Thunderbird 0 Posted June 21, 2005 Yeah , it isn't so complicated and doesn't deserve so many explanations, all you have to do is to keep your operation flashpoint clean and organized by regrouping your extra addons in kinda mod folders. you must have only BIS (Original addons) in Res/addons and in Operation Flashpoint/addons . A computer with at least 1.2 ghz , 256 MB DDRAM and a good graphic card if you want the sky pack. Maybe you must have a computer a bit higher than that if you want also the Islands pack Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
456820 0 Posted June 21, 2005 okay ive been testing this for TB84 and i have had no trouble with CTD's in the latest version no bugs nothing linked to CTD's so the mod has been given the all clear *i think* But please remember keep your ADDONS AND RES ADDONS FOLDERS CLEAN using mod folders A tutorial here Follow that and you should have no problems also make sure you have ALL memory hogging programs closed for example - Msn messenger - Internet explorer - Any kind of virus/spy ware scanners and anything else anlong that nature and this should work I did have problems with the older pack but no more since i kept my addons folders clean and kept all memory hogging programs closed The new size of this is now 303MB it used to be 318MB dont ask me why. I think thats everything, the new version will be out soon ithink Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Until now we've several "Ok" from beta testers to release the pack , everything works perfectly if you respect the philosophy of a 'clean ofp' Regards TB84 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MilitiaSniper 0 Posted June 21, 2005 Just a guess, could it be that FFUR just interferes withany other mod which you're using militia sniper? 'Cause you mentioned FDF before - are you using different mods at a same time? ~S~ CD I have BOH and the Civil War Mod, besides FDF! Sincerely, MilitiaSniper Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1in1class 0 Posted June 21, 2005 Hi 1in1classWell, i downloaded the FFUR and install it in my OFP without any error when starting the game. And i had lot of addons inside the \Res\Addons folder... I think maybe you should remove those addons that are not standard in a clean install of OFP. Here is the list of clean install of OFP's \Addons\  and \Res\Addons\ folder: If you found other addons that are not in that list remove them to another mod foler... well make a new folder in ..\OperationFlashpoint\    example  @myaddons  than just remove those files into that folder new folder ( @myaddons ) After install the FFUR you can try to move over some of those files in your @myaddons back to \Res\Addons or \Addons  But remember, don't move over a dublicate addon, than you will get errro when starting the FFUR thank u for this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scottlee 0 Posted June 21, 2005 It seems different animations used between east and west unit. East one looks cool, but weird a bit to me. Is there any way I can get it back to previous one(as west unit animation)? In addition, I found your 'aimPrecision' setting was not applied in East units, especially in crouch and lying position. Config says it should be "5.5"(Stand), "3.3"(crouch), "0.75"(lying) but in crouch position the reticle seem to get frozen to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bushlurker 46 Posted June 22, 2005 FFUR 5.0 (updated) Install Instructions (pre-release) Yo Troops! Just thought I'd say that I've been testing the new repacked FFUR 5.0 all day and it's working fine... no crashes whatsoever... I reckon it'll be released very, very soon, so here's some advice in advance to read BEFORE you install, hopefully saving time and unnecessary hassle for everyone... Some of this is going to sound a little simplistic and maybe even patronising towards those of you who know what you're doing - sorry! It's just an attempt to make basic stuff clear as day for those who don't have your skills or experience, so bear with me you guys! Firstly, as TB, Maximus-sniper, 456820, and a few others (including me! have said repeatedly... put this last short waiting time to good use and tidy up your OFP folder if you don't want to do a clean install! I didn't - I have loads of addons and also Y2K3 and E:ECP mods installed, and I didn't want to reinstall them all, so what I did was to make use of the lists that have been posted here... FFUR... it's a MOD, that means it lives in a MOD FOLDER... EVERYTHING it needs, everything that makes it FFUR, apart from the core game engine itself is in that folder... the folder - and therefore the mod - is added to the end of your shortcut, so when you run OFP, it runs with that mod in place... if you run OFP with your ordinary shortcut, you should get ordinary OFP - no mod folder, no mod, and OFP will run fine because all its files are there and nothing has been changed... Now I've got a lot of "loose" addons piled up in my \OperationFlashpoint\ADDONS and OperationFlashpoint\res\addons folders, and I want to keep them! Sometimes I just want to play Resistance with a few assorted addons... Fine! you can do that! 456820 has posted a link to a tutorial just a few posts back that you should read, then you'll know the score... Get ALL NON-OFFICIAL addons you use OUT of your regular two folders and INTO a personal mod folder, then you can add those addons at any time just by adding that mod folder to your shortcut. Because these mod folders only contain addons, you can use more than one, for example, for a jungle test mission I used... blah/blah/mod=FFUR;@JungleIslands;@JungleUnits;@MyAddons at the end of my shortcut... I have similar folders set up for desert and winter addons There might be a bit of confusion here about the actual term "MOD folder"... there's a slight difference between a "MOD folder" like I hope you're just now gonna make for all your assorted addons, and a "MOD" like FFUR, or FDF or Y2K3, etc... Yes, they live in MOD folders too, but they'll also contain a "config" which tells the core engine all about the new units and the new FX, etc... this config will be loaded along with the mod, and it'll be the one the game engine uses while you're playing... since total conversion MODS all have a config, it's obvious you can't run more than one at a time, since the game engine can only handle one config at a time, so you CAN'T have FFUR and Y2K3 at the same time... sorry. However, you CAN have as many MODS as you like INSTALLED - as long as they're well-programmed ones like FFUR and Y2K3 which live entirely in their folder and don't change anything... you just use different shortcuts, and in this case duplicates ARE allowed! If an addon is in the Y2K3\addons folder and also in the FFUR\addons folder that's fine! Because you can never confuse the game by running them both at once, conflicts will never occur... so to be on the safe side, leave the contents of those addons folders alone! Everything in there is in there for a reason! Clean up your addons and res\addons folders using the list provided and put everything non-official into a new mod folder... READ THAT TUTORIAL - it'll tell you everything you need to know! On with the show... The installer has been changed, and is very easy to use... The default installation path is now ...\codemasters\OperationFlashpoint (without the space) which I think suits most people, but if you're using GOTY please check that, I think GOTY uses... ...\codemasters\Operation Flashpoint (WITH a space) If you're not sure, USE THE BROWSE BUTTON in the installer and make sure it points to your existing OFP folder. The installer will also ask if you want to uninstall a previous version of FFUR - if you haven't removed it already via control panel\add_remove programs - say "yes please" Once the installer has done it's stuff you'll find a proper, working shortcut on your desktop (no uninstaller link this time Next up is the skypack, which has also been relocated and now works perfectly... Once you've done the initial install, go to your newly-created FFUR folder and take a look inside... you'll spot a "sky pack readme" file.... go on then! read it! It says " run the 'install.bat' file"... close the read me - Yup! sure enuff there's an install.bat file - you run it, wait a few minutes, and the sky pack is in - no problems possible here now! Finally - configs... This is also a bit confusing for some people, but it's been vastly simplified now... Basically there are 3 configs, 2 of which are for Single Play and 1 for Multiplayer... First things first... you're still inside your FFUR folder, right? OK then, you should see a folder called "bin" - take a look in there... Yup, there's lots of stuff, but the only one we need to worry about is the file called "config.bin"... there's one in there, so we've obviously been provided with one ready-installed so we can just "plug-and-play", but suppose we want to get rid of the exploding bodies, or try the multiplayer config... First thing to do is to preserve the existing config so we don't lose it, so RENAME it to "config.binORIGINAL" or anything which will remind you which one it is and stop it from getting overwritten when we install a new one... Now let's wade into the "FFUR 5.0 Configs" folder... it's right there beside the file you just renamed... Inside here you'll find Multi and Single Game configs... we want the multiplayer one so we go inside that folder, and there is the new "config.bin" waiting for us... COPY (don't cut) it, step back up to the "bin" folder we were in before and drop it in there... that's it... FFUR is now configured for multiplayer use... If you wanna go back to Single Player sometime, just do the same thing but copy one of the Single player powerful configs into the "bin" folder instead... (you can just keep overwriting the one in "bin" now since you backed up the original, and you're copy/pasting so you're always leaving a copy of the config back in the config selection folders.... OK - I think that will get just about everyone up and running to start with, and hopefully will avoid a few basic errors people got stuck with the last time... You're gonna LOVE it, people! T-Bird and the Team have really pulled it together this time! Anyone gets stuck! Don't panic or freak out or blame the mod... just come here and ask... that's what the forum thread is for and that's why we're all here! Someone WILL help! And if you find any bugs or hiccups or general wierdness... come here and report it and I'm sure The Big Boss will fix it! See yall Bushlurker Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thunderbird 0 Posted June 22, 2005 Thank you very much for these great explanations Bushlurker , this is A PERFECT TUT to install the FFUR mod for people who don't know very well OFP ... That will avoid them to complain about their own errors in the future. Best Regards TB84 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_Nebular_ 0 Posted June 22, 2005 Hi thunderbird Could you please reduce the movement of the weapon while walking cause now it' s moving way too much compared to the walking speed of flashpoint. Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
456820 0 Posted June 22, 2005 but this way its more realistic and more challanging combat in ofp especially the recoil no more head shots from 500metres away Also when i was testing the latest version i noticed the standard Russian soldier canot walk and fire so you have to stop to fire is this just happening with me resistance and Nato units can walk and fire though ??

SoldierIsNotHistory 0 Posted June 22, 2005 Ok... So... ¤Your mod is for too high config! ¤Your mod not allowed user to choose his installation. So if user want to uninstall your mod, he can't, he have to reinstall OFP. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thunderbird 0 Posted June 22, 2005 LOL I'll let people to say ya the contrary (*at first there's a config which's pretty low intended to low configs) (*FFUR gives the choice between 3 Configs) better to ignore ya and your friends...your mentalities have a kinda "flaming" attitude...

Placebo 29 Posted June 22, 2005 People have to know who is ThunderBird84... I've had a number of dealings with Thunderbird in the past, at first there were one or two problems, now he is a highly conscientious, constructive, committed member of these forums, through his mod and through his regular forum postings. Coming on here with the sole purpose of attacking an individual because of alleged actions elsewhere is not acceptable. These are the Bohemia Interactive forums, we judge people how they behave here and only here.
