456820 0 Posted May 29, 2005 so since your working on the installer it means its coming very soon also do you have a file size and the installer on 3.5 for me took a long time to work i open it up and it pauses and about 2 mins later it goes a bit faster then puses again then about 5 mins later finishes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thunderbird 0 Posted May 29, 2005 That's totally logical that it occured like that, it was a huge file though , the FFUR 3.5 was 760 MB , the incoming FFUR 5.0 would be 5x better with 70 % less addons and all units replaced you can expect to get the FFUR 5.0 the incoming week/weekend Best Regards Thunderbird84 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
russin 0 Posted May 29, 2005 request:could you also have a DL in RAR format i seem to allways have troubles with the exe   Perhaps, but not initially. The release of the mod will be on a .exe installer, but if I have free time I'll make it a .rar and upload it. We're also going to be doing a version using 7-zip (ultra compression - sometimes 65% ratio) to allow smaller downloads, but that will come later too. Our primary aim is for the .exe, since it's the most user-friendly. thanks ill be waiting Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thunderbird 0 Posted May 30, 2005 Hi mates , Unfortunately there's no way to replace BIS islands by better ones from the incoming FFUR extra pack 5.0 without overwriting BIS islands. I'm wondering if you still want them ? I can do a backup pack with BIS islands for people who won't like the new islands. Best Regards thunderbird84 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
456820 0 Posted May 30, 2005 just edit all the trees and plants like in ffur3.5 becuase i dont really care Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thunderbird 0 Posted May 30, 2005 It doesn't concern only the desert island , it concerns all BIS islands cuz I'll gonna replace them , so make your choice now though. would ya like that the incoming Extra pack overwrite BIS islands or ? btw I'm expecting to put online a backup pack allowing you to get BIS islands if you won't like the incoming ones.

bunkerslusken 1 Posted May 30, 2005 In that case, what will you do with the Desert and Winter Replacement packs? Will they just be winter or desert units running around on the BIS default islands? It's not exactly like you can overwrite them again, is it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thunderbird 0 Posted May 30, 2005 yeah , unfortunately we'll have to overwrite each time the islands , but we'll do a backup pack with BIS original islands . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tomislav 0 Posted May 30, 2005 yeah , unfortunately we'll have to overwrite each time the islands , but we'll do a backup pack with BIS original islands . to be 100% right their will be a backup for original islands by bis, new woodland island versions, desert island versions and winter island versions, depending on what you want to play you'll have to change the files in the worlds folder, as long as no one beats marek to change that you'll have to do it this way Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
456820 0 Posted May 30, 2005 if your replacing the Bis islands wouldnt that mean that playing other missions wouldnt work becuase town's and places will be in different places? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thunderbird 0 Posted May 30, 2005 nah they'll still at the same place , but better houses , better trees , better bushes, and better resolution Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MATRA 0 Posted May 30, 2005 nah they'll still at the same place , but better houses , better trees , better bushes, and better resolution Wasnt the 4.5 ver. had new islands too? Or new textures? You shoud rename FFUR to "Proto-Armed Assault Project" Regards Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
456820 0 Posted May 30, 2005 oh right then in that case add that to the high end config and leave the it out for the low end computers becuase its bound to cause a load more lag. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stealth3 0 Posted May 30, 2005 Any missions coming with this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thunderbird 0 Posted May 30, 2005 nah bud , Quote[/b] ]The FlashFx Units Replacement is a total conversion mod wich replaces all BIS units in the 4 sides (west,east,resistance,civil) by the best addons and effects ever done by the comunity , this total conversion mod is based on the era 1985 in the goal to make more realistic and authentic BIS campaigns and missions Regards thunderbird84 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
456820 0 Posted May 30, 2005 Quote[/b] ]1985 in the goal to make more realistic and authentic BIS campaigns and missions Okay that seems fine but a bit back someone said this wasnt really made to play the original ofp campaigns just newer things like user missions. Anyway any closer to an ETA? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thunderbird 0 Posted May 30, 2005 Quote[/b] ]Okay that seems fine but a bit back someone said this wasnt really made to play the original ofp campaigns just newer things like user missions. Nah mods like BAS , UKF , DKM , Roc , VME etc etc bring new thing without replacing BIS stuff The pack should be ready the incoming weekend , if you still have any interesting proposal for us , do it immediately please cuz we'll start defintively making the installer though. btw there would be some cool surprises for ya Best Regards Thunderbird84 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
