WW4 Modpack 1

Sanctuary has been working hard on his WW4 modpack and has gone through the beta stage to version 1 and has released it on the BI forums.

The WW4 modpack goal is to provide highly optimised troops and their weaponry to build massive battles without most addons usual performance hit : as few textures as possible, nearly everything in merged textures, optimised lod system, selections and polycount in very reasonnable amount without too much details cluttering the model, etc..

The ambition is to make the WW4 mod the biggest infantry mod ever done for OFP. Currently the goal is probably already met as in the WW4 Modpack 1.0 there are 19 different army corps ! (and more in the work) and each of those corps are coming in desert and woodland version to provide even more variation and mission possibilities.



Sanctuary has been also releasing beta versions of upcoming content of the mod, including new armor values, new effects and updated islands in the same thread. Keep an eye on it for the latest news!

More info, including installation instructions of the mod at the BI forum thread.

WWIIEC machinegun animations WIP

Fab. from the World War II Engineer Corps has posted some screenshots of their machinegun animations on the BI forums.

The bipod anims are activated via script, puting the player/AI into a set of anims where movements is restricted. As you can see the dying/reloading anims are also done, so when the soldier is animated, the weapon does not flip on the side but looks like it's actually resting on the bipod. This is available for the MG34, MG42 and british Bren.



See the last few pages of the forum thread for more WIP screenshots and information of the mod.

Dead? Not quite.

It's been quite a while since the last newspost here and news of Operation Flashpoint is being submited very rarely nowadays. Most of the site team has moved on to the ArmA scene at: ArmedAssault.info, our sister site and Bohemia Interactive, the creators of Operation Flashpoint, are closing up with their newest title: ARMA II. But does this mean that Operation Flashpoint is dying? Not quite.

There is still some activity in the community - surprisingly a lot of game servers are still running with decent amount of players; good quality mods, addons and missions are still being worked on and released. Head over to the renewed Bohemia Interactive forums for most of the latest modding news, being the official forum for Operation Flashpoint. We would also suggest, if you're still in the modding scenes of Operation Flashpoint, to submit your work there for the most attention.

Even though Operation Flashpoint is a pretty old game and, as mentioned, Bohemia Interactive are closing up with their newest game, Operation Flashpoint shouldn't be left to die. It has its very unique gameplaying experience which no other game beats. It's not always about the graphics, but the gameplay.

We'll be trying to update the site more regularly with the latest Operation Flashpoint community news from now on to show you that Operation Flashpoint is still alive and kicking. And remember - we're still open to new employees. If you wish to help us manage the site, contact us for further information.

Texel Island, A Subtropical Island

HighWire released his good looking Texel island.

It's finished and available. It doesn't depend on other add-ons (although it uses Ebud's tropical nature stuff; proper credit has been given!;)), and has a few missions on board. I hope you can enjoy this release as much as I had making it. :)

In order for the intro cinematics to work, you need to install them into the ORIGINAL ADDONS folder. NOT the folder inside RES. :)

You can download it here : BI Forums

Dara's island, screenshots

Dara from Croatia has sent us some screenshots of a nice and detailed map he is creating.

It's about 80% finished, i stil have som area's to complete.The map will have three tipe of terrain, Green vegetation, desert and snow...

I like when my game runs smooth, so i balanced the map bethwean preformance and look...I used a Winter Everon addons to make a winter part of the map, the rest are original OFP objects.

I have been working like crazzy for the last year, and i am very happy with the results.The map was carefully built and every location is unique, i didn't want to use copy paste solution, that way every part of the map whoud look the same... I like makeing mission's, but you can make a good mission if you dont have good locations. Big credit to the WRP tool makers, great tool for making maps!!! Il keep you posted!
