Ok... Thanks for the tip DBR_ONIX. Edit: No need for help anymore. Figured it out myself.

So Im modifying and existing addon for my own use and needed to change the PBO name so it would be compatible with the original addon. But then I need to change the texture paths to match the PBO name right? Then I did that in O2 and I am 100% the path is correct one but textures wont show up ingame. To be more precise some of them do, some of them dont. Some textures only show up in 3rd person view and some in 1st person view. No errors and I didnt do nothing more than change the texture paths. What went wrong?

Well Black Eagle has VERY heavily sloped armor on its turret + the new generation ERA that is said to be effective against DU rounds. That is ofcourse speculation and its not yet decided wether the Black Eagle will come with 125mm gun or 152mm gun. So a Black Eagle with 152mm gun and latest Tungsten ammo will penetrate the Abramses front armor but its not so sure if Abrams could penetrate Black Eagles front armor because of the ERA and sloped armor. I am though fairly sure that Abrams has better electronics and similar shit but if they would duel in generic russian or european terrain the enganment ranges would be something like 300 meters. At that range even T-55 with modern ammo could penetrate any modern tanks side armor. Ofcourse they would not DUEL in realistic tank battle so that is quite irrelevant. As you said it basically comes down on who spots who first. Or whos air cover will blow who first. Edit: Im VERY drunken so dont complain about typos or other "errors" please.

Great pics Aimpoint! I was just about to make pics with the same kinda setting as you but they brobably would not have been so good. Great work I must say.

Well I would have updated the dam Black Eagle for personal use myself if I could decrypt the config. Conserning how Black Eagle would fare against Abrams wouldnt? Black Eagle would whoop its ass? Didnt they fix most of the broblems that russian tanks used to have like the blow out panels, separated ammo from the crew and the round turret that was prone to blow off completely. T-90 would be quite equal with Abrams but T-80UM2 Black Eagle has bigger main gun, waayyy heavier armor and all the little tweaks I mentioned earlier than T-90.

Its nice but it has armor values and firepower of an WW2 era T-26. It has absolutely no value in any mission with anything but original BIS tanks wich is so dam shame because model and textures are 1 grade work.

US Civil War Mod ver.1.0 Beta Released
bucket man replied to Triglav's topic in ADDONS & MODS: COMPLETE
WTF!?!?! Looking at your posts I can only wonder how much LSD you guys do? I mean having followed this conversation I, at first thought I was getting it, then I guestioned myself if I had missed some important point and now Im completely lost. -
Yeah I knew SA and Israel had close ties. Wasnt there rumors of some Israeli and South-African nuclear testing near african coasts? To Ironsight: Any news about the iranian infantry you was working on? They looked quite nice in the one screenshot you released.
-
Thats more than I expected. Few questions though. Isnt Egypt also operating AH-64D Apache Longbow? Isnt the G5 South African artillery piece? I had no idea IDF had those. One thing I especially love is the COC compatible artillery. Most dissapointing thing about OFrP was that their mortars were basically eye candy. Im glad LoBo isnt doing the same mistake. Are the jordanians going to be released in addon pack 4 or some smaller jordanian stuff only, pack? Btw I dont think Egypt still issues its soldiers with Tokarevs? Its like what 70 years old? I read that Egyp is building M9 Berettas under license so it might be more accurate pistol to use for egyptians that Tokarev.
-
Sounds very nice! I love the way your UZI looks. Not quite as stupid as the old version where the hands were in wrong places. Could you post a unit list of new stuff to come in LoBo pack 3? Better yet fill out the blanks in my list Egypt: Modernized MiG-21BIS F-16C T-34 SA-2 Guideline Jordan: Urutu APC was it? Scorpion IFV M113 APC Regular army units Special forces F-16? IDF: M3 Halftrack Sherman in various versions UZI F-4E Land Rovers Centurion maybe?
-
Have to say I "love" the new system. Nothing so great as having two Pak 36's empty on a KV1 without any effect. Then finally one of the Paks got a hit to the side armor and I could see flames and lots of smoke... "Yeah finally DIE BASTARDS!" only to see the turret still turning. Needles to say I didnt live long after that.
-
I love this mod! One thing that made me decide that this is TEH BEST WW2 MOD EVER! is the damage model. No more the annoying papertankgrumble shit from other mods. Only thing that is somewhat wierd is the explosions. They are very small and for example a hand grenade explosion sends shrapnel flying. The wierd thing here is that first comes the explosion and 2-4 seconds later the shrapnel appears. It looks quite wierd.

RHS releases: GRU, SOBR, RFMI, GAZ66, Weapon Pack
bucket man replied to raedor's topic in ADDONS & MODS: COMPLETE
Arent? motorized infantry kinda like shock troops of russian army? They are the spear tip of any large scale assault. Aside from that they do duties like regular US infantry. The difference being that motorized infantry is... well motorized and move with IFV's, APC's and trucks all the time. GRU perform sabotage, intelligence and small scale raids behind enemy lines. SOBR is supposed to put down bossible rebellions in army bases and in chechenia they are quite often used in police duties. Someone who knows more about the subject can correct my mistakes, which I am sure there are quite alot. -
Very nice and simple screen you have there sv5000. I dont know why I like but it just has something...

Oh sorry about that Bradley thingie Thunderbird, I was fooled by the changes list on the first page where it says the Bradley is the A2 version. -
FlashFx Units Replacement pack 5.0!
bucket man replied to Thunderbird's topic in ADDONS & MODS: COMPLETE
May I ask why you use the M2A2 Bradley if this mod is aiming at realistic 1985 vintage equipment? Theres M2A1 Bradley in the same pack as the A2 variant. Other than that a very nicely done mod that brings new life into OFP. -
Nice pics Fork122 but I have small hint for you. When using camera.sqs press L and the crosshair will dissapear.

Looking very nice indeed but I have one wish! Thats the major thing I would like you pay very great focus on it and thats: FPS Sure you can make very realistic looking jungles in OFP but is it really FUN to play with 15 fps? Same goes for the units. No point in making extra detailed textures&models when all it causes is extreme fps drop. I want to be able to make missions with these units not just use them for combat photography. Old NP2 units are perfect. Not so good looking as newer units but for christ sakes when I can place 5 full squads of them on the map and still play unlike with most newer addons, Im happy. If you absolutely want to make thick jungle with lots of undergrowth then make the islands small. Not larger than Everon or Malden because, lets face it, does anybody REALLY need the area sized of Tonal for ONE mission? Is there really anything so good about large maps that its worth the awfull fps drop? Now about other more minor wishes. NVA T-54, the tank that first crashed through the gates in Saigon. RHS T-55 is nice and they have let other mod teams to use them. Other thing conserning NVA armor is the T-34. The one NVA had was with 85mm gun. Its waaayyyy different that the one with 76mm gun. And ofcourse M-48 Patton would be nice as it was a major US tank in that war. Also some of the aircraft is somewhat wierd. I dont think the NVA ever used Il-28 Beagle in that war? Did they even have those? Other wierd choise is the MiG-19 Farmer. Sure NVA had them but still is it worth the trouble to make on just to represent a plane that was quite rare in the war? I think NVA mainly flew MiG-21 Fishbed and MiG-17 Fresco. Also F-86 Sabre wasnt used by USAF in Vietnam. All they had was F-100 Super Sabres. Not sure though if South-Vietnam used them. Now my last wish would be: water buffalo! You know the big black animal with huge horns that curve downwards? They are brobably the most famous animals of the Vietnam war and were used by locals ALOT in farming work. Now that my wish list is done I would like to wish you good luck in your project that seems to be doing great atleast for now.

Getting the camera to follow a missile
bucket man posted a topic in OFP : MISSION EDITING & SCRIPTING
So is it bossible to get the camera to follow missiles fired from planes or helicopters or other weapons? I know its bossible to get them to follow the unit that fires it. -

I love playing Urban Assault and choose the west side. Then get the sniper and pwn everyone! Its great fun to snipe on that map. In my opinion UA is the best map in AA ever. Others are Bridge SE, CSAR and Pipeline.
