Ok, so what IS the BEST, most realistic sound mod addon out there?

I'd want the god-like power to lock threads, move threads and generally rule over everyone else? So how DOES one become a moderator?

Before you lock a thread next time, and inform the writer to perform a SEARCH function on the topic, can you PLEASE give the person innocently ASKING the question a hint, a clue a step in the right direction as to WHAT exactly to write IN the search line? You locked the thread where I asked WHERE I should put my downloaded addons and you told me to SEARCH for the topic, then locked the thread. I performed a search using the words addons, addons folder, folder, file, etc AND GOT about ONE MILLION responses. C'mon, help me out here. Is it THAT imperative we keep this board free from these types of questions? WHAT words do I look for then??

Let me ask you a simple, yet important question. When I download a new addon, and it says "for resistance only", does that mean I MUST put the .pbo file in the Resistance/Addons folder? What happens if ALL my addons are in my OFP/Addons folder?

Greetings, I recently posted that I was having trouble getting booted to desktop and sometimes even the computer system rebooted entirely after a few minutes playing any of my own missions. I made a scan of my addons and noticed that I had: Editor Upgrade 1.02 Editor Update 1.02 Editor Upgrade 1.11 AND Editor Ugrade 1.75 all together in my Addons folder. Would this be a cause for my problems of the game crashing to desktop and/or rebooting my computer?

How would I go about making an entire platoon (60 men) of enemy infantry move from one end of a map to the other and attacking a U.S. base simultaneously??? I need to have them all move AFTER a certain amount of time (say about 10 minutes) after I start the mission??

I'll try it out guys....I hope it works because I have a whole platoon of NVA itching to see some action I may even make it a company of NVA (about 240 men)...Lord knows my system can handle it. Ok, I'll let you know what happens. PS-No, I wont be controlling them, just fighting them off at the other end of their charge!

Everytime I try playing (previewing) ANY of the missions I'm working on in the mission editor, I KEEP getting knocked out to desktop...sometimes my WHOLE SYSTEM gets rebooted!!!!! Â WHY THE HELL is this happening?!! I had 1.75, now I downloaded 1.85 and it STILL happens. BTW I have about EVERY addon that has been available with the exception of a few bad ones. I'm nervous I WON'T be able to actually play a mission I have been creating for a LONG time!

If you've got every addon ever released that's prolly a bad thing, try removing them all except official ones.<span id='postcolor'> OS=WINDOWS XP Swapfile setting=What the heck is that? Removing ALL Addons? Have you ever seen a grown man cry???

Well, lets see its a: HP Pavillion 7965 1.7 GHz Intel Pentium 4 512 MB SDRAM Memory 80 GB ultra DMA hard drive 32 MB nVidia TNT2 M64 graphics card with 32 MB SDRAM Anything else?

Well, since I'm not well versed on scripting, I'll use your second suggestion and sync the WPs. How about a timer to actually get them moving once I reach the unfortunate base?? I tried triggering, BUT they just seem to take off on their own.

Greetings again... Here's the scenario: I have a platoon of U.S. soldiers walking on a road into a wooded area with all weapons slung on their backs... I have 5 VC hidden on one side of the road and 5 more VC on the other side (both looking towards the road), waiting for the platoon to come into their sights! Now here's the question: How do I get the VC to wait until the last moment (i.e. the U.S. platoon point man is right in front of them and the entire platoon is wide open) to simultaneously open up with ALL guns blazing and mow down the entire platoon?? Would I need triggers? If so, how would I use them, etc.. please be detailed. Thanks In other words, how would I go about setting up and springing up a PERFECT ambush??

This way they dont start shooting each other until you set them to setcaptive false. This can be triggered at the moment you want. This will keep you away from unwanted ai attacks.<span id='postcolor'> Hmmm....EXCELLENT advice...I SHALL try it out... Thanks

Looks like I'll have to hide the VC REALLY well in order for them NOT to be spotted by the U.S. platoon memebers until its too late.

Thanks guys...I'll try it out and come back with a report

What exactly IS "GAME LOGIC" and what does it do?

Thanks boys

SWEET..Glad to know I'm not the only one that feels this way. YOU GUYS RULE!!! Thanks

Trying to put a script into a wordpad document, but when I press "save as" only 3 or 4 saveable file extentions are available.. there IS no option to save as a .sqs file. How do I do this?

Nope....deosn't seem to work... there are three lines: File Name Save As Encoding The only one I'm able to manually change upon saving the NotePad document is the File Name portion of it. All else cannot be changes.

Anyone know how/where I can get realistic fires (keep in mind that I am NOT happy with the CatFires offered for download (either to big, too small or unrealistic annoying sound). I'd like the fire to have plenty of black smoke, and NOT bog down frame rate too much. Am I asking the impossible? Anyone?

YOU sir are my newest best friend. Thanks!
