    Once again, all this talk about magical shields.

    I could shoot all day at a M1A1 Abrams with my .38 special and never put a dent in it. Does this mean the tank has a magical shield? No! A conventional 9x19mm, no matter how hard it tries, will never penetrate class IV armor. No one is claiming that body armor makes you invincible, why debate this magic shield crap when it is clear that certain calibers can easily overcome certain armor. Its all about the matching of projective and target.

    On topic, I remember the BAS addons of yesteryear did have simulated body armor. I could take 3-5 shots in the front torso from a assault rifle before going down, why body armor was not implemented for a game with "Modern Combat" in the title is beyond me.

    Given the claims being made for the effectiveness of body armour here, it's a wonder anybody ever gets killed by a bullet at all icon_rolleyes.gif

    Headshots, neckshots, arterial extremity shots, fatal physical shock from non-lethal rounds.

    Thats how bullets kill someone in heavy-class armor.

    Did I mention AP and incendiary?

    Hi all,

    Long time no post, I remember I used to post way too much in the OFP photography threads, so um, here's my first addition to the Armed Assault photography thread.

    Not staged, was just taking potshots at camels and this one landed in a way that made it look old and relic-like. Take care for now. smile_o.gif

    Hi,

    I havn't been here in, years I think. I am still waiting for ArmA to be released... how has everyone been doing?

    And tell me if you know who I am, I want to see who is still around from the old days.

    I tried unistalling v3.5 patch but it told me I was missing a log file, what to do? I am trying to do a complete reinstall of the program, since I went 3.5>4.2>4.5, and according to 4.5 release notes this is "retroactive"? Also, I can only get one of the new animations to work, the lean right one. What are the keys for the others?

    Quote[/b] ]oh and O2 doesnt help any. When I make large models my bulldozer tends to show holes where there are not ones. I redo a part 50 times only to figure out it was just bulldozer playing tricks on me

    O2 is probably the (I kid you not) easiest, most intuitive, and streamlined low-poly modelling tool on the planet. If you think O2 is quirky, you should try Maya or MAX. . .

    I hate to go offtopic but I despise o2, nothing ever worked properly for me. If you want easy and intuitive, try Lightwave 8.0

    1. I asked this earlier but never found a response for it. In the new editor I am unable to draw syncronize waypoint lines between waypoints, why is this? I click on synchronize, hold on one waypoint and drag to another but a line never appears...

    Click once on the waypoint, and then hold down as you drag, that should do it, I have no problems on my comp involving that.

    BTW Nice GUI

    I have sorted all of my problems out, they were mostly hardware setup issues. Now I have a few issues that are possibly FlashFx's fault.

    1: When I blow up a UAZ I get a gigantic explosion, and a very large error message involving the drop cl command. The UAZ dissappears and leaves an explosion similar to that of a Fuel truck exploding. I have pics if you need them, heck I can make a movie if you need further help.

    2: I am not sure if its a bug or a feature, but I was shooting a truck at about 15m distance and I think the tracers were deflecting off of the truck and hitting me because I kept losing health. Once again, I can provide movies to better explain this.

    3: This isnt a bug but more of a suggestion: Could you replace the Ural Ammo, Fuel and repair with CSLA ones like Y2k3 mod? If they already are replaced then maybe its just my game...

    @Milkman: make sure that you have not the same addon you have in the FlashFxUR folder in the res or original addons folder (it would be always better to post the exact error message.

    I have no other addons, this is a clean install of OFP 1.96. If you mean the addons that came with the game (su25, BRDM, etc) yes I do have those in there. Here are two of the errors I remember off the top of my head:

    "Cannot open object Data3d\uralt.p3d"

    "Cannot open object Data3d\ziomek40.p3d"

    hmm, these are the old and annoying errors that sometimes occur.

    i'd recommend to do a reinstall of 3.5 and then download the patch 4.5 HERE

    I don't know what I did, but I added "-nomap" and turned on Hardware T&L (Wasnt on even with a X800XL!!!) and the problems have gone away. Very strange but it works fine now, really enjoy using this pack.

    Did u install the 4.5 patch?

    Er nope, I have been out of the loop for awhile, is 4.5 on the first page of this thread?

    EDIT: I installed 4.2 patch, but I still get missing p3d errors, no more CTDs though. Also having trouble with textures, at distance they look okay but up close they are blurred. Water texture is just a light blue too. (That could be DXLL interfearing with custom water from this pack)

    Hello,

    I recently installed version 3.5 onto a clean install of OFP 1.96. I get alot of errors saying that ofp is missing various .p3d files. The main screen anim that has the ruined vehicles on it is missing the wrecked URAL for instance. I don't know what the problem could be, so any suggestions would be helpful.
