NKVD 0 Posted January 22, 2003 Hi, Just wanted to let you know how that "yellow target box" pisses me off....When I go for the flag, trying to be as stealthy as possible taking out several enemies, you kill a soldier then enemy commander gives target (of your position) and some damn n00bs kill you (sure they didnt know where you was before they've seen the target box)...What im saying is that with a help of target box any noob can shoot you no matter how good you try to be stealthy. This ruins the whole concept of infantry fighting....and another thing pisses me off even more, is when someone sits in tank, and scans the bush - even if he doesnt see you behind the bush, in tank it will show "red square" that there is an enemy soldier there....THIS IS BULL[beep]!! Thats not realistic stuff...and that's ruins the most fun in OFP! So, if BIS could do something about that, to remove the target box from the game...or at least add a feature to the newer version of standalone server for OFP where admin could disable "target box" for all maps being played there....and trust me, I am not the one who doesnt like that....there are many ppl out there pissed off the same way.

InqWiper 0 Posted January 22, 2003 There was a thread like this one a while ago. I think someone made a script that would disable the use of the targetbox by making it tarket something else all the time. The problem with this is that you have to add it to every mission and I think most servers wount. I agree that there should be an option to completely disable the targetbox and such in MP.

Balschoiw 0 Posted January 22, 2003 there is an option for infantry leaders to assign targets via radio menu. RED found a solution once but there seem to be problems with 1.91 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hugo2020 0 Posted January 23, 2003 The lock target function of tanks/helo´s is also very annoying. It is possible to lock/find a target in fog over 1500m. An Server cfg option for that would be nice, look at Battlefield 1942 there are no problems with that. Mapmakers can avoid the yellow box cheat using no unit groups (no lines between units) or only officers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RN Malboeuf 12 Posted January 25, 2003 ? we have been playing like this for months no commanders, its all in the map, if you break the unit apart then no one can give commands there is a script that allows an admin to turn this off or on in setup as well, works nice, but it has to be added to the map Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
