Title: Operation Iraqi Freedom Campaign
Post by: hooahman on 24 May 2003, 21:40:46
Hi,

I am making an Operation Iraqi Freedom camapign!  I am terrible with description.ext stuff though!  Would anyone like to help me write a description.ext for my campaign and missions (for weapon selections, ect.)?  I have not yet completed all the missions, but I have them all planned out.  Now I just have to make them ;D.  If anyone also has some mission ideas please post them here!  Thanks guys.

like the man said, study. what's wrong with people, they don't want to do any of the work anymore?

a big problem is that the addons just aren't out there.

Guys I already have the mission ideas/plans.  I was just wondering if anyone wanted me to make certain missions.  Also, can someone help me in writing description.ext files?  I've read the tutorials, but I just don't understand them.  Thanks!

didn't I help you with description.ext files earlier.  Wait, that wasn't you.  Anyways, Study.  And phantom, I may be very talented and stuff but you know gentlemen, i'm only 16, most people consider a man to be 18  ;)  A prep that plays computer games and builds them, isn't that something  :P

But wait, most people in the U.S. are men at this age.  Oh ya, how dumb of me.  :P

Guys I already said: I have my missions for the campaign!  I was just wondeering if anyone wanted a specific mission in it(Basra, etc).  

one note: through the campaign YOU are INFANTRY ONLY. no pilots, tank crew, etc.
Title: Re:Operation Iraqi Freedom Campaign
Post by: bmgarcangel on 25 May 2003, 04:45:04
Infrantry but with tank support.  Basra YES!1  Basra!!  But one thing is, if its Basra then you'll have to have British soldiers and tanks because the British took that town, not Americans.    
Title: Re:Operation Iraqi Freedom Campaign
Post by: hooahman on 25 May 2003, 04:50:58
I have British infantry (desert) units already ;D.  I still have not found a British tank w/ desert camo however...

BMGARCANGEL <Brendan> would you mind helping me write a description.ext for my missions?  I currently do not need them, but when I finish all the missions would you mind writing the description.ext files?  Thanks (Do you have AIM or Yahoo Messenger? If so can you post them or message me them?)
Title: Re:Operation Iraqi Freedom Campaign
Post by: bmgarcangel on 25 May 2003, 04:54:36
I have yahoo! instant messenging.  My screen name is bmgarcangel     whats yours.  


Buy the way, its easy to use description.ext files.  Just copy one from mission to mission and use them as templates.  
Title: Re:Operation Iraqi Freedom Campaign
Post by: hooahman on 25 May 2003, 05:11:45
@Brendan
I'm on YM atm.  Sign on.

@all
I have a beta version of the first mission in my campaign in the betamissions section of the forums. Tell me what you think.
Note:It is not the final version! It is a really simple version.

Post by: Phantom on 25 May 2003, 05:15:23
bmcaecangel, i was referring to hooahman. it seemed like he was asking for ideas. but he's cleared that up.
and i thought that basra would've been an obvious mission choice. what about the aussies at the al asard airfield. there's a desert sas addon out there somewhere. and it'd be awesome
Title: Re:Operation Iraqi Freedom Campaign
Post by: hooahman on 25 May 2003, 05:22:13
@Phantom
I have the SAS (desert) addon.  Its real nice. Basra was a mission choice.  I was using it as an example.  ;)
Title: Re:Operation Iraqi Freedom Campaign
Post by: bmgarcangel on 25 May 2003, 05:24:45
he used desert Malden, why?  
Title: Re:Operation Iraqi Freedom Campaign
Post by: Phantom on 25 May 2003, 05:54:08
is it the aussie one, or a brit one.
i've got a damn nice brit one if u want it
Title: Re:Operation Iraqi Freedom Campaign
Post by: hooahman on 25 May 2003, 06:05:55
It's BIB's British SAS I think. I'm sure it's brit though.
I also have som regular brit infantry, paratroopers, etc if you want me to send em to ya? Could u send me the one ur talking about also? (if it isn't a big file send it 2 deltateam8@yahoo.com)Thanks  
Title: Re:Operation Iraqi Freedom Campaign
Post by: bmgarcangel on 25 May 2003, 06:07:02
Yes, yes, I want it please.  Send it to my email.  Check my profile for my yahoo! email addresss and email it there.  Don't email it to my MSN one ok Phantom.  

Thanks man.

@BMGARCANGEL
I have found how to create my own islands ;D!!!  Now I will not have to use Desert Malden.  I am going to make an island like Iraq.  

@all
If anyone would like to help me make the island (putting names of cities, hills, etc.) post here.  Thanks
Title: Re:Operation Iraqi Freedom Campaign
Post by: bmgarcangel on 25 May 2003, 23:42:31
I'll scan a map for you
Title: Re:Operation Iraqi Freedom Campaign
Post by: hooahman on 26 May 2003, 00:00:46
I have shaped the island already.  I am 1/5 done texturing it.  Don't worry about the map.  I have a good one on the web I found.  The map will have only the major cities (Basra, Baghdad, Tikrit, Mosul, etc).  Around 10-12 in all.  Go on YM if you see this by 3pm pacific time.
Title: Re:Operation Iraqi Freedom Campaign
Post by: bmgarcangel on 26 May 2003, 00:04:22
Dude, you gota be shitting me.  Do you really know how big Baghdad is?  Hmm, do you.  Its huge ass city.  If you created baghdad or any of the other cities it'll be huge.  And you'll have to make it look professional too you know.  
Title: Re:Operation Iraqi Freedom Campaign
Post by: hooahman on 26 May 2003, 00:08:42
Have you seen any of the Somalia maps?  The "Baghdad" won't be as big as the real Baghdad.  That would be impossible.  I am going to make Baghdad 3x-7x bigger than Montignac.  It won't be huge, but enough for my missions.
Title: Re:Operation Iraqi Freedom Campaign
Post by: bmgarcangel on 26 May 2003, 00:11:03
Thats small as hell dude.  It won't be realistic you know.  You should see the Nogova Lipany city, its the biggest that Bohemia made. But I know others have made
bigger.
Title: Re:Operation Iraqi Freedom Campaign
Post by: hooahman on 26 May 2003, 00:15:14
Ok how big should I make it?  After I finish texturing the map  I'll go into OFP and look at Lipany.  Decide how big Baghdad should be.  If you look in WRPEDIT, Baghdad will be around 6x6 cells.
Title: Re:Operation Iraqi Freedom Campaign
Post by: Phantom on 26 May 2003, 00:20:43
you've got the baghdad problem, AND the fact that tikrit and mosul are the opposite side of the country from basra, baghdad is smack dab in the middle. are you gonna have some hugely congested map?
Title: Re:Operation Iraqi Freedom Campaign
Post by: bmgarcangel on 26 May 2003, 00:24:46
thats what i was wondering too.  Look, just build Baghdad and the closest city next to it along with a highway.  Build a big baghdad taking most of the map up and make it detail.  Have the river going through it too.  Then people would be impressed.  Make different islands for the Basra  one.
Title: Re:Operation Iraqi Freedom Campaign
Post by: hooahman on 26 May 2003, 00:33:12
Then I deffinatley need some help...making the maps that is ;)
Title: Re:Operation Iraqi Freedom Campaign
Post by: bmgarcangel on 26 May 2003, 02:02:07
Find a island, download it, if it look professionally done then go to the readme and get the makers email and ask him for help on your island.  Anyways dude, like you just begun making islands so don't rush into things  ;)
Title: Re:Operation Iraqi Freedom Campaign
Post by: hooahman on 26 May 2003, 03:32:22
That is a good idea BMGARCANGEL.  I spent like 2 hours on the map and now when I try to re-open it in wrpedit it says performed an illegal operation >:(.  I was even 1/4 way done anyways.  I think I'll post a topic in the wrpedit section for help.

hooahman, I got some people that can build the most detailed Baghdad island for you.  But they're Russian and I can only speak to them through a translator program.  You want it and there IM address>?
Title: Re:Operation Iraqi Freedom Campaign
Post by: hooahman on 26 May 2003, 07:31:45
That would be great BMG!  I could definatley use their help  
Title: Re:Operation Iraqi Freedom Campaign
Post by: bmgarcangel on 26 May 2003, 18:19:10
Hooahman, go to

http://www.operationflashpoint.cz

and go to the island section.  Find one island there, download it, and then go to the readme and email the person who made the island.  If the island is good that is.

Ask the person to help you out.  

Surely you have desert malden right.  Ask the people who made that for help  ;)
Title: Re:Operation Iraqi Freedom Campaign
Post by: Phantom on 27 May 2003, 08:04:11
why?
they didn't re-model the actual island terrain. just the ground texture and trees and rocks.

Shaggy,

No question is too short for a new thread. :)
And we'd rather you create a new thread, than post off-topic in another one.

So please pursue this question in its own new thread, otherwise you run the risk of drawing this thread off-topic and having it locked down.

Thanks.
