Hello Kegetys First I just want to say, I encourage all your work with these winter versions, please and I repeat please keep up the great work! Them shots you posted look beautiful btw. The only problem I noted in Winter Kolgujev in OFP version 1.46 and RedHammer is that a lot of the trees don’t make sound when you run them over with tanks, sometimes they don’t even drop. Anyway, if I were to use Winter Kolgujev in a multiplayer map, how would that work? I guess what I don’t really understand right now is, I always thought a map was just a blank textured model to put stuff on,  I mean what would cause an empty map with out a mission added yet to not work in Resistance?

Ok, think back for a second now: When you guys installed OPF, there is a button called Audo-Detect. What I want to know is when I hit the button it detects my Ti4400 just fine but it defaults to D3D as opposed to the better option which is D3D T&L. I guess what I’m asking is why dosen't OFP go for the T&L right option right from the start? I always have to manually set it to D3D T&L when ever I reinstall OFP? Could this mean that OFP dosen't want to use the transform and lighting engine in my card? Gainward Gforce4 Ti4400 Gold Sample/700 XP

Ok, no prob I just wasn’t sure. I keep it on T&L anyway. You guys are lucky, I’ve been tring to get resistance for 2 weeks and it’s been delayed till the 10th in stores by me. (Chicago IL) I call the stores every day and now they just hang up on me becouse they are sick of me calling Â

I’m not sure why this got moved, This is not an mission editing question, It is a Game-Play question When something gets damaged such as the 50 cal gun or a tank, how do you go about fixing it? I tried driving the repair truck over to the damaged gun, ....but then what? The gun was working but the command bar showed it in red as being damaged after it took a few hits. Are the repair and ammo trucks only for the infantry? What I mean is how do you fix armor tanks and guns on stands? Thanks

Thanks Chronicles, actually I just found it in a thread but I appreciate you taking the time to type that out! http://www.flashpoint1985.com/cgi-bin....l=cycle One thing though, will the tanks run out of gas? Should I add a fuel truck to the group? It I were to keep a fuel truck near the first way point, would the tanks stop to refuel themself’s and then continue again the cycle again? Thanks for replying!

I’m trying to make a group of enemy tanks patrol certain parts of the landscape? Another words go back and forth from one way point to the next repeatedly, so for example I can have 4 tanks moving from way-point #1  #2  #3… and then back to #1 starting over again? all these tutorials I’ve found so far don’t help. I need some “detailed†step by step instructions. There are lot of option fields in the triggers along not to mention the way points.  Would someone be kind enough to direct me in the right direction or explain how to do that? I don’t know anything about scripting so even the menus can get a little frustrating for the new guy.

Sorry about the double post, the forum is moving so slow that I thought it wasn’t working.

Thanks residuum, Residuum is correct, as I said the guns "still do work". I understand that you can not fix a black char broiled tank.

I don't know what I did but I added something and now when I try to preview the map I get an error saying "Bad Vehicl Type KeGSSOLDER EB"

Hay no problem Ex-RoNiN, I’m sure it gets confusing sometimes sorting through hundreds of post, don’t know how you guys do it, I know I couldn’t. Anyway, thanks for moving it back! And thanks placebo, I’ll give that a try. I thought maybe I could order one of the guys to repair it them selfs as long as there was a repair truck near giving that the gun or tank was not damaged too bad? I try jumping on the gun myself and see what happens. Thanks

How to repair a 50can. For example I had a man on a 50cal gun and it was damaged, I have no prblem taking the guy off the gun and telling him to re_arm at a supply truck but how do you go about fixing the damaged 50cal gun which is on a stand?

Ex-RoNiN, I’m not exactly sure how you justify this as being an enditing question: Please read it again, I am asking how to repair a gun in game play, Not a mission. When you are playing and something like a tank gets damaged you need to repair it in the game, I’m not sure how to do that is what I was asking? == Ex-RoNiN, I’m not exactly sure how you justify this as being an editing question: Please read it again, I am asking how to repair a gun in game play, Not a mission.

Advanced Thanks By the way: why am I not receiving emails when I get a reply from the messenger server, it has been set up and the email address I typed in when I registered was typed correct. I sent an email to the forum admen’s and got no reply Advanced Thanks

Edit- had to kill the link, the free server exceeded it’s limit

Nothing special, I just think it cool to look and different shots people take. I'm a screen shot freak It’s just something I get into I guess. Anyway the link is not working now, it exceeded its hourly bandwidth. how typicl, I knew that would happen.

I'm alittle new to this but I'm trying to make a group of plains attack a location? I'm doing a tutorial and it's not working out. The way I did it was I clicked on the leader of the enemy (east) group first and then added a move way point to the location I wanted them to move to. I tried setting the way point to Cycle so that plains would circle that location and attack any west units in that location. But the enemy never shows up? I even tried using a trigger In the first waypoint I set the condition field from "true" to wp1==1, then I made a trigger and set its activation field to wp1=1, what could be wrong? what would be the correct way to set up a timer so I can have 1 or more groups of plains attack a location?

I just put a G4 Ti4400 Gold sample/128DDR in my system, when I hit the Auto detect button in the OFP set up menu, it defaults to the D3D driver, but there is also another D3D with Transform lighting hardware support, why doses the game not choose that option by default? Should I be using this? I can not understand why this game doses not play like glass on my system considering I’m running one of the fastest consumer video cards available. I’m also running the game at 32 bit color, but my system is tweaked well, no unnecessary back ground services running. This game should play like glass, but I get lag in the mouse. I have all the MS updates and drivers are all updated on my system. ===== I’m running OFP 1.46 and Red Hammer -WinXP pro -Ausu cusl2_c 815-chipset Gforce 4 Ti4400 750XP G Sample -PIII 800EB cpu -DirectX8.1 -512 mb’s PC 133 cas2 10K/rpm scsi hard drive

Its fine now and I reinstalled my entire OS so it was not the voodoo drivers. the system is a bottle neck to the card. anyway I’m running the latest Detonators. So far I am very happy with this card. Here are some beautiful shots I took on my Gforce4, a few of the shots were not taken by me must most of them were. Hope you’re on a cable modem http://starstreams3.tripod.com/ofp.htm

The helicopter was empty

I’ve searched the book for this one, but no luck When you give a a solder an order, for example Combat/ Aware order "to be alert" If your next command is to tell your man to move to a different location, Will your last Aware command still be active, meaning will that solder still be aware as he advances? There must be something that cancels out a command? For example if you tell a pilot to engage at will and he lets loose on a BMP, will he still be in Engaged mode after the BMP is dead or will he disengage and  wait  for your next command? I guess what I’m asking is what cancels out your last commands and is there a certain order that commands must be giving?

Very good, thanks LBGS_Stewart and thanks Avon, you know I love that web site. Anyway, I’m going to read that FaQ section tonight, I was kind of tired last night so I thought I would take the easy way out and put up a post. man, I really need to get away from this game, I just can't stop. I don't think I've went a day with out playing it or at least starting it up. it's all I think about at work.

Ya, that is how it looks in my single player map I was working on, however for some reason when I played on line last night  on someone’s map, I was trying to grab ammo from a box and it would not load my gun, maybe the box was empty? Also, sometimes when I jump in a chopper by myself as a pilot, I can not shoot manually? Is a plain gunner manditory in in multiplayer games or could this just be the way the developer of the map set it up? I don't have problems manually fireing a helicopter in single missions, just not online.
