[Big-Rooney]

Finally.

Today I've released the newest version of the Modern Combat - SLX Mod. Version 1.1 is a new complete rewrite of the the original mod and has been drastically improved and updated with new scripts and new units. it doesn't require any previous version of the mod so delete the old one before you install the new one.

Installation Notes:
----------------------------

To install the modification simply extract the @MCM-SLXv1.1.7z using 7-Zip or WinRar anywhere on your computer. Remove any old @MCM-SLX from your computer. Then move the folder over the the main Operation Flashpoint directory usually "C:\program files\codemasters\operation flashpoint". Then change the shortcut launch parameters to whatever your Operation location is. The current shortcut is set to "F:\program files\codemasters\operation flashpoint". Change this if need be and also change the Target location which is set to "F:\program files\codemasters\operation flashpointFLASHPOINTRESISTANCE.exe" -nosplash -nomap -mod=@MCM-SLX. Change this if need be.

New Misc Stuff:
--------------------

- New Options system that allows you to change a lot of stuff in the mod to your own preference. Just like the GRAA by sanctuary.
- New Sounds for most weapon systems.
- New Intro movies and music.
- Nice new GUI. Much tidier than the last one. Softer on the eyes to.

There is much more new stuff that was added but I cant't remember it all. The readme has all the info you need.

MP Play:
-------------

Unfortunately with the addition of the Option system. MP playing is now totally uncontrollable and probably will result in a CTD error when you try to play online. Don't worry though I will find a solution and will try to release a version that is playable with Multi-player. At the moment I don't know what MP play will result in.

ArmA:
--------

I'm now getting into the ArmA coding works. I've already coded some large replacement stuff for my self and am working on a good little project on the ArmA front. I will be exclusively be working on my ArmA work now but I will update the mod if necessary and when it is needed with bug-fixes, additions etc.

Good to see progress and a release on this mod. It's too bad you shifted most of you're attention over to arma . Now to try this one out with my new hardware upgrades. Also why is the Su-27 called Su-27K ? it should be SU-27SM unless it is the carrier based variant (su-33).

Congratulations, good to see this version finally released.

EDIT : I am getting an error in the resistance BMP-1P (Malyutka error)

[Supernova]

I wish there are more mirrors for this though like from ofp.gamepark.cz etc..

[Anguis]

Thanks for this mod! I've briefly played with the editor and the 'Steal the Car' mission - I love the sounds and am anxious to give it a thorough try; your screenshots do a really good job grabbing one's attention.

Three questions:

1. I'm new to OFP. What are the batch files in the @MCM-SLX directory for (I've looked in the readme pdf and can't find their use)?

2. Is there a way to change Malden and Everon to versions with different foliage?

3. Is there a technical reason why I should not want to change the islands (AI issues)?

Thanks. again!

OK. First testing goes with a few bugs.
VDV soldier after mounting PSO-1 muzzle flash remains there permanently after unmounting muzzle flash disappears (so far every time I mount the PSO-1 a permanent muzzle flash appears - problem does not occur on GP-25 ak-74m or on mounting AK-74).
Tokarev needs to be replaced by APS and PMM.
Hand visible through ammo box on PKM.
PG-7VL should be used instead of PG-7V.
Upon loading VDV sniper i get error message "picture equip\w\w_svddragunov_sf.paa" not found.
VDV recon should have AKS-74M not AKS-74 and ability to mount/dismount scopes.
2A70 should be 2A70 100mm.
Russia should not have BTR-152 (taken out of service in 1993) instead use a BTR-70.
Rebel BMP-1P should be BMP-1 and it gives magic error upon loading
No type-59 mbt listed in editor
