OFP Tags (the old OFPEC tags) can now be 3 to 5 letters in length!
I have re-vamped and moved the Tag system, and will be promoting it across the web shortly.
We don't want to 'own' this system, but here at OFPEC we firmly believe that some sort of regulation of OFP tagging is required.
If BIS are ready to continue with their Addons At Ease initiative, then we are ready to support them ;)
So, if you have been thinking 'i'd like to register my tag, but it's too long', then now is your chance!
See About Tags (http://www.ofpec.com/tags_about.php) for more info.
Thoughts?

Can't get to page:
http://www.ofpec.com/userboard/index.php?a=sub_tag
-
Works for me...
-
Not for me. Getting a "Cannot find server or DNS Error".
Nothing fancy installed. Just behind ZoneAlarm and have no problems with any other OFPEC pages (here I am!) or other sites, for that matter.
-
I will be re-writing the submission page this weekend (next two days). The old submission process is buggy.
:-*
-
The submission system is fixed. Plz try again, Avon 8)
-
i am mistaken, or was the idea that mission editors should also adopt this method on their .pbo's to avoid conflicts?
-
You are mistaken, this is only about addons. Missions don't need to be tagged as they don't cause any conflicts (unlike addons they aren't preloaded).
-
i think that there is no harm in using tags on mission PBO's. it's up to the author.
-

Negative. Same problem.
-
Hmmm. I guess you want to register 'AVON'... ??? ;D
-
Yes, please do. :) But that doesn't solve the problem, does it? ???
-
works fine for me
-
snYpir has/will resolve the problem. The link I posted above is the old link, which was still in the Tag's info page.
I've got my tags. ;D
-
THanks guys, really appreciate this. There was no possible way you could fit WWIIEC into three letters. Thanks again.
-
how about WW2? ;)
-
Thats cheating ;)
-
what about if i want something thats only 2 letters.. :(
i may of asked a stupid question, but plz dun provide a stupid answer ;p
-
The submission system checks the length.
If its not 3 to 5, your entry will be rejected.
-
Why not just add a number or x on the end of it lis? ;)
Asmo
-
but checking the tag registry, i found at least 2 tags with only 2 letters - next to them is the phrase (non-complient)
ermmm.., whats that all about?
-
They have been copied from the old table when we didn't have our submissions checked. They are not compliant and addons that use those tags are as good as untagged addons. You can expect non-compliant tags to be deleted from the OFPEC database.
-
Why not just add a number or x on the end of it lis?
because then HC wont be HC if i add a number or an X on the end of it
-
well... as a good old cockney would say... ur shafted mate :P
-
What's HC stand for any way?
I'm sure you could extend it a little, like add the letter that comes after H, so HIC, HAC, HOC a.s.o.
-
Maybe it's HardCore ::) Anyways, you couldn't register 2 letter tags before and you can't now.
-
KT - its HellsCircus
-
What about Hells Circus Addons then?
HCA?
Or other applicable things :)
There's always a work-around in the world of OFP :)
-
Yeah, for our mod Everon Cartel=ECL ;)
-
and does it really matter? you are being judged on your addons not your tag ::)
-
blah

That's because most of the site still isn't up and running yet. Only the forums and parts of the editors depot work. You'll just have to wait until they get the site back up I'm afraid....
