US Civil War Mod ver.1.0 Beta Released

[Triglav 0]

with the confederate officer

that none of their units could fix bayonets?

Thank you for pointing this out!

It seems to be an error, because in reb officer's config it says Musket (which is Springfield) insteadof Enfield.

Will fix it.

I can't seem to get this mod to run. I put the shortcut on my desktop and in the target box -I added the ending shown in the readme. When I hit apply-I keep getting this message;

The name "C:\Program Files\Codemasters\Operation Flashpoint\FLASHPOINTRESISTANCE.EXE-mod=CWMOD" specified in the target box is not valid.

What am I doing wrong??

it should be...

"C:\Program Files\Codemasters\Operation Flashpoint\FLASHPOINTRESISTANCE.EXE" -mod=CWMOD

All i can say about this mod is fantastic. Keep up the great work guys it is much appreciated. I'm having loads of fun with these new units   (If you can call walking towards a union line fun   ).

Well thanks for the reply....But I copied and pasted this and put it into the target box:

"C:\Program Files\Codemasters\Operation Flashpoint\FLASHPOINTRESISTANCE.EXE" -mod=CWMOD

and I still get the invalid path message.

The CWMOD folder (with its Addons and DTA folder inside) go in the OPF main folder,right? Or am I supposed to add the addons and DTA file to the main Resistance addon and DTA folder???

I'd really love to get this mod going..it sounds great.

 "C:\Program Files\Codemasters\Operation Flashpoint\FLASHPOINTRESISTANCE.EXE" -mod=CWMOD

That path is exactly what i have and yes you just put the CWMOD folder into the main OFP folder.If you have got any other MOD folders look at there target paths, i'm not sure if this is relevant but have you got a Radeon graphics card and if so you have to put -nomap -mod=CWMOD into the target box

this is what i have "C:\Program Files\Codemasters\Operation Flashpoint\FLASHPOINTRESISTANCE.EXE" -nomap -mod=CWMOD -nosplash so i can't see how you have a problem.

...or use the OFP launcher mentioned in the readme.

[pulseox 0]

I tried the launcher-it pusts up a screen that says "the countdown begins" and then the normal OFP menu screen comes up...

yeah, then it works, the new stuff is in the mission editor as everything else

[pulseox 0]

Wow!

I was thinking it would start a new campaign by itself-I didn't realize it was all there in the editor!

Thanks for the help-now I can start making missions to keep me entrtained!

Things are going faster than expected.

All low-poly lods are done.

Ammo models (if you drop bullets, you can make a nice pile of 60 Minie balls), clips, old binoculars, etc, etc.

I've also already started working on the Zouaves. Here's one:

[Combat Chaplain 0]

I was going to ask about those!

Their fez, the 'hat', wasn't that flat on the top?

These guys were said to be great fighters... Was that because they felt they had something to prove, dressed up like that? Kind of like "The Boy Named Sue"

[Triglav 0]

They wore all kinds of headgear...

Check some models HERE

And a note to missionmakers.

There were no Spencer rifles at the battle of Gettysburg.

These deadly repeating rifles, as well as Henry repeaters, were only more present towards the end of the war. Much like the dozen or so of Gatling guns used.

I know it's hard to fight with a puny musket, but it's what 95% of Civil War fighting was all about. Try to reflect that in the mission you make.

Thank you.

I stand corrected!

May I put in a request for the 2nd Maryland (CSA)? Aside from them serving MY side of the conflict, that's a cool uniform!

[Triglav 0]

May I put in a request for the 2nd Maryland (CSA)?  

That one is planned already.

As well as Wheat's Tigers, for the south.

And probably 14th Brooklyn for the north still to come...

who were they

[Combat Chaplain 0]

who were they

There was a fad of the mid 1800's of styling military units to look like exotic African or Middle Eastern soldiers that were considered to be elite. Something like the famous Ghurkas of a much more recent time.

These American units would dress in the exotic uniforms of the Zoave, or patterned after them, and train toward the goal of being (or maybe just consider themselves) better than the usual soldier of their time.

This could be likened to American Army units like the Rangers or Airborne wearing berets, before some rocket scientist decided to give berets to ALL Army soldiers...

[PainDealer 0]

ok that cleared things this is why I like historical MODs based on facts more than modern MODs. I can always learn something

cheers

Here's a southern Wheats' Tiger

[CanadianTerror 0]

Those are quite the southern sissy pants.

[Combat Chaplain 0]

Those are quite the southern sissy pants.  

As opposed to...

At least OUR Zoave doesn't have a tassel!

Seriously, Triglav, those are nice units, and I appreciate the choices you've made (particularly the Southern ones ). I'm REALLY looking forward to this next release!

[CanadianTerror 0]

Well, that just looks like one of Santa's elves.
