Asmodeus

Thank you for the honorable mention bohnicz! I've been away for a very long time, but I still like following mentions of our Submarine project from time to time. Â Â I feel we did overcome engine limitations... things just simply weren't meant to go underwater. Â We even had the honor of having a certain BIS member beta test our sub and give some very appreciated feedback. Â (Thank you very much! Now with Armed assault who knows, maybe the Everon Cartel will come back to surface. Â (excuse the pun) Â See you around all, Asmodeus P.S. Sorry for bringing up an old topic I totally forgot to check the date before posting... yes I've been gone that long.

I usually just use the "crawling training" object and setpos it. No need to make it turn over or anything. Asmo

Hi, An unimportant question I felt like asking: Does the submission id have anything to do with the number of missions submitted? Thank you. Asmo

That was an excellent post (this one: Posted: Aug. 15 2004,10:48 ) General Barron and I completely agree. Â I think the right to own guns point is a huge one. Â Why do people look down on America for retaining this right? Â Do those people really think that people that have legal guns are shooting each other on purpose all the time, or is it usually black market guns that would still be around anyway if there was a gun ban? Â Â (Just to think about the criminals here, they probably hope for guns to be banned, they could rob anyone's house without worrying about being shot) Anyways, something I'd like to say as well is that in my opinion America is focusing on "policing the world" way too much due to very questionable oil ties and without a global majority support when we could stay more within our own borders and focus on other means of transportation and security. Â It is very understandable that a great amount of people are upset because they are affected by this in many ways and I can see that. Unfortunately these types of things are not usually up for vote, and in my opinion the last few choices for President for my country have been attempts to decide who is the "least worst" choice. Â Â Asmo *edit* (explained which post)

Hi Scrub, Looks great! I could definitely use more images! There's no such thing as too many so if anybody can help out in this department please do! @ Romolus As far as being "on hold", please let me know if you think I should wait for you to finish or if I can just get started at the same time you do your work. Thanks, Asmo

To all involved: Looks very nice! I look forward to trying them out. Asmo

Oh crap. That sucks! I added you to my MSN... you weren't online from what I could see! Did you use the GMT converter I gave you a link to? I hope you can make it tonight or later this week! Asmo

Hello everyone, I'm looking for help in beta testing a couple missions before I submit them for the MEC (mission editing competition). I have a SP and a Co-op that I could really use more feedback on. The SP can obviously be tested at any time, but the Co-op I want to test with as many people as possible at once, so we will need to set up a testing time. I can't give any details at this point for obvious reasons, but please contact me if you liked my other missions and/or want to help! Thanks in advance, Asmo P.S. My email doesn't work, so PM me or respond here please.

Hi Bonko, Thanks for the effort, too bad you didn't make it this time. Â We are planning on testing again 8 hours from this post. Â That's Midnight GMT-7 time. Â @ heatseeker I'll send you an IM soon. Â SP testing will commence shortly. Â Thanks! @ everyone laulau and Mastakilla will be there for the testing tonight so far, possibly Bonko, Kaliyuga and of course me. Â We need more people! Feel free to contact me, I will be online off and on all day. Â Also there will be more testing later this week. Â Â SP Testing will commence soon! Here's a screenshot from the MP testing with all important parts blocked out so there is still mission anonymity. Â (I'd show more cool shots if I could, but they show where the mission takes place) *edit* Pic removed because I was told it may still have been a spoiler *edit* Thanks to Mastakilla for testing and good feedback and Kaliyuga for hosting and testing for this first round! Asmo

Ok, I've got limited time but I'm in. Â I look forward to seeing this sucker textured and cruising around ingame! Â There are a lot of interesting ideas in here as to getting this to work. Â I'm ready to help push the limits of the engine as much as I can. And Scrub, that model looks amazing, great work man! Â Asmo

Ahhhhh, I still have no idea what you're talking about. *Asmo slides Avon an unmarked manilla envelope* @ everyone I still need voice actors and I could also use voice actresses! If you wish to help, please PM me! (I've been told that the SP mission won't make sense without voice acting to help give certain important info) Thanks! Asmo

@ Bonko Thanks! I do still need testing for both, yes. I'll PM you with details and a few questions. @ Avon No prob! What do you mean by graft? @ laulau Thanks, I do! I'll PM you with details and questions. @ everyone I still need testing for both! There is no such thing as too much beta testing. Thanks! Asmo

Hi, @ Avon Thanks! Â Â You've actually seen an early version of this one I think. Â Â I will send it to you w/ the explanation of changes soon. Â THanks! @ Munk Hi M8! Â The addons wouldn't be a problem, but it looks like you've got other things preventing it. Â Thanks for the interest though! Â @ ruff Hi there! Yes you can test the SP one, I'll send you a PM with details soon. Â (very busy lately, plus my Dad is in the hospital so I need to visit him a lot) @ everyone Because of the above reasons I may take a day or two to contact you with details and a d-load link, thank you for the interest and keep it coming! Â (especially for Co-Op now, don't be shy!) Â Thanks! Asmo

Cool, thanks to both of you! I will send you both some q's via PM so that I can get to know you better. @ everyone A Co-Op test may be played in 9-10 hours if we have enough people. Thanks! Asmo

Yeah, if it was me... I wouldn't care. Â I know certain people feel differently, but I don't. Â I make no money (yet) off of what I do for OFP and I think it's cool if people want to learn/use from what I do. Â I will ask you this Pathy: A. Â How sure are you that the contact method you are using is/was current? B. Â Does this addonmaker check these forums? Â If not, have you posted in forums he is likely to check? The point I'm trying to make is have you exhausted all efforts to contact him? Â If so then I say go for it and comply with any problems he may have at a later time. Asmo

Well, here's another viewpoint in this story, from a thread at OFPEC. Here are a few quotes from Noon416: And then he says: Now, after reading both points of view I tend to side with Noon on this one. Do those that were mad understand now? Law is a pain in the ass. The company just has to enforce the law or they will quickly die out in the U.S. Asmo

Well, that is the challenge... Â What I had in mind was asking for help and then selecting those that I trust. Â I've been reading the forums alot more than posting and feel I know a lot of the members and could make a decently informed decision. Also another factor is that all the mission designers I've ever seen have a certain "flair". Â So there's not much worry for me if someone try's to steal my mission or concepts, because usually there's a few key people out there that can back up the origins of such things. Â Another thing I was wondering is are the judges going to unpbo the mission and look at the designing? Â The trigger placement, sync techniques and such also give hints as to who the author is in my experience and I wanted to make sure you thought of it. Â Â The big thing is that the people that are beta testing currently for me have VERY limited time. Plus there are only up to 5 of us for Co-op testing and I want to try a full 12 at least once before submission. Thanks for the response, any suggestions now that I've clarified a bit? Â Asmo

Hello, I've read the Q & A, updated rules, and all the pages except for 2 and 3 and I didn't see this question yet... I would like to know how we are to request Beta testing for the mission editing competition. Â Since there is supposed to be anonymity I'm thinking public beta testing would be banned.... Â So is there a preferred place to ask for such help? Thanks, Asmo

Greetings Scrub! Â Very nice model you've got there, and I must say I'm interested in this project. Â However, time is very short for me lately. Â I will contact the rest of the Everon Cartel crew and see if they are interested in this too. Â I'll let you know. I may have missed it but have you posted the poly counts? Talk to you soon. *edit* I'll try to have a look at your O2 problem soon too, I've surely run into a fair share of things in my time. *edit* @ Romolus We may be able to do the texture application, lod's and the beginning .cpp if our help is needed and everyone agrees. Â At this point I'd say my involvement in this project hinges on whether or not it will be able to support transporting vehicles, so I'm glad to see your post! Â Asmo

Hi Cassie, Looking cool! Â We (The Everon Cartel) would be happy to attempt to help you as Kali said. Â PM one of us if you're interested. Asmo

Thank you very much Indy! Â It worked like a charm and I now have the joy of utilizing all of it. Â So far it works great but I do have a FPS hit, though I haven't messed with my settings to optimize yet. Once again, this rules and thank you very much Keg and feersum!!! Â Asmo

Hi Sui! If my services can be utilized again, let me know. I've now got my own equipment except for a mic, which my friend has 2 of and I can surely borrow one. Let me know what up. Asmo

Hi there Kegety's and feersum!  First I'd like to say that I love what you're doing here, as well as what you've done in the past for OFP and it's community.   Kegety's, I know your additions are always sorely needed, highly original and amazing in general!  I installed DxDLL and the "Reflections, trilinear filtering, sharpen user interface and handle printscreen key" functions are working great but I found that I had to completely disable the postprocessing or else the entire screen would double, the main part I could see would be a blurry ghost and the other part is expanded and moved to the far bottom right.  Here's a screenshot: http://home.earthlink.net/~asmodeus777/dxdll_bug.JPG I checked your readme and I believe my pc meets the needs, I'm pretty sure my graphics card supports pixel shader 1.1 or up.  Also I tried just disabling certain things that may cause that like "disable postprocessing for map" and that had no effect on the problem seen in the above screenshot.  My general specs are: Radeon 9200 SE 128 MB, set to 4 x AGP (I know, it should be at 8, but it's not possible, long story)  AMD Thoroughbred 2200+ ABIT AT7 Motherboard Philips Acoustic Edge Soundcard ( ) 512 MB DDR Ram (forgot what speed) The reflections run very well in game except for a small blue line along the waterline, usually at high angles.  I haven't messed with the settings on reflections enough to see if I can fix that but I thought I'd mention it just in case. (actually you can see what I'm talking about in nbw6.jpg) Also, here's some pics I took while having fun with this: http://home.earthlink.net/~asmodeus777/nbw1.jpg http://home.earthlink.net/~asmodeus777/nbw2.jpg http://home.earthlink.net/~asmodeus777/nbw5.jpg http://home.earthlink.net/~asmodeus777/nbw6.jpg I just love seeing the submarine or Col Klink's boat go underwater and seeing the reflection.  Not to mention all the stuff I haven't sunk or crashed or driven around in yet!   Thanks to both of you for bringing a new experience to the community and for revitalizing the graphics in OFP!  Asmo

Hi Munk! I think you need <h4> in between the plan and objectives, like this: <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE"><! --- -----------------------------> <! --- Missions plan         > <! --- -----------------------------> <h4></h4> <p><a name="plan"></a> Today we are going to destroy Rebel <a href="marker:AAA">AAA</a>. <br> <br> It is vital that we destroy all <a href="marker:AAA_1">AAA</a> in the area for our future efforts in the area.  One of our blackhawks was also shot down in the area, it has already been cleaned up, there were no survivors. </p> <hr> <h4></h4> <p><a name = "OBJ_1"></a>Infiltrate the <a href="marker:LZ">AO</a>. </p> <hr> <h4></h4> <p><a name = "OBJ_2"></a>Destroy <a href="marker:AAA">AAA</a>. </p> <hr> <h4></h4> <p><a name = "OBJ_3"></a>Destroy 2nd <a href="marker:AAA_1">AAA</a>. </p> <hr> <h4></h4> <p><a name = "OBJ_4"></a><a href="marker:RZ">Extract</a> via Blackhawk. </p> <hr> <! --- End of "Plan" section> Hope that helps!  If not, try the <hr> (horizontal rule I think).  *edit* Whoops, you have the hr, nevermind about that!
