New Sci-Fi Mod

About the mech design-the AT-43 board game has some pretty cool designs and I think you could get some inspiration from it :P

IMO I would like to see those more "real looking" than that anime-like walkers.

[Zedrein 10]

those are kewl mechs but i myself like biped mechs along the line of the wanzers and gundam. but i dont care much for the sleekness of gundam designs. while im here i got a problem with OFP:goty when i go into the video options and try to set the detail of the terrain to the highest setting the game kinda locks up on me. is their any way i could just edit a config file or something so i can have the maxed out settings without getting the lock up?

[BronzeEagle 2]

i think not bruh, this game runs on supercomputers. you'll never achieve maxed out settings.

No-one I know of sets the terrain above high.In simple terms

the increase in complexity makes the terrain very "lumpy".

But that's not nescessarily as good as it sounds.

Personally I find it a bit annoying trying to move through the

terrain on anything above normal.Especially in a vehicle.

There's a lot of bouncing around.

Terrain on very high is just for show or screenshot, the problem with this kind of setting is the massive hit on your system, those lost ressources would be better used for missions, AI, effect, view distance etc...

Normal is usually the max recommended and it is the MP standard if i remember well.

Lowering the terrain setting usually gives a big boost in performance.

the increase in complexity makes the terrain very "lumpy".

But that's not nescessarily as good as it sounds.

Well, maybe on a more "bumpy" terrain, people would not get that easily killed by tanks when assaulting from a beach ;)

Good point.Although a crap connection doesn't help.

:D

[Zedrein 10]

but the system i run this on is well capable of doing this game on max and beyond. "runs Crysis and more on the highest settings" its all good im stuck on low end ground terrain.

[BronzeEagle 2]

you'll appreciate the low setting more when you try to put some units down. theres alot more that goes into this game then crysis besides graphically. we're talking facial animations, ai for every unit, etc.

okay guys, i've found what's wrong with tracer scripts...all this thnx to Aeo for saying

it has no impact on performance untill you fire about 2 clips of ammo

..i just realize that the file, tracer.sqs and tracerMG.sqs have no exit command in the scripts, which mean, the cpu will compute every single shot for eternity lol... due to some reasons, i will not upload the updated (sorry, but trust me that i want to give it you guys if i can)...

THE FIX, at the bottom line of the file (Tracer.sqs and TracerMg.sqs), add this:

?_time <1 : goto "loop"

exit

and be sure to remove the old "goto loop" part at the bottom,

i'm sorry im not good in explaining but if there're someone who understand this, plz help me to explain better..:( and i dunno if Aeo already done a better job on the scripts, but this is for someone who wants to play the MOD with effects for this time being.;)

gunny24 thnx mate for your support, i really appcreciate it;)

btw razor X, i was wondering where did u go..lol..u'r still here it seems

And, Aeo thnx again to for your feedbacks, they helps me a lot, but regarding the jump scripts, i still got no answer to the problem you're having (and everyone else too guess) when i edit the scripts, it just get worst..lol, shame on me..

and lastly, bigfoot, the mechs are cool, i like the last model..maybe i can make it as heavy mech or something like planetry defense gun..(of course with a bit of modernized design);),

[BronzeEagle 2]

i have a surprise guys. Not only did we fix the tracer script awhile back, we also been working on adding the warthog for the terrans:

3148 Apocalypse v0.97 Beta

custom gatling gun animation, custom gunner animation, custom sounds.....

[gunny24 46]

you guys are awesome. do we get the pelican and the Sparrowhawk vtol, also?

[BronzeEagle 2]

we have the models for them actually, but getting them in game is all up to our modelers and how they feel. it was a difficult two or three days getting the warthog into the game but im proud of them for sticking it through. they know who they are. Immediately next up is the pelican dropship which we have a model for but no config. Soon as the Pelican is in game and we have troop transport i can start editing the missions for the campaign.

Strange looking car. Strange but it might work in this mod.

[BronzeEagle 2]

you should download it!

[33BO11OF00 10]

Why not ;)

[Zedrein 10]

kewl nice work ^^

[33BO11OF00 10]

Help! I put this apocalypse mod in MOD folder. I made a shortcut for it and it doesn't work. What's the problem here?

[rellikki 7]

What's the path do your mod folder? And how does your OFP shortcut's target line look like?

[33BO11OF00 10]

My path is: E:\OperationFlashpoint\@Apoca

My shortcut path is : E:\OperationFlashpoint\FlashpointPreferences.exe -mod=@Apoca

[rellikki 7]

You need to have the game exe file in the shortcut, not the preferences application. So change the shortcut to:

E:\OperationFlashpoint\FLASHPOINTRESISTANCE.exe -nomap -mod=@Apoca

That should work.

[33BO11OF00 10]

Sorry Rellikki. Your advice didn't work :j: . What's next? ;)

[BronzeEagle 2]

zedrein maybe if you learn texturing you can do the desert terran marines pack.

[33BO11OF00 10]

:) :) BronzeEagle. Check my posts #169 and #171. I have problems. Maybe YOU can help.'

Arg! I just realized. The files are in @Apoca folder. Should they be in @Apoca\Addons folder like in other custom mods? The setup readme in the zip don't tell ANYTHING about the custom mod folders. Fix that. Please.
