FlashFx Units Replacement pack 5.0!

[ConfuciusOFP 0]

sounds so good im about to wet myself in anticipation lol, nah, 300 is great, only about a 2-3 hour download with my speed ADSL, but just out of curiousity, have u got any plans for OFP2 or Armed Assault? cuz i bet that u will be able to improve on them, no matter how great they are when they come out

Huh

Why not ... but I think that we can trust BIS , btw if the community of OFP will follow the same way of Operation Flashpoint for Armed assault or for Operation Flashpoint 2 by doing tons of new stuff better than BIS incoming one then I will maybe expect to carry out changes though

Let us see at first how both of games will be...

well i think they should kick ass, judging by the screenshots, n also, i think ill need another new graphics card lol, but back to what this topics about, i think that maybe the one thing that this game, and any mod needs, is a high altitude bomber or transport, i think that if u could, in the next version u should try to incorporate one of them, or some arty, that would give alot of missions alot more of a realistic feel, have u had any ideas about arty?

[Thunderbird 0]

The main objective of the FFUR mod is to improve OFP by replacing all BIS stuff (effects, addons, etc) and enhancing the realism.

Honestly I prefer not to add more new external addons in the goal to reduce the size of the addons folder.

However if you would like to use an artillery piece or a bomber plane, you'll have just to put the wanted addon into your addons folder.

problem being, there isnt really many decent bombers, or there isnt much arty either, the CoC thing is gettin a bit outta date, but anyway, have u made the water explosion effects better on this one? because as far as i can remember, there were just normal explosions on the previous versions

[Thunderbird 0]

The water effect has been improved a lot by combining a lot of scripts from several mods in the goal to get something of pretty decent. Just read carefully the first post of this thread. You'll notice that there's different water effects , for APCS, Boats, Helicopters , Planes .. plus a splash water effect has been added.

you say the csla m16 is the best so far i have to disagree with you from the looks i prefer the Y2k3 m16, it has the long front grip unlike EECP wich makes it feel more like an M4a1, but i havent seen the csla m16 in action also try and use jam2 so all combat time is lengthende therefore making better and longer missions

Good work hope to see it soon

Y2K3 uses INQ's CS imorts, which are not acceptable for hardcore ofp fanatics ;)

Personally i'd go for Earl's stuff reworked by Laser, as CSLA M16 (judging from screens) looks bit bulky, but still very good

Yet another spectacular improvement on your last work. Its amazing to think that every time you guys get together, you manage to make it even better. Kudos! Anyways, I can't wait for the download, but I have a question. The islands - I understand that you're only going to change the islands with the other winter and desert packs? If that is the case, then can I ask whether or not the current 5.0 pack updates the original island in the form of better ground textures and resistance objects and so forth? This is one of the features that improves Flashpoint's graphics tenfold (well, that and DXDLL) - as I remember this was included in previous releases. Will this one have this same feature, or should I start looking for texture and object replacements myself?

[ebns72 0]

I like the texture of the m16, but I don't like the model...its just a retextured version of the BIS one. But before I start ranting, i just should just wait to play with it

For those of you who have bandwidth limits and can't download much more, I'll be compressing the pack after the initial release into 7-zip, which should make it around half the normal size to download. However you'll need a 7-zip decompresser, such as PowerArchiver or the SourceForge 7-z Project. I'll post links to the programs when I release it.

The pack will also be available as a .zip archive instead of the installer after the initial release, but right now the first pack being released is the installer.

You've not played it yet

I've finished the installer script, now all I need are the files. A few more days at most, if I find time.

And thanks for all hard work on this superb mod. Actually it is my favorite to play Red Hammer missions.

I thought: whooa, new 5.0 thread and it already has more than 1000 posts, but it's just the topic title that has been changed. Glad to see release is imminent.

[sickboy 13]

looking good FFUR team..looking very gooood!!!!! Can't wait!

One question: Multiplayer / dedicated server compatibility? And if so, is it limited (and in what way, if limited) or fully compatible an full features available?

Thanks!

[Airbourne Alchaholic 0]

Even if it is compatible it will be impossible to find a game that uses FFUR, or that people might be playing on it.

[Thunderbird 0]

Actually there are 3 servers which use the FFUR 3.5 , I hope that there would be more people who will use the FFUR 5.0 for their servers though

Btw please people just wait a bit , the FFUR v5.0 beta has just been uploaded now, team mates will test it carefully in the goal to be sure that there's still any problem then Reven will start to make the installer.

I have just a question, will enemies still drop their weapons and such? This was one of my favorite features from the old version, but it doesn't seem to be listed on the front page...
