Eye of the Storm Iraq

[Sgt.Storm]

Hello, everyone!!!

It been a long time since my last post. I've been busy doing other things and working on OFP. Since my last post I scraped all my ideas to focus on one idea, Iraq!!! This campaign takes place in 2007, and all of the stuff about civil war in Iraq has come true. Now U.S. forces will have to calm the two warring factions. I'll try not to tell to much of the story except maybe the first few missions.

Sincerely,
Sgt.Storm

Well, I like the sound of it. Good Luck!

Hey thanks, scotchsoldier!!!


Here is a small update,
The campaign's story will show the life a soldier within 3 weeks, and how he will progress throughout the war and how he will mature.

Yes I know that this is a small update and this sounds like something I said before or someone else said before, but I hope you guys will enjoy!

Sounds good
Good luck with your work. I hope we see any news about it soon.

[Sgt.Storm]

Thanks Imutep.



Okay a little info about the troops fighting alongside the main c. First off, all the charecters, will have a personality of their own. I wont tell what their personalites are. But you can guess these 3 soldiers.


Sgt.Cobalt: Family man, retired police officer, fought in last Iraq Conflict.
Captain Bidwell: Too risky, takes the hardest missions, and works his soldiers to their knees.
Lt.Lancet: Drunk, loves his soldiers to death, he'll do anything to keep his men alive, gets in standoffs with the Captain.

Well their you have it. Some may like this little bit of info, and some may hate it. I would like to say more, but I am trying to keep the main story hidden until the perfect time,(when the campaign is halfway done). Also time to time I will give a estimated percent of how much is completed of the campaign. Thanks to all who read this post!!!

So far
ICW: 2%

Just another small update,
The ICW percent is low because of the storyboard just being finished, characters thought through, addons to be used finished. I am also going to take good time time on each mission to perfect it.




If anyone knows how to or to find instructions to making screenshots with DXDLL, please send them through, it would be much appreicated.

Hello, Hello!!!




*** This update is more about technical problems and what has been fixed and needs to be fixed. ***All that have nothing next to it needs to be fixed and it would be appreciated if helped.


*** *** *** ***Suitable Iraq Map: AfghanEveron (still need permission)
*** *** ***Suitable Allied Forces: FFUR ACU Personnal(Permission Granted)
*** *** *** Enemy Forces: Lobo Terrorists(still need permission)
*** *** *** ***Name Change: A Soldier's Honor *** *** *** *** ***
*** *** *** *** Weapons Pack : Unknown for time being *** *** *** ***
Here comes the technical issue

*** *** ***I need to update the weapons for the allied forces to the xm8, but to do this it is a painstakingly long time to change each soldiers weapon. ***What I need help on is, is there a way to make this process easy, like a trigger, or a logic that would be placed on a map, even if this means the same weapon for all the west soldiers?

***And the reason the name changes and the island changes is because I had issues with bothe 73 Eastings and MIA Iraz. ***If you want the two completed missions request here and I will publicly release. But if noone does it would be waste of time.

Missions

73 Eastings
1Camp
You start off inside of Al Bussayah and will take a chopper to assault a rebel camp. ***Very short, not even difficult, mainly the whole mission is for the end cutscene
2 Trench Warfare (Beware on most computers)
Heavy fighting in Al Bussayah, you will have to defend the town against oncoming waves of republican guards in a sand storm. ***You will throughout the entire complex to defend.

Both missions require a ton of addons, its not recommended to play the second mission. ***Also, I did not yet recieve permission to use the addons listed so far, so to get these missions it will require time as I get permission from the respected creators.

Thx and updates will come out as soon as possible


Edit:
I have updated my U.S. Soldiers to the FFUR ACU soldiers in from the upcoming FFUR 2006. I have gotten permission from Thuderbird84 to use them once they are released. The weapon pack has changed due to the change of soldiers.

There is also the Iran/Iraq map by Lost Brothers you could have used. It's a bit buggy tho.

To get a unit to use a different weapon theres a code you put in it's initialisation line but I can't remember what it is, sorry.

[Sgt.Storm]

Thanks, but for dial up for to download Iraq/Iran takes 22hrs. ***Also thanks about the code but that's what I've trying to work but I keep on getting amessage that says something abot "this" for some reason I'm screwing up the code after I followed the instructions.

but thanks for the advice your help is very appricated!



I said this would be a long time from now but here you guys go, more of the story(this is where you clap)

It's been two long weeks since the fighting stopped in Iraq and Afghanistan. Bin Laden is dead or missing, Al Qaeda has fallen, Iraq has stopped its attacks on the U.S. and what a happy ending! But on Monday May 10 in 2007, something goes wrong? Major blackouts in Basrah and Baghdad, no one knows whats going on. And the first day of the civil war on three fronts begin. A new fanatical group known only as the Chains of Jihad has arisen from the fighting and are trying to take over the three warring fronts of Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, for thier oil, land, wealth, and for its people. You play as Corporal(Your name here) in the 101st Airbourne Divsion A Company in Afghanistan conductiong peace operations before this new war. You wil be stationed right outside of ..... (I can't tell you too much can I, stay tuned for more on the intro to the campaign made by me Sgt.Storm and the people who created the wonderful addons used in the campaign). Good night everyone!
