Hello Trapper thanks for the tip I gotta contact Mikero then. would like to know some more about this. I guess it'll gonna be pretty time consuming to convert all missions. Maybe I should leave it and build some from scratch. It's just a pitty because I put lot's of work into it. It's just that I haven't too much time on my hands and therefore I always proceed so damn slowly. What do you mean by that. I'm still experimenting and therefore I haven't figured yet the differences. I would be glad if you could enlighten me on this matter in question. Thanks in advance. nettrucker

Hello Matt thanks for your reply. I . . .well actually the campaign has been made for Nogova. And I would like to leave that this way. I would just like to change units . . .that means I have to change all class names in the mission.sqm. This is gonna be a long and a tough work though. Is it possible for e.g. load the Nogova island into AA? Anyway I'm still testing AA and I didn't dare so far doing some experiments like loading old OFP Addons into AA. Thanks anyway. nettrucker

Hello all I have a real strange problem. I purchased in January AA in a media store in a big warehouse in Germany. I installed the game and I was able to play it. Next day my DVD drive did not reveal the CD. It gives me an error message to insert the original Cd into the drive even it was already in there. So I disinstalled and reinstalled the game and I could play it. Next day the same drill. Does not read the original disk which bugs me quite heavily. Is there anybody who could give me some tips what to do. Since I'm living in Italy there's no way to go back to the store and change the CD. Glad for any suggestion. nettrucker

Hi Q thanks for the tip . . . I'll do so and hopefully I'll be able to solve this problem, if not I just wasted 40 Euros. Well actually I saw that alot of people have similar probs. Cheers nettrucker

Hi troop thanks for your suggestions. Windows XP is up to date. I might have to check chipset settings. The messagge in Italian just tells you to click on the link to get some more details. Error reads no disc. Every other media CD is read by the DVD drive that's why it's so strange that only with the AA CD no contents are displayed. Anyway thanks for all your suggestions. Cheers nettrucker

Hello troop Thanks for your reply. I guess it has something to do with SecuRom. This is the message which is visualized on screen: Vedi http://www.securom.com/message.asp?m=nodisc&l=it per ulteriori dettagli. The Dvd drive takes more than 10 sec. to read. When I'm clicking on the DVD drive shortcut icon on my desktop and choose explore, no contents are visualized. I tried to use the one of my old computer and all contents can be seen there, but the system specs are not sufficient to run AA on my old computer. I haven't seeen any numbered code so far or maybe I missed something. Also double clicking does not change anything. The DVD drive do not see disc contents, only after reinstalling the game. See that lots of people have problems running AA once installed and that's pretty bad. Cheers nettrucker

Hi check your personal messages!

Hi all @ karantan: Thanks for anticipating a reply. It takes some time for me to respond, since I changed appartment and I still don't have a working internet connection yet. @ 456820: You can find our campaign also here http://ofpc.de/downloads.xhtml?list=ofpc&von=5&cat=kampagnen it's another german site or here: http://ofp.gamezone.cz/index.php?sekce=campaigns Hope this will help.

Hello everybody finally our campaign got reviewed on OFPEC by Shadow=ASP=. After a long wait it's finally done. If you don't know our campaign already then head over to OFPEC and take a look at the review so you can decide for yourself if it might be worth to download it. After 6 month this campaign has been downloaded more than 1500 times on various OFP sites. Go and check it out here's the link: http://www.ofpec.com/missions/mission_detail.php?ID=1269 Best regards TOY & nettrucker

It's not that noone bothers reviewing missions on OFPEC. They're simply overloaded with missions and campaigns. Too much people creating missions and there are only a few guys who are reviewing. You want your mission reviewed send it to the OFPMDB. They are reviewing in a pretty short time. Watch one of the topics like mission of the week. There you can find the link to their site.

Did some testing for a while now. I encountered some probs with random weather .I tried to disable the rw in the ECP settings. But it doesn't seem to work. It always start to rain after a couple of min. I wonder if anybody else experienced such kind of thing. AI behaviour changes drastically when using Info share script. Skill level increases very much. I turned down the AI skill level to 0 in a mission, the enemy became kind of elite soldiers. It's harder to close on objectives you need to pay lot more of attention. Mission editing with ECP is very different now. I try to avoid using lots of triggers with lot's of condition especially regarding AI behaviour. Also making cinematics became different since some AI react differently now. @ Tim Pink I loved the soundtracks you did on the videos. really fantastic @ Zayfod My compliments for all the soundediting you guys did,. this is an exellent work. It added such a great different atmosphere to OFP. You guys did a hell of a work, from weapons to radio chatter etc. I know some about sound editing, and I know how much hard work it is. Special effects and scripting is outstanding. The best mod I've seen so far. Keep up this fantastic work. Regards nettrucker

It depends also on the islands which are used in the missions. Nogova lags pretty badly. The mission I'm working on is on Desert Island, and even using lots of AI it doesn't lag at all.

Hi! I encountered the same prob when experimenting with a soundfile. I used a soundfile which started with a capital letter. I changed it then and renamed the soundfile and it worked, but I'm not quite sure if this was the reason, maybe I had a typing error as you. Watch the name line you wrote balttel instead of battel. I don't know if you wrote it on purpose, but isn't it supposed to be written battle? However I think you gotta do some more experiments.

Hi Komuna! Thanks for the explanation. This is a great implement. Does that work also in intros? Well nevertheless I'll gonna check this out anyway. I experienced some funny things though. All missions I played so far with the mod, after a while it started to rain. AI skill increased very much. I'm still working on a mission where I set the skill level down to simulate a long firefight. When playing it with ECP, enemy AI became top shots,very dangerous. The sounds you implemented are great. This is the best mod I've seen so far, since you concentrated on different aspects of OFP then other mods. I'm really impressed. Also both videos you made are fantastic. First time I saw the first one it took me some time to recover from my surprise. Especially the camerashot of the grenade thrown towards the enemy, really great camwork. I loved both soundtracks too. If I'm not wrong Tim Pink did them. However thanks for gaving the community such a new and extraordinary playing sensation. This is an exellent work, once again my congrats to all the team. Â

Hi ECP Team! I followed the development for some time now. My congrats to all of you guys. It's the most fantastic experience playing OFP in the ECPmod. I dl/ed both videos you did, and I was impressed. I have a question though. What does the spectator function means. I couldn't figure out it's use yet. Can someone enlighten me. Thanks for replying, and for having created such a fantastic mod.

Hi 456820! Â Thanks alot mate. You got certainly a point about this. I agree that the mission hasn't to be difficult, long or tricky for being a good mission. What counts for me, is the impression I have when playing a mission. When creating TYTD it was just like a puzzle. Adding one piece after another until it grew always more complex. I see some people complain because of objectives missing from the briefing. Well in reality when one gets a mission what you are told to and what you have to do are often vastly different. Also the intelligence you start off is already old and gets older and more unreliable the longer you are out in the field. Â To me things like knowing exactly where something is and exactly what the objectives are not what happens in real life. We tried to imagine the situation our main caracter has to face in the campaign. In the first missions you're always on the run and under constant pressure. You got only few or no information about the situation. The Enemy don't forgive mistakes. You are mostly outnumbered and outgunned in the first missions. It's up to the player to take certain decisions, since you don't have enough reliable intelligence on the situation. So we decided to leave certain objectives out of the briefing and not to let them appear as a hidden objective. We know that we'll get maybe some bad ratings from the mission reviewer at OFPEC for this, but we didn't wanted to be limited in our creativity because we have to follow standard rules and opinions, about how a mission has to be done. Watch the pics we used. Artak from OFPEC called them "odd pictures".lol. It's not that much important to get a very high rating. I mean we would be pleased if we can achieve a high rating, but we already know it's nearly impossible to get a max. rate, because we're out of the standard. We didn't spent only weeks on a mission, but months. One of the most time consuming things were the syncronisation of the radio and speech files. We tweaked around for a while until we were satisfied. There are so many things you have to consider and work on when creating a mission the way we did.And there's still some space for improvements. But I think we spent already too much time on this project. It's easier to work in a team with lot's more of people who are working on a project, it's sometimes hard to get it done, making everything on your own, since you are a mission maker you know what we're talking about. We're really happy that you liked it so much, so all our effort we put in this campaign was worth something, and that's the most important thing. We're already working on a single player mission, but it's still in the initial phase and it'll take some time to get it done. TOY went today in Japan he'll be back at the end of August, so everythings stuck at the moment. And there always many real life issues which keep us away from proceeding rapidly to get a mission done. However we'll release some other stuff in future. Thanks for your comments and for the high rating you gave us on OFPEC. Cheers mate and have a nice holiday. TOY & nettrucker Â

I'm posting it here, because it relates to our campaign. A friend of mine had some problems with playing certain missions that's what he wrote. The game crashes to desktop when clicking on continue to play the next mission. Does anyone else, who played our campaign, experienced anything similar or maybe the same? What I'm wondering about is the error message in "Escape". What the hell is the editorupdate1.75 noe. I never heard about this. Can someone please enlighten me. Thanks for replying

Hi [iTěQ] We know, and it's not that we're whining about that. It depends also if you're a consumer or a maker. Makers are suffereing mostly on lack of time, for TOY and me it's the same thing. Yeah no problem, if you wanna give it a try, go ahead. Hey thanks man, we're glad you liked it. Thanks for posting Cheers! TOY & nettrucker

Hi everybody. As for the fact that on the main sites all mission reviewers are so damn busy cause their overloaded with work, in the meantime TYTD got reviewed on the german site OFPMDP- The Mission Data Base Maybe this will convince you to play " Too Young To Die" Here's the link of the review http://ofpmdb.teamp2p.de/phpkit....881ece7 Hope to hear still some feedback . . . if not well then we have just wasted 2 years of our time. Regards TOY & nettrucker

Hi everybody. @ Placebo - It's really pitty though. Well anyway thanks for replying. @ raedor - Well I was just asking, but I already knew the answer. Anyway TOY and me hope that in future there might be a new MEC. BTW you guys doing a fantastic work with all your addons. Regards TOY & nettrucker

Hi Placebo! Will there ever be a new MEC this year? Thanks for replying. Regards TOY & nettrucker

Hi everybody. I'm not willing to let this topic die. I'm a very ostinated person. It is really sad that, nobody's interested in missions anymore. Facts are speaking for themselves (watch the replies) This is for those who are still playing missions. This is a real challenge. For all you hardcore players out there this won't be new. SP Mission: TJ's Airaid Author: TJ Ofp-Resistance needed No third party addons needed, as far as I know. Brief Description: Eastern surprise attack at the airport. And you are inbetween all this mess. The enemy is going to throw anything at their  disposal at you. They must take the airport at any cost. Personal comment: This is a very tough mission. Smart enemy AI behaviour. Attacks coming in waves, and you're under constant pressure. Had to replay this one several times to figure out the right tactics, to use. Get this one, you won't regret it. http://opflashpoint.org/maps.php?v=875 Have fun!

Hi everybody. May I ask all you guys who down dl/ed our campaign just a small favor. After having played our campaign, just give us a rate. Next time you connect to OFPEC Just make a short jump to the missiondepot, pending campaign section and please give us a rate. It takes just a couple of seconds. This campaign has been dl/ed nearly a thousand times ( Vers.0,1- vers.0,2, -Final) and we received in all this time 1 rating. That's pretty frustrating for us having worked on it for 2 years.Thanks for doing this. Regards TOY & nettrucker

Hi Militia Sniper! It may depend on the filesize of your upload. This was one of the submission rules. My buddy and me had some probs with uploading our campaign. But with the gentle help of some stuff members we managed it. Cheers mate.

Hi everybody. I just tried to dl the Happy Warrior campaign but wasn't able to, because I was requested a username and a password. Is there any chance to dl it somewhere else? BTW I'm using DAP to dl, maybe it's not working for this reason. I just wanted to suggest another nice Sp mission, it's an old one but worth playing it. SP mission: 10th Air Cav. Author: Cumboy Description: You're supposed to clean a town held by russian forces after Helo insertion. Smart enemy placement. You gotta be very carefull. No Addons needed. It's a real pitty that only few people post in this thread, but as General Barron already said noone's playing missions anymore, because most members of the community are to busy with creating their own stuff. http://opflashpoint.org
