Well, thought about posting this in troubleshooting, but the description (Harwareproblems and SERIOUS bugs) made me change my mind. So, have anyone here had the problem that you can't minimize your game by pressing alt+tab? It has worked perfectly since I first installed the game (february 2002), but now it won't work. I have OFP:Res 1.91. I can tell you that this is just sooooo annoying, especially when you are using the missioneditor and gets some problems, and quickly want's to minimize, log in to the forum and check if somebody had the problem before, or otherwise start a new topic. Now I have to quit the game instead.. Well, I could backup my users-folder and reinstall the game, but if there is another way it would spare me a lot of time, so pleeease  Â

Hmm, when i first completed the mission (after like five tries) I crawled around half the map, south of Morton (at the shore ) and finally reached the extraction. Now i know an easier way. When you start, just run 20m forward, and you'll find a dead US soldier. Take he's LAW, and turn back at northeast until you reach the edge of the forest, and can see the town you attacked in the last mission. Eventually four soldiers will come running at the ridge in front of you. Shoot them, and then wait til an BMP comes searching for you. Finish it off with a LAW, and then move trought the villgage. Get out on the other side, and follow the road until you are north of the forest where the alternate extraction point lies. Just move sotuh and run to the extractionpoint

Hmm.. I first heard of OFP in Swedish PC Gamer (Oh, i love that magazine   ) in february 2001. I thought that the graphics looked terrible (bad screenshot at some US soldiers walking around a tent.. ), and wasn't that intrerested. One year later, in february 2002, I got a new computer. Bought OFP, and then I was stuck! Best game i played ever, easily! Beginned playing with the editor even before i started to play the campaign, and found out that it was pretty cool to let a lot of soldiers attack Houdan from the north, while i was guarding it with an M2..  I bought Resistance the day it was released in Europe, and wooooow! Stuck again..  By now I don't play OFP that often, maybe sometimes every month, but yeah, great game BiS! Waiting for OFP2...

Voted Sniper, completed the bigger parts of both 1985 and Resistance with snipers.. Â

Hmm... I think that the problem with different areas in the game is that we wont have a nice continuing story, like in 1985 or Resistance. Not very nice... Well, gotta hope that they make it up somehow...

Ehm, 29$ for a copy of Resistance only? I bought OFP:R the day it was released here in Sweden. It costed like 25$, and that was in june 2002..? Seemes kinda stupid that is should cost more now, like six moths later..?

As the topic says, is it possbile to let "the camera" follow a missile (like a Maveric)? It should look very nice if you could follow the missiles way against the target, and in slowmotion see when it hits.. Mwohaha    No, but seriously, is it possible? With some modified camscript or something? Edit: Yes, I know the topic is wrong spelled.. Â

But as we said before: There is no excuse, you just must buy Resistance! Move out and grab it, soldier!

Ehm, just a question. Why does the polish version even exist? Do they have some different kind of computers down there? (I'am from Sweden) I dont think so, but then, why? Well, they have a different language with different letters, but so have Russia, Greece and many other countries, and they have no special versions...? The big question, why aren't OFP-players all over the world using the same version? Â Peace and justice?

Hmm.. I dont really understand all talk about HALO-scripts. For an example, SAS mostly jump at some 1000 m. height, many miles from the target, and then steer in the parachutes manually. Much easier to control where you will land, and hold contact with your squad. In fact, it would be madness to just come from the sky and land in the middle of the target, with absolutely NO control of where you or your teammates are... Â

Oh, how I hated that crashing to desktop if you typed in an incorrect weaponname... Why dont you guys buy Resistance where BIS have fixed most of those crappy bugs?

You all (?) have played the first version of the demo? In the beginning of the mission, you are driving a jeep, and that one looks like an Willys Jeep, and its that one they are talking about on the official site. Then, in the full version they changed to the new jeep, or "Mutt"...

1. Ok, first, how can I get a unit to sit down on the ground, and not stand up again up until the variable alarm is true? 2. How can I create a camera whos just aiming at a specified point for like 20 seconds? (No, I haven't worked with Cam-scripting before...) Should be nice to know...

THX guys!

Ok guys, now i have problems with mission 39, "Search and Destroy". I have found the SCUD, but when i'am shooting a LAW in his ass, some russian soldiers, spetznatz, a Shilka or a tank ALLWAYS hit me with a bullet or two... Its f*cking annoying, ive tried so many times, but they allways find me after some seconds and kill me! When i bring my group, their always being killed so I'am the only one less. PLZ HELP ME!

Hi there!

Very useful sometimes. The tutorial: Check OFP editingcenter, they have a lot of good tutorials. Hope I've solved your problems. Good luck anyway! Â

Yeah, its f*cking hard... I've mannaged to get like 2 other guys to play OFP with me on LAN, but most of the dudes are just playing CS, and I'am gettin pretty tired playing that crap... Ok, it was fun the first two years, but now it sucks donkey...

OK, now it's like 2-3 weeks since the voting should have been over. #4 is the winner  so, an (un)official flag for Nogova has been chosen. Can someone now make an .PBO-file for this or whatever so we can use it in missions?

Yes, tested to unpack some missions, but most times it wont be a single thing on the map when i manage to open them. But I managed to unpack battlefields   but yeah, It's a little sick, you can just hope youre lucky when you unpack missions... Â

I guess you can add a machinegun withou any addons to the Cessna by typing this in the planes (or any other unit's) init field: </span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">this addweapon "M60 "; this addmagazine "M60" <span id='postcolor'> This will add an M60-machinegun to the cessna. You can also add those heavier weapons (like the chopper-MG's) but i dont remeber the technical names for them...

I guess youre talking about the mission when you attacks Petrovice? Iam stuck in that mission... I've found the two infantrysquads who's standing like 800 m NW of the city, and I killed them without to loose any of my soldiers, but i couldnt find those tanks. Theyre approaching the city from the north, so i guess they must be up there...somewhere... Â Hard mission, yeah...

Hmm...i really enjoyed those early missions when Fouwly and Koslowski was talkíng in the cutscenes. "No, its not gun, its jeep!" "Jeep doesnt start with 'G', meathead!" "Err...i mean...grass!"  But i really love Gastovski, he's so cool! "Good, let's toast us some russians."

Hm..i think this forum IS the only one where the polling have taken place. Someone said; "I think its a good idea to post this poll in some other forums" but i dont think someone have done that.. Â But so? This is the official forum, and if you wanna discuss OFP, then do it here.

Voted for #4...
