Ballistic Addon Studios Update Thread

Kyle Sarnik: Are you making that mission in Tatu, Ixtlan, or some other city?

[rudyvarner]

I did a search and didn't see this issue before.

When playing Coop Rebelroad 1.1 included in the Tonal + OPFor pack, I shot the billboard sign on the right side of the road with the M79 and it just floated away.  It was pretty hilarious!  Can anyone else replicate this?  I'll post a screenshot tonight.

m21man:

That mission takes place in Tatu, but I am making one in Ixtlan too, and it has black hawks... (maybe all get a screenshot up)

Noon416:

Is it ok if I re-size them first? I just like the putting them on the thread, but I won't do it again w/ out permission...   :thumbsup:

Rudedog:
I had the same problem, it floated away as well, except I hit the ground near it with an RPG....Didn't really affect gameplay so I didn't mind.

[KyleSarnik]

It's a little laggy at the begining, but it doesn't realy matter since all you have to do is get in the blackhawk... but once you get to the city it gets better...

Ok, So WOW! I finally got to see this amazing island and play around with some of the new toys and units!!     OMG! You BAS guys do stunning work ... the attention to detail from the posters and billboards to the water pump to the garbage in the street ..hehe. !!  major props to you. After playing the game Black Hawk Down, I wished for that kind of environment to be available in a game like OFP where you can actually operate the vehicles and control your squad. Plus, we've needed "technicals" for a while. Great job!

  Now my only problem is that to get these addons to work (meaning get my game to even boot up properly) , I had to disable every non-official addon (using OFP Addon Manager)besides all my beloved BAS ones! The mod folder option doesn't seem to be working for me:  http://www.ofpec.com/yabbse/index.php?board=14;action=display;threadid=13616

    So I may be screwed if someone decides to add a couple non-BAS addons to any Tonal missions.   :-\

Can someone please help me? I keep getting the error like Kamikazepilot had; "cannot create 3d device, out of memory".

system specs;
AMD 1800+
1536MB DDR RAM
PowerVR Kyro 64MB

Addons used;
BIS RES
BAS Tonal files
(no OPFOR pack)

OFP;
V1.94b

When I had 640 MB RAM I could use like 110 mb of addons next to the BIS files. Now that I have 1536MB I can use 114mb. That doesn't make sence. Is there any way that I can get rid of this problem other than buying a new video card??

[DeadMeatXM2]

The video card is probably your problem Frost, it probably just hasnt got the umpf to power the island with so many models...

Try tweaking your Windows settings, see if that helps. If not try the BIOS settings (If you know how)

Otherwise it might be worth investing in an ATI or a GeForce...

[KamikazePilot]

actually i just redid the screen size to 800x 600

[DeadMeatXM2]

actually i just redid the screen size to 800x 600

Heh, yeah, good point.

That does require a lot less GPU power/memory from the graphics card, and would allow you to run the game.

All be it a lot less prettier...

[Cpt. FrostBite]

I tried 800x600. I REALLY don't want to go any lower than that.
Guess I'll just buy a new video card. Problem is that those new cards have problems with OFP (the "green screen" problem).And they're quite expensive   I'm only a student, you know.

[DeadMeatXM2]

hehe, I'm a student too, I know your pain.

And the GeForce FX problems have been solved by BIS

[Cpt. FrostBite]

Well, if goes well, I should make quite some money from february till july. That's when I'm joining the fleet. 3 months 7 days a week means a lot of cash when I'm back  

[Eviscerator]

If i were you i'd take it to BIS' Troubleshooting forum before doing something drastic like buying a new 3D card, its probably more related to the size of the addons youre using and not the addons themselves, im sure they'll have some ideas for fixing it, im also using a 64mb 3D card and its working fine for me.

[lt_poncho]

27 kills.... Wow, I'm good...  ;D :gunman:
