Yeah, Nogova would definately fit a Poland island. If you want you can always rename the names of the buildings by editing the textures and then changing the original building's paths, but nonetheless Nogova is definately similar to Poland (If I'm not mistaken Nogova is sort of a recration of a few places in the Czech Republic, which is a neighbor of Poland, so it does fit.)

Thanks for the heads up. However, I find it strange virusus spread through emails. Why the hell would anyone open an email from an unknown person, THEN open the email's attachment, proceed to download it, then install it? I only open attachments that I know were supposed to be sent to me, and if they are from a person I know. Even if the email is from someone you know, OBVIOUSLY it's not really then if it says "Hehe funny pic in attachment! Please open!" or something like that. Â

Very nice! I have a suggestion: don't mix the smaller houses with the apartments. It really is unrealistic, I doubt you would ever find a neighborhood of 2 story houses surrounded by a bunch of apartments. Try to give the cities a neater look, placing the Apartments together and then gradually reducing the sizes of the building used the further out you go. Look at any skyline of a city and you will see what I mean.

I'm going to try to modify some of the demo BIS units to have gasmasks, oxygen tanks, stuff like that, to look like the soldiers in the game STALKER. Do the BIS units have normal textures ingame, or would I have to completely retexture them? Second, to add a pistol proxy, do I just take a proxy:beretta.01 traingle thingy ( ) and add it to a BIS model? If I'm able to create a character or two like this then I might even make a pack containing a number of destroyed buildings, stuff that would be useful in a post nuclear fallout/Chernobyl-in-the-near-future style map.

Thanks alot!

Wow, these cars are really good! I really like the siren effects on the police versions, and the black government one (if thats what its supposed to be) is very cool. I have a question, whats the command for turning on the sirens through a trigger?

One of my computers is really screwed up, so I'm going to format it. I have a question though, how do I format in XP and then install XP from DOS? I used to do it by installing ME from DOS and then installing XP over it, but I can't find my ME disk.

How do you boot from the disk, can someone elaborate that?

Wow! This game is definately an awesome surprise. I expected it to be MOHAA with more team mates, but I'm surprised at the good AI and cool iron sights. Too bad theres no blood or anything, I hate when developers do that, I never know if I hit or miss.

On the topic of patents, I heard Microsoft has to change it's internet browser (Internet Explorer) because of a patent, and it will cause many websites not to work.

You can get all of the Half Life 2 videos off of Steam here, or from 3d gamers, the best videos being Barricade and Traptown.

Hmm the dev's of Stalker said the minimum requirements are low, but "Support for all second generation D3D compatible accelerators (TNT/Voodo2/etc), optimized for Geforce2 and up". Obviously you might not be able to play the game with all the high end stuff enabled, but you will still be able to play it. I'd rather have Stalker the way it is, the story is creative, a soldier versus terrorist organization thing has been done to the death. You have to remember that Stalker isn't only with the mutant animals (the only mutant animals right now I know about are the rat wolves), but against other Stalkers. Who said that? In Stalker you ally yourself with other Stalkers, not go out by yourself, same with Half-Life 2, haven't you seen the latest video, Barricade? You are with a group of other soldiers and there is team based combat, although you don't give orders to your allies.

Erm... Bizon?! Â Nonono, it's a SIG-clone in 9mm, second is SIG SG-552 Commando! Bizon... Â Shit, lol I wonder what I was thinking then, now I looked at the pic and it looked nothing like a Bizon. :P

I actually hope BIS take their time (or are allowed to ), since then there will be less patches (less work for them afterwords, less downloading for us, mostly bug free game out of the box), also, I hope BIS keep silent like Valve did with Half-Life 2 (they got great results IMO, releasing information a few months before release). Although some info would be cool, giving hints towards interesting features/gameplay and stuff like that would make me even more eager to buy the game.

I'm sorry, but...you're kidding, right? He probably means they will have scopes of some kind. (I hope )

The temperature itself IS hot, plus it is really humid and the air is thick. And I have "tasted" temperatures above 40, when I was on vacation in Tunisia a few years ago. :P

Don't use that other BHD island, it's unrealistic and it uses BIS buildings, use this one instead, it has custom buildings and looks MUCH better than the other one.

I consider myself an intermidiate, I can identify almost any weapon I'm shown. From left to right: 1st - sort of looks like a Skorpion SMG with a vertical forward grip, 2nd - SIG SG552 Commando, 3rd - Remington 870 Deer Magnum, 4th - AKMS/AK47S, 5th - I THINK it's an FG42, sort of looks like it, I'm not that greate with older, less known weapons, 6th - AR18/AR180 (most likely the AR18), 7th - a Kalashnikov, looks like an AKMS/AK47S with a black plastic foregrip and pistol grip. ;)

Hi all, my area has has serious problems, I just got power back for the first time since 4:14 PM (16:14) Eastern time, and I think we will be having rolling blackouts as well. I think there is tons of crime around, I can hear police sirens almost non stop. It's pretty hot here, around 30 degrees celsius.

A challenge would be making the thermal view, I don't think the OFP engine allows for this but something to make up for it might be possible through scripting.

My email is ofp_rules@hotmail.com, it'd be cool if i can have some pics of a Harley Davidson.

LMAO posted a similar thing at the same moment. :P

I doubt, JAM is just standardized settings and sounds for weapons, they still use the BIS models. HD weapons are there to simulate badly trained militia, I think.

Wow, this addon is seriously amazing! JAM is an excellent initiative, but I have a question about it; if we want to use it with our addon, should we ask for permission or just pack it in with the addon and thats it?

I completely agree with Ebud, on everything he said. The OFP AI aren't that intelligent, admit it. They don't do much more than follow waypoints, go prone (or crouch 5% of the time) when they see an enemy, and fire until they die or the target dies. The Vietcong OFP hide from you behind a tree, pop out for a few shots, hide again, maybe crouch and move to a new location, and again pop out and shoot at you. I REALLY didn't like how OFP's AI always went prone. Even if Vietcong had those textured walls, the jungle feeling was there. Most of the time actually I didn't mind the walls, since the levels weren't THAT small, and there were many trees that actually made the levels seem larger. IMO the level where your helicopter crashes in the jungle is absolutely amazing, the atmosphere is captured exquisitely, with flies and mosquitoes flying around the bushes, the distant commands of the Vietnamese, etc. The developers travelled to Vietnam to get the atmosphere right, and I think that helped a ton.
