Which mods for a noob?

Recommended Posts

Hello,

I have OFP GOTY. I was wondering which mods would be the best witht the least amount of tinkering to get me started.

So far I have patched to 1.96, added ECP +FFURSLX20071.0 + the patch for that.

Am I on the right track? Do I need to have ECP installed first?

Is there a guide to installing mods?

Thanks for the help, I am a little lost with all these improvements.

You can install them in any order, a sub folder should be created in your OperationFlashpoint Folder called @ECP or @FFUR or somthing along those lines. To run them you need to create a shortcut to Flashpoint and put -mod=ModFolderName but most big mods do this for you. I wouldn't recommend trying to run them together as it can cause problems.

Sorry, but just to clarify, I should not install ECP and FFUR together on the same install. Could I/Should I install FFUR w/o ECP?

Thanks

You can install both of them, just because you have one mod it does not have any effect when you run the other.

Ok, I see. If I install ECP, I run it through that exe/icon. I can also choose to run FFUR 2007, but I have to open the game with that exe. I would be running FFUR 2007 without ECP.

I have the feeling though that when I am running ECP I am still getting a lot of the features of ffur 2007, without the splash screens etc. Does this make sense?

yep each mod is completely seperate, if you run the regular Flashpoint exe that opens of Flashpoint with no mods. That does make sense as ECP is a special effects mod and has many effects which may be somewhat similar to what you see in FFUR

Thanks,

So far I have ECP and FFUR/SLX 2007. Both run quite smoothly.

Any other good mods you would recommend? Anything else to improve terrain or building textures?

Thanks again.
