Miles Teg from the Lost Brothers Mod has posted 4 work in progress pictures of new IDF units, the S13 Naval Commandos, Spike SR ATGM and Shipon AT rocket systems, in the BI Forums.
Model39 from the Wrzesien 1939 mod team has posted some excellent looking work in progress screenshots on our forums showing the numerous addons the mod is working on.
Works on our mod goes further. Mialczyk joined to the team. One can see his textures on Bf 109 Dora. There are 7TP light tank, wz.34 armoured car, BF 110 C as well as polish infantery. All addons dropped into Arma by Jaksa.
Synide has released two new tools for the ArmA addon editing scene.
The first one named p3dm2lxo can convert a p3dm to Lightwave file format (LWO). The second utility named synMoveUV can merge textures together and shift UV's associated with those textures in the model to the appropriate place. If you don't understand a single word of it, don't worry, addonmakers do !
Since it seems that some people didn't notice it, our Operation Flashpoint 1 website OFP.info can't be reached directly with ofp.info address anymore, since domain name expired (we didn't own it and tried to backorder it) on January, the 1st.
So you can still connect to OFP.info using the ofp.gamepark.cz address and probably update your bookmarks too because we don't really expect to get the domain name redirection back.
IceBreakr from the SBP team, has released an updated version of SBP Slovenian Soldiers addon, by Smukec[SBP] and IceBreakr[SBP], on the BI Forums. This update features more realistic skin colors, faces representing real Slovenian soldiers, fixed bug: able to select satchels/grenades after respawn.
