Lol, damn, i deleted my whole addon directory because I thought that the i44 demo didnt work because of it, I only kept the beautiful BAS crap, and to find out they had a fault in the installer, damn....

So there are ZERO missions included with this demo that shows what the models can do.  You basically need to make your own missions.  So you just open the editor and place some units in them.

HMMM!
This is exacly what Maruk is talking about, if this is the case-- you need good SP/Coop missions to accompany the addons.  Making models for users to put in missions only caters to the hardcore.  Look at the numbers: there are over a million people with OFP but how how many of them DL addons?.  I know the models are excellent but the average, non-hardcore, player is going to take the effort to create a mission just to see the units in action.  I'm a seasoned vet and I don't want to spend the time to do this.  Also it doesn't show the addons in their best light if the user (inexperienced) has to create the stage to showcase them.

All i've seen was versus deathmatch type stuff (MoHAA).  If there are missions and I have not found them yet I apologize.

I still have not found SEB Nam missions that didn't require other addons or were very good.  Please point me to them.

All of the addons are great but, IMHO, they are only half of a mod (if "mod" doesn't stand for model).  You need something to accompany the model.

Like we said, the campaign for the demo was delayed due to bugs, it will be released after the demo.

Hey SFG, like my post? it's my little baby. I was hoping to do IV44 proud.
Hows the upload of the non-buggy version going? Hope we can have some links soon .

[Hawkins]

Seems that the server is VERY crowded! ;D 1.7kb/sec. Any chance of more mirrors? ;D

The uppload link works, but is it the buggy one?

[Frosty]

It is NOT the buggy one, it is the correct one that was fixed by SFG and reuploaded by blackmagic.
