Thanks

That isn't it (for a start the one I'm talking about is set in Iraq). There's one of the 60s chevy trucks in the opening scene on the street, if that helps.

I guess this is a video rather than a mod, but it was made using OFP and some mods for it. It uses a Muse song that includes the lyrics "Revenge will come" and was posted on Youtube (searching there was fruitless). The story of the video revolves around a pair of Iraqis that get caught up in the war. One of them dies in crossfire between US Marines and Iraqi combatants. The other vows to seek revenge, joins an armed group of some kind, gets his car packed with explosives and blows up a US checkpoint suicide bomb stylee (cue slow motion and multiple angles). Hopefully you're still reading and can help me find the video Thanks for any help.

Indeed, the T-55 was the most common tank in the Russian arsenal at the time.

Not sure how well this will work on my crap rig: 1.8Ghz Pentium 4, 1GB RAM, Radeon 7500

Yeah, tell me about it, and now the west's hardware is joining them...

If nobody's done a D-30 howitzer, I'll look into that as well...

Thanks for the link. I was hoping to do a large section of Eastern Afghanistan including the cities of Kabul, Bagraam and Jalallabad, with some smaller towns in between, and possibly part of the Pakistani border. Since I mention that, perhaps I should have a go at making some Afghan military units...

No, don't get too excited - this is an idea. However on my own it will take a long time to make, so I was wondering if a more experienced map-maker would care to join me on such a project. Feel free to drop me ideas though.

Hes basically saying we should create a scripting resource for newbies, with scripts such as the above example being requestable.

Read what I just posted above. Granted, it wasnt necessarily a sensible course of action, but who thinks rationally when invading soldiers shoot their loved one and they see it totally ignored by everyone? Like I said before, try to look at it from the character's point of view.

Perhaps, but you could also extrapolate this from the video: The guy wasnt a soldier, just an average civilian. Business was slow (ok I'm guessing here) and he had difficulty supporting himself and his wife. Driving the van with explosives into the checkpoint\convoy would have been "easier" than fighting a prolonged guerilla war against the US forces. Edit: Also, revenge killings are commonplace in Iraq.

Try looking at things from the Iraqis' perspective for a change.

Play it in WinDVD and use its capture function.
