hi ho.....

cause im old n a bit dippy........

can sombody refresh me memory of how to convert vanilla single player missions over to WGL compatible ones....

i seem to remeber sumat about using notepad and doing "search/replace" on units like "man" and replacing with "wgl_man".....or is/was that for converting older WGL missions...

anyway in the mean time ive bin manualy converting vanilla flashpoint missions in the editor after "de pbo-ing"....which is ok but a bit teadious.....

however ive just bin trying to convert a mission that uses default "black op" units with silenced weapons......but i got stuck because in the "WGL men or WGL special forces" there doesnt appear to be any "silenced" weapons units...

bummer....  so perhaps sumat to look at there for v.5

a small niggle/observation

i know you lurvly fluffy chaps spent much time on ballistics data/research and weapon effects.....and i also know theres been comments reguarding certain riffle ammo types being somewhat weak as......begins with P ends in ISS......   ......but as humble civvy that knows nowt but the bloody obvious....... and then only "sometimes"

as a wgl inf unit if i stand 5 to 10 feet away from another wgl unit and shoot it.......ie point blank with 1 round to the torsso......i expect that unit to fall to the ground dead or fataly wounded......but that dont happen

whilst looking for the silenced weapons i placed 10+ units of various types on a map just so i could look at the weapons......of course me being me and youre weapons n mod being so smart i couldnt help meself and shot a few units..........but to my amazement i found i was taking 10 shots to kill a unit.....from 8 feet away......

now call me "monkeys marginalized uncle" but that cant be right.....

is it done that way to hobble the some what accurate ai

or as a "gameplay" feature?

btw.......hows the "island" coming along?.......ive forgoton the name (see "old n dippy") but its been a while since we seen any screenies....hint

oh yea..... will v.5 have improved flight modling for aircraft of any sort?.............its one area IMHO that i dont see many modders tackle in depth for some reason.......will there be any improvements with momentum and gravity effects on aircraft and this is prolly a bit much but gyroscopic effects for choppers....?

and one thing i thought was bit odd in tanks can turret speed be limited to realistic values..........seems a bit off haveing turrets that can track as fast as the mouse inputs.....ive always found tanks in flashpoint dont impart the feeling of 90 tons of "brick out house"    when moving or operating...

thanks in advance....oh btw still got me video of setting up mortars and desktop icons for anybody wonder why you got blank desktop icons and why that pesky mortar dont work in your missions hehe  My Webpage

Hi,

i installed the Wargames Pack. At first 4.10, than the Isle Gaia, than 4.11, and the Editor Patch.

If I used so the Editor in Opf to test the new Units, i get this this (bad) messagen: \WGL_Veh_config\fx\destroyedDetects.sqs not found.

Where ist my Problem?

Is anybody able to send mir this File? (matt-Reichel@web.de)

try patching again with this automated patcher. i dont know if it helps, but its worth a try

wg_addpak_4.11_patcher_enhanced.exe

well i am not really certain on this, but i think the script is absolete with the actual version, so u didnt use any mission just plain the editor?

I used the Patch, but it still doesn`t work.

I played some Singleplayer Missions (not the Campaign), but there wasnt this mistake! Only if i work with the Editor.

Is there a manual for this mod ?

I mean a manual where i can learn how to use the rucksack or where i can learn all the functions of the reticles/scopes of the weapons/armor.

And it seems that the bullets of the new SVD (for russian sniper) are not realistic.

They fly too "straight" and i have to use the 500m mark (2nd triangle) to hit targets at 1km...

Hi, I'm using this 4.12 Alpha patch, and I'm wondering if anyone has gotten the Mortars to work with it? I keep getting this WGLMOrtMils error and other things like "Target" don't appear to function.

Good he learns from his mistakes!

Good news then.

Err, so where is RC3 then?

[russin 0]

@bn880

Note: it does say rc2 still but that link is rc3 im gonna get tact to make sure right patch is there...

also i would make a copy of yer 4.11 before ya patch it this is a beta...or for adnvanced users could back up the patched files to play 4.11 if they wish as not much as far as 4.12 missions are out yet im testing a lota AI stuff so 4.12 will be better for single player Coops and most of all CTI weeeeeeee

Wargames 4.12 Development Area

[bn880 5]

I checked the files inside, they had old dates... so it seems to be RC2

[russin 0]

ya but i think there was only small fix to it and he never named readme too rc3 im thinking im sure of it as a matter of fact

[bn880 5]

Okay, I will try it now if you're wrong, we're going to court for the 20 minutes this wil waste.

edit: no go, same wglmortmils error and the thing won't adjust aim. That was the version I've had all along 5th of August.

[russin 0]

leemme track down the proper 4.12rc3 i will PM ya as soon as i get it sorted out..

[bn880 5]

Good luck mate. And thanks for your info. I'm trying to upgrade a mission here to incude mortars, and I'd rather do it under 4.12Beta, it's usually played on the same server as 4.12 is on anyway.

[russin 0]

ill find out tommorrow if that is the rc3 one ill test motars out in the CTI mission where is know they where working properlly... with no lag i might add with like 5 too 6 WP all around me

[Universel 0]

I m looking for servers where I can play WGL 4.12 RC2.

And, in mortar Fire Control, what for is the buton "MILS-W", i guess it s for the different East/West mortars, but how do I use it precisely.

I think i read somewhere it was supposed to switch between MILS-W and MILS-E, but i didint notice that in WGL4.11. Is it corrected in 4.12 RC2 ?

And russin, i ll be happy to beta test your CTI map

[russin 0]

Tact is out till the 21st or 22nd rc2 motars work but no Damage with WP

witch make me think the DL is correct but readme not updated to rc3 (notsure now i lost track)... i will conferm as soon as i get some time too ill have go in WGLCTI map on server and blast some motars off and se if they destroy shit.. haha sorry for the confusion...

if it is the Rc3 patch then i know the description needs to have 4.12 dialog or somthing im no mapper at the least

STAY turned bn880

@Universel

the mils is for east and west motars depending on witch ya are firing there is a detailed readme file on this in yer WGL/docs.... folder

and for testing NP as soon as 4.12 is sorted out ill be makin it ready for public play testin... also there will be a 2 new addons Req for WGLCTI we have made a Wall addon as well as a Hanger to match the WG buildings....

or add me too MSN and when im gonna goin and test shit ill page ya and send Req files....

[bn880 5]

OKay I basically fixed one line in a script to get rid of the error and that RC2 (or RC3) is working fine. It is nothing major, thanks for the info on WP, I'll cut it out of the mission I'm editing.

I think I had the complication occur because I use the NSV and DSKH in the same mission.

Edit: again thanks for your support Russin

[russin 0]

WP might work as that could be rc3 if ya DL from Squad engine im allmost certain it is rc3 if the WP works then it is Rc3
