    I cannot stand having a HUGE list of addons to scroll through every time i want to add a unit.

    Also if i create any missions i dont want to have to make the file in excess of 20 MB just because i have to allow for all the addons i used.

    Can anyone help with some addons that meet the following criteria:

    1) Relatively Modern (1980 onwards)

    2) Very Good quality (none of the stupid graphic errors that show your muzzle flash when not firing,)

    3) Realistic (no zoomable M16's with no cope visible - can look through scope but when looking at gun there isnt one, Also no Terminator weapons)

    4) Decent Camo - Dont just put SAS in black, SBS/SEALS in diving suits and make Delta force look like a SWAT team,  i hate this!

    5) Popular - I want to be able to share missions using them without attaching the addons each time

    6) Preferably British but am also looking for others

    Let me know,

    Matt

    I have had a play with the Maldives island, but it is very small.

    At the moment I am looking at the North West of Nogova, there is a bit of land there that is quite good. Still open for any comments though.

    I am only using original units so if anyone is interested in having a look let me know

    i am looking for a map that i can recreate some battles for the Falklands on. I dont need it to be geographically correct, as the scenery is the most important thing.

    I was thinking similar to Malden, without the forests + with not so many trees, buildings and roads.

    Basically i want lots of open spaces in a hilly environment with nothing but some bushes and the odd building, maybe a couple of towns + roads but not too much. Malden's ground is the closest i have seen so far as Everon + Nogova is a bit too dark.

    I have had a play with WRP edit and i cant use the bloody thing!

    Oh i have been told about Maldives already but heard it is vey small, d/l ing it as i type, still looking for other suggestions

    Can anyone help please?

    I have noticed that if you have  a weapon up and change the rate of fire, then change weapon and then back, the rate of fire is reset,

    eg.

    Select M16, set rof to burst, weapon law launcher, weapon M16, ROF now = single.

    Does the switch keep catching on my back?rock.gif?rock.gif??

    Would be good if this could be altered in OFP2, only a small point i know, but it is the small things that make a game.

    Hi,

    Is it just me or do hand grenades not detonate on impact. This is the only fault like this i can find in flashpoint, was very suprised to see something like this wrong. Would be good to see a more realistic hand grenade operation, like pull pin as one mouse click, and throw as the next, would make it more realistic.

    Would it be possible to include some of the regularly used scripts into the editor eg:

    1) Having an option to place a unit that will only appear after X number of seconds. WIll make it easier to use waypoints etc. than with createunit.

    2) Have a respawn option, maybe including a place and max number of times

    3) Would it be too complicated to have weapon loadout option different to soldier class. Can make it easier to mix and match uniforms and weapons. - Possibly also have tick boxes for available actions - Hide body, swim, etc.

    i am creating a Vietnam mission similar to "We were Soldiers", and want a large assault on a landing zone.  I need a script that will wait until a whole group is dead, then respawn at a set point and follow the waypoints of the previous group, i want this to happen 3 or 4 times and then stop.  How can i do this?

    2. To solve this small problem, I just figured what the hell, just movein everybody right? Well, at the LZ, there is a getout waypoint (for the inf) and a cargo unload waypoint (for the helicopter). Well, Mr. Commander decides to sprout off a little move command right before we take off (something to do with the getout..). Well, shut up jerkweed, we just started the mission, stop shouting off orders until we actually get somewhere, you moron. A way to prevent this with still having my synced getout and unload waypoints would be...?

    I am doing an ambush mission where i want the groups to disembark when fired upon, so i made a trigger that allows the enemy to fire after a certain point, this trigger sets a variable to be true, which is the "condition" for the "getin" waypoint.   The officer says nothing until we are fired upon, when he tells the group to get out.  smile.gif

    I have come up with a solution, but it isnt very good:

    Set the units as East, but change their skins to be that of a West Soldier. Set the unit to be careless and hold fire, then they wont shoot you, maybe get rid of careless to make sure they run around like mad!

    Not very good solution though, would be better to have them as west confused.gif
