Modding is limited to using existing assets but even then there is a tremendous amount you can do with the integtaed LUA map editor - much of the limitations come from CodeMasters never releasing the SDK when they decomissioned the game and we tried to ask nicely - however, there was a really impressive tool called EDx that is an editor addon that simplifies a ton of tedious coding link below Severly under-rated game - if you like tactical and are tired of the 13yr old runNgunner, this is worth getting to know.

Firstly it really depends on what you mean by modding, in the context of DR it can mean any of the following: 1. Adding new content i. Of those, items 1 and 2 are available. Item 3 is actually feasible but faces significant technical challenges that have never been surmounted due to the lack of modding tools and knowledge of the engine. Overcoming these obstacles would require a huge effort to analyse the game at the assembly level, due to the age of the game and its relative obscurity it is unlikely that this will ever be accomplished despite significant progress being made in the game's heyday.
A significant amount of this information can still be gleaned from the previously mentioned forum, you may even find someone there who knows what they're talking about.

Another excellent resource is the forums dead link. Almost all of them have separate discussion boardss for mission editing. Remember to search for what you're looking for before asking!
In the "init" section of the object, you can add weapons to the object by inserting the following statement:. For example, if you want to add 15 Mortars to a truck you named "convoy5", you would insert the following statement:.
To add ammunition magazines to the object, instead of weapons, just replace the command "AddWeaponCargo" with "AddMagazineCargo". This will add a new item to the player's Action menu. When the action is selected from the menu, the script named "script. You can add these actions only to a player's unit, not to AI units. When you use this for multiplayer missions, use the name of the unit instead of the word "player" in the previous example.
You can also remove these actions. You need to set an "ID" for the "addAction" function, as in the following example:. Use the following function to remove an added action from the action menu:. Unfortunately, there is a bug that limits you to removing only the first added action.
As of OFP version 1. JPG , here are the step-by-step instructions to implement displaying flags in your missions:. Customized flag's JPG files must be placed into the directory where your other mission files are located. To delete several objects at once, hold down the left mouse button and drag a selection box around the objects to be removed and then press the DELETE key. After you do that, I suggest reading this FAQ item as well. You could always create your own OFP mission download webpage somewhere and brag on the forums dead link about it.
However, unless you're an already well known mission maker, your claims will often be ignored and few will bother downloading your missions.
So, if you're really that good, here's a better idea! Several of the sites listed in this FAQ item allow you to submit your mission files to the site's mission database for downloading, reviewing and ranking by OFP players worldwide. It is suggested that you submit your missions in compressed ZIP file format. In a January 3 interview with OFP. One such tool is called Oxygen. Another one is called Visitor. You can read a little bit about them in this FAQ item. The EU adds support for nearly new objects.
If you've got OFP version 1. The latest version of Kegetys' Editor Addon, 1. For OFP version 1. The latest version, 1. Now, the big question is "is it safe"? The answer is that, using OFP version 1. As for OFP version 1. I'm not sure. Your mileage may vary, of course. Not easily. For example, in the official OFP campaign mission "Search And Destroy", you cannot do anything at all with the scud launcher. It was originally meant to be an aesthetic prop and not much more.
However, there is a script that allows you to target the scud anywhere on a map and launch it. The explosion consists of a series of smaller explosions, something like a cluster bomb.
Since it is a script, you're going to have to make a mission with it or find a mission that employs it. As sold, no, OFP has no winter scenery whatsoever. OFP addon expert, Kegetys, has created two modified versions of Kolgujev island. What's the difference between them?
Winter Nogojev uses higher resolution textures for terrain, foliage, structures and vehicles that are not supported by versions of OFP prior to OFP: Resistance. Not only that, Nogojev also includes all the arctic soldiers that were previously in Winter Kolgujev, as well as all of the units from Ash's Arctic Armor Pack and Kegetys' Winter Vehicles addons. Sounds good, right? Not so fast! There's a catch. If you've got OFP: Resistance, you cannot install both Winter Kolgujev and Nogojev islands because the two addons conflict with each other and are mutually exclusive.
Furthermore, if you've got existing missions that reference arctic soldier units from the old Kegetys' Winter Kolgujev, Ash's Arctic Armor Pack or Kegetys' Winter Vehicles addons and you now install Nogojev island, those missions will no longer work unless you edit them. Kegetys' OFP site is here. You can download all of his and other's old and new winter addons from there. If you're having problems downloading these addons from Kegetys' own site, you should be able to find and download them from one of the popular OFP editing sites instead.
If you want to convert missions you have from using Winter Kolgujev to the newer Winter Nogojev, follow these instructions. For combined winter addon and mission download packs, go and have a look at WinterOFP. OFP includes a small island, called the desert training island but it is not very impressive. The training island is completely empty of foliage and buildings and is rather a bore though there are some good user made missions designed for the training island.
