walker 0 Posted August 17, 2004 Hi flashoflight There are several Mods that upgrade OFP they all run from MOD folders so they dont screw up your Resistance setup. War Games League (WGL) An excelent conversion of OFP very good for Multi Player. Great Smoke effects. http://www.flashpoint1985.com/cgi-bin....10;st=0 Lots of maps on their forum. FinMod Great conversion with nice effects gives loads of finnish units as well as new Russian units. http://www.flashpoint1985.com/cgi-bin....;hl=fdf or http://koti.mbnet.fi/~fdfmod/ Dont forget to give the big addon sites a look lots of missions there too http://ofp.gamezone.cz/ and http://www.ofpec.com/ The top site editing as well I would be remiss if I did not mention our own site http://www.website.thechainofcommand.net/ We were the first to put mines in OFP, We brought swimming to OFP with our divers addon. We brough proper indirect fire artillery to OFP that is simple to use and terrifying to see. Topedoes, Cruise missiles, Nukes. We also extended command and control with the command engen so you can now have gigantic battles in OFP commanding multiple sections platoons and companies. If you have a chance pop over to Zeus to play some big MP Coops with WGL and CoC Artillery lead a squad or scout for the artillery or fly CAS in copter or command the whole all arms mechanised company.http://www.ofp-zeus.com/nuke/ Kind Regards Walker Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
m21man 0 Posted August 17, 2004 Quote[/b] ]is there any mods or graphic updates that don't work well together that i should know about? DXDLL should work for you, I have the same graphics card. As for mods, you can use hisky with any mod. However, you can't mix any mods that replace the primary config (Examples being CSLA, FDF, ECP, and WGL). The only mod that you shouldn't mix with Hisky is WGL. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flashoflight 0 Posted August 18, 2004 ok thanks again guys for the help.. got the game today.. installed a few mods already.. but im not happy with how the game is performing.. its running slower then it should on my system.. like its lagging or something.. anyone know what it could be? is there something i need to change to get it to run better? for an older game it should run great on my system..

Placebo 28 Posted August 18, 2004 It doesn't work like that, modern games are optimised for modern Directx, modern graphics cards, modern drivers etc. But that said with moderate tweaking the game can be made to run very well, for one thing don't set your view distance too high, depending on your system 2000-3000 is good, main killer is terrain detail, don't expect very high to run well, personally I go with very low as I prefer the detail in other areas Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gordy 0 Posted August 18, 2004 also turn off the vertical sync. I had sth like 20-30 FPS with it. Now it gets way beyond that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flashoflight 0 Posted August 18, 2004 yeah i see that terrain detail is a big hitter in performance.. i have it set to high with view distance at 1500 or halfway.. it really craps its self when i get it to highest.. atm it seems to be able at high with view at halfway.. i will play around with the settings.. but yeah your right.. the game is not optimized for the latest computers... but still but anyway the game looks great with the graphic updates.. its still the best war game ever i reckon.. was way ahead of its time when it came out & still is.. no game yet has matched the sheer size of the maps & battles of this game yet.. its pretty amazing.. i still find myself being scared in the middle of the woods with a tank or two rolling around outside.. cant wait for ofp 2.. amazing game still... again thanks for the help guys & girls?

The Real Armstrong 0 Posted August 18, 2004 Some lag can also be caused by the number of mods you've downloaded. Try using mod folders. Search in Avons FAQ for it here: www.theavonlady.org A fun thing about OFP preformence is this thread: http://www.ofpec.com/yabbse....d=19008 "What? You shouldn't have that high? You bitch!!"
