Includes the following scripts (mostly from OFPEC):

General Barrons' cover.

General Barrons' Multiple Onsingleclick handler

Strango's MoveCar, edited to my own needs.

Babalon's Enhanced destroyed vehicle effect

Keycats Grouplink

Igor Drukov's blood script

Pilots' Firefly script, slightly modified

Hawkins' Gooktalk script

A couple of the Orcs' effects scripts (plane,tank,boat)

I am a bit of a script magpie, so if I've used something and not credited my apologies.

Includes sounds from Aeons' Nature Pack addon:

and the insects from Mapfacts sound pack1:

and miscellaneous Royalty free (hopefully :-D) sounds obtained from the internet.

------------------------------------------------------

The Officer is unlikely to be in the same location 2 games running.

Sometimes you'll lose communications with the pilot, sometimes you won't.

Best enjoyed with DXDLL (http://koti.mbnet.fi/kegetys/flashpoint/dxdll10.zip) but watch your object count, if it's too high it will cause lag. If in doubt have a look at the thread here:

http://www.flashpoint1985.com/cgi-bin....t=40962

To use the Airstrike use the radio call and click on the map within 5 seconds where you want the napalm to hit. A target will appear to indicate where the plane will drop the bombs. The same instructions apply for Artillery.

There will be a savegame added with every objective completed.

Feedback welcome.

Agreed, but I had originally made the basis of this mission pre-Handsignals. Also, there's a lot of getting in and out vehicles and re-arming in this so it kind of rules it out.

Hopefully you'll enjoy it and won't find any bugs. wink_o.gif

I've got some troubles running this mission. Intro goes smooth but when it ends i get a message about missing addon VTE_sebobj. I've got patched version of VTE beta and there's no vte_sebobj.pbo in it (i checked original file x_vte_open_beta_11-03-05.rar and it's not there (i know it's unpatched but there in no this pbo in patch either)). Any ideas what can be wrong? Is it my VTE installation or what?

And what's more HS system is not good to use with Group Link because IIRC GroupLink can support only one group that is being 'hunted' and HS uses many groups under player's command.

Maybe, but I'm not sure. I've checked my x_vte folder and I don't have a vte_sebobj.pbo either, but what I do have is a sebnam_obj.pbo. Looks like this file has been VTE'd and is different to the one supplied with the SEB pack.

Mine is dated 03/11/05 and is 7.54mb, instead of the SEB one which is 24/11/02 and is 4.18mb.

Hope that helps. smile_o.gif

Indeed.

*cough*

Sorry, felt like a bump.

I know 'Nam isn't fashionable at the moment and VTE is a huge download whistle.gif but I would hope this mission offers something different.

Nam is a fascinating nightmare, nothing to do with fashion

but nearly 500 Mbyte download is a lot and most of your download links are no more working (mission and addons)

I think I managed it to get everything, hope I also get time at the weekend to play

will come back to report

Ack. banghead.gif

Hopefully [HC]Para will update Mekong Delta so it can be used independantly, for the moment I'm stuck using VTE. All the other units could be easily be SEB instead. That would probably cut the download list by about 400mb...

Links updated/changed. Hopefully they all work now...

Good luck!

a good mission, intro and outro are very good

sneaking is not my favorite, so I had some issue at the beginning as many enemies rushed to the firefight, it might also have spoiled to some degree the later part but the straining patrols keept me bussy

maybe you should think on the story?

were does the Artillery come from?

All targets are in the open, why no major airstrike?

What about exchanging roles? (I haven't seen many vietnames missions around) Have a vietnames team sneak in to sabotage american installations. Supported by some hidden mortarts.

Or remove artillery, make airstrikes unlimited and more planes, but long time until attack and unreliable were they hit.

So once you identified the target, you need to get far away, call the strike, then get back and finish what they missed

or maybe it is simply me who does not understand tounge2.gif

Ups, missed this reply, sorry quiet man.

Thanks for the feedback and suggestions. Quite often with missions I end up getting caught up with the technicalities and not the storyline so your comments are probably right. I spent hours and hours setting up the patrols and unit placement which now could be done in 5 minutes using DAC. smile_o.gif

I might consider converting this to VC one day when I'm back in a 'Nam frame of mind.

Cheers
