M557 or M1068

[Desiato]

M557 armored command post (not beta).
Why make addon vehicles without right equipments and controls? Filesize Over 7mb just another empty M113 more?
Good example from: http://www.combataddons.com

Only map view screen, why?

More good examples, with missing controls:
B-52 stratofortress, yes i know just beta addon. Not bad idea and filesize only 680kb.

But we need more, weapon control panels for weapon officer?
Download :B-52 addon

I need comments, pictures, tips, scripts and example addon files.
M557 addon remake or just new M1068 vehicle? (another command post vehicle model), both models needs more interior equipments and controls.

This game really need finished addons with good controls. Fennek addon, Bundeswehr Mod. Best addon example what you can find. Good camera pan, zoom and UAV drone select controls. Download page: http://www.bistudio.com/flashnews/20...ws_200205.html

Well it is the choice of the developers, maybe you can give it a try on making the extra equipment and controls?

[Desiato]

Yeah and really bad choice if you look also filesizes. How about fairplay and tell: just early alpha version with pretty textures and almost everything missing.
Lots of tricky reverse engineering and not too many examples. Uhh... better start working again.

You know what? Go make some addons yourself and show you can do better than these before coming over here and saying somebody else's hard work is worth shit!

If you haven't notice, OFP does NOT support all the advanced control panels very well and majority of more sophisticated display is almost impossible to make. It's really unfair to ask people to go waste more time working on features that will be hardly ever noticed and used. What purpose M577 could serve anyway, other than a target for a Spetznas team (exagerating a little bit ).

[Desiato]

Sorry, looked fennek addon? Simple extra controls with camera screen views not impossile. Usefull? this is just right place talking more. Making better addons? no just little better working addons perhaps. I dont try nothing complex messing and if i cant make better or finished stuff. I just add next markings to my files: alpha version.

[eestikas88]

Nobody actually uses those extra controls in ofp.Because noone needs them.Sure addonmakers could make them to make it look realistic.But for most of the time you won't notice them because you don't need them.


edit*i'm talking about myself

[Desiato]

Ehh... no need for realistic missions. Planes and vehicles without any kind equipments, sounds great. More small group missions more running. No big scale battles with usefull group or platoon handling? M557 just good example how you control units, realistic mission type really bad idea? Only information for controlling units: maps and ground vehicle or UAV camera views with (example: damage) information.

[MontyVCB]

i don't care about special features (even tho its nice at times and makes it more fun), i just want to grab my rifle and shoot ruskies

[Desiato]

Only rifle without any nice toys wow. Good grunt, para troops rules yeah. But how long you run without any kind support?

[Stelios]

Desiato, what the hell is your point with the last post.
And do you think with the way you start your topic anyone is gonna say : oh you're so right, we suck, all our hours of work put in and still we did a shitty job.
Combat! team has produced some of the finest addons mankind has ever seen. B!tching about a control panel in such a manner, is pointless and disrespectfull.
