For the AI script he only changed some settings, mainly the config.cpp to enhance the AI enemy in the goal to make more realistic combat (accuracy, camouflage etc...). Beta testers are testing it now. It will be published shortly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Reven 0 Posted March 19, 2005 I especially am looking forward to the health bar - surprised no-one thought of it earlier... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Desert-Rat 0 Posted March 19, 2005 Looks great It gives an Lifebar now hm? like an Ego-Shooter? or do you keep the realism? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pandalefou 0 Posted March 19, 2005 Can we eraze the life display bar or desactive it Because i don't think it will fit with OFP... but sound very impressive (and we will have i think something like 500 mb downloads) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Desert-Rat 0 Posted March 19, 2005 I have seen an lifebar before this , you could take max.5hits and you have actions like "sleep"(recover health as longer as you sleep) and "first aid" it was a realism pack , the enemy shout for help an so on , was pretty nice or if the skill from an enemy is high he would find you easyer than an enemy which have low skills.

iNeo 0 Posted March 19, 2005 I was kinda sceptical to that lifebar at first but then I thought irl you know pretty much how hurt you are, in OFP it's hard to know, so I think it's a good thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Desert-Rat 0 Posted March 19, 2005 In OFP it was very difficuld because you could die after the first shot or max. 4hits where ever you get hit, by a headshot you won't run anymore   Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tomislav 0 Posted March 19, 2005 the life bar changes nothing on the realism, it's just for a better overlook of your situation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sektor 2 Posted March 19, 2005 I like the clean screen without any indicators on screen, while on foot (realism, anyone?), so I'm asking is it always on the screen or you need to use a button, like the compass or watch, for the health bar to apear? This way it could make sence, because in OFP your health bar is very small and it doesn't take much to drop to zero, so it is full in one second and empty in the next one. Why do i need it, then?

Reven 0 Posted March 19, 2005 Are you ready for this? It's 750Mb. I think you can get rid of the health bar by erasing it from your FlashFX directory as it's only a misc addon (not integral to the function of the mod). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Totala 0 Posted March 20, 2005 Great ! Congratulations TB ! Downloading  Edit : downloaded : great job as usual : a simple error message when I launch FFXUR : Addon 'OWP_Mi26' requires addon 'OWP_Crew' I guess you did not added Mi26, thus it must be missing a couple of addons or so ... I'll fix it quickly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
