It's a problem with the 'format'-command and very large arrays (or very long strings). AFAIR 'format' has a limit of 2048 characters and big arrays can exceed this limit, thus crashing OFP. You're free to do this :)

I've taken a quick look through it; search for the following line in the script (line 42): if (format["%1",KRON_AllEnemies]=="scalar bool array string 0xfcffffef") then {KRON_AllMembers=[];KRON_AllEnemies=[];KRON_AllLeaders=[]} Replace it with the following: _d=true if(count KRON_AllEnemies>=0) then {_d=false;} if(_d) then {KRON_AllMembers=[];KRON_AllEnemies=[];KRON_AllLeaders=[];}

Whatever time it takes to lookup the correct file, the cost from longer path names is dwarved by the time it takes to load the sound file and the actual playing which lasts for hundreds/thousands of frames compared to the lookup which happens only at one frame. So: Don't worry about the path length/complexity.

Well, I remember sitting in the cinema, watching the Pearl Harbor-trailer, drooling all over it. A few weeks later I was sitting in the cinema, expecting a war movie, and then it was a fucking love-story...

Many of those addons were given to other addon groups like RHS and ORCS, but a few were released: URAL truck: http://ofp.gamepark.cz/index.php?showthis=8846 T-72: http://ofp.gamepark.cz/index.php?showthis=10511 Shilka: http://ofp.gamepark.cz/index.php?showthis=9582 BRDM-1: http://ofp.gamepark.cz/index.php?showthis=6487 In case nobody here knows where to get the other addons seen in your screenshots (like FROG, BTR-60, BRDM-2), your best bet is to ask at flashpoint.ru, and/or the ORCS guys if they still have those addons somewhere.

If Russia invades The Netherlands, you nuke Moscow, not Amsterdam... That's the whole point of strategic nukes :) Read on "Mutually Assured Destruction"; that's why NATO always held up the option of a first strike, as a deterrent so the Eastern Bloc does not try a conventional attack.

Just a stupid question: Does the development of the F-35B make any sense at all? You may save money by having smaller aircraft carriers, but doesn't the probably increased complexity of the F-35B eat a lot of those savings? Beside reduced mission capabilities? What is the tactical use of the F-35B?

Nope, 12 men per group is a hard limit.

Actually, "Map Editing" refers to creating 'islands' in OFP. What you actually mean is "Mission Editing". :) Well, PLAYER is the unit you will play as in Single Player; in Single Player PLAYABLE has no meaning. In Multiplayer-mode both PLAYABLE and PLAYER are units that can be played as. That's not possible in OFP.

It's probably this && "Land" countType thislist > 0

I guess he forgot to press the 'V'-key (or whatever is bound to use optics).

I guess CM was influenced by Nintendo's F-Zero instead of the Microprose F1-sims...

It's good old swarm tactics. Throw a lot of those "flying boats" at the carrier groups (all while also performing a missile attack) and the capital ships will be easily defeated. Here's an interesting article by the war nerd (could not find any better link): http://www.wakeupfromyourslumber.com/node/3793

I'm starting to get my unfinished stuff out, hoping it is useful to someone. Everything made exclusively by me (or based on BIS-stuff) will fall under a "do what you want"-license. I hope I can release as much as possible. The first release is a runway-/taxiway-addon; the runway has to be applied as an island texture, the taxiway is a road-like object. MLODs are included in the archive (which weighs around 1MB). Sorry for not providing pictures... Mirrors are welcome, since I've got a limited data transfer volume on my homepage. In case you cannot download it, send me a PM, I'm going to e-mail you the addon. 27.1.2009 Runway and Taxiway addon: http://www.filefactory.com/file/a03fd17/n/scf_airbase_rar http://home.arcor.de/vektorboson/res/scf_airbase.rar --- 23.12.2009 Flashpoint Germany US Army vehicles: Contains - IP M1 Abrams - M113A2, M113A2 Ambulance, M163 Vulcan - Chaparral This pack contains only P3Ds and textures!

26.09.2010 Added Billboard template addon (as promised to VBCI): http://home.arcor.de/vektorboson/res/scf_bill.7z

Hm, I just made a billboard for use with setObjectTexture. I once discovered a method how to make textures sharp when using setObjectTexture, but somehow it doesn't work for my billboard. The textures occur blurry, as for many others before. So if you don't want blurry textures, you need to make an extra model for every ad you want to have on the billboard. I'll wrap my billboard model up later and release a template for modification.

Since I'm in a good mood (I'm drunk) I'll make a such a billboard for you. But there's one big problem: 'setObjectTexture' works only with vehicles, so the billboards won't behave like standard objects, but rather like a static M2 Machine Gun. This shouldn't be a problem unless the player drives into them.

The Mapfact barracks addon has a few billboards in it. They are all prefixed by "Schild_". If you want to have your own advertising on those billboards, you need to retexture those.

Well, apparently Mr. Cochrane teaches us that one is pretty capable to design a warp drive while being constantly under the influence :D

I'm a Star Trek-fan, but I prefer The Next Generation; therefore I chose Magic Carpet Ride (it's used in Star Trek: First Contact). :)

Actually the nuke scripts are from CoC (chain of command), and at least walker is still active, so ask him for permission. (Or you require the CoC torpedoes to be installed and reference the nuke script from that addon).

Well, there's Global Conflict Blue 2: www.gcblue2.com There is also a naval sim without external/3D view in the making, it's called Red Pill: http://www.warfaresims.com/ There is Steel Beasts Pro PE (though it is expensive), and there is DCS Blackshark. In case you rather want the Apache Longbow, there is a simulator in the making: http://combathelo.blogspot.com/ Actually the next few years will be good times for simulator fans, as there are several in the making.

It doesn't matter if you miss your target by 3km if you have a target as big as Seoul.

Tell me about one virus that has sold a symptom :p This should answer your 'badly designed' point. :D
