Think about it. 'Cube' road.

If I remember correctly (which I might not), the manual states that 'hold fire' + 'engage target' should cause the AI to approach the target until he has a clear line of sight, and then wait for an 'open fire' order. That would be excellent for setting up a sniper to cover you, for example. But in my experience, the AI would report 'ready to fire', and then open fire. Every time.

I think it would be very helpful if the game had this functionality, with a server option to turn it off, of course. Also, the addon definition could include a (possibly clickable) URL to the addon's homepage, which would be displayed next to the addon's name, when the addon is found to be missing. That should be easy to implement and would save the user a lot of time searching the web.

Good point, about the console / character-mode version.

Ping time should not be affected by the network code. But if the game plays better than before, with the same or even higher ping, then that is an improvement.

This has been happening for a while. I remember there was a thread about this earlier, but I can't find it now. Anyway, it happens to me every now and then, apparently at random. All the text in the "laptop" menus (e.g. video options) disappear, but everything else works. I have a Geforce, too, so it might be driver related.

Okay, not really a bug perhaps, since ikonboard ignores invalid sessions, but it's redundant.

(or actually triangles) they are just aligned to the 3d viewport so that they always face the "viewer", its called billboarding.<span id='postcolor'>Of course </span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Quote </td></tr><tr><td id="QUOTE">The reason why OFP runs so well is because all the objects and trees have alot of LOD levels, and so does the terrain.<span id='postcolor'>I don't think the terrain (i.e. the ground) has any LOD at all. Try a huge viewdistance, low "visual quality" and high "framerate" setting (to remove most of the vegetation). It certainly looks like the number of polygons in the ground is the same at the horizon as close up. (Edited by judas at 12:19 pm on Dec. 19, 2001)

Â Won't the soldiers then begin to move to their proper new positions in relation to yours? Â I seem to remember doing that a couple times. <span id='postcolor'>Sorry, but you remember wrong. You really do have to move. (Edited by judas at 6:23 pm on Dec. 18, 2001)

Please, no, this isn't Counterstrike!<span id='postcolor'>The promised fix is about AI being less likely to fire when their buddies are in the line of fire, nothing else.

For the record, trees and bushes are polygon models too. The cloudlets (dust, fire and smoke) are the only regular sprites in the game.

It would be impossible to create workarounds for every hardware combination.

LOL! Yeah, someone definitely screwed up here.
