@ Dec. 18 2004,07:29)]So anyone can use our effects in his mod, but ORCS & Maxpain[ORCS] names should be in readme file.

Glad to see you like our work.

I don't wanna push it - But am I, or anyone else, allowed to, well, "extract" the scripts from the PBO for that very purpose?

If anybody from the ORCs team read this thread ,

I have a qusetion about the cannon flash effect .

Is it possible to make the flash smaller ?

I added the custom shell type to the snaretype list and it works fine , allthough the flash is too big for the weapon size (30mm) , can this be altered ?

[miles teg 1]

WOW!  That must look VERY impressive with an autocannon firing on full-auto!!!  I'll have to try that.

With stuff like this and with the new tracers scheduled to come out with that M1A2 tank addon soon, finally battles will look like real life modern battles with horrific explosions, the whistling of shells flying over your head, bright tracers wizzing by, and the massive flash of cannons along with the small flashes of small arms fire lighting the night.  

Hopefully eventually the best sound fx, explosion/flash fx/ and ammo fx will be added into one big pack.

Operation Flashpoint just keeps getting better and better.  Best game I ever spent money on.

Thanks to all. We're working to make OFP better.

2 MCPXXL: Use it by addweapon command in your missions. Also do not forget the activation string in "init" field:

[this] exec "\ICP_rd54\init.sqs"

Hi Denorc , i would really like to include the muzzle flash effect for the release of an APC , allthough as i mentioned the flash is far to big for the weapon calibre i am trying simulate , is it possible to shrink the flash size down to simulate a 30mm weapon ?

[miles teg 1]

Yeah that would make for a good update to this pack....a realistic auto-cannon muzzle flash for infantry fighting vehicles along with the existing big tank muzzle flash for the larger tank cannons!

Miles Teg do you have any idea why that cool firing effect wont work with your M1A1 Abrams AT ammo?

With HEAT ammo it works and I checked many times that I added the AT ammo too.

Ok, I'll add this effect to the next version of effect pack

Thanks

It's better to use the whole pbo like you did with effectpack and TactEvents. If you want to talk about that in details, knock to my icq 215875915

Can I use this backback addon without the ICP weapon pack?

Furthermore, I use FDF as a base for pretty much everything. Will this back pack addon conflict or simply not work with it?

Simple answer... try it!

RD54 backpacks addon works without weapon pack and doesn't has any conflict with FDF...

Awesome. This looks like it has a lot of potential for missions.

[mcpxxl 2]
