FlashFX replacement Units

[Pappy Boyington 0]

Just wondered how this works online?`

As good as the Y2K3 mod is its abit hard on the fps, example is i get 112 FPS in the start of the default vulcan sp mission, load up Y2K3 i drop to 9..lol

i get 5fps with out-of-the-box installed OFP   you forget "vulcan" has well over 300 soldiers, 20 some odd choppers and like 12 tanks. edit: all moving at the same time

the maker of that mission... was not thinking.

as far as the BAS helos used to replace the default ones. you could always do what i did and leave the FFARs in there.. but just have them "magicly" fired from the helo. i did that in Y2K3 and althou it is a bit "weird" the FFARs in the H60s are rarely used in game so really the newer model and textures would look alot nicer flying overhead and in cutscenes

So if u're sure that BAS helicopter with the M60 isn't used only by specop , I'll imediately replace it  

Simple the name says it all; UH-60L Utility Helicopter.

This means it's simply a basic version.

The basic UH-60 used in Iraq looks just like this one. They also have the doors removed most of the time.

There is only one MAJOR problem with using the BAS blackhawk; yo are not allowed to modify the model in any way (you are allowed to change the textures if you ask). So you can't do a version with FFAR's.

This makes it almost useless for the FlashFX mod.

You can edit it but only for private use

So I can't edit this chopper ... just only for a private use

Ok, I think I'll add new "ammo" class to be able to replace the UH60 ffar by BAS one with far and others weapons

the UH60mg will be replaced by M60 version

BIS GUI will be replaced by a new one

and maybe BIS weapons infos will be replaced too

sorry ramboofp , I 'ven't received it , maybe you may put it on a ftp

[eestikas88 0]

Who twisted the cannon!?

But that GUI is really nice. (looks a bit like Swissmod one but who cares)

[Thunderbird 0]

Yeah I've used the data of the swiss mod , but I've encountred a lot of bugs with this GUI , I think I'll creat a new one basing myself on a fdf data

[eestikas88 0]

Yeah,FDF mod one is better!

A Bit Random But, is there a way to Use the units without the Flash Fx? I Mean all the units as replacements without the Effects and Crashyness caused by 1.8?

[Thunderbird 0]

Yes , don't worry , you'll have a working config in multi very soon and with all working effects, believe me

hi , here's an example of the incoming GUI in the next update

[eestikas88 0]

[Thunderbird 0]

This mod is AWESOME!! I enjoy the fact you kept the 1985 "flavor" with the game.

However, I have 5 gripes:

-no BAS blackhawks or chinooks-why?

-the west should have an m16a2, not an m16a4 :P

-Something I noticed on the y2k3 mod that isn't in here is the distance ai can see. You need to make them see further away like in y2k3 I put two groups east and west close to each other and they wouldn't fire at each other.

-Some of the resistance tank crews are russian.

-ofpec blood? Can we get this enabled? I noticed it is in the addons but not ingame.

Otherwise, this mod is awesome

Hi

Ok , I've noticed that , I'll accomplish this enhancements at soon as possible

but don't worry , the release date of the CONFIG WORKING ONLINE IS FOR TODAY

I want to try out this replacement config , cause i dont want to replace original addons like the g36 and others like in y2k3. But i want it as a mod and i cant get the installer running when i created the mod folder FlashFxUR and copied the installer and the newdta to it. It says dta.pbo not found . So do i need to copy the res dta.pbo into the folder?

And whats meant with the addons already in the mod folder , cant there be addons twice, one for normal ofp to use in multiplayer and

one for the replacement?

[subfaction 0]

it would be great to have a big zip file with everything you need, so you could simply extract it, and then copy to your ofp mod folder, without all the seperate copying and downloading of different addons.

how about it?

You may execute the install.bat in your Operation Flashpoint/Res repertory

So with my mod you won't lost your G36

I 've already done a big pack that contain all needed addons , but I don't find any Ftp wich can unpload my 240 mo

Sorry it may stay like that...

[Itseme 0]

Yes i Could do that but then it will overwrite the original config or?

And i need that one for multiplayer.

@Itseme : It'll be very nice if you can do that
