Would it be possible in the next patch to introduce a very low cpu config? I'm thinking along the lines of unit replacement, tracer script, nvg, sky, sound, editor adjustments and animation, but no explosive effects, blood, or other scripts? I love the immersion that this pack offers, but my computer just can't handle all the fancy stuff and number crunching of the >1300 MgHz configs. Thanks for putting out this pack and keep up the good work!

Can I manage which effects and scripts are enabled through the editable configs? For example, If I just wanted the replaced units, skies, night vision, tracers, and sound - would it be possible to disable the other effects? Also have you considered making an options menu rather than swappable configs? Thanks for all your hard work; the pack is a lot of fun.

wasn't little Godzilla named "Minya" in that movie with the kid? Personally I'd love a full size Godzilla model and maybe a MechaGodzilla as well that you could get in and pilot as a soldier

I was finally able to try this out tonight and man, I am impressed. Â I was playing on the Citadel (ip 69.56.169.34) and we loaded up a small ctf across a large field. Â Perhaps it was partly the people playing, but the game was incredibly atmospheric. Â I was an antiarmor guy and while I was trying to move up my teamates were laying down covering fire with the heavy mg's and firing out a smoke screen with grenades; very cool stuff. Â We had some nice fire fights going until I misread the new AT sights and fired high over the incoming armor, which really spoiled the day. Â Â One bug I did notice was that in a later game, my opponent used a smoke grenade, but I didn't see any smoke, only all the buildings on the terrain started dissapearing until eventually all I could see was the sand bag right in front of me and a huge open field with nothing on it. Â It's hard to describe but it was definately confusing, plus my opponent got away with the flag... Â All in all, great work on this pack, I hope BIS takes a look at this when they are finishing up ofp2; good stuff. Wright

actually I think it might be a little tricky to do, but possible. First you would need to make solid green skies, which could be done by using Kegetys hisky install, so maybe a mod folder could be used. Then you would have to make a solid green island which is easy enough. If you are far enough away from the water, you wouldn't have to change the water texture, which is a bit tougher. Consistent lighting may be tough as well, I'm not sure about how much the specular highlights would show up but it might be necessary to reinstall to an old version of ofp, pre-resistance, and I think the specular highlights would be gone. All in all it is possible but might be more work then you imagined. Good luck!

Does anyone know of any fast mirrors that are hosting v. 3 or the addon? Both that I've tried seem quite slow for me. I did pick up v.2 though and I'm quite impressed. I look forward to v. 4

Speaking of Lauma's sky, is version 2 coming soon?

I'm not sure if Vietnam or the other areas have crocodiles, but I think it would be really neat if you could have them attack you occasionally if you wander down to the water's edge. Could create some tense water crossings...you know you may lose a man, but who will it be? Johnson, you first!

I have to say that although its a relatively small feature of the game the seagulls have always really annoyed me. For example I hate the birds natural restrictions such not making ultra-sharp turns and not being able to fly backwards at a usable speed. Although it's somewhat realistic I miss the user-friendliness of an freely positional camera. Also the lack of stability drives me crazy as well, especially on cpu intensive missions the camera gets really jerky with seagull mode. I think it would be funny to be something else like a dragonfly or some other insect (might fit with ofp2). They're quicker, can manuever better and I can imagine a buzzing swarm of them really annoying an opponent.

I think this is definately something that ofp2 needs. Many new games are supporting this feature and although they certainly shouldn't set the standard, it does make the simulation of driving a vehicle much more realistic. I would also like to hear them add breaking sounds to vehicles, for example compression brake noises (or whatever they use) for the 5T and the like. Even if Bis doesn't spend a lot of time polishing it, it would be nice for the option to exist for sound modders.

I think that would work great Baron. From my discussions with Suma in the past however I get the feeling that they are unwilling to allocate official resources to updating that sort of list, and sounded reluctant to let a third party do it either. Still, things can change. I hope at least for ofp2 that they will give these sorts of options some more serious thought. Wright

No just living under a rock I tried alt f4 out in game and it works great, going to that little "shutting down" screen first. I figured it was just like an end task sort of deal where it unnaturally cut it off. Anyway thanks for the good tip. Wright

Nice horns baby!

Draco, Since I don't believe I have ever seen any of your previous posts, I won't claim unrealistically that I will miss you more than I would miss any other faceless guest on the forum. Â However, having read your post, I can't help but feel sorry for your situation. Â I don't want to play therapist but let me give you a piece of advice for someone who has been there. Â I think you need to stop worrying so much what other people think about you. Â Does it really matter what some 22 year old gamer in Seattle, whom you will never meet, thinks about you? Â Granted, we all want to feel accepted, but at the end of the day what really matters is how you feel about yourself, and that's not to be judged by others' opinions. Â I'm willing to bet that getting off the internet for a while will do you some good. Â We all (and I mean everyone) have our natural talents and it sounds like maybe you just need to find your niche. Â Explore some hobbies that you haven't tried and see what fits you best. Â Remember though, Don't do something because you are seeking someone's approval, do it because you enjoy it. Â Also, when going through times like this, don't forget your closest friends; mine have helped me through many a troubled time. Â I wish you the best of luck in life. Regards, Wright

hm thanks for the alt-f4 tip I've never heard of that one. Using alt-tab tends to give me a lot of problems in game. Occasionally it works but generally it gives me my desktop cursor over ofp and won't let me see the desktop. Still even if alt-f4 works it would be nice to have an official option.
