Rifle Shot

[longstreetcsa 0]

Hello fellow soldiers!

I was wondering if anyone has thought about prolonging the reload-animation of the muskets, so that the loading sequence is as long as it takes to load the weapon and that the soldiers are ready to shoot as soon as they are able to take aim again...

Yours,

Longstreet

Not possible. The maximum time of reload anim is something like 16 secs and the voices continue as a compromise.

But hey, we have the revolver that takes ages to reload. Maybe the same trick could be done to the rifles?

[Triglav 0]

It was a compromise.

Default OFP reload takes 3 secs.

Already that was at least doubled for the reload anim. If stretched more, the reload anim will look slow-motion.

The sound, as said, is the compromise...think of it, that once the gun is put to aim position, the shooter is inserting the percussion cap and cocking the hammer, then taking aim...

...or something.

[Sepe 1]

Don't worry. In OFP2 we'll propably be able to see the man put the bullet and gunpowder in, then cock the hammer and pull the trigger... Maybe.

well i would be happy with Battlefield Mod's reloading animations they are nice, some of the modding community's work is also very good

[tankieboy 0]

Go play Battlefield then.

This is OFP.

Could you post a link where one could take a look at these "Battlefield Mod's reload anims"? Maybe screenshots, videos etc. Or if "Battlefield Mod" means a mod for OFP, maybe even a download link? (Preferably not a direct one)

But I'm very satisfied with the current anims anyway, about 1000% better than the ol' good BIS anims I used to play the original Napoleonic Mod with...

It's a CW mod for Battlefield 1942.

Here you can see a CW mod for Medal Of Honor:

And a rather beautiful looking CW mod is being developed for Unreal Tournament 2004 engine...

Thus as you see several FP shooter games have caught the attention of Civil War enthusiasts, and mods are coming up.

IMHO OFP still offers best editor and tactical situation environment though...

I also play the strategy game Bull Run rather a lot:

Why the Hell can't I seem to find that game anywhere?! How old is it? Did you buy it from a website?

[Sepe 1]

Shame they don't make good games nowadays.. Only arcade-shooter-crap. And good ol' CW games are impossible to find.

Yeah.

nah i meant insurrection 1776 for BF vietnam, the reload anims are great, u can see the ramrod and everything

[Sepe 1]

That's an engine issue me thinks. That's why you can't, even in first person, see the magazine token off in OFP. But you can't see much of the reloading of CWMOD anyways, so who actually cares if there's no useless fancy-pancy-eye-candy?

[Inferior Being 0]

Wow... just wow... I just got Bull Run, and have been playing for two hours to end with a huge, orgasmic smile sported all over my face. Anyone with a sense for hardcore realism and battles three times larger than just about any Total War game, should get penetrated anally by a loaded Napoleon Cannon, crew and all, for not owning this game allready!

Couldn't seem to find it at a store, but their homepage has plenty in stock for ordering.

Anyway, my point is: I've just recently reformatted my computer, but hasn't installed the CWMOD yet, as I can't stand having to look through 87 pages for all the stand-alone add-ons like Prof. Tournesol's new formations and so on. However, Bull Run really got me into playing this era again, so I was wondering if someone could PLEASE post all the new add-ons not on the front page here for me if it's not too much trouble? Or perhaps you can simply Email me them? That would be highly appreciated! Thanks.

Teh units and pistol anims from CWMOD's site, PC:s horse (which aint CWMOD but anyone playing CWMOD *must* have it, even if they wouldn't use it) from OFP.CZ

EDIT: So was there anything else you need? I'll be glad to search 'em up for you, no really, I ain't got anything better to do anyways.

[Inferior Being 0]

Thanks a lot. Really appreciate your kindness. Now I'm only hoping for Mr. Tournesol to put his formations on display here...

[Baskis 0]

This mod is looking great

[Sepe 1]

What formations are you actually talkin' about? Me thinks he just posted some pictures and that's all. And never judge anything by pictures, because Triglav has even posted a picture of the Gatling he's gonna release in the next pack. *Pulls a remington and points it at Triglav* Rightt?

[Triglav 0]

Oh it's a' comin' awright.

Gattle-gattle-gattle.

Some other stuff too.

[Inferior Being 0]

He sendt me the formations by Email at that point. One where they line up in a single rank and one where they form up in three ranks. He also gave me a stretcher beta. But now that I've reformatted my computer, I beg humbly that he send me them again, either by Email or by slapping them down here for all to download.

[Sepe 1]

Once and for all! Everyone wants to use 'em anyways, so why only let some people enjoy and the rest suffer? Well the formation script was of course pretty easy to steal from the mishun. But if they start releasing stuff behind my back...
