i got a suggestion for the future update on the mh47e: how about adding some ammoboxes -would be only eyecandy, i know  ofp, photoshop and beeing bored: a terrible combination...  one thing i´m wondering about: how come i cant see the cool engine fume effect in an declared mp game? this is what the choppers init looks like: </span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">mpgame = true;[this,1,2] exec "\BAS_MH47E_185\MPscripts\MProtorwash.sqs";[this] exec "\BAS_MH47E_185\MPscripts\MPPPE.sqs";[this] exec "\BAS_MH47E_185\MPscripts\MPfx.sqs"; [this] exec "\BAS_MH47E_185\MPscripts\MPfire.sqs"; bas_realism=true; clearMagazineCargo this; clearWeaponCargo this;<span id='postcolor'>

sry, its a bit blurry, but my camera got blown away by the rotorwash:

yes, make the goggles like deadmeat discribed  i wish there would be more open standards (like goggles and their use against rotorwash) for mod makers, so this great community could show those vbs1 "mod makers" (coalescent) how old their vbs1 mods look, compared your guys work  hey: and maybe you could include some script, that gives a local splash screen over the 1st person view, so it´ll look like you look through tanned glas?

wow, impressive screenshots! cant wait to kick some yank ass with them (even if it´ll take me 2 platoons of those the get a m1a1)

that was discussed when the addon first came out (v1.0). its for realism reasons. someone said you can hear such a chopper from about 15miles away in certain circumstances... i dont think its some bug or something

folks are right, what an ground breaking addon! but here´s still some "bug" report: *in declared mp game: engine startupsound again wont be played... some as on the kiowa lately; at least i now know how to fix it *in declared mp game: rotorwash script sometimes starts without helo´s engine on *fast rope: player roping down is 1m beside rope and rope wont move with the helo (maybe ask the JDSF- guy from battle over hokkaido, who made one rappeling/ roping script too... hokkaido mod besides that, its one a§%- kicking addon! hope too see an update version just take your time and beware of angry wifes

Our tests showed varying degrees of acceptability and appearance, and so this option allows the mission designer to choose. For more information contact TJ.<span id='postcolor'> *contacts TJ* uuhm, i dont really get this. could you explain it plz in other words?

so what? is it finished yet or not? or are you guys planning for a re-re-release? doesnt sound very promissing for me so far, tj....

wow this is one cool addon haven´t had the time to test in mp, so: can everyone controll the UAV or just the person who started it?

those flash vektorism effects always look cool, denoir you can still see the selection in the first screen

you mean a desktop theme? just tell me your required resolution

urg placebo, i thought you wouldn´t mention the 102kb on my last pic...  this time 94kb ranger action

peanut, it´s known for ages now, that you cant have two (the laserdesignator is viewed as a gun by the game engine) on a vehicle

Well spotted, I'm glad people are noticing the extra effects we included.  The foxy sound is actually a real sound from a UH-60 AUX power unit. On the local side the sounds are run by an eventhandler. I cancelled those effects for different scripts by means of the mpgame variable, to make sure all choppers could have the effects available. I deliberately left the sound out thinking nobody would notice (well done you!, but if you are keen to get it back, you could do this; Unpbo the PBO and goto the folder called "Engine". Once there open the script "global.sqs" Then put the bit that says Code Sample  ?(mpgame):exit AFTER the bit that says Code Sample  ? (getpos _oh58 select 2) < 5:_oh58 say "kiopowerup" Resave and repack the PBO and all should be fine. <span id='postcolor'> TJ, i did that and it works just fine now. thanks for the tip  one funny thing: i rePBOed it with makePBO v1.1 by amalfi (sry for the direct filelink, fighter and gang  ) and the "new" pbo was about 1meg smaller. i´ll try to put up a mirror with the mp- sound fixed version later on today, if its ok with BAS and somebody is interested. </span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Quote </td></tr><tr><td id="QUOTE">If anybody makes any GOOD missions for MP using the KIOWAS, please could you let me have them for my server.

Oh! I feel better already! Bug? Whose? BIS'? BAS'? A mission bug? Addon bug? LTD bug?<span id='postcolor'> hm naaah i ment the engine sound in MP maps, that doenst appear back to the mission: i had problems, when i first played it. i couldnt assign the houses as targets to my gunner when i was nearby. but actually you can assign them from some distance (i think around 500). the weird thing is that hellfires wont do the job on blowing up the houses, but ffars do. afaik the apaches attack the original OH58 laser target with ffars too. somehow they wont engange the BAS oh58d laser targets with them.... at least in the demo mission. hint: oh and if both houses are destroyed but the objective wont tick, check the mi24 to be destroyed, because it sometimes didnt explode, when i crashed -greetings

as for the mission: i simply told all AIs in my group to disembark, hopped in the apache and blew the command posts up by myself maybe a bug?: how come you dont hear the foxy engine startup sound when you declare your mission as a MP mission? the sound wont play as soon as you activate the "mpgame=true" command in a mission. did i get something wrong in the readme?

oh boy! with this set of scripts, there should be also a way of creating multiplayer campaigns!
