Vilas' addons

[vilas 478]

okay, thanx for report - i changed model path in Config, now crew of HRL won't cause CTD

fixed - just changed config file (this first, smallest one)

in future Soviet naval crew model will appear, now it is represented by regular soldier model

good idea to make a separate config addon , the updates are much easier this way :bounce3:

Here is a good set simple unit test missions thanks to Mopar:

p85_test_missions_by_mopar.rar

Saves you from placing the units in the editor yourself.

Also two nice and simple infantry capture the city missions playable in SP and MP by mopar!

(20+ playable slots in each)

The one requires Everon (SAP Everon or ACEIP), the other Malden (CWR demo or ACEIP).

Hey gents. Thanks for P85 it's a great mod. There are no missions so I made this one:

MISSION:

West German airbourne and regular army forces have landed on the Soviet protectorate of Porto. You and your squad of GRU Spetznas will use small craft to insert on the north eastern tip of the island. Once inserted, clear the town of Largo and move inland assaulting the German strong points along the axis of advance.

• Move quickly and quietly into the town of Largo and attack Objective 1.
  
• Use the cover of the forest as you advance forward into a covered position to attack Objective 2.
  
• Move slowly and assault the enemy infantry squad to the south at Objective 3.
  
• Finally move on the enemy camp at Objective 4 be aware that your assault will be met by covering fire from a small enemy position to the rear.

SCREENSHOTS:

I've decided to extend this into a 6 mission set/campaign. I'll release it mission by mission. Mission 2 occurs litterally seconds after the end of mission 1.

Part two is now available:

Would be nice when you make your missions on Schmalfelden or one of the ported OFP Islands and whatever looks alot more Cold War European.

and:

Porto is QG and alot of people around here don`t use QG.

[Alphadelta 10]

When I bought ArmA I got the gold edition so I didn't know which islands came with ArmA and which came with QG. I wouldn't have used Porto if I knew it was QG only. :(

I'm running out of space on Porto so I think mission 4 will be the last one there, and then I'll move over to Schmalfelden. There I'll start to introduce some of the other armed forces such as the US Marines, Paras and Poles.

Mission three is now available. http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?t=72482&page=2

Vilas do you have any plans to add some light artillery and mortars? I know that players can't make much use of them, but they are a great tool for mission makers.

Cheers

[vilas 478]

plans for near future:

- fixing bugs found

- missions

- more units for guerillas, civilians, Mi24 for 3 countries painting, AH64 or using in missions AH64 released by other mods, CH47

- Russian army bonus reskinned vehicle

there is no plans for mortars or static artillery cannons like BIS gave as (M119, D-30), BIS gave us enough here

far planes will be:

- Soviet BMD, Soviet 155 mm selfpropelled howitzer as counterpart for M109 howitzer, 2S1 will left for other countries

- Marder IFV for BW

[Alphadelta 10]

there is no plans for mortars or static artillery cannons like BIS gave as (M119, D-30), BIS gave us enough here

But we don't have mortars. 60 and 80MM motars would be awesome! :butbut:

Looking forward to the BMD.

Mission 4 of my Porto P85 campaign is available now! Happy spotting!!

Did you managed to get those 2 x 7.62 MGs working in that BMP3 with dedicated gunner positions?

[vilas 478]

no, in future, now they only "look"

why ? - because of lack of proper animations for crew inside, with current anims from game, it would be nonsense to make them work

[S!fkaIaC 10]

Marder IFV for BW

Are you aware that Marder is out of use?

http://www.planetopia.de/archiv/2009/planetopia/05_03/21.html

You see, if you want to simulate the actual state correctly, use the damage-crumbled model of OFP as normal one in ArmA 1 :)

[GI-JoE 0]

Are you aware that Marder is out of use?

Yes but in '85 ? :)

[S!fkaIaC 10]

Stupid me :o

Yep, by accident I dragged into ArmA context pretending that they deal with modern weapons.

[vilas 478]

there was Everon island released:

http://www.armedassault.info/index.php?cat=islands&id=27

and untill our missions are under test and development , Macko has converted 5 OFP missions to use on that island with P85 units

copyrights of course goes to BIS and Codemasters, as OFP creators

missions contain music from OFP for those missions to feel OFP atmosphere

it is our tribute to OFP - best game in the world for many many years

Macko missions:

http://www.armaholic.eu/vilas/85temp/cwc_missions.7z

we are also very gratefull for other people who created missions spontaneously :D

soon we will release many SP missions for P85

it was not released to competee with OAC or CWR, simply for many of us OFP was "something huge and important in life" (althought it is "only game" but we all spent countless hours with OFP for many years) and also thank for Everon addon release

and we wait for Kolguyev and Malden too

hope you enjoy Macko's missions :)

hosted by Armaholic: www.armaholic.com , thank you :)

I'm currently working on some coops for P85. Hopefully you guys can find them useful.

[flv*venom* 83]

vilas, you're a monster!

that hind looks just wow! that beeing said, is there any chance of a 'real' cobra?, you know the one that was realy used during the eighties, the one that is portrayed in ofp? (I don't know what kind of version of the cobra it is) I'm asking 'cause thats the only thing that P85 is realy missing at the moment(the retextured BIS one just doesn't fit in, especialy when you're standing next to one on the ground). Oh, and while I'm here, what happened to the MERDC units? Don't get me wrong, I'm just asking, you know.

[Binkowski 26]

I believe the Cobra in OFP was either the AH1-Q or AH1G Model, not sure. I'm leaning towards Q but it's hard to tell.

[Thunderbird 0]

AH1-Q or AH1G Model

The Cobra in OFP was a AH-1F

Regards,

TB

[Binkowski 26]

Thanks for clearing that up TB, I was completely wrong! :D

[flv*venom* 83]

yeah thanks for clearing it up, for some reason I had the "s" version on my mind, but I knew that it was the wrong variant. :)

[vektorboson 8]

yeah thanks for clearing it up, for some reason I had the "s" version on my mind, but I knew that it was the wrong variant. :)

The AH-1S and AH-1F are identical: The AH-1S was renamed to AH-1F in the late 80s. So in 1985 AH-1S is the correct designation.

EDIT: Somehow Wikipedia says something different...
