456820 0 Posted June 2, 2006 Those screens look fabulous. Great job. As for the masks/bala's i think for night units they are a must but not really for day units as elite seal suggests. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
echo1 0 Posted June 2, 2006 After all take into consideration that the majority of pics you see of SOF units in Iraq/Afghanistan don't wear masks/balaclavas. Most of the pics Ive seen of Spec ops in afg/iraq are of men with bushy beards, shades, shemaghs or boonies. Maybe TB could make some of them for the desert pack Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big-Rooney 5 Posted June 2, 2006 Good point CH most of them do have bushy beards. But back to the masks for day units I would say No night ones yes. BTW TB84 are you guys still working on the old packs and is there any chance of seeing a desert FFUR 2006, that would be cool Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Elite SEAL 0 Posted June 3, 2006 As per masks in desert locales: Three words gents, Under Armour Heatgear, such as the Tactical Heatgear Hood which as per the description on the official website is. "Thin enough to provide form-fitting comfort on its own or beneath the helmet. Offers full facial protection that extends below the neckline. Converts to a neck gator, with a drop chin for full ventilation." Theres also a coldgear range that looks roughly the same, and with the same black/olive drab color schemes as heatgear (plus midnight navy and army brown), and combine these with a pair of Oakley Tactical A-Frames and you'd have the perfect Night Black Ops headgear .

MrZig 0 Posted June 3, 2006 Looks like your pack is coming along pretty nicely, Thunderbird. Do you still have a lot of @'s in your scripts? They cause a lot more script deffeciency than a simple ~0.1 loop. Since @ is 0.005 if I'm not mistaken.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tariq 0 Posted June 3, 2006 Two questions for TB: First, I was wondering which value to edit in the config so that ai doesn't spot enemies from such long distances (I want to change it back to bis default). Since I play with 1000 view distance, ai often spots enemy vehicles before they are even visible on the screen. Second, is there a noticeable improvement in frame rate from 2005 to 2006? I'm still playing 2005. Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
echo1 0 Posted June 3, 2006 Yeah, I was playing Retaliation campaign, the enemy just keep pulverizing you from afar. I dunno where the correct balance between realism and gameplay lies but yeah, something that has to be looked into Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jackal326 1181 Posted June 3, 2006 What you have to realise is, existing OFP missions/Campaigns were designed around BIS values (for the most part). There are going to be compatability issues with practically ANY conversion mod be it Y2K3 or FFUR etc. As such, many missions will be unbalanced, is just going to be a case of editing the missions yourself to balance them out (reduce the number of tanks and/or increase the number of AT infantry etc).

Cpt. FrostBite 0 Posted June 3, 2006 How are those French troops for Euro? And will we see any French vehicles? I'm also interested in those french troops. The OFRP troops are still great, but are getting dated (textures especially). We could use some better ones Really looking forward to the update of FFUR2006 btw! Keep up the good work!

Thats not actually FFUR, if you are using the island pack which comes with it, the forests dont act as much cover and AI can see your jeep from the forest. Try turning them off, i actually switched my islands to some retextured grounds and retextured resistance plants still looks good but doesnt break any missions.

Big-Rooney 5 Posted June 4, 2006 I've been having that same problem with the retaliation campaign. I put my Islands back to the BIS ones but the resistance machine gunners still riddle the UAZ with bullets. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebns72 0 Posted June 4, 2006 I don't really like LSR's troops as the specops, simply because they feel out of place when compared to the rest of the HYK and US troops in terms of proportion, quality etc. Perhaps you could release the models for the other woodland specops and I could do a manual config replacement?

mp_phonix 0 Posted June 4, 2006 the bug that you spot enemy from 1000-2000m is really anoying and breaks a lot of BIS missions like the "Camping" in the CWC campaign, when you go get the truck you are being engaged by a BMP Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
triumph 0 Posted June 4, 2006 the bug that you spot enemy from 1000-2000m is really anoying and breaks a lot of BIS missions Maybe TB and his testers can spend the time waiting for that missing addon by playing through the campaigns and adjusting for broken missions Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

echo1 0 Posted June 4, 2006 I think checking through each and every of the 100+ official mission to check for breaks everytime you tweak a few units is well....a rather tedious waste of time to be honest. Especially when its hard to play through one mission the same way twice Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Especially when its hard to play through one mission the same way twice no man. not playing to check every bug, but to see how the 1000-2000m breaks mission ! here you go, a list of them: "Camping" - CWC campaign : A bmp-2 that standing about 1700 m away from you shoots you when yo go with bergfho to get the truck "Huting" - Your tanks are engagin the AT positions and causing mayham through the battlefield {that was kind a nice thought, but still} The mission that is after "The Pass" - you squad tank "Tiger" is being wiped out by the tanks from patrovice, when they shouldn't ! {the mission where you have to blow bmp & t-72 so your tanks can siguys as them and enter patrovice} thats just a few, the only thing im asking is to fix that 1000-2000m bug !

456820 0 Posted June 4, 2006 "Alert" Think this is with 2006, your squad says COMBAT before the radio call and BMP rounds fall in the base. I know thats happened with FFUR think it was 2006 version. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Â Â all you gotta do is lower your view distance in your video settings. doesn't look as good since nowadays I can play at about 2000m meters view distance, but in CWC and Resistance Missions I don't get shot at by units at 1800 meters...
