Y2K3 - Updated Ofp Config.

[@cero 0]

Have you runned the installer in the OFP folder? if so, then what you get its a mod folder for the sky pack, all you got to do now its one of two things.

1: go to your shortcut for the Y2K3 mod and on the target line aat the end add the name of the mod folder for the sky pack with a ";" in between names, like this

Quote[/b] ]"C:\Program Files\Codemasters\OperationFlashpoint\FLASHPOINTBETA.EXE" -nosplash -nomap -mod=res;Y2K3; Hisky

Hisky would be the name of the sky mod folder, but if you call it something ellse just change "Hisky" to whatever you call it.

2: all the files you got in the sky mod folder, just move them to the Y2K3 mod folder, make sure you don't overwrite anything.

Good luck.

I'm getting a "missing addon: bis_resistance" alert when i go to start up the V6 Y2K3 mod. I searched around the site for some clues, but I'm unable to find anything. The game will not start, so I assume its directly related to this missing bis_resistance piece. Any help would be appreciated, and I'm sorry if this is a re-post

Alright! I finally got the Y2k3 mod to work. Just had to make sure and follow the direction right and download and install the newest version.

I must say that Pappy Boyington Is a complete GENIUS! I read in another reply from him that he is only 18, thats amazing.

@Pappy- Hey man, what kind of work are you into? If yiou don't mind me asking. Are you going to school for computer programming?

Or do you just like stuf like this for a hobby? I could imagine that people over at Bohemia or Codemaster could use a guy like you on their payroll.

Anyway great work one improving a really fun game!!!!  

actualy im 19 (07-25-1985 is my birthday), and next october i'll be attending Pittsburgh Technical Institute to be a computer technian.

i just do this stuff for fun. web-design, graphic-design, game reconfiguration, the usual fun stuff

currently im a full-time lazy ass and part time gamer

on the Y2K3 site, theres a link "important information" that has instructions for installing the mod, and for installing the sky. "llumax installation" should explain it for ya.

that means your missing O.pbo or you have put it in a mod folder that isnt running.

[jsemcesku 0]

that solved that problem... the next 2 problems I figured out on my own (yay). But now I get a missing opfp1logo.paa (somethinglike that) and the game crashes to desktop. I should have never have uninstalled this game a month or two ago, i had the Y2K3 running fine

edit: says "picture ofplogo1.paa" is missing

[Pappy Boyington 0]

heres my suggestion.

fresh install of OFP. (set aside the @ECP and Y2K3 mod folders (also llumax if your using it).) then put the mods back in. after the install is done. if your using the new pistol animations from O.pbo by dream knight just redownload that and reinstall it.

thats the only thingi could think to suggest

really nice job on the dvd cover !

although i already like it alot i made another one (has been really boring today), with some parts from @cero´s layout .. i hope he dosn´t mind  

http://tacticalblunder.com/~uploads/mrburns/y2k3dvdbox.jpg

Sure, but its not much of mine left in there lol. I don't mind at all, the more the beter.

@ DiabloTerror, the one I posted originally its for a DVD cover, that's why Pappy croped it down to fit in a CD cover. However, for some reason when I printed mine out it came 5 milimetres too big all around extrange, because I give it the right size in Photoshop.

@ Rysumm2004, I'm glad you got it running fine now, save me the explaining lol, its sunday in here, and I'm in a lazy mood.

Regards.

@CERO.

yea, i noticed lol.. i had to cut alot

@CERO.

yea i noticed that too. that the actual picture size and print size are differnt. so when i resized it. i made a new image. . and resized the blank image to the actual print size. then resized the picture to match the print size in pixels. and went from there

[Rysumm2004 0]

I still can't get this sky mod to work. If it is working I can't tell a difference.

I ran the install.exe and it just puts two folders on my desktop. One is a bin fodler and one is a newdata folder.

I created a folder called Sky. I placed these addons in the Sky folder and ran the other install.exe that comes with this.

I have the Sky fodler in my OFP y2k3 directory. I updated the shortcut folder with ;sky at the end.

I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

[Pappy Boyington 0]

make a new mod folder called llaumax put the newdata, bin and all the files from the exe installer into that llumax mod folder IN YOUR OFP ROOT DIRECTORY. then run the install.bat file in the llaumax mod folder. that will then install it. then run the shortcut with ;llaumax in it

put all subfolders from y2k3 & llaumax into your res folder, overwriting everything it asks for.

that should work (do this at your own risk).

gmr has to be left out because you can run only 1 config at a time, but it´s not that bad since pappy tried to include all gmr effects into his config

edit: the cover i had was printed out way too big too.. have resized it by 10% now but didn´t print it yet, the ink is kinda dying...will do @work  

[Rysumm2004 0]

Well I got new the llaumax sky update to work.

Am I able to just add new addons to the y2k3 addons folder, and they will react the same as the addons that are already in the y2k3 file? (expolsions, sound, blood etc....)

sorta.

explosions, sounds, effects, are all per-unit controled. now most of the time units dont have thier own eventhandlers and therefore the effects will be carried over. explosions are always carried over. unless it has its own explosion defined.

but i would suggest that you place any new addons downloaded in your Res\Addons or Addons folder. leave Y2K3 for Y2K3 required addons only. this makes it convientant and easier for you. especialy if your like me and later on down the raod ur cleanng up your addons folders trying to make room for newer better ones and u cant remember where u downloaded the one uber leet shed-nator. then your goin thru your Y2K3 folder goin "wtf is this?, delete" and then later u find out u needed it and now u have to download the mod again

so i suggest u leave Y2K3\Addons folder for Y2K3 addons only

I have an error message at the start:

no entry "y2k3 final 6.0 bin/cfgweaponsICPRPG18"

Why?

PS sorry for my poor english...

[Pappy Boyington 0]

thats a problem with whatever weapon addon is mentioned.

it automaticly blaims the active config.bin for the problem. in this case. it blames Y2K3

[ebns72 0]

Recently I was cleaning my hardrive and deleted the full ecp mod (i had it to make Y2K3 work right, it is now not needed due to the extra file installer). When I played y2k3 again, it started whining about no entry in scripts/ecp settings (or something like that) no problem was probably the way i configured my target (i.e. -mod=Y2K3; mod=@ECP2) "@ECP2" is the files given by the extra file installer, it was renamed so it didn't conflict with the original "@ECP". So I renamed it, removing the "2" at the end. I changed the order the mods were in, placing ECP first and Y2K3 second.

When I started it up, i got the error

No entry 'config.bin.CfgAddons

I remember I had this problem once before, but I forget how to fix it...

I double checked the spelling of everything, and even reversed the order they were in to try in make it work correclty with no luck.

I don't want to reinstall, because I have heavily modifeid your Y2K3 mod with custom data, and edited configs, plus ALOT of addons in the Y2K4 addons folder.

Btw, I also tried -nomap and -nosplah, no luck.

EDIT: hehe its kinda funny. I played the game and everything is screwed up. I made a soldier, it was a default bis soldier with the binocs anim, no weapon, whne I fired my invisible m16 it fired straight into the ground, like a bullethole suddenly appeared near my feet. If you make a jeep theres a BIS solider riding it like a surfboard (its really just the binoc anim, but it looks like hes riding a surboard)

[Pappy Boyington 0]

sounds like u have a config in cpp formate and not big

by the way you do NOT need to run the @ECP mod folder in your target line. the folder needs to be tehre but not read by OFP. ECP finds the path automaticly.

check your @ECP and Y2K3 folders for a config.cpp. if there is a config.cpp then OFP reads that and it fucks everything over

[@cero 0]

Quote[/b] ]No entry 'config.bin.CfgAddons

The funny thing is that I just had this problem aswell, and its been doing my head each.

I know it is not the configuration, and I allso know that I recently installed a few new addons, and it only happan with them, but after I removed the addons from the OFP directory I still had the problem, so I thought it may change something in the savings or somewhere in the OFP files, so I opted to do a clear install.

At the moment I seem to had got read of it, but I still have to reinstall the Y2K3 mod.

I got to go to work in a minute, afternoons today, so I'll do it later or tomorrow. I'll let you know what's up.

Regards.

Finally!. Being a 56ker I don't download much these days as I also have limited net access, but thanks to K..... in the UK I have been able to enjoy the Y2K3 Upgrade, and WOW!. This is great. Pappy, you have done a wonderful job here.

Sounds, sights.. and more. this has truely taken OFP further than what I could ever have imagined. To all the addon makers and scripters whose work has culminated in this upgrade.. Thanks. Nogovan evenings wont ever be the same. Well done.

Hmmm If a body was to try and replace the existing boats with your PTFs would that cause a whole raft ( Pun) of problems?

aside from the obvious mission incompatability (no cargo proxies) and the lag it would cause (since the boats are used in 4s and 5s) and lastly carrying over the cripts would be very difficult for those who dont know what thier doing.

Hi, I'm Greg and im a mid-range PC user

thats right my 256 ram is holding me back some. and out of curousity i tried OFP with Y2K3 off.

played "combined arms" mission on everon. i got between 10 and 22 fps (with dxdll reflections off) mid range was in the teens (13 - 15)

goin back over a custom config for Y2K3 for myself i removed all the ECP init eventhandlers. rerouted some others like the exploding body is read via hit event handler rather then init.

init eventhandlers cause the most lag. cuz everyone is running them over and over agian til something happens. the other EH stay dormont until called upon (ie: hit = until u get shot, and only when your shot)

so i removed the ECP effects init eventhandler from the helos, vehicls, tanks, units, ect ect ect.

went back and played combined arms. i got between 7 and 20 fps, usualy around in the 10 - 15 area. which to u guys sounds pathetic. but to me sounds amazing.

but wait, theres more. in removing the ECP event handlers form config handeld vehicals (excluding the AH64, SU25, and A10 LGB, and a few others) i loost the uber cool "warning low altitude" thingy from ECP, the "dudeman join player" option, and a few other unnoticable changes.

the good news is, we stil have the blood (handeled via hit eh), we still have the exploding bodies (handeld by the hit eh), we still have the buzzing flys over dead bodies (handeld by the killed eh), and the AT backblast (handeld by the fired eh). none of these effects cause noticable lag and can stay in.

so for those of you that are mid range, and perhaps it might work on low range PC's i suggest this config option.

Y2K3 6.0 Performance Enhancer

testing on a 1.5 Ghz P4, 128meg GeForce FX 5200, 256 Ram. i get the same frame rate with Y2K3 as without. using this config here. loosing only a handful of effects that wont be missed too much.

PS: this config is utilized off the Pilot & Raft path, ensure you have that, and only comes in exploding body version.

please, mid and low range users post your feed back on it. if its halfway decent for yall ill post it on teh downloads page
