flashpoint 1985 Yeah, flashpoint has one of the worst flight models ever...lol. Not to mention unless you have a decent comp you can't see anything. Well, the point of ecp is to enhance current/default campaigns with new units etc.

Yeah, I think it is a LOD bug that I appeared occassionally. It only happened to me when I was some distance away and it only occured on some units...

After playing with these guys for about a day or two, its time for some recommendations -groups-I would like to see some more groups in the 'groups" option-like a desert group, and a civilian-only group were missing. -the ERDL camo seems a bit washed out/miscolored. For some good textures, go to this site. It has camo patterns from pretty much every country around the world. -arms on some of the sleeveless guys can be reshaped-they seem awkward at times. -the hands should use the same texture as the arms. The crappy dirty BIS hands don't match up with the arms :P Actually, I think it would be better to set it so some have black or brown gloves on while others have bare hands. It would be yet another use for that great randomization of yours . -I would like to see some new units added, like a guy with satchel charges or a grenadier. -One of the randomized green body armors seems a bit weird, like its a bit fat. The way it sits on the body doens't look right. http://www.onpoi.net/ah....245.jpg By the way, I ain't that great of an addonmaker but if you need any help I'll see what I can do. I am very enthusiastic about these guys We have needed them for so long. [Please watch pic sizes - 100kb maximum - Fubar] EDIT: sorry bout filesize

lol, the only navy seals that seem to exist period are the ones by SJB :P

Thats whats done with the seb nampack, and it works quite well . Just to kinda show insight on how it works, I took a facemask unit and er...here are the results... As you can see, a texture from the face (after inspecting some other units, i belive it is the neck texture) has been taken and wrapped around the arms. You can clearly see the "holes" from facemask mesh on the guys arms and hands.

Cool These nbc guys look cool. I can see them easily taking the place of the forces sent to cover a secret up in a similar fashion of the special forces in half life .

Great mission for some quick action without having to read a complex mission plan It is simple fun

Unedited except for resize generic opfor pack beta winter malden

The reason they look good on the seb nampack is because they use a skinsample from the face to texture the arms. This could be done with these guys. Basically, a small texture area from the cheek, for example, is wrapped around the arms and thus matches the skin tone.

On topic: bowerbaker, the new generic opfor addon has been released. I noticed there are green army-looking guys and tan army-looking guys. You could make two countries, tans and greens, and make them fight over one of the hundreds of islands out there

WOW! these guys are PERFECT. I played around with them a bit, and they are awesome... the OD guys make for an awesome "generic army." Then you have the civils which make awesome terrorists... and add to that you also have desert opfor. Excellent work!

YESSS!!! *puts russians back in toy box* *takes new opfor out*

no, but it leads me to believe that it is possible with PC's "horse with rider" addon.

80% of the time I recommened wwiiol to a gaming forum, it is instantly dismissed because of lackluster graphics. It is too bad they are missing out on a great game. Anyway, wwiiol is an amazing game. It takes place roughly from 1939-1941 (before US enters the war) with the fight in northern europe on 1/2 scale between the germans, french, and british. It is an mmo so it requires a monthly fee but it is worth it. The game has thousands of players online at one time all fighting the war. Check out this trailer. However, some notes on the trailer-it is from version 1.9-it was made about a year ago. The game's graphics have since been slightly updated with new buildings, foliage, and ground textures. But anyway, onto the game- What makes wwiiol so great? Well, it has the largest terrain in any game. Ever. And it is an entirely dynamic war. Bomb a factory, the frontline towns will be missing some tanks. As seen on the front page of wwiionline.com, the game has a dynamic frontline system. Yes, the war has everchanging fronts that can determine your supplies and the amount of territory you hold. You must capture towns and hold the lines if you want to win. The game is like a game of chess with a few rules regarding this. Be weary that the game does have a steep learning curve-in the beginning, don't dismiss the game. Once you understand it, it opens up. The game also has an entire high command system-the game is run entirely by players. There are player generals, which command armies. Army commanders command divisions. Division commmanders command squads. Squads are usually assigned an objective. WWIIOL has varied aspects of play. Infantry combat in some ways is more realistic than ofp. It doesn't have nearly the depth ofp has, but some simple things make it more realistic. For example, wwiiol has NO crosshairs. You always fire from ironsights. Fortunately, the ironsights are 3d and much simpler to use than in ofp. Similar to ofp, the more tired you are, the more weapon sway there is. As infantry, you don't stand a chance alone, so it is usually better to side with a squad. IN wwiiol, you really have to use your head. Unlike ofp, it is much harder to get kills due to the fact your opponent is a human. Unless you get lucky, it is 1 shot and you are wasted. Infantry are the only unit that can capture territory, but of course they can hitch rides on tanks and trucks. Tanks-this part, in my opinion, is much better than ofp. Though you cannot get out of the tank, the damage model has much more fidelity. Turrets blow off. Tanks get tracked. (Their tracks get destroyed rendering them immobile.) Truck's wheels get blown off. Engine die. Tank damage models are based on armor piercing rather than a health meter unlike ofp.If you hit the fuel storage area, the tanks fuel will drain. There are certain weak points on tanks, and if you have good enough aim you can nail these. I may also note that it is much more realistic aiming in wwiiol. There is a lot more trajectory and bullet drop. It takes skill to correctly calculate where you shell is going to land. Also, when you drive there are gear shifts. Crew works a bit differently ,however. You press buttons 1-5 to switch between different positions. As an option though, you can have two players in one tank (ofp style.) However, if you are the only player in a tank you cannot control two positions at once. Air-this is superior to ofp also. Though the flight model is nowhere near, say il2, it is still much better than ofp. The damage model is up there too. Wings get blown off, propellors get bent and torn if they strike and object, and like tanks they have weak points. Hit the fuel, white smoke will erupt from the aircraft. I have had times where my 110 limps home on 1 engine because the other one was simply complete torn off the aircraft by an enemy spitfire. Naval game-no where near say something in the silent hunter series, but still yet again superior to ofp imo. It is pretty much like tanks on water, in that you can switch between positions. However, infantry can catch rides on some freighters or destroyers, and this makes for some fun times (playing hide and seek insdie and outside a freighter while we arrive to our objective...lol.) Tanks can get loaded onto freighters, but for the most part the naval game is used for transportation of infantry. The game world uses speedtree I might add. It has pretty trees and foliage. Some notes on wwiiol-yes, the visuals can seem a bit dated. But the game is tons of fun once you understand it. Also, new content comes out every month. Last month all the sounds got revamped, and this month...according to the developers, we are getting a "secret christmas present." Also, a north africa expansion is scheduled to release sometime next year with italians and americans added: Here is a movie showing off the scale of the new wwiiol north africa terrain. Also, here you can get started on the 2-week free trial.

nope..but bailouts are going to be added the next patch or the one after. They originally didn't add this for gameplay reasons. They don't want pilots bailing out and suddenly becoming infantrymen. They didn't want opels being used for something other than to transport otehr players. After a lot of discussion, they are going to add bailouts and such but they are going to put some limits on it (like you can't capture towns as a bailed out pilot, etc.) However, if you are on fire and you are going to die in terms you can somewhat "bail out" and despawn, and grab a new tank. So if you are going to die you can quit the mission. Trust me though when I say you don't think much about it in a tank or vehicle, mostly because you are usually in situations where you don't need to or couldn't bailout if you wanted to. It is not really needed as the game stands except on aircraft, because when you are in a tank, bailing out would be useless for several reasons.

Which version did you play? Thats what I heard the game sounded like when it first began. Last night I was in a siege with 50+ friendly axis players attacking the town and god knows how many on the other side. But like I said, at first the game seems boring and stuff but once you understand it you start finding action 24/7. Its a matter of knowing where to look. And now theres a lot more than 15 towns..i think theres like over 100 or something...I think you played one of the earlier versions when the game sucked. Try it again

Hey guys, did you enter "wwiimag" for your promotional key?

That is a good question. I have not been playing since day 1 like some players of wwiiol have, but from what I understand wwiiol was fairly anticipated game like 4 or so years ago, but then it turned out to utterly suck and was soon forgotten. From what I hear now, the game has gotten much better than it used to be. I can tell you now that it is fun, but I can only compared the differences between now and about a year ago which are still pretty large. the game has also a lot of exciting changes coming up in the future.

None I am doing this on my own time. The game has come a long way since the old versions, at it is often joked about. Trial-I have no idea what is wrong...maybe they change it or something..I don't know. I think you may need to buy the cd key However, you can-and I reommend you do this-download the game. It comes with a "practice offline" option that doesn't require any trial or anything.You can at least get a feel for the vehicles and the game world. download the gamehere.

Actually, the cockpit current is really cool. Its the first time I've ever seen that cool red/green body part damage indicator. this is a superb addon and opponent to the wanzers. Its fun to have mech wards My only 3 gripes are: 1. Not under west 2. Running animation looks a little weird (doesn't look very natural, just kinda the legs swinging back and forth. 3. No supercool gauss machine gun. (I.E. in the wanzers )

some more: -join in progress. I do not play multiplayer just because we don't have this. So annoying. -lack of 3d ironsights. this isn't that big of a deal, but it does sometimes get annoying how there isn't evena transition between ironsights..and the fact is, ironsights sometimes seem a little useless.

where is the tutorial from anim center? Just says "coming soon" on their website.
