FFUR/SLX 2007

[Thunderbird 0]

<span style='color:blue'><span style='font-size:13pt;line-height:100%'>INTRODUCTION :</span></span>

The SLX MOD created by Solus has proven to be one of the largest, most featured, and most successful Mod's ever created for Operation Flashpoint.

Solus'SLX mod focused on regrouping, compiling and polishing high- quality community- made scripts with the spirit of making a very realistic challenge in terms of game- play and combat effects.

By popular demand, we have combined the modern units and effects in FFUR 2007, with the even more special effects and enhancements seen in the SLX mod (1.093).

We hope to provide a new feeling and deeper immersion to OFP' s Game- play.

With the permission and support of Solus, the combined mod features almost every change, improvement and enhancement, of the 2 mod' s.

All default Bohemia Interactive Studios units have been replaced with high- quality models set in the time period in and around 2007.

Although I'm seriously lacking time, I have been working hard on connecting and making compatible SLX/FFUR scripts, animations and values trying to include almost all of SLX features without breaking BIS default missions and story- lines, the Beta testers exerted a huge amount of effort in making this possible.

I just would like to let you know that, simultaneously running both mods by using the old classical way to run two mods would have never been properly playable because several of SLX/FFUR features were disabled.

In terms of gameplay stability, immersion feeling and realism, this is probably the most well-advanced FFUR pack carried out thus far, due to the experience gained from the previous releases, every day we have been editing OFP's engine has been interesting, rich and stimulating.

Concerning the multiplayer side of the MOD, unfortunately no tests have been done because of the lack of time, but logically, the MOD should work on dedicated servers, but with no guarantee from our side, though.

The successful merger of both mods would have never been possible without Solus' support. Please join me in thanking him for his efforts to make this mod possible.

We hope you will enjoy this new "FFUR 2007/SLX" Mod.

AI MASSIVE CHANGES AND ENHANCEMENTS:

[*]AI routines roughly follow Sun Tzu's "The Art of War." Calculations measuring strength: Morale (strength, skill of leaders, backup, etc), Weather(bad weather affects things, like aircraft and munitions), Terrain (higher altitude versus enemy = tactical advantage) and Skill (of leaders, units).

[*]Squads scan through all other squads to collect information about known friendly and enemy forces and they pass information about enemy squads to each other.

[*]Groups shout out relevant commands while performing most actions and maneuvers.

[*]The strength of a squad is based on the number of armed units, type of vehicles, skill of units, skill of leader, and strength of nearby squads.

[*]Infantry squads rush weaker enemies using bounding over- watch. Squads split up into teams and try to stay in a small group when they are rushing while the other teams are laying down. By rushing in a team it's more likely that one of them will get a shot off when they run into an enemy, where as if they were alone they could be picked off one by one.

[*]Squads take cover when over- matched.

[*]As an US squad leader or RTO, you can call for “AIR Supportâ€, heavy bombers (A10 or F16 CAS) drop M- 82 bombs on the position you set on the map.

[*]Squad radios for communications. Default radio is SINCGARS (Single Channel Ground and Air Radio System), each side can be set up to have their own type of radio but only the SINCGARS is included as default for all sides, some modern Russian man- pack radios may look similar to the SINCGARS though.

[*]Suppressive fire on squads. Rate of fire is determined from any known enemy, so two rifle squads could suppress if they are all firing. A unit can suppress by quickly firing a weapon at an enemy squad.

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

VISUAL EFFECTS:

[*]Working smoke concealment. Smoke can not be seen through by AI's but can be walked and shot through.

[*]Munition effects. Firing munitions creates effects such as smoke around the barrel, muzzle, and ejection port, a faint vapour trail along the munition's trajectory, tracers, munitions are affected by wind, hit effects with debris and dust, and ricochets. Smoke grenades create actual concealment, it takes a few seconds for the AI' s to lose track of you if you're already in their sights, and don't shoot while depending on concealment or the AI's will fire at you. If the AI' s are not targeting you then they will never see you if you stay behind the smoke. The smoke screen is affected by the wind, so if the wind changes the screen will move with it. Smoke is hazardous to breathe in for too long, and being in a confined space with smoke can be deadly. Firing a lot of tracers or explosives can set things on fire. Grass can be set on fire with machine gun tracers. Fire flows downwind, so you can plan for where it might go, but beware a change in wind direction sending the fire somewhere else. Uncontroled fires can cause widespread destruction. Launched grenades are not armed until they reach a safe distance of 14 to 27 meters, but unarmed grenades can still ricochet and hurt things that they hit. If you are using a weapon with good optics and the conditions are right you can see the "trace," or vapor trail, of the shot even if it's not a tracer round. You can use the trace to make corrections to your aim.

[*]Vehicle damage. When a vehicle is damaged an effect will happen relevant to the amount and position of the damage. Vehicle damage effects include munitions malfunctions, fuel leaks, fire, tire blowouts, broken glass, main rotor damage, tail rotor failure, and temporary engine failure. For example, if a helicopter gets hit in the tail rotor causing too much damage it will fail and start to go down. If a vehicle is hit in the engine, fuel tank, or body, it has a chance of starting a fuel leak. If a vehicle is leaking fuel it is vulnerable to catching on fire if it gets damaged again. The extent of the fire is based on the amount of damage the vehicle has, starting out as a small fire and eventually consuming the entire vehicle, then burning back down before extinguishing. The fire does damage to the vehicle and nearby things, ammunition cooks off while burning, and sometimes nearby things get set on fire. Fire can be put out by repairing the vehicle, submerging it in water, going over 400 kph, or if the fire is small enough you can try using the "put out fire" action (which has a somewhat random chance of working) until the fire goes out. People disembarking from a burning vehicle have a chance of catching fire proportional to the damage of the vehicle. They can put the fire out by getting healed or by keeping moving. People on fire will automatically crawl forward prone to keep moving, you can also try rolling on the ground to put the fire out if you are using a rolling mod such as DMA' s. Helicopters with main rotor damage become more unstable the more damaged they are, eventually tearing themselves apart and crashing if they are too damaged. When a helicopter with main rotor damage crashes it throws up lots of dirt and dust as the blades are smashed apart on the ground.

[*]AI' s do not eject from damaged helicopters while in the air to increase AI survivability.

[*]Realistic blood effect that appears every time you shoot at a human, even if the body is dead.

[*]The explosion effects follow the basic descriptions of an explosion written in "U.S. Army Field Manual 3- 50 Smoke Operations | Appendix G : Munition- Produced Dust"(http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/library/policy/army/fm/3- 50/Appg.htm), the dust/fire ball, the dust skirt, the rising column of smoke, and some small lingering smoke. They are also based on videos of explosions of laser guided bombs, explosive ordinance disposal, hand grenades, aerial rockets and missiles, and improvised explosive devices. The fireball is usually very brief being usually a bright flash then mostly dust, but sometimes has a lot of fire. The dust skirt comes quickly after the dust/fire ball, it lingers for a while after the explosion before disipating. For larger explosions it spreads out over a large area but for smaller explosions it is just a single cloud and looks fairly good for the low fast appearing smoke from hand grenades. The smoke column rises after the explosion and dust skirt and drifts away in the wind, it is usually light grey and sometimes darker. Then a thin low smoke lingers near the crater.

[*]The unguided rocket smoke is based on a videos of helicopters firing rockets, it starts off dark black and then thins out turning grey.

[*]The guided missile smoke is based on pictures and videos of TOW missiles firing, a thin grey smoke that can be seen through, especially since some missiles are gunner controlled

[*]The water hit effect is based on videos and pictures of bullets hitting water, a thin plume of water.

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

SLX DISABLED EFFECTS AND FEATURES:

[*]Disabled wound effects because they are not well optimized, when the AI drags and heals a wounded enemy, a few seconds later the AI kills him after healing him, which makes no sense at all.

[*]Disabled the surrendering feature in the aim to avoid breaking BIS missions.

[*]Disabled Melee features because they were not that necessary in-game, moreover only special troops do focuse on their use.

[*]Disabled APCs and Tanks deploying smoke walls feature in order to considerably increase the frame-rate level during huge firefights.

[*]Disabled the Main Commander's MG feature because when changing the ammunition type you are using, this feature tend to block the gunner's cannon during a couple of seconds, which might cause some annoying issues, plus the commander's MG uses the gunner's Muzzle Flashes.

[*]Disabled the Garrison script because OFP' s engine isn't that optimized for 'Inside- Building' combats, the AI tends to act in a weird way.

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

MODEL CHANGES:

[*]The models used in this conversion are high quality made Add-Ons by OFP' s community, including FFUR, these changes are intended to bring OFP to a new era, in terms of visual quality.

GENERAL IMPROVEMENTS:

[*]This MOD doesn't need to be used with the SLX Mod anymore because this new FFUR release implements several almost all of SLX features, however, some of them haven't been included to avoid getting some compatibility and stability issues, as it has been mentioned above.

[*]All Add-ons have been decompressed to further reduce lag and increase Frame-rates.

[*]Only the required P3D models and textures have been retained for this pack.

[*]2 Configs are available in the ffsx2007 folder : A multi-player config which does not include the “air support†feature to avoid an abusive use on-line, and a another single-player config, which does include a health bar that shows the soldier's status.

As you can see HERE.

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

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS:

To play the FFUR/SLX 2007 Pack flawlessly, we recommend the following:

- Windows XP

- 2,0 GHZ Pentium 4 or ATHLON XP

- 512 MB DDR RAM

- 1,5 GB Hard Disk Space (per pack)

- For those wishing to use the Extra Effects Pack and High Resolution Islands:Fifth Generation

Graphics Card (EG. GEFORCE 5 Series or RADEON 9 series).

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

INSTALLATION:

The installation is very easy, but if you still have difficulty then here is a guide: At first make sure you installed correctly the patch 1.96 from BIS then simply run the executable from the location you saved it and follow the instructions. When the installer starts, you will be told to select the location for the install. This should be correct without you changing anything, but in a small number of cases this is wrong. Depending on the version you bought of Operation Flashpoint : Cold War Crisis And that's about it! The files will begin to install and soon you will be playing FFUR/SLX Modern Crisis.

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

RECOMMENDATIONS:

[*]Make sure to run the MOD with a clean version of Operation Flashpoint Resistance.

[*]Some extra-addons wouldn't work that well with the MOD (Keg's editor...), this is due to the amount of changes brought to the MOD and we are not responsible about that.

[*]Please, read the instructions to avoid getting problems, we spent a lot of time in carrying them out, a few minutes spent reading' em would avoid making installation's mistakes.

[*]The MOD already provides a ".exe" file, you do not need to make a new one to play it.

[*]Make sure to close all programs running in the background to run the MOD flawlessly, and to make it much more appealing.

FFUR/SLX 2007 1.2 Extra Pack (Needed)[10 MB]

Mirror 1 - GOL Clan

More mirrors would be available soon.

Another Extra pack (version 2.0) is currently under developement by SamotH, it would feature a lot of changes, including high quality faces intended to replace BIS ones.

---------------- SUGGESTED EXTERNAL PACKS

to run with FFUR 2007/SLX

-Kegety's Dxdll: Enhances the graphics within the game through use of post-processing and by forcing trilinear filtering (because of this you'll need a GeForce 5 Series or above, or a Radeon 9 Series). [According to OFP2Files]

-Mr. Burns AEC Islands selection: An amazing islands selection carried out by Mr. Burn from OFPC in order to replace BIS islands by the best islands carried out thus far, this replaces standard BIS files, so be sure to back them up (ones within /worlds and /dta, mainly).

-InQuisitor Desert Island: A great desert island intended to replace BIS one, this desert island uses Resistance high quality textures.

[fasad 1]

Can we patch FFUR 2007 to this? It seems insane to download half a gig for some scripts and config changes!

[Thunderbird 0]

A few scripts changes? heh.

The entire scripting system has been changed, a lot of efforts have been put into implementing the SLX MOD into FFUR by carrying out the necessary changes to keep the MOD the most stable possible!

And there is much more than "a few scripts and config changes", it is kind of disrespectful to submit such comments, even before testing the MOD and apparently you did even not bother reading my entire post once before posting your comment.

Download it and give it a try to notice the amount of changes yourself.

Regards,

TB

[fasad 1]

I used the word "some", not "few", though I apologise if I offended... I am aware of the amount of work involved, but also aware of the small amount of disk space scripts and configs take up. As far as I can see the model list has one change from ffur2007, and that is a removal of additional civilians.

[chops 111]

Can we patch FFUR 2007 to this? It seems insane to download half a gig for some scripts and config changes!

Who's "we"? Didn't see your name in the Thanks list.

Thunderbird84, thank you so much for what I can only imagine must total hundreds of hours of work with all the FFUR packs. I've had almost as many hours of extra fun with various FFUR packs as what you've put in!

I take my hat off to you, kind sir

Quote[/b] ]As far as I can see the model list has one change from ffur2007

What kind of new models were you expecting? aren't those listed above not 'good' enough, nor realistic enough?

The implementation and replacement of 'models' does only represent 10% of the needed time to accomplish the MOD, to be honest, it is the easiest part, unlike the scripting, munition and weapon values editing, MOD's designing, Interface, sounds and animation modifications, which involve a lot of efforts to ensure the MOD's stability and enjoyability.

You are the welcome,

Btw, if some of you would like to customize their own 'ffsx2007' there are several editable configs, depending on what you would like to edit (Multiplayer config, SinglePlayer with Health-bar config or SinglepPlayer without Health-bar config).

The same goes to the animations, if you do prefer one of DMA Animations then go ahead and replace the current anim.pbo file in your 'ffsx2007\dta\' folder by your favorite one.

Regards,

TB

Coming from your side, they would be greatly appreciated as well!

Thank you.

[Big-Rooney 5]

Bravo Tbird. Nice Work D\L Now.

Everything sounds great. Can't wait to play it.

Off Topic: You guys got lucky on sunday, Ruined the party for us, but it was a great game.

Thanks for the release.

I am not suggesting the models are inadequate. My point is I (and others = "we") have a large percentage of the content (in bytes! of FFUR/SLX 2007 already on our hard drives. Ideally this data could be made use of.

Ease of update is an important design consideration and the effort involved in making updates a realistic option is trivial compared to the total project effort.

"We" should be thankful that TB took his time to make this possible. If not, we still would need to combine FFUR & SLX the old way.

[VictorTroska 0]

Come on TB...we don't need another mod,which is heavy 500 Mbs... and don't offering nothing new...

I'm just joking...this is a great mod,probably the best 1 in history of ffur mods...involving so much of your precious time for scripts and to polish this great mod,with help of many talented men like Solus,addon makers,testers and other creative people...

Im always so happy to see a new release of ffur mod on this page...so thank you and your team (Solus you are the man)...

Downloading now... can't wait (thou download is rather slow)

I fully understand your point of view and I know that people with low-speed connections would have to wait a lot to get the pack, but this is probably the lowest FFUR pack ever carried out, in terms of size, plus it would not be easy to carry out a "simple" patch that would have overwritten stuff and would have incorporated SLX to FFUR because a lot of internal necessary modifications and changes!

And the main aim of having done that was to make the FFUR/SLX 2007 a standalone MOD that allows people to access to both of, FFUR 2007 'vanilla' and FFUR 2007 with SLX.

And as stated above, take the time to test the MOD and you would really notice the difference between the current and the previous packs.

Here is a mirror for the Extra Pack (Special thanks to ofpdeadeye [OFP.info])

The second variant of the Extra Pack (using high-quality hollywood faces) is on the way as well.

Negative, this hasn't been done because of various reasons that I will try to clearly justify here:

- First, the lack of interest of the 'former-OFP' 's community (because of ArmA) is not that encouraging to involve more time and more efforts in carrying that out.

- Requesting permissions, asking for MLOD 3Ds and waiting for the Addons authors replies to edit their models would have delayed this release, of at least 2, if not 3 or 4 months.

- This feature is not necessary and it does slightly affect the gameplay.

As mentioned in the previous page, the mirrors are on the way and they would be listed as soon as the uploads are finished.

Thank you all for the kind words, your support in helping us to host the pack would be really appreciated!
