If anyone's interested I made up an updated version of GFX-707's MG42 with improved sounds on it. I sampled the MG42 sounds from the movie "Saving Private Ryan" added the decay from a gun shot sample, and then recorded the sounds of spent bullet casings with a microphone using some 5.56mm cases that I recorded by simply droping them a few at a time. That part simulated the sound of spent casings and belt links ejecting from the MG42. I then eq'ed and mixed the samples all together. It also took awhile to get the sample to loop properly without sounding wierd. Anyways I give full credit (except for the sound) to GFX-707 who did an excellent job converting the model to OFP. The edited versions are at: http://www.geocities.com/miles_teggd/MG42.html If anyone wants to use the machine gun sound please credit me as it took a lot of work to make it. However I hope other addon makers do use my sound for their MG-42's, and similar machine guns based on the MG42. Chris G. aka-Miles Teg<GD>

The problem becomes when credit is not given to the original creator and it's as if they did all that work for nothing. If people simply do not want people to even touch their addons then they shouldn't make addons. But use common decency in giving credit where credit is due and I don't see where the problem is.

Solution= Try an team up with other BHD mission makers.<span id='postcolor'> Yup. I know how to do most of the stuff the poster wants and I'm working on redoing my last blackhawk down mission (which I take it the current poster hasn't played) because I found out that the Desert Malden addon doesn't work right on my computer (creates some texture problems with the player and certain units). So I need to redo mine on the West Coast of Malden (although that's not the best map for it) or on some desert island that works well with OFP: Resistance. But the level of work required to do so is very daunting as I'm going to have to redo all my movie cutscenes or least their coordinates and then fine tune the position of units and just do alot of trial and error play testing to make sure things work as they should...in some ways it may be easier to just start from scratch. But to the original poster of this thread...honestly you should know how to change faces on units... it's something very easy to do. Simply type in the units init box: this setface "face33"; or you can use face49 if I remember correctly. Anyways try that. If I remember correctly that's the proper script. However to be very honest with you (again I'm speaking to the original poster) that is the easiest challenge you'll face. If this is your first attempt at a major mission, I don't recommend trying it unless you are very experienced with using modifying scripts and doing lots of nice cut-scenes. If you are and changing faces is just something you never tried, then by all means go for it and I look forward to playing your mission because I do very much love the book and the real-life story. My "Blackhawk Down" mission was by far the most difficult and most challenging mission I have ever made for OFP. It took me months to do which is why I'm dreading doing the Resistance Version for it because I know it's going to be a time hog and I got so many other missions I'd rather be working on. But I'm still going to pick away at it I think and see what I can do. Anyways, if you want to check it out to get a sense of why it was so damn complex, you can download it from the URL on the bottom of my page (it's for version 1.46). However if you De-PBO it and use any parts of my mission (including the voice sounds which I recorded in my home studio), please do the right thing and give me credit for those parts. Oh also I must warn that it only works well on fast computers...(over 1.33ghz or over 1 ghz with a high end video card).... otherwise it is just a slideshow. I am going to fix that in my next version hopefully. I'm hoping I can get a map maker to make a custom "Mogadishu" map for me because the thing that slows down my mission the most is the damn building objects I had to add. By the way, can anyone recommend a good Desert map for OFP: Resistance??? Or is there a Desert Malden map addon that doesn't use that .wrp file or that is compatible with Resistance? Likewise are any of you map builders out there interested doing a Mogadishu desert map? Even if it's just with stock OFP buildings it would be a God send to those of us making BHD missions. If anyone does so, I would involve them closely in the beta-testing of the missions. Anyone who 's played my missions knows that most of them are of fairly high quality. Any takers? I can assist with finding maps of Mogadishu and pictures as well. Anyone who's interested please message me or email me. Chris G. aka-Miles Teg<GD>

Â Most of you were saying due to some players using the Jump feature to escape bullets. Â I aggree, but...... Please clear your mind and just picture the following: Possible mission: Â I am dropped in a hot LZ, running for cover and finding a good place for my platoon to make a stand on the approaching forces. Â I send my mine carriers to set traps for possible heavy armor or troop carrier. Â Possibly even take out a couple of buildings or make another type of road blocks. Â I send 2 or 3 snipers to high ground, they have to be well protected and hidden as well as having an escape route. Â I set up a small recon team of 2 or 3 as well as flanking re-enforcement. This sounds good, except: How can I have my mine carriers blow up part of the building to collapse on the road? How can I set my snipers to climb to a church tower? How can I give the snipers escape chutes or ropes to get out of a tough situation? Proposed solutions as I said before: 1) Fully and Partially collapsable buildings 2) Jump feature to climb small walls or use vehicles to climb up to roofs of small buildings. 3) Ropes, ropes and more ropes. Â No soldier goes to battle without one. Â They have shovels, ropes, picks, etc. Please, I respect your comments and understand that some player use certain features to cheat, however, if these are in the game, I think OFP would be the MOST realistic combat simulation software ever!<span id='postcolor'> Well you need to contact BIS about all that stuff because they would require new animations and alot of extra programming. Also like someone else said, rope is not a normal piece of equipment for an infantryman unless they're climbing mountains or they are doing rigging operations as part of some type of engineering task or for securing equpipment....oh yeah...and for obstacle coarses. Also I agree with the other poster about jumping. You simply do not jump around with a full combat load. You climb over obstacles. A "climb" command might be cool, but likewise it would require new animations something that you can't do without a very expensive animation studio like the one BIS used for the game. That's why you don't see animal addons and stuff like that. New buildings however would be cool and I look forward to seeing taller buildings and things like police stations airport control towers, ect... Oh also...there is one church that does have a bell tower with a ladder that you can climb up. You can also place snipers in it with the map editor. In resistance there also many buildings that allow you to place snipers on the roof tops and if they have open rooms, will allow you to place them in the rooms with a little scripting and trial and error.

Obvious spots for snipers are often shelled heavily or put under a nice bit of automatic cannon or .50 cal fire. If a sniper is spotted in there, like you said, he is screwed if enemy infantry is on the ground below. He'd be trapped like a rat. Normally regular buildings are used that have multiple exits and plenty of places to hide. They are also heavily fortified with sandbags to help protect the sniper against suppressive fire unless it's a hasty position. Also without cover from friendly infantry on his flanks, a lone sniper or a two man sniper team can quickly find themselves surrounded very quickly in an urban enviornment.

Also if you look closely you see the IR sensor in front of the cockpit (that little bulge) plus antennas and little details like that.

I also was wondering why the addon file was so huge. The thing about huge addons like this is that if they aren't extremely good, while I back them up, I don't keep them active on my addons folder because they simply take up RAM memory space that I could use for half a dozen or more smaller addons that are far more useful in my missions. The Tornado was worth it (although it needs fixing also), but this one...I think needs some more work before it stays in my folder...furthermore it also could use some animations like on the flaps at least.

After loading it, OFP is running smooth. 2. If a MiG is destroyed, then I get a real slideshow! But in the Ingame Menu the Cursor is moving very smooth. Really weird. What I really like about the MiG: It stands a chance against the ADATS! Well it even has an advantage, as it can lock on it, long before the ADATS is able to lock on the MiG.<span id='postcolor'> I have similar problems. Previewing it is ok...not too long to load, however like you when one of the Migs crash the framerates turn to crap and I get a "slideshow". I thought my computer was going to crash for sure when it did that. LOL! So anyways, something's definitely wrong there...also like the Tornado, it won't land correctly on Nogovo...although I'm not sure if that's a problem with the map or the addon... I need to test that by landing on Nogovo with the A10 and Su-25. Other things I don't like about the Mig-29: (Take this as constructive criticism) 1. The nose looks funny. The cockpit I think needs to be a little higher or something and the nose definitely needs to be reshaped a bit. 2. It's missing the little IR sensor just in front of the cockpit. 3. The air intakes look rounded when on the real thing they are not. 3. The rear engine exhausts/afterburners look nothing like the real thing and have funky textures. I'd rather they not be textured to look like they have their afterburner on all the time, because it doesn't even look like an afterburner turned on... instead it just looks wierd. 4. The landing gear "up" command disappears when I take off so I wasn't able to raise the gear once I took off. Also it was very difficult to take off...I actually went off the runway and "bounced" up into the air. _ Ok now things I did like: 1. The sound ROCKS! While it's not as good as the jet sound in satchel's sound pack (which I think is the best I've heard so far) it's much better then the original BIS jet sounds. 2. I like the weapons loadout. Nice combo of AA and air to ground weaponry. 3. The AI fly very well and do some nice strafing with rockets. 4. The handling in the air is fairly stable. Not bad at all. 5. It survives AA defenses better then the Su-25 Frogfoot. 6. The tinted canopy is cool (although I'm not sure if that's very realistic). Also the interior of the cockpit looks good. Overall I think this addon is a good beginning, but I hope you continue to work on it to get the model looking better then the original my modifying the nose and air intake and improving the textures a bit. Oh...also... it would be nice to ask the G8 guys if you can use their gattling gun sound that they use in their AMX and Tornado addon. That gun sound would authentic to how the Mig-29's cannon would sound (the Mig29 also uses a gattling type gun if I'm not mistaken). Chris G. aka-Miles Teg<GD>

In case it went under everyone's radar, GFX-707 released a SA-80 as part of his Bunker pack#4. It is a little bit rough looking on the first person view, but it looks MUCH MUCH better then the older non-Oxygen SA-80's such as the ones used in the BIB Royal Marines/paratrooper addons. Also...there are serious bugs in GFX-707's SA-80. 1. The soldier's damage level is 600...he's like a tank. 2. He used the wrong scope (the M21) when he should have used the red dot scope which is made for that type of ammunition (even if it doesn't look like the real-life scope at least it's accurate). 3. The soldiers engage the enemy with full-auto fire. The result is that they fire high and miss the enemy entirely, while they get slaughtered by the enemy soldiers. But other then that it's a good addon. At least it actually looks like a real SA-80 and the pistol grip sits in the soldiers hand properly. Also a friend of mine fixed the bugs and sent the rifle bug fixes to GFX707 so hopefully he'll incorporate those fixes into the next update of the weapon. Anyways with the fix the SA-80 functions superbly. Now if only BIB would fix it's British soldier units cuz they all appear in Resistance as medics with big white arm bands. Oh before I forget his SA80 by the way is available as part of the bunkerpack#4 at: http://www.fortress-ofp.com/ Chris G. aka-Miles Teg<GD>
