    Romance of 3 kingdoms

    This thing about stealing technology, I thought a lot of it was licensed. Also, what exactly does the E.U arms ban against China consist of. Is it absolute or do we sell them parts, or is it like British exports to Indonesia, where the government there promises not to use them in internal repression, then nothing happens when they do? Dosent China have next to no natural oil reserves of its own? That constrains their actions to a certain degree.
  2. I just tried to the same thing playing around on desert island with a jeep and 2 west soldiers. Same triggers as above and the jeep has "t1 OR t2" in its condition line on the first waypoint. The jeep only moves when both triggers are activated. I thought there was an AND command that did that and OR meant one or the other. The triggers definatley work, did i just misunderstand what OR does in the editor? If so what should I be doing instead.
  3. I realised the error message was my fault cause I accidentally put T2 in the trigger name as well as making it a variable, but i still have the same problem! If i put t1 in the condition field(or t2) it works the tank moves out, with "t1 or t2" the crew gets out a stands there. Im sure i've done this before, i'll check an old misson....

    Romance of 3 kingdoms

    I thought France already exports military equipment to China "China and France signed the agreement of assembling 50 Eurocopter AS 365N 'Dauphin II' multi-purposes helicopters at Harbin Aircraft Manufacturing Corporation (HAMC) in 1980, with the first helicopter rolled out in the following year." Further orders in 97/98 http://www.sinodefence.com/airforce/aircraft/helicopter/z9.asp Does it not count if the french sell them unarmed or something? Chinese Blackhawk! http://www.sinodefence.com/airforce/aircraft/helicopter/s70.asp I think chinas emerging middle class will, in the future contribute to its becoming a more democratic state, a more educated, informed population is good, theres also (slighty)more tolerence of people not confirming in dress and tastes than there used to be.

    Guide to on-line play for noobs

    I dont use the Eye, I can never find any games, as far as I can tell the multiplayer lobby thars inside the game is the best way to go. Have you got a lot of addons already installed? Most of the servers on ofp watch use a ton. YTou can use the D/L manager on their, but its a pain, if you've got most of the addons already. With ofp watch, assuming its already installed, open it up and look on the top left quarter of the menu for the "@@ browser" button, click it once and it will open up a server list, add the servers you want, and they'll be added to a list in the "server selection" bar, you can trhen choose from any of the sservers you selected and ofp watch gives you the status of the server.

    Mini-Earth Map

    Terragen is easy to use to make a base for a map, I couldnt find real satellite data to put into it though. I made about 1 1/2 maps with WrpTool, its easy to learn, but it can be a long, sometimes tedious process, I found trying to work out the best places to blend textures so the map looked nice and stuff was hard, also I realised after my first try that the map I made was far too flat. But it is easy to learn, and there are lots of cool buildings to use now, so if you think you'd like to try you definatley should, its about a millon times easier than trying to learn to make an addon.

    Generic OPFOR BETA 1

    I've been using this pack since the day it was released and about 2 days ago, it just stopped working, not only that, if I selected ANY non-official addon it locked up the computer in the misson editors Get Ready screen. I thought it was ofp at first so I reinstalled it and still had the same problem, I thought it was my addon launcher and went into the game the normal way, problem still there. Then I thought about what addons I had added recently and removed the Opfor along with the eighteen-wheeler and the new mi-24 pack.  I only had the problem when I re-added the opfor pack, so its definatley that.  Hope whatever the problem is it gets sorted  out, I wanted to use these. My graphics cards an ATi 9800, comps a p3.2 with 1gig of memory and a cheapo soundcard.

    IM:UC Mod Thread

    Damn, the Iraqis are gonna look better than the coalition. Is that a modified version of the standard model or new altogether? It looks really nice either way.

    The Iraq thread 4

    Well definatley, by the time of the Iraq invasion they were useless, they'd had a decade of embargo's, the airforce was out of commison, except for the planes Iran refused to give back after GW1. No supplies or parts, and there were tons of airstrikes and small operations between the first gulf war and the invasion, every so often they'd lock onto a U.S or British jet and get a SAM site blown up in response. If I was an Iraqi manning an AA post I would have legged it at the first oppurtunity.

    European Politics Thread.

    Yes, id have to say its pretty strange that they NEEDED a "british" D.J, although not once you factor in them being white supremicists. Â - you cant be ethnically british by the way, britain is England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Â I'd love to know what kind of music these pricks listen to, cause you know its techno crap and garage music, they probably listen to music made by black people, so consequently a black d.j was booked. Â If they wanted thrash metal all night long they would have got a white d.j, I imagine they make bookings under fake names to stop dates getting leaked to the press or anti-fascist organisations so thats probably one of the reasons they wound up with a black d.j. Â They'd probably be happy to let in an australian or someone similiar into their little group, thats not the kind of "foreigness" they dislike.

    STH like Age of Empires?

    Theres a game called Supreme Ruler 2010 coming out that looks great, but it may be more of a Civ style game, (my second favorite game after ofp.) It has something like 1500 units and most of them are real 20th century weapons, I saw a Merkava tank and lots of f-15 variants in the screenshots.

    I think its because they dont offically support violence or criminal behaviour, the NF and combat18 are illegal because their criminal organisations. If the BNP were banned, it would set a bad precedent, potentially, for other organisations that the public or the governemnt didnt agree with - although not necessarily fascists and racists.

    FWW2 - Finland at war

    They didnt have much choice, Stalin kept attacking them, I think the allies might have made some verbal protest during the war but thats all. The finns fought well, there ski troops were very good. The reason theres russian equipment in the modern finnish army and the reason its a Defense Force, not an army is because of ww2. (I think) The finns used stukas in this war right?

    18-wheeler

    This is cool, i drove around Nogova for a while lisening to skynyrd. I noticed it duplicates the window wiper option in the action menu everytime you get in and out. I was thinking a little dashboard compass would be nice, something like the one used in the that ww2 dc-3 that came out a while ago.

    European Politics Thread.

    Yeah, that article started the conversation preety much, look at the tone of it, theres lots of implications in, the way the unemployment level of 90% is described and not put into any kind of context for example. They describe it as :four-part series about the Muslim population in Europe 2 articles about of sweden, one on spain, and one on gential mutilation. Gasp, people in emergency rooms shout at medical staff, only an evil muslim would do that, this is what happens to liberal societies, they get taken over by the muslims. No attempt is made to put these incidences into any kind of broader picture, or balance it by showing places where a muslim community dosent have any major problems. Just four scare stories that say muslims are evil and liberal europeans are stupid.

    New US Army Heat-Ray in Iraq

    a mild burn or very hot sensation on the skin dosent though, It wouldnt really a substitute for a gun or artillery shell, why would you encircle a city and point these things at it? What the americans do now at Falluja seems to be fairly good at keeping people in or out.

    European Politics Thread.

    I dont see that the argument that pointing out ethnicity might decrase predjudce really works.  The kind of people  inclined to see race as a factor in crime, in fact people in general dont really see race as factor in crime when its their own a member of their own race or nationality that did it. Newspapers dont print the criminals nationality or make it part of the headline when the person is from that country. i.e gang of immigrants would just be gang of men or youths.

    New US Army Heat-Ray in Iraq

    It has to be mounted on a humvee just to be used on one person at a time, how big do you think its going to have to be to be a doomsday weapon?. Aside from that, other technology wont remain static, nukes, lasers, who knows what else. Â This one'll be pretty low on the list of stuff to worry about. Â The missile shield and Bushs mini-nukes and Putins alleged super nukes are all in the works and all more of a cause for concern
  21. Mabye, my main problem with Res camopaign was the later missons, they were tough anyway, and the friendly AI just isnt up to it, every so often one of them just leaps up and runs towards the enemy, or just deiceides to stand up despite the hail of russian machine gun fire.

    The Iraq thread 4

    I like the fact being skeptical towards press statements issued by the U.S military is defined as:
  23. I've made a few small missons for myslef and im working on a few things that are a little more ambitious. I usually base my whole my misson around the enemy, deicede what I want to fightand where. I look around the map and try and find places I would want to put a drug factory or whatever and then I do patrols and stuff and work in and do the base defenders last. I learnt its best to test stuff out in isolation by merging it to an empty map, I got sick of a bunch of missons I started, but i've just started to learn about scripting so its getting a little better. P.S, does anyone know any good military-type websites for inspiration on missons? Espically on WW2, i'd like to try some, but I'm not really sure about missons for small groups, like, say 3 squads.
