Hit_Sqd_Maximus 0 Posted January 16, 2004 I wonder if someone could write a script when the vehicle gets to its full capacity then it wont let you load ammo into it anymore. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

toadlife 3 Posted January 16, 2004 There is a bug that exibits itself with ECP mod loaded + very large complicated (scripting wise) missions. When you click on retry to load an autosave this error will almost always happen. Both screen shots are the errors trying to load the same savegame file. The item## varies everytime. This happens with my Mission Operation LoJack 2 and Sui's mission Facile Ground, which both contain lots of scripting. ECP creates tons of variables, so it seems like the game has trouble saving (or loading?) a massive amount of variables. This bug is not new to v. 1.95. It happens just the same with 1.91, and assume it's been around for awhile. If you guys want my crashdump files let me know and I'll send them in. Hopefully this is a bug worth fixing.

Asmodeus 0 Posted January 16, 2004 Greetings! I d-loaded 1.95, installed no problem. Started up OFP without a problem as well and tried the "Camel Attack" mission. The plane handled much better, but for some reason it started without MG ammo! I tried rearming at the airport too and still no MG ammo. (I still beat the mission though) Other than that, it's great! I noticed a huge difference with Tonal and AEC and FDF! Thanks and cheers to BIS for continuing to support this legend of a battlefield simulator.

Or he wants to accuse someone of cheating in a certain way, but this cheat is now automatically detected and the cheater auto-kicked... Exactly something like this I wanted to know. E.g. do we have to check maps anymore or is it not possible to hack a map with 1.95? Such things are really important cause it takes time and knowledge to do these checks and to implement and spread them around there.... I dont wanna know how it works exactly, but what it effects as Dax said before! Placebo so do you understand now? If not please let your comments at home...

benu 1 Posted January 16, 2004 )a)( @ Jan. 15 2004,22:53)]If you're not planning to cheat I don't think you need to know Dumb answer... Excuse me? As a server admin it would be nice to know what is going on on your server. When a regular (or youself) gets kicked/banned from your server it's nicer when you know what triggers it to work around it (by making ofp "clean" or something) than just do the old "reinstall ofp" trick... Also, if the anticheat only kicks people, i as an admin would rather ban them. At least if i knew the detected cheat was serious enough. So if someone is positively identified i would want to know what exactly was detected so i can react apropriately. I don't mind custom faces, new island or sky textures or different sounds at all. I would not like people getting kicked or even banned from my server because of something like this without an option to disable this feature and without even knowing about this. And i guess league admins/squads too would like a more open information policy regarding the anticheat improvements. Sicilian is working on anticheat measures for leagues himself, so it would be nice to know which topics are now already dealt with and what is detected and how the game reacts to it. A simple "yeah, some cheats will be detected (we won't tell you what) and something will happen (we won't tell you what)" actually helps no one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest jacobaby Posted January 16, 2004 Too bad so many of you hijacked the bugs thread with so much spammy nonsense. Anyway, here's another Bug, its a good one, and Im not certain its been seen before, but I cannot directly associate it with 1.95 at this time. Here's the deal. Place an empty SCUD unit on a map. Then get in, and use action "Launch Scud". After playing the animation, the scud vehicle itself goes into a crazy mode, all distorted and moving around. Also, ther are some rather funky effects when you get out, including a visit to the ocean! Others have seen this too, but have any of you? TJ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lee_h._oswald 0 Posted January 16, 2004 Others have seen this too, but have any of you?TJ Yes! After you fired the scud, all is getting normal. MfG Lee Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shadow 6 Posted January 16, 2004 Anyway, here's another Bug, its a good one, and Im not certain its been seen before, but I cannot directly associate it with 1.95 at this time. I've never experienced this before but now I have. I think we can say for sure that this is new in 1.95b EDIT: Just tested. This does not happen with 1.92 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
