    Find that bullet hole

    Well I see this in the config.cpp <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE"> class Crater { model=""; simulation="Crater"; }; But I don't think you can attach an init script to something under cfgnonaivehicles -at least I don't know it would be done.

    Find that bullet hole

    Aren't the bullet holes objects? If so, can you replace the default bullet hole with an addon that runs a script upon spawning?

    Adding to a value?

    Do you mean the name given in the editor - like "soldier1"? I don't see why you need this but I know how to do it. WHen you call the script put the name in quotes - "mandrivertruck" ["mandrivertruck"] exec "thisscript.sqs" and then use the script like so... <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE"> _soldier = _this select 0 _stealthpos = call format ["%1z",_soldier] _randomtime = random 1 #loop ?teleport:goto "transport" ~1 goto "loop" #transport t=true ~1 (call _soldier) setpos getpos (call _stealthpos) (call _soldier) setunitpos "up" exit The call command would take the actuall name, 'mandrivertruck', and inject it iunto the code, sof or example line two of the script would execute as this: _stealthpos = mandrivertruckz The bottom lines would execute as this: mandrivertruck setpos getpos mandrivertruckz mandrivertruck setunitpos "up" But this script makes no sense to me at all. WHat is it even trying to do? Does the soldier mandrivertruckx even exist? If not, your script will not do anything.

    Nvidia launches geforce 6 series

    Flashpoint will eat this card for breakfast - as it has every other new card, though with this one, I'm sure you'll be able to set the fsAA a bit higher and have a prettier picture. Before grabbing this card for OFP, remember all the people who rushed out to get a Radeon 9800 expecting to be able to set their viewdistance to 5000 in OFP.

    By the way. If you're ever in California and this guy gets lights you up on the highway - don't bother trying and outrun him.

    Tax day in the usa

    Sent mine in about a week ago. I get $4100 back from the governemnt, because we bought a house, and had to pay for my wifes tuition out of pocket - some kind of educational credit thingy. Too bad my refund will have to go towards various bills; owning a house is expensive.

    Police in your country

    Most countries use smaller cars for their police force. Perhaps because they don't gert in many high speed chases? In California the Highway patrol tried using little Ford Mustangs... ...for their cars for a year or two, but think they stopped after a few officers died in high speed crashes. In almost all American police departments today, they use the trusty old Ford Crown Victoria. http://www.modernracer.com/features/fordcrownvictoriacop.html The Crown Victoria is a blast to drive - They weight upwards of 4000 pounds yet they can really move for the tanks they are. Stock crown victoria's come with 4.9L 235HP V8 engines - not overly powerfull, but plenty of power to catch the bad dudes, and their weight makes it easy to perform a 'California Stop'.

    Test ecp config

    I think higher AI skill level does translate into better aiming - regardless of what the aimprecision values are, but I don't think the weapon wobble can be changed with skill level. Even with high aimprecision values, a highly skilled AI still cannot shooot as well as a player. I wonder if the default aiming skill levels for AI can be upped to conpensate for this?

    Test ecp config

    I upped the default aimprecision values from 1/0.5/0.2 to 10/5/3 and then place two squads about 250m form eachother. THe result was a drawn out firefight. Even I had problems hitting people because of the increased weapon wobble. Overall the results were fantastic. There's no need for unrealistic dispersion values! 10/5/3 was a bit too high though. The AI was a little too inaccurate. I'd say 8.5/5.5/3.5 would be a good number to try.

    ODOL Explorer v2.0

    Manufacturers of CD-R drives aren't held responsible for the illegal copying of CD's. There are lots of products on the market that can be used to break the law - that's doesn't make the manufacturers liable, as long as their is a legitimate use for them. Look at peer to peer software. Anyone here knows that 99% of the files tranfered over p2p are heing illegally transfered, yet it is perfectly legal to make and distribute peer to peer software because there are legal uses of the software. Nothing was really 'cracked' here (no encyption was broken was it?), so I really don't see what is unethical about making and releasing this tool.

    The Iraq thread 3

    Well if we've got 1,200,000 troops not deployed in conflict areas, and only 1/6 of them are combat ready, then we've got a serious organization problem with our military. Right now, growing the army is out of the question - (not because it would take a draft, it probably wouldn't), but because of the time it would take. In the short run perhaps some reorganization might be in order? Such the pessimist you are! When power is turned over who knows how Iraqis will react - perhaps the current Iraqi security forces will be more responsive to the leadership of other Iraqis.If other countries want to see the Iraq situation fail, then by all means, they should stand by and throw eggs. If iut turns out more troops are needed and they wish for it to succeed (or have a chance), offering to commit some troops - troops that are trained for something other than killing, might be in order. We started the mess, but I don't think other countries should just stand by and let the situation crumble out of spite. Regardless of the outcome, I hardly think it would save Bush any face if foreign countries had to help us out.

    The Iraq thread 3

    'Most' of our forces are in Iraq? We have around 500,000 active duty troops and 700,000 reservists. Out of those, we have about 180,000 troops deployed in conflict areas around the world (Afghanistan, Iraq, Korea, Bosnia). That leaves 1,200,000 troops left in our armed forces. Now obvioulsly many of those are not suited to be deployed in Iraq, but I'm sure a sizeable number are. Of course other countries can pitch in a few troops too, if they chose too. Edit Just you don't ahve to google around to make sure I'm not spitting numbers out of my butt - my source.

    The things they do in the name of religion

    Ah yes. The old 'I don't like religion 'cause it causes bad stuff to happen' attitude. People end up fighting wars and killing for the same reasons rats fight eachother in an overcrowded cage - and no, I'm not talking about a cage overcrowded with Jewish and Catholic rats.

    Test ecp config

    @General Barron Is it possible to increase the default weapon wobble in the config? So, the weapon will wobble even if the player is not injured. I think making the gun just plain inaccurate, is an unfair way to go about it. They do that in America's Army and it pisses my off to no end when my crosshairs are on some guys chest and I can't hit a thing if I'm injured.
