The Ultimate Addon Reference!

[fragsta]

Some of you may have seen on the official boards at Flashpoint1985.com, I am undergoing a seriously time-taking project. I plan to compile a full reference in an HTML file of all the addons currently available for Operation Flashpoint, the game we all know and love.

The introduction for the UAR is this:

This is a reference to all of the addons currently available for Operation Flashpoint. They are sorted into directories. These are:

1. General (addons that cannot be put into a category due to lack of information or just being a black sheep. Addons that fit into two or more categories will also be put here.)
2. Post-1985 (Modern Addons, and the official addons, etc.)
3. Pre-1985 (WW2, Falklands, Vietnam, etc.)
4. Futuristic (Stargate mod - if we ever see it, just generally futuristic, etc.)
5. Islands (no subcategories)
*6. The Best Addons Available (no subcategories)

Each Category has subcategories (unless otherwise stated). These are:

a) Ground Vehicles
b) Ground Infantry
c) Aircraft
d) Weapons
e) Artillery
f) Buildings
g) Objects
h) Other
i) Sea Vessels

*This is completely my opinion, so if you think that an addon that is not there should be on the list, please email me and I will have a look.

NB: The addons are in the order of their pbo name, for maximum efficiency, as this reference is designed to find out what each pbo is, because it get's confusing sometimes. In later versions of the UAR, there will be a way of selecting different search options.


Due to the immense number of addons available, some of the items may not be entirely correct, and this reference will probably not have all the items on it. If you have any information of any of the items, please email me, or if you have any comments, suggestions or corrections, email me. My address is fragsta_1001@hotmail.com!

I am telling you all this because I need your help. If you have created an addon, or you know of an addon that not many people know about, or you just generally want to give information about an addon (and get some credit in the final release of the UAR V1) then please speak in this post now!

To do this, all you have to do is copy and paste this template into a reply post, and fill in the appropriate spaces:

Filename: <name of pbo file, eg. megaplane.pbo>

Name of addon: <the name that it is given when using the mission editor, eg The Really Fast Plane>

Website it is found at: <place(s) where it can be found>

Creator: <person who made it>

OPF Version(s): <the versions which it will work with eg. 1.46-1.75>

Other Information: <description of addon, etc.)

If you have any suggestions when it is released, please tell here, or email me at fragsta_1001@hotmail.com.

If you would like to have a proper position in the UAR such as compiling a whole category or sub-category, please tell me or email me.

Thank you for your time, everyone.

regards,

Fragsta ;D

Good idea!

Think of how much this will help mission designers trying to identify strange addons and such!   ;D

I'll post all of the Everon Cartel addons when I get the list done.  

Asmo

[fragsta]

finally someone replies. Thank you so much, and It would be great to hava a list, etc., thanks.

And everyone else if you know of an addon but don't know everything about it, just say everything you know. And if even if you just have any suggestions or comments, just say. I need your input.

[Wires]

This is a very good idea and one I will help out with. I'll get together a list of the ADF mod addons as well as TBA ect.

[Grind_and_Click]

this idea rocks very hard

imagine the ease of finding stuff

says currently available, how often will updates be?

(please dont tell me it tells me  :-\)

[fragsta]

Well I'm afraid this month not many updates will be made because i have exams, but during the holiday there should be quite a few!

[asmodeus]

Thank you so much, and It would be great to hava a list, etc., thanks.

You're welcome and no problem!   ;D  

I will have that list ready soon, have been doing a lot of stuff lately and this slipped through the cracks.

You can find a complete addon list of what we are doing and have released on our progress report over at our site:

www.flashpoint1982.co.uk

[KJAM]

one thing you could do is find a site that lets you make online forms, set the categories etc, then pass the link around

[asmodeus]

@ fragsta

Have you dropped this project?

@ everyone

If fragsta has, is anyone else interested in pursuing it?

[OPERETA]

I found an Addon reference list at http://members.cox.net/johnnylump/OFPlinks/html     ...... it seems extensive,well organized and includes links.

[fragsta]

Woo....been such a long time since I've posted. My OFP messed up loads, and I stopped playing...but I'm back I guess...yes I have halted. Anyone want to carry on?

[Pipski]

I found an Addon reference list at http://members.cox.net/johnnylump/OFPlinks/html     ...... it seems extensive,well organized and includes links.

I get a 404 from that link.

[OPERETA]

Pipski is right about the 404.........  Another way of finding it is through Google; ........Search "OFPlinks" and select JohnnyLumps militaria to find the addon reference

Great idea, by the way!  :thumbsup:

Well you may notice that I'm not continuing with this project, but thanks, and keep adding them. Maybe in the future someone else will do it, or I will continue it. Then all the info can be found here. ;D

[Extreme Studios]

Yeah this would be useful if you're looking for something very specific, but it would have to be updated regualrly! I'll see if anybody on the XAS team wants to do it...

[fragsta]

Okay, how about this. I will need the attention of Noon now. OFPEC has a very good method of putting in missions and addons, and then the staff have to unpend them. Could you do this for the UAR as well, maybe? There could be a few boxes and then a 'submit' button:

TAG (leave blank if none): <drop down box with names of registered tags>
Filename: <the .pbo name not .msi>
Addon Name:
Side (East/West): <drop down box>
Category: <the category name in map editor, not drop down>
Type: <drop-down box containing 'ground infantry', 'ground vehicle', etc, and 'other'>
Website(s) found:
Comments:

There could be a search button, and if people wanted to know the filename of a crap addon that is messing up their game, they could search for it.

What'dya think then, Noon? It's your call.

[Noon416]

fragsta,

Certainly an interesting idea.

We'll look into the viability of OFPEC hosting this, and get back to you.
We're a little busy at the mo, so the reply won't be instantaneous (like tonight).

Kind regards,
Noon

[fragsta]

Sounds good. I await a response, eagerly. Anyone got any comments about this? Good idea? Any suggestions?

[Noon416]

Righty ho,

We've had a look into it (yes, it was an easier decision than we realised), and we've decided that this idea is just not feasable.


The two main factors that work against this idea are:

 - The search functionality as suggested above, already exists within the OFPEC Addon Depot, and the depot already carries the added bonus of centralising the retrieval point for these addons.

 - The staffing level required to keep this list even 95% complete and up-to-date would be very large, more than is worth the payoff in having to maintain this list.


So ... while this is a welcome suggestion, the effort and time invested in the Addons Depot means that to effectively double up on that resource is not the best solution for OFPEC.

What I would suggest is that anyone listing addons simply submit them to OFPEC and take advantage of the Addon Depots abilities.
You get all of the above suggestions, plus the ability to download them gauranteed and immediately.

[fragsta]

One thing that the addon depot does not offer is a full list of all addons available. The idea of the UAR is to organise the addon world. I know that sometimes people have the problem of not being able to find an addon they need to use another addon or mission. Also, OFPEC does not host all the addons, and will not, because OFPEC's policy, if I remember correctly, is that they only accept realistic addons, and addons with tags. There are hundreds of untagged, messed up addons out there that I'm sure people want to get rid of or organise.

[Noon416]

fragsta,

I agree that the Addon Depot doesn't have a full list of addons.

But what I said was: Why create a List and a Depot, when the Depot can serve as the List? Why create, maintain and staff a list that can be better served by somewhere like the Addon Depot?

And OFPEC's policy on Addons is simply that they comply with the TAG system (which, btw, is also a BIS requirement), and that they work.
We accept all addons as long as they meet TAG and 'it works' requirements.
ie: Check out LegaWarz as an example.

And I know that 99% of addon makers voluntarily adhere to the TAG standard anyway, so its not as much an issue as you think.


As for the untagged, messed up addons ... I'm not sure what your point is.
Surely they're not worth listing/hosting if they're not functional? If you do, you'll find people will start avoiding the List, as you're 'supplying' them with broken addons.
And if they work but aren't tagged, we have instructions guiding them how to TAG their addon. Its easily done.


So considering all the above, wouldn't you agree that using a storage Depot as the List would better serve the community?

[fragsta]

My point is that tons of people have tons of addons wasting space, with weird filenames that have no relation to their names in the game. But I respect your decision. If only the TAG system had existed when people first made addons...

[DBR_ONIX]

Whats happening with this?
If you want, it could knock up a simple list (PHP/MySQL) for the list

Interested?
Email/MSN me if you are

[The-Architect]

I don't know if you guys can help but the title of the thread leads me to believe that this is the place to ask.

I'm looking for these addons which I found in a Mission.sqm.

addOns[]=
   {
      "DWRnamgrunt",
      "DWRnammg",
      "DWRvietcong",
      "DWRvietcong2",
      "STTDesSoldierEAT",
      "LT1SealM60",
      "LT1SealCommando",
      "LT1SealSniper",
      "LT1SealMedic",
      "LT1SealGL",
      "LT1SealSniper50cal"
   };

Cheers guys.

[greg147]

Hehe...I'm good at finding these  ;D

Give me a minute, and i'll see what I can do  

[greg147]

OK, here goes

'DWRvietcong 1 and 2' I think are DWRs vietcong pack
http://ofp.gamezone.cz/index.php?showthis=2646

'DWRnammg' i'm pretty sure is his Nam M60 soldier.
http://ofp.gamezone.cz/index.php?showthis=2671

I'm not sure if that pack has the DWRnamgrunt in it, but if not, try this one  
http://ofp.gamezone.cz/index.php?showthis=2697

I think all the SEAl ones are from this pack:
http://ofp.gamezone.cz/index.php?showthis=2681

And STTDesSoldierEast would be the sodiers that come with this island:
http://ofp.gamezone.cz/index.php?showthis=462

http://ofp.gamezone.cz/index.php?showthis=7151

ZU23 is kinda hard. It could be either this one
