Yes... all the guns are here, there are Argentinian mechanized infantry, British Airborne, a 105mm recoilless rifle and a 5ton truck for Argentina.

Overall, I'm HIGHLY impressed. Textures are all of a very good quality, I'm very fond of the weapons (they have good sounds) and I think they've done some really creative, top-notch stuff here.

Up until now, I'd just kind of forgotten about these guys and concentrated on what the other Falklands mod team was doing, but I am really happy to have found out that these guys are doing a great job. I'm looking forward to the rest of the stuff!

Well, i must thank you all guys for the replys to this topic. specially to Hellfish6.2 we are glad we surpriced you. ;)
As i wrote at BIS forum, we left the config.cpp open so you can edit the side of the unit. In Argentina (where all the team members are from) England is at East, that's the only reason for that.
Please, feel free to post any feedback.

i have some questions, is that the final island/map? are you making it more to scale? are you adding the rest of the islands to it?

Hi KevBaz, always a pleasure to see you.
It is not the final island (just imagine to make a complete campaign in those few houses...). Its just a small (and uncomplete) portin of 1km x 1km (aprox) of the final island. I said uncomplete because we'll have to place some more houses we are developing (you can see an example, the globe hotel is in there)
The size of the island was a really difficult decition to make. We decided to make one island (scaled 1:10 aprox) instead of 6 or 7 maps for several reasons.
a)Time.
b)There will be some missions that will use both islands, Soledad and gran Malvina. There's a pic of the final map in the editor view in our page.
c)We don't like the end of the island when it's cutted like in West Leach Spring.
d)The combats will be scaled too. As far as i can tell we cannot make a 400 unit mission and play it decently...
For your last question, lets say we'll have a surprice for the final release ;)

1 question for the Malvina Mod team and Falkhlands Team why you guys don't exchange models addons I am sure you guys will win alot of time  ;)
Don't get me wrong I am NOT saying make it 1 MOD but give each other some models addons  ;)
What about that ???

Do I need any special programs to edit the config.cpp? I'm not a wizz kid when it comes to PC programming and stuff like that, so any hints on ho to do it would be great. My e-mail is visible, so any replies could be sent there.

Back on topic:
Looking forward to trying out this demo, and to the final release :)

This has already been discussed quite a bit and a decision was made many months ago that each mod would go its own way for various reasons.

The idea is great as One team could have done all the Argentine Kit and the other the British kit and then each team coulg go its own own way in the missions and campaign.

As said this isint happening but we have no conflict with each other and this will produce 2 mods based on each sides perception of the war.

Lt_Phoenix:
Just use the notepad to edit the cpp.

Ash was really clear about this a few months ago. I'm not saying it can not be done. People change.

Take a look at this topic if you want the complete story.
