Dear Operation Flashpoint fans,
After seeing various reactions on the Official forums and other places, some of the full of displeasure, disrespect or offences, I believe I should clarify our goals with the tools to the community.
We had two options: to postpone release of the tools completely or to make the tools available under more restrictive conditions. Our decision was it's much better to start something immediately instead of waiting next couple of months.We believe this initiave will show first postive results in near future because more high quality freeware addons and MODs will be avaible for Flashpoint.
1) We still plan to release the tools for general public later. No exact details has been decided but the original goal remains unchanged but it will certainly happen later.
2) The tools are useless to vaste majority of people because of the complexity of modeling for Operation Flashpoint. Also, the tools in current stage are still not really polished so there's no purpose giving them to general public without some more documentation and tutorials. This is one the things we hope will be developed in conjuction with various MOD making teams. We believe it's much better way to start with more limited number of users now and extend the availability of tools later to wider audience in right time and right form.
3) We want to help to establish good level of quality of the new content for Operation Flashpoint. We believe this is the best way to ensure the standard will be pretty high.
4) The tools are result of many years of our work and the tools have very high value. We have serious concerns the tools could be used for some unauthorized commercial products or another acitivity we don't want to support at present stage.
5) The tools are intelectual property of Bohemia Interactive Studio and no users of Operation Flashpoint was granted any right to use it. We've started this initiative to make the tools available to some more people if they want to respect given condititions and limitaions of use the tools.
Thanks to ran for echo.
