Sounds like a plan.

Anyone? Just to clarify what Im talking about are static vehicles with crews that will allow players to lay out defensive positions and fairly elabourate gate defenses, watch towers etc without having to faff about with setpos commands etc. Key components would be the vehicles themselves and then appropriate cargo/gunner/commander animations.

Erm you could just make a trigger to execute the script as a radio command?

Anyone else bored of fighting in grim abandoned cities or rural wastelands, how about a nice shiny holiday resort island? Mostly wildeness witha few developed areas featuring holiday activity areas and one big sewage processing plant or something similar inland with the rest being wild and a few scattered builinds?

Isnt it funny how every european country insists on training its army in a muddy hellhole.... Why dont we ever get to train in nice places?

Im aware of them but they were objects and had all the associated problems of trying to get the AI to use them, setpos and switchmoves allround. No integral weaponsystems

Any chance you could knock up some waterborne opposition of any nature for your boaties Mr Klink? Maybe a pirate version of the Fishing boat?

aside from the obvious mission incompatability (no cargo proxies) and the lag it would cause (since the boats are used in 4s and 5s) and lastly carrying over the cripts would be very difficult for those who dont know what thier doing. Hmmm a poorly considered suggestion on my behalf, but what I reallly should have asked was could the multi gun script be used on a PBR replacement...which you answered already.

My god you dont even read three posts above do you?

Hmmm If a body was to try and replace the existing boats with your PTFs would that cause a whole raft ( Pun) of problems?

Anyone tried it head to head against the Huckins?

Whoooooooooooooooop, Hmmmm I forsee a conflict between the USCG and the Tonal coastal defence force.

Thank you

Finally installed 6.0 last night, brilliant brilliant brilliant, I find the CD player especially handy on missions like the convoy escort in the 1985

The units are excellent, as is the patrol north mission up to the point where it ended automatically when one of my squads wanderd 300m off the axis of advance, thats perhaps a bit sensitive. The automatic helmetstateshift is really the business though.

shame about that, the pauk I mean

I'm predicting a major downloading spree on all boat addons by people looking for targets Did any of the beta testers try it against that pauk class fast attack boat from ofp.info?

There will be basic island bugs, and then there will be bugs with the integration of the new buildings, if you release a beta with editor builldings it will be easier to tell the two apart.

Klink is there any possibility of deliberately seperating a weapon component and having it operate independantly as a "Normal" vehicle. What Im thinking of here is detachable support weapons or parasite combinations, like an armoured car "Strapped" to the deck of a boat that can then roll ashore and fight on.

It was common as mud for russian pilots to try and ram the luftwaffe during the GPW

Klink you are the king, I'd ask you to do a PV for the Irish DF pack if the project wasnt dead in the water (argh pardon the pun). Would the presence of the gun positions interfer with other features like a stable deck to walk on when stopped or deployable RIBs? 60-75m patrol boats would provide very versatile gaming platforms with the option to use them as mobile gun platforms, static playing areas (which AI couldnt really use on account of being thick ) Or mission start/briefing areas for troops heading towards the shore. Finally how difficult would it be to convert existing addons with the multi turret technology? Would it require a major refit of say the USCG block Island to make the HMGs work without sliding around the place as independent objects? Thanks again Imshi

Actually Im asking about 80 metres, roughly the length of a football pitch, not 80feet the length of the Nasty class which he has already made.

Well apart from the cowardy custard political swipes this topic has another purpose. Erm Stupid question time, but would an 80m patrol vessel be longer than a single object in OFP can be? If so would having a multi part vessel with extra weapons stations be too horribly complicated to run on mortal PCs? Its just that these riverine vessells will be little more than super gucci technology demonstrators until someone invents a decent river for OFP. Yours Grovellingly Imshi
