its not a mod, as they don't modify the game itself... they just make shiny new units to play with...

FDF and CSLA would be the only Mod's at the moment i can think of... guess keg's HiSky is as well since it does indeed modify ofp '

What ever.BAS does modding to an new addons.

ok.... suit yourself... just sit and think where the term mod comes from

Modification A small alteration, adjustment, or limitation.the word MOD is just the cut version of Modify,Or Modification,etc.

[Messiah 2]

no....

it adds addons to the game... an Add On - not a mod... Modification, which fdf does

Addon = In addition to...to ADD!

Modify = To modify something that already exists.

I can see why you get confused, and the semantics might be slightly dodgy, but just accept that these terms in the context of computer games mean these things. So BAS is an addon team, not a mod team.

Mwahahahahaha! Another thread crumbling into a spamfest     !

Ontopic: Why do these article writers never consult people on forums like this? All they'd have to do is ask and they'd be given lots of info.

I think theres alot of people that are down right jealous over the fact that their mods were on mentioned. So as they say at Otago University - Oh, get over it.

Here's an idea...why not put the talent of the OFP community to work to make OUR version of a short blurb about the addon/mod/missions community.

Just judging from the OFP combat pics thread, there's plenty of screenshots to use. In a one-page format, summarize the major mods/missions/addons of OFP.

There's a ton of em, for sure, just think about it. ATM you can play OFP in Vietnam, WWII, 1985, Modern, and there's some WWI and colonial (and of course Sci-Fi) mods in the works. But just look at what's already seen the light of day. There are enough WWII addons to fully recreate Medal of Honor using the OFP engine! It seems that there are also addons/mods representing at least 10 different countries, maybe more, i.e. FDF, CSLAII, etc.

OK, maybe instead of a 1-page format we'll have to make it the OFP Special Edition of the magazine and just take up the entire thing. :P

Too late. I heard that Kegetys was so p****d that none of his creations made it in the article, that he hacked their intranet. When they send the data of their next edition to make the printing masks, his little virus will add a four page issue about Winter-Kolgujev, Nogojev, Finmod, Hawk, Drill ...

[Ex-RoNiN 0]

This is not a discussion about what constitutes a modification and what doesn't.

This is most certainly not a discussion about hacking corporate networks.

This is a discussion on reactions from an article in PC Zone. Any more talk of modifications or hacking a corporate network and this thread will get closed and offenders will be punished.

How about we all give credit to the people that actually made it into the magazine?  I've heard nothing of that at all except for 'Why arent we in there?, How dare they miss out *insert mod name/Addon project here*  .. Now fair enough, they missed out a lot of work that has been done, but hey, The community was mentioned at least.. The community aint dead...

We (Falklands Mod) are still on bloody cloud nine for seeing something which we started 2 years ago and to see it featured in a major games magazine is absolutely fantastic and totally unexpected...

I'm still telling people 'look!!! The mod I run is in a magazine!, I can't believe it!'

Let us enjoy our little ray of sunshine just this once guys...  Thank you

My work has been mentioned three times in a Finnish gaming magazine and in some foreign ones too I think, thats more than enough publicity for me :P

@ Ash

I agree

I think the reason nobody mentioned that is because it's obvious that we're happy for those that were mentioned!  (or at least I am)

Soooo, congrats to all those that made the article!     It must be real cool and everybody mentioned should have been.

*edit*  Specified who I was happy for  

[NZXSHADOWS 0]

oopps. i didnt read that

Maybe someone would be willing to do PR (not posting restriction ) for the OFP community and set up a comprehensive list of actual mods and projects worth to mention. After that members from several countries could send this list with some pics and links to the local game magazines. This way we could revive the com a bit a I guess.

What do you think ? Why wait until they have an eye on us by accident if we can feed them with proper and up-to-date info.

Search The FAQ for "ofp mods".

I'd be happy to update that FAQ item. Lists of active mod names and urls should be emailed to me.

<s>To repeat an earlier request, can anyone send me a clear scan of the magazine article's item mentioning The FAQ? Munks scan wasn't so clear. TIA. </s>

edit: someone sent this to me.

About that list of mods: You forgot Nightstalker ! And FDF and CSLA II !
