The ONLY thing I don't like about this mod is the zoom range in the viewers of the tanks n' stuff. I'd adjust that a bit if I knew how. Everything else is fantastic. Thanks for your time and effort on a great mod, Solus!

Well these two posts really clarified it for me and should get me started - thankyou!

Excellent. Thanks for your reply Sanctuary, that's exactly the answer I was looking for. So I'd want to rebuild the Data3D.pbo and the O.pbo, and possibly the Data.pbo files. Off hand, would you know where I'd find the respective files containing vehicles and helos files for a similar redo? I have time; not sure I have the required patience and tenacity; but I'll take a look at it and maybe I'll get it worked out someday.

I'd be using this if I could get it to work with SLX. Love them both. GRAA ran great on a 3 gig CPU with a gig of ram; but not SLX. Got SLX to work after adding another gig, for two. Since my favorite is SLX, I need to figure out how to isolate and extract these GRAA units and weapons textures files (not the sky or faces, just to keep it simple) so they could be popped right into any OFP install as a textures replacement, as opposed to a seperate @mod folder. Any ideas?

Will do! Thanks again man! - hope you are rewarded for your talent and hard work. Best modding I've ever seen anywhere. What do you do for a living if you don't mind me asking?

Glad to see you back at it Solus, Lordy knows it needed some repairs; but it sure seems to run good now. It's fantastical! I'm always being rescued my one of my medics, draged off into the bush and healed up. One time, (not sure of the order) the medic shot the guy who shot me and was still shooting at us, then he halled me off to safety and gave me some much needed medical attention. I was able to continue with my mission. That is such a great improvement to the game and crawling 500 miles to get back home. Two things tho, I can't tell by looking at a tank whether or not it has been hit - less it's on fire. It doesn't seem to soot up. Is that something that needs to be turned on, or have I just not hit it enough? Also, the top left info window is still misaligned and missing info, on my 19" flat top. Can that be fixed? I wonder too if and how it would be possible to add GRAA's units and weapons textures, or would that most likely put too much strain on the PC to run smoothly? Love this tho Solus, really is fantastic.

I don't have Tonal or SLX installed, but i believe you would take a fresh OFP Resistance patched to 1.96, add TR according to it's readme. Then add SLX and update according to it's readme, and open "C:\Program Files\Codemasters\Operation Flashpoint\@SLX\Mod Configs\@TonalRedux+@SLX\bin" folder, Copy/Paste the config.cpp file from there, into the bin folder of the "@Tonal redux" folder. If it doesn't have a bin folder (and probably doesn't), Paste it into \Res\Bin folder. In either case, if you do see a config.cpp file, just rename it (so wont be over written) b4 u paste, Create a shortcut off the FASHPOINTRESISTANCE.EXE, open it's Properties and add the switch  -nosplash -mod=@Tonalredux; -mod=@SLX one space after the last quote on the Target line. Run the game from the Shortcut.

As I said, I've never seen this happen b4 and this is the same version I've been using for quite a while. But was good to hear I was on the right track in my mind about script issues and no script changes. But what about the config file though, I'm sure CTI must use that, and if that's been edited in such a way as to remove or change what CTI uses, well then would be cause for the lazy bastages. I know CTI isn't your bag, I just wanted your thoughts to be sure nothing in the config file was changed that would interfere. Thx 4 taking the time to answer.

OK thanks. Something I'm seeing time and again sinse adding this, which I haven't seen b4. In MFCTI you have your workers that build your manufacturing plants etc, and for some reason they wont work (half the time), just standing around shootin the shiat. Well that means I gotta shoot them cause I'm an evil dictator who can't stand lazy bastages. And I can't afford to shoot them cause I'm a cheap bastage. Well, more like poor. So it's a problem. Any idea what might be causing this?

That was quick. I actually copy/pasted the sound options section as it is, right under the visual options section. //////////////////////////////////Visual Options////////////////////////////// #define ENABLE_VEH_REFL #define ENABLE_WEA_REFL #define ENABLE_BIS_FACES #define ENABLE_HYK_ACU #define ENABLE_HYK_OPFOR //#define ENABLE_ALT_RESIS #define ENABLE_SANCNVG #define ENABLE_BURNING_VEH #define ENABLE_DESTR_VEH //////////////////////////////////Sound Options////////////////////////////// #define ENABLE_RADIO_VOICES #define ENABLE_MAP_WEPSND Thx! Btw, sad thing is they actually react a lot faster, than i can read to see if they have.

Decided to try it with ECP and found no voices and no option to turn them on. They are turned on and work witout ECP. What to do?

An April fools joke? Here's one for Og: Place arse here [ ]

Oh no, does this mean we're gonna see a whole buncha banana's in sychronized gyration ? Â Â Â Â Â I guess I better get your install together. Lookin forward to it. Glad it worked out that way.

No blame from here; I've mentioned before how amazed I am he keeps up with everyone's posts in here, addresses issues, and lives real life too - way too much work. He must be very skinny.

========================================= DOWNLOAD: FFUR/SLX 2007 1.0[488 MB] Mirror 1 - GOL Clan FFUR/SLX 2007 1.2 Extra Pack (Needed)[10 MB] Mirror 1 - GOL Clan Ah, OK, I knew you had said 1.01 before but never saw it and assumed a type error. I downloaded these from your current release HERE, never did see the 1.01 patch. At least I know you know; and you know I don't know - Good to know - Ya know???

Oppps - Wrong post - Deleted.

Wow, beautiful. Have been a faithfull fan of your stand str8 anim for a long time - this is officially my 'must have' replacement. The pope Thx U! And I thank you

As I mention previously T-Bird, FFUR doesn't replace the M21/24 with SR-25. But I just discovered what does, and thought I'd let you know, you might have been confussing Sanctuary's GRAA Mod3 - wow, that's a gamers rifle! Anybody know if there's a vehicle replacement pack; one that swaps out BIS's default vehicles, replaced with something like Inquisitor's or Combat's quality M1A1's, M3A2's, 5Ton's, Hummer's etc? Also a Helo swap out or replacement pack, or are these just too hard on PC's?

Thx Cibit, Turkmenbashi, I will look you guys up if and when I get a comp that will run Arma properly; I'm surprised my 2.2 AMD (which compares to a 3.2 Pentium) with 1Gig PC3200 and GForce4 5700LE 256Meg 8xAGP wont run it properly. How you guys liking Arma? You think it a big improvement to OFP? In the mean time, If there are people playing OFP regularly (for same reasons I just expressed), or want to, please let me know.

Ok T-Bird, thx for that, I'll have to mess with this some more before I give up on it. Some of those effects you mentioned sound more apt to make it crash than the others might; is it possible you have shut off operational type features in favour of visual type features, where i might do the opposite? I'd like your thoughts. Also, has Solus been around to answer or has he slipped off again?

Hi T-Bird, I just DL'd and installed FFUR/SLX 2007 and the addon pack from here off the Mods and Addons forum a few days ago, and there was grass on an M24. It crashed. Maybe it's MFCTI, I just did a complete format/windows install, new ofp, slx, mfcti and still crashes. No problem without slx. The game seems totally smooth tho (with or without slx), not like it bogs down or looks over worked at any point, just crashes without apparent warning or reason. These scripts you mention, what exactly does it turn off or remove from SLX? Would bodies still be dragged, people healing people, gathering weapons, all those cool goodies going on? Hey Froggyluv, must be nice to be in love and have a crash free session of hot SLX. Hey Kyle_k_sky, just thought that maybe you need to treat those windows like  they are obscured with daylight reflection that an enemy can and will use in RL. stay away from those types, or if you can, crawl under them. Justa thought. Then again, I guess the reflection be gone soon as he started firing through it.

Ya, I too discovered SLX early and was having issues back then as well, but I don't recall them being as bad as they seem now. I agree tho, maybe MFCTI and SLX is just too much. FFSX, is that different than FFUR/SLX 2007? I tried the latter and didn't like it. Not to discredit the work of those who worked hard at it and accomplished so much - but I tend to play a mixed role of sniper 4x20 round mags and 3xAT when i play, and they took away my M-21 and replaced it with an M-24 that holds 7 rounds and is covered in grass (doesn't look right with a plain soldier) and clogged up the view down the scope. Little too cartoonish looking for me as well. Used to love Y2K3's similar add ons, but the instabillity of Y2K3 and FFUR got me back to basics with a few minor fixes which i've just grown to prefer. One has become the look of stabillity, the other, the look of a bad joke. I remember really wanting those updated vehicles and weapons and uniforms etc, so bad that i tried installing and monkeying day after day for a few years. Now when I see them, I just see years of trying and failing. And I really do like the more simple installs now. And not from the required effort of installing - that's not a problem, just the stabillity. I just formatted/re-installed windows last night and plan to install OFP-SLX today and give it another shot. Might look into turning off the wounds scripting T-Bird mentioned if I can find it. I still would like to hear from those who play SLX extensively and with a reasonable amount of stabillity. I'm not convinced it's stable and I'm not convinced it's not my own error somewhere niether; i need confirmation. Oh, and not to knock it, I think it's fucking amazing (to put it as gently as possible, it's just that exciting!, and can't wait to see it stable. But it's very discouraging to put in the kind of work and prep and sweat and angst to get to the point of 'pounce' on an objective, only to have your game crash just as you smell victory, snatched from your mouth as if by a ravenous lion - with a nasty sense of humour.

Just Resistance patched to 1.96, Added SLX_Mod_1.09 @slx folder, Added SLX_Mod_Update_1.093 @slx folder, Ran Install_win2k_XP.bat and selected "All", Added " -nosplash -mod=@slx" (without quotes) to target: "C:\Program Files\Codemasters\Operation Flashpoint\FLASHPOINTRESISTANCE.EXE" Added MFCTI1.16.pbo to AddOns folder, Added MFCTI 1.16A Coop Malden.Abel.pbo to MPMissions folder, and that's it. MFCTI works great without SLX; add SLX and crashed a dozen times (every time), 10-20 minutes in. I,ve noticed others mentioning this crashing issue including TBird from FFUR; what I'd like to know is, are there many people out there who play SLX extensively without crash issues? What about "online"? This MFCTI has to be played online - would that be an issue with SLX?

Just looking at this thread for the first time, looks good; but, looks like I missed it. OFP server HD died - New server for Armed Assault only, am I right? Curious, what are all those who are not ready to move on to Armed Assault (hardware wise) doing? Has/is someone going to re-form a new server for OFP? If not yet, would anyone be interested if there was? Is there something similar going elsewhere? Thx in advance.

Hi Solas, and SLX lovers, Took a break for a bit, knowing this would need some time to iron out. Just installed SLX1.093 over Res 1.96 and went for a spin - lookin pretty special  Can't wait for it to smooth out. I'm getting game crashes, although I did see a body getting dragged which is absolutely awesome to see in the game - Also saw enemy AI up in the second floor windows fighting back - Wow!!! It's crashed all 3 times 10-20 minutes in, and seemed to crash not long after getting a script error up top, and i wasn't doing anything, just standing there, so must have been related to what the in game AI were doing and not the player. I'll try to get a pic of the error next time and post the message. Also, the upper left hand info box, where ammo, speed and Altitude are displayed, doesn't display properly. Most of the info seems "Hard Left", forced out of the window, below and left which is off the screen. I think i recall it always has been with SLX. As it stands, if nothing else is ever added, and what you have is stablized, this would be the mother of all mods - lol. I sure hope for it. Does anyone actually have it running stable, and what was done to get it stable? Do you know what's wrong Solace, and do you expect a fixed or stable version in the near future?
