mcnools 62 Posted June 15, 2007 Jungles could probably be made, if someone make some nice canopy-trees so the whole thing is basicly covered with a "leaf-roof", and then add some large bushes and trees etc, it could turn out quite nice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

canis lupus 20 Posted June 15, 2007 this is great news, VTE is the only reason I still play ofp... about the island, for the sake of all those who have performence problems, the island shouldn't be filled with jungle, so it must have some large areas with open fields or cities...

Yeah, actually, the entire country of vietnam isn't jungle so.. some large rice-paddy areas etc. would be nice having a large island with fields and some larger towns on one side, and highlands, small villages and jungles in the other would be pretty neat.

ThePredator 0 Posted June 15, 2007 Rice paddies and dikes, hills and dense jungle, rivers may be an issue, since the water should be dirty The whole "island" should look like a real world, dense jungle with rice paddies in the valleys, rivers, hills, LZ's, bases and such shouldn't look off.

Kerry 0 Posted June 16, 2007 OHH MANN!!!!!! I love you guys!!! Ive been waiting for somthing Vietnamish for a shilw now!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kerry 0 Posted June 16, 2007 sorry for the dobule post, but dont forget to add "Super Napalm"!!!! The Napalm is esential for the VIetnam feeling! =) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
granQ 293 Posted June 16, 2007 yeah naplam is a must, but doubt we get it for first release. Will update the first post soon with more detailed info about exactly what weapons/vehicles will be included in first, second release. but now something completly diffrent.. VTE MAIN THEME CONTEST!! VTE ofcourse needs its own soundtrack and esp a "theme song" that can be used when you start the mod, in trailers, on the homepage and more. The jury will be me, Snake_man and Vilas. I can only speak for myself but music that reminds me of "jefferson airplane - white rabbit" will get my vote.. Anyway, you are free to create whatever.. but if it sounds like from the 60's or "nam music" its a bonus. Mail your songs with your name to: daniel@granq.se Hopefully we will pick a winner in August, but depends if we get any music or not. Also posted this in first post. we NEED YOUR song!

TheReddog 0 Posted June 16, 2007 There must be an air assault on vin drin lop or dop or whatever the hell that place is called mission But sir, that's charlies point!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ThePredator 0 Posted June 16, 2007 Well, Jefferson Airplane was played on BF Vietnam too much. If you know the best vietnam game ever "Vietcong" you might remember the guitar music. That was perfect. Maybe someone can play the guitar like that...Would be great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SHWiiNG 0 Posted June 16, 2007 one thing i must know, how will you be implemeting the tactics used at the time, Lets go back to our old friend We were soldiers, The North Vietnamese army used Rush and overwhelm tactics in many combat scanarios, using their overwhelming numbers to great effect, what i mean is im expecting to see lots of soldiers running at you fireing from the hip generally trying to route and overwhelm you before you have time to breathe, and also their great use of night movment and camouflage, how are you going to simulate this?

Dan ick(uk) 0 Posted June 16, 2007 there was alot of great songs in the OFP VTE release imo,as long as all of them are in the mod i'll be very happy indeed Its all looking an sounding good,keep up the excellent work All the best Dan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BraTTy 0 Posted June 16, 2007 Best Vietnam game ever ! Gunboat. Lol comparing to todays standards its weak,but for the day was the best. Don't forget gunboat missions please I am very interested in this mod.Love your progress already. I may make some stuff , thinking about claymores and the gadjets Unfortunately I am very busy in real-life and won't be doing much till winter.Don't even have O2 installed and such Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kerry 0 Posted June 16, 2007 Oh good Lord!!!! Theres so many things that we're leaving out! Dont forget the bouncing betties either. Or asny of the boobie Traps! Boobie traps(with spikes) shouldnt be to hard to simulate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
granQ 293 Posted June 16, 2007 Progress and progress, thank you footmunch. Now we got two planes ready for the first release. This will be the weapons for the first release, if you miss something here, mines, rifles whatever.. don't get all upset and run to your mommy. Instead keep posting replies with what you want, we add that on the list for future releases but if we try to make EVERYTHING for the first release, it will become one of those mods that never gets released. Minor stuff might change, maybe add one pistol or some handgrenades but this is what I decided we should use. M1911, UZI,sten, AR15, XM177E, M16A1, M14, M21, M79, Stoner_AR, Stoner_MG, M60,LAW AK47, SKS, TYPE68, Mosin38, Mosin, SVT40,PPSz, PPS43, DP27, RPD, RPG2, RPG7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kerry 0 Posted June 19, 2007 Now, i dont want to sound like an idiot, which im probably going to, but. I heard that in Vietnam the VC used the AKM Â and AKMS.(just a sugestion) and DONT forget the bouncing betties!. MOMMY! ;-( Just wondering, are there any reskins/ play models for the Vietnamese/ US??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[xdf]kanga 0 Posted June 19, 2007 quite sure the VC/NVA used the Chinese Type 56 AK which had the folding bayonet. Although im sure there would have been other AK variations in circulation Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kutya 0 Posted June 19, 2007 The best news in a long time in this forum... About music, I suppose it has to be 'homemade' uncopyrighted stuff, yes? The song should be also original or the recording only? If you don't have any music, PM me, but don't expect too much. Oh, and what's the deadline, since I'm busy with RL currently (getting married next weekend). If you expect full blown produced 70's style music, I can't help. Only some slow meditative blues like 70's solo (acoustic or electric). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zeinger 0 Posted June 20, 2007 The Vietcong theme is called "Pseudo Hendrix" and was composed by Petr Mores. If you want the original one, just ask and I will upload it. Or if you want something a bit different I can try to play it in a more modern way with overdriving and stuff..if you are intersted just PM me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
