News crew/reporters?

[leondus 0]

I've noted that someone made a news helo addon but can't find any addons for reporters.

Does anyone know of any addons for them?

Thanks

There are no reporter addons

[Guest]

Mailman made a retex addon for news reporters. This was done before the tools were released so he could only do a retex.

anzac, if you find them please send it my way.

El nino Foxhound, thinks for the link. But I just own OFP & Res.

If ARMA stuff could be ported to OFP, then ANN reporter would do the trick.

everyone else, Thanks

There was a filming pack released sometime ago. FDF mod used it in one of their missions. I can't find it on OFP.info anyomre but this is the file:

VIT also made a news copter a long time ago. I can host it if anyone wants it.

I missed the earlier part of the thread where you wanted a news helo. I found this old news helo by VIT in my archive:

Great detail but I noted a error with the hands of all three men and this pops up on startup, ""No entry config.bin/CfgWeapons.GMI_camera_tool3"

But I'm happy and it works 

[icebreakr 3136]

There are no reporter addons  

I use "FieldReporter" that is already in ArmA (QG only maybe???).

I guess it requires Gummi's camrea tool...here:

ftp://ftp.ofpr.info/ofpd/unofaddons2/gmi_camera_tool.zip

[leondus 0]

i downloaded gmi_camera_tool.zip but still get the error.

right now I'm trying to get the camrea to work in a Intro/cutscene.

I can make the cameraman look through his binoculars, StandToBinocStand but no camrea.

Was there a command to look down the weapons sight? or trick the scripting to use a camera view and not binoculars.

Ya'll know that I'm talking about, right?

@leondus

I've used GMI camera tool before, it's mainly intended for taking screen shots and shooting videos. Those Brazillian guys have done some of thier own work, but many things they have just retextured existing addons. I'm not saying it's bad, their work looks really good. The reporters is using the old "ETN CIA teaser" addon. It looks like they took Gummi's camera addon and reworked it (BR_Camera). They used Gummi's original models it looks like.

class BR_camera

};

They may have orphaned a link in the original addon.

Hmmm...I wonder if they got permission from the original addon makers to rework all that they have done?

[leondus 0]

Hmm.. well that's all greek to me, but i hope they did get permission because I intended to use them and need to post the links and info.

I noted a error when exiting the game that went something like "Awacams" missing, but just got the error once.

How do you use GMI camera tool for shooting videos?

I just made a short vid playing the cameraman uisng fraps software

but would like to make a video like cutscene.

[zulu1 145]

Video was pretty nice. I guess they added the CNN banner/logo to the camera optics. Pretty nice. The other camera the "Globo" one has some kind of fog on the lens. May to simulate a real field look?..I don't like it.

Quote[/b] ]How do you use GMI camera tool for shooting videos?

Exactly what you did. Use the camera to "frame" your shot, then use a capture tool like Fraps. Using the camera man, hit the "V" key to look through aimming optics. Also the keypad [+] & [-] keys to zoom in and out.

Quote[/b] ]I noted a error when exiting the game that went something like "Awacams" missing, but just got the error once.

Maybe it was AWMCam?...That would be the AirWolf cam addon.

Quote[/b] ]but would like to make a video like cutscene.

That could be done, you would need to script it just like cutscenes in missions. These addons would not be needed for that.

With the filming pack you should be able to use the helo to fly around and shoot videos. This will require a little scripting in the "int" field for units and waypoints. Put an empty camera helo on the map and 2 crew men. Set your player with a high rank so you are in command. Get in as gunner and order the other in as pilot. Or you can set it as flying and use "movingunner" and "moveinpilot" scripting comands. Being in command you should be able to order the piolt to fly to specific locations. Or set waypoints on the map where you want to film. You could then use differnt "flyinheight" scripting commands in the "int" field of the waypoints. This would allow you to shoot from different elevations.

Here's a capture I did of a media circus in VelkaVez on Nogova using GMI Cam Tool.

This represents AWM Cam, FilmingPack, BR_Reports and the Vit Helo. The Filming Pack is especialy nice with all the different aspect ratios it has. I'd be willing to bet you could equip the Vit helo with the camera (weapon) that they put on the AH64.

You know, I have a mission laying around here that uses cut scenes of a studio reporter and a field reporter going back a forth. The banter is rather funny. If I can find it I'll post a link.

here is a new vid using the CNN reporter

[VBCI 1]

In OFP, how to remplace the old TV screen in the editor by a CNN Flash screen ?

Someone have a addon for that ?

It's possible to change the Watch, so it's possible to change the TV set.

[leondus 0]

I'm not sure on how to change the TV screen in the editor but would love to know how myself.

Anyone know??
