Sniping-Jack -BIA-

Okay, here we go: I've talked to the "Archive-Admin" and ther was a tiny mistake in the links to all Noe2-content. Now ALL needed content is DLable again - even the missed campaign. :) Sniping-Jack's Mapfact Nogova2 with all content Have fun! PS: Don't forget to DL the DC3-Pack if you plan missions. It contains a special "Noe-Wings" version of this beautiful oldie. :)

please do not qoute all the text if not needed. Thx.

The vanilla campaign should fail in some missions. So it would be fine to get the adapted one back somehow. I know I have it on DVD but I'm in the middle of a long lasting relocation act so I can't access those DVDs. So my hope is that anybody out there has it und could spread it to those guys. :) And of course any other mission/campaign from Nogova would work either perfectly as it is or after some tweaks of the start positions. If the units should start within any new object they will get stuck of course. Oh! If the mission uses IDs from map it would fail also. It needs to get adapted to the new IDs. But all other _should_ run. :)

It's a bit hard, indeed. But Google is still your friend. ;) Sniping-Jacks Mapfact Nogova2 Still available for DL in Mapfact-Archive is the needed Oil-Addon and the MAP-Misc. I've tested it right now and it worx. You know the stuff, you can't get rid of this required addons. What I didn't found in web: "Resistance@Noe2" which is the adapted campaign. Maybe one of the chaps here still owns it and mails it to you? It isn't required but it's still a great campaign! It would be super if we could get it back somehow. Some suggestions for enhancement: Dig for the latest ECP-MOD! It boosts up the experience incredibly! Playing on Noe2 is different. The enemy can be hidden everywhere. But if you are quiet, you might hear them first, befor you get spotted. The ECP adds a lot of nice acustics - including russina talk and human noises. This could save your live! ;) Another enhancement is DxDLL which puts water-reflections in and some other nice effects. Recommended for optics! Another great MOD is this weather-MOD which creates 3D-clouds and even snow or falling leaves. Very, very nice! Unfortunately I forgot its name, but I'm sure, one of the dudes here will remember it. :) Edit: "Llauma2" is the name of this beautiful MOD. But all important things are packed in the DL already. So all things you need to run basicly is still available. Note: all those enhancements I've talked about were running at the same time on my old Notebook in 2006. So it means, it's tested, it runs. And to go on the save side you still should have a clean installation running on a propper OS with not too many unnecessary tasks in the background. Please be aware that OFP still has it's memory limit. So you possibly can't increase the sight-range to 5000m despite of your brandnew Rig. Just a small calculation: - Original Nogova: ~177.000 Objects - My Nogova2: ~770.000 Objects BUT: about 500.000 Objects are clutters! That means: Noe2 contains about 2.000.000 single objects - maybe even more! This is a hard job even for actual machines - at least I could imagine that. However, Noe2 can't compete any longer with any actual island from BIS or any other Gaming-World out there. It's ancient and outdated. Nevertheless it could be a nice feeling like luxuriating in old memories. And, I really do believe so if the campaign should get recovered, you could get stuck in extremely captivating missions and you forget all the ancient content. However, I hope you will have some nice hours on Nogova2! :) Cheers Jack

Better late than never: Thanks for the flowers! :) Nice to read that the island was being used for such a long time. Is there anybody out there which is still playing OFP and using Nogova2? I'm just curious... :)
