Just wondering if you'd wish to help the USS Arleigh Burke project with texturing and the like.

Drop me some info via PM or MSN.

[bonko the sane 2]

nice job! love the retextures

shame that the c130 still flies exactly like it shouldnt

btw:the coast guard badges are reversed in the cutter.

Yeh, this may be true, OFPEC tags have little effect on functionality. However, they do keep things tidy and help to avoid conflicts in future

(From OFPEC)

Quote[/b] ]OFP Tags were introduced in 2002 as a way of avoiding conflicts between different addon and mission makers. Today, almost everyone has their own, individual tag.

Infact, did you not guarantee that this addon would be OFPEC tagged Pappy?

nope. you reccomended we ofpec tag it.

but ofpec ticks me off.

so i decided agasint it. besides. i dont know of to many other USCG mods out there makin the same cutter  

i dont like ofpect and i hate ofpec tags. as a mission maker they tick me off even more. instead of "this addweapon 40mm" i gotta do "this addweapon blahblahblah_coolgun_reallyneatthing_weapon_40mm"

ofpect tags tick me off. wait did i mention that already?

edit: i should note i have well over 4 GB of addons that i run with OFP. 3GB worth are run simotaniously. about 1% of my addons carry that ofpec tag. and i have YET to have anything clash.

By NOT using OFPEC tags, you clearly show your disrespect for the community rules. Even BIS have sanctioned the OFPEC tag system as the proper way to avoid class/pbo name conflicts.

Quote from official OFP page (here)

Quote[/b] ](...)

Name of the Addon should start with unique TAG of the creator (see http://www.ofpec.com/tags_about.php for more information about the TAG system).

(...)

Name of any mission installed should start with TAG

(...)

III) All included addons should be created in compliance with the TAG system.

(...)

IV) If the addons itself requires other addons to work properly, it has to:

i) include such addons in requiredAddons[] list

...

I don't really know why you hate OFPEC so much. Your "blahblahblah_coolgun_reallyneatthing_weapon_" are just 3 to 5 letters (!!!), that let you identify the given objects.

It's just childish...

You say "i dont know of to many other USCG mods out there makin the same cutter"? I say sometimes you may be surprised.

PS. I don't really know where you could have found 2.9GB of OFPEC non-compatibile addons, unless you edited them all by yourself  

Edit: Sorry to sound harsh, but my point still stands.

thats fine you have you opinion and i have mine.

if extraction wants to make it compatable thats up to him.

but i personaly dont like ofpec. i never have and i never will.

i dont like ofpec thier tag system or anything else related for that matter.

its not 3 letters it varys form 3 to 8. and the problem with it is is sitting in game (unable to alt tab) and go "ok lerts see here i want to assign this M82 to this soldier. ..ok well its this addweapon sjb_m82. .go in game. . .go back to the editor. .ok no it was sjbsrt2 go in game test nope thats not it eitehr. now sometimes but very rarly people make it easy. ag_smith. easy.  jam_weapon easy. INQ_weapon each. but most of them dont. they put thier initials thier name thier adress thier phone number and the blast code for the pekenese missel silo. so it becomes annoynig when your sitting there doin 90 tests and 20 minutes of work to assign one freakin gun to a unit.  it was much easier when it was "this addweapon desert eagle" "this addweapon M82" "this addweapon camom24"

its ironic too. everyone says "we should do the jam thing. . . where a buncha weapons all use the same mag that way its easier for people" but at the same time we promot the making of 9 million M4's we promote the making of 90 million different types of ammo and weapons.  without ofpec tags people would be forced to share weapons and we wouldnt have the problem of today that having 10 thousand weapons all the same. the only thing making them different is me_m4, you_m4, them_m4

no offense to sjb i just picked an ofpec tag user out at random

and thats my opinion and im stickin to it

remember: opinions are like assholes, everyone has one some jsut stink worse then others.

oh and the comment about other USCG mods doin the same ship. . .that was actualy a retorical remark due to the fact that there are no other USCG mods. at this late stage of the game there arent gonna be many new mods anyway.

sorry if u dont like my opinion on the matter but i dont like ofpec its as simple as that

Edit:

ok ok fine ill ofpec tag it. i didnt realize that not having an ofpec tag was such an evil sin here

just noone make any missions yet as it (the cutter) wont be compatable with version 1.0

This only leads me to a conclusion that we need some kind of better possibility to select & create loadouts via Mission Editor dialogs and we can only hope, that something like this will be included in OFP2.

Still, this doesn't excuses you from using OFPEC tags at all. We both know this. After all, your not going to use this addweapon "blablalbalbalba_very_long_ofpec_tag_hh60_version_99_block_66_jayhawk" for anything anyway.  

But as you already said, it's up to you what you do with your addon. Sadly, with some addons like these, I'll probably end  up editing them by myself one day, because the conflict will arise and instead of "GearUp" sound I'll hear some other nasty noise (really happened with 1st version of Scorpio's CH-53!).

That's why I ask you to reconsider this matter.  

Edit: Read your edit. Thanks.

Update on Pilot Textures

the helmet will be black (like the BAS one black) in final

uhh extraction you want to handel that for me

[Lupus-WD- 0]

These addons look nice and I'll be happy to use them, when they're TAGged...

By tagging your addons you also get more chances that server admins use them, most of them wont even consider it if they're not TAGged as running a server can be quite some hassle already, the last thing they need being another potential source of problems.

That's nothing but just plain silly...

Where are the "community" rules, and which

member(s) of the community wrote them??

I'm happy I got a FREE add-on which is so much fun.

I never felt disappointed or disrespected for not

having the tags.. I say GREAT WORK as is.....

Maybe that's just me

[ExtracTioN 0]

Good news all I asked Footmunch to help with Fastrope on Seahawks and he made on 1 model fastrope works great and I made it now for all seahawks

So release is real close only some little fixes here and there and they are good to go for release

Pretending that there are no rules (even if not written down anywhere) is silly.

That's it. I'm not going to start a flame war here and I'll not respond to further posts about it here.

ExtracTioN, sorry for going off-topic, mate.

[ExtracTioN 0]

no problem ag_smith m8

It is all my own fault to not tag my addons guys  

The Seahawks they are not tagged right now  

What do you guys want that I tag them right now will take 1 or 2 weeks that it will be released.

Or

Tag them later and release it today or tommorow.

I registered on OFPEC long time ago with my tag BOC but everytime when my addon is almost finnished I than think damn forgot to tag my addon  

Up to you guys

[ExtracTioN 0]

Update Seahawks they are good to go now without OFPEC Tag

The SH-60R version in old version is updated to it has no more red paintings cause choppers with red paintings are test versions

So it is not grey colour only what shall I do release it now tag them later or tag them and release it when it is finnished

[ag_smith 0]

If it was up to me, I'd tag them and then release to save confusion.
