FFUR-SLX 2007 2.0

[Thunderbird 0]

Russian army radio is intended for 2 purposes:

[*]AI calling reinforcement to regroup for further attacks.

[*]Artillery support if the fireteam leader carries it.

Whereas Resistance forces radio is only intended for calling reinforcement.

Btw, your feedback is needed in order to make sure that the islands pack fixes the 'white vegetation' issue as stated above.

Thank you.

regards,

TB

Yes, thanks TB. The white veg issue was solved, was being the word. I had some problems though, after installing Burn's Islands.

I could no longer ad an Apache to any editor missions, nor any other vehicles, due to an error prompt saying something to the effect of,cannot create origins/night.So I reverted back to the original islands,with the white veg. oh well.

The AKS-74U looks weird compared to the other AK´s. It looks somewhat like plastic. Anyone knows of an addon to swap it?

By the way, I just buried one of my soldiers today. One of my soldiers was killed in an ambush and when I approached his corpse to retrieve his weapon, the option to bury him appeared. I clicked on that and after a while he was covered with dirt. This is amazing! A very nice touch and it adds tons of realism to the game. The option of dragging wounded and the dead is also a big plus. Well done, mate...

Quote[/b] ]Please check out the system requirements for the new pack.

It requests more than the previous packs because this time it uses all of SLX scripts.

A light config disabling several features would be included with the incoming patch, though.

if that is so all i would need to do is find the new slx graphics features youve added in the scripts/config file and disable them?

Might I also suggest changing the NV goggles texture for a future fix, making it more clear and round (like in ECP) like modern day NVGs?

It is the best mod ever new birth of OP, but I have found one major bug, my school is starting next weekend, can you fix that so I can fully enjoy in this masterpiece?

Just kidding, thank you very much for this!

P.S. What is condition for drag command to appear, because I want to create mission where you have to drag your teammate across battlefield, thought setdammage will do it, but it didn't? Sorry for my english, I hope you understand what I want.

found another things:

- standing & aiming with secondary weapon (AT/AA) and go to kneel/low position switches to primary weapon back

- all sniper should have NV too

- helicopters may have some CM (Flares,Chaff)

(could you make column of smoke a little bit lower?)

Weird,

Editor's units aren't related to the islands, they are completely separate files, I don't see why shouldn't the apache work properly on the new islands, reinstall everything and make sure you do it correctly.

I do use FFUR with the Mr Burns islands selection since a while and have never experienced any issue with'em.

You can disable them in SLX_GL3_Settings, read the instructions to avoid getting issues later.

No need of 'conditions', just put 2 squads in the editor, wait until one of your teammates gets hit, get close to him and the command 'drag...' would appear on the menu, just simple like that.

The NVG texture would be replaced, indeed.

1. SLX feature, apparently it was wanted.

2. This is not indispensably required, but why not.

3. This has been added and taken out more than once from the previous packs due to peformance.

4. I'm actually happy with the smoke effect, I don't see why it should be changed.

regards,

TB

I myself thought that was strange also. I will try Burn's islands again, in a bit. Let you know the outcome, and take a screeny of the error if it comes up again.

TBird, He means at the start of the mission, he wants the unit to be draggable. But as I've experianced, they arn't if just placed and setdamaged ect.

Great work TB, Ofp isn't that dead...i'm having lot of fun with this mod ! (Even if i don't like "modern" mods that much).

Some vegetation's texture bug (screenshot from Malden), i did apply the hotfix and chose resistance vegetations and houses :

EDIT : sorry, i didn't realize this prob was already reported, i'm just old and blind ***:banghead:

Me too, I have the same problem.

A solution please.

Thank you thunderbird, wonderfull work

i'm having the same problem. great work btw tb. the AI seems to retreat way to often.....leaving me alone to fight everyone. the guns are really quiet too. enemy spots me from a mile away pretty easily.

[dallasfan315 0]

since i'm here i'll give a list of things i see going crazy so far.....when i need a medic, random soldiers come and drag me to random spots. it's funny but doesn't help much. i can't put fires out but instead just crouch close to them for a long time. need animations to show putting out the fire and burying the dead. AI doesn't stay and fight for very long. the AI can see and shoot extremely far. when i shoot and kill....blood doesn't show and the soldiers sometimes jump pretty far. medic should run around and heal it seems. i love this mod and i'm not trying to nitpick. keep up the good work.

[dallasfan315 0]

one more thing.....i like the dragging but where do i drag soldiers?? should make the medics hang back and be able to erect medic tents. that would be cool. drag wounded to tent and they get healed. just a thought.

[dallasfan315 0]

Hi,

This is what TB told me to do for white textures and it worked fine

Reinstall the 'data.pbo' / 'dta3d.pbo' / HWTL folder by first deleting those already existing in @ffsx2007/dta and reinstall'em by simply running the Launcher but during the installation of the wanted files, don't install 'vegetation replacement'.

THIS FIXES THE WHITE SQUARES!!! thx

[dallasfan315 0]

I guess I'll keep posting. I'm playing the mod at the moment. If you play Bomberman you'll notice how extremely reluctant the AI is to go to the waypoint. Example: Radio charlie to engage the convoy and then go watch what the squad does. The AI need a major overhaul. These guys don't fight to the death like warriors. They run in circles and dive a lot. Hopefully they can be trained to do there mission. Bravo squad does the same thing. They run in and once the bullets fly........they retreat like brave sir robin. Needs major work. I'm gonna go play some more.

[dallasfan315 0]

I just watched a machine gunner engage a regular soldier. The machine gunner unloaded on the soldier from about 15 yards and didn't hit a thing. The target acted as if he was deaf and blind. lol

[dallasfan315 0]

Ok, when you go into drag mode.......an engine sound plays. While dragging your able to ski down mountains....it's fun if you like skiing but it's dumb to see yourself flying down a mountain dragging your dying buddy. Try it....it's fun. Also the option to turn engine off, eject, and get out are also available when you drag someone.

[dallasfan315 0]

Sometimes you can't drag the body anymore......just drop it and retry...instant energy return. Need sounds of effort and strain when dragging. Maybe have the dying guy talk some or make sounds.

yes that is correct i want to start mission with already wounded friend that you have to save draging him across battlefield to safe place. If that is possible, and so far I found out that everything is possible in OF engine.

Mission is very similar to "After Montignac" from Cold war campaign, but now you are supposed to have wounded soldier that you have to save.

Thanks anyway!

He tries to break the World Record...

And to people that quotes me, please stop quoting the picture with it...

Placebo is back, but the Ofp forum is now self moderated !

[Kirby 2]

I meant to add a friendly warning to him about scarey mods but I ran out of typing time and had to go. hah. So it looks a lil less helpfull than I intended. I was gunna post a link to the rules and say the mods get angrey when these are broken, edit a few and be carful..

I try to stick up for fellow forum goers and be helpful but I have a fear that the mods will say im trying to self-moderate the forums and act the moderator ect. But all Im doing is reminding them

ANYWAY back on topic...

This is pure amazingness Tbird...

SamotH making a new extra pack version to go with this? Ehehe...

I have been playing this all week. Very nice work. I can't beleive how nice I've gotten my OPF to look and play. Being able to drag bodies is a great feature.

Very nice work.

[otrebla_snake_ita 2]

I've a big problem. Yesterday I format C:\ and today, when I installed and patched OPF, I had a problem. I resolved copying some files from cd to HD. Now, I've a problem: i installed FFSX 2.0 version and I installed extra pack...The problem is this: when I launch the mod, there's a error screen and the game exit, here is the error:

Resource.cpp/RscDisplayFilter/Notebook.ValueMission: Undefinited base class 'RscObjNotebookEs'

why I have this problem? Thank you.

i went into the slx settings what mostly is compiled in there is the shooting graphics and ai what i found out when i disabled all of it was what was really making the game lag was the after explosion smoke fire and the huge amounts of dust that come off vehicles is there any way to disable these effects?
