Bis model replacement project

[llauma 0]

I just successfully replaced the BIS NVG's with Inq's NVG's and it's working in MP. I modified Keg's installer so now I know how to replace models without getting CTD's in MP.

This is the install code. I don't know much so it might seem bad for pro's but it's working.

As you can see you need to delete the replaced model.p3d_srpc to avoid CTD's. You will need to add a line for each model you want to replace.

So this leads us to the question.. Which model should be in a replacement pack and can anyone make a pair of decent binocs?

Here's a sample for replacing the NVG's with Inq's NVG's

How to install:

Extract the archive to your Operation Flashpoint directory. Then go to the created model_mod directory and run the install.bat file. If the install goes well, you should be able to use the model_mod directory like a regular mod folder. (ie. add -mod=model_mod into your OFP:R shortcut link).

DO NOT use this if you don't knwo what you are doing. The sample installer should work fine as it does for me but use it on your own risk.

Hi llauma.

Is it possible to work with your llauma sky pack?

I'd like to use both of 'em!

Edit: nothing..

One question, will the installer for your skies work under win9x/winME? The original Kegetys installer did not allow the skies to function properly under win9x/winME.

I really want those high-res stars and moon

The installer is for Win2k/XP but I modified the installer NoRSu made for Win98/ME so it would install the stars too.

Get it here

Just replace the install.bat in the llaumax dir with the new one.

If you want to install the NVG's too just copy the NVG files to llaumax/newdata and use this installer for Win98/ME

how about bino range finders

how about bino range finders

Sure it would be nice if you could do that Just a new pair of binocs would be a start.

The only bug i have noticed is if you are looking at a dude who is wearing the NVG's and looking through his bino's the bino's are replaced with the NVG model so you can see four green dots peering at you

What? The Binocs are the same as before unless you replaced them with NVG's.

You know these installers haven't really worked, at least keg's one never did because it didn't install all the files.  

Is it ok if I just unpbo the data folders and data3d folders and just replace the pbos and textures?

Ok one other thing, i'm gonna download your new version of this system, but first...provide a picture will you please of the new rain?

I just tested it on a dedi with another guy and when you use NV and bins together the other guy can see 4 green dots.

I am using the Llaumax skies/water with the NVG files copied into newdata and i then ran the .bat you posted a link to a few posts up...

The installer works. It installs the files I tell it to install. If you wanna replace models you will need to add a line for each model to the .bat file.

If you unpbo the data3d the game will crash in MP because the unpbo messes up the strela model.

The sky pack doesn't have now rain but I did add Keg's rain to the LlauMax pack.

Hmm I just tested without my pack and it seems like it's a OFP bug. The guy wearing NVG's picks up another pair of NVG's instead binocs in MP.

would it be possible to make a binoc with which you can target an enemy unit or vehicle or any house and then the binoc shows you the exact distance, e.g. Enemy Officer 137m

No idea.. I doubt it but never say never when it comes to OFP. With enough scripting it might be possible.

The binoculars its a good idea, I would be happy ji the range finding was just a reticle like the ones in some of the tank comander binoculars or some other optics with range finding reticles. No laser technology used or anything, would be more like the reticle of a pso scope or something where you stimate distance by knowing the size of an object and comparing it to the marks in the reticle of your viewing device.

That would be nice, and if it work in multiplayer, it would be good for spoters, there you would have somebody playing as a spoter that would need to skill him/her selfe on range finding.

Im a little confused about why some objects can be added easily enough, and some are quite tricky.  But no worries, i'll have a search and if I cant find the answer i'll come back.

But my reason for posting is to ask if the compass on the map screen can be changed?  Or indeed anything on the map screen, but it would probably be the compass that would benifit the most.  Im sure one of the big modifications achieved it but I can't find it right now...

normal PBO compressor will just mess up some file in(missing some config most of the time) data.pbo or data3d.pbo

basicly you can change all model, texture and even config in the data pbo as long as all the files in the pbo is there and in correct from, and remember dont use different config for different mod.

Sorry for bumping the topic. But can someone provide a download link for this program? The current links are all dead. If I read correctly, I run this program through the addon thats replacing a unit and it will prevent game crashes?

and yes i have tried contacting Llauma, but he is not responding to me. So could someone else provide a link. Please?

[chipper 0]

for the binocs maybe someone can just update it like they did for VBS?

like in this picture see the forward observer wit the cool binocs

Thats a common bug that affects the game anyway even if you have the default model AFAIK
