Will the 40K mod be a 40K mod or just basicly OFP with 40K units? It would be great if you managed to simulate the abilities the different units have.

I hope you make an eldar wraithlord aka. bitch slapper This is what I managed to take out with a single wraithlord. 1 Ethereal 1 Crisis Shas'o 2 Crisis Shas'vre Bodyguard 1 Crisis Shas'vre 2 Crisis Shas'ui 6 Gun Drone (Kor'vesa)s 12 Fire Warrior Shas'las 1 Broadside Shas'vre 2 Broadside Shas'ui The problem would be creating all the new animations

The space shuttle accident get all the media coverage while at least 40 dead africans do not get hardly any at all. This is not an anti-american post, just a reminder that all lives are worth as much. No matter nationality. Those astronauts knew the risks with their jobs. The passangers of the train were propably just on their way home to their families. http://www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/africa/02/01/zimbabwe.train/index.html Please, take your time and read about it.

I don't understand this debate. It's just as if we would debate of wether Iraq was right invading Kuwait or not.

The US will only attack Iraq if they have nuclear weapons, right? Â Now the funny thing is, perhaps Iraq didn't want to use those weapons. Â But by attacking them, the Western world is forcing Iraq to defend themselves. Â Basically this means, that if Iraq has weapons, a war isn't a solution because it'll only make them scared and they'll react. Â Maybe by using the strongest weapons they have. Â (IF they have these weapons of course) It's like scaring a cat, when you scare a (wild) cat it runs away, but when you make sure that the cat can't escape, and you scare it. Â The animal will defend and charge at you. Basically the animal itself is not dangerous, but putting it in a situation where it HAS to defend itself, is a dangerous thing to do. Â Because then the animal will choose to charge and use it's best weapons to try and save itself. Â Same thing... Think about it...<span id='postcolor'> I wouldn't say it is ironic... But on the flipside of that sentiment, if Iraq uses their "best" weapon, which I assume you mean WMD's, then that would show the US was correct and that an attack was "justified." Iraq claims no WMD's, releases documents "backing" this up. Their stance has always been that they have no weapons. Now if suddenly they start lobbing off WMD shells, it will merely show that they were lying the whole time, and not adherring to the UN resolution, thus producing the "material breach." The US would be proven right but in a rather cataclysmic way. Really right now if Iraq does have those weapons, it would be in their best interest all around to keep them hidden and unused. That leaves sympathy and world opinion on their side, and the US still in a bind.<span id='postcolor'> Don't people say that the most dangerous man is the one who has nothing to loose? I am not a threat against you but if we two are locked in a room and you try to kill me I would for sure do everything I can to kill you first.

Ok, I do understand your point that the administration claims to have God on their side and that this kind of rethorics is used as manipulation of the masses - or whatever. However, rethorics aside, who are we do decide if their actions are legitimazed by God or not? It kind of reminds me of the 50'ies anthropological discussion on witchcraft as "real or not". To simply reduce a faith or a system of belief as something purely functional makes you violate reasons of understanding other people. It's just as sad as when someone (quite a few in this off topic forum) write off rulers or groups of people in the middle east as mad lunatics only inspired by something illogical and dangorous on their way to destroy everything free and western, because of a said clash of values. This kind of judging on other peoples cultural traits are to say the least oversimplified and wrong. Religion is not a computer programe making people do this or that - not in the middle eastern societies or US for that matter. Sure, primordial claims are used in politics and nationalistic claims about ethnicity and cultural stereotypes - but it's just as wrong to write of someone elses belief systems as false - or even ridiculous. Is there witchcraft, God, Messiah or whatever exept from in a primordial sense or as a social organizing of collective sympathies? I don't know - but I do know better than to ridicule other people and write it off as pure propaganda. As it is now, most US citizens happen to believe in God - and that is allright with me.<span id='postcolor'> I have nothing against religions but if you violate human rights and kill people, justified by the holy books and your own believes of what's right and wrong then I think it has gone too far. Bush also said that communism is one of the evil things USA has fought. So they consider communist countries to be evil? Does this mean that USA will eliminate all communist now when they are going to eliminate evil? Religious and ideological fanatism are sad things.. I fear millions will still die by them.

It was completely waste of time. Again only speculations were made, he talked about his intel sources that have evidence, but did not present any. He flamed fears and said that US is the best, greatest, most free, bla bla bla... Anyway I assumed the speach to be that way, so I am not surprised that he tries to sell big red elephants. What I really liked was the thing he linked the administration with god directly. The US administration seems to be the first representative of god on this planet if you listen to Bush. Maybe he is the Messiah ?<span id='postcolor'> It's all propaganda without a real substance to get the citizens support again. But people buys it, and not only americans. If the prime minister of sweden would have talked about the blessed people of sweden bla bla bla the swedes would have taken him for an idiot. But it works in USA to get up the patriotism. USA puts them selves above all other nations. A nation with God on their side who's duty is to liberate the world from what they believe is evil. I have not heard this much bullshit south of Svalbard since I was born.

The models are genarally pretty simple. At least they should be. But the texturing requires skills if you attempt to do all from scratch. As Romulus says you need good artistic skills which takes some time to get. I had not done any 3d modelling before I tried O2 but I had some skills in doing graphics, yet the texturing is definitely the hard part.

The bomb looks awesome, but it looks like it allready requires a quite good cpu. Much of the real bomb feeling is in the explosion sound. I agree with you that the effects are pretty weak but I can live with that. It's some time since the game was released. If I want great effects then there are newer games I could play.
