very nice job, as usual!! just a question. I tried to apply custom textures on this new addon (just for fun). It works with the MH-60G but it doesn't with the HH-60G and the other version. i used the line : this setObjectTexture [number, "NameofPic.paa"] i just copied and pasted this line on the init line of the different chopper versions. On the HH-60 versions, the default textures are shown instead of my custom ones. is my OFP playing with me or am i really stupid??? by the way, i've read the readme file....

funny....when i saw the release of this pack on ofp.cz, i was sure that such discussion would happen on the official forum. You don't want other people use your addons, well, binarize everything or keep it for yourself. Everybody can see the credits in the readme so the community can know what was just took from other addons and what was made by ORCS. I usually don't post in such threads where people are complaining about someone stealing something from their addons. but now, i 'm really getting upset. It's like that some addon makers want to have the same control on their addons than BIS on the content of the game. Do you hear some mission makers complaining because someone made modifications in their missions??? do you hear scripters complaining because someone modified their scripts to fit perfectly to their needs? I never saw such things. Such troubles are always created by addon makers. So please, complain by PM and not on the forum. an other fucked up thread........

i put the zip on my ftp so you can donwload it: fightpositions i hope it will fit to what you need. There is a nice MGnest in this small pack.

try WW2 fighting positions.

redface, could you post a scan of this article about footmunch's work?

everybody has forgot OFrP......... i think the article is not so bad even if for people from the community the article missed the most important things. I am more upset about the fact that the journalist seems to be a guy who doesn't know OFP community (OpFap!!!!!where did he find it????). anyway, WE (the community) knows where OFP is today and that the most importat thing.

i haven't read the fifteen pages. what i can say about the addon-makers and people complaining is that it's impossible to avoid such bad attitudes. there will always be people thinking that it's normal addon-makers release perfect addons for them and for free. I rarely post about addons. If i don't like an addon then i don't use it and i won't complain to the addon maker because i think he made the addon the way he wanted it and he could make it. When i post it's to report i found a bug or to ask a question on the way the addon works (after having read the read me ). I could post more just to say "great job guys!" but i feel like flooding the thread. So the best way i found to show that i support addon-makers is to use their addons on the server of my team and to make mission with. I think deadmeat and other addon-makers have the feeling that the community is spoiled because a lot of people like me just use the addons they like and don't post to say "i like it" as much as the ones who are complaining. Perhaps, we (people not complaining about addons but enjoying them) should say more to addon-makers that we love their work.... But, there's also something which is not good from the addon-makers community (i don't talk about BAS ). A lot of mod show pictures, give informations about their wrok in progress. On one hand, it's a good thing, we know what's coming in few months which allows a lot of people to continue to play OFP. On the other hand, it could give the feeling to some people that the addons announcements are like promises done by the addon-makers, that they deserve the addons. When Earl and Suchey's marines were released a lot of people started to say that they were disappointed about the addon. I don't meen that complains about addons are the result of the way addon-makers advertise about their work, i just wonder about it as an element that can make complainers to complain more (even if it's not a reason to complain). I know it's really tiring to read bullshit from people who always complain, but i hope addon-makers will continue their great work. I and some mates left a clan cause some peolpe was always complainig about anything, just like if they loved to complain. As a mission maker, i used addons in my missions, trying to make nice and realistic missions, but after a moment i gave it up cause i was bored of people complaining cause they had problems to use the addons needed in my missions, they didn't want to download the addons or any other reasons. i'm telling it just to let you know that i know complains are not the thing to look at but that it always affects people and the pleasure they have to make things for the community.

very nice addon! the seagulls are great but could it be possible to disable it for empty boat model and when it's destroyed?

Turn down the viewdistance, turn up the fog. Indeed, since 1.95 (where BIS introduced the new terrain algorithms) I have been able to use Tonal on my "low end system" which is based on an AMD K6-2 500MHz processor. You have to accpet that it wont look as pretty, and you wont be able to see as far, but it WILL run on slow pc's. You have that crap of a machine? I wonder how you can still play anything on it. Is it really impossible for you to get a decent PC? Today good PC are not that expensive anymore. I'm upgrading my machine 2-3 times a year to keep pace with the evolution. So just being curious...what prevents you to get a up-to-date machine? money!!! expensive or not expensive pc is not the question, it's having enough money

strange... i had only czech alphabet letters in the subtitles.... i've looked if had to modify some options but i didn't find an option about it. this is what i got in game and during the cutscenes: maybe i'm too stupid to find how to get it in english...

can someone teach me czech??? very nice intro (a bit too long) and addons but it's sad that the campaign is not translated in english. I'm french and i had no czech lessons at school....difficult to know what's happening during missions.

well, i've read the forum topics about sound, i tried what it was written but i still have the same problem. So what i want is that a unit says a sound and that only people next to it can hear it. what is strange is when i try with: unit say "sound" the sound is not played. when i use the playSound command, it plays the sound but not on a localized way. same if i try to play the sound with a trigger. if i try with the trigger effect "voice", it doesn't play the sound. when i use "anonymous", it works. I put the sound in subfolder called "sound". here is my description.ext: hope someone could help me....

even it's a little too late for christmas, even if it's a basic pack, it's a nice present. Thx Deadmeat.

avon's right. the solution: mod folders. Don't put addons in the AddOns and Res/AddOns folders. Use mod folder to avoid addons conflict. Since i do it, i have no error messages anymore.

thx.

it's just wonderful!!!! ok...then.....i found a bug.... ......not a big problem......but just to let you know. i tested the javelin in the editor. I put a BMP3 ERA from VITAPC pack. I shoot the bmp then i lay down to shoot the crew with my M16 and i have this message on my screen:

I'm downloading and i don't beleive it......

just use the invisible targets from the BAS tonal pack with the line: _Unite doFire _target

i found another strange bug, like the breakdancing one, when i was editing. the unit is standing straight then after 5 sec from the start of the preview, this happen: then after 4-5 sec, the unit stand straight again. it looks like an anim for rope insertion from a chopper. In this mission i use some elements coming from the BAS MH-47E. EDIT: it doesn't happen during each preview.

very very nice!!!!! avon will be happy, finally she will be able to hide from the nasty AIs.

Thank you.

an other question about the features of this mod. i've read the read me classnames but i couldn't find the name of the tripwires as ammo like those that the engineer can deploy. I want to put some of them in an ammo box, I tried FDF_flarewire and FDF_tripwire as ammo name but it didn't work could someone help me with it? please......

I really love this mod. Probably the best one. The 1.0 was great and things are just getting better with the 1.1. i have a little question about the tent. In the 1.0, it was possible to light a fire in the tent and smoke was coming out. If i remember well, it was the line "this inflame true". Since i installed the 1.1, this line doesn't work anymore. Have you remove this possibility? if not, what is the correct line to get the smoke? thx for the answer.

avon, France is a LAIC country. it means that the public school is free for everyone. everyone, muslim, jew, christian or people who doesn't believe in a religion like me. There's also christian schools, muslim schools and jew schools for people who wants to study in their religion rules. The first reason to not allowed religious signs or political signs is to be neutral with everyone. it has nothing to do with xenophobia. In 1905 a first law was adopted in France which separate church and state. The result was a big fight with christian people to remove the cross from the classrooms. When you look at countries which are ruled by a religious government (doesn't matter which religion), there's always citizens who have their full rights and others from different religions than the government who don't have those rights. The aim of a laic social system is that all citizens get the same rights and duties without any negative or positive discriminations. I know it's not the same in USA. You use positive discrimination. But here in France, it's against the principles of the Republic. A man is a man, a woman is a woman, even if he or she is black, white, yellow, red, green, christian, muslim, jews, communist, capitalist, socialist or whatever. There are no points of view forbidden here (except the nazi ideas). I can understand that you're shocked by this future law because even if USA and FRANCE (maybe i'm wrong but i think you're from united states, don't you) are occidental countries very close historically, we have a lot of differences. For exemple, i'm shocked when i see the President of USA swearing on the bible. I'm shocked when i hear that a minority get some "extra rights" because they are black, homosexual or wasp. About the public space. Being in the street and being at school or in the administration are two different things. A public space is not public because there are different people. A public space is for everybody, ruled by the same laws for everybody. When students are disputing the knowledge and the teaching because of their beliefs, they're trying, conscientiously or unsconscientiously, to turn the public space into a private space with their own rules. When people asks hours for men and others for women to have access to a place it's the same problem. When you work for the government, you represent it and the principles of the nation, you don't have to promote your political ideas or religious beliefs. i don't want that you become laic or that you agree with the french point of view but please stop saying bullshit like it's a xenophobic attitude because it's not, it's the contrary. i'd be glad that all people here who doesn't understand these point make some research about what laic means and i guess you should at least understand why we are for this law in France.

acecombat, you should be more aware of the situation here in France. First the future law is not against muslims and the scarf, it's against any religious signs or political signs shown at school or in the administration. The point is that religious beliefs are private and must not interfere, in this case, with the knowledge teached at school or the job people have to do for the state. do you know that some students, because they have religious beliefs, don't accept to follow some courses because the content is in contradiction with their beliefs, they contest some parts of european history and refuse to study what happened to jews during WW2 or they affirm it's false? Such attitudes can't be allowed or accepted. About women wearing scarf on their own free will, did you hear about "ni putes, ni soumises"? It's the name of a women walk through France during this year. They did it to protest against the pressure put on them by some men. They come from suburbs where a lot of muslims live. The only way for these women to live "normaly" is to wear the scarf. If they don't, they are insulted, called whores or bitches. Some of them, because they were wearing dresses, using make-up, living as a european woman, were raped. One year ago, a girl was burnt alive by guys because she was, as these bastards called her, a "whore"!!!! And the scarf should be their only chance to escape to such treatment? i'm living in a nation where nobody cares about your religion or your political beliefs. You can do what you want, believe what you want but you have to respect one thing: men and women are equal. The main problem now is that muslims or jews ask that public swimming-pools should be open some days for men and others for women, that muslim women should not be auscultate by male doctors,etc.... the scarf problem and the future law are just the exemple to say loud to everybody that the french Republic is LAIC, that each citizen, man or woman, has the same rights and duties than the others and that people who wants to live in France have to accept it.
