What can't be done with OFP engine limits

[Liquid_Silence]

3. Missiles which will be fired from cars (not tanks) and boats

-Sure it is, in O2 and in the CPP, give it tank properties,
  thats what we are doing -

3: what about the fact that your car can now turn on the spot?

Repelling from Helos

shooting your rifle from the Helo

Avenger HMMWV

SAM's that miss your aircraft because of chaff and flares

working chaff and flares on Helos

Better clipping

Inteligent AI, who climb rooftops to get extracted by your awaiting MH-6
................................................ PRICELESS

Staying on a Ship when it moves, IE: not falling into the water when the dang LSD moves in the water

ALL CURRENTLY IMPOSSIBLE DUE TO THE OFP ENGINE!

You can repel from helicopters.  You just have to use a script.  It may not be very pretty but it does work.

[DeadMeatXM2]

you can also have working flares on any air vehicle, heck, even a bloke could have flares... They just dont work like real flares, but very close....

[Josef]

Shooting from helo could be done, just make a helo that use the attach vehicle script and attach a rifle, munted on a pintle.....

 ;DBINGO ;D

Scripts Beta Testing>Rapell MP v2

Looks nice too...

I'd like the AI would't go through walls and buildings, like they do sometimes. I hate to be killed by a dude i didn't see cuz he was inside a wall!
And then, when we want them to walk through an open gate, they simply don't do it!
I would rather prefer to have this fixed, insted of penguins and flying monkeys, or even godzilla.

The solution:

Thicker walls....  all the buildings I am making have exterior walls at least twice as thick as the BIS buildings and I hardly ever have this bug happen

they should have fattened up their walls and corresponding Geometry LOD's a bit is all

Hopefully any addon buildings will be free of this pain in the :booty: bug


BTW.... Nothing is impossible.. you just have to come up with new, creative and innovative solutions  

(having a damn good scripter in your camp sure helps too ;D)

  And we must all keep in mind that causing something to occur, and simply making the player believe it occured are two entirely seperate ideas....

there really is no need to shoot for the first idea at all....  it would be nice in an ideal situation, but when it all comes down to it.. smoke and mirrors can be just as effective a tool.

Maybe we should ask BIS thicker walls in ALL OFP buildings in the next upgrade, hehehe. ;D ;D ;D
And yes, i've used smoke and mirrors a few times.
Anyways, besides all the limitations, i think OFP is the best in this kind of game.

Thicker walls would stop the Draganov sticking out of the walls, but surely more solid (no clipping) walls would be better...

Hey ya'll. I got an idea! HOWABOUT AN UMPALUMPA ADDON? You know, they could be walking around singing that song and then all of the sudden ... Boom. They take out their 9's and start capping Russians or Americans.

[Trenchfeet]

What about having a damm Tail Gunner/Turrets on planes, there are many authors who need this for their ww2 addons

and i havent seen a lightsaber

[Crassus]

Linking/joining of two objects, e.g. a .50 cal machinegun receiver with its tripod, thus allowing for an AI or all-human machinegun team/squad.

[Mr_Shady]

I44 have done the MG/tripod/MG crew thing.

What we really need in OFP, is, I believe, hard drugs. Everon would look much prettier if I had enough LSD in me to kill an elephant... but then we'd need an extra action menu entry...

WHOA, MAN... I CAN SEE TIIIIIIIIIIME  :wow:


j/k


What I'd love to see if hand-to-hand combat, knives, bayonets, and using the hefty end of my rifle to beat the hell out of people. I know the last one is already in the game (strokegun) but it really really sucks.
