Bloody hell mate, that's excellent news!

Then we can have officers shooting like this:

...any volunteers for the job, or will I have to pull out ol'OFPAnim and do it myself?

in sanctuary's anim thread theres a replacement anim that does just that

[honchoblack 2]

what Bonco said, Sanctuary has made the exact animation already, check it out on this page

Campain is looking great so far Pickett I'm on the

third Mission and still alive without saving

as for game play ,enableradio false in the init.sqs file

is almost a must as radio chatter kills the atmoshere.

on the scouts mission, in the init.sqs I think it should

be "removeallweapons player" and not "player removeallweapons this". I think this should fix the error message.

Other than that it's been great so far. I'm looking

foward to blasting a big hole in Gen Renolds head

The latest pic shows the fit anim , it seems suited to the wanted era... Nice mod though , it gives a new touch to ofp by avoiding heavy battles with tanks,choppers and planes

Excellent!

Man, I want to HUG sanc! Not just did he become a saint by creating the pistol anims replacement, but now he is a god for me!

He MUST have created 'em thinking about this mod... But we need a more "western" style too, with the arm less straight, a bit lower... You know.

Shame I'm not aware of a guide to use OFPAnim, I have the program and I'd love to create something for the mod.

The main question...where is Gavin?.. have he gone into exile?.

  ´

Because..its like..2 weeks since i last saw him post :P

AND OMG!!! THAT INTRO TO THE CAMPAIGN!!! That surely bring back alot of memories.  

Thanks Pickett. I hope the other days will be aviable in the near future.

The best intro ever made... I gotta admit that..omg..im like...WOW!.

Triglav I was thinking when you started this MOD did you think it would go this far? how you like my new avatar.

[WhiteCastle 0]

In the thread for Sanctuary's new animations (for the pistol) it states that we should alter some entries in the config. I was wondering if someone might alter them accordingly and post a link to the new "correct" file that we need to use these excellent, era-fitting, animations. I know many of us are laymen, to use the term, and are pseudo-inept when it comes to understanding/making such alterations.

...and oh yeah, as it is the first time I've posted in this thread, I wanted to say what incredible work everyone who is involved in this project is doing. I'm amazed! Keep up the good work!

@tsala

No, I had no clue. When I started it was a tiny wee little mod, just for my own use...then all you people joined in and it became what it is today. And it looks like the monster is still growing...

@WhiteCastle & others

Pistol anims are being reworked as we speak (some small alterations are being made in some pre-shooting anims as well, to make it completely compatible with CWMOD). The CWMOD PistolAnim package should be ready for download in a shortwhile.

[WhiteCastle 0]

Hooray!

Excellent News!

Looking forward to the new animations.

Just got done testing out the new units in the addon pack, and I must say,

the drummer, bugler, and new flag bearers really add to the atmosphere of the battles.

[Sepe 1]

I still remember my sorrow when I had problems with the 1.0 because of philcommando's pirates and the old napoleonic mod...

Luckily I didn't give up and saw the development of this great mod.

You guys have done a great effort on this mod. Past, present and future members. And I see Triglav hasn't quit like he threatened to... That's great!

And if you like, there still is 50€ in my wallet... I'll find some better use for my money though. No, not beer. No, not a big car. Yesh, a replica of a .45 Colt Single-Action Army revolver

[Guest major gandhi]

just tested it, damn guys, this mod is great !!!!! you 've done a really good job

[gavinthecat 0]

Yup im still about, im working on something mysterious and special for ya all, be careful on the expansion of these old units tho, id like a bit of talking on that first ;) im available on msn, it looks nice, but this new unit pack does replace the old one, so if ur wanting to make new units chaps rather than take the old one and edit it, talk to me,

At the moment im also looking at some custom animations also, tho one thing we do have is a new face pack of about 30 rough random faces, these will be automatically be applied to guys, u wont need to type blah blah.

Anyway more pics are coming ;)

[Triglav 0]

Err Gavin...oure agreement was specifically about NOT replacing the old units with your reworks, but offer them as an extra alternative.

Therefore you're not to use the same unit ID's, but give your units new ones.

ProfT made good expansions based on existing ones, and some more are coming up.

Your work will be a welcome addition when it's made...

[gavinthecat 0]

Oh dear... well I think that you know this is not true, for it is no coincidence that every unit pic ive been showing, for all these guys, berdans to zoauves have been newer versions of the old ones... so if what you say was true, im sure you would have found an earlier time than this to say...

The authority of this mod was based on me acting as editor after you LEFT as mod leader triglav, I took over as mod leader to administrate work. Now triglav, the old work u want to keep eh?

Well, for weeks i have worked on a different agreement, the one you have suddenly changed for the sake of ur vanity, well... lets see what happens

[Triglav 0]

I didn't make the units just released, ProfT did.

And Pickett made the campaign.

You just complained about their work being released.

So, now we have to ask you permission to release stuff in a mod we made?

Our rifles are used by Napoleonic mod as well, so are the smoke effects, bayo scripts and anims.

Those were all released to the general public to use as they came from them as well.

But my old units are my work, it was agreed that your units would expand the mod but not replace all units we've made.

BECAUSE: People downloading stuff should have THE RIGHT TO DECIDE which units they wish to play with.

You know our initial agreement was your conversion of the mod, but not by removing old units, but by adding new ones of the same type, that people can use according to their own preference.

Yup im still about, im working on something mysterious and special for ya all,

Mysterious and special ?

In what way ? Fact is, the new units seem to posess the special ability to be invisible,

as i have yet to see one.

Much less then recieving any to test my campaign with. (I finally gave up waiting)

Instead have to learn here that you expanded your field of expertise to animating as well

wich is a most welcome in general, but does that tell me that after several postponements I’m in for another one ?

I’m not waiting untill doomsday for you to finish anything so I can continue my work.

If you want to talk, fine, I’m right here and below is my addy.

[gavinthecat 0]

just come in on msn picket ill give u a release date, but man, with such love picket i cant wait to just rush off and finish it lol

[gavinthecat 0]

Yup well, im off to another land, where i might feel a little more love, I am quitting cwmod, because i want you to be honest here chaps, love me or hate me, i aint exactly been made to feel too welcome, (and some would say i never was)

In any case im going to make my own mod, cos I feel way too much like a pariah here, and im working my ass flat out, picket, moaning about the units? the team beta is tonight...

But see how long it takes u to make units, weapons, cannon retextures and new AI combat, in the same time in the midst of ur exams...

Triglav is retired (he may change this) cwmod can fall to whoever wants to be admin, (if it even has one)

I updated a lot of cwmod stuff, that we can share with the 2 mods, for exclusive stuff im sure we'll keep that to ourselves, but in good spirit we can share technology and scripts as they come active.

Well cwmod, goodluck and goobye

[Triglav 0]

Well...some chaps are modding Unreal Tournament to feature the Civil War...

Check them out, they're making really good looking stuff:

...seems we are arguing for the donkey's shadow here...

[BadAss -Mapfact.net- 0]

I just happend to see the release news this morning and unfortunatly only had half an hour for testing. But the great atmosphere has caught me immediatly.

This is a really cool new OFP experience.Very recommandable indeed even for those that are not into this topic like me.

Just a short comment, for i got to team up with the scouts now!  

[gavinthecat 0]

Righty oh, well for u guys who were following the units, dont worry, there not all going away, im simply going to utilise them in a new mod focussing on the civil war, (bit of the wild west) and for some post war units for the mexican civil war.

I'll get my own thread eventually, but given our mods arent in competition and are sharing technology, (there is no reason for anything too bad to feel i think)

In any case Picket, the 'something mysterious' was in fact a new GUI, ive converted it for the new mod which will be called 'House Divided' although you already have a gui at cwmod, if u need any help improving it, i can offer some tips i learned, in any case heres a pic
