guba_vlajka.pac" for the Rebels & "\flags\usa.jpg" for the Government in team deathmatch. I was hoping for a flag like the ones on the Shilka or BMP?? How do I reference those textures? What's the name?

Thanks!

Doolittle

[Eviscerator 0]

AP targets people, AI will shoot them at enemy infantry and also armoured/soft targets. 'ALL' rockets target both helicopters, people and armour.

[Lt_Damage 0]

As I have not already had a chance to do so I'd like to congratulate Cassandra, god damn..

That music is something else, can I have permission to burn it to CD and play it in my car?

WELL DONE!

[Guest jacobaby]

Please note the upgrade of the MP missions.

You should be using the v1.1 versions now, and can delete those replaced by a v1.1.

[ShadowY 0]

I think this isn`t mentioned yet...but plz can you change and mix the rebel crewmembers of all vehicles?

I was using a nice camera addon and suddenly thought hmm  hey they`re all TWINS

I did not check the governemental crews but if you change them, you`ll notice if they are twins as well.
