Bobcatt666 0 Posted February 28, 2005 NVGs were used in the later part of Nam. Most of that equipment is still in use to this day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stelios 1 Posted February 28, 2005 The safe animation is part of sanctuary's pack? Must be 1.5 then, cuz i have 1.4 and it doesn't have the safe anim. Ah well, i'll install 1.5. And during the real major combat phase 1965-1968 NV's weren't in all-round use, if in use at all. Those units seem to me like early stage NAM units(with the M14 and all) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big Dawg KS 6 Posted February 28, 2005 Ranger, yes, he just released his new new updated v1.5 patrol with the patrol files allready included, can get it here. As for the NVG's, removed from the config, they can be added by mission makers though. I also replaced the RTO's modeled in radio with SEBNams radio classed as a secondary weapon.

Fab. 0 Posted February 28, 2005 One question : does the helmet fall from the exact head's position or from a fixed height ? By this i mean does it look good if you kill a proned or crouched soldier ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big Dawg KS 6 Posted February 28, 2005 No need to worry, it looks real enough, the height is a random value, as well as velocity, and rel pos to the body, so no matter what anim you are engaged in, the helmet will fall so quickly and with so many random variables that you won't be able to notice anything wrong. Trust me, a select few have allready seen it in action and have agreed. Edit: Also if you are thinking about implementing it, I will throw together some sort of tutorial on how to do it then some examples and post it for everyone to see. It definatly adds a nice sense of realism and an incredable sense of how screwed you really are in combat  Edit 2: Incase you don't believe me, this was taken right after I shot him (in slow motion of course), the helmets z velocity in this picture is positive, so it is flying up off his head. In any other positon, in noram speed, it looks like the helmt just falls or sometimes even "flys" off. This also works well when the units get blown up.

Silent N Deadly 0 Posted March 1, 2005 More correctly....I was looking at his eye through his scope....ok, ok, we were both looking down each other's scope. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big Dawg KS 6 Posted March 1, 2005 Yes but remember, I shot first anyways incase you missed the post on OFP.info, I released the helmet demo addon here. The purpose of the demo is for one, for everyone to try out and see just how it looks. Second, addon makers who want to use this can use the demo as an example. As I allready said feel free to improve on it or change it in any way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sepe 1 Posted May 4, 2005 You are the king! Or at least a count. That's what we've been waiting for, it's annoying when you might need a sniper rifle AND a assault rifle on your mission and you can't take 'em. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chops 111 Posted May 4, 2005 Sweet! These units look great! Seems like there's been a gap in the quality of released 'Nam units compared with other theatres and scenarios. At the risk of sounding like a ghoul... would this helmet flying off thing work with arms and legs too ? I like the sound of the deployable M60. The .30 cal system released with Invasion 44's demo was great. Are you planning something similar? I hope so! I'd love to see a machine gunner carrying the M60 with the bipod at the front raised (like all the others), then when deployed, the machine gunner is manning a pivoting machine gun (same weapon model, but with the bipod down), could use a better anim too... How about a bit of a suntan or some dirt on those lilly-white forearms? I hope you can get my point through all this drivel Oh one more thing...could you please create a magazine for the radio? That way you can select it via the action menu and (using eventhandlers) "fire" it to send a message/play a sound file. Could show up in the inventory as a radio battery perhaps?
