hey, nice music

marketing for ofp was all over buses and shop windows back in 2001 or 2 when it came about.. I didn't actually think anything of it but I do clearly recall seeing it enough to find it annoying.. advertising has an anti effect on me though I evantually came across the game by other means.. as for farcry and soldner and whatever else, I generally hear about those from other ofp gamers where I chat who seem to me to be seeking alternatives to their favorite game that in my eyes just don't, wont and never could suffice.. but I have not seen any advertising for those games whatsoever I'm curious to see what comes about with ofp2 and I had hoped to hear something about it with this e3 gathering - most importantly to me is the inclusion of female soldiers as I'm really really sick of having to role play as a guy in a battle scenario I desperately tried to get through to maruk regarding this lately but his lips are completely sealed and I'm not sure whether to find this disturbing or promising though I get the impression things are happening.. I can't lie to say the lack of sorely missed content wont be one of the most dissapointing waits of my gaming life, reinforced by the fact that I pretty much hate all other games or find my attention span not large enough for them.. and unfortunately being a huge minority (oxymoron not intended) this matters to me as I could imagine most of you guys clearly don't care.. I will probably stop playing games altogether if bis dissapoints until a day where the female community isn't so neglected with cool games (after amiga, cool games to date = 1)

better than expected response.. there are 3 versions (pbo's) in all, so you can pick and choose; 1) a civillian model with skids 2) a military version with skids (also with 38 mini missiles set into 4 racks, a front mounted x-y-z rotating gatling gun and one rather large cannon on each winglet) 3) a military version with retractable gear (also with two aim-9 missiles, a fixed gatling under the belly that rotates on its z axis when fired and one rather large cannon on each winglet) both military versions are addon dependant to the civilian one I'll keep working on it then..

I've placed quite a number of proxys for a rocket on a model intitially using the actual p3d model with path in the proxy selection to show in buldozer, all works ok.. I wasn't happy with the original model name so I changed it (proxy, p3d name and config references) to keep track and for other reasons and retested with buldozer to check they are there, they are - then I removed the paths and the .p3d extension and pbo the model, config, textures etc and drop it in addons the problem - I place the model into the editor and goto from the editor I goto preview, though for some reason the proxy model is trying to be sourced from /data3d/mymodel_proxy instead of from the pbo file itself.. resulting in an error stating the model cannot be found in data3d I've doubled triple quadruple etc checked the config file and I can't see any problem, names are all there and proper any ideas? does the model somehow retain the former proxy model path? I'm out of ideas

thanks for trying akk I did take a look and there is no reference to paths.. I'll answer my own question though which may help someone else in future; the problem was in the config where I had not properly defined the class "CfgNonAIVehicles" - there is no reference in the model to paths regarding proxy models.. I guess ofp will first look in the dir and if it cannot be found then it will head over to the data3d folder <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE"> class ProxyCAS_mymodelname_proxy // this was my defined proxy in CfgNonAIVehicles // the model was called cas_mymodel_proxy.p3d and so ofp was looking for mymodelname.p3d instead of the one I wanted it to class ProxyCAS_mymodel_proxy // this is what I changed it to anyway, I hope that makes sense, I failed to notice the proxy model was not being issued with a path and "" as it is already defined under "CfgAmmo".. configs are weird is all I have to say thanks to kegetys for helping me sort that out

wow, I read some of the comments here and it seems the hungry dog gaurding its food is an understatement.. all I see is baseless paranoia for yet another tool that adds to this world of editing here, you'd all be screwed if o2 was never released, usually costs alot of money to get yourself a decent modelling program.. perhaps o2 shouldn't have had a save function.. now does that sound stupid or what? I swear, if any of you think your shit is that good then go and make a living from it and if people buy your shit, then who's to argue your shit is worth shit? there's so much stupid testosterone inspired pride drivel here it's making me sick.. I can tell you now that no addon I have ever downloaded is worth anything at all and I don't care who made it, and I would go as far as to say they are all totally crap with or without the game - infact I had alot of respect for some of you that's just bottomed out, meaning every time I see your name somewhere on some addon or any other place I'll probably be reminded what a stuck up moron that person is for trying to hold stupid ideals precious to themselves to great extents for the benifit of their very own selves where's the fun gone? the learning? the sharing?

just a little (or large) weapon for fun (or mass murder) that I wanted to create when nothing else was quite cutting down numbers as I would have liked... now you may think I'm crazy I had fun making this and had some help from some wonderful people in the ofpec community, like it or hate it or ignore it.. I don't care, maybe someone might find it fun comes with 500 round clips and a GL [edit]and a scope[/edit] get it here enjoy!

no.. it's a religion

I think tankie boy was too excited about being the 2nd to reply post to take notice by the way, what would going to a pub and talking to females do? is that where you get the latest vd? you're so mean!

exactly drow, he should hang around and sink to their level instead of getting out while he can.. how dare he stop wasting his time

I don't have a problem with a moderators decision, I have a problem with the severing of reasonable communication I should be able to recieve from this forum if someone has anything useful to add, then that would be comforting though if someone who is duped a moderator wants to cut off my means of communication/help, then what can I do? in any circumstance, I do not see how I am being a nuisance, I'm asking for help, preferably without answers such as "I can buy it.. thanks, end of story"

P.P.S I do NOT live in melbourne and I do not see it stocked anywhere in the place that I live, so I don't know how that is supposed to help

over time, my resistance cd has developed a crack from the center leading out.. it has worked fine until now, the crack has grown half a centimeter onto the actual media.. obviously this is no fun is there any redemption from this point? can I send my cd to BIS for a replacement? if so, where? and how long would this take? what if my cd got lost in the mail? if so, would I have destroyed any hope of getting a new cd? call me cautious and/or paranoid.. but one of my biggest hates is mailing or recieiving important things via mail, especailly around the world

1.92/1.94 are of no use to me if I cannot install resistance in the first place just to note: * I live in australia * there is no australian branch of codemasters or bohemia studios (bia aside) * I can not obtain goty edition in australia, all stocks seem to be depleted * I do not hold a credit card, ordering outside australia doesn't seem to be an option * I shouldn't have to purchase a brand new copy * I have no gaurentee that my cd wont be lost in transit, especailly to another country... or do I? if my cd is lost in transit (which is a common outcome of mailing important items to me), can I still get a replacement? I don't think so..

perhaps the best idea is to have absolutely no music at all, with the option of dropping the users own music files into a directory to be played on particular key bind presses ( ie. shift+< and shift+> ).. this way I'm sure everyone would be happy at all times due to the variety in specific tastes within this community and at large.. afterall this games/simulations main focus is freedom at large (or so I would hope).. and being too specific might please x%, but annoy y% of users if this sounds too non specific where themed cutscenes come into the picture, then perhaps creating subdirectories within the primary music directory to cater for themes such as energetic, calm, sorrow, victory, failure and whatever else can be thought of, might supliment the lack of themed music for particular occasions

not really.. infact it shouldn't cost a cent.. just takes ungodly amounts of time and dedication

as far as I can tell, jam has increased the fun factor in the game ten fold by adding that element of the unknown "are they dead?" and also having bullets hit all around you really gets the adreniline going. in my opinion, jam hd increases the use of stealth to get closer to the enemy which always bugged me when hiding behind an object didn't seem to matter so much.. and I'm by no means an outstanding player I don't know why, but it seems to me baron that you want to reduce the playability through lack of patience and that real life factor some call the chaos theory.. and I don't think anyone appreciates your childish badgering - if you want something done, do it yourself - I can't stress that enough.. nobody is going to make addons for me, tweak something in my favour, do this that or the other for my own personal gain, if I want something I would either 1) try to do it myself through help from those willing to help or 2) just don't and go back to playing and appreciating the miriad of other community efforts that appeal to me (not those that don't) that various enthusiasts have gone out of their way to create that improves the life and playability of this wonderful game I'm beginning to think we need a hall of fame for those people who love to have an honest discussion, whatever that is?!?

can someone please remove this child? ^

calm down, evis doesn't mean any offence there does seem to be a problem at hand, though it's not one simple thing that anyone can put their finger on right yet due to the variation of problems encountered - and that's not to say the island or other addons are at fault I would suggest keeping your eye on the troubleshooting forums for the moment and/or doing some personal r&d until you get a positive result - the only thing bas can do in the meantime is take bug reports and work on rectifying any problems that may be addon specific

pleasure

sorry for the delay, bonko.. all tonal tracks are as of now, released, including the blackhawks theme 'spacetime' which is an 'edit' of the 'original edit' of the 'original' :P just look under the album 'Ballistic Studios' as for burning, I'm not going to stop you from enjoying a trip in your car with my music blaring - enjoy!

to save the community from rudely attacking bas and claiming they're rude, or throwing anxious questions into the air about who has what and why don't they give it to me, I can offer my old female soldier model for the meantime if you're planning to create a military style model, so long as you don't have vixens in mind - private message me if this interests you with your ideas

it would be common courtesy to ask and also common courtesy to respect the wishes of the original creators - this seems to be the case right across the entire modding community (extending well beyond the confines of ofp) one could easy use objects in thier own islands for themselves only, but to post material containing these objects without permissions and due credit would be misleading and creating unnecessary tension within the entire community p.s. amusing post avon
