Quick Note: Version 0.8.2 is now up on SimHQ.

They said it could never be done. Well, I said it could never be done. Being wrong can be a good thing:


Yes, that's right. Not only can you now see your pilot in OFFbase, thanks to a custom vector-based bilinear-sampling image renderer, but you can also change your pilot's photo when you rank up. No fiddling with image files, renaming dossiers or logs, changing XML data--the OFFice incomplete campaign editor takes care of all that crap for you.

This fellow will make a great Adjutant someday:


And you can also edit your background info, with much more room including paragraphs, to keep track of his exploits and injuries. So show off your pilot.

But it's not just you! Yes that's right, you'll see who you encounter, and watch your fellows encounter each other in glorious low-definition 2D black and white!


So go get OFFbase 0.8.1. It's up on CA now, and hopefully soon at SimHQ as well. If you haven't played it before, and even if you have, you're about to get a lot closer to your squadmates. And there are more surprises in store as well...

Looks really good. Unfortunately, even though I've installed as directed (I think),
it hangs while "simulating RFC-1"......it just stops working. What's supposed to
happen and why isn't it, do you think?

update: it seems to hang at "cannot access CustomSkinsOFF in path offsettings\CustomSkinsOFF
(I don't seem to have that path or folder)

igor7111, are you running without Hat in the Ring? That might be it. Let me know if that's the case and I'll see if I can disable the custom skin stuff if you don't have HitR.

Seriously, elephant? That would be amazing. There's no reason NPCs should be bound to the 100 pilot photos like your fellow is, and some of those stock photos--the lowest quality ones--could be replaced.

I'll PM you.

All this stuff is so much more fun with photos:

Too bad their facial expressions never change:

Version 0.8.2 which fixes this problem and a couple others for those without Hat in the Ring is now up at Combat Ace. Fixes a couple other small issues so everyone should go get it. Hopefully it'll find its way to SimHQ soon as well.

Thanks to guod, 0.8.2 is now up on SimHQ so the link in my signature is good. Also in SimHQ's OFF downloads you'll find a repacked version of RAF_Louvert's New Medal Mod, compatible with OFFice.
