New OFPEC site Idea

[NightJay0044]

MacGuba~
Thank you very much for your approval. Not a problem about making the first couple of tutorials. Then I can design them how exactly I want them to be and I'll probably need some help, with HTML and java if java has to be used. Also, it doesn't have to override the existing editors section. It can be a completely new section. Also, I think I'm going to try and recruit some people in the recruitment depot for some help. I don't know a deadline on when I'll get you the first 2 tutorials on this, but the first tutorial is going to be introducing mission editing, and then the 2nd one will be introducing "units". And how to use them, this will be a great resource for this site, thanks again, I'll get to work on it, and any more comments or ideas are still being accepted.

nice idea

I believe this is where I'm supposed to say good idea, but.. at the moment.. not enough resources.. OFP2.. at the end of the day..


If you can get the first couple of tutorials done, we can then see how it will all fit together and what needs doing.
Until then, it's a little hard to estimate the workload required, so I won't pass judgement till then.

Okay, yeah I'll get the first couple under way. I can't say an estimate time on how long it will take. Thanks you guys for your persmission again. Now to sort out some confusing.

Some people have said they "dont like the interactive part". As in the progress reports about us emailing you on your progress and things, and sending you missions to make to see how far you are. It's actually not required, it would be "YOUR" choice if you want to keep track of your progresss, other wise, you don't have to bother with it. Hope we got that clear.

Now we all know that mission editing for "some" people can be quite difficult.

LOL, you can say that again.
Mission building for me has become a pain in the areosol, havin so many ideas for missions but bein unable to realise them with my limited editing skills is a bummer.
I hope your ideas pay off coz at the mo' I'm treadin water with the mission building thingywotsit.
Failin that, a place here at OFPEC where you can put your ideas forward for the experts to have a go at realising your ideas, whilst saving you your sanity.

Good luck dude

Mission Ideas Board

[veston pants]

Ow do Mr. GB.
I was wondering if you could possibly do me a really big favour?
I'm havin trouble with adding soundfiles to my intro.
I've read bloodmixers tute and pophuredoffs tute, followed them pretty much to the letter. I've got all the soundfiles I need, renamed and put through the wav 2 lip converter and the ogg files in the sound folder, I've done the description.ext aswell but the darn thing still won't have a go.
Is it possible to upload an intro to the mission beta board so you could take a look and see what I'm dong wrong?
I really need to get this thing to work.
Any help would be muchly appreciated.

Thanks.

Could you post a detailed outline of the topics at hand?

While a lot of stuff has been posted before, generally it has been scattered stickynote stuff, not comprehensive manual stuff. Half the so-called uber-manual is only screendumps from here anyways.

One of the problems you will run into is OFP itself. There are so many ways to do something, that you are going to have to abstract quite aways back.

Instead of sections like

How to setpos a helicopter with guys inside...

You'll need more of

How to setpos, with examples...

With subtopics like

...and keep it there...

And if the reader can't figure out that _anyvehicle == object, that's a problem that you don't need to worry about.

I havent really had time to go over all the advanced topics of mission editing..I pretty much know the basics so far which is pretty easy. These topics are..such as...Units...Groups..waypoints..triggers..syncr...markers...Then moving onto advanced...Gamelogics, scripting, cam scripting, all that fun stuff..But i do need help on this project..anybody who is willing to email me because yes it was my idea, but doesn't mean im talented at every part of it.. ;D, talk to everyone later..Thanks..
