  1. Our History: Founded in 2002 by passionate people, Operation Frenchpoint Team, released its first French Army addons on Operation Flashpoint (known nowadays as ArmA: Cold War Assault). Then moved on ArmA : Armed Assault, with few contents due to intern problems, leading to the end of the team. At that time, the team was 30 members. The team was then rebuilt with less than 6 members on ArmA 2, first under the name of HEXAgone Team then to Operation Frenchpoint. Today, the team is made of 14 passionate people (including only 2 addon-makers of former OFrP team) divided on two projects about the French army. The main part of the team is working on the French Modern Army under the name of Operation Frenchpoint Mod, and the second part is dedicated to the Indochina War, the French Colonial War before the Vietnam one. This part of the team, and the mod attached, is known as Indochine Mod. Our Mission: Make a complete French Modern Army mod on ArmA 3 as it was on OFP with completely new models. Make our mod as enjoyable to play as possible. Make it with pleasure and passion Share with the community and help other mod if needed. We are recruiting! We are always looking for people motivated or passionate in order to help us on our project. If you have knowledge in 3D modeling, scripting, texturing/art design, video making, sound designing or even to gather information, feel free to contact us on Steam or on the following mail : contact[at]operation-frenchpoint.com Future Contents: In Progress: Planned: Features Planned: ACE3 Compatibility (optional pbo) Task Force Radio Compatibility Helicopter with fully working cockpit. Vehicles with opening doors, different matriculation and name. Thirst and hunger module (with military water bottle, field ration) Real ammunition system for assault rifle (no need to throw an empty magazine, just load it with cartridges) Fast Rope on chopper and exfiltration cluster Medical module with stretchers management (could be given to ACE to improve their already impressive medical system) The OFrP Team: OFrP HQ TigerForce * Project Leader * - 3D modeling - Scripting Yourry * Network Manager * - Programmer Pirat3n * History Section Manager * 3D modeling - Texture OFrP Battle Group IkåR * OFrP Team Founder * 3D modeling - Texture - Scripting G.M.C - 3D modeling - Texture - Scripting Le Chacal - 3D modeling - Texture Vulkan - 3D modeling - Texture Bastien Carter - 3D modeling - Texture Skaarian - 3D modeling - Texture Jimi Vacarians - Programmer Arthur - 3D Artist - Texture - Movie Maker Jack - Intelligence Officer LaChouette - Intelligence Officer Calden - Communication Officer Expeditionary Force Arto * Indochina Team founder * - Programmer W4lkn - Programmer Khan - Map Making Romain - Intelligence Officer Follow us: Operation Frenchpoint Website (available in English) Steam http://www.indochine-mod.fr/ Additional Credits: Model Miniature: A French modeling company devoted to high quality military models who share information and pictures with us.

Frequently Asked Questions:
  2. eggbeast is unfortunately right in his explanation, particularly regarding the recruitment. Sad to say we are suffering with the same decease... But do not worry guys, even with a small team, I am sure the Unsung team members are giving all their passion, and free time to provide you guys with one of the best historical mod on ArmA series. Just be patient and you will see your dream becoming true. If you have experience in modelling or scripting and are hard-worker, stop complaining and go to help the Unsung Team. Our teams (OFrP and Indochine) are both with you ! Keep it great ! :)
  3. Hi Road Runner and all the community who is following us, From my point of view, it is important to clarify the situation. Yes one our member (a 3D artist) left our team few weeks ago, but even if its work was gaining in quality, we do not regret its loss. This member when joining our team, was a beginner in 3D. We took on our free-time to teach him how to use Blender, and how to adapt the model to ArmA, and it was not easy as its personality is quite complicated. We also teach him how to do textures, UVmap and painting with Substance, you can ask Piraten, OFrP team member working both on OFrP Mod and Indochine Mod who spent a lot of extra time with him. But even if he improved his modelling skills, he put a very bad environment in the team, shooting in the back of the people when there were not here and being insolent with people giving him advice to improve its work. In fact, in did not accept any critics and liked to bypass the roles defined in the team putting us in difficult paths with some partners (potential recruit, information providers...). Furthermore, he made everything (including 3D) rapidly and wanted to go fast, which is not the point if you want quality. He did not understand that we were not 24hours on Discord or TS doing 3D. The fact is that more of our team members are working in different jobs with extra-time not often paid when he was joblessness from several years, using on its advantage the French social security. As all the members of OFrP team were complaining regarding his behaviour, we again took on our time to perform some meetings, and to make him understand that he needs to improve his behaviour. We let him a lot of time to evolve, but he did not, preferring using our knowledge to improve his face than our team spirit. In fact at the end, we understand that he was a lazy man using our knowledge for his own interest. At OFrP Team, we want a good team spirit, with people we can put confidence, not coward shooting in your back. Therefore, few weeks ago we sent him an ultimatum, asking either to clearly improve his behaviour and his way to process or to leave the team. Hopefully for us, he decided to leave, but we discovered at this time, who he truly was... We therefore decided to ignore him. Regarding the right on the models, OFrP team is quite clear protecting with license the work of its members. Therefore, before joining the team we make signed the following agreement in order to protect the integrity and continuity of the team. 1- By joining OFrP, the original author of the content gives an unlimited right to the members of the OFrP Group, to use, modify and publish its content, only within the framework of the OFrP Group project, which means on the ArmA series or relatives (excluding VBS). 2- The author preserves all of his rights on the original content provided (means content without any intervention of an OFrP team member). The author remains free to sell its content or make any use of it. 3- The content provided as part of the OFrP project can not be published outside the OFrP Project if it is on the same platforms except with the approval of the majority of the members of the OFrP team (non-competition clause). 4- No commercial act may be performed by members of the OFrP team on the content produced by an author without his prior written consent (it is therefore strongly recommended to provide a contact email address or a valid phone number). 5- For any publication of the content, the author must have his name published in the list of participants in the project. This is a translation from a part of the French original text. This agreement, including other regarding the use of softwares provided has been signed by the team member in question and has to be respected. Following this explanation, i do not think there is more to say. We are completely transparent between our member which is our strength in our work. After his resignation, the team get a better turn with new people joining our team, and improving our incoming portfolio...but as usual Wait and See :) ------ OFrP Project Leader

    Operation FrenchPoint

    Source: https://operation-frenchpoint.com/wip-a3-04/ Dear Gamers, Oh yes, it's now time for us to give you some update ! What's new in our package you will say...well a lot of things. Let's begin to wish a warm welcome to Vulkan working under Catia and Bastien Carter working under Sketchup, who recently joined the team ! With them, it's also a lot of new vehicles such as Rafale, Mirage 2000 and GBC-180 which you will see on the website. The curious among you have already noticed it, we have reviewed our "Work in Progress" tab, in order to be more on our working status. You will therefore find for each model, screens and progress bar. We have also changed our rifle from our shoulders (French expression to say we change a decision to another). We decided to create main family packs of vehicles/items instead of packs by vehicles/items in order to optimise our work and time. Regarding the "Planned" tab, the list shows what is planned in a short term, not long one... It allows us to focus on what is already more or less on the track to be efficient. As most of you, our profesional activities make us very busy and do not allow us to go as fast as possible on our passion ! As we say in France, Patience is a virtue ! You will be able to comment each of our packages in the dedicated tab on our French forum (English language allowed) but be aware of our dictatorial moderation particularly for people using SMS language or insults... Let's stop speaking, we let you take a look to some news signed by Vulkan, Troglo and Le Chacal. Do not forget to visit the website of our friends from Indochina Mod, which provide a work of great quality and passion ! EC-725 Caracal (H225M) P4 Mirage 2000 C Mirage 2000-5F Rafale C Rafale B Rafale M See you soon...or not !

    Hi serjames, Unfortunately we had some issues migrating from http to https, but it is resolved now. Please check your mailbox, you will soon receive an answer. Sorry for delays. For the other, OFrP team is still working but we had to delay our release due to professional matters... Don't forget that OFrP Group means also Indochina Team. Take a look to their website to see their WIP ! http://www.indochine-mod.fr/ Have a nice weekend !
  7. We had promised a few days ago, version 3.2.4 of the mod OFrP is finally available. Last update of the mod dated from December 2011, he took us a long time to offer this new version, in part because of some internal and private problems, and it was not easy to overcome. To function properly, this new version needs ArmA2 + Operation Arrowhead. However, you can use it even if you only have Operation Arrowhead, only Warfare buildings can be problematic. Special forces are featured in this update, with new soldiers COS and adding CPA units. Also present an operational skydiver and a unit of 13th RDP. You will find, of course, new weapons and new vehicles. You were a lot waiting for the aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle and is also available. It is not controllable unfortunately the ArmA engine does not do it properly. With more than 60,000 polygons, a single LOD configuration, split into several parts, it is the heaviest of the addon mod. The configuration did not leave us much choice, it is not so easy to make a large object in ArmA 2. Visit the downloads area for ArmA 2 CO, you'll find a version of AIO (All In One), compressed in 7z format about 1.15Go. Separate files will also be online soon for those who can not download large files at once. We hope you enjoy this mod OFrP as much as we enjoyed building it, much as we love to share. We thank the following teams for their help, their feedback and suggestions. - 2RIMa - 3DLM - A.D.O. - F.S.F. - R.A.P.A.S. - R.E.P. We would also like to thank the team ArmA3.fr/CFr-ArmA for their support and help. This release of OFrP is done now in a climate somewhat tense, since some people permit themselves to modify and distract our work, despite terms of use yet clear, these people continue to do what they wish with the greatest of contempt. We especially found this week a modified version of the beta version of the mod, which has yet been given only a few people. This version "hack" is intended to be used with the ACE mod, and also in ArmA 3. We do not allow any changes to our model, for any reason, and we do not allow any port to ArmA 3. A minimum of respect, is that asking too much ? By downloading and using the mod OFrP, you accept the terms of use that accompany it. These conditions are also available online here: OFrP License Terms of Use (E.U.L.A.) : The add-ons OFrP were created entirely by the authors (including textures) and thus are the exclusive property of the authors. Available only for the game ArmA 2 CO, you are not allowed to use them in a game or other software, present or future. You are not allowed to decompile OFrP add-ons to extract the contents. You are not authorized to modify the OFrP add-ons, or to integrate it with any mod. You're not allowed to use the OFrP add-ons for military purposes or other non-recreational use. Therefore, the import of these add-ons to VBS2, or any other similar software is prohibited. The mod OFrP (version ArmA 2) was created for the game ArmA 2/Operation Arrowhead, and only for this one, you are not authorized to modify or adapt the mod for ArmA 3. No wild portage to ArmA 3 is therefore not allowed: this is our decision, as well as the refusal to port the mod in ACE and we want, in exchange for what we give to the community, at least that it respects our positions. By downloading the mod, you submit to the EULA, and any non-compliance with previous rules, you may be subject to prosecution.

    Operation FrenchPoint

    The year 2015 was a difficult year, with its news of course, but also in terms of the development of the OFrP project. Indeed, the project, due to problems of motivation and organization, has not gone far from extinction, only the Indochina project held on. The year 2016, by the resolutions we took, should be a better year, finally with a release of the first contents of the OFrP project on ArmA 3, and certainly the Indochina project highly anticipated within the team. Indochina project already looks very rich in term of quantity, but also in term of the quality of the models and their historical loyalty, particularly through the archives of the ECPAD that we thank. In addition, thanks to the relations between the OFrP Studio and excellent Unsung Vietnam mod, the Indochina project will be able to share, enjoy and do enjoy a serious collaboration. The first elements of OFrP project will look much poorer in comparison, with a restriction on the units. Indeed, given the importance of the work on ArmA 3 and the instability of the soft due to each update, we decided not to release infantry, at least initially. This decision is all the more justified by the existence of numerous add-ons or simple retextured of quality, reproducing the French soldiers, whether in Armadeus, R3F, E3 (Soronelite) productions or so on... The choice is therefore to complementarity rather than competition. The first OFrP contents will therefore be made of vehicles such as upgraded VAB, the VBCI-VCI (rang), probably an AMX-30 B2, helicopters, such as EC-665 Tiger and the EC-725 Caracal. This will be enhanced with drones, weapons and an ACE and Task Force Radio compatibility. We will also try to keep track of our add-ons on older Bohemia Interactive a.s games, as it was the case in 2015 on ArmA 2. The task remains arduous but we hope that our resolutions and our vows's Eve will allow us to achieve it. The OFrP team wishes you all the best, and good health for 2016. A special thought to our members spending the New Year celebration in OPEX. See you soon ingame ! OFrP Team

    Peace for Paris - Peace for World The whole team OFrP, already affected by the Charlie Hebdo attacks in January 2015, expressed again its support to the families of victims and those of law enforcement. Courage to you, respect to these men and women from all origins, fighting for peace in the World. These attacks of Friday, November 13, in the country of Human Rights, will remain forever engraved in the memory of the French people. However, we don't have to forget the other attacks in the World, such as the ones in Lebanon the day before, Turkey, Egypt... Thank you to World peoples for their solidarity! Long live Freedom, long live Solidarity, Fraternity and Peace! TigerForce Abstract: I personally lost one of my best childhood friends during these attacks in Paris. Accordingly, I will take a break in development, to be with the family of my friend. The first OFrP contents that were originally planned for Christmas, will therefore be certainly deferred until later. Thank you for your understanding

    Hi, Thanks to a wonderful guys, named Yourry, who gave us full access to his server, we finally managed to correct the warfare buildings. In fact, we replaced the Chernarus proxies by ours, and it has corrected everything. It seems, Chernarus is still not so stable... :( We know, it's a bit late, but it's better late than never ! As we are preparing an ArmA 2 server with Patrol Ops and Warfare, we will give you soon more intel about OFrP update for ArmA 2. Notice also that MAFCExt will also be updated with working signatures. We will also begin Multiplayer test of Indochina Mod... Regarding the future OFrP Server, if you want to play on it the following mods will be required : CBA - OFrP - MAFCExt Regards,

    Hello, Today, Operation Frenchpoint Team offers you a slight overview of the models still in progress. For those who follow our adventure on ArmA 3, on our last news we spoke about giving you some fresh intel, so that's it ! Let's begin the show with the VLRA in two versions! The first one is the transport version which has been already shown during an old WIP. The 3D Model is now finished. Tireless camel, the VLRA is from a long time, the workhorse of the French Army. No continent resist him, nor any track! The second version is still nowadays used by the special forces!

    Dear Followers, As announced in our Roadmap, after the logos, it is the turn of our website to reborn ! It is therefore with pleasure that we unveil this new version for a new adventure on the ArmA series! But where is it, you will say, it's still in place at the same address : http://operation-frenchpoint.com/ (Use CTRL+R if needed) We said goodbye to the old PHPBoost in favour of the popular Wordpress. We wanted a more modern website, as a portfolio. Do not worry we kept most of the old site. You will find news, images of WIP and the OFrP versions for ArmA 2, ArmA 1 and Operation Flashpoint. You will notice some new features like modding tutorials (still under construction), and especially our pride of Froggy, a site fully translated into English for the sake of the English community! You will be able to leave comments on our website, but you have to be registered! We innovated again, as you can connect via your Facebook, Google, and Steam account. Some observers will see a Forum tab, but not surprisingly, it is currently reserved for the team. If in the future we open it to the public, note that your website logins and forum are the same. Regarding the development of the mod, know that the first ingame tests took place, with a pleasant satisfaction. It is now a certainty for us, the coming year will be full of surprises! Before returning hibernate in the OFrP cellar, we get you an appointment within two weeks for fresh news! See you soon ! OFrP Team

    Sling Loading Feedback

    Hi, Thank you for your help, I will try to contact the French BI Dev in charge of it.
  20. tigerforce

    Sling Loading Feedback

    Hi all, It seems I have a troubleshooting with the "Sling Loading". In fact, the Sling Loading assistant does not find any "vehicle" which could be lift. I tried with the Mohawk, the Ghost Hawk to lift Quad or Offroad... Maybe the problem is I am not launching the development branch directly from the original game. Indeed, I use the Game Updater (Arma 3 Tools) which install the development branch in a new file in SteamApps\Common. I means I have a version of ArmA which the standard version and another one which is the dev one. So I don't have to download each time I want to go from the standard to the dev version. All of this process is made automatically through the Arma 3 tools game updater. Maybe the problem is coming from this Game Updater, because a friend of mine, is also facing this problem. Any clue ? Regards,

    Then, the model of the UAV Infotron IT180-5 EL, also named DROGEN, designed by Skaarian: Here you can see the work of IkåR, about the ERYX AT launcher. It's not finished yet, but the author certified us that he will be ready a Wednesday. GMC suggest us its VLRA, still in modelization process. Even, if it is less and less used in the forces, it will recall good memories to some of you ! Nostalgia when you take us... OFrP team wishes you happy holidays... See you soon !

    It seems to be a random bug coming from the original data of the game. On the following screens, you can see the warfare buildings of OFrP and USMC.

    Operation FrenchPoint 3.2

    You are not the first one to tell me that. It seems that the problem only occurs in Multiplayer, not in the Editor. First of all, be sure to launch ArmA 2 and ArmA 2 OA. Regarding the problem, itself, it's strange because the building wasn't changed from the release 3.2 of OFrP. Moreover, the Warfare buildings use the 3D and textures of BI. Indeed, it means that the model of BI have a problem. Maybe coming from the last patch 1.63...
