eestikas88 0 Posted January 14, 2005 Can someone make a mission based on the battle in Vietnam 1965 there is a film based on that too: "We were soldiers" think it was in the "Death valley". It could be quite interestining.Or has someone already made one? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AdmiralKarlDonuts 0 Posted January 14, 2005 The Battles of LZs X-Ray and Albany were in the Ia Drang Valley, which is the terrain used for the island in the SEB Nam Pack. Nobody has recreated it per se, but there are plenty of Air Cav missions available if you look for them - OFPEC's Missions Depot has plenty to pick through.

sim 0 Posted January 14, 2005 Someone has actually recreated Ia Drang mission based on the film We Were Soldiers, it is alright and quite fun to play but it needs a lot of bug fixing and a high end comp to run it. Whoops forgot to say I can't remember where to get it from, try www.ofp.info sim Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cozza 24 Posted January 15, 2005 there was this one allong time ago when I was a regular on the OFPEC boards. forgot what it was called but it was cool We were soldiers made by pukingDog back in 2003. Man I havnt been on there boards in a long time Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eestikas88 0 Posted January 15, 2005 Actually it isn't so hard to make.Hey, i could make it myself! There were 400 US men against 2000 Vietnam men so let's use respawn script or something.As for the LZ just make for the choppers transport unload point.Then artillery script, and make soldiers shoot flares at night many savegame points then some bloody nights and a lot of napalm some radio messages and many planes for the "Broken Arrow" (as in the film) . And then attack! Then you see heavy machine guns pointing at you and huey gunship comes out of nowhere and shoots the enemy into pieces some cutscenes and in the end some wannabe news reporters come and ask you silly questions. Everything clear? Ok then. also the download link doesn't work Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sim 0 Posted January 15, 2005 Trust me mate they are extremely hard to make if you want to do a good job. It will take a long time to make something like that. @Batdog Yeah that was the one I was on about sim Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eestikas88 0 Posted January 15, 2005 I guess for that mission is required some voice acting. I have always thought about one thing.Why doesn't community work together when it is really needed.Everthing would be ready much sooner and everything would be much better. I figured it out that making this mission alone is hard. Please do not say dirty words now but what do you think if The best mission makers would join hands and make this mission or we (the community waiting for good missions) would make it ourself. That sounded wacky. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Winters 1 Posted January 15, 2005 I am working on one thats based on the events leading up to the ones portrayed in the film. There is a beta version i posted thats out but you need a fairly strong computer to play it cleanly. Thread here Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

eestikas88 0 Posted January 16, 2005 Last night i started working on mission LZ X-Ray (We Were Soldiers mission).Making a working LZ was hard,but i made it.I discovered that AI in OFP is more stupid than a 2 month old baby.So far i have only made LZ where 2 hueys will land and drop off 2 squads.Notice that in LZ ONLY 2 SQUADS CAN BE DROPPED OFF SO FAR but i making some progress.Can some advanced mission maker tell me how to make that support menu thing?This whole mission is becoming a mini campaign.Because the battle was about 100 hours and this is long.Campaign because of OFP can handle 64 squads on both side per mission and my computer can't so about 4vs 6 squads per mission. first pic Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eestikas88 0 Posted January 16, 2005 I think i will make only one mission because i'm too lazy it will be mini-version of that battle in Vietnam.Mission is already playable and laggs like hell still making some tweakings and fixing it i will use artillery maybe aerial support because i have to test it too and i want to keep my computer alive until my birthday.

cozza 24 Posted January 17, 2005 SEB nam pack 2 would be my number 1 guess Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eestikas88 0 Posted January 17, 2005 sebnam pack2 and COC artillery oh and don't hope that it is so great.It is a mini version of that battle and still lags in LZ fighting.You better get up to that hill and kill NVA there in 20 minutes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eestikas88 0 Posted January 18, 2005 I have learned some new things and i say this mission sucks. Guess i will make a new mission somewhere else and much better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Winters 1 Posted January 18, 2005 'Nam is a tough place to start as a mission maker, maybe you should try on some of the BIS islands first just to get your feet wet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
