Lets hope resistence expansion caters for your requests

Also try the editing center ... tutorials > unofficial command reference : http://www.ofpeditingcenter.com

I think the benchmarks *are* pretty accurate allround. I myself have a benchmark score of 1453, and looking at your system (very fast) 3900+ is a good score. OFP makes the setting accordingly. What you could try is set a player in the mission editor, and place in the initialisation line of the unit : setviewdistance 4000 and then press preview and enjoy the vista's

good point on the smoke at the barrel. It indeed obscures vision. But I must say I also like it a bit, makes it a surprise if you hit the hostile bugger or not. Haven't tried the helicopters yet....

Try opflashpoint.org, I believe they had a map (=mission) of Saving private ryan. There is also another site with a campaign in the works, over here : http://ofpcinematic.operation-flashpoint.de/

I see what is meant....and that would be unfair....well it could be overcome in MP by making the script check the lowest benchmark in the game and set it according to that computer.... In SP it wouldn't be much of a problem I think ?

Personally I noticed a great improvement from upgrading from 128MB to 256MB

Well, correct me if I am wrong, But is the the benchmark not related to the power of the computer ? So basically anyone with benchmark of say > 1500 will be able to have an equal amount of viewdistance ?

I think it is the db+50 I believe the max is db+40 Bloodmixer

I think mission creators can do their part too, by indeed using the ?(benchmark > 1400):setviewdistance 1200 command for example. It would be nice to know what distances work best with what benchmarks. My comp has benchmark 1453 and viewdistance 1200 works good (if not too much is going on ofcourse, no D-day missions heh Maybe other people could send their best working benchmark vs viewdistance so we could have a table for mission creators ? Personally I feel the viewdistance command is used rarely :/

What can happen is when your in a winning position , 5 against 1 in a MP-battle, and all your guys are picked off one by one, and you simply can't figure out where the fire is coming from... ...happened this morning

Sorry if I go off-topic here, can't delete my post I noticed :/ , but here goes... Maybe it is a good idea if BIS gets in contact with Satchel for the Resistence expansion ? I mean most people agree satchels sounds are superior (apart from firing sounds) to the original OFP sounds....just an idea, or simply a rework of OFP sounds in the expansion Â

I like the new physics, try adding a helicopter with complete fuel & ammo and one without any ammo and fuel, and see the difference. The one packed full with ammo and fuel blow up even nearby bmp's and the like. However I still hope that BIS will 'fix' the way Helicopters / tanks / jeeps can fly 300m up in the air when blown up. It should not be too hard to make them fall to the ground when they are dammaged to 100%, like apples fall from a tree. I never seen real war footage that had tanks flying 300m in the air. No blast does that , apart from nukes prolly

I voted no, BIS has done far more than any other company I know. How many companies do you know that actually *explain* why they do something. They don't have to. That already shows, and not only on this occassion, that they are serious towards the community. Indeed they spend years writing the engine and now it is a success, they want to take care of it, the best they can, whether we agree or not. I was a fan of Severance before OFP, and well, look what happened to that community. It died out, even though it was a great game. It was so because there was zero support, even though they released the editor. Perhaps the sales went bad, but even then, there is only one site left dedicated to the severance editor, and , well it isn't really flourishing :/ Part of it could have been because there was no way to communicate with the developers.

It will not be released *now*. So, basically it *could* be released at a later date I truly hope so

It's good and it's bad news, and responses in this thread show it. I think the BAD thing is, is that the official news (and in an interview) was that Oxygen WOULD be released to public and now....it isn't. I am still glad some MODs are going to get it though, but it is a bit of a setback for me as I, and as some others I presume wanted to give a spin to Oxygen. Therefore I hope if someone of CM/BIS reads this, will seriously reconsider to release Oxygen for download under an UCLA, like GMax. ...Bloodmixer

Perhaps the world builder tool (by OFP internals) will be out faster than oxygen now... http://ofpinternals.megaforums.ru/ and the new patch ofcourse, before 6th of March

Make sure it is night-time when lighting streetlamps, otherwise it won't work, Second, if you got the streetlamp.pbo add-on use : this inflame true in the init field... Hope that does the trick for you Blood

sometimes scripts need to be executed a few seconds after the game have started, maybe this is the case with you... try a small wait in the script and see if it works ! (unfortunately I can't test MP problems :/ ) greetings Bloodmixer

You could check the ammo/weapon of the corpse continiously and when ammo/weapon is dropping....*boom*

Sometimes it is possible (when scouting for new mission areas) to get actually lost and find myself thinking where the heck am I ? Never had a game where I could get lost and had to take out the map. Allthough I find it hard to get lost on Kogulyev with that one big mountain in the middle....

Why don't you use the existing command this setcaptive true ? That makes the unit non-hostile in the eyes of enemy AI. Just a suggestion But I do agree 'setside' and 'take clothes' opens up new possibilities. Would be cool to swap cloth/face textures in-game !

I voted for everon, it has a lot of different types of terrain, such as the big hills SE of Everon. Also the castle and stuff make it cool. THere is always something to explore there. But I like malden with its fjords and little islands (and before mentioned airport)
