    Confirmed release dates and countries.

    All I know is that there is no US release date.. Its getting me fairly angry. Alienating a huge fan base.. FINE if there is no release date but the game comes out in the Czech Replublic in FIVE days. They haven't even given us an UPDATE on the search for a US Publisher. A simple "We're looking into numerous publishers for the US at the moment, with the impending release in the Czech Republic.. we are very busy around here and we apologize for not including the US in our earlier publisher statements. If we would have worked on it sooner, the US could have been included in the estimated release dates"... Just think, the 505 area has been anounced, the second Czech Rep. gets their hands on the game, bugs will be spat out, and worked on to be corrected. Thus making it take more man power to cover not only the MP/SP support but for the publisher & making it take twice as long. It'll be Q4 2006 when we get it... *Internet Distribution*

    uestion: 1. Confused on rotate.sqs

    Thanks for responding to my intial question Sanctuary. I however forgot I had asked a question similar to this a few days back. Once a mod logged In I was sure that he would notice within seconds and delete the thread. Thanks though for the hook-up.
  3. It's been a long day. Been up 49 hours.. I wrote a thread here and didn't realize that I had a very helpful person answer the very question I had asked a few days ago. I guess I'll come up with a new question: But since I cannot create a new thread title I ask you to ether to delete the thread.. or bare with me with this question instead (mods feel free to delete at any time). Once again I apologize. 1. Is there a way to have a rocket hit the rotor of a chopper? 2. How would I set up a trigger to activate the second an RPG is fired? Thanks, and once again, If I could change the topic title and fix this up I would. However I cannot do that. Sorry for the mishap

    What do you *HOPE* will be in ArmA?

    Hopefully they had time to implement wildlife. Placebo said they would have that "if they have time" before the release.. *Crosses fingers*

    OFP videography

    Due to my overwhelming drive to create a "professional" flashpoint video. My base attack 3 video will probably not be out for a while. Factors: Full time college student --Study Full time band member (Drummer) Job: 15 Hours per week Make time for (Karrillion's bootcamp server) everynight from about 9-11pm. + The Fact I know NOTHING about camera scripting So I've been busy I want this movie to be a piece of work, I will do my best to get the next one done as quick as possible. As that has been said, nice movies everyone! Keep it up, I see a change in the wind says I! More ofp movies than ever seem to be popping up recently. Keep it up
  6. Alright. I know of a few things that can be changed on your personal OFP that can be loaded into MP game's that are not considered "cheating". 1. The Modern Sky Pack. 2. Kegety's Sky Pack 3. FFUR 4. ECP 5. WGL 6. FFUR (Unactivated) but still have music/sounds with normal OFP effects. 7. Dxdll (FX & Framerate counter) Is there anymore? I heard something about the nightvision goggles and them allowing you to see better without the large amount of static everwhere.. is this true? And are there anymore "ligit/optional" ofp tweeks and goodies out there can can be changed and played on MP servers? PS: I know mods (FFUR/ECP/WGL) crash servers, but things like sounds don't. I'm just wondering about things that CAN be changed.
  7. I started to read snyper's intro guide to camera scripting. I must say he did a really good job up until about page 12 (rotate.sqs). 1. He never said: The rotate.sqs file included in the download is what I am now going to be refering to. 2. He never said that the bit about rotate.sqs was merely line of code linking the script testcam.sqs. 3. The "tutorial" rotate.sqs makes NO SENCE. 90% of the terms used were NOT explained in the tutorial nore the script itself. I am still confused. Is there anything better out there? I apologize for the long exasperated post. I'm just starting to think I'll never understand this stuff. I decided to stay up 24 hours to learn the art of camera scripting but I can't now because the guy who wrote it expected all of us to be golden children or something..

    Rotating Camera Script...

    Exactly that: This tutorial covered all of that. From what is forward/backward/right/left/up/down. He starts his tutorial by stating: I finished the introduction, it was easy as pie. I understood it. After messing around and experimenting for a few years (Very rarely, off and on). I know about the init field and whatnot. I just HATE having to read 12 pages, going back and forth between game/text and experimenting for 4+ hours. To hit page 12, and go WTF?!!!! Now what? I have to find some other schmuck's tutorial that will explain that of which I didn't understand and then transvert on THEIR page 12 to some other thing I've never seen before?... *Sigh... Perhaps he wrote this in his spare time, but the point of a tutorial is to teach, and when you have a calculus professor teaching Basic Arithmetic.. Stuff don't click. ========================= edit: OFPEC's site shows 7 Items under the category: Cutscenes, Music and Custom Resources. Camera.sqs by Messiah asks me to have read a tutorial by snyper that is not on OFPEC. Custom Optics Tutorial by earl talks about overlay's and stuff that doesn't pertain to my situation. Cutrsc/Titlersc Tutorial by General Barron doesn't pertain to my situation ether, but still after only a few lines asks that I have read over: Vectorboson's dialog tutorial. Intro To Camera Scripting: by Snyper Again, NICE for 12 Pages. Perfect for any editor, although very unclear at page 12. Like he found the bottle of rum in his hidden cabinet and continued to write his tutorial. Music, Sound & Radio by Navy_Seals: Not doing that. Switchmove/Playmove Animation Library by AK-Chester: Not doing that ether.. I guess I could just simply ask for some help. Where can I find how to learn the information provided in the script in the first post. (Preferably that doesn't require me to be a rocket scientist 1/2 way through or require me to have previous knowledge of something else, it seems that ALL tutorials require some certain prior knowledge. Sort of impossible for people to start now-a-days..). Thx PS: Sorry If I'm giving the impression that Im in anyway hostile. I'm just "dust in the wind" without any sence of direction. Really though, if I could just be pointed in the right direction I would appreciate it. What should I read first? Second, third? Thanks for your time all.

    Any other (ex) Battlefield 2 players?

    Also: Respawning is nice for the "BF" style matches.. Although you loose all sence in the words: Combat SIMULATION.

    Arma around the world

    USA - Making American's Impatient = They get bored of OFP at 10x the rate knowing that there's a "newer" and "better" version of the game they're playing. Eventually loosing in OFP all together and forcing us to go outside and see the sun once and a while. PLEASE don't do this to me BIS! I'm only 1 man! I hope they secretly have a publisher who is working like crazy to get their work done. Perhaps a "surprize" release date to come out and scare us all! edit: the very second an english version of the game is available, It's mine!! *Unless there's a new competition I can participate in* -hint, hint-

    Question: Things that can be permanently changed?

    True. But I am asking people if they know of any "data.pbo"s for download that can/will work in some servers. What "data.pbo's" have been created to say that they will pose a certain "effect". Example: Where could I find this nightvision fix/edit static "data.pbo".

    Your favorate OFP mood/situation?

    Walking alone, trying to make it back to base. It's mid-day, you cautiously go from forest to forest making your way closer and closer. You suddendly feel as if you are safe. So you go at ease. Then, two tank shells fire their sabots right next to you.. (not MG's) and miss. You run like hell, meanwhile thinking: AHA SUCKA's! Missed me! Aieeeeeeeeeee!!!!! *running as fast as you can as far as you can*

    Confirmed release dates and countries.

    Honestly, how hard is it to get a darn publisher. I'll publish it

    The day BIS even considers EA, you loose a loyal gamer of 5+ years.

    OFP videography

    About how long do yall think it would take someone to go from total noob to them having the ability to create something just awesome? Do they honestly need YEARS experience or is a tutorial like Snypers intro editing guide all we need? edit: a user's video inspired me not to create a d-day video, but a blackhawk down video instead for base attack 3. Any idea's on how I could incorporate a blackhawk getting shot down, and having some sort of a retailiation attack that wont force me to have 180 units moving around my game giving me .0001fps (experienced it a lot from by base attack 2 movie).. I want a good story, not 'a good pc' to make the video look better w/more units.. quality over quantity.

    Latest screenshots available

    Youtube anyone? I hope its realistic in that if your going so fast when you hit the water you die.. perhaps a fastrope or something and kill any people who eject out of a harrier into the water.. Think of the SEAL missions we can do now And the stealth, and the Ahhh!!!! *Gargles* I think its a bad move to have the US be the last to get the game.. everyones just going to get it from a torrent site.. torrent or not, im buying this thing one way or another **eBay!!**

    Saria Island

    *Keeps clicking refresh* How's it coming? Don't rush quality. This looks to be the best ofp map yet! How large is the island? What could you compare it to? Perhaps an update on the progress?
  23. Basically.. Im making a D-Day Video. I want to have these MG Men shoot out of the german bunkers without laying down like idiots. I need to know ether: A. How to make a unit STAND and SHOOT, never lay down. B. Need an MG that I can place in some sort of bunker C. Need a bunker with a garrisonable MG that the units can just jump into and fire..

    PC Spec's for OFP/ArmA?

    Currently I'm running: AMD Dual Core -- 4200X2 (Setting Affinity to ONE core because game continued to lock up/shut down) Geforce 6800GT AGP 2GB Ram 300GB HDD I can only run the game smoothly with around a 3000m viewdistance and the textures all on LOWEST settings. I was wondering if upgrading to the upcoming Nvidia 8800 GTO would make the preformance a world apart from what I'm using now. Will I need any sort of new processor/ram to acompany for the stated "15,000 viewdistance" in ArmA? I'd like to have my system run all the settings on High.. But honestly, does it take a supercomputer to run ofp/arma?
