Sounds like a modification to the inventory system (ability to drop weapons).
All i can say is YIPEE&#33; http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard301/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard301/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

What are some of your current favorite third party OpFlash mods and why?



Marek Spanel - My favourite addons are the winter island and unit mods which started with mighty Kegetys&#39; winter Kolguyev. These addons are usually well polished (maybe because they&#39;re not trying to change the original content so much). I also like CSLA Addon with units from the former People&#39;s Army of Czechoslovakia, mainly because of local patriotism.

Wonder when we will get to sample the net code.

OK, here are the "real" facts for those interested. http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard301/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

Class Motorcycle really does exist - but if you would try to use it, you would find soon it is very unfinished and unusable in 1.30-1.46 - and that is why it was not exposed sooner.

Sidearms would rock.
Running out of M16 clips in a hefty firefight, then say "what the hell" and charge the bastards with a Glock and then throw your helmet at them.

One (minor) thing that I hope is fixed in the inventory system: when you are carrying smoke grenades and frag grenades, you can only use the second type after the first are all used used up. You should be able to select either by pressing the space bar. Oh, and while I&#39;m at it, smoke rounds for grenade launchers would be nice. Minor things I know, but it doesn&#39;t hurt to ask.

I didnt know this till a few days ago....but you can "Reload" the other type...when you have both, switch to the granade weapon...then bring up your action menu and you will see an option saying something along the lines of "load smoke grenades"....the second type of grenade will then be the default type for switching with the weapons change key. Dont know if this is what you were talking about, but figured Id take a shot and see if I could help http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard301/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif
