needs fixing

Recommended Posts

In mission editing I used a waypoint to have some of my guys attack me and it kept saying over and over again:

#engaing

#engaing

#engaing

#engaing

#engaing

#engaing

...I was not the leader though.....I think this started after I installed...1.4 or 1.42.......

And why is so much missing from mission editing?....when you are the leader and you highlight your guys the green circle does not show over the troop....well at least 80% of the time it doesn't.....allot of other stuff is like that to....just doesn't appear....

That's because OFP starts in Veteran mode, where the enhanced HUD info isn't available. To get yourself into Cadet mode, just start a single or campaign mission, leave, and enter the mission editor again.

Yep, I get that sometimes too, especially when commanding from a vehicle, but it usually stops after a while.

The repeating radio doesn't actually bother me as much as having certain radio sounds just disappear; for example, the radio text could be "2, 4 GO TO 11 05", but the radio voice could be nothing, or "2,4... 11 05", or "2 ... GO TO 11 05", or "2, 4, 4 GO TO...", or any weird combination. That means I have to keep looking at the radio text to know what's going on, and that ain't right.

I had this problem myself, I was in driver's seat in T-80, and have given order to engage at will. Commander started to give out firing order to gunner

"Engage T-72 22"

"Engage T-72 22"

"Engage T-72 23"

"Engage T-72 23"

and so on...

Very annoying...

(BTW gunner never had a single shot)

"engage plane, 500"

"engage plane, 400"

"engage plane, 200"

"engage plane, 1... "

The real problem with repeating messages is not that they are annoying, but that other, more useful stuff gets queued behind them.

If you give orders to a unit to attack a specific enemy, the order probably won't be acknowledged until it is too late...
