Post by: Darkage on January 04, 2003, 06:55:21 am: Dude!

I have been making missions and **** for awile now with operation flaspoint. Aint to easy when you want to use scripts.
anyway.

Here is the site to go for when you need something including tuttorials.

Operation Flashpoint eddeting center. (http://www.ofpec.com)

And the forums.

Forums (http://www.forummatch.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?forumid=202)

Some more

All very helpfull.

btw here is on of my missions with a few smiple camera scripts of my own. It's prety much complete but stuff can be improved.
anyway here it is. You need the 1.46patch though.

Yes! i think it's the best military game there is, realistic, fun, etc.
In most missions you need to actualy think how to complete them rather then rampaging with a tank and shoot every thing to bits.

I say, buy it it's worth your money.

Get the Game of the Year Edition if you can. Includes all of the official updates and extra campaigns.

Post by: Zeronet on January 05, 2003, 09:16:40 am: Resistance is a great addon pack. If you have *a lot* of ram, you can bump the land detail to max and land is really realistic. Even on the lower settings it makes everything more bumpy and less flat.

Post by: Petrarch of the VBB on January 05, 2003, 09:47:14 am: Hmm I know about OFPEC, and belive Flashpoint.org (http://www.opflashpoint.org) to be better for missions and minor mods.

anyway, any of you know how to use wrpedit?
Title: Operation flashpoint stuff.
Post by: Darkage on January 05, 2003, 10:17:59 am: I have wrpedit, but i dunno how to use it. I am actualy more interested in scripting and mission making it self then actualy making islands and other addons.

Post by: Petrarch of the VBB on January 06, 2003, 07:25:40 am: Well I have started making a missions. But I make too much use of addons, such as the AMX and Hawk.
Title: Operation flashpoint stuff.
Post by: Darkage on January 06, 2003, 08:38:32 am: I am still working on a mission, i havent used any addons. only scripts. Addons are nice but annoying when you release your mission. Or add the urls where you got the addons in the readme file.

That's the problem. I do the same with Freespace missions, I don't find the default ships/vehicles/weapons satifactory, so I use addons, thereby rendering my missions unreleasable.

Post by: Darkage on January 06, 2003, 02:34:09 pm: Well if they are small enough, then you can add them in the zip file with your mission. But i sugest you keep it under or around 1MB otherwise no one wil download it.
Title: Operation flashpoint stuff.
Post by: Petrarch of the VBB on January 07, 2003, 01:09:27 pm: Well I have neither the skills nor the effort to make any public release missions yet.

BTW, know where I can get the python sketch "How not to be seen" in OFP? There was an early version on the PCG discs about a year back, but I can't find it anywhere.

Post by: Darkage on January 09, 2003, 07:29:03 am: Just read/use some tutorials on the edditing center. You learn soon enough.

Post by: Petrarch of the VBB on January 09, 2003, 02:24:15 pm: I dont doubt. I had Flashpoint a long time ago, and got a load of tutorials, even printed them off. However, Flashpoint broke, so did my PC, so I gave the tuts to a mate, and am waiting for them back.
