Thats not something we did, its the game.

TJ<span id='postcolor'>

Yes but the dot doesn't necessarily go back to the front of the chopper where the crosshairs are. That's the problem.<span id='postcolor'>

when you target something else it turns to that position.

its the gunner that controls the laser on top of the helo.

[theavonlady 2]

OK. A little update. After downing the Hind with a Stinger, I right clicked to issue NO TARGET. The white dot then swiveled back front and I switched to the LTD.

Still there are problems after that with targeting and blowing up the buildings but that's a slight improvement over before.

maybe a bug?:

how come you dont hear the foxy engine startup sound when you declare your mission as a MP mission?

the sound wont play as soon as you activate the "mpgame=true" command in a mission.

did i get something wrong in the readme?

Well spotted, I'm glad people are noticing the extra effects we included.  

The foxy sound is actually a real sound from a UH-60 AUX power unit.

On the local side the sounds are run by an eventhandler. I cancelled those effects for different scripts by means of the mpgame variable, to make sure all choppers could have the effects available.

I deliberately left the sound out thinking nobody would notice (well done you!, but if you are keen to get it back, you could do this;

Unpbo the PBO and goto the folder called "Engine". Once there open the script "global.sqs"

Then put the bit that says

Code Sample  

?(mpgame):exit

AFTER the bit that says

Code Sample  

? (getpos _oh58 select 2) < 5:_oh58 say "kiopowerup"

Resave and repack the PBO and all should be fine.

TJ,

i did that and it works just fine now. thanks for the tip  

one funny thing:

i rePBOed it with makePBO v1.1 by amalfi (sry for the direct filelink, fighter and gang   ) and the "new" pbo was about 1meg smaller.

i´ll try to put up a mirror with the mp- sound fixed version later on today, if its ok with BAS and somebody is interested.

well, we have quite a lot of BAS- addon maps running on our server, that we did.

unfortunately most of them use other addons like KORD, ZU23, MTLB pack and so on...

i even got about 5 BAS only missions, that i wont be able finish, due of the lack of time

To get the effects working properly in MP you have to run

"\BAS_Kiowapack\mpscripts\mprotorwash.sqs",

NOT "\bas_kiowapack\engine\rotorwash.sqs".

<span id='postcolor'>

wasnt that already fixed in the 1.1 readme?

And I've hit space pleanty of times and the smoke and illumination rockets don't seem to show up  <span id='postcolor'>

The 'TH-57' wasnt added as a realistic interpretation of the real thing, otherwise you would have seen more model changes, what it does add is a small unarmed west chopper, so at least in MP games there is no longer the need to have the BIS OH-58 clearly showing rocket pods but having it 'unarmed'.

And that must be a problem at your end, as everyone else seems to have found them, what version of ofp are you using?

And to anyone else having problems, because of the large amount of scripts added and the features of those scripts only being added in the last few patches you will probably need 1.90 or 1.91 for the Kiowa's.

[lee_h._oswald 0]

The smoking and burning effect when half damaged/downed are also extremly GREAT!!!

Those secondary explosions when the kiowa is burning on the ground!!! Nice idea!

And coming to close to the burning kiowa as Soldier!!!!    

MEDIIIIIIC!

LMAO!

how can you brake your cd? get a frisbee disk instead playing around with your ofp cd...

back on topic:

i found another "maybe bug" thingy in one of those MP scripts:

whenever the chopper crashes, the copilot gets thrown out.

actually its an pretty cool effect to have a crewmember like thrown out because of the physical forces, but he lays on the rotor...

is this intentional to have him thrown out, or is it a bug?

maybe he could lay besides the crashed chopper?

You guys make it hard for us to sift through the comments and bug reports...........

Go play with your...errrrr....CHOPPERS !!

As regards the co-pilot getting ejected, thats not deliberate, or at least I didnt script it. If it does do that take it as a bonus, you cant usually nick ammo from dead crew in choppers....

For the MH47 I was thinking of booting out all the dead AI on a crash.......if you guys dont want that just say.......and say SOON........

If you are refering to my post about the black colour choosen I just wanted to make it clear that I'm not whining! All previous pictures on Kiowas I've seen they have been painted grey/green and thats why I asked - not whined. Big difference!

This is a great addon and I've been waiting for it quite some time. Just wished I could get the Laser Designator to work in MP (with 2 players in the same Kiowa) but this is most likely an issue with the OFP game engine and nothing BAS could do anything about!

Personally I'm very greatfull since the BAS team do all their work on their free time and have decided to share it with the rest of us in the OFP communiy for the price of nothing - I mean how can anybody complain on something you gets for free?

No I´m not.

It´s just that many people talk about little things/bugs, while they didn´t saw all Features of an addon.

And colour? C´mon, Black is great. I agree that black is not = black. But it´s first(+update) release and more will come in near future.

Trust in BAS.
