is that one of the convoy trucks?
they really go when they go, always amazes and pleases me how high they get with a little bit of explosive encouragement

Yeah, it's from a convoy. It was really cool, it did a flip-and-a-half before it landed there.

Great one fragger - that's what I really like about FC2 - even though you destroy things, kill mercs, it is never really exactly the same - introduces enough variation to keep it interesting!  :-X

I think it's the same place and convoy... not sure though... but look at it :) (took that pic in may)

Here at Art's car lot, we sell only slightly damaged used merc cars. ;D You can call them Pre-owned Merc cars.

Hey, I think one of the mercs that came in today is reallly interested in the Red truck with the IED damage. I better get my commision on this sale. ;D

:) OK, Art, I concede, you are definitely top dog in the vehicles-on-the-roof stakes!
Sounds like a musical, doesn't it? "Vehicle on the Roof". If I were a rich merc...
BTW, mine was at the GP to the SW of the NW bus stop in Leboa.

hehe, and you are the master roof-heater :) Just visited that GP, not the same one. I think mine was in Bowa.

I'm afraid that your merc won't be buying anything any more having rendered him a figurehead on my Gren Truck. But he presented us with his used-but-well-preserved assault truck as an asset to our business.  ;D

Here, I think I found a way to keep your (and everyone else's) shack warm. Real warm.  ;D

Just thinking how you started the topic, I want to add a caption for the previous pic :)

"Allow me to demonstrate how quickly the heating system 'VOLCANO' responds. How overwhelmingly fast it reaches maximum temperature. It comes with this shapely remote control for easy access. Its tremendous reach allows for a very remote control indeed. A must-have, I'd say, virtually indispensable if you want to impress your neighbours down the road."  ;D

I love how in the picture above, you can see a couple of merc's running for their lives on the road in the center of the picture. :-X ;D

Same here, and along those lines of thought - it is fun to start fires off to the side of an area and watch them carefully back away from it.  Because the mercs treat fire as a separate threat, it is easy to create such a distraction and get your job done.
Title: Re: How to keep your shack warm
Post by: Art Blade on August 25, 2009, 12:33:02 PM
Since those singed mercs had fire in their back, they ran away from it - straight into my arms... in which by then I had an MP5... so I opened fire and they got ground in between two "lines of fire"  ;D

In the pic below (fractions of a second after the previous) you can recognise them better, now that you know they are there :)

Can't help it, whenever I see the last pic I have to admire the dynamics of fire and explosions of FC2. I particularly like those smoke trails of flying-away debris across the scene. One of my favourite screenshots I ever took :)

Sweet capture, Art! :-X
I love the pyro effects in FC2. Superb!

A late "cheers, mate" hehe  :)

The only shack that's actually mine is the armoury, and now I found a way to get the frost out  ;D

y'know, these shots kinda get me thinking, what's the biggest explosion/fire you can create at once in the normal game? Sure, you can create a map with 100,000 propane tanks in it, but what can you do with the supplies in the normal game? Since the small propane tanks are so touchy they don't like being kicked around too much, it's hard to stack them together, or get them into a vehicle (the devs missed the boat big time with that). But there are a few places where there are enough explosives around that you may possibly be able to get them close enough to each other to get a decent chain reaction going.

I'm talking using one IED or grenade to set the thing off, or shoot a tank and let it go from there. Have fun with that one...........

I´d say the post office would be a likely candidate  ;)

yeah, weelegol and sefapane too  :) In sefapane I once managed to set the entire town on fire with one shot. The wind was helping me, but still :) There are welding tanks (yellow slim tubes) that whirl around setting everything on fire, yellow barrels, those tiny propane tanks and of course real explosives ammo and two flammables ammo stands..., red barrels... insane :) plus, two cars. At least the AT behind the HQ building with a yellow barrel next to it usually sets the explosives on fire, then the welding tank, which sets a propane tank and the flammable ammo at HQ on fire... from there the small propane tank across the street has a welding tank for comrade... I love Sefapane for it :)

How did you do that?
Title: Re: How to keep your shack warm

start a fire behind it.  :)

Something new to try! Think I'll save first though, if the bullet ammo cooks off it'd be like being inside a popcorn maker ;D
Ricochets! That's something I'd like to see modelled in a game!
Title: Re: How to keep your shack warm
Post by: Art Blade on September 24, 2009, 06:37:39 AM
hehe, ricochets will be modelled in OFP:DR.

And yes, setting the armoury alight does give you the impression of being in a popcorn maker and a microwave oven ;D
