I'd just like to say that i've been able to mess around on the island and seen the progress Powerslide has made. This Island is great, it really does give the feel that your in Canada. The section that resembles the canadian north is beautiful and having been in the north numerous times i can say it's a spiting image. The town is coming along very quickly and has the feel of um... Airdrie! That small town north of Calgary, it's kind of a suburban city off on it's own. The farms look good so far, being a farmer i had to give Power some critism on it but it's looking very nice. Overall it's one great island and I can't wait to make some fun missions on it. In fact i've allready made one

Hello everyone, I'm making a new Canadian units mission and need someone to do the Voice for the HQ... Don't worry about Mic quality (as long as it's not reeeeeealy bad) because it'll be all over the radio. If your interested please contact me, Thanks Doc1011 aka Doolie

Alright! Thanks man...I found someone to do the HQ for me, but i still need someone to do two lines...I'll PM you

Comon guys there has to be someone!

I'm writing a Camera Script and was wondering how can I make direct references from the script to my lines in .CSV? I understand the unitname say "voice1" but i'm looking for no sound just text? I start off the sequence with a long speech from the main chatacter...but the sub title is too long to fit into one frame...I need three different text sequences to go along with one sound file.. Anyone?

Ok I solved it, well dismas solved it and told me what I should do. Instead of trying to put the texts into the camerea script i just put the cutText["whatever"."PLAIN DOWN"] ~7 cutText["whatever"."PLAIN DOWN"] ~5 cutText["whatever"."PLAIN DOWN"] ~7 into a different .sqs and controled the speed that way. This way it dosn't pause the camera Thanks Dismas! And thanks for your Help Bn880.

Oh I do have it as Cfgsound...I just ment it's a narative part so I had to change it to Cfgsound. The Timing issue is... The narative .ogg file is about 22 seconds long....so i can't have all the text shown at once. When I use your Cfgsounds solution it brings up text without changing the sound, which is perfect...the only this is I can't control when they come up aside from camera changes... There is one pan which is 15 seconds long on the same camera...in that period i need two screens of text to come across...The camera cannot stop panning so i can't pause the whole script with ~1 otherwise that'd be perfect.

I don't want it in radio....It's a narative part.... The Phantom .ogg file worked...just created a blank .txt file and changed it to .ogg The only problem i'm having now is timing it right.... I'm using <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">playsound "voice3" Is there anyway to control that in seconds? Because between the camera changes there is a 15 second gap...I need it right inbetween them.

Sorry Bn880, I should have checked my PM Again.... I tried it and it brings up a message saying... <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">sound voice3 not found Voice3 being what I called it in the .ext. I guess I could make a phantom sound file with nothing on it....but there has to be an easier way.

Hey, When i was cleanin off my computer this afternoon i found two old ones that i had forgot about. Donovan - Hurdy Gurdy Man Donovan - Season of the Witch Both are good for patroling cutsceens...

Don't worry guys, I figured it out after a while...I re-installed DX 8.1 and it works now...I don't know why i had to do that. But whatever it works now and i'm happy.

Hey, yesterday i could join games on gamespy and connect to games through IP and not host, but then i downloaded Port Magic from Gamespy and everything went haywire...Now everytime I try to join a game on gamespy it kicks me out to my desktop right as is it's joining. Then when i try to create a server in OFP it kicks me out to the desktop also! I don't know what's wrong! Can someone help me out? I have Zonealarm and am behind a router but i had those on before and they never seemed to cause any interference. Lil Help anyone, I've looked all over the place and gone to Avon's FAQ and the solutions she gave didn't work and the same with the other topics about this on here.

Although i do enjoy the vietnam mission users have made...and I'm sure i'll enjoy anything OFP2 has to offer...I'm just worried that having it set in vietnam really limits BIS's abbility to make "heli" missions, "tank" missions, "heli" missions etc... With a fictional setting they would have many more options on what type of missions they wanted to make. I just have the feeling it could be a lot of LZ securing, Long patrols and maybe a couple of prisonner missions. But, I trust BIS and am sure it'll be another great game.

Hey guys, I just finished making a King of the Hill style mission which uses Canadian troops from operation northstar. Â It's loads of fun, and even though i've sent it in to Northstar to put on thier page i'm also going to post it on mine. It's for v1.46 only and basically the two teams fight for control of the top of a hill...If one team is in control for 30 seconds they score a point. Â The game ends when one team reaches the pre-set point limit. If you want to check it out, please go to my site Doolie's OFP Page It's called...Battle for the Hill (Real original eh? Â ) and it's for 1-10 players Hope you enjoy it, and if you need someone to play with, don't hesitate to give me a holler, i'll be the first one to join!

Does anyone have a scoring script for a zone control mission?...Where one team would get 1 point for every 30 seconds they hold the area?

Never mind guys, i found a tutorial with a great script. Here's the link for anyone else who needs it. OFP Arena Just look into the tutorials

I've allready got the Gold edition, But thanks for the heads up anyway

ah....Hollywood...When will they learn If you wanna see a good war movie that's not hollywoodish see Das Boot although i'm sure you allready have. And Placebo, it's funny how hollywood uses any different type of accent to be the bad guy. British accents are always a target.

Â Â <span id='postcolor'> Wouldn't worry about the beer up here, In canada the beer flows like water running out of the Rocky mountains And Avon, i think i'm going to have to buy Res. I'm giving in...I just hope it'll work on my computer. I doubt it tho, but whatever...I'll give it a shot. It has the all the same requirements right?...I'll just have to delete everything else on my computer. HEY! and that way i can give OPF Cold War to my friends to try out! BONUS!

Although i did get one person hooked on Ghost Recon...He's not so excited to try OFP but i will get him to like it soon enough!

Looks like you forgot some of the classics in that list Blackdog. Smoke on the Water - Deep Purple Fire - Jimi Hendrix (although you have a lot od him) CCR - Run through the Jungle

I think missions should list the add-ons needed before you even download the mission. It's not a huge problem for me but for people that hate downloading add-ons there should be a list of direct links to the add-ons on the mission download page. I did this on my site, even though it's in it's reeeeal humble beginnings i like my format. I mean if the add-on creators don't want you to zip-them and send them together then just provide all the links to download them. It save the person tons of time looking all over for them.

I can do most any accent cept for Eastern European...sorry Winters...

Likewise!
