How do I start OFP on Nogova?

[Celt 0]

Basically I want to start OFP running the Nogova Island, as it is my favorite. How do I edit the target line to make OFP start with the island Nogova?

I tried adding -map=noe, -map=nogova, -island=noe, and -island=nogova.

this is my current target line:

"C:\Program Files\Codemasters\Operation Flashpoint\FLASHPOINTRESISTANCE.EXE" -nomap -nosplash -mod=res;dxdll

You need to edit the main config.

So you change the Initworld=Intro to Initworld=Noe

the reason its desert island i think is cause its the smallest island and takes the least time to load up cutting the load up time down.

To get it to start with Nogova you would need to do as llauma suggested and edit the config

You need to edit the main config.

I guess you mean the main .cpp file buried within a large PBO file Llauma?

Cuz I can't find any reference to Initworld in any .cfg files.

If so, this is no simple task.

If so, can a "mini-mod" be made to do a simple patch of the normal .cpp ?

Like call a;

-mod=@NewInitWorld

And in @NewInitWorld, new .cpp that calls the old .cpp and overlays a new;

class CfgWorlds

{

initWorld="Noe";

demoWorld="Demo";

};

....... or do you have to replace the whole .cpp ?

I'm talking about the config.cpp/config.bin in the bin dir.

I don't know anything about configs.. I just know that the start world is defined in the config and by default it's 'intro'.

OK Llauma

But I found a way, but not sure of the full implications of unpacking the CONFIG.BIN file to a CPP file. Probably not much except maybe initial load time (could even be shorter! ).

How to;

- Find your CONFIG.BIN file in the OFP RES/BIN directory

- *MAKE* a copy of it just in case.

- Open it with BINVIEW >> http://www.downloads.thechainofcommand.net/

- Use ACTIONS/EXPORT to make a cpp file version.

- Rename your CONFIG.BIN to anything (like CONFIG.BIM)

- Open CONFIG.CPP in Notepad

- Find

Quote[/b] ]initWorld="Intro";

in the text

- Change it to

Quote[/b] ]initWorld="Noe";

and SAVE

Now run OFP and your starting island is Nogova.

As it was pointed out, this makes load times longer.

This isn't a troubleshooting issue, not sure what forum is appropriate to move it to?
