(YOU WILL NEED THE BAS TONAL MOD INSTALLED TO MAKE THIS WORK. You can find it on the Operation Flashpoint Filefront site. NOTE, WE HAVE -ASKED FOR AND OBTAINED PERMISSION TO UTILIZE BAS FOR THE AFRICAN CAMPAIGN-. Any comments such as "You stole BAS!!!!!!" will be considered irrelevant and deleted.)
A set of three Alpha missions we've made for the start of the African campaign. In this download are : Alpha Mission Intro, Alpha Mission End (Loss), Alpha Mission : Note, this IS ALPHA. This is NOT the final mission, and any bugs/complaints encountered WILL BE FIXED. Currently, there is no campaign set up, so you must play these separately via the missions menu. The main mission includes so end trigger, so simply exit once you eliminate the guards. To install, place the files in your Missions folder. Post any complaints, suggestions, and bug reports here. KEEP IN MIND THIS IS AN ALPHA VERSION, NOT THE FINAL PRODUCT. Hope you enjoy the mission, -Red Dawn Mod Team
November 21st, 1963. After the Red Army decisively crushed American and Canadian forces in the Northwest Territories on October 7th, 1963, within a month-and-a-half, Canada has surrendered to the Soviet Forces. Several American counter-attacks were sent to repel the Soviets, but all have failed. Several weeks ago, the United States and the major powers of Europe have declared war on the USSR and all Warsaw Pact nations.
Meanwhile, the Afrika Kommunist Partya, a Russo-African communist revolutionary party, has risen up in Northern Africa, specifically in the countries of Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, and Egypt. On November 10th, 1963, several days after the declaration of war, the communist revolutionaries have risen up, and are revolting against their respective governments. Foreign advisors to the government, chiefly British and French, have assisted the governments of Northern Africa to form the NAC, North African Coalition, to combat the massive revolution. However, unbeknownst to the advisors, this is an extremely corrupt regime, and its armies, though numerous, are atrocious in quality.
As Spetsnaz agent Sgt. Ivan Chernokovsky, you have been selected to assist the revolutionaries. STAVKA is placing a good deal of faith in you after your incredible feats in the Northwest Territories, and expects you to execute the task with no little expertise.
In this mission, you have just been paradropped to your LZ, an abandoned homestead in the isolated deserts of Southern/Mid-Egypt. You must infiltrate a nearby government base and execute the colonel, who has sentenced tens of thousands of people in a nearby city to execution on allegations of Communist Party affiliations.
Post any and all of your bug reports here!
Sorry to ask but where do I place the files in my OFP directory :S
Havent played it OFP for a good few months
For BAS - it has its own read-me, use that.
For my mod - place all the files in the .rar in your missions folder. For me, it's "Program Files\Codemasters\Operation Flashpoint\Missions\".
It was a very nice mission, there was no major bugs I could see with the mission, it was just when i got near the rebels, the trigger went off saying "we're under attack!" and none of the rebels reacted, they just continued their patrol or standing still lol. And there was 1 other thing, but that has to do with the island itself. I turned a corner and saw few rebels sitting there, i fired at them and the bullets hit an invisible wall lol. Eventually they walked towards me out of through the invisible wall. All in all, very nice :D
Indeed, a current problem is I seem to have set the trigger range too wide. The player is expected to kill the patrol then reach it, but as-is, due to both distance and the night environment, the AI can't see the player. This will be fixed though.
