gazmen 0 Posted December 27, 2003 Could you create it with information about weapons, bullets, tank and aircraft, soldiers (who build it, years, cost, range, firepower...) ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
void_false 1 Posted December 27, 2003 BTW, why there is no info about weapons that were released after CWC. I mean Bizon, G36... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PainDealer 0 Posted December 27, 2003 BTW, why there is no info about weapons that were released after CWC. I mean Bizon, G36... well there is some info about the new vehicles that came after CWC. anyway I think the idea of an encyclopedia is great maybe with some real pics of the equipment.

Major Gripe 0 Posted December 27, 2003 Why don't you just use google to find what you want to know? I would rather BIS improve the gameplay, AI, terrain etc etc than copy stuff from the 'net you are too lazy to find. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Colossus 2 Posted December 27, 2003 I think they got the idea at Hind95 too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cozza 24 Posted December 28, 2003 Also you can have in the Enclycopedia what all the Ancronims are (How ever there spelled) like FIBUA and CQB for people who dont know. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

edc 0 Posted January 3, 2004 An in-game weapon/vehicles reference would be neat, and if not that maybe have a pdf with weapon and vehicle information in it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Korpisoturi 0 Posted January 3, 2004 Also you can have in the Enclycopedia what all the Ancronims are (How ever there spelled) like FIBUA and CQB for people who dont know. Â CQB is close quarters battle. But acronyms and abbreviations section would be good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PainDealer 0 Posted January 3, 2004 mafia has carcyclopedia and original H&D has a little info on every weapon in campaign and mission equipment selection. I don't see any problem in adding it to OFP too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Friedchiken 0 Posted January 3, 2004 Well, if the developers want to that's cool. I wouldn't even mind if they had some descriptions but had many missing because they didn't have time and went to do other stuff. Touches like that are nice but the devs shouldn't sweat about it. Just for their fun. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PainDealer 0 Posted January 3, 2004 well I think it would be good for people who don't want to read books or stuff but are still interested in those things. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Friedchiken 0 Posted January 3, 2004 thats true. What I meant was that if they started to do that but never completed the database then I would still be okay if they kept whatever they did and made that an incomplete feature. (non-buggy tho) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gazmen 0 Posted January 4, 2004 mafia has carcyclopedia and original H&D has a little info on every weapon in campaign and mission equipment selection. I don't see any problem in adding it to OFP too. Yes, OFP2 shoult look at mafia, to see this cool features... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PainDealer 0 Posted January 5, 2004 I just noticed that there's info about weapons in "gear" section of mission briefing. too bad you can only look the info on the available weapons for the missions. they also have to be given to a soldier to get the "i" button for the weapons. the info contains short history and details like weight, caliber etc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gollum1 0 Posted January 6, 2004 There are more important things to do, naturally. But in OFP1 only the official firearms have "info" tabs (little "i" letters under the weapons in the inventory). How about adding the possibility for addon makers to make info tabs? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Friedchiken 0 Posted January 7, 2004 yeah, I was wondering why teams like BAS weren't doing that. Then BIS can let the community fish out their nerd stuff Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Colossus 2 Posted January 11, 2004 If they are gone build a Army encyclopedia, they need to be 3D and not 2D. Becouse of the ¨boringness¨ of 2D. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PainDealer 0 Posted January 12, 2004 would be great if they made a 3D gallery on a second CD but that's way too much trouble. I think the game is still gonna be the primary objective Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Acro 0 Posted January 12, 2004 That 3d enclylopedia would be easier to make IMHO. You could just use your ingame models for that and make some kind of viewer for them. But there's more important things to do than this. Â edit: typo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
