Ballistic Addon Studios Update Thread

[m21man]

What's your GHz/MHz ? If you're running on a lower end system, then it can be damn near impossible to actually click on the map in the editor.

I have a question for the upcoming rangers/deltas update.

Will there be new animations for the grips on the rifles and such?
(besides the animations for the littlebirds)

these islands and units are awesome!!!! and they run fine on my computer, the only problem for me was that it took ten hours to d/l!

For those having lag problems in the mission editor here are a few suggestions.

1) Turn your terrain detail to Low (even if it's for the mission editing, you can turn it up later)

2) Go into the flashpoint preferences and in the texture tab change the texture sizes down.

eg:
cockpits and objects from 2048x2048 to 1024x1024
(i don't think any addon makers are using 2048 texture sizes so you should notice no difference)

landscape to 512x512
(as above I dont think any addon maker islands are using texures larger than 512x512)

This should help in the mission editor. Don't forget that Tonal is a 512x512 island meaning it has 262,144 land points that need to be calculated as opposed to the Nogova 256x256 (65536 land points)

Adjust figures depending on your specs (the above work fine on a AMD2100 ,512 RAM, GFTi4200 64meg

SEAL reporting in.  Huzzah!

I'm back after riding a motorcycle aimlessly through Tonal island.  ;D

*SEAL edits out bridge problems  ;D*

This island is way cool.   *wonders where that headbanging smilie went*

Question: are you guys considering putting the fn Mk 48 Mod 0 in the next Delta/Ranger pack.  It's a cut-down SF version of the M240 which came into dervice very recently.

[m21man]

Seal84, problems with bridges are frequently caused by the terrain detail setting. Those bridges looked fine to me on the "Normal" setting.

Edit - Tonal doesn't seem to work with the Very High setting, it crashed my comp when I tried this (1 GB RAM). Of course, it looks great without that comically bumpy terrain that you get with the "Very High" setting.

[SEAL84]

Hmmm....my terrain detail was actually set to "very low" 'cause I'm on a laptop...that's probably the cause of it then?

[max_killer_payne]

I just wanna say:

WOW

[/size]  ;D  

That island is very impressive, so are the new addons  , I experienced very little lag, how did you pull that off!! ;D  

Fantastic work guys, you should get a medal  ;D

Keep the good work coming!  ;D
Oh and the intro for the first mission of Insurgency, AMAZING

From all you compliments it must be a GODDESS of a addon. I hope my 28.8ker kan take 115mb.
Well its 10:19 lets see wat ime it will finsh.  :-\

[m21man]

28.8 kbps ?!? It'll take you two nights to download at that rate. It's definitely worth the time, though.

Hey BAS,

Another Damn fine job. I have reported a bug on your site. Problem is that after installing the pack I have no sound in OFP at all. I am not haveing any texture or graphics issues and the islands run as smooth as glass for me.

Any Ideas as to how to resolve the issue...

edit

I Fixed my issue... Moved the Tonal campaign to the Resistance campaign folder and voila!

These Islands ROCK!!!!
I haven't had a lick of trouble since I fixed my sound issue. Even without mist the game is smooth and easy. The new units are awesome!

Hi guys, ive been out of the loop for a while with moving house and a computer upgrade but i finally got my internet connection back and spent the last 12 hours downloading the new tonal and opfor pack and all i can say is wow.

simply amazing BAS, once again uve broken the boundaries of flashpoint and given the community another taste of your imense talent.

the only problem i had is that in the sf jungle op mission ur using rangers instead of seals ;D but hey, i guess theyll be worth the wait.

all i can say is wow and i beleive that the ofp community is struggling to get out any more words than that.  

Thanx

Tim
