No mention in the readme about inspiration then? jk

I have VB6 from VS6(SP5) installed on my XP machine and it works fine.

BOO! I must of heard you I might make a return after my exams in a couple of weeks, to clean up the Blood Patch, but no promises

Exactly the same thing happened to me last week Strahd . Funny thing is, I kept a backup of gamedata.vfs all the time I was doing modding but only deleted it last week for disk space. Just my luck eh . I've not re-installed UFO:A yet and not sure I will. I think I might move on, I hear Silent Storm is pretty good . PS. Don't worry, I no way blame sigget, it was probably just my stupid fault, doH! Bloody newbs eh?

Thanks for the feedback davemartinez_34, I'll get round to improving it one of these days I'm afriad creating a plugin for 3DS, Lightwave or Maya is way beyond my abilities, so siggit's the man for the job. I'd preferably like to see a plugin for 3DS cos I've got a bit of experience with it. I've used Lightwave but only very very little.

Ahh I see, that makes sense

Try renaming cfg.vfs to modSoundEn.vfs . I wasn't around here in the ol' cfg.vfs days so I'm not 100% sure this will work. PS. Slaughter, there seem to be quite a few mods missing from http://www.ufoaftermath.co.uk/?c=Mods&p=mods#mods . I know the ALPine plugins have their own section, but some plugins are listed at the above link as well. PPS. Where is the link to http://www.ufoaftermath.co.uk/?c=Mods&p=mods#mods from the website? I can only seem to find links to the seperate sections. ???

I really don't like the idea of them speaking their mother language, and lets not get started on it being "relasitic" eh? The voices are helpful to know when an event or situation occurs. It won't be very useful if you haven't got a clue to what they're mumbling on about . Besides, I only speak English and a bit of french. Anyway, I'm off to bed... bonjour

Yep, sound effects and voices. That's the plan anyway

The latest camera plugin by Fulby can be found here I'm thinking about making another vid, got a few ideas in mind but might take a while ???

Yea, the blood patch modifies the particle settings. What do you mean by "lagged down"? The game slows down when there's a lot of fire/smoke on screen? Go to tactical\particles and find the fire effect/s that you want change. Try decreasing the NUM_OF_PARTICLES setting.

You do know you can still listen to the enemy hit/death screams without hearing the soldiers voices, yea? For those that don't know, uncheck: Options > Miscellaneous > Unit Messages I just tested it and it works alright for me I thought the introduction of the enemy screams were welcomed, I didn't realise people wanted to mute them

Sorry, forgot to mention you need the DivX codec, 5.0.5 or higher

There doesn't look like there's much interest, so I wouldn't make it your top priority . Though if you still want to do it, here are some of the sayings that are needed Scream - Ouch - Under attack - Under fire - doH! Plan completed - What next? - Requesting orders Target dead - Got him Target unconscious - I think I got him Confirmation attack - I'll get him - He's all mine - Leave it to me Confirmation generic - Will do - Yes sir - Acknowledged Confirmation move - Moving out No ammo - I'm out of ammo - I need ammo! No route - I can't get there Generic spotted - Enemy spotted - Hostile spotted - Incoming! Those are just some, for the rest see share\sound\wavs\exclamations . Of course, they don't have to be exactly the same words, think of different ways to say the same thing, if you know what I mean

Just a small mod to make a couple of changes to the geosphere view. The game refers to the helicopter as a Chinook but it only has one rotor. Maybe half a Chinook? . I didn't like the way UFO's and friendly aircraft were both red, so I changed that as well. Overview: - Changes the geoshpere helicopter model to a Chinook. - Changes the colour of friendly aircraft (Chinook, Eurofighter, F16 and F18) to blue. You will need ALPine to use this mod. The Chinook could still look better, but I had to edit the vertices of the model manually. Lets hope there's a model editor soon Download chinook.alp 25KB

Thanks again for the info sigget http://www.boks.staghosting.com/images/smilies/thumbup2.gif

I had the crazy idea of having animated clouds somehow by doing it the same way in which other animated marks are on the geosphere. I'm not sure how feasible it is, I had a brief look but decided it was beyond me ??? . Talking about marks on the geosphere, I don't suppose you know where the texture for the body of the helicopter is do you? I know about the animated rotors, but not the actual body of the chopper. Any ideas where this can be found? What do you mean about base layouts? You mean like custom missions in a base or a new way of generating the layout? Or am I way off? Tools needed, model editor! Looking in the docs about the 3d models, it refers to them being in the LGW 3D model format. Is LGW a standard 3d model format or is it a custom format ALTAR came up with? I haven't been able to find any information on it or what else uses it. If it was standard, shouln't there already be tools/plugins for editing it? Have you or anyone else been able to edit any of the models? Sorry, hope I didn't go too off topic :o

I'm not much good at graphics, so I'd be able to do it... but it would look crap ??? . Someone else would probably be better off doing it and I'm sure they'd make a better job of it than I could Fulby made a good tutorial on how to make ALPine plugins here. The docs in the Official Modding Tool should help you quite a bit and is the best place to start

Glad you like . Here's the ALPine Head Grenade plugin: headgrenade.alp 5KB For more information on ALPine and to download it , see http://fulby.v21hosting.co.uk . BlackAlmaz download the Official Modding Tool , the instructions are in the docs .

What versions are incompatable? Did UFO:A 1.2 only look for cfg.vfs for mods, or something like that? I hadn't touched modding back in those days ??? So what versions of ALPine work with what versions of UFO:A? Cheers.

It just replaces the model of the frag grenade, so everything else is the same . Here you go. Download modHeadGrenade.vfs 5KB

I've been playing about trying to make an in game trailer sequence and this is my 2nd attempt. It didn't turn out quite like what I had in mind cos I was going to add voices, sound effects and maybe music. Maybe I'll spend more time on the next one . Anyway, I thought it would be quite funny to swap the frag grenade model for a head... so that's what I did . Then I built on that and came up with this lil movie sequence. I should probably say it might not be for the faint hearted The new head grenade technology wasn't too popular with the new recruits... Download Head Grenade Movie 4.8MB (Requires DivX codec, 5.0.5 or higher) ... Well I thought it was pretty funny anyway PS. I just did it for a laugh, but just incase anyone wants the head grenade mod, let me know

Are you able to get any other ALPine plugins to work? Anyone else having any probs? Here's the vfs file for it if you can't get it to work with ALPine for some reason. Let me know if you still have any probs .

I think a ublock, kulisa and model editor for this game would be very useful to modders, including myself. If you do find the time to create a plugin for this, it would be great!

For a 35MB download, I'd want want more than just the geoshpere looking a little better. Not really worth it in my most humblest of opinions . By all means, try it out and let me know if you disagree . If you're going to make a mod out of it, at least do it for a few resolutions so the user can choose their preference . Just my 2p worth.
