This time I'm gonna be nice, but next time try searching. I had the same problem, so here's the help I got and it worked. http://www.flashpoint1985.com/cgi-bin....rider67

I'm looking for servers in Europe that play RTS style missions, or Capture and hold, and I'm talking the ENTIRE island, and uses all the vehicles. If anyone could give me some info and how to connect directly to a server, I would appreciate it much. Thanks.

Well from what I can tell when I was with you in testing of that Radar Station, it seemed to work really well. Well, time to got DL the new release. Thanks.

I agree some ppl dont have any snese of tactics or fear of death. I am usually the loner that decides to take the extra ten minutes running so far out of my way to get behind the enemy that i can't even hear the battle anymore, and when all the sudden their 2-3 defenders start getting capped, they think that my teams assault really worked good so they run off to try and stop em, and bam objective secured. OK time to go smoke a cigarette, aren't you guys glad I stopped rambling. So hows the weather? Take it easy.

Well I finally played it on karrillion's server and OMG! It gets insane real quick if you are playing w/ ppl that think they can do everything on their own. happend both times to me. And then Karrillion comes and steals my teams damn MCU....damn you karr!! It was fun though, we'll have to do it agin w/ me, you, and jed on the SAME team.

DOH! didnt think i would need ASE after i got Resistance.....dammit...thanks for reminding me.

ok, i'm currently waiting for a current game on it to be done with so i can play on it. if you get this in time you should stop by and we could try out rts3 together.....i'd like to play alongside the guy who created it. P.S. What's up with me not being able to get the MCU onto a chopper? it says vehicles must be within 15 feet of the bird. I had the MCU right next to it, i mean touching even and it still wouldnt load it onto the chopper...just confused thats all.

what is the port number on that ip? just in case the default one doesn't work.

no one?...crap....

from what i can gather now, no servers are currently running it, but it is still fun to mess around with on your own. Currently I don't beleive that there is any documentation, aside from what you read here in this thread. But, if you have any problems, just post em here and we'll see what we can do for you.

It sounds awesome, is it like a Real-TimeStrategy for OFP or something?<span id='postcolor'> yeah, that's exactly what it is. I find it to be THE best mission that I have played. I am waiting for a server to start running it. I could easily play this thing for 3+ hours without realizing it if I was playing with a bunch of ppl online. I have already played for about an hour and a half by myself on a LAN game, just to get a fel for it. It is awesome. A must to check out. (You can download it in the first post of this thread, then unzip, and drop into your MPmissions folder, and have at it)

i cant seem to load the MCU into the Chinook, every other vehicle loads fine, just not the MCU.

That would be awesome if we could airlift the MCU. Say drive upto the rear of a CH-47 and have an option appear in the "Get Out" menu that acts like "Put MP5 Mag. to CH-47" but instead of the mp5 mag, its the MCU. Then hop in, fly to destination, and walk around back and access the menu again and "Get MCU from CH-47". And you could have it so that the CH-47 is the only chopper capapble of carrying vehicles, like 2 hmmwvs or jeeps at a time, or 1 tank/mcu. Just my .02 Hope this helps ya!

Well, in four weeks time, I will be reporting to Parris Island, South Carolina for United States Marine Corps Recruit Training. Semper Fi.

yup, thats what's happening. I have 1.85 (resistance) and i goto OPFlash Res>Multiplayer>LAN>New>RTS 3>Choose Team>Start>ERROR ERROR Â Don't know what's going on. Getting POed cuz it looks cool as hell. EDIT- I got it working and OMFG!!! EXCELLENT WORK!! I sat there for close to an hour just messing around. Once I find a server that this is playing on, I'm never gonna leave the house! Simply beautiful work! I'm amazed that the AI can actually fly a chopper. I had a sniper flying me around Nogova and LANDING so I could get out and take the town. I am speechless(but my fingers still work! ) Keep up the great work! Can't wait to see what happens next in this awesome mission!

I was wondering if there was a way to skip the initial Codemasters and BI screens and get straight to the User Interface. Kinda like in Half-Life where you edit the shortcut's command path. Really tired of waiting everytime I try something new.

thanks, got it to work now.

umm..ok, now how do i add that line to it. I tried doing ti the HL way and it wouldnt work. Umm any takers?

I happen to love these style missions, however i am encountering a problem with this one. No matter where I start the mission, be it in a New Internet game or on a LAN with no one else on it, I always get the same error message. "NO MESSAGES RECEIVED FOR XX SECONDS" What gives? I have been able to at least see the menu interface and it looks mighty nice. Just wish I could play it.

I have noticed that if I fly a Cobra I will do much better than in a Apache, I'm begining to hate the Apache becuase the Hellfires seem weak compared to the TOW, and inacurate.. Infact i can hit a tank with a FFAR more often than a Hellfire, what the hell is wrong there???<span id='postcolor'> I can help you with that hellfire problem. Mt father is an Apache pilot in the US Army and I had him read your question. His answer is simple. The A[ache is designed as a stable gun platform. Meaning, the hellfire is meant to be fired at a hover from behind cover with an OH-58D painting the target with a laser. HTe hellfire then flies toward it's target at a 45 to 50 degree angle, then drops DOWN on the top of the target where the armor is weakest. That's probably why you are having trouble with the hellfires.

I have looked at the majority of tutorials out there, and ATTEMPTED to follow them, but they are all too confusing. I have converted my .mp3 to .ogg format, but now I have no idea how to get it into the mission. I know I have to edit the description.ext and possibly make a .sqs file; but I am so green at that type of editing that I have absolutely no idea on how to do that. If someone could provide me with a DETAILED walkthrough or tutorial, it would be much appreciated. I mean, I have all the necessary add-ons for a great Vietnam-era mission, but no idea how to get it all to mesh together well.

I'm with cybrid. I can make a nicely layed out mission that plays out pretty well, but when it comes to scripting i might as well be staring at ..............yup drew a blank. same as me trying to learn to script.

first you have to get a website. then you use a file compression tool (winzip) and then upload that onto your site. then you give us the link and we download it. thats all there is to it.

I got it to work using the stringtable.csv, but the music track name doesn't appear in the drop down menu. Any way to fix this? Other that that, the music works with the trigger. Thanks for you help guys.
