EECP - Enhanced ECP

Chopper, that I can't stress enough.

Please change them into BAS (most prefferably)

I agree that the choppers need changing, but my issue is this:

The BAS UH-60 is black. Now, I'm *trying* to keep this as realistic as possible, so I have a hard time getting past the fact that only the 160th SOAR flies black birds, but I'm willing to overlook that for the 60 and I'll work on getting that into a future config.

The thing is, there're no real replacements for the others.

The BAS MH-47, while great, is an unsuitable replacement for a CH-47D.

BoH's AH-64D is unavailable as a standalone addon, and I'd like to avoid having something as big as the BoH mod as a requirement.

To my knowledge, there's no finished modern AH-1 (W or Z.)

We're also lacking stand-alone Mi-24s and 8 or 17s. CSLA has some nice ones and the FDF ones are looking good, but again, those are big downloads (and bigger PBOs.)

As for the OH-58, it can be replaced by SILESIAN's without the use of my config.

I'm open to any further suggestions here. Maybe I've overlooked something.

yea in my versoin (personal) i replaced the UH60 with the BAS HH60 pavehawk.    (and attempting to keep all animations and script functions carry over    the only thing that prevents a test of my changes is the binerizing process.

ccp2bin gives me the error

"error on property destroyFreindly -CfgExperiance"

thought it was my fault. took the backed up orginal (this one here) and tried binerizing that. same error. so i dunno. until i can get some profesional help with this. perhaps playing PM tag with the wonderful Kurayami may prove useful and i can solve this problem.

6am here im goin to bed. night yall  

Edit: cargo proxys: no they wont. thier defined in the model. like the textures

I think it would be better to add 85 units...--when I play CWC it doesent feel the same,...

and replace choppers.

Thanks for all your hard work Kurayami. It ill be a pleasure to play through the campaign again.

First,

I'd like to say great job Kurayami, so far i tested your config in the campaign and in some single player missions...and so far everything works pretty smoothly. And looks much better!

I dont mean to hijack the thread but, about the Blackhawks, i have done this with my mod in the latest patch. The BAS UH60L replaces the BIS UH-60 MG and includes all the wonderful custom scripting and actions available to it from BAS. Also the cargo proxies are working as they should.

So it can be done...and pretty quickly i might add.

The differences between my config and Kurayami's is that mine attempts to stick to the 1985 era as much as possible, and i have not yet implemented Russian and Resistance replacements. Also, my config does not use ECP nor can it be used in conjunction with ECP yet. I'd have to do what Kurayami did and request permission from ECP to modify their code by including theirs and my own in the same config...but at this moment i dont really have that time.

The next best thing i would be able to do(in a reasonable time span) is replace the Russian weapons with INQ's weapons.

Hope this provides an insight into what the difference is between all these config mods which are becoming available now.

That's good news. I wasn't sure about the proxy thing and figured it'd look kind of odd to have guys sitting in the air. I too intend to bring over BAS' great scripts since it would be a shame to miss out on them.

If I can make a suggestion here...

If you ever feel like expanding the scope of your config, why not see if Goldmember will let you use GMR mod as the base? To my knowledge, nobody has started a public release of a retooled GMR config and, since GMR is pretty popular, it would be something that a lot of people could get some use out of.

Just an idea. I know there's a lot of people that prefer GMR over ECP, so that's a base that somebody should cover as well.

thats what i modified was my GMR flamer config (using DR sounds adn INQ weapons) and if i can get some help with binerizing it and testing ill gladly help you do a GMR version

Suchey's "russian navals" are not a navals and aren't russians. Better you select AKM74's specnatz forces...

i take it back i need a few more hours to work on this. turns out that if u unbinerize a cpp it looses about 75% of its information. god i love this game. formats u cant change without loose of information.

ill report back in 3 to 6 hours on any changes

[Silent Pro 0]

Really denorc?

You are the 1st person to ever say such a thing.

Can you please release this in the non .bin format (so we can edit in wordpad). I like have my own version, but I wanted to take some of the things you did and compare.

I keep getting muffled sounds when I try and use them!

downlaod the ECP dev version and edit that. it works fine for on the go editing (works in ccp format in game) and use pbo decrypter (unpbo) 1.3 for unbinerizing the configs

i just got done editing. and i now have all of the benifits of this config. sig tanks, maf truck, such russian, boh troops, inq weapons, dr sounds, AND the combination of gmr and ecp explosions which i might add are BEAUTIFUL combined. ecp ones are too dark gmr ones are just right but add them together and thier pefrect. brings a tear to your eye also using vit's pkm which i made a standalone pbo (without a config so its only model and textures)

[nubbin 0]

pappy, could you email me yours then. I have an edited version for myself as well, but I have trouble with certain things. I wanted somebody elses as a comparison.

I get errors when I unencrypt with unpbo (for the config anyway). At least I did once and I assumed it doesnt work...

Anyway, I'd still like to see yours if you'd email it to me

minor adjustment. BIS uh60mg replaced by BAS HH60G with all scritpts and animations intact and working beautifuly.

that new explosion mod with the exploding body parts. also in my config so if u shoot someone with a barret or my cusotm desert eagle. they explode

sniper now equiped with sjb M82 instead of the m21 and has full complement of carry capibilits (10 mag slots and 2 weapon slots)

Do I have to use the Dynamic Range sound pack?

I've always preferred the Battlefield Insane pack, its just so much LOUDER!

[Pappy Boyington 0]

ok i ran into a small bug here and i need help. its a pistol bug. when i select the pistol or pick up a pistol and try and use it i become "attached" to the  ground and i cant move my lower part of my body. any clue whats causing this or how to fix it?

ok this now rates a 7.0 on my weird-shit-o-meter

alright its narrowed down to an animation problem

The camo on Sucheys Naval Infantry is really russian (just a little bit dark).

But Naval Infantry has this Camo:

Why do you say that? Like INQ pointed out, they're definetely Russian BDUs.

AKM74's are nice, but he has no conventional forces.

Once I get my comments straightened out (next version or two,) I'll release just the cpp if people want to mess with it for personal use.

At the moment, yes, but eventually I'll get around to making a non-DR version of the config.

I suggest trying ECP and DR together if you haven't, though. I used the BI pack for a long time. I finally switched when ECP came out because it made the explosions and whatnot so much better.

Is this in my config or your config? If it's mine, what did you do to make it happen?

I see. Well, I PMed you about it. I don't know if I'll be much help, though.

Anyway, at the moment I'm curretly looking for suggestions on the replacement of the following:

Russian and US MANPADS

Snipers (are there any good ghillie suits out there?)

Aforementioned helis (Mi-17, Mi-24, CH-47D, AH-64, AH-1)

Ural

Work on the config is progressing smoothly. I should have an improved version ready for release before too long.

http://ofp.gamezone.cz/index.php?showthis=5454

i like using the non-ghillie suit snipers. gues thats why i spent 7 hours tweaking my own config   yea i replyed to your PM and PMed one of the ECP fellas since ofpec is down (surprise surprise)

my problem solved. turned out it was a bis bug. my cpp had to be a bin it works PERFECT now. thanks for your insperation on this your insperation has helped me to PERFECT my OFP gaming experiance

http://ofp.gamezone.cz/index.php?showthis=5454

Not quite what I'm looking for, but thanks anyway.

I have no aversion to leaving them in standard BDUs, which is probably what I'll do unless I spot a ghillie suit that I really like.

Heh. That's the same explaination that I just sent you a minute ago.
