SEB Nam Pack 2.0

[devil,s guard]

will the next load of addons go over the top of the current addons or do we have to delete and install again the island and troops and choppers.if they go over the top of the current troops dose that mean all the missions that were made will still work.

Nam Pack 2 will overwrite the units from Nam Pack 1, so that missions made with the first pack will still work with the 2nd.

Where for some reason this is not possible (unlikely), notes will be included with details about which classnames/units are affected to allow easy editing of existing missions.

The only issue will be that OFP: Resistance 1.75+ will be needed for Nam Pack 2.

Ebud, those trees you showed were similar to what I had in mind in that post I wrote (ofp nursery) that you replied to.  Nice and tall so we can get true triple canopy jungle.  Are any other trees in the works?  Its going to be awhile before I crack oxygen open again as school work is killing me right now and I have a killer script project I am completing that should delight the ofp community when it's done.  I wanted to concentrate on tropical vegetation, especially the triple canopy stuff.  My goal was to make taller trees with a broad canopy to really get a good forest top going.  Also Saw Palmettos and various types of Palms.  Vines and creepers like Bougainevillea as well as Elephant Grass, Rice Shoots, really tall Bamboo stalks and Cypress Trees.  You get the picture!    I have a nice little Delta map I've been toying with that has rice paddies and lots of canals running off of a main river.  It has nice banks along the canals and lots of low hills and ridges with valleys and low lying areas in between (hopefully these can be filled with grass).  If you want I could send you the .wrp file to have a look at.

Thanks... please do send it. I'd love to see what you've done. I really only spent about an hour on the trees and such... just to see what could happen. When things settle down, I'd really like to rework some forest areas, grassland areas, nipa palm areas, mangrove areas, etc. By areas I mean p3ds such as the forest shapes, with multiple objects in one p3d. For a delta area where the variation in terrain is very small, you could make quite a few types of "area" p3ds for jungle, swamps, etc and not worry about the terrain height screwing it up, such as having parts of forests floating.

If anyone who's reading this thread knows a bit of botany and could find photos of the exact types of plants that "should" be made, post here. I already have coconut palms, nipa palm, various ferns, bananna plants, grass, elephant grass, rice shoots and 1-2 large trees. Other than that, things such as bushes, shrubs etc  I need to know about. A variety would help.

Are there new weapons like SKS, PPSH41, MAT49, RPD and Chikom 56 for Vietcong and NVA? Could you tell how long till the pack is going to be released? I think I will eat my head if it is not going to be released soon. ;D

Great work on those new units. I always wondered why there weren't any of those weird yellow stick hats (dont know the real name of those) on old pack.

[strumgewehren]

someone mentioned a while ago working on animating the bolt of the sks for this pack.  can someone give me some pointers on how to do so... im working on a gun of my own and want to animate it... i already asked this question in the o2 room but have recieved no responses.. please help thanks

I hope your hungry

The hats couldn't be made because Oxygen was not released at the time.

devil,s guard.... do you have any pics? I'll search and see what i come up with. Thanks for the info. Your right.... no matter what, I don't think you can make a true jungle experience with OFP, it would just take too much computer horsepower to run the thing with all of the plants, undergrowth, spiderwebs, top cover, etc you'd need to add, but we'll try. There are a couple games on the horizon that look like they do it well. The new Deadly Dozen and Vietcong. From the screenshots I've seen, those two look really good as far as jungle ops go. The new Ghost recon expansion was nice, but the "jungle" was a bit too sparse. It looked great, but a few ferns and palms does not a  jungle make.

no i have no pics of gimpy or fire vine but i can tell u what there feel like.its like *******   ****************             *                               ****************************************

Does this look like what your talking about?

[devil,s guard]

no fire vine hangs from the canopy like any over vine.but when it rubs your skin it burns like ****.it may just be a aussie army jungle name.gimpy leaf is a big spade shaped leaf and wait-a-while hangs from the canopy and has hundreds of hook shaped spikes that will stop a man from walking with a 50kg pack on his back.it tears your cams off you body if u try to force your way through.

the gimpy leaf has hundreds of hollow like sporrs, that when they touch the skin, it act like a funnel and allows the air to get to the nerves in the skin.we think its the same as pioson ivey but this stuff lives in the jungle

cant remember what fire vine looked like but it burns preety bad for a couple of days.ill ask the maedic if there have any info and pic and send them to u

and no thats not the fire vine that burnt me.that just some garden varity.

the 1 thing u never c in any war movie is the glo the jungle has at night,from the moss and the fire flys and over bugs, an if it dos nt glo u cant c your hand in front of your face.because there is no light getting to the floor of the jungle at night, and in the day it alway like its overcast.
it rare u c the sun at all.the only thing u c non stop is the j and the leeches

Will the new Nam Pack include a regular M14, and a modified M14 with a bipod, which is used as a machinegun/stuck on full auto. The Marine doctrine was still pretty much WW2-style, the fire team was modelled around a single Automatic weapon, with two other riflemen and a team leader.

can i post my missions on this
