LOL, that's my third (fourth?) account at OFPEC, as i'm notoriously forgeting my passwords, anyway, here we go again...

Speaking of TOW, Marfy made a beautiful one on tripod, Is this particular tube among his addons that BAS agreed to finish?

Here are the pics:

when does JAM come out

[Messiah]

what part of no release dates will be given to people find difficult?

hehehe, messin with u fella - BAS have taken it to not give out release dates... why? so that u don't know, or get annoyed if they miss deadlines etc.... also takes a lot of strain off their backs - which is great... incidently, we at PUKF adopt the same approach (and we are damn lazy)  

[Tigershark]

If i remember correctly desert-storm-dude I think the little bird upgrade will be released when JAM is complete as the upgraded version will include the new SOAR pilots of which will come equiped with JAM compliant m4's.  

SilentEcho is my man...this is spot on. Nice work mate ;-)

i wonder if you guys menaged to get the real samples of gunfire sounds for JAM or it would be just "it sounds cool".

[pang]

hi folks

question regarding the OPFOR pack or weapon addons in general:

are you going to include new/ altered BIS weapons like the ak74hd in the bas_weap pack, namely rpgs?
i came up with this idea because itÂ's so cool to watch the nampack rpg2 and 7s (?) shoot at helos.

iÂ'd fit perfect with the mh60l for all those BHD fanatics out there, for example.

hope you like this suggestion
this way you wouldnÂ't need the whole nampack_wp.pbo or however its called and could still have this gameplay effect included with your bas- stuff missions

The OPFOR will be using JAM weapons (most of the default BIS weapons are coded into JAM with the ability to use JAM mags), there are also both HD and normal mags for each weapon, so yes the OPFOR will have HD weapons, as for whether they will have helo targettable RPG's, im not sure, I'll have a word with ST about how he did it and think about adding it in.

And as for sounds, they arent recordings of the real guns, we have over 70 different magazines in JAM, and each one on average fits in about 5-6 weapons, sounds have been selected on sounding somewhere near the real thing, adding a distinction between weapon types and general quality, they are by far some of the best sounds in OFP addons.

'sounds' good  ;D

[ninemili]

Can't wait to here'em.
Hope it will become a kind of a standard for all.
But still you cant make everyone happy at the same time, so i expect to hear some ppl moaning about the sounds.

To Cpt. Frostbite:
Do you guys use jam sounds in USMC beta testings?

Well, we cant please everyone so let them moan away

And no, the USMC soldiers dont have JAM integrated into their betas yet, i think the next beta will have though, as JAM has progressed quite a bit in the last few days, we have pretty much all the sounds done, all the magazine pictures but one done, and all the magazines are coded, and we have BIS units/weapons are coded into groups of soldiers using the JAM magazines, its pretty much just tweaking now and adding in the last few things.

would the JAM.pbo a big file or will it  49kb file for example

[Eviscerator]

would the JAM.pbo a big file or will it  49kb file for example

Its about 3mb zipped, contains a lot of high quality sounds and quite a few magazine pictures. Along with the firing sounds the impact/ricochet sounds have also been changed, and the cpp is about 180kb so even if it was just a cpp with BIS sounds it wouldnt be 49kb.
