Cumboy

There seem too many people who want to cause trouble with the use of my infamy....both on OFP IRC channels and multiplayer (gamespy, servers)...by using my 'Cumboy' nick.. Anyone doing such things are all imposters...they must realise that there can be only one true Cumboy...and that is me..so pay no attention to anyone using my nick on IRC and multiplayer causing trouble...cause it isn't me I am actually a very good CTF player who plays under a different nick now....

Yes that was me.... It was used in my 'Hunter-Killer' mission........ Oh and you use the 'distance' command in the trigger condition line to initiate the strike....... i.e plane1 distance target1 < 500 This works well for a mulitple drop at the usual alititude that the AI flies at...

What sort of MGs? The M2 50 cal range? or the personal examples (M60, PK) ?

Hi, I hope everyone who downloaded my mission 'Hunter-Killer' thought it was ok.... However it is on to new things, I'm itching to start a new mission and I was just wondering if there was anything anyone particularly wants to see done in a mission, whether it has never been done or only glanced upon several times. I would appreciate any feedback from anyone with useful input as I feel a bit of market research never hurt anyone! Thanks all!

Hi all, I know everyone hates me....and I've given up trying to hide....however I still think I have the ability to create half decent aviation OFP missions (which are a rarity) so I'm still at it..... I hope you all enjoy this one....quite an original concept... 'Hunter-Killer' puts you flying a OH-58D Kiowa Warrior from the 3rd/17th Air Cavalry on armed reconnaissance flights scouting, designating artillery and providing light fire support throughout the war torn island of Everon - Uses a custom designed script for artillery fire missions - Plenty of cutscenes for those cinematic buffs out there - Above all, original concept not yet performed in any official release Any and all comments are welcome.....either here or at [email protected] Download from here... http://www.sphosting.com/cumboy/Missions/ BTW thanks to Placebo for the tip on sphosting...i just didnt think of that for some reason... Oh can everyone say what other aviation missions they like? mi24? mi17? I have some good ideas but I gotta remember to give the people what they want....

The SU25 mission? That was great! Can't understand why it received a 2...no wait I know why....most of the reviewers are biased towards a certain type of mission and don't often put a lot of effort into their reviews (some obviously don't even warrant correct spelling )

Ok........3 Cumboy missions can be downloaded here... (Link being updated) and 1 Cumboy addon here..... http://www.sphosting.com/cumboy/Addons/ More will be uploaded soon...

?

Yeah what I'll do is upload my missions and addons to my url.....I'll post the link soon

The 'BAT21/Behind Enemy Lines' idea is definitely going to be done by me, however not until I have the 'Resistance' addon which shouldn't be too long. I would just like the added map size and of course the pistols. It will just make for a much better mission experience...trust me..

I'll help out also email is [email protected] Would you also be interested in helping out with voice acting in one of my missions?

I had this idea before, but I found it impossible to have the AI track the enemy with the chopper light. (not even an idea how to do it...)<span id='postcolor'> Great idea.... Yeah actually the light you see helos use in OFP is actually the landing light which is fixed and can't be slewed (like you see in police helos).... The only way to track something is through the helos flightpath.... Still a top idea...I'll look into that one..

Hehe, Funnily enough Shadow, a mission I had going while I was doing 'Hunter-Killer' was 'Strike Swiftly 2' (from the original Cumboy mission 'Strike Swiftly'....Behind enemy lines conducting reconnassaince and patrols over several days.... This will hopefully be released soon..... However I think there is a black-op mission overload in OFP....this however will be far from the norm and as I am Cumboy you all know this will be true...

I have finished my script for a hot LZ landing.... If anyone wants it email me....

Basically most of the mission authors out there are crap. Some missions are designed with silly little objectives and very little added to assist the player. This basically comes from a lack of effort/ability. Either they don't know how to edit and test properly or they are so niave as to think 'If I can do it (as they designed it), they can do it'. Many editors have really just got to pull their heads in and put in more work so the rest of us won't have to waste time on their half-assed attempts.

Just use the "setdammage" command... i.e (in the init line) this setdammage 1 The tank or whatever will blow up on initialisation... or you can use the health/armour bar. Just set it to zero.

I am also going to release a 1.2 version with the swearing taken out (I don't think everyone liked it) and adding custom voices....

Thanks avonlady To receive credit from a OFP celeb like you is nice... I have voiced my objections to Mike_Beil concerning the CHQ review. I think he ordered it fixed, though little was changed. The reviewer (Forsaken) I think lacks the ability to satisfy his position. He doesn't seem able to construct an English sentence properly and concentrated more upon who I was than the actual quality of the mission. His obvious bias towards certain mission types also greatly affected the review and left the whole result under-cutting what I think is one of the best OFP missions yet. I think he was just out to pick problems in it from the start once he heard it had been written by me. I wish people would embrace the potential of OFP instead of just giving high marks to hour-long cutscenes and adding to the already flooded 'Spec-ops' missions market.

Yes we all know this, I in fact have a CPL helicopter licence (though I fly fixed-wing for a living)... I suggest not to worry about it too much. With the depth that OFP has I don't really think we need to worry about everything being authentic as possible. I'll look into it. Myabe I can come up with a script (I always do)

Yes the only thing you can do to prevent this is what Neo said. If an AI pilot approaches a LZ at normal speed (250) they pull up and slow by converting their speed into altitude. The only way to prevent this would be to alter the AI, or to make them approach at a slower speed (limited).. As Cumboy, this is my diagnosis..

I think that link works...

What is your email Beowulf? I'll send a personally autographed copy to you You can also get it at http://www.opflashpoint.org/maps.php?a=dl&v=469

Sorry drkhrt532, I was just kidding about the 'magic' thing. I have mailed a response to your problem. Oh and what you are saying Dinger is really the hard way of doing things

Oh what does eveyone think of the cutscenes/outro.....any other features that haven't been mentioned. Just like to know what people like...
