Mission Editing Competition News
Christmas Eve saw the release of the 10 finalist missions in the 2004 BIS Mission Editing Competition.
The 10 missions are contained in a 19mb zip file which you may download from the following locations: BIS, OFPEC, TacticalBlunder, GotF, OpFlashpoint.org. The archive contains links to required addons, alternatively the addons can be downloaded in one pack (90mb): TacticalBlunder, OFPEC.
We would like to thank the following people for their help with the judging up to this stage:
AceCombat, AntiChrist, Dragon Knights Squad (especially BigRed & Gadger), Drazen, Ex-Ronin, Fox, Griever, Judge Rabbi, King Homer, Longjocks, Parvus, Red, Rhodite, Screamer, Shadow, Winters.
Some of those mentioned above made a huge effort to pitch in and help in the last week which otherwise would have made a Christmas Eve release impossible, thank you for the hard work and dedication.
*Important*- Please note that addons used in one mission may be incompatible with those used in another so for ultimate stability the missions should be tested individually.

Tips: Some people have trouble downloading from Ofp.info, if you do then ensure that the "Use Passive FTP" option in IE is ticked/selected, if that still doesn't help then download and install a download manager such as getright/gozilla/flashget/etc.
