************************************************************************ The Avon Lady's Operation Flashpoint Cold Cream Mission Pack Version 2.0 ************************************************************************ Copyright © 2001 The Avon Lady, all rights reserved. So there! Avon's OFP Cold Cream Mission Pack lets you play the Winter Kolgujev Island versions of officially supplied single player and 1985 Coldwar Crisis campaign missions that take place on Kolgujev Island. The pack's mission make use of the Winter Island addons arctic soldier classes. For NATO soldiers, the standard soldier classes have been changed to the equivalent arctic soldier classes wherever possible. For Soviet soldiers, only the saboteur, sniper and officer soldier classes have been converted to their equivalent artic classes. The reason why all Soviet soldier classes have not been converted to arctic soldier classes is because this would have made the game overly difficult for the player. Whereas the player would be at a visual disadvantage had all the Soviet soldiers been outfitted in arctic camouflage uniforms, the AI unit's software logic of enemy (i.e., NATO) identification is not effected by the presence or the lack of the arctic camouflage uniforms supplied in the Winter Island addon. Major thanks go to fellow squadmate Veit Wiessner for explaining to me how the missions could be modified to use the arctic soldier classes and for actually doing a major portion of the modifications himself. MaxRes, Veit! You must have Kegetys' Winter Kolgujev Island addon installed in order to play these missions. You can download a copy of the Winter Kolgujev Island addon from The Avon Lady's OFP FAQ: http://www.theavonlady.org/theofpfaq/ . If you have problems downloading the Winter Kolgujev Island addon from the FAQ's site, please check other OFP fan sites for the file. If you still cannot find it elsewhere, inquire on one of the many OFP forums or on the OFP newsgroup, alt.games.operation-flashpoint, as to where the Winter Kolgujev Island can be downloaded from. The missions contained in this mission pack are copied from the original mission files in OFP version 1.30. If you are running a prior version of OFP, errors may be encountered when trying to play some of the Cold Cream Pack's missions. Prior to installing the Cold Cream Mission Pack, it is recommended that you delete mission files from any prior Cold Cream Mission Pack you may have installed. To install Avon's OFP Cold Cream Mission Pack, simply extract the contents of the zipped file to OFP's MISSIONS subdirectory. When you run OFP and select SINGLE PLAYER from OFP's main menu, the Cold Cream missions will appear on the scrollable left side of mission book. Cold Cream missions begin with the following prefixes: W85 - Winter versions of missions from the official 1985 Coldwar Crisis Campaign WSP - Winter versions of officially supplied single player missions.
