Wargames addpak 4.0 released

[deathsai 0]

Looks real good for MP, looks like disaster for SP. That isn't so bad, though. Can anyone put a list of IPs on the front page for servers running this mod so that people won't have to look through 20 pages to find them?

More Information and Feedback

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The sky install is not recommended if you run OFP in Direct3D mode or if you use Win98 or 95. We apologize for this, but there is nothing we can do to make it work reliably on these platforms. If you experience any errors about missing P3D or paa/pac files and you have installed the sky, delete your WGL\DTA folder and it will be fixed.

We welcome your feedback. Really we do. So don't hesitate to let us know what you think of the addon and any suggestions you have and we will try to respond as quickly as possible.

@prauch --- the old grid (Aa00) had 128x128 squares. The 6-digit mil grid has 100x100 squares. So it's not just relabeling

[sergeant rock 3]

I have updated OFPWATCH on the Citadel to install the 4.1 package as well.

[Gordy 0]

will you be releasing a config.cpp soon (at all)?

Some people don't mind better looking units, you know.

[rouge1 0]

Quote[/b] ]get a error message when i try to load a mission in the mission editor.. "missing wgl_men_400, missing wgl_vehicle_400"

I think that's due to the changed Classnames or Filenames not entirely sure tho.

[ZiRo 0]

I would love this pack to use the Marine Assault Pack, Hyk Modern Infantry and BAS Special forces.

is it just me or do the ai not use the grenades?

-ZiRo

[the_shadow 0]

what are they changed to?

wgl_man_410??

[dinger 1]

yeah, go into the mission.sqm file and delete the WGL entries in "required addons". Load the mission, then save it, and it will auto-update.

[the_shadow 0]

ok, i´ll try.... if youre wrong i´ll kill you... ;)

EDIT: it worked thanks mate, owe you one ;)

[AngusHeaf 0]

Rogue1 and anyone else who gets that error.....

You need to open the mission.sqm file for the mission (may need to unpbo it) then delete _400. People who have been making stuff for WG know all about this, because it was a way to keep version control by renaming the addon's configs each time (to prevent a bit of cheating). We've come up with a new way of doing it though, so do this and you'll never have to do it again....

1.  Open Mission.sqm

2.  Look for anything similar to wgl_veh_400

3.  Delete the _400 part from each line (wgl_veh_400 becomes just wgl_veh)

4.  Find all references to _400 and repeat the above steps

5.  Save your work and make the PBO again for the mission if you need to

wgl_veh_400 -> wgl_veh

wgl_men_400 -> wgl_men

wgl_wep_400 -> wgl_wep

wgl_events_400 -> wgl_events

Sorry about the hassle. It won't be done again in the future since we have a new way to version check based on some scripts.

i never actually got the Error Angus , but thanks for the tips and relavant information for those that didn't know. and the even better news is. i haven't found any Bugs or errors as of yet and shall test exstenively in MP also

[AngusHeaf 0]

Sorry I meant Shadow. Hehe. I'm sleepy.

[benu 1]

Get an editor that does regex renaming and try something like replace (wgl_.*)_400 with $1.

I believe most of you will find that 4.1 is less of a "disaster" for SP than 4.0. In fact, I think 4.1's AI even goes above and beyond OFP's. All gunshots and explosions are audible from much further away, and this seems to affect AI; troops set on "guard" waypoints respond to gunfire beyond their visual range. All troops are better at searching, and their ears are more sensitive (airborne and special forces troops are even more skilled). AI troops are no longer immune to the effects of gunshot wounds, as their skill is temporarily nullified after being hit. Soldiers will engage with their weapons at more realistic (much longer) ranges. They can finally aim AT weapons correctly too ;)

Here are some missions I made during the course of 4.1's development using CoC's command engine. No AI scripting is used for the OPFOR, only waypoints. All AI are set for default (low) skill according to rank.

What I'm trying to say is.. if you tried 4.0 and didn't like it because the AI are crap, it's worth another shot ;)

Would it be possible for me to edit the config to cater for some other addons units please?

I'd like to make an edited config to use the HYK modern infantry and some of the BAS units. keeping the rucksacks, ai, weapons etc. for my campaign

-ZiRo

[Tactician 0]

Everything you need to edit the addons is in wgl_men, basically. Just inherit from WGL_SoldierWB and you're golden.

[ZiRo 0]

thanks tactician - even though i find your effects a complete bitch to deal with in the heat of a battle, but i guess real soldiers cant take hits without having weapon holding ability affected

-ZiRo

PS: a squad of spetz natz just owned a squad of us infantry in a forest.

EDIT:

In which pbo will i be able to find the config for all the editor units?

[flash46196 0]

ya I am running 1.96

[bn880 5]

Just wanted to drop in and say I am having a blast finding out all the features in WGL. Rucksack stuff is especially cool...

Now all I need is a lot of spare time to convert all the missions to WGL stuff and enjoy them

Right im having some problems with my config, infact its only one problem:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">class animations

{

class ZIR_goggles

{

type="rotation";

animPeriod=0.5;

selection="google";

axis="gooAX";

angle0=0;

angle1=-0.659;

};

};

class UserActions

{

class ZIR_LowerGoggles

{

displayName="Lower Goggles";

position="gooAX";

radius=1.0;

condition="this animationPhase ""goggles"" < 0.5";

statement="this animate [""goggles"",1]";

};

class ZIR_RaiseGoggles

{

displayName="Raise Goggles";

position="gooAX";

radius=1.0;

condition="this animationPhase ""goggles"" >= 0.5";

statement="this animate [""goggles"",0]";

};

};

I get error Class UserActions member already defined and i cant think why.

Whole section:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">class ZIR_WGL_SoldierWB: SoldierWB

{

vehicleClass="ZIR WGL - Men";

displayName="Rifleman";

model="\HYK_USsol\wl\HYK_USsol_wl.p3d"

camouflage=1;

moves="CfgMovesMC";

hiddenSelections[] =

{

"medic";

"mic";

};

scope=2;

class animations

{

class ZIR_goggles

{

type="rotation";

animPeriod=0.5;

selection="google";

axis="gooAX";

angle0=0;

angle1=-0.659;

};

};

class UserActions

{

class ZIR_LowerGoggles

{

displayName="Lower Goggles";

position="gooAX";

radius=1.0;

condition="this animationPhase ""goggles"" < 0.5";

statement="this animate [""goggles"",1]";

};

class ZIR_RaiseGoggles

{

displayName="Raise Goggles";

position="gooAX";

radius=1.0;

condition="this animationPhase ""goggles"" >= 0.5";

statement="this animate [""goggles"",0]";

};

};

it then continues onto the wounds etc.

Any help would be great.
