    addons required:

    filming pack

    bas blackhawks/pavehawks

    bas russian opfor vehicles

    hyk infantry jam lsr

    mapfact barracks

    pc prison

    generic opfor

    editor update

    First mission you get the story told to you in a cutscene, the mission starts with you landing at the point and getting out, some americans get evacuated and you're dropped there to find out why with your cameraman.  you soon run into trouble because they saw your chopper coming, now you gotta fight.

    mission two your camped near a village and enjoying your rest after last nights arrival.  still in the field so you wrote up the mission plan in the notes section till you get new briefing pads.  but you still got a mission to complete.  a chopper just landed in the village and they're questioning the civillians.  no way you can back away from this fight, its only one chopper.  we'll just catch the atrocity on film, sabotage the chopppre and make it home, right?

    mission three.  finally some new clothes.  the people from that village you helped are left with only two survivors and one knows alot about whats going on here.  why the russians are here.  what they're asking about.  why everyone is terrified.  its time we go rescue his people from an abandoned jail, where everything finally makes sense, and who this guy really is, and why they're looking for him. we're still left with alot of questions though...

    and the campaign ends with to be continued at mission three.

    All the "problems" that you guys mention are only temporary.  You been in the community as long as I have and you know it just gets better.  we're about to get tortured captives, just when you thought we had it all, generic opfor just came out the other day, what's next?  We still haven't done mecha, or even a futuristic city island.  Theres lots of ideas just find out what you like or what attracts you and do the same thing, jump on the bandwagon.  Too original can be a bad thing.  Another thing, do your research.  Find out why a war must be fought, come with a good story and make more than one mission.  That last sentence will help you the most.  I think its beautiful that you're all struggling to make good missions.

    Well, almost. I need beta testers. In the power trilogy we explore the saga of a squad of modern day green berets in a foreign country asssisting the safety of american interests abroad, in a nation undergoing conflict in the war on terror.  If you would like to beta test the power trilogy please let me know.

    Thanks for considering the very important targets idea newiy.  I just want to thank you again.  This couldn't have arrived at a better time, and this addon has made it into mission three of my campaign.   Of course I'm only at mission three but i'm sure theres more generic opfor missions to come.

    Okay I've changed up what I'm working on.   By the way I just wanted to see who in the ofp community does anything for the ofp community.  I'm currently working on a mission series about a Special Forces unit enforcing the laws of the Geneva Convention behind enemy lines entitled "Power".  I'm currently on mission three.  I figured out, like today, that once you understand the Geneva Convention laws, you can make up a war with ease, and if you can edit missions you'll never run out of ideas.  I urge you all to go to yahoo and look up geneva convention and read the rules to what you can and can't do during war or conflict.  It'll help you greater understand why countries like the USA go to war.

    We know the problem but do we really have to start a thread on the solution?  When you're onto something stick at it.  Stick to it.  There's always that one thing that makes you get up and completely forget about your project and search for another idea.  That means you're idea sux.  I for once have finally found, in all my years of ofp, have finally found a perfect idea to base missions around.  THE GENEVA CONVENTION.  The series is called power and once its done I recommend you all get it because you need power, you want power, bowery sounds like power, and war is fought over power.  BAM! Hit you in the head with the answer.

    Cutscenes. I try to make my scripting real time to avoid all the camera garbage that I don't feel like learning. On occassion ill do that right out of the box camera scripting. I just make all the talking and all that real time. There is some kind of block in my mind I like to call "style" that says don't do cutscenes, make all your dialog with npc's n stuff real time.

    Sorry to double post.  I'm on mission three of my campaign, the jail rescue.  I was just hoping that this captive pack will have captives for all three sides.  If it does I'll wait.  Where's the excitement?  Is it on the special forces forum?  By the time my campaign is finished I can always go back and put some in.  I'm only on mission three. It's easier to wait when there's some excitement going on in the thread. Then you got Gigan and Hyuakushiki and them's crew who just keep on working covertly whether the excitement has died or not.

    What would be the military term for a rogue unit or a rogue platoon?  Like lets say everyone under Gubas command only followed Guba and Guba didn't follow Russia anymore so therefore he'd have his own army, what would be the term for a rogue unit?  Just rogue platoon if it were a platoon? Oh, and Hellfish we're talking Russia. I know Russia's broken up now but lets say the only Russia you can find. Plus the name for a rogue platoon.

    I'd like to see an addon called "kingpins", where its nothing but terrorist group leaders.  High priority targets.  Whatever.

    I gotta catch up on my B movies and see what kinda missions I can come up with. Namely my Chuck Norris movies. The timeless classics they are.

    The U.S. Government supports causes that allow for adults to be treated with the same respect as children.  Shouldn't I have earned the respect to not be questioned on my personal life, over the freedom not to answer when questioned.  Why don't mental institutions read miranda rights as well?  Reality is not that I am schizophrenic, reality is that schizophrenic is what would suit me if I were afraid of revealing what it is I'm really laughing at.  The government is looking out for me by paying me to take pills, yet at the same time gambling with my soul.  Who knows what long term effects these pills have.  I'd rather be offered a placebo but I know this is not a placebo from the chest pains I receive, and all for what?  At least I get paid.  I make more money being crazy then I do as a social outcast who isn't talked about or mentioned worthy for even the most minute and moral things such as kindness and honesty and trustfullness.  That should be what gets me a job.  Not whether or not I can look someone in the eye.  I guess I'll keep on writing.  I have no clue what God has in store for me though, and i get pissed when people ask me what my role in life is.  That just makes me feel like they're blocking me out.  If they really wanted to help, they'd mention a job that I could work at that pays what I'm looking for.  I guess I haven't figured out what I want to do yet.  I know what I want to do.  I want to sit and make ofp missions and make people happy, is that so crazy?  Maybe I could do that and make music, and rap, and all the things I like.  Why have a corporate job.  I'm thinking of starting my own label.  I'm on track.  Hopefully God willing some day I'll be off these damn pillls and learn to talk to God instead of freaking out.  Just be myself basically. I just hate how society decides who to accept and who not to accept. Accept me as I am. Don't even have to accept me. Just go on about your business. This is where I'm put though, and this is where I'm at. I can't move from out the basket onto the concreate or the egg might break.

    Sometimes people have a certain conflict in mind.

    Some start with the addons.

    Lets start with the addons.

    Your favorite addons are usually the ones that you make a mission based on or around.

    You want to play with that addon.

    So you say i got this addon, now what island goes with it?

    You look through your island options.

    Personally I stay away from middle east missions because for one I know how they operate, from a window of like a third or second story window and not many addons can get you a guy up in a building window to shoot down at you or catch you by surprise based on the buildings out there. The closest would be afghanistan islands buildings. They got some second story space opening to them to where someone could fire at you if you put in this setunitpos "up" so that they don't duck down at all or lay down which they do by nature. Lizardia is coming though and more. Next you get your enemy. You started with your good guy, your island, now your enemy. Now you need to set it up so these guys will go at it. That's the story, or the plot. You write that up in a briefing someone else made, just fill in the info. Then you start making the guys playable who's playable and setting up the waypoints. Dictating the action. Thats your basic mission. Next.

    mask = city terrorist

    no mask = remote location terrorist or very rich pop out on occassion terrorist

    or

    mask = if someone might recognize their face

    no mask = if nobody really would recognize them anyhow

    and you know how to match camo up.

    most masked terrorists are religious because they appear daily somewhere like a mosque or something but if you are a full time terrorist you don't wear a mask.

    That'd be dope to have a mission where you recon a mosque to see who goes in and out, then when you see them coming out in terrorist gear you follow them and bust em.  It wouldn't happen like that in real life though.  They'd change at home and move out, or at a safehouse.

    Nogova has churches but they're not muslim, so you'd see more of the unmasked rich boy terrorist on the everon islands.

    Mungari you'd see the masked terrorist for its city feel. Chechnya masked terrorists. Any packed area, masked terrorists. Barely any houses, unmasked.
