I advise you to download, examine and play the example mission included in the zip. It's not something you can use straight away.

Thanks for making the source files available. A very quick reskin: Not for release; just playing. The pattern needs better scaling.

Good one! This opens up a couple of new possibilities, to say the least. Any way to show AT/AA weapons as proxies outside the main pack?

Hehe I found this silly when I saw a catholic church in an African island. I would guess that a lot of catholics would be persecuted in some third world countries.. *what Evis said* Guess who I find silly, BD? Â Oh and some things I found: There are 2 tunnels at AJ31, and a Scud site at BB18. No prizes for guessing where the last Insurgency mission will take place. There is at least one Mosque; I spotted it in Kimoe.

Love the airport. If Hawk's C130 skidding problem could be sorted, it would be spot on for an Entebbe type mission!

SORTED! Thanks, Mr. F.

Having problems with the door...

Can anyone see the problem? <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">/* Animation tutorial (#9) by BRSSEB, 23.07.03 */ #define TEast 0 #define TWest 1 #define TGuerrila 2 #define TCivilian 3 #define TSideUnknown 4 #define TEnemy 5 #define TFriendly 6 #define TLogic 7 #define true 1 #define false 0 #define private 0 #define protected 1 #define public 2 class CfgPatches { class BRSSEB_TUTMODEL { units[] = {JFWHutstilts1}; weapons[] = {}; requiredVersion = 1.85; }; }; class CfgVehicles { class All{}; class Static: All{}; class Building: Static{}; class Strategic: Building{}; class Fortress1: Strategic{}; class JFWHutstilts1 : Fortress1 { model="\JFWhutstilts1\JFWhutstilts1"; armor=900; scope=2; displayName="Hooch, Stilts 1"; animated=1; class Animations { // Door animation class class ani_Door { type="rotation"; animPeriod=5; selection="door"; axis="door_axis"; angle0=0; angle1=-1.5; }; }; }; /* Animation class end */ // Useraction class class UserActions { class OpenDoor { displayName="Open Door"; position="pos1"; radius=2.000000; condition="this animationPhase ""ani_Door"" < 0.5"; statement="this animate [""ani_Door"", 1]"; }; class CloseDoor { displayName="Close Door"; position="pos1"; radius=2.000000; condition="this animationPhase ""ani_Door"" >= 0.5"; statement="this animate [""ani_Door"", 0]"; }; }; /* Useraction class end */ }; /* Model class end*/ }; /* CfgVehicle class end*/ Thanks in advance.

DOH! Many thanks!

No, Mr. F. When I actually start OFP it crashes. The model path is okay, I had it ingame before I added the door animation; I guess it's the animation code that's causing the bother.

I've been waiting for this, too. Is it possible to produce a seperate animation for Machine guns? they tend to be carried slung lower.

Love the Phantom, though Wonder is correct; the hardpoints where you have the rocket pods don't exist on the real aircraft. At the moment there's no tail codes or roundels; are you working on different nationalities/code options?

Okay, what's your plan?

Rock on!

Pointless discussion. Tomorrow something may appear (even M4s) which will revise your opinion of the benchmark. The best you can do is say: "This IS the benchmark, better it!" But even then, addon makers will still make whatever they damned well WANT to make! "All Jets"?! Bit broad isn't it?

Hoooya! Two copies to bring more into the fold!

I'm trying to set up a pre-planned artillery mission, but when I try I get an error message.

Man, you really need to get laid. BTW, The three Miniguns were fixed. That said, I'm outa here.

The armament of an AC-47 was three miniguns firing to port. AFAIK there wasn't a variant with .50 cals. Oh, well...

Nice. How about a gunship version for Vietnam?

Looking very good! About the pilot, I got to agree. HKs were never used in 'nam, so the standard pilot is right out. It will probably be a very, very long time before we see a dedicated Spad pilot, so at least the present one could be given a pistol All it will need is something in the config to take the standard weapon off him and add the sidearm.

Have you ever used image intensifying Night vision gear? It's better than nothing, but it's nowhere near as good as the Mk.1 human eyeball in daylight, and it's hard enough to aquire a target during the day when you are moving near mach 1. Then consider that while you are looking for something to kill, you also have to watch out for AA threats of varying degrees of sophistication. Some smart munitions would be able to take care of buildings, because as has quite rightly been pointed out, their positions would be well known. But trying to hit dispersed targets like aircraft and logistics gear could be made very difficult just by there not being a light source nearby. And that is the important stuff; the buildings could be rubble, but as long as there's a runway, aircraft, fuel and muntions, that airbase would still be able to mount some kind of offensive operations.

Whatever. My point is, despite the sophistication of the weaponry, there is always a margin of error. It's up to the defenders to make that margin as wide as possible. Switching the lights off not only helps do that, it saves electricity.

In a war it would be blacked out. You use every trick in the book to screw things up for the bad guy; handing him a dirty great visual reference on a platter is not a good idea. yeah, he can find the airbase by using GPS, but once there he's got to look for targets manually, unless he's using some very sophisticated weaponry currently only used by the Yanks. And we all know their reputation for accuracy...
