EECP - Enhanced ECP

[Dreamline]

There is the semi-portable mortar system in MFCTI 1.6. The
catch being that after it is "built" it cannot be moved. It is
available through the repair-truck build options.
That is the only thing I can think of, unfortunately.

Hi Kurayami,

Been following this project since the beginning but it's only upon recently ive had the time to test it. Must say that Im impressed and I think that your project is the best around since it's incorperated into ECP.

So I finally sat down and started playing the CWC campaign again and boy was I amazed, it's like a new game. Great work Kurayami really great work.

It's just one thing that im missing and that's a new BMP. I know that you want to keep the required addons to a minimum regarding size but maybe you could use VITAPC pack? Another possibility if it's possible to rip the BMP with permission from FDF or CSLA? Just a suggestion.

Either way great mod keep up the awsome work.

Yes, the BMP is something that I've given some thought to. I have permission from MAA to use CSLA's units if I wish, but I'm a bit wary of doing that because of the size of the download and their armor PBO. I know that I could just rip the models that I want and copy the config, but I don't find that to be terribly ethical (IMO. I wouldn't want somebody doing that to my work.)

As it stands, I'm waiting to see what happens with the Caucasus Crisis BMPs. From what I understand, ORCS may be releasing them. If that's the case, I'd rather make use of those since they'd be a small and self-contained download.

As for the VITAPC BMP-3, I've considered using it to replace the BMP-1, but I haven't really done anything since the only BMP-2 I could use is the CSLA one, and we get back to the problem of size again with that. If we don't get both a BMP-1 and 2 from the Caucasus Crisis' work, then I'll probably use whatever we do get and the BMP-3.


By the way, currently I'm working on fixing the longest-standing bug in the config - incorrect weapons and magazine pictures in the inventory. This has required me to create new weapon classes. My plan is to make the default equipment of soldiers consist of things from these new classes, which will be identical to my modified default classes as far as values go. The old classes will still remain for missions that specifically make use of them, but the pictures will still be incorrect because, to my knowledge, there's no way to idependently assign pictures to weapons and magazines without creating a second magazine class.

Thanks for the answer Kurayami can't wait for the BMP replacement.

Keep up the excellent work.

I just received permission from raedor to modify his scripts, so in the next release all of the T-54 scripts, including the random number script, will be working.

I've also spent some time this afternoon adding something very nice to the config. Let's just say that it rymes with "sadly."


There should also be an update available fairly soon. I was planning to hold off until RHS released their infantry pack, but I'm making enough changes to warrent a new release before that.

Ummm, radley....no
crably....nope not that....

uhhhh.....I GOT IT!!!!

To be honest when they came out, the first thing i thought of was an update for this config with it.... call me ur #1 fan, or just a geek who gets excited of the "CONFIG OF THE AGES"

[Blpokl]

Just wanted to say 3 thumbs up on your project! Made a fresh install of Flashpoint, the hisky addon, the ECP and your enhancements and all I can say is WOW, Great Stuff!

btw, BAS released De/ra 1.55, maybe you could update your link on the first page for it.

[Taconic]

Thanks for the compliment. I'll change the link when I release my next update.

Speaking of which, it's nearly done. I took a break for a couple of days because I was spending far too much time on it, but now it only requires me to devote 3 or 4 hours to finish up. I basically started from scratch in order to fix a number of small problems that were bothering me (and probably only me.) This also means that everything is very clearly commented in the config, so it isn't a two hour job to hunt things down for use in a non-dynamic range version, which I've been promising to get out for a while.

Barring any unforseen problems, I should have it finished and tested within a week.

@Kurayami:
If size of CSLA_ARM.PBO is problem, then I can make new PBO only include BMPs for you

Wow. That's a very nice offer. It's something I didn't even bother asking because I didn't think anybody would be receptive to it. I'm definetely interested. I'll drop you a PM.
