ArMoGaDoN 0 Posted October 29, 2007 Is it known why XAM running on an MP client machine can cause multiple other clients not running XAM to CTD, and sometimes the server itself to crash when not running XAM? Looking at the video it is a crying shame that those problems have existed. I would like to run XAM also, but.. So hence the question: why does this happen, and how / when will this be corrected? It would be good to see the "NO XAM" banners removed soon, if possible? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It could be corrected by adding a feature where XAM would check if the server is a XAM servers, and if it isn't then it can force the game to shutdown. Sure it's crashing the game, but in this case I think it should be done. Better than crashing a server and other players. It's a pretty major issue, not something the XAM guys should ignore.

darkNight 0 Posted October 29, 2007 Why not releasing just a patch for XAM v1.3? Instead of downloading 1.23 GB and wasting time? But well done! Nice mod! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrcash2009 0 Posted October 29, 2007 Ok ... im confused and frustrated on calling artillery / air stike even after reading and following the English guide. 1. I have a spotter and have required my coordinates 2. (quote from the guide) : Quote[/b] ]Transmit the target position using hummer or BRDM radio Once you know the target coordinates, you need to send them to the fire base. - Climb in a vehicle (hummer or BRDM) - Select “radio†- Choose “field artillery†- Enter the coordinates (X first then Y) **where???** - Radius - Type of shell I get into the hummer and open radio, request field artillery, I get a go ahead and then the other two option show up for coords / radius etc ... but ... theres no boxes to type anything in!?? This was the same with Xam 1.3 and I didn't have the hummer, thought that was my big mistake, so now I do have the hummer and command and control stryker I still cant enter coords ... ive never got any further than this point ... please help anyone, what the hell am I missing / where EXACTLY do I enter the coords on the radio??? Do I need another unit as "fire base" or something, or is this automated script and you ONLY need a spotter, hummer & C&C Srtyker (of which I have all but still cant enter coords anywhere).

Focha 0 Posted October 29, 2007 Well I put a feedback here but no one helped me so far. I have download first the french version. Install it... Run it and I lost all the weapons on the soldiers, I don´t view the model, I just have the sounds and still I can fire the weapon. Then I totaly uninstalled the french version and download english one, install it, run it and I get the same error. For example; I open mission editor, put there a soldier and I don´t see any weapon but I can still shot the weapon... And I don´t see all the others things that was supposed to see... lol Please help me if you can on this one... It is something I am doing wrong?

PTV-Jobo 820 Posted October 29, 2007 I'm having this weird issue lately. When I am on a map with AI units I can hear them saying things--both enemy and friendly units. However, when it is just myself and a human player on the same team, I don't hear those sayings like "cover me!" "follow me!", etc. But my buddy can. We're both using the same mods together with XAM as noted below: ------------------------- DM Smoke Effects NWD Ballistics NWD Scope Fix OFP Voices Real M136 Mod 6thSense Pack 1 TrueMods (version 2 I believe it is?) and recently BPA Real Sound Mod --------------------------- Is anyone else having this issue or know what is wrong? I'm using goArma launcher and tried switching the positions of all the mods and nothing has worked. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
