Baphomet why haven't I seen you on the Canadian mod forums?

Its the same as OFPR, of course it's editable. It uses the same tools like O2 and visitor. Why is there this idea that it's this new, great different game? This is ridiculous. First of all VBS is no better then OFPR, it is based on the same engine although it is tweaked out a bit. Looks like they took stuff from alot of mods, why would I buy this to use BAS units, or a LAV25 from the ADF pack that could even be ours when I could DL them for free? The price is outrageous for one, and what are you getting extra? Some addons, that's about it. Mods could match this work or better it, as I see it most the ideas came from the mods anyway. This is a last ditch cash grab, that's all it is, to compensate for the not selling as many copies to the goverments as they hoped on. Furthermore I am dissapointed to see that the OFP2 screens they released are actually from VBS1. If they would have been smart about this they would have packaged it as a massive upgrade to OFPR and sold it for $50, call it OFPR 2.00 or whatever. They would have sold a shitload more copies. the engine is not the same, it's improved, and i think it's better create something for VBS than for a limited engine Can you show me a full list of how it's improved exactly? I see there may be coding improvements yes, higher res textures, yes, but what is different for it? Modified in what way?

Why would you even bother to ask something like this....

LOL! You better mount a TOW on that scooter!

Nice addons there, great idea.

Although this is a neat option we have opted not to do this again. The main reason is it causes clutter in the action menu. Too many times I went to pick up RPG when BMP was breathing down my neck, I end up standing there with my helmet off, no RPG and BMP blowing me to pieces!

Certainly not. The addon community has taken a great game and added alot of good things to it, it's good for everyone involved.

I have heard alot of complaints about problems with ATI cards. I am having green screen on load problem with my Geforce FX 5600 256 MB card. It seems to be somewhat directly related to addons, If I remove them it works again. I do not have a large addons folder, perhaps 15 addons total, other then the BIS addons. I have played with the settings and disabled wbuffer as per the Avon Ladys suggestion. What happens is the game loads, I can hear the music, I can move my mouse around and hear the clicks as it crosses over links, but the screen is all olive green. Also the BIS and Codemasters logos dont show on startup like they should. Here is my specs: Athlon XP 3000+ Geforce FX 5600 256 MB Audigy Live 512 MB DDR @2700 Direct X 9.0b Windows XP Pro If anyone had similar problems let me know, perhaps there is a solution.

Why the fuss? I can't see nothing but good things from this. Some mods had p3d edit for a very long time and they hogged it, even though it was made by OFP internals they act like it was theirs. If Operation Northstar would have had it as long our learning curve would have been much shorter. Since I had it I only opened a couple models to look how they are built, not to steal. If anyone wants a copy of p3d edit pm me but as far a sI'm concerned this is the better tool.

It's the same thing anyway basically, serves the same purpose. In fact this new tool looks a little better. Who made p3d edit is now defunct.

Might as well release P3D edit now too, no sense in hoarding it any longer. Perhaps I will release it.

I also don't have a problem with helping. Let me know what you need. There is plenty of other "bigger" mods that have cracked BIS models for their use.

Ya what are you missing exactly? From what I hear VBS is no better then OFPR. Furthermore the addons are better for OFPR. Essentially it's the same game anyway.

We are getting close to done on the Griffon. We still need to finish the animations and tweak a few scripts. There has been alot of support for this addon and we hope to have a top quality unit for your use. Here's a few shots to tide you over. As well I have prepared a video to see. Download the video over at Operation Northstar. It's divx format. Excuse my piloting skills but even if you don't intend to DL the addon its worth the laugh. Thanks to Deadmeat, Select This and US Marine for their help with a few things.

Nice to see a Canadian boy taking home the gravy. Good job Earl, I'll keep the molsons on ice for you here.

I said it before and I'll say it once again. If you read the user agreement that came with O2, or any other BIS tools for that matter, you have no rights to anything you make with it, legally or otherwise. And when you clicked the accept button you agreed to this. That includes textures applied in O2. BIS has all the rights to all our stuff, not us. Now, there is certainly something to be said for courtesy, respect and integrity. Borrowing work and claiming it as your own is weakness. Telling the world in your read me that you borrowed something isn't stealing, credit is given where it's due. Once P3D edit is made public there will be plenty of reverse engineering going on I'm sure.

I have an issue with my Griffon chopper that when the door gun goes empty the pilot has to reload it. It has 5- 200 round magazines. Is there anyway to assign that action to the gunner in the cpp?

Well I am still having this problem even with autoReload=false; in the cpp. The funny thing is if I pilot and have an AI gunner it auto relaods fine, but in MP with two online players the pilot still get a reload action and the gunner has nothing, it won't even auto relaod. Any ideas?

When we getting a final on this 1.96 so I can upgrade my server? I'm still running 1.94. I won't upgrade until the final patch for OFP, tired of all these betas.

No I still plan to finish it, just not much time these days.

I love this idea and would like to donate to this pack. I had started making farm stuff for my Prairie island and I have this stuff laying around if you would like to add it to your pack.
