Hey KaRRiLion, i played a round of rts3 last night and had a kick ass time. When the sun set i had an idea of another object u could add to the construction jeep, or attach one to the 4 corners of each building (optional of course), which is Street Laps. I hate dying, then feeling my way around our base looking for the ammo box to get some NVG's. I think players could have the option of turing the lights on and off at the Command HQ, or run up to the individual pole and select "Lights: Off/On" also, how bout runway lights, if u find a nice flat area to take ur planes off from, u could lay runway lights down just like u can with landmines. Maybe have the option of setting the color of the lights. Just something i thought of while stumbling to find the ammo crate last night while playing. ooooo, just thought of another, how bout Flare trip-wires! when an enemy enters within so close of it, it will shoot up multiple flares to warn people at night. Ill go back to playing RTS3 and thinking of more things to add that would help improve game play. u da man kar

If youve ever seen tracers in real life (which is the coolest thing in the world to see when 20 of your fellow soldiers switch to burst and pop um away at 2 in the morning) you notice that OFP's tracers are so WEAK. Looks like laser tag to me instead of actual rounds zinging across the sky. So i wanted to thicken the tracer texture to where u can actuall see it flying at you even at high noon. I found the texture, or what ever it is, and i tried to edit it by adding more mass to it, then packing it back up and giving it a shot. It was a no go. Im not to enclined with these editing tools, but i was wondering if someone that was could take the time to check it out and see what they can do with it. Ill keep trying, but i lack experience to do this kind of thing, fast.

^ bump ^ one last time.

http://www.opflashpoint.org/mappingtools.php use the PBO Decrypter tool to open the Data.pbo and the texView to view what ive found so far. Im not sure how to take a screen shot of my desktop to show u the texture im seeing. You'll see a file call: tracer.paa I opened the file with the TexView program if you zoom in about 3-4 times u can see what im talking about when im talking about the tracers "texture". I just can figure out how to edit this file and pack it back up and give it a whirl. You can really see the line that i would assume is the texture that shoots out of the tip of the gun and streams across the sky. If anyone could continue on from here and figure out how to edit that file (b.c im running out of HD space and cant afford to unpack anything more) it may not be anything, but i think its a great start and where getting closer to edit the almighty tracer. Thnx yall

i understand that, but look at how u can barley see the dang thing even at mid night! I mean, when i first saw tracers in real life, they were like THICK laser beams snapping threw the air, it was amazing. The tracers in OFP just put me to sleep. Â I dont care bout the color. Â Im talking about the thickness of the entire tracer itself. I know theres gotta be some way. maybe later today ill unpack that file and show u the thing i was talking about. gotta get back to work. Â lunch time over. PS where can i edit those numbers that u showed me there? maybe it is thickness.

i get this message just b4 the host launches the game. Ive deleted every addon i can see ive downloaded, thinking that one of the files has currupted the mp connection, but it still continues. Plz help, i have no clue why it does this. I can connect to the servers, its just 2 mins into sitting in the lobby waiting for the host to click play i get a "Session Lost" message. Also, i tried hosting, and everyone got disconnected. Plz help.

Yes im using game spy, no i dont have a firewall, and no im not using a router. It cant be a bandwidth issue because i can run RTCW with 64 people in one game and not have connection problems. Ill have my new computer here in a couple of days, then ill buy resistance and i wont have to worry bout this crap. But if you can fix it before then, then ill still listen

-Bradley Linebacker- This link contains information on the Linebacker and its weapon load and other stuff. Â I dont think this vehicle would be a problem to make, just replace the TOW on the M2A2 and and Stingers then put desert camo on the sucker and you basically got it. -Avenger- This one may be a slight bit more difficult. Â Its basically a Humvee with a rotating stinger launcher on the back. The reason Im requesting these praticular vehicles is because im currently training to drive, operate, and gun the Bradley Linebacker here in Fort Bliss TX. Â I was hoping that these addons would be near completion by the time i get home (Sept. 28th). Â You can email them to me at racer51_n2k@yahoo.com whenever you get them finished. Thnx to whoever, and peace out. -PV2- Patak (Cam51), from Fort Bliss, TX

It would be great to have 2 or more modes of victory. Maybe make 1 RTS map for all the gun ho's and 1 a little bit more advanced for experienced players and those who do some more planning. Maybe something like: Assassinate- Kill the other teams "leader" (a computer controled civilian) and that team is defeated. *1 down side to this is people may just defend the guy so much that it would be 1 big stalemate. Or they would hide the dude in the forest or somthing. Its just an idea remember . *cant think of any other modes of victory right now. Maybe someone else has a good idea on a different mode of vicotry. Just something to spice up the Maps Replay value and gameplay.

Just a little idea... How bout adding the Resistance, that way you can have 3 teams on the island instead of 2. (if you added the resistance) How bout a diplomatic stance, ie: Friendly, Enemy, Neutral (if you added the diplomatic idea) you could also have cargo trucks that could drive back and forth between allied designated buildings to trade and collect more money for you team. Like make a certain building a Trading Post or a Supply Depot or something like that, and that building would make cargo trucks to drive back and forth between you allies Supply Depot and yours. Just some goofy ideas ive been thinking up here since i wont be home for another month. Maps sound great, hope i like them as much as you all say you do. peace

I assume ou are asking me Major Fubar, and ill try to give as much technical information as possible (we dont get to use the computers all that much). Also, im training in being a BSFV (bradley stinger fighting vehicle) crewmember also. Which basically consist of a regular M2A2 bradley with 3 soldiers with stinger lauchers that jump out the back of the bradley. What ever you need help with ill gladdly provide you with some information (nothing classified though ) g2g peace
