Street Racer --- new campaign --- need ideas!

[OFPfreak]

I am working on a new campaign called street racer, where you can street race and be chased by cops and even buy better cars. You start off with a mini cooper but you can, in the last couple of missions, buy a ferrari! After youve played/watched my "street racer campaign preview" mission, I would suggest you post some ideas, comments and suggestions here! the preview is located in the missions depot at:

http://www.ofpec.com/missions_depot/index.php?ID=1163

it may look like a sucky preview and the only thing you can do is find a famous street racer in Saint Louis but you will see a quite cool intro and a cool outro too! Trust me my campaign is going to be better! Also I would like some idea's for both street racing and police escape missions! ;D

Hi.

Righto, I played your mission, I guess you want a review.

Intro: Very nice idea, but please learn camera.sqs. At one point all i could see was this big-ass leaf for about 20 seconds lol  . The car drving was a good idea, the slowmo bit took a lil' long.

Mission: I started and i waited for a min to see if it told me what to do, but it didnt? I drove round town and then followed this mini but nothing happened so..  :-\

Outro: Was there one?

Not to be mean or anything but this mission a great idea but the mission itself..  :-\

If you want some help with scripting and stuff send me a PM.

Dnt mean to be an arse but shudnt this be in the missions beta section .

[djackl]

well, hes lookin for ideas for it, so i suppose this is better than making two threads.

[OFPfreak]

erm well its not a beta.. its a PREVIEW ok? But yes I know its a bit sucky but when you end the campaign ill create another mission ofp nfs: cruiserz
that allows you to cruise around finding drag racers and you can race em for $500 and buy cars and side-arms for that. It sounds great but what the hell have I gotten into myself  

And I think the campaign is just going to be changed to ofp nfs: the beginning! It means operation flashpoint need for speed: the beginning for anyone who doesnt know what the game nfs looks like (i got nfsu2  ;D)"

I have finished mission 1 : the driving to the city like in the preview
I have finished mission 2 : the preview outro, the drag race
I have finished mission 3 : I have finished a cop getaway mission, and you recive a SMS message and having some "explosive" outro's
I am working on mission 4 : Getting your friend out of jail by busting those police with a mgjeep, but sadly falls apart after you finish the mission.
I am working on mission 5 : Possibly the longest race in the campaign from Saint Louis to Le Port (bottom of map)

Instructions for preview: drive to Saint Louis just above your current city La Trinite and if you cant find it look it up on the map. You should find some people stand in the garden 1 man with 2 ladies and 2 man watching him as body guards, your so called friend Tom Turbo, nicknamed "drag racer". Then if you get out of your car and walk into that place you should see a nice outro.  You have to find the place yourself but it is somewhere in the bottom right corner of Saint Louis

Oh and sorry bout my camera skills but I dont even know how to create a camera and im not going to try to till I find the effect to either 1 of these:
zoom out ; target a person and go al the way on the otherside of the map and target another without just going in a flash (meaning the camera flies to target)

My first uploaded mission on this site that didnt exceed 50kb so I didnt have to put it on freewebs ;D..

I am working on another campaign but it currently seems to be in a "halt" for this campaign.. Its also a beautiful campaign.. Especially the first weird mission with the "obstacel course" and the cool car vs car chases

[OFPfreak]

pff ok I need ideas for any upcoming police getaways or street races.. Tell from where to where, what car, and type (police chase/race)

Idea's plz Peepz

current sms message from mission 4:
[shadow=red,left,300]SMS MESSAGE:[/shadow]Im starfing in jail dude! Get me out! That jeep with machine gun is in real wreckage status and will fall apart when you finish the mission.. I should have maintanced it but anyway, my friend should be at the bottom right of town where we first met.. 1 of my body guards!

[OFPfreak]

Yes, the campaign has been renamed to OFP NFS: The Beginning and is FINISHED   ;D. It is a 5 mission campaign and it is ALLOT better than the preview itself! Upcoming campaign OFP NFS: Getaway Time! But this is gonna take a while.. I firstly want some peepz downloading the campaign! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

SPECIAL NOTE: I have tested my campaign a few times and I have noticed the black-out endings were you need to save, exit out the missions, and get in. This will stop the black-out from staying but it will also make you miss out on some very beautiful outro's that explain how the hell you got a sport car and how you won the races and how you got him out of jail. Also the jail mission where you can maybe see the green mini cooper in the tall grass. A captive (drag racer) is supposed to go in there but im affraid those cops shoot him. I will try to fix all these bugs and overwrite the current campaign. I have no time to do this now but Ill definatly do this tomorrow. Anyway is anyone actually wanting to play OFP NFS: Getaway Time yet ;D?

Anyway is anyone actually wanting to play OFP NFS: Getaway Time yet ;D? is what im interested in too

[SilentHunter_764]

Righto, Sounds like its going good. you really need to learn camera scripting though. its not hard! Whats cars r u gonna use in ur campaign?

I rekon the BMW M3 or something would be cool  ;D

LK

[OFPfreak]

I think Im going to use a couple of custom cars and maybe some out the ferrari pack. Im waiting for a car to be finished that has nitro. There is a nitro script but that allows you to fly off the land lolz. Im atleast using these cars:

Jaguar  XJ-220
Corvette Stingray Grand Sport
BMW M5 (sorry I didnt have the BMW m3 and this 1 looks nice as well)
Subaru Impreza
Some ferraris out of the ferrary pack

I think theres some more cars going to be in the campaign becuase im going to try to make as much OFP NFS campaigns as possible altough I need some ideas! If you want to use any other car just tell me what 1 but I cant make all the cars in 1 campaign so you'll have to wait for the next after the pack of cars Ive just called out. In the game you currently used 4 cars so I think the list above is going to be used for 2 whole campaigns..
I hope you like my campaign

[OFPfreak]

No, camera.sqs is too hard for me  .. zoom in S and setacctime 0.1 can mix very well when you go to another place the next 0.5 second if you know what I mean. OFP NFS: The Beginning is now anti-bug mode so I will remove most common bugs and the campaign will turn into v1.1! ;D

[Lean Bear]

When you've finished (and perfected ;D) your campaign, perhaps you could make an MP mission of the same genre.

You could have a few meeting places round an island where players who joined the game go and chat and challenge eachother to races (and maybe even bet etc.).

You could also include the option to be a policeman - who has to find these locations and arrest the street racers - who then go to another meeting point that the cops don't know about (team chat etc.) and race there. Repeat until time limit.

[OFPfreak]

Yes like I posted in eh.. reply something I may.. but making it online is indeed a good idea. I dont even know how to make respawn scripts so basically I can create the mission and somone TOTALLY has to do his best to do the scripts lolz  ;D.. good old lazy me  ;D

Yes it is about to get uploaded to v1.1 and you can now view some outros that were hidden by a serious bug causing the black-outs to make the game stay at that screen... Some outros will explain how you got a whit sport car after the jeep with MG and how it fell apart...

There have been made a few notes in the readme about the camera.sqs and the bugs so I recommend you to view it.

Maybe I can make a team with OFP NFS but I wonder if anyone wants to join already. Ive made 1 vacancy in the  recruitment depot but eh... would be cool  ;D

Im designing the picture (logo) of the campaign but im not sure how to use the pic.paa thingy. If somone can guide me to a tutorial on the forum or editor's depot or give it to me now it would be nice.

I really recommend you to re-download this version and delete the other.

P.S: did anyone finish the campaign and have any comments about it? (please comment after finishing the new version). I will be soon either tommorrow or the day after starting the new campaign OFP: Getaway Time

please post a story so I get some ideas and I will possibly credit you on the ending exept when its a cra**y 1.

Its like the community missions's idea ;D
blue=sentences spoken. (just words e.g. You: test test test!)
Red=races
Green=cop getaways
Orange= cutscene stuff (nothing to do with camera.sqs!)

[OFPfreak]

If anyone wants voices in the campaign you can either volunteer yourself to make voices or just leave it like it is. It love it if you do and you would also be credited with special thanks. You will need to use your own tools and when you think you got some good voices you send them to me to johan@rensdata.com
altough I dont know how to extract the files I think you need to put the thing in the description.ext with possibly a script editor or by hand. Sorry for my laziness but its actually not laziness but lack of skill!  ... but its going to be a great campaign if people help  

[Triggerhappy]

COPIER!!!!!!
but it would help if you gave something to start it off with
