I just saw that video for the first time... I can't believe it! Talk about freakin' blatant! Mw, this an excellent thread - damn our community is good. Nice to know BIS have got their big mailed fists watching over the excellent addons everyone churns out! Also good to know the VBS flattens whatever crappy setup they've got going. And the old guy played Guba in the original. If I was in the Mapfact Team, or Agent Smith - I'd be baying for blood!

Found something funny - go to the link in the first page, then sample sounds - check out the sound of the 6G30 GL - sounds like a firecracker taking off!

Looks good! But, like you said, needs work. Once the blinking is down to an acceptable rate, it'll be excellent. Until then, I'd say John's is quite firmly the residence of screenshot takers.

Just wondering... is anyone still working on ECP, and if so, what areas? Being my fave mod, I was just hoping it hadn't run its race just yet.

Nice of you, mate.

Yeah, I'm a big fan of RHS' sounds (except for the PK, but moot point) - nice, loud and authentic, from what I've heard of Ruskie weapons. I'm gonna change the M16/M4 to the AA one, but I'm having trouble finding an authentic SAW sound. It's like a higher-pitched M4 (as you'd expect, firing same ammo). Might modify the sound itself. Satchel was my first and fave sound pack - revolutionary.

There are plenty - but they are just variants on the popgun theme, sadly - it seems that those America's Army sounds are pretty good (any other opinions?). Thanks for the link, and all the responses guys.

Ah, fear that gives men wings! Wonderful games, those. mirrorS arE morE fuN thaN televisioN

There was nothing quite as beautiful as seeing Guba parachuting into the sea north of Kolgujev without a lifejacket - try swimming in that shoddy uniform, you bugger!

I think the necessary changes needed in John's effects are simply more similar cloud shapes, and perhaps ones that are a little less detailed. Does anyone else think it annoying during gameplay when extremely detailed clouds (instead of wisps of smoke) come out of the barrel? I say keep John's optional - putting it in FFUR would turn me off.

Thanks Plaintiff one - made my day. All I have to do now is put flags coming out of the guns with "BANG" on 'em.

The screenshots with John's effects are good - perfect if that's all you're after. However, in gameplay I find it distracting - especially when a minature cumulonimbus cloud comes out of the barrel of your rifle.

I'll second that, eh. And the M16 with Resistance sounds... well, anything other than what you'd expect an M16 to sound like. Sounds like a flat "plaow." I've watched a lot of movies, but you can't trust those, since they all sound different. If anyone has a few good videos with sound (or the sounds themselves), I'd be grateful for 'em.

Hey mate - may I suggest Mapfact's Baracken for your military bases? Damn, I love that addon, just makes everything look so much better. And please, could you use the Mapfact fences to fence your bases (they're included in the Baracken pack, with nice wire on top)? Cheers, 2LT McDonald.

I like it - but it doesn't seem to be that much of an improvement flicker wise. It still sticks out like a sore thumb with a neon sign dayglo-taped to it.

Thanks for honouring my request, mate - good to see there's an island maker out there who will do such a thing. Now this island shares my "Fave Island" spot along with Mapfact Nogova.

Hornet85 - damn good idea.

Hmm, this is a problem. You see, the original soldiers don't come with the option to change the patch on the shoulder (the unit patch would be on the other arm anyway, the US flag would remain, as in real life). You would have to open the original data.pbo, and edit the arm textures by hand - not a simple task.

1st question - what addon are you using?

1st Infantry Division soldiers are airlifted through the rain to their FUP. An electrical fault with the YakB 12.7mm machine gun on their Hind has forced the aircrew to land in a forest to attempt repairs. US Special Forces in the exclusive "All Black" BDUs and NBC gear clear the outlying buildings of a suspected Russian weapons depot. A civilian found near the airstrip is apprehended. A: BMI, HC[PARA], Mapfact, Laser, Mr. Yoda, SJB, NUT, BAS, Berghoff (will the list never end?), Llaumax, ORCS. Wilco - funniest pic I've seen in ages.

I bet Jackal or I could run it - damn that's nice ACU. <whistles>

Either there or OFPEC, the mecca of editors.

It shouldn't matter what weapon pack - no addon maker "chooses" a pack. The weapons a unit starts with is the easiest thing in the OFP world to change, and I don't mean in the editor, I mean config-editing. If there is anyone who doesn't have a PBO unzipper/rezipper program(s) on their system and wants to change an addon, I'd advise them to get one. In this way, everyone can customise the units as they wish (unless of course they want to play multiplayer - leave them alone in this case).

Please! That'd be wonderful, maestro. Thanks for your time, 2LT C.McDonald. -EDIT- And if you'd rather not post it, my email is [email protected]. Ta again.

Seconded - even I can do it.
