OFP basics

Recommended Posts

Hi to all OFP community,

I bought this game about July last year mainly from its reputation of being very realistic. I haven't played much, for various reasons, but now I have the opportunity and a dedicated server to put some time on it...and play some coop missions with my fellow members of the team, also new to OFP.

However, I would appreciate your help in some things:

1. I have the GOTY edition and the latest patch. But the graphics are a bit outdated. Would be any popular mods of modern warfare (us marines, M4s, humvees etc) that you could suggest? I know that the mods in this community is a bless or sometimes can be a curse...:)

2. Animations although in 1st person brillian in 3rd person not so brilliant. I have heard that there is an animation pack that improves the original game

3. Any coop missions? Again I'm looking for very simple stuff at the beginning...i would imagine that every mod has its own coop missions. I'm looking for 1-2 mods with very good coop missions...just to start...

4. Is there a dedicated server software that I can upload to the dedicated server...or I have to upload the whole game?

Thanks for your help...

i too have only revently discovered ofp. its v damn cool to play.

a plugin called dxdll or something really improved graphic look without much overhead.

also recommend the sancanim animations and EECP/y2k3/ flashFx unit replacement. they are all good.

also try finish defence mod. it is v well made.

are you the same tomcat as reality friends? if so i really enjoy your website (its where i 1st learnt about vsb1 which encouraged me to buy ofp GOTY edition)

Really looking forward to ofp2. with better graphics i hope as like you to me that is the games weakness (though its still pretty damn impressive for a 4 year old game) when compared to new games. gameplay and movement and dynamics wise it's much better than the other.

-Best of bests:

ECP: Probably the best mod, it improves gameplay with lot of things, new explosions, effects, scripts, etc... really amazing, this is a must have smile_o.gif

Dxdll 1.0 from kegetys: Add lot of new effects to ofp, like water reflection, postprocessing efects, etc...

Llauma high res sky: Add new high resolution sky, very impressive

High resolution islands: This replace the old CWC textures with a new really better ones.

-Mods that change defaults bis units with better ones: Y2k3, eecp, wgl, flasfx replacement pack.

-Total conversion mods:

FDF: Finish defence forces, mod about finish army, probably one of the best.

CSLA: Mod about checz army, really impressive

BAS tonal pack: This pack add a new island located in africa, with desert, jungle, etc.... it cames also with new units, soldiers, armored, air vehicles, etc... and obviosly with campaign.

-High quality addons:

All of: BAS, ADF, Laser, DKM, ORCS, RHS, UKF, OFrp, Lowlands, Combat!.

pd: Apologize if i forgot someone smile_o.gifxmas_o.gif

thanks for that....as new to OFP I am a bit confused with all these addons...

If I understand correctly the majority of the addonds...are replacing units and mission scripts for the sp missions and campaigns...so u can play each one separate...

From what i can gather dxdll is a mod that works with all the versions/mods mp or sp?

Also, I want to introduce OFP coop missions in a couple of players that we play together....what missions (2-3) would you suggest that demonstrate the clever AI and have nice graphics...I'm more of a mp coop player than sp missions...

thanks

P.S. Idea for a mod would be to replace them robotic voices of the radio...cause quite a few new players are put off...by that...:)

Dont worry, just go to coop servers and start to play, u don't need to have missions on your computer, mission downloads before the game starts, btw, usually, coop server have her own addons pack, so before enter go to his web and download it smile_o.gif

I got OFPwatch...downloaded about 2g of mods...still cannot join a server...a couple of times getting kicked cause i don't have the addon, although watch says i have, and a few other times..OFP won't start give me illegal operation or something...

ok..here is what i want to do...cause the way it's going i will give up...

1. need to improve the graphics, and I believe dxdll is doing that and works with all servers all mods? Anyone has to suggest any settings for dxdll?

2. Need to start trying some coop missions that don't need addons...can I play coop missions with flash or Y2k3 mods..if all clients and server has it...?

3. What is the best way to go about starting learning about CTI game mode...?

thanks

just found a great thread that really enhances your flashpoint experience.

it's got things like high res textures for isalnds, etc

which really bring out the best in ofp and measurabbly improves its looks.

anyway, posted this for any new people to flashpoint (like me)

cheers for that twisted...

will high resolution islands, skies and objects work only in single player or they can work with mp as well...? and in order to work in mp do they have to be as a mod..that both server and client has them..?
