I got my ofp working again! Now i'm attempting another map.
I funally got bothered to reinstall ofp and start work on a map for it. It's going pretty good. Lets hope I get it released this time. I'm sure I will as I really like the feel to it. As my last propper attempt was more of an apocolypse, using the full count of everything.
Basically...
You are the resistance, you hate everyone. (fine by me!)
There a trucks and things left over from both sides, they are defended, the russians hold a strategic point on the island. The big revene thingy, they have a helo, so to destroy the helo you have to cross the waters to that small island with the hanger on it without being blown up and take an american AH1 which is guarded by americans (duu...) there is also a troop carrier for the rest of your squad, these have little ammo and armour so you must get them repaired. In the end you have to combine Helos, troops and tanks to defete the russian stronghold then destroy a town held by the americans.
So far that damn helo keeps destroying me so to get to the boat I put an M113 and a vulcan in (I originally had an M113 and a 5T truck but the truck kept getting blown to bits, about 3 times and you could never escape). It's not all that big but i've tried to make the player think about what he/she's doing rather than going in GUNG HO and shooting everythin in sight. After the 3rd night its looking pretty playable. Having all the vehichles that you need gaurded makes it slightly different, the feeling being that each side did not want to give up their propperty, and having some of the helos have almost no fuel makes it so that you cant use the helo to do the whole mission, plus there is AA and AT soldiers so you have to implement each force to combat the threat.
I'm not putting a relase date on it yet as I am pretty busy right now. I'm cutting out my i82 nights to do it. I wish I had resistance though.
Will it be Multiplayer - the second version will be and i'll probably add to it or just make it harder... for online usage - that is if its any good!
No matter, hopefully some people still have the original version to hand.

Send it through email or link from your ISP.
Mind you almost nobody ever tests maps or if they do they won't tell you about it.
I'm jst poslishing up my Berlin Island Map.
Basically you crash on an island and have to make your way to an extraction point. Except there is a BIG WALL across the island and a few guys there to stop you. Lucky for you it's night and you have night vision. Other then that your screwed!
Just wondering if I should make a respawn in it or whether it needs more enemies.
Also i made this map as a GunFighters Special originally, lots of guns, but it has evolved into something a little better.
I'm also working on a vehicle grave yard type map. 3 player Deathmatch. Lots of semidead vehicles to play with.
Re: hosting
Yeh, its polished, just needs a briefing and some objectives. I've got into editing and finding scripts. I'm going to download a artillery thing so that it can take out the helos that guard the - too much detail
