Top 10 Add-ons & Missions

[miker_CLO]

Hey all,

I am curious as to which of the many add-ons you would recommend, to players new and old?

There are that many out in the community that it can be incredibly confusing to find the cream of the crop. Of course each will have their own preferences. So if you could share a list of ones to try, that would be great. It would also be interesting to know the makers of the add-on though I assume that will all be in the read-me.

Thanks for your help,

Mike

[DiFool]

Hey there!
There're lots of great addons. But I'll try to sort out the neatest.

Try these:

JAM2
BAS Rangers
ORCS Russian Federation Motorized Infantry v1.5 (High Resolution)
ICP Russian Weapon Pack v3
ICP RPG 7
KEG Russian Weapon Pack 1.1
KEG Winter Vehicles 1.0
VIT APC Pack v1.2
FK Hmmwv Pack
TOW Sig551 sniper rifle

Are You interested in a special  kind o addon ( e.g. east, west, armored, etc) ?

[miker_CLO]

I'm intersted in all add-ons, plus Mods. Mission campaigns, etc are also on my list of must finds

[hellhound]

   I am new to putting add-ons into the game so this list will be a great help Thanks

[m21man]

All of these are excellent:

1. FDF Mod 1.3 + Desert Pack

2. DG USMC/RNI Pack (IMHO, Finest weapons ever created!)

3. BAS Tonal Pack (At bottom of the page).

4. BAS TSF Units (Right below Tonal).

5. CBT Bradley Pack

6. CBT HMMWV Pack

7. CBT APC Crew Pack

8. HYK US Army Soldiers (Amazing units!)

9. KEG DXDLL (Improves color quality, adds water reflections, and more!)

There's way more good stuff, especially from BAS and CBT (If you like US units).

[El Fisho]

The project UK forces troop packs great


As are the UCE russian federation addons in the depot

[DiFool]

et cetera:

for mission making:
General Barrons Editor Update 2.2

for editing:
MakePBO
PBODecryptor

[Noon416]

Right, go for it people!

List here what you think the Top 10 Community Addons / Missions are
Provide links if you can.



For those that will ask it:
There is a deeper & very valid reason for this thread, but at this stage it's unknown if the thread maker wants it made public. So please keep to the topic, thanks.

[dmakatra]

The absolute winner for me is SEB Nam Pack 2. BAS Delta/Rangers are nice too. I can't really say that any other addon, including the wonderful, but yet so boring FDF Mod is anywhere close these two excellent addons.

You know I posted this same idea in the Staff discussion you crazy man you...

Can we post more than 10? If not.... I'll edit my post.

[Noon416]

He he, this isn't a request from me, it's a request from "someone else".

Try to keep to the Top 10 format.
Maybe just reorder your post into your Top 10, and leave the rest as "Honourable Mentions"

[El Fisho]

 ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Also I think the welsh embassy misson useing BAS delta rangers was a great game

[djackl]

My top few missions :

Operation Firelord - for ingenuity

Facile Ground - For the feeling that im in a real war
Apache Assault - for the cool soundtrack when you start the attack  ;D
Siberian Fox - I love James Bond
Take the Airport - For sheer magnitude (I still can't beat it)
Fairy Island - for a nice change

[Killerwhale]

 but I dont think you can apply these mods to your single/campaign missions, they're only used for creating missions........... am I right? ;D

[Homefry31464]

Depends... it is possible... but this isn't the place for that discussion.

[nominesine]

I need three things to play:

1) FDFmod 1.3
2) BAS Tonal/Tango-Patch (Rangers with super strength and choppers that wonÂ't fly I can do without, though)
3) General BarronÂ's editor addon

3.  Generic Opfor (really openeed ofp up to alot of interesting stories)
4.  Bas choppers (all of them really, an essential for a war story)
5.  Wanzer 1.6 (finally an atomic mech that the world has to worry about)
6.  Trouble makers mc malden (Opened ofp up to biker gangs and civillian stories)
7.  fbi police pack (west side policemen for the civs and res to buck at)
8.  DSA Bikes (essential for my story im doing)
9.  fml civillian pack (very good for casting your non playable characters)
10.  Battle Over Hokkaido Mod.
11.  HIGH-MACS mech

[Hawkins]

Since everybody posts addons, I'll post some missions. These are in no particular order, I love them all.

For SP:
In the Presence of Danger
Clear Water
Facile Ground

For MP:
Busy Day
Operation LoJack
Rat Patrol
Summan Taisto
Dyers Eve
Yokels Salvation
Tight Spot


What can I say... All are great. Some are oldies but still goodies. Don't let the age fool you. They're like vine, they get better by age.

As for addons, I don't really have a top ten. Some good addons there for us to play (with missions, of course ). Just to name a few good ones:

SEB NP2
HC's 'Nam islands
ECP
ORCS Motorized Infantry
Laser's Russian VDV
OWP M126
HYK US Infantry

[DOA]

Top Ten Addons? That is a tough call, because there are so many great ones. I will list my favorite ones as the top ten for my reply. In addition to this list I will attach the text file I use to track changes made to what I am calling my OFP "Massive" game folder. I am aware of the problems with trying to use too many addons. This massive game folder uses @Mod folders and is really for archive purposes and mission editing.
With the constant threat of Flashpoint 2 being released soon, I started this project to preserve for posterity the great effort put forth by the outstanding OFP community. I have done this with other games, creating what I would call the ultimate Quake II game folder or Half-Life, Unreal, and some other titles I have been involved in playing. Years later, and several versions later, it is nice to have the old-original and all the addons and mods that are now not so easy to find. (ie: I still mourn the passing of the outstanding OFP Addon group BAS.)  Of all the ultimate folders I have complied none come close to OFP Massive, which now weighs in at about 6.3 Gigabytes. No other "game" community has even come close to the "simulation" OFP community as far as development of Addons and Mods. This says a lot about the genius and quality of OFP. Most of these addons are still easy to find; but, as players and developers migrate to the next version, Flashpoint 2, this could change. Massive is a work in progress and I would be interested in your comments and suggestions.

1.   BAS - Everything BAS releases. (Especially their Helicopters and Tonal Package)
2.   DKMM - Everything DKM releases. (Especially the Comanche)
3.   Digital Grenade - Everything they release. (Especially the Marine Pack)
4.   kegetyseditoraddon111
5.   SEB Nam Pack 2  (Vietnam)
6.   FDF Mod (Finish Defense Mod)
7.   Invasion 1944 (World War II)
8.   COC  -  Everything (Mines, Unified Artillery, Tomahawk Pack)
9.   Falklands Mod
10.   VIT - Everything

Thank you and ultimate respect to all AddOn and MOD makers. …DOA

[CameronMcDonald]

HYK's Modern US Infantry.
ALL of Combat's APCs (for West).
Combat's Crewmen.
VIT's APCS (for East).
ORC's Motorised Russian Federation Infantry (High Res).
Laser's US Weapon Pack.
ICP's Russian Weapon Pack.
ICP's RPG Pack.
SEP's M1A2 (oh yes, drooool).

That's all the best ones I can think of. Hope you have a fast connection! I love these ones.

[dmakatra]

I can't think of 10, but here's a few.

Addons (note I don't use addons as much as some fanatics, so I'm not the best judge )
1. Kegetys Editor Upgrade - The addon. General Barron's version is better, but hey, Kegetys was first.
2. SEB Nam Pack 2 - I just love the atmosphere of this addon. Getting blown up by tripwires in the jungle while Hueys pass your head, and then the fact that you can moan about the HD weapons when you play crap. ;D
3. BAS Delta/Rangers - No other infantry models are so highly detailed. You can feel the quality when you play with them. Just the fact that every gun feels like real is enough to deserve this place.
4. FDF Mod - Only that you can drive Saab's, do HALO jumps, shoot with a Mosin-Nagant and throw molotov cocktails all in the sam mod does it for me. ;D
5. BAS Tonal - Big islands, nice islands, crappy campaign. But IMO my best MP memories comes from BAS Tonal. I dunno why but MP just feels so right with Tonal.
6. Mapfact Baracken Addon - I love bases. I love big bases. I love Baracken Addon.

Missions
1. deaddog's Lost In Nam (Beta Forum) - I just love the atmosphere of this mission. It has never hurted so much to lose a member of your platoon.
2. Sui's Airborn (Missions Depot) - This mission has atmosphere and voices. The rest is pretty straight forward. But man what an atmosphere! Never been that tense! You really feel like a paratrooper who is at the wrong place at the wrong time and in the wrong war. Even though you don't see most of your company you still feel like "shit man, they're all dead!"
3. pheonix' Hunter-Killer (Missions Depot) - The best chopper mission of all times. Should've been given a 9.
4. Sui's The Black Gap (Beta Forum) - Even though I never finished it (seems liked me and this mission is jinxed) I can just smell the quality right from the beginning. Not so much atmosphere, but this one has some serious scripting.
5. Kuro's SEALs in Nam 3 (or is it 4? Beta Forum anyway) - Now this is what an ambush should look like! To hell with BIS' unrealistic convoy attacks! Claymore über alles!
6. THobson's Abandoned Armies (Beta Forum) - You can't exactley tell one what Abandoned Armies is, you have to see for yourself...
7. Welshmanizer's Absolute Zero (Missions Depot) - Good action, good voice-acting and music, good camera scripting. An ace mission!
8. Sui's Facile Ground (Missions Depot) - You may only play it once, but it's one helluva ride. ;D
9. Devilchaser's Operation Firelord (Missions Depot) - Just to get the damn thing working is one experience. But once you do... wow...
10. 's Fairy Island (Missions Depot) - It's not well scripted, written or performed in any way. But it's a damn good idea to have the player actually use the OFP knowledge which he has aquired from many years of playing. But after you've done that and start killing Spetz Natz, it totally sucks. And the whole fairy idea is just plain stupid.

:beat: *Gets Shot* :beat:

[MachoMan]

....
1. Kegetys Editor Upgrade - The addon. General Barron's version is better, but hey, Kegetys was first.
....

Hmmm first?

Gunslinger was the first one to create an editor upgrade Armstry!

[dmakatra]

Hmmm first?

Gunslinger was the first one to create an editor upgrade Armstry!

Yes I know, but it was for 1.46 so I didn't count it.

:beat: *Gets Shot* :beat:

[Homefry31464]

Perhaps he means for Resistance?

[DBR_ONIX]

Welll,
1) Y2K3 mod - not really an addon, but oh well..
2) HYK US Soldiers - good, hmm.. what else.. Ah!
3) VME PLA Addons are amazing, the AI enhancment scripts are..  
4) CAT Afganistan Revistited - Such cool island
5) Ocean Island - Fun for a while
6) BAS OH58 - Best..heli..ever (Well, all the OH58s, including BIS's one)
7) That tracer replacement thing is good too
Mi26 - or what ever that number was.. Very nice
9) ECP - Although I use Y2K3 mod over it, it is very nice
10) Editupgrade - I ran outta ideas..

Hmm, about 7 of them are in Y2K3.. you see why I like it, no?
- Ben
[Hmm, in the time it took me to click reply, and type this, and post, the other thread got locked... Atleast firefox is better at retaining form info you type that IE.. ]

[CameronMcDonald]

My advice to anyone,

screw the mods, except ECP. Download that, and then, just download any addons you want. Works like a charm for me. I've got a Y2K3 mod all of my own.

I've started a 2004 campaign on Trinity too - it's looking good, with all them authentic addons!

C"G"McD.

[DSGizzmo]

Let me think...
 - ORCS motorized infantry, including weapons pack. great.
 - Suchey and Earls marine assualt pack, sounds and textures amazing.
 - Winter Nogujev, classic. (also saves time trying to dowload winter units)
 - TMD aircraft, Su22 and M4, weapon loadouts, work and look good

Some missions...
 - Facile Ground, original idea. keeps you playing.
 - Night of the living conscript. its got zombies ;D!
 - Hawk in Nets, ultimate espionage action.

[Mikero]

PMC Fury Campaign is my all time favorite.

253 missions +

[rado1265]

PMC Fury Campaign is my all time favorite.

253 missions +

 

It is good?  Where can I get this monster?

[sim]

I'm sure you can get it on ofp.info. Hmmm I didn't think it was that great.  :-\

[dmakatra]

I got my copy from the OFP FAQ.

www.theavonlady.org/theofpfaq/index.htm

Sure, there are 253 missions in it. But 253 of them are one hour jobs in the editor...

:beat: *Gets Shot* :beat:

[Mikero]

aw, come on people, you're being unfair, i said it was my favorite of all time, it doesn't make it great, it makes it very playable. With no addons.

[rado1265]

Well, it's not a big file, I'll download it, then I'll see ...

Thanks guys!

[john_clark]

PMC Ranger Path is also very good.  The missions in it are "different" from the normal squad missions.

Get it from PMC Tactical
http://flashpoint.nekromantix.com/

[Mikero]

Unfortunately, "Ranger Path' uses weaponpool= to carry over ammo and medical status from one mission to the next. While clever in concept it's been very poorly thought out, making some missions in the campaign virtually unplayable.

worse, it's not a campaing, just a mission pack, there's no logicality to what-happens-next.

[marshmanguy]

You said campaigns?  The Retaliation Campaign is friggin' awesome.  Go to the Avon Lady's site, the missions section, get the demo and in the review is a URl to their site I think.

[Stinky Nut Rappa]

my fav addons are

1 sebnam pack
2 uce kla
3 US marines by frandsen
4 kegyets winter kolgujev
5 gimbals planes
6 shogun napalm
7 ronaldcargorope
8 dkmm at7
9 flashpoint in the falklands m79

fav campaign operation sharkhunter

This thread, which is technically off topic, was started for a very specific purpose.    It has now fulfilled that purpose.
