Hi -
I'm looking for a ship thats capable of transporting vehicles such as MBTs of APCs... I need it for a beach landing-mission.
Do you know of such an add on?
Well if there isn't any to date, this would be a nice add on to have - further improving the variety of missions.
-
well there is an add on i d/led, you CANT transport amphibious craft or boat ON it, but you can park them inside in a little bay or on a ramp then get off and walk around the ship, you can also land helicopters on the deck
the addon is LSD and i found it at ATWAR
-
LSD Ashland isnt it?
-
Yeah, there's an LSD (Landing Ship Dock) addon, but you need OFP v1.75+ for it :P, and the interiors suck >:(. But you can drive M113s and stuff out of the main bay :D.
Go to http://www.ofp.info/talesofwar/ if you want it. Look in the vehicles section, cuz they also got AAV7 which goes well with the LSD ::).
-
Landing Craft are under development, but as mentioned there are problems gettign vehicles to stay with the craft when they move (in simple ofp wont allow it, it has to be scripted)
-
with 1.91 the LSD doesnt work... or at least for me it has ceased to want to work.

Could the script from the BAS MH-47 be modified to work with ships? :-\
-
yeah why wouldnt the BAS "strap down" script thingy work with other transport vehicles?
-
Possibly, but scripting is something that at this time I know little about.
-
Same here, just an idea that popped into my head
-
Well, I for this time just need the landing craft as part of the scenery. It doesn't have to move... A proper working landing craft would open up new possibilities though.
I just checked screenies of LSD and it looks fine; I hope, I can use it running OFP V1.91...
-
You could try Marcel's Higgins Boat, can't remeber if he updated it so that the ramp drops though :-\
-
where can I find it??
-
Have a look on www.opflashpoint.org in the addon section under vehicles.
-
Ah okay, thanks. It's but only for infantry, isn't it?
I'll the TOW dock landing ship a try.
-
yeah the LSD i mentioned is a good one for both static and Semi interactive, though i do think the ai has trouble landing on it not woo sure
-

BAS trick works for any transport vehicle... You just need to define a vehicle as a soldier and make moveincargo. Well you have to make sure, that this unit gets into the right cargo position.
It works for the AEF train, too. ;D
-
I tried the LSD and it works with V1.91!
Graphics are fair enough, it has a moving radar; only the flags seem to be static which looks a bit funny.
I also encountered the mentioned problems with running through walls / falling through floor. In fact I couldn't really enter the ship's cargo compartment...
These issues weren't relevant for my purposes since I need the ship for scenery. I think a proper working cargo ship would be nice though...
-
mooseman... thats why i said it doesnt work in 1.91 - when it was first released it was very possible to enter the wet dock and other such stuff without falling through the floor... it needs updating ::)
-
Ah okay... that would be nice indeed...
Well I hope, the update it some time...
Another thing is when you drive the boat, the third person perspective is not too helpful. Same holds true for the LST... You should have some sort of far view on the boat...
