Title: Mission: Destroy Airfield
Post by: lockie on December 31, 2011, 12:59:20 AM
At this moment mission at the testing. Here we are!
Download (http://www.4shared.com/rar/Sl9MyESw/Mission_Destroy_Airfield_18.html). Weight: ~57Mb
The mission was made on the NTA 1.3. base. There's only one variant of installation: full.
As usually, full variant made on the base as “INSTALL-PLAY-UNINSTALL”. So, BE WARNING, that when the mission has finished - don't forget to UNINSTALL it or use it at your risk.

Lockie's missions usually have to be activated and deactivated because he has a lots of his own variants of vehicles in his ME which are not compatible with the standard game!

As usually, u've to uninstall it after mission over. Can't help myself to make out a new things :D At this time vs kindness help from Donken. He created a hangar. The idea of this mission has more than one year, right immediately, when I saw a mod "airplanes" by SHUN. I started to make a mission, but without hangar it would look completely unrealistic. But today thanks to Donken, I can introduce this mission finally :)

Frinik, as usually u're right :) Unfortunately, almost all my missions contains a new stuff, which is not compatible with a standard modes. For example, in this mission I included some new units: Jagdpanzer, hangar and jagdpanther with new camo.

ps
Hope in the next year to see a real battle in town(pantherturm model by Maleshkin).

Bummer  :( I'm not a big fan of these kinds of installs/uninstalls. No offense towards you lockie it's me, I always forget to uninstall after I'm done and then wonder why my SFK42 won't fire up afterwords, I swear I'm getting senile  :P But this mission sounds to good to pass up, maybe a post-it note on my monitor to remind me?  ;D
Cheers

Well, may be I should create a separate mod, i.e. NUM(new units mod) :D
And just make a "mission-update" to it according to the current release.

Are you talking about the jagdpanzer IV L70 Lockie???? :D You are also planning to use panther turrets as pillboxes as the Germans did in Italy on the East front?

Haha Lockie,
you beat me with releasing an airfield mission by a few hours. Well done!
My Barbarossa campaign includes also an airfield mission.
Btw: where does the Hangar came from? Could you release it as a mod for us poor guys?

Rends

Yep. I've a plan to create a mission in the town(inspired by Donken) and apply a pantherturm and new buildings with a soldiers inside. And I would be pleased, if Rends will have a possibility to join for mission/polygon creating.  Also I'll ask deviator to take a part in this project.

:)
This mission has a long story. I started it more than 1 year ago and stopped at the ~70% The reason was simple - I lost interest, coz of hangar absent.

Would be interesting to have a look!

The idea was mine, some pictures of hangar sent me comrade SVN and I shared those pictures vs Donken and finally - we've a hangar :)
Of course, I can release it as mod for all SF community! With my pleasure!
Here is a link:

And to avoid to start a new topic, there will be a new introductory mission for Jagdpanzer IV/L70(model by Donken, texture by Maleshkin). Now mission is under testing. Hope to see a new tank PzIV H (shyrzen) included.

Of course - YES!
First, it will be as usually a separate mode by author Donken, then I'll release a mission vs "all inclusive". But I really need to see a final model of Pz IV H(shyrzen) (Authors: Mistwalker and Donken).

ps
Jagdpanzer has a cockpit :)

ps
Specially for Frinik there will be a big painass to get a victory on the balance 10 ;)


Title: Re: Mission: Destroy Airfield

Yeah thanks Lockie!Balance 10, balance 10!

Oh it's with the T-44 I throught it would be a Jagdpanzer mission???


Title: Re: Mission: Destroy Airfield
Post by: lockie on January 13, 2012, 04:17:44 PM
I thought it would be a Jagdpanzer mission???
Not yet. It'll be possible, suppose at the end of January.


Title: Re: Mission: Destroy Airfield
Post by: lockie on January 15, 2012, 02:54:57 AM
We have a right way and try to be getting as closer as possible to it ;)
We've a new model! And I'm sure Pantherturm is working! And thanks to Maleshkin and SVN! (Well, may be me also :))
Anyway, it works as an alpha at least ;)

It's unfortunate that the infantry guzzles so many fps in SF because with the German and Soviet pillboxes, the new buildings and soon the Pantherturm you could made terrific mass-infantry driven missions like in those rts....

Well, it depends only on the mission. Of course, there should be a check - how many tanks will take a part in the mission. Suppose, 30 pieces will be OK.


Title: Re: Mission: Destroy Airfield
Post by: frinik on January 15, 2012, 06:12:48 AM
But very single new mod has produced a decrease in the number of fps.I made a mission with Steel Panzer mod 1.4 with no less than 300 infantry along with 42 tanks against 24 tanks on the German side and I still managed to getd ecent framerates in the mid to upper twenties.With either NTA 1.3 or 1.4 this would be impossible to recreate even with my more powerful gpu.


Title: Re: Mission: Destroy Airfield
Post by: lockie on January 15, 2012, 11:40:19 AM
Pantherturm will be adjusted vs a 3 LODs. I think master Donken will help me ;)
Meanwhile, may be we'll see soon a new version of IS-2, M4A1. and sov. infantry.

ps
As my point, the quantity of infantry should not be more than 150.

Frinik, did u manage to finish the mission "airfield" at the balance "10"? ;)


Title: Re: Mission: Destroy Airfield
Post by: frinik on January 25, 2012, 01:16:04 AM
Uhhhhhh no! ;D but it wasn't for lack of trying....


Title: Re: Mission: Destroy Airfield
Post by: lockie on January 25, 2012, 08:57:38 AM
Any balance more than "5" is pure suicide :) Well, even "5" is extremely difficult, though it has a chance to complete the mission, if decrees enemy experience to level "3".


Title: Re: Mission: Destroy Airfield
Post by: frinik on January 25, 2012, 06:51:50 PM
Ok I 'll water down my wine and try it at balance 5.... ::)
