A customized OFP mission pack, produced by The Avon Lady, of The OFP FAQ.

The OFP FAQ: http://www.theavonlady.org/theofpfaq

Email: theavonlady@theavonlady.org

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

I've adapted some  official OFP SP missions to use the following high

quality popular addons:

- ORCS's Russian Federation Airborne Troops (VDV)

- ORCS's Russian Special Militia Forces (OMON)

- LSR's US 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment - Delta (SFOD-D)

- Edge's Retextured Guerillas

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

The mission pack contains the following missions:

1. Delta Clean Sweep, adapted from the official single player mission

  "Clean Sweep".

2. Delta Clean Sweep II, adapted from the official single player mission

  "Clean Sweep II".

3. Delta Shadow Killer, adapted from the official single player mission

  "Shadow Killer".

4. VDV Revenge, adapted from the official single player mission "Revenge".

I had to make several modifications to the original missions. In particular,

I raised the skill level settings of several enemy soldiers in the

VDV Revenge mission.

If you have any recommendations on improving or correcting anything wrong

with these missions, just email me and tell me so. The address is just

below the top of this document.

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

Special thanks to Messiah for correcting an error in BIS' original

Clean Sweep II mission code and for adding an intro cutscene to the mission.

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

Known Problems:

At one point during mission play, you may receive the following error message:

Cannot load mission, missing addons: bas_mh47185

Just click OK on the error message window and continue playing the mission.

The message is caused by an error in a BAS addon file, most likely file

BAS_MH47E_185.pbo, from the BAS Chinook addon.

To avoid the message's display, run OFP without access to the BAS Chinook addon.

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

Requirements:

1. OFP version 1.91 or greater.

2. ORCS's Russian Federation Airborne Troops addon.

4. LSR's US 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment - Delta addon.

5. LSR's US 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment - Delta weapons pack.

6. Edge's Retextured Guerillas addon.

7. BAS' JAM2 addon.

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

Summary of Changes:

1.21 - Added Russian RPGs to ammo crates behind western tent area in mission

      Delta Clean Sweep II.

1.20 - Removed from requirements the following two addons that are not used:

      LSR's Russian Federation Special Forces (GRU)

      Rudedog's JAM addon for LSR's Russian Federation Special Forces

     

1.10 - Added Messiah's intro cutscene to mission Delta Clean Sweep II.

1.10 - Added Messiah's supplied script for burning BMP when BMP destroyed

      in mission Delta Clean Sweep II.

     

1.10 - Used Messiah's corrections to resolve the error in mission Delta

      Clean Sweep II, where the final mission objective (board the UH60)

      is prematurely checked off as done when the mission is started. This

      bug occurs in BIS' original Clean Sweep II mission, when run under

      the latest OFP versions.

nicely done... is that the same clean sweep 2 as i helped you with?

Sounds cool, way too many soldiers required tho, maybe use less soldiers and more custom vehicals I used to have an adapted version of Shadow Killer using Vits APC's, and MFR and RNI from Suchey's pack but i throwned it away somehow, was cool tho and didnt require many addons to convert most of the mission's units .

That would not be possible, as I've not yet received the file.

Thanks for putting this together. I am anxious to give it a go.

Oh, one thing

Quote[/b] ] LSR's US 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment addon.

It should be 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment - Delta. SFOD could be either SFOD-A or SFOD-D. SFOD-A is your regular U.S. Army Special Forces, SFOD-D is Delta Force. Just a little bit of helpfull info.

For one thing, I do not want to start using adapted or customized addons in these missions.

For another, once you start counting the vehicle addons, there's not much of a difference in the amount you need to download.

My purpose here was to show off addons by ORCS, LRS and Edge that look great in pics but I've hardly had a chance to try them out until now.

I'm hoping that some mission maker out there will get inspired to put these mostly dormant addons to good use in more original missions than the small conversions I put out now and then.

Guess what just landed in my inbox!

[Messiah 2]

hear hear Avon... its about time missions started using all these addons that came out... the mission i've just finished has all in all 8 seperate addons, some quite large... but most of the community should have them, and they are quality addons... anyways, trying out the missions now  

[edit]

good news about the email, hope it all works

I updated the ReadMe text in my first post. Thanks!

Just watch out for those OMONs! Nasty!

I'll have to kill everyone in Montignac first to find out if it works.

Er... sry, by custom i meant user made vehical addons and not stock BIS vehicals.

Quote[/b] ]For another, once you start counting the vehicle addons, there's not much of a difference in the amount you need to download.

I meant that BIS vehicals dont match the quality of the soldiers you used and using others would definetly improve the missions, but we can do that ourselves.

You poor thing!

[theavonlady 2]

I've updated the pack to version 1.10.

As the ReadMe shows (see updated 1st post on this thread), I've improved and fixed things in mission Delta Clean Sweep II, thanks to the mission you sent me.

Other than the Delta Clean Sweep II mission and the ReadMe, the other missions remain unchanged.

A detailed summary of changes is listed at the bottom of the ReadMe.

Thanks Messiah! BTW, in the mission.sqm you sent me, there was a rogue addon reference for basmh47_185. JFYI.

Also, on landing, the Blackhawk bounces in a little but manages to avoid smashing into nearby trees and the fortress bunker.

[Messiah 2]

strange - didn't add any bas units, even to play with....

r.e blackhawk - yes, its does bounce in every now and then... unfortunatly, just using load waypoints with the player as leader of the group it would hover till you ordered your men to board (strange) and the land commands forces them to switch the engine off (not very spec ops like)

the landing area is pretty small, so just need a little tinkering with the waypoints / move the landing area. Hope you liked the intro  

[edit]

just read the readme, thanks alot for the credit, althought the burning bmp script was TJ, so he deserves that credit, i just use it for my missions (script has proper credit in though)

enjoy everyone

[theavonlady 2]

just read the readme, thanks alot for the credit, althought the burning bmp script was TJ, so he deserves that credit

I said you supplied the script, not that you authored it.

But, yes, TJ, wherever you are, thanks, as always!

[Messiah 2]

aaah, gotya anyways, hope the intro is ok - its not to my usual standard, but i wasn't about to mess around for 4 hours making a spielberg type script when i was using the original music etc

[theavonlady 2]

aaah, gotya    anyways, hope the intro is ok - its not to my usual standard, but i wasn't about to mess around for 4 hours making a spielberg type script when i was using the original music etc

It's just great! A little something that the original should have had.

I made a small update just to the ReadMe:

1.20 - Removed from requirements the following two addons that are not used:

LSR's Russian Federation Special Forces (GRU)

Rudedog's JAM addon for LSR's Russian Federation Special Forces

It turned out that these GRU units, released by LSR last year, are not used in this mission pack.

Sorry for the extra downloading.

I keep getting an error message whilst playing Delta Sweep II.

When I LAW the BMP I get the message ==>

"Cannot load mission, missing addons: bas_mh47185"

The BMP still explodes and burns (Nice Effect BTW).

I d/l'd all the addons needed. I even d/l'd Jam 2 again just in case it was that but its still the same

Am I the only one to get this? Any help is appreciated.

Interesting. When you play, do you have BAS addons in your Addons or mod folders that are available during OFP?

I'm running here from a mod folder with no BAS addons and I do not get the message when the BMP is destroyed.

Are you sure you're playing my Delta Clean Sweep II mission and not Messiah's fixed modified version of the original mission, which he just released today?

edit: I'll test this out again, just in case.

[The_Oakster 0]

I have the BAS addons in a mod folder and they are in the shortcut -mod etc etc.

It definitely is your mission, I d/l'd it from this very thread this morning

[theavonlady 2]

Then there's a conflict bug in a BAS addon when the fire.sqs script gets run.

I just tested out the mission from a mod folder with no BAS addons. I added the LAW to my gear in the mission briefing.

I took out the BMP with the LAW. Nice fire and sparks but no BAS error message. Again, this is a BAS error.

BTW, I made another tiny change:

1.21 - Added Russian RPGs to ammo crates behind western tent area in mission Delta Clean Sweep II.

I'm very tempted to remove the LAW as a selection option in the briefing but I'll refrain for the moment.

[The_Oakster 0]

At least we know where its coming from.

I will try and find the conflicting .pbo and I will post it here then at least other people will be able to avoid it.

Thanks for taking the time to help me.
