From Flashpoint to Arma - 10 Years Later

http://www.bistudio.com/index.php/english/company/developers-blog/233-from-flashpoint-to-arma

it's called Making Of: Operation Flashpoint but I guess more accurately it's the "early days" of Bohemia Interactive

well worth a read for those of you not familiar with Bohemia's roots (and still worth it for those who are )

Since this part of the forums are heavily lagged down because of all the new postings that get here ......

anyone fancy some games?

would love to try some coop, i've just started working on a few new missions, now i'l trying to limit the amount of mods needed ( ecp, and SebNAM ), and wen't back to the nam area....

Gonna do a few missions there, now that i'm starting to get things to work.

but, just playing them in sp isn't all that fun ( though i do like that too), i would love to play them, and a ton of other missions in mp, coop mode, so, are anyone else here stil playing the game?

with the mods mentioned here?

anyone?

(ps. got an email tracer set on this, with instantly reports to me when reply are posted )

They have the game and the Gold Upgrade at our local EB Games (used...very inexpensive...hehe....).

Think I should get it?

What kind of modding can you do to this game?

Thanks....

I have also gone down to Morton, and I didn't see any Black Hawks leaving the area. I got really lucky running straight to Morton (I always run the game on the Mercenary setting), and I heard over the radio that the last evac was just leaving, but I did not see any Black Hawk taking off. Did I miss something, or does the game just give audio with no real video representation?

-I bought the GOTY edition of the game yet some functions arent present...for starters i cant get the third person view to function. I use the assigned key and it doesnt work..what could the possible problem be??

-I have tried downloading patches/addons/mods (sorry not completely up to speed with pc functions) anyhow i downloaded a delta mod yet cant get the darn rar file to work..what exactly am i supposed to be doing with the rar file?? am i supposed to send to disk and go from there? what do i do? (i know these sound like basic pc function sections but hey i need the help). Hell the rar files say i dont have the proper program to open it....though i did somehow manage to run the 1.96 version patch on the game itself.

thanks for any and all help..

In the OFP Preferences utility, OFP indicates that it has found '1520' RAM. A quick check with Task Manager shows that OFP is using less than 500MB of memory. Does anybody know how I can get it to use a full GB, and whether or not this would improve performance? Thanks for the help - I promise I've looked through everything I can find with Google on the topic.

Recently, I played the full version (GOTY) at a friends house and I never realized what I have been missing!

I'm now a proud owner, but can anybody recomend to me any must-have addons/mods?

OPFEC is down, It could be serious this time

Nothing to add at present except that its a hardware problem and we're doing all we can to fix it.  News and developments will be published here when we have them.  Apologies for the inconvenience.   

OFPEC is currently down due to hardware fault.

Our talented technical support crew are working on the problem around the clock to bring the site back up again.

We will update this page when more progress is made, and hope you will bear with us during this period.

The Team @ OFPEC

Sunday 17th October - Mission : Spearhead (Afghan war).

Nino on the left with the RPG, me in the middle with the shades, and T on the right sporting his winter 1979 'Soviet Pirate' ensemble. Yarr.

T taking a short breather just before our first attempt to attack the enemy-held Al Jarud. T's character is undoubtedly the best looking. Nice beard.

Sart saluting me, the assistant squad leader. He knows who's boss.

Sart as the medic. Dig that funky helmet, daddio.

T takes a stroll while Nino points his RPG at me. I won't lie to you - I was terrified.

Finally, the target that gave us so much trouble. Three trucks and a fuel station. Many Comrades died to destroy this place.

After a 3 days downtime, all the site content is back online including addons, videos and all the hosted files.

The ofp.gamezone.cz address isn't working anymore, you can use any of the following links:

http://ofp.info
http://ofp.gamepark.cz
.info]http://[OFP: DR].info

We are working on fixing some pages for hosted mods having dead links in them.

Concerning all the links being used in readme files in missions or addons, we will try to see if it is possible with the new Gamezone domain owner to make a redirection to our site, but it is beyond our control.

Meanwhile, since the site structure has remained the same, when you are trying to download an addon using the old links, replace "gamezone" by "gamepark" in the link and it should work.

We are really sorry for the inconvenience and the whole OFP.info team is very grateful to all the support and kind words we have received in the forums or by email!

They lost their domain name Ouch that's gonna hurt, every OFP mod for years has used their site as one of the main D/L mirrors, gonna be a lot of broken links out there

Got my goty ed. today

got my hands on a brand new copy ( well, unused atleast ) of it for about 9£ ink. taxes and postage, must say it wasn't a too bad deal-

was just in an checked their pages again, but they don't have it there anymore, as far as i can tell, so i must have gotten the last one....

(btw, might need a couple of helping hands with a couple of missions i'm working on...)

We have been around for 2 years and have a solid member base.

We have Australian, Uk and New Zealand members and only accept people over 18 yrs of age.

We have a dedicated server located in South Australia on a 100mbit connection so is lag free for Uk and Aussie based players.

If you are interested in joining a well organised group of 30 members then email me on royalmarines_3lions@hotmail.com or contact us via our website www.members.optusnet.com.au/royalmarines

Rambos need not apply as we are a team based brigade.

We are well known and well respected in the community and have had write ups done about us on the @war and opflashpoint.org news sites.

Cheers all

I have posted in the official forums, got a bit of help...but I couldn't find anything in detail...

Here is the situation..and hopefully you can understand me...

I'm trying to learn and play this game...got the GOTY around summer..and never played it properly...

Lately, got lots of mods...lots of g sitting on my hard drive...but still cannot see the whole potential of the game...

Here is what I want to do:

I wanna start playing coop missions and CTI...and make OFP look a bit better graphics wise (dxdll). I want to introduce OFP to the other members of my team which if I confused them as much as I'm confused with all the downloads and the mods and all that...they will get put off for sure...

Because of the learning curve of this game...all the members when they answer is like you know what they are talking about...but i don't...

So:

1. How can I set up an OFP server (win xp) on my dedicated server?

2. I need something that will improve the graphics. Is dxdll the tool and what settings?

3. I want to start playing some coop with a couple of members learning the game. Any suggestions on missions and any simple/nice mods i will need?

Basically, imagine that you want to introduce OFP to a friend of yours...but keep it simple at the beginning...

thanks
