I've seen theres going to be a party in the misson beta testing site I think there should be one here to.
can we?
-
Don't see why not..
I would organise it, but I'm really busy this weekend (Webdesign stuff)..
It's easy enough, aslong as you have a decent host (Depends on how many people showup.. <10 anyone with broadband can host [that's a max in my experince, any more it's unplable])
The only reason I'd say "no" is that adodns take longer to make.. Missions can be put together in a day or less, addons take (mostly) atleast a week to make a decent one.. They can't be edited quickly (Like a mission) for bugs.. If you see what I mean
Cool idea though :)

Missions can be put together in a day or less,
what?
It takes me a week to finish, write brief/over/descript,work out all the bugs, and all that other stuff.
and thats if you have and idea, my bigest problem is thinking of a mission idea
-
Really, a week? It takes me ages to make most of my missions. I've been working on my current one for over a month now :-[
-
well then, tell me when that is ready, if you spent that much time on it it must be tight. ;)
-
Missions can be put together in a day or less,
I struggle to complete one a year. ::) It is impossible to make a decent mission in less than 50xmission time. (Just think about the playtesting time alone.) A good mission will take considerably longer. Anything thrown together in a day is not a mission, it's just fooling around in the editor. Which is fun and worthwhile, but is not mission making.
@ in'fierie blou - I hope there will be a party here too. Not sure when though. Not till the [nothern hemisphere] summer at least.

Hi there!
Only one per year macguba? Damn guess I must wait until next year to play another mission from you... HO wait... I will be in the army so I wont be able to play... :( i am gonna cry...
Btw saw my mission Caçador Nocturno in the beta testing corner? Well that mission was made in 2 hours + 1hour of briefing/notes!!!
It is not a masterpiece but it isnt just fooling around with the editor too...
Take care

but how much time have you spent on it fixing bugs found in the beta stage?
-
Normally takes me a few months to put together a mission of good quality, im currently making a mission, been doing it for almost 2 months now and I'd say it's still only 65%.
Any back ON TOPIC, i would love to see a party here, it would be good to try out addons although people probs won't be able to get them on here as quickly as missions.

@Tyger
I am making a new version, well a totaly different mission from the original...
Now is about (me in the future ??? i guess at least the background story) some portuguese ranger and all that stuff that doesnt belong here... :o
And only took me 3 hours to correct the bugs... I guess... I didnt count them!
Back on topic...
I would LOVE a party about addons, missions yeah they are easier to make (i guess) and addons are many out there but it is always fun trying something new...
I always download missions with addons (until 45MB) so I can see what are the differences and to see whats new in this ofp world...
So a party is always welcome even if I wont participate... I cant make addons...
Take care

Maybe you can't make addons, but you can help test them. By the time we get to the party there will be a sticky topic here with some tips on how to test.
-
That I will gladly do...
But I can only download from 3am to 8am so this means Overtime.... :P
My mom wont let me but what the hell for ofp I make almost every stupid things that crosses my mind...
I sure hope this time happears in the party some portuguese and spanish troops addon...
I really need them :-/
