Y2K3 Version 7.3

[Pappy Boyington 0]

Anyone?

To get the correct Y2K3 experience, are "rifle tracers" supposed to be switched on or off?

shit yo i never saw that option before

they work on or off...

but the offical word after testing... rifel tracers turned off (via the options/difficulty menu) is the best way to go

Drules... But quick question... so are all Soviet Units like Russian now??

[seminara 4]

Something that would really add the final touch to this excellent mod would be improved island textures.

Has anyone developed retextured or higher res versions of the various maps - that would be compatible with Y2K3 of course?

@[HA]kgb-cccp: umm i dont know what you mean about soviet units. the east side was always russian... i just used orcs and sigma and some others to replace the default russians with better looking units

Yeah, I figured you'd seen it before.

I remember reading with Wolf's tracers that the rifle tracers actually had to be switched to "on", because he had replaced the stock tracers with 'transparent' ones. That was counter-intuitive and had to be addressed.  If you switched it to "off", you would get both the yellow laser beam and the big green ball tracer from Wolf. (double tracer)

I'll try it with tracers switched to "off" and see if I don't get the double tracers anymore.

wolfbanes tracers are only for tanks, cars, and helos.

bn880's tracers are for rifels.

so turning themoff wont affect wolfbanes.

when i tested (rifel tracers off) i was a shilka commander @ 11 at night. i fired several rounds intot he sky. wolfbanes tracers were visable. i jumped out and fired several clips.. and saw bn880s tracers from my gun.

so its best to turn rifel tracers OFF due to addons like suchy and earls weapons that use thier own tracers

edit: those are screenshots... but if u thought Y2K3 was heft. thats 500 megs for one island. suddenly BIS textures arent lookin taht bad

Question Pappy-

I'm currently editing 7.0 to use Suchey's Marines etc. I've created a vehicleclass for the men and I've input display names into the config for each one but when I go into the editor I see two of the same of some units.

[Pappy Boyington 0]

why are you creating stuff in the config? you dont create classes in the config. you edit stuff.

thats why your seeing double.

to use suchy/earl marines.. just edit the model path, and the wound textures

[m16a2m203 0]

Looks like I'm going about it the wrong way. What I want to accomplish is in-game a Soldier would now be a Rifleman if you place your cursor over the unit but I don't want a soldier and a riflemen to both appear in the editor. I assume I must edit the locations of the str_dn_yaddayadda areas but I don't knoe where that is located. Anyone?

[Pappy Boyington 0]

editing the name=str_blah to Rifleman should work just fine. editing the string table would not only be a HUGE pain in the add.. but pointless.

so if you JUST want to change the displayed name in the editor, then just changing the name line of east, west, and resistance should work

Yes, this was exactly what I was thinking about when I'd mentioned the bit about the islands. Is anything 'like' this available yet?

Probably a stupid question - but how do you 'turn off' the rifle tracers?

cuz i liked the pavehawks better. more colorful. personaly im sick and tired of the black one. but you dont like it? tutorial is on the Y2K3 site under information and "Customizing your ofp experiance" on how to change it. i did this cuz i know people like you dont think like people like me. so to make everyone happy i explained how to do it.  the tutorial helped many customize their OFP and even helped thunderbird learn how to do ffxur alltogether

And what's that supposed to mean? Do I sense a personal dig  

I'm merely stating that I don't think the Pavehawk is a suitable replacement for the bog standard UH-60, being a specialised role aircraft. What's this mod about? Realism or personal preference?

Under options, difficulty. 2nd to last option I think.

[ThudBlunderQ8 0]

Seminara,

"Options", "Difficulty", second line from bottom gives the option to turn off tracers.

edit: good on yer, Skypine, you bit me to it! Simultaneous posting across the miles eh?

Here are the CWC islands with Res textures: ofp.info mirror

and here with both Res textures and objects: ofp.info mirror

I currently use the second one, had no problems yet, but I haven't tried the campaigns.

[StealthTiger 0]

I'll put up a high-speed mirror on Stealth-Net when I get in from work this evening.

You can then download load it as fast as your connection can go - no restrictions 

(I'll edit this post and stick it in here)

Great JOB !!

I get a couple of error messages when I launch from your exe :

1) addon "BAS_derad" requires addon "BAS_weap"

2) No entry "Y2K3 custom-PE-XB-TR.bin/cfgweapons.bas-M4desACOG

However it works and it rocks !! Sounds are great by the way.

the BAS errors.. you sure thats with 7.0?

because i removed the BAS rangers and deltas. they are no longer needed. the BAS_Weap.pbo is still there, needed for the SOAR pilots. so in either case.. you shouldnt get that error.

the bas rangers/deltas are no longer used

and 7.0 includes the bas_weap.pbo. so  

Downloaded 24 hours ago from your links on first post ...at no more than 50k/s by the way

I launched Y2K3 with your own shortcut ... How can I make sure this is 7.0 ?

[Ronin[NR] 1]

Heya Guys!

@Pappy - Is Y2K3 mod MP compatible on a Win32 or linux dedicated server?

Edit - Never mind - Question was answered a while back..

[m16a2m203 0]

I launched Y2K3 with your own shortcut ... How can I make sure this is 7.0 ?

FOr 7.0 the startup gui has been redesigned. You should see the difference when the first cutscene runs and you can make your selections of campaign, single, multiplayer, etc.

no no no. i just ment thatpeople like you, people that have other personal preferances about what to use in place of BIS stuff. and people like me, refering to... well actualy i was refering to myself only but it just sounded funnier to use a multipul term

i didnt mean anything rude by saying "people like you" i just ment that there are ALOT of people out there that have changed some of hte things i used in Y2K3 because they didnt like what i choose. and thats fine, thats why i made the tutorial on my site. so please i ment no offense by that

edit: this mod is about replacing default stuff with better user made addons. its what i call "realisum for the gamer" im not a realisum freak.. i HATE total realisum in a game. pisses me off. this is a ballence between realisum.. and fun. realisum for the gamer means its realistic and kinda fun at the same time.

and to be honest, this mod is about alot more, but what i think draws more people to Y2K3 is personal preferance. the ability to edit Y2K3 using my tutorial to make these replacments themselves. for their personal preferance. as others just like the moderizing of the game.

@Totala : yes thats 7.0

[bushlurker 45]

Hi Pappy! Great Work!

I d/l'd from Edgefiles yesterday - no problems - took a couple of hours...

I also got the "BAS_derad requires BAS_weapons" error... took a look in the Y2K3 addons folder... BAS_Weap.pbo WAS there, but it was only 215k (assume it's a SOAR-only edit??)...

I had the BAS Deltas installed in res\addons, so looked in there and found a different BAS_Weap.pbo - this one was 32Mb... so I backed up the small version in Y2K3\addons and copied over the 32mb one from res\addons to Y2K3\addons... Problem solved - no more errors...

In fact - no errors at all - everything running smooth and fast!

Just also wanna say how impressed I am that you just went ahead and DID it... I've been watching the new ECP thread for a couple of months now without much happening apart from a teaser or two... You say "I'm not planning to update Y2K3" and then about 3 days later BAM!... totally new version!

Is that cool or what!?

[tophe 68]

Is this thing compatible with ECP?

Can I use both at once? Or is all cool ECP stuff allready in it?
