Â What is it?<span id='postcolor'> It's a theory that vacuum is not empty and energyless. It's supposed to be full of energy but it's at balance. One cubic centimeter vacuum contains as much energy as 100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 000000000000000 grams of matter. This number is bigger than the total amount of atoms in the visible universe.

Hmm.. Just look at it

I like this one...

If you had the stuff i would say try it with a friend. But i understand what you guys are saying. Just thought id try to make OFP a little more realistic by using real radios for ya guys.<span id='postcolor'> Do you put on some camo clothes and paint your face too? To make it feel more real you could also take you computer to a nearby forest or desert depending on what island you play. How do you simulate being wounded? Do you hire a big guy that smacks your face everytime you get hit? So this is cheating in the reality OFP!?

A magnet could pull or push metal from all directions. Â I would need something to stop it from doing that, only alowing it to pull/push in one direction. Rubber or possibly ceramics could do the job.<span id='postcolor'> That's unfortunately impossible. You can't remove the magnetic force field, you can only redirect it. If you add some form of dielectric you will affect the rest of the characteristics of the magnet. The total magnetic flux through any closed surface is zero.<span id='postcolor'> I don't want to remove any of it.

Windmills, solar panels, ect - those all convert one form of energy to another, and the amount of energy output by the conversion is always less than the energy input (Since there is no such thing as a 100% efficient machine).

You cant make an engine create energy from nowhere. We have plenty of wind which we should use to produce energy. The wind gets it's energy from the sun which get's its energy from fusion.

You connect that battery to the power for the electro-magnet. Â Why is that so impossible?<span id='postcolor'> You will use at the best the equal amount of energy to make it move as the electro magnets consume. But the the machine will produce heat which is a form of energy, sound which is movement=energy, light=energy etc... You cant make something produce more energy then it consumes. This is the most elementary in physics.

I think that the BMP-1 is the right size but the the BMP-2 in OFP has the same chassi as the BMP-1 which is wrong. BIS only changed the turret when they released the BMP-2. BMP-1 BMP-2

Why do you need so many different addons? It takes a life time to find all of them. Maybe it's a good trilogy but with all these different addons it's a bad mission pack.

It a great game, much like the first C&C. But I really miss the russians. The muslims have anthrax, terrorists and crazy mobs. USA has the best units but they cost most. The chinese have propaganda centers and a big big big tank that I guess will rock when supported by missile launchers. The muslim scud storm covers a big area while the americans use a particle cannon that only takes out one building. The chinese have nuke missiles. It's a very american view of the world but it's just a game.

Instead of firing a grenade, it would fire a bolt. It would have a flatter trajectory of course. And the model could actually be 2 models: unloaded with string forward, and loaded with bolt and string pulled back.<span id='postcolor'> I will test the grenade launcher idea. It does sound like a good solution. I will do two models, loaded and empty. But don't hope for too much. It will propably end up as a crap.

I was thinking of making a crossbow for OFP but I'm not that skilled so it would propably end up as crap... But there are some skilled addon makers here who could maybe do them? Crossbows were used by special forces during WW2 and even in Vietnam. They are perfect stealth weapons cause they make hardly no sound and do not create a muzzle flash or smoke. But the main reason why I would want them is cause damn it would be cool to nail a few enemies

This is what I have done so far... I borrowed some SVD Dragunov parts. I will keep that buttstock but I'll make a new optic. The textures still remains but it's not too hard to do them, it will mainly be black composite material which is quite easy to do.

Can someone make a config.cpp for a crossbow? I don't know much about cpp's... It should mainly be like kegetys rpg-7 but the difference is that it should be held like an ordinary rifle and the rocket/bolt should act like a real bolt. I guess this wouldn't be too complicated for those who know how to make a cpp. I would also want to learn how to animate the crossbow so it looks real. Any good tutorials?

Hmm.. I am doing one also Let's see if I can make it work. If you have done a config file I would gladly wanna see it I am not even done with the basic model so it will take some time until it's ready. But it looks good so far

It will make the game lag. Just the minigun has more than 1100 faces at LOD 10.000. That's 15 times as many as a T-72 in OFP. Edit: A small mistake had to be fixed

The burning houses are great But is it possible to make soldiers die if they run into the flames? Also it seems like every soldier is a natural fire fighter The best thing would be to make the houses burn when they have received some amount of damage. That shouldn't be impossible to do. Some molotov cocktails could have some script that made the houses burn without receiving any real damage. Keep on the great work!
