-Snafu-

This is my first ever public mission so it is nothing too complicated although it did take me a wee while to make. I made it so there was a mission for the 1st ID and so I could learn the editor. The mission is about an attack on a SLA outpost in the South Sahrani mountains by the 1st ID. It is 'set' a little bit after the defence of the Airport by the SBCT in the official campaign. The mission uses a few scripts the most important of which is Wolfrug's Body Armour. Your squad is equipped with body armour so they can take slightly more damage than normal. It also adds in a new gameplay element as your troops can be stunned. So if you see a soldier of yours lying on the ground go up to him and see if you can give him first aid. An action should appear in the menu. When you do that your trooper will be revived in a few seconds. Hope you enjoy the mission. Constructive comments welcome.

*shameless bump* Mission reviewed by bert at OFPEC Overall score of 7. Thanks for the review bert.

Aye, tried the mod last night and that happened to me with the desert boonie Marine. An error message popped up about a missing p3d. In addition the whole of the config.cpp (regular and editable) is FUBAR. The text is all muddled up which means I can't use the option part of the config (ie enable SLX grass). Does anybody else get this? Was a different program other than notepad used to do the conifg.cpp? Otherwise I really like the mod. The options, effects, model replacements and model additions are ace. Thanks Rooney.

Awesome! Never expected that!

@ stun Glad you liked the mission. About the radio thing, the radio action only shows up in both 0-0 and the map when you are the commander of the group. When you are a member of the group it only shows up on the map radio. @ Cameron McDonald No problem, glad you are enjoying it.

This campaign is ace! It's like being in 28 Days Later and you used the track from that film which was the icing on the cake for me. The only bug I encountered was on the mission at Carmen where one of the convoy trucks got stuck at a lampost where they were supposed to turn left. I did a retry and the lamp was gone. Really good work.

One important issue is that OFP is made by BIS (except Red Hammer Campaign) while OFP2 is being developed by Codemaster's so it could turn out completely different than the original.

Nice video Daniel! Helicopter gun run scenes especially awesome.

IIRC when I was at www.ofpfiles.com I mirrored all the latest files. Just go there and put 'RHS' into the search box for OFPR. You will get a list of all the RHS addons complete with version numbers.

In the past couple days browsing your forums I have had a '500 Internal Server Error'. Having trouble with the site? Or could be something on my end actually.

Hey, Good to see an increasing number of people getting stuck into the mission editor. The more the merrier eh? If you want to further enhance your mission go here http://ofpec.com check out the tutorials and hop in the forum (post your mission up on the Beta section if you want and you will get advice on how to improve it) and see what help you can get. I was in the same situation with my mission a couple months ago, went to OFPEC and thanks to them the mission has improved a hell of a lot. I am now able to use scripts and understand the editor MUCH better than before. It is also worth learning basic camera scripting for intro's and outro's. I managed to learn them a couple days ago thanks to this tutorial. (It is in English). Also google Chris ArmA editor (allows you to create scripts, briefings, overviews etc.) if you have not got that yet. Very useful tool.

According to Eric L. Haney's book "Inside Delta Force" they were sent to raid a prison but aborted when they discovered it was abandoned. They did come under enemy fire, though. One operator who habitually carried a toothbrush and paste with him was hit, causing toothpaste to splatter all over the place. It allegedly took them some time to work out what the white goo was that was apparently coming out of his leg. I was bout to say the same thing. Didn't he criticise the Blackhawk's and praise the Huey's? Or was it the other way round? It has been at least 3 years since I read it so my memory is hazy. Also, wasn't there something about a blinded soldier managing to hold off the enemy? Anyway, it is a refreshing choice for a mod. Good luck with it.

Let us have a look at some facts: Despite the onslaught of the Spanish and to a lesser extent the Portuguese the cultures and languages of these people still survive today. Just because these nations do not have their autonomy does not mean that they don't exist. Many survive captive within the Spanish settler states. In the Andes, 12 million still speak the language of the Inca's: the murder of Atawallpa in 1533 and the violence of today's Shining Path are parts of the same story. Central America has 6 million speakers of Maya and if Guatemala really had majority rule it would be a Maya Republic. It is quite clear why a large number of these people want their nations back.

Completely agree with Fab. Can't wait to give it a try! I was at the Gordon Highlander's Museum in Aberdeen today and there was some very interesting stories over the units history especially regarding WW1. For example there was an entire Company of students from the University of Aberdeen in the Regiment. Some really heroic stuff. Once this is released I will try and make a mission for it based loosely off one of these accounts.

My xfire is snafu89.

A man who thinks turbulence on an aircraft is sabotage is paranoid. He hampered his aircraft designers. This is why some projects were kept 'secret' by the aircraft designers. For example in order to test the idea of the delta wing a couple aircraft designers had to disguise it as a trainer aircraft simply because Stalin didn't trust them. Some of those aircraft designers had brilliant ideas and they had to wiat for Stalin's death before they could really bring their ideas to the forefront. The Purges were not necessary at all. There were no proper trials and hardly any evidence presented. Once the state said you were an enemy that was it for the poor peasant/ethnic minority/party member etc. Stalin wanted to consolodate his power within the party killing any potential opponents. The it was used for social control. Your favourite source even agrees with me. News flash. They were "your kind of people" worked to death in there! Most were not political prisoners. People were thrown in there for ridiculous things such as petty theft, un-explained absences from work or taking the mick out of the government. You are making it sound as if all nations went and created camps specially for Communist/Socialists.They were porbably prisoners forced to do Labour. So you can count criminals in there as well and German/Italian prisoners. But not all Communists/Socialists were arrested. It ain't nice but they were not worked to death. And I have never said anything about Sweden. You are delusional. LMFAO. There was nationalism hundreds of years before the Napoleonic Wars! Just look at Scotland's reaction to the passing of the Union of 1707. 'Empires have fallen in a 100 years while Scotland has always stood strong.' Even when the Union was passed there was no real effort to create a British nationalism. The Scots were always proud to be Scottish and the Scottish identity has remained. This totally blows your theory of nationalism out of the water. I don't identify myelf as British. I just don't want Scotland to leave the Union. Nationalism has existed for hundreds of years. Yes it is a conspiracy theory. Do you have any common sense? Wishing people's death is not going to win you friends anywhere! Ever think that that mod might have family over there? Has had friends die there? Beggars fcuking beleif Spokes does. What the hell has that got to do with my comment? There are efforts to get some of their old culture back. Many of them (not me you mong) would like to see their old states back.

The Purges were not necessary. Stalin was extremely paranoid. For example Aircraft designers (who had some brilliant concepts) were hampered by Stalin as he thought they were enemies as he had experienced severe turbulence druing one flight and thought it was sabotage. But since you follow the argument that the Purges were necessary you must have to ask yourself why so many were killed. Socialism must have not been working very well if all that people were against it. So you defend the Labour Camps. Well why don't we put you in one and see how you like it! Nopey nopes. Language and culture is what makes nationalism. And according to your logic the Very Very Secret Evil Capitalist Rulersâ„¢ must have invented these concepts as well. This in turn must have meant that humans were mindless robots waiting for some input into their brain. Hilarious stuff! It is a sentiment based on common cultural characteristics. We don't need several hundred threads on different aspects of US politics. There is one thread for all. If you posted in there it would have been fine. Simple. But no it is far easier for you to come up with some crazy conspiracy theory. Get a proper hobby. Generally History has shown that countries that go TITS UP vote in governments that are either extreme right or left wing. Would the Soviet state have existed without WW1 making Russia a shitty mess? Me thinks not. McWrong. If you look at what is going on in South America right now you will see attempts to resurrect their ancient cultures and drift away from the Spanish and US influence. This topic has just went way off!

I completely agree with MehMan's above above post. Bingo was his fcuking name-o. Spokesperson is nothing but a troll. As idiotic as he sounds he knows that his views will be met with hostility yet he persists in posting them. He has already said he is not trying to entice people to his viewpoint so he is probably just posting for shits and giggles (just like Marxist feminism even though Marxism was not sexist at all eh Spoker?) You can't take someone who defends and praises the Purges seriously. He also claims to think for himself when actually he is just pushing the leftist line. I try my best to look at things individually unlike Spokesperson who looks up some leftist book to see what he should argue. He also called me a flag waver just because I am proud of who I am and where I come from. Apparently it is a capitalist invention and has nothing to do with my culture language etc. But since he follows this argument he will have to realise that he is a flag waver of communism. Obviously he does not see the irony. He also thinks the BIS moderators are part of some Liberal propaganda machine which has to be the funniest thing he has said. Moreover the claim that socialism is taking over is funny. If a country such as the US became socialist then I would beleive it. They are getting voted in shit countries because those countries are shit. To say socialism is taking over because rubbish countries are turning to it is hilarious. Hell, the SNP may stand for independence but that does not mean that everyone who votes for them wants Scottish independence! If I lived in a nation that was poor I would vote a different government in. I have came to the conclusion that he is nowt but a forum troll who is wasting BIS bandwidth. I have seen people banned on these forums for less trolling than Spokes has done. Anyway I'm sure that the people in the South American continent would rather see their old states (Azetc, Inca, Mayan etc.) rebuilt than have socialism brought in to the Spanish set up nations they reside in.

You don't understand. The BLEED UK addon can never use FaceTex because it does not use the high poly head model that FaceTex needs to map a face texture onto the head model. MCM mod uses the high ploy head model as standard. It 'replaces' the BIS head model. Thus when you use an addon with it that does not have the high poly head model the face will look strange. This is because the texture it has mapped onto it is for the high poly head model and not the BIS head model. As I said above you have two options: - Keep using it with MCM and just put up with the 'broken' faces or - Replace the BIS head on these addons with the Llaumax high poly head models. This requires knowledge on addon making.

FacesTex won't work for them either because they still use the regular BIS head. Your options are: - Use these addons with MCM and put up with the 'broken' faces or - Replace the BIS heads on these units with the Llaumax ones. For this you will need permission from the authors as well as knowledge on addon making.

What unit are you applying FaceTex to? Thanks for this mod Rooney I really like it so far. I still play OFP now and then and it's nice to have a mod I can fire up and have a good variety of units to play about with.

FFUR does not use the high poly head model unlike the MCM Mod. That is why other addons work fine with it.

Obviously. I never even implied such a thing.

That is because LLaumax high poly heads replaced regular BIS heads and as a consequence units that use regular head model look strange. That is because the texture for Llaumax head model does not fit for regular head model. Nothing can be done about it.
