WW1 Mod Expansion Pack

[ProfTournesol]

I'm currently working on an expansion pack for my WW1 mod already released.

It'll include (at least) :

- Previously released bug fix, modified anims and anti aircraft artillery (to get a permanent download link) ;
- Other fighting countries (only infantry, sometimes cavalry) : Entente : Serbia, Italy, maybe Rumania ; Central Powers : Bulgaria and Ottoman Empire.
- Expansion of already released countries : French colonial infantry, cavalry units.
- horse Tranport wagons.
- maybe Trench artillery (mortars).

Thanks to Arremba of Pedagne mod for his help (particularly Italian hit sounds), and to Gokhan of Turkish Union mod for his support.

French cavalry (most of the cavalry units will use cavalry carbine or spear, both with non scripted attack to enable MP) :

Fantastic!

[LYCANTHROPE]

ya cant forget the australian light horse.

the great horse cavalry from WW1.

[diggin.robat]

Prof,
British cavalry was equipped with a bamboo lance in 1914, sometimes with red white fanion. Later the lance was less common and units like the Aussie Light Horse had none. In the german cavalry all types (hussars, cuirassiers, dragoons, uhlans) had a steel tube lance with a back white fanion. At least the british and I think the french cavalry had straight swords, the latter sabers of prewar type.

Anyway, looking forward to the extenstion!

Hope I could help a little bit http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/wink_o.gif .

[ProfTournesol]

@<hidden> diggin.robat : yes, i&#39;ll give lance or carbine to French, German and British cavalrymen, and only carbine to units/ countries not using the lance (ie Austrians for example), which was quite uncommon at that time (the lance became a military fashion, quite surprinsigly, as it was very difficult to use it effectively for not perfectly trained soldiers). I won&#39;t add the sword.

The lance was either made of bamboo or metal, sometimes both. I&#39;ll make both. About the fanion, i&#39;m afraid it wasn&#39;t used during campaigns (and i&#39;m figuring only late war cavalrymen, to ease my work, as uniforms was mainly infantry ones).

In fact, cavalry was mainly used in the Eastern fronts in the first years of the war, as the first cavalry attacks in the Western fronts were disastrous. Most of the cavalrymen became foot soldiers on those fronts. Then, cavalry revives at the end of the war, with some isolated brilliant actions for the Entente.

I think i&#39;ll add cavalrymen for the following countries :

- France (done)
- Great Britain (done)
- Germany (done)
- Austria
- Russia
- Italy
and OF COURSE Australian light horses.

The horse will be randomly available in three colours (brown, black and grey). The equipement/saddle is more detailed as it was in the Napoleonic mod, the attack isn&#39;t scripted anymore.

I&#39;ll add a generic horse drawn transport wagon, the same for all countries, enhanced/retextured/with more details model from my Napoleonic mod.

[Goth_Burner]

Ok ok, some news : going on working on the cavalry :

German hussar (also available with a helmet), and Aussie light horse with the "emeu" feather on the hat :

http://img143.imageshack.us/img143/156/ww1cav4wk0.jpg

Russian generic cavalryman and Russian late shock soldier (Kornilov Rgt, the imperial monogram of the Adrian helmet isn&#39;t visible on that picture, but it is here), and Austrian generic cavalryman. Notice the horse on the left side, i modified its gear.

http://img397.imageshack.us/img397/2103/ww1cav5hq2.jpg

Next : Italian generic cavalryman, and Russian cossack. Then that&#39;ll be all for the cavalry (unless some specific demand is made...).

Ah, I forgot several times to say that our Polish friend named Bociek78 sent me a very nice Mark I tank, but it&#39;s more done on the ArmA standard regarding to polycount and texture sizes, so i don&#39;t know if i&#39;ll be able to put it in Ofp, but i&#39;ll try. Thanks to him anyway.

Hi, some news :

- Italian generic cavalryman done, i&#39;ve still the cossack in the pipe ;
- Added barrel recoil to each field and AA gun, as requested earlier ;
- i&#39;m still working on the horse drawn wagon.

Other projets in the pipe for that (final ?) release :
- trench mortars (two or three models, German / French / British) ;
- following Belgerot&#39;s idea, i&#39;ll add some generic generals to the main countries&#39; armies.

Nice stuff altogther, can´t wait to sent some uhlans around for patrol or raid an allied wagon trek. And here my ideas begin:

-It would be nice to have more 1914 units like german Jägers with shako and 98a rifles. Also french zouaves and other Tirailleurs, Légion Éntrang&#232;re from Africa. Cavlary could be french dragoon, chasseurs and cuirasiers. Some armed franctireurs on neutral side. They would add to the colourful infantry in 1914 to 1916. Also 1915 transition uniforms are interesting: sawn off pickles on the Haube, french trials with horizon bleu, trench raiders with clubs, automatic weapons, shotguns...


- You already planned trench mortars, that´s great&#33; What about rifle grenadiers (french Vivien Bessiers for instance)?.

- 1914 units should n´t have grenades, as they were thought only for engineers or pioneers for fortress warfare. They only became  widespread when trench warfare was beginning in Winter 1914 and then mostly as improvised items. Many interesting solutions were used in 1915 when in 1916 the german Stielhandgranate, Eierhandgranate, Mills Bombs (different types) and french Citron and OF 1916 were most common. German grenades relied on blast effect, as allied grenades where mostly on fragmentation. Germans used concentrated charges / bundles of seven grenades for anti tank action. Rifle grenades also had their fixed roles in combat squads. It would be nice to have grenades with different distances and time delay.


- Heavy MGs are a story of their own. I remember there is a script for area firing. All those Maxim Systems (08, Vickers) had 250 rounds belt and were able to give sustained fire, not only bursts. Hotchkiss had 24 to 30 rounds strips, which could be linked together, to give a relative sustained fire. Traverse was small, ca. 30° to both sides for 08, Vickers and even Hotchkiss, Puteaux. It was not the traverse ability of the MGs with made them a sweeping weapon, but their angled positioning to enemy attack lanes enfilading them with their elliptical "beaten zone". Only improvised or later tripods enabled a greater traverse. Like in Lib Mod it would be nice to push the MG to left or right, if necessary.
German 08/15 could be fired from the hip, but it was quite impossible to shoot it standing from the shoulder properly.


- All vehicles guns need iron sights. FT-17 turret could traverse a full 360° and there was a type with a small 37mm gun.  Using the multi turret script would be nice, to make full use of all the weapons at different angles the tanks had.
The tanks  were nearly impregnable to small arms fire. Even the FT-17 had the thickest armour of the allied tanks. Only concentrated MG fire on vision and weapon slits or exhaust grates were effective. The germans used the "SmK"-Munition, which had a hardened steel core. It could penetrate armour at close range.
I don´t know, how difficult it is to give the tanks a detailed damage script (like in Lib Mod). But just taking them out by constant small arm fire or grenade throwing does not do them justice.  What about the script for multi turreted vehicles?

nice job. you are tireless http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/notworthy.gif

[belgerot]

Indeed&#33; As you&#39;ve mentioned the Russian Civil War, is there a chance you will expand further into that conflict by introducing two distinct &#39;White&#39; and &#39;Red&#39; armies into the mod?

It seems that the build-up of such revolutionary elements wasn&#39;t only on Russian soil either, and the end of World War I helped fuel such conflicts and deepen divisions.

[Sudayev]

This new stuff looks very good. I didnt expect you are about to include such a diversity of nations in this mod.
Are you planning to release a winter map ?

[diggin.robat]

Nice stuff as ever, Prof. I really like those aristocratic officers doing nothing more then "chateau-ing" or sending young men into the hell with some pins on the overall map...Nice contrast to have fighters of proletarism after that&#33; http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/biggrin_o.gif
Russian Civil War is a nice ideas as a follow up mod. Street fighting in Berlin 1918-1919 could be another one...

I guess that some of things on my list is hard to do, but I offer my help with infos, pics and research.


Keep up the good work&#33;

[belgerot]

That would be an interesting era to play out in game.

[ProfTournesol]

Ok ok, some news / questions :

- i&#39;ve made a bolchevick general looking more or less like a mix of Trotsky / Lenin (plus a red field officer) ;
- i&#39;m working on an Austrian generic general, and that&#39;ll be all for the general officers ;
- i&#39;ll add some fighting civilians but i&#39;d like some ideas of "how to dress them" : headgears, suits etc.
- i&#39;ll add some British and French trench fighters, i&#39;ve already added a generic shotgun => any ideas of "how they could be dressed and equiped" is welcome.
- i&#39;ll add a simple UserAction script to the static weapons (ie machineguns and field artillery) to move them forward, backward, left or right (1 meter each time).
- i&#39;ll make 3 trench mortars / minenwerfer : 1 British, 1 French and 1 German.
- About "rifle grenadiers", i&#39;ve already thought of it but i don&#39;t like the way "OFP rifle mortars" are working : units use them only when out of ammos...but maybe WW1 kind of rifle mortars cannot fire bullets and grenades at the same time ? It&#39;ll solve the problem. If so, please provide me with some example pictures for the main countries.

Other things i&#39;d like to add but that would be hard (or impossible) to do for me (some help / gift are welcome...as usual  http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/icon_rolleyes.gif )
- observation balloons ;
- battle / transport ships.

I won&#39;t add more early soldiers (1914 style looking) cause it would be too much work for me.

[PastTime]

I guess you don&#39;t know but Polish infantry were fighting at Russian side and Austrian, i don&#39;t think we can get any good photos of soldiers, but i guess we can find some less detailed.

You don&#39;t have to make Polish infantry which wouldn&#39;t be much for this mod it&#39;s just a little suggestion.

Hi Prof,
my pleasure to help out&#33;

Here we go with some rifle grenades and launcher:

French page about Vivien-Bessi&#232;re (http://secondeguerre.net/articles/armes/fr/gr/ar_grenadevb.html)

German was much the same model, as it was copied and introduced in 1918. You didn´t need a blank cartridge as the grenade had a hole through which the bullet passed and also ignited the primer.

When you add some burning tanks, lot of dead bodies scattered around craters and burning airplanes diving in the sky then dramatis reaches its top. Here&#39;s my pic.
Mapfact bunkers are locked. Is there a chance of replacing these with other ones?
How about adding some winter accents? I mean ground textures, snow spots areas with some grayish slush like textures. Man that would be awesome.

To avoid some trench wall troubles, i did make some "particular" weapons (including the LMG&#39;s : chauchat, lewis and mg08), which can be positionned close/inside trench walls (it must be positionned inside wall geometry, which needs some trials while making a mission...not perfect anyway...) :

Can&#39;t wait for more releases, ProfT...

I was wondering, are you working on any other equipment also like canons and general objects for atmosphere.

Also, did the concertina wire idea ever work out or was it tried yet? I think it would be perfect for the mod still.

[ProfTournesol]

@<hidden> all : thanks for the support, i need it not to lose courage.

@<hidden> : well, i&#39;m working only on the Palestine front at the moment, the hat i try to feature is this one (i&#39;ve changed a bit the helmet you see on the previous picture, and modified the cocade to put it on the front) :

Here (http://www.sacktrick.com/igu/germancolonialuniforms/militaria/photos/large/ost%20af%20helm%202.jpg)

Other units are almost ready for this front, i&#39;ll show them soon.

@<hidden> : i&#39;ll add stoke mortar (based on IOE model) and german light minenwerfer. I&#39;m not working on specific object at the moment. PM me about the concertina wire to precise what you exactly want, i think it shouldn&#39;t be hard to make (just reconfig a BIS object).

[diggin.robat]

@<hidden> PorfTournesol

Isn´t it the british Woseley helemt? Anyway pictures of german troops are scarce, but it is known that it was odered to change pith helmets into khaki caps with ventail in the back. At least in East Africa also captured Woseleys were used.

[ProfTournesol]

@<hidden> All : thanks again.

About desert map, i&#39;m not planning to make one but i&#39;m looking for good ones...Pictures you see are taken on "africa 1942" map, I like the desert part of Texel island but it&#39;s more a "tropical" one (and modern). Afganistan islands don&#39;t suite to a Palestine map (too many mountains), and Sinai / Irak ones (from lobo) are much too modern...

@<hidden> diggin.robat : didn&#39;t get your PM. BI Forum private message system isn&#39;t working well.

[POPKA]

Those units look fantastic&#33;, I think the FDF mod desert expansion map would go well with these units, there are a number of old desert maps such as "Dunes" and "A2 Island" which gave you nothing but an expanse of desert, with a little Wrpediting/tooling you could add some nice objects to these and reconfig them/retexture them with resistance desert textures (as they still use CWC one&#39;s I believe).

I might have a go at this myself and make a few period style Middle eastern buildings (and of course sand trenches), if I get around to it that is, im incredably lazy these days. At the least I guess i&#39;ll release a sand entrenchment addon to go along with them, might aswell remove the ground textures too as you can&#39;t really tell in the desert

It&#39;s sad that we haven&#39;t more WWI ships, even not fully working, it could add a great atmosphere (like Gallipoli landing party) or new targets for the planes...I know Shinkansen made a few of them, but i think he&#39;s lost them : Look at this picture (http://img494.imageshack.us/img494/1149/ramillies7jc.jpg), or look at this other one. (http://img509.imageshack.us/img509/486/ww1new011br.jpg) It&#39;s sad that we don&#39;t have these ones &#33;

No news for the WW2 Balloons i wanted to modify in WWI observation ones, the authors seem to have disappeared, despite Fab from WWIIEC trying to contact them.

And added a config.bin file to the mod to get rid of the radio voices (as in Sanctuary&#39;s GRAA or WW4mod) which are badly slowing the game (and not realistic in WWI) ;
And added a resource.bin to have a WWI GUI.

Edited to add some old Shinkansen pictures links.

If you don&#39;t need something accurate to a real thing, or very detailled, i could try to complete this lego-like generic warship for you , far from shinkansen reproduction of those dreadnought and HMS-boats but as a target or static could be fun :

http://i43.tinypic.com/5un3tx.gif

textures not really being my domain at all, i doubt i will be able to get something "good looking".

@<hidden> Sanctuary : yes, you&#39;re very welcome, that would be a nice addition  http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/yay.gif

Wachtmeester, who released some times ago a VERY nice fokkers pack (featuring several fokkers Dr1, E3 and D7, with a lot of variations, including Goering plane &#33; ) allows me to re-release it and to adapt it to the WW1 mod (armor, scripts, pilots).

I can&#39;t believe i called this mod a "minimod" at the beginning...but i didn&#39;t expect that so many people will help me (50% of the readme file is a "credits and thanks" list...). That&#39;s what we call a community spirit &#33;

[Sanctuary]

edit **oops double post**

[Sanctuary]

I tried to add a bit more cubes here and there http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/biggrin_o.gif , it think it looks a bit better as a silhouette now :

http://i41.tinypic.com/33mab68.jpg

http://i42.tinypic.com/2ldo1s.gif

You wants static turrets, or separate ones that you can setpos in mission editing on the boat itself to have them manned ?

If the latter, the boat will not be able to move it will just stay there as a static object, as constantly setposing the turrets with script on the warship so it follows the ship moves would be a bit too much performance intensive in my opinon.

Now if you want the warship to be able to move, only 1 turret will really exist (as OFP a boat/vehicle can only have 1 real turret), the other will just be for "show".
The advantage of this is that the turret would be player manned without a problem or any setpos necessary.

[ProfTournesol]

Well, in the old time i used a setpos script with a ship to add 14 canons to Philcommando sailingship that i modified for my Napoleonic mod :

http://img217.imageshack.us/img217/357/14navy14vg.jpg

But i think that for this kind of WWI ship, one working turret at the front should be enough...and more simple to handle in the game...so i&#39;ll vote for the second choice &#33;

By the way, the ship is looking VERY nice &#33;

[Sanctuary]

Well, as i said, textures are definitively not something i am comfortable with, and it shows http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/biggrin_o.gif

But at least there is only 1 texture for the whole warship.

http://img301.imageshack.us/img301/1391/clipboard01iiv.jpg

[ProfTournesol]

If we&#39;ve got some big ships, we&#39;ll need some transport ships to have a few landing parties : i did modify one of my Napoleonic ships to make it look like some of the Gallipoli&#39;s landing ships :

http://img119.imageshack.us/img119/8461/ww1ship.jpg

Notice the explosion behind : it&#39;s the RDS artillery barrage script that takes into account the water... i definitely love these scripts...(put one of RDS gamelogic in the water and you&#39;ll see).

[Sanctuary]

About warship size, what size do you want this generic old warship to be ? I have stricly no idea on how big or small it should be for your mod ?

But i clearly remember in OFP there is a problem with vehicles and their geometry/fire geometry lod when the vehicle is over a certain size, but i don&#39;t remember which one.

We will have to make sure the size is not beyond that limit or the ship will be useless for combat.

If i can , i will try to get a second badly painted "texture" , so you could have a generic warship for both side of the war.

[ProfTournesol]

The size of the cruisers was between 100 and 200 meters long, but i&#39;ve read that maximum size in OFP to have working geo / path lods is 64 x 64 meters. So let&#39;s have a 60 meters long ship &#33;

I knew those dazzle camouflages, they weren&#39;t real camouflage but were meant to confuse enemy gunners, as they didn&#39;t use any computers to shoot at their targets &#33;

[DespairsRay]

Hey ProfT

I was wondering what you thought about also if time permits to introducing Japanese units as well.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japan_during_World_War_I

[ProfTournesol]

Hi,

@<hidden> : well, i&#39;m currently working on some of the requests you made to me by mail (sorry didn&#39;t answer, but RL is taking 98% of my free time...and it&#39;s getting worse) :
- added : a stretcher (a vehicle with a cargo position on the stretcher and two bearers including the "driver") and a stretcher script similar to those I included in Napoleonic or Cwmod (a script launchable in missions immobilizes some woundeds - make them captive and make them play randomly the lying-healing animation -, then when the mission maker wants to, the stretcher picks up the wounded and bring them to an hospital). Not perfect but nice to see.
- added : based on the stretcher principle, carryable HMG (maxim, hotchkiss, vikcers, schwarzlose) by two men : once one of the men "disembarks" or dies, the "vehicle" featuring the carriable HMG disappears and the standard HMG appears, one of the men "boarding" it. So it&#39;s only deployable once, but that a nice addition two.
- waiting : for the concertina model you wanted me to look at...
- next : stoke&#39;s mortar and minenerfer.
- No Japanese units planned ATM, should i make some ?

@<hidden> : love your ship. Any update ?

@<hidden> : the expansion pack will be released in the next month, dunno when, surely before july. No legion planned ATM. Should i make some ?

[Tiget]

Where can I download WWI Expansion Pack for ofp? I tried to find it on google, but I couldn't...

[belgerot]

No expansion as of yet, notice this is in the Discussions forum.

[Aussiepartisan]

I have zero modding abilities or understanding so forgive me if I make ludicrous statements... However, I do have vast miliatary knowledge...thats my focus

Japan: Japan did not take a military part in WW1, however it did hold some PoW's (mostly germans I do believe) So you don't need to add in Japanese units

Trenches: They were rather deep and had dug-outs / sleeping pits in the walls to provide the soldiers with places to sleep (Duh) Some trenches, in Gallipolli, were about 10ft High. How the men fired over, was just a series of steps. This would be a good system to employ (deep trenches) But I dont know how one would go about implementing it, as the AI could be a pain..... I myself would also add in some ladders to go "Over the top" to charge across no-mans land (cos that's how they did it), but in my experience, AI doesnt really climb ladders, or go up stairs all that much.

Also, most of the time, Australia troops did not wear helmets (cos we are so cool) though i do believe on the western front, they did on occasion. They didnt use those weird Pit, Pich, Pitch or whatever helmets that you see the units in Middle East wearing.

I was going to download the initial release, but I shal wait for the expansion.....Would LOVE to see some great missions (a campaign or several would give me an orgasm) Just please! Take your time to get it pristine!

Until then, best of luck

That's not quite true, Japanese did fight against the Germans in far east. Not a big involvement though. But anyway i won't add any Japanese.

I know, Aussies are already included, with helmet for the ones wearing it on the Western front, and traditional Aussie slouch hat for the others (including light horses with their feather on the hat).

Thankyou for your quick response.

I'm fine if you yourself dont get a mission or campaign done, but I'm praying that others will, as it will be just wonderful dont you think?

Like a Gallipolli, Balkans or Ypres or some such........

Just briefly, I can't remeber if ti was talked about, but when you have lets say a battle, have you scripted in that there would be TONNES of men there?? because WW1 OTTs had thousands of men charging...it would be good to see thsi reflected, instead of like 20 men.....
