UNN 0 Posted May 3, 2005 Hi, I've re-packaged my Forward Observer Addon, fixed a few bugs, added support for some more third party addons. Increased the dispersion of impact points and added some minor functionality. While this does not contain all the updates I would have liked, it does fix a few bugs. I plan on re-writing the Observer to incorporate all the functions I would like and those requested. Formost will be adding better support for other weapons systems and expanding on the strategic decision making. AI Forward Observer capable of calling in indirect fire over a predefined area. Observers have the same eyesight quality as Snipers, with the added advantage of using Binoculars more effectively than regular AI, in the role of static observation. This provides them with an enhanced detection ability of about 1000+ meters (depending on terrain and target type), while keeping within the confines of the game engine itself. The core system files are now contained in two addons: FOU & FCU System Addons These addons are required by default. If you dont have any of the follwing Mods\Addons then you can use the default OFP units and a Generic Mortar addon donated by GFX. FOU Default OFP units Defaul OFP units Observer Observer (Sniper) Black Op (Observer) Black Op (Day Observer) Spetz Natz (Observer) FCU 81mm Mortar By GFX (West,East & Res) The FOU Pack currently supports the following MODS & Addons if you have them.

I have update the addon and function names to reflect the OFPEC tags for the entire system, so it will mean any mission and scripts that use the old FO & FC prefixes, will need to be udated. My apologise for any incovenience to anyone who might be using the old versions, I can only say in future updates, there will be no more name changes.

Commando84 0 Posted May 3, 2005 hehe this is how it should be done! nice work UNN it could maybe be easy to add hyk units in a future update Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cornhelium 0 Posted May 3, 2005 Wahey! Great work UNN - your old observer is one of my most favourite OFP addons. Cheers, CH Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
UNN 0 Posted May 3, 2005 Hi, Part of the repackaging means, it's a lot easier for anyone to add support for new units. I will add support for the Hyk MOD, I tried to cover some of the popular, none WW2 addons, just not sure when. I've downloaded it, but not looked into the configs yet. If there simple enough, it won't take to long. Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
noundo 0 Posted May 4, 2005 If I have the other mods/addons what must I download here to get the pack to work? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bonko the sane 2 Posted May 4, 2005 very good job, thank you, very easy to implement and the sniper script makes AI snipers very lethal indeed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
UNN 0 Posted May 5, 2005 Quote[/b] ]If I have the other mods/addons what must I download here to get the pack to work? You need these by default FOU & FCU System Addons and any of the following. These come with thier own Mortars\Artillery: FOU WW2EC Mod FOU Finish Defence Forces FOU Invasion 1944 Mod FOU SEB Nam If you want to use Mortars with the rest, either combine them with the above MODS or download FOU Default OFP Mortar FOU LSR US Army Rangers FOU BAS Deltas/Rangers FOU Retextured Guerillas FOU Ghost in the Grass Sniper FOU WW2 French Infantry (demo version) FOU Liberation 1941-1943 FOU Marine Assault Pack v1.0 Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rekster 0 Posted May 6, 2005 This is a nice addition to OFP. I have already added it to a crCTI that I am working on. What other 3rd Party Addons to you plan to support? Be nice to see this work with the Paladin, and to COC UA. Good work. Look forward to future updates. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
UNN 0 Posted May 7, 2005 Quote[/b] ]I have already added it to a crCTI that I am working on. Nice one, let me know if you have any problems. This is exactly the type of mission I had in mind when I stated this. Quote[/b] ]What other 3rd Party Addons to you plan to support?Be nice to see this work with the Paladin, and to COC UA. Definetly COC's UA, but also any OFP addon via a forward command HQ addon I'm toying with. Unlike UA, I'm limited with my indirect fire scripts by the weapons muzzle velocity. Anything over 400ms does not really work to well. Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
