FFUR - Huge Release !!

[ebns72 0]

The woodland is close to perfect. A huge improvement over the original HYK ones.

I can't wait till i see the camo on some '85 guys. That will be kickass.

Also, you may have noticed BRG just released some new vegetation. this would be great replacement on malden.

I think malden also needs some textures to make it more distinct from everon. It would be great to see it have its own nature pack and high-res textures to separate it from the other two islands.

OMFG there's just no pleasing some people    

The new woodland soldiers look top notch TB  

First of all It was trying too be funny. Second off all as I created this pattern I am quit surprised of these Improvements and would realy like too know what TB has done cause as it looks one these pictures its now darker than its supose too be although the older one looke abit lighter than normal in TBs final pirtures. The new soldiers ought too look like this:

but with updated shadows and blod. I am also woried about how the softning of the patterns edges has afected the RIP stock pattern.

Edit - I know this is right but why is the US flag put the other way around (I know thats how it really is but why was it done like that?) sorry for being a bit ot

The flag is reverse so it can simulate as if it was waving with the wind. So if a soldier is walking or running foward, it will make sense.

I wear BDUs almost every other day and I will say that they do look like the way TB made them when they are new. They have a nice, dark crisp look to them.

Hi,

Thanks for the kind words everyone, glad you like'em.

Definately.

Quote[/b] ]Hi all, my first post here.

Welcome!

Quote[/b] ] but then the AI shoots me when i can't see it.

This makes missions more challenging and it forces you be twice more careful than before.

Quote[/b] ]By any chance will these soldiers ACU and BDU be released as normal addons to be used in missions since the BDU is the best around IMO and so is the ACU so i would prefer to use them in my missions then any other but dont want to expect 56k people to download 500mb for just the soldiers which wouuld be replaced anyway

We will probably release'em as standalone once all packs are updated.

Quote[/b] ]STGN - why oh why are the crew wearing PASGT gear? Why?

STGN has provided us the basic pattern a while ago, that I used in order to retexture the US Army personnel.

But Now time comes to update the US Armored crews/pilots as well.

They shout "UP!" meaning the round is in the breach and ready to be fired

Thanks for answering

Sadly i don't need that challenge, being a random player. I'd like to use FFUR with my IL2team guys but all are random players, and we usually find the missions too difficult.

Is there a simple way i can mod AI shooting distance or would it be a very long and complicated work ?

If you can't answer fully, is there a forum i should search on this subject ?

Thanks in advance

I think the shooting is too accurate as well, i'm on the level where you start off in the woods and have to evacuate the island, and no matter what i do the russians know where I am and I dont even survive 5 mins. Its doesnt help that the hi res texture trees in the woods make it impossible to see whos shooting you and the m16 iron sights seem to be off since it seems i can no longer hit anyone unless there really close.

Dunno if you played that mission with stock BIS units, but that's one of the hardest missions of any game I've ever played... FFUR has improved the AI, but still, 5mins survival sounds about right for first few tries of that mission I did

I am also currently in a civilian auxilary of the military (I am only a teenager....) and I see lots of BDUs twice a week or so. The BDUs TB created look much more realistic an accurate than the previous FFUR ones. BDUs have in reality a much darker tone than ACU and other patterns. The ones in the previous FFUR are a little too light. The ones TB has are fine.

BDUs also get lighter and the colors more faded with use, not darker.

My only real suggestion right now for the BDUs is that it light/grey color in the BDU is actually a tiny little pinch more brown/yellowish in reality. Also, the brown is more...brown...see reference pics below.

Here is a random pic...this is IMO the "perfect" BDU color reference. There is no outdoor light shining on it to mess the colors up. If you want a good reference, this is it.

EDIT: did some crappy photoshop improvements to colors. Changed the brown and the lighter color to be more accurate. TB please take a look at this.

comparison...

If you want, I could even give it a go myself (the actual texturing part, not some photoshop job) to make them as accurate as possible. I can put my bdus on my desk to glance at em.

Hey TB, I was just playing through the old FFUR-5 beta and I remembered those nice Russian anims, I think ORCS made them. Was there any reason in particular why you removed them? I thought they were pretty cool, and made the Russians stand out from the US.

PS. Have you decided to replace the Cobra with the A model Apache, and the Patton with the M1A1?

[ebns72 0]

Hey TB, can the malden textures be replaced with the ones on elati island? They might be fatwombat's textures be either way they are fairly high-res and fit the mediterranean vegetation much more approriately IMO. Malden just doesn't "feel' the same with the current textures.

Greetings men !

The thing I'd like to say first is that I've been using(read enjoying ) FFUR since its 3.0 version and this topic link never gets out of my browser's 'Favorites'. Every new release gets FFUR closer to what I think of "my own perfect OFP"   in certain aspects, but brings new bugs and setbacks too. I'm not complaining, it's just the way the things are..

Sooo, there's a question I'd like to ask.

1) Noticed that armored vehicles destroyed in combat look exactly the same as new intact ones.

Befofe

After

Another one (Before)

Another one (After)

and another (before)

and another (after)

the last one (before)

the last one (after)

Am I the only one experiencing such problems or, maybe, its intentionally made this way?

EDIT:those nasty tpyos

Yeah that's one thing I have to admit kinda bugs me. Sometimes (other than the flames) there's no way of telling if a vehicle has been destroyed

[marine26thmeu 0]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure the destroyed models were different in the 2005 version. But for some reason the ones in the FFUR 2006 appear to be the same other than the fire f/x.
