Ops Mod / Single Mission Idea

oRGy · 09-06-05, 08:08 AM

Hi;

The Ops mod (in RuB 1.43) adds historical operations for Operation Rheinubung, the last battle of the Bismarck, and some mediterranean stuff, if I recall the threads correctly.

I was thinking that the single missions in default SH3 already do some of this, so if I load them now - say the Bismarck one - I'll get two Bismarck's/etc fighting it out because single missions load up the campaign first, right?

I was thinking if thats the case then it would be an idea to replace these missions with ones set up like in the Scapa Flow mission - the uboat is just dropped in the right place, in the right time, at the right date, and with the historical weather conditions set up. The player then has great fun doing whatever it is they do.

Though to do this, I need:

1) The Operation in question (Bismarck, Narvik operation, others?)
1) Location (exact)
2) Time and Date (exact)
3) Historical Weather

Any of the Ops guys care to contribute? I'm not an obsessive war history buff so I'm actually quite vague about exactly where and when to go see the ops stuff happening, never mind make a single mission based on it.

I offered previously but it was ignored, but here we go again. For Bismarck, i have about 12 missions made, for each episode of Rhenubung. They all work, as shown in Bismarck movie i made. If anyone wants I can share them. They have the correct time, locations, directions and more or less accurate weather.

The only thing that's not complete are the descriptions in the menu start up screen. The rest is fine.

That would be very helpful, thanks Type941. As for the others, any ideas?

Not me. I don't think I have ever played one of the single mission barring those I made myself for testing purposes.

The Ops-Mod is about the campaign. reworking the single missions to work with it is not even on the agenda I'm afraid. Too many things that do need done.

I'm not asking you ops guys to rework the missions, I'm rather just asking if someone could give me exact details on when some of the events happen so I can rework them myself, for Iub. It's sort of a bug fixing exercise, really.

Anyway Egan, care to enlighten us on whats in the next version of Ops? I'm intrigued and currently enjoying the Norwegian campaign ingame...
