Odd thread to resurrect after 3 months.
Sorry Saw no idea, you could try the various forums. Start at http://www.operation-flashpoint.com or http://www.flashpoint1985.com , the BBSs there seems to get the most traffic.

Swoop, what is the latest patch for OPF and where can I get it? When I go to Codemasters downloads page, I get one patch that wont install (because it requires the gold version or something like that)
-
Hort,
depends which version.
If you have just the original OFP (Euro edition, not US - Euro release was months before US release so we got the buggy v1.0 but US release was v1.20. Nice to get something early for once though.) then you need:
upgrade to v1.20 (http://ftp://www.flashpoint1985.com/fp/OFPPatch_upgrade_120.zip)
patch to 1.30 (http://ftp://www.flashpoint1985.com/fp/OFPPatch_Upgrade3_v130.zip)
and then finally
patch v1.46 (http://ftp://www.flashpoint1985.com/fp/145/OFP_Upgrade_4v146.zip)
However if you have OFP: Resistance (and if not, why not?) then you just need:
v1.91 (http://ftp://www.flashpoint1985.com/pol/OFPResPatch_1_91_POL.zip)
Um.....ok, you might need v1.90 (http://ftp://ftp.freenet.de/pub/4players/flashpoint/update/ofp_resistance-patch_1_90.zip) 1st, I dont remember, but since 1.90 is 13mb and 1.91 is only 10mb you prolly do.

Damn... been out of the OFP loop for quite a while. I'm amazed that Codemasters are still releasing updates for it. I've always liked that publishing company. Damn Euros get something right every now and then.
Is the game much different than the 1.4 days? Or were the patches mostly fixes?

Resistance makes it a whole new game.
Terrain is waaaaaay better than original. You get pistols as a backup weapon, ability to drop weapons, load up transports with extra weapons and ammo, many new official weapons. New addons too, although the latest addon is....well I dont really understand why BIS spent time on it. 2 versions of the Sopwith Camel. ????? Why on earth we needed a WWI fighter in a 1985 combat sim......well I dont know.
Also, some of the new weapon stats seem a little off. For example, you can still kill with a well placed round from an M16A2 in the chest......but the new FN-FAL (7.62mm Belgian built rifle used by the British Army for years before the SA80 came along) takes about 4 or 5 in the chest to kill.

OMG I just tried thet 1944 Campaign, the Thompson has the range of a kitchen knife! :eek:
So little Nam missions, I wonder why? :(
(Except for 10Bear's one... but I still need an extra 512 Mb RAM to be able to launch it, saving it though.)
Steve,
1.85 if you have OFP Euro version. 1.90 if you have resistance (I recommend it)
-
The full demo of invasion1944 will be out within a few weeks, definately something to look forward to. All their previous units were made with great eye for detail and historical realism.
Check http://www.invasion1944.com, very promising...

Thud little comma in your link.
I'm looking fwd to seeing the 1944
I've got resistance had alot of fun playing with the agw folks :) haven't played in a while tho.

I was in middle of writing a Viet Nam Campaign for OFP when the new terrain editor came out so I put that aside.
Had some real cool cut scenes.. 60’s music.. First scene is outside of the barracks at night.. downloaded the Riflemen's Creed from Full Metal Jacket.. The next scene was 3 months later landing at Saigon International airport.. the background music was Beatles “Back to the USSR” it was shaping up..
The missions I shared w/ sqd mates I thought were good but got some feedback from Ranger Bob that kinda got me thinking about the whole thing..
Bob: Are you simulating marching through the jungle for 12 hours at a time?. Mission after mission when you finally find a VC/NVA outlook,.. no bodies home?.. Me: well, um.. no..
Bob: Are you simulating 80% humidity humping 75 pound kits bugs snakes ants.. there’s more diddlying ants in Viet Nam than any place in the world?.. Me:.. I.. ah.. um.. no..
Bob: When you DO finally make contact with the enemy, around chapter 10, does the radio go nuts? Is the squad leader shot dead in mid sentence? Is there mass confusion.. Can you hear the VC leader shouting orders in Vietnamese less than 10 meters away?.. Is the radio man wounded and screaming his bloody head off and won’t stop... he won’t stop!. compromising your units position?.. Do you have to call in a dust off medivac chopper every 10 minutes and have an open field for him to land?.. Tell me, in your simulation, does your M16A2 have a tendency to jam?.. sometimes the cartridge simply falls out? Finally, are you trying to glamorize the Viet Nam war?
Me: Ah Jeese Bob... that sounds a little bit too heavy..
Bob: It WAS heavy..
Well..... that kind of put an end to the Viet Nam project...
God Bless America and God Bless Ranger Bob..

OK I'm finally gonna break down and buy Resistance. :)
-
Dang.
Well, no I didn't do much of that.
I do have a SEB NP2 (Vietnam) mission that can be downloaded here:

-
Funked did you ever get that co-op server up and running?
(http://image1ex.villagephotos.com/extern/640697.jpg)
-
Yep it was running fine but the owner of the computer didn't like it. :)
I have a bunch of parts to build a new server but I haven't gotten around to building it yet.
-
Guys, offer some advice to an old VVS pilot. I don't fly online/offline anymore, restricting my gaming and studies to the Soviet-German War and Soviet operational art. However, I did play the demo to OFP when it first came out and liked it a lot. Is this game and its latter incarnations worth buying for someone who would probably only play Soviet?
-
Oh God yes.
There are 3 campaigns available from the developer. Standard campaign is US (hadda be), addon campaign "Red Hammer" the main character is a Russian spec ops soldier, in the Resistance campaign the main character is also a Russian spec ops soldier only fighting as resistance.
But the game isnt about the campaigns.......it's about that wonderful mission editor which you can do almost anything with.
18 months after the initial release and I'm still playing OFP every damn day.

Swoop, thanks for the links.
I just upgraded to 1.46, but the colors are amazingly dull.
Im using a clean OPF euro version upgraded to 1.46. I wont be spending any money on resistance until the next paycheck arrives. Teach me master...what campaigns and mods do I want? And where do I get them.
-
Awww 10Bears, too bad, I was looking forward to this after playing your previous mission. let me remind you this is only a game we play to erm... play a game :)
I'm having fun shooting at VC's in here.... while I know I would not have had any fun doing it in RL :)
I started building missions myself, mainly Nam missions. (Infantry only, no tanks... I HATE tanks...)
-
Hortlund, when you get Res, you want:
SEB NP2 -- available at http://www.ofp.info (I think), or http://www.ofp-zone.de
[shameless self-promo]Be sure to install the CoC_Mines too. It's in the NP2 zip, but a separate file. AP mines, directional mines, claymores, all those cool things (and full MP functionality without killing your bandwidth).[/shameless self-promo]
Missions are also there.
BAS Delta and Rangers are also supposed to be good.
the avonlady's faq has a lot of useful links to just about everything you'd want.
Also, the official forum has some good announcements.
If you're into editing, http://www.ofpec.com has no peer.
If you get way too much into scripting, and want to do something sick with OFP, check out what we're up to over at http://www.thechainocommand.net . It takes OFP and gives you command over anywhere between a platoon and a battalion. We're currently developing the MP version.
-
Ahrgh...frustrating...I simply cannot affoard Resistance right now, so I must wait for the next paycheck...3 weeks!!
-
Hort,
go to http://ofp.gamezone.cz/ and download.....well everything. From the news page there you'll plenty of links to the WWII mod sites.
For online stuff you'll usually find me on the [LOL] Major's Co-op server or one of the Estonian servers (damn good pings).

Swoop, is it possible for you to play with someone who has 1.46?
If so we should try to arrange a date this weekend...say saturday night Euro time?
Shoot me an email will you.
stevehortlund@hotmail.com
-
Um....no it isnt. :D
It would be if I had the urge to reinstall all the patches on OFP.....but since I installed resistance I havnt played anything but and the last time I refreshed this system I never bothered with the standard OFP patches. You can still play 1.46 missions in OFP:R you see. Come to think of it.....I think I told someone just the other day that OFP:R still needs the OFP patches to 1.46, whoever it was that's incorrect, you only need the Resistance patches.
Also, I'm moving house this saturday and wont have a net connection for a little while.

Hort,
did you ever get around to buying OFP:R?
I feel the urge to empty a clip or two into someone again......

Hey Swoop. How does this compare to the Invasion 44 mod?
I just bought OP:FP GOTY edition several weeks ago and I'm dying to try it out. I've heard good things about Invasion'44 but nothing on this one you posted about.
Westy
-
Invasion 44 is prolly better. This just came first using as many of the ww2 addons as they could.
You got Resistance? If not, do so. Turns OFP into a whole new game.
(http://image1ex.villagephotos.com/extern/640697.jpg)
-
Thanks Swoop. Ive got "Resistance" and I'll try that mod too just to see how it is.

Hmm...now that you mention it...I did buy OPF:R...I still have it installed I think...
Whats..*sniff* *sniff* whats that smell? *sniff* Do I smell a mp coming up this weekend?
Just tell me what to get and where to get it and you have yourself a date :)
-
Just the latest patch (whatever it may be) and a cool thingy called the All Seeing Eye (http://www.allseeingeye.com) to find the right servers.
Sunday good?
(http://image1ex.villagephotos.com/extern/640697.jpg)
-
what...I dont need any ww2 mods and stuff?
-
Speak of the devil! I just reinstalled OFP + Resistance the other day. BUT... I have graphical badness. I'm getting a green screen with sounds playing in the background upon launch.
I have the latest Catalyst Drivers for my Radeon 9500 pro. (WinXP, 1.2ghz t-bird, 728mb ddram, ECS k7s5a mobo)
-
Hort,
ah you wanna play WW2 stuff. Um, I don't actually know of a WW2 addons server. We'd have to create one and prolly more trouble than it's worth. Standard OFP:R instead?
Oct,
Only thing I can find in the FAQ is that the green screen is a bug with versions previous to v1.30 and that alt-tabbing out and back seems to fix it.
Also see this thread (http://www.flashpoint1985.com/cgi-bin/ikonboard311/ikonboard.cgi?act=ST;f=3;t=32813) cos other people seem to think it's related to having too many addons.

I'm envious...every first person shooter-type game I load, my sons are standing next to me begging to play...if I let them play, then later on everything in the house they find turns into an Uzi or a M-16, complete with spittle-sound effects...it drives me nuts!
Its funny, a co-worker said that in her household, no gun toys of ANY sort were ever allowed, their mother and father are very anti-gun, yet, she said, her brother managed to make a gun out of just about anything in the house....moral of the story? You can take the gun away from man, but you can't take the man away from gun. :)

Yeah, we can do that. Now let me just get some practice under my belt. I havent played OPF:R for ages.
Say a time and a place.

Damn, sorry Hort, completely forgot.
You around later tonight?
