MF Conquer the Island (MFCTI) v1.16 for OFP: Resistance 1.85+

Visit the site at: http://mfcti.sourceforge.net

Included with this release are the Everon missions and addon.

Installation:

Method 1:  Unzip the files into your root game directory.  The mission will be placed in your MPMissions directory and the mfcti1.15.pbo addon in your Addons directory.

Method 2:  Unzip to a temporary folder and put the missions in your MPMissions directory.  Put the 'mfcti1.15.pbo' file into your Addons directory.


Quick Start:

You will need to start a multiplayer game even if you want to practice in single player.  There are 9 slots per side.  The bottom slot (and only one that is an officer) is the commander.  Select this role if you wish to build a base and manage everything.  It is suggested you play a regular soldier at first and watch the AI commander at work.  Capture some towns, get a feel for how the income system works, and buy a few troops and vehicles.

Server notes:

Below is a list of parameters that can be used for different game effects.

Game Parameters:

Fast Game - Income is increased.  Each team gets more starting resources and 2 jeeps are available at the start.
Less Units - Vehicle limit is set to 10 and AI team size is set to 6.  Use this for slower computers, single player practice, or to help lag.
Limited Radar - All vehicle radar ranges are greatly reduced.  Good for stealth games.
Night Mission - Games starts at night.

Victory Conditions:

Take Towns - Victory is achieved by the first side to take the specified amount of towns or destroy the enemy base and MHQ.
Points - Victory is achieved by the first side to gain the specified amount of points or destroy the enemy base and MHQ.
Time - Victory goes to the side with the highest amount of points after the specified time limit.  The enemy base and MHQ can also be destroyed to win.

Coop Game Parameters:

West Coop - Players work on the west side against an east controlled AI.
East Coop - Same as above except players are on the east side.
Less Units - Vehicle limit is set to 10 and AI team size is set to 6.  Use this for slower computers, single player practice, or to help lag.
Night - Mission starts at night.

Coop Difficulty:

Light Opposition - Light amounts of resistance in towns.  The opposing team is not powerful.
Average Opposition - Moderate town resistance and opposing forces.
Heavy Opposition - Lots of town resistance and a powerful opposing side.
Insane Opposition - An extreme amount of town resistance and opposing forces.  Not recommended unless you have a very powerful client system, server, & plenty of bandwidth...;)
Defend the Base - The opposing side knows your base location and will send everything they have at you.

A large amount of game parameters can be changed in-game from the Vote Menu.  To get there select 'options' on the action menu and click on Vote Menu.

MFCTI Mission Types:

PS - Public Server.  These versions require no addons to play.  Useful for serving public games but there are less units and features.

Coop - Cooperative.  These missions are meant to be run with all players on one side working against the AI.  The AI difficulty may be set.

Certain mission types may be combined.  For example PS and Coop (MFCTI 1.15 PS Coop).
