great *stops worrying* these are the best looking units i've ever seen for flashpoint, its just bloody fantastic there will be a set of SAS blokes released. I love the UKF stuff, but as of yet no SAS blokes released!! Would love to see some jungle and 95' pattern SAS blokes out there. On a slightly different note, although related .. if anyone knows there i can get some decent english camo faces please let me know .... desperately looking ..................

may i seem a little thick please? you talk of randomness when using the SAS blokes, will there be a way to stop the randomness and have each soldier with a standard set of gear? Perhaps you've already addressed this, if so sorry for asking the same ole again ...... Cheers

great looking units, cant wait to get me hands on em. regarding the naming, i dont think it will be too much of an issue for anyone, everyone just seems to want them. However the way you have in your post seems fine to me. the bergens, are they useable? for example can u put stuff in them and can you drop the bergen. I know it was talked about in the previous posts, but not sure what finally happened. great work BB

if u have downloaded the basic 1.96 server and are running it without making a shortcut, then it will not be loading a config file make a shortcut adding this to the target line (found under properties) -config=sample.cfg this also applys on a dedicated server and needs to be done in the .bat file.

hi i am renting a server and the server is laggy at times, the server company says this is an output it produces <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">WATCHDOG (5875): [Thu May 5 11:20:01 BST 2005] Server shutdown intentional, watchdog terminating WATCHDOG (5892): [Thu May 5 11:20:01 BST 2005] Starting server (port 2302)... 11:20:01 Dedicated server created, memory used: 7040 KB Operation Flashpoint Console version 1.96: port 2302 - Sockets 11:20:03 Server identity created WATCHDOG (5892): [Thu May 5 11:20:20 BST 2005] Server shutdown intentional, watchdog terminating WATCHDOG (5909): [Thu May 5 11:20:20 BST 2005] Starting server (port 2302)... 11:20:20 Dedicated server created, memory used: 7040 KB what does this mean? and can it be fixed? please help

the problem seems the have been the @ECP mod i've changed the folder name and the problem seems to have stopped. @killswitch that is the whole file, just those four lines @ RN so can i just copy ur config and it will sort this?

thanks for response killswitch those four lines come from what i presume is something to do with the server restart function i have? its a file called ofpserverrestart we do use alot of addons, detecting which one might cause the problem sounds like a lengthly process. i have told the server company what you think the problem is, hopefully they will be able to sort it from here.........

ok i've asked the server company and they said we only have ftp access for security reasons, whatever they are lol

by the was feel free to add me to your msn if you think it would help in solving issue wi77ard@hotmail.com

We pay Å40 for our server at the moment, and although the lag is there, most maps are playable with upto 16 players, the really annoying thing is the random restarts. However if renting 'shelf space' wasnt overly priced, we'd be interested in learning more, know of anywhere offering such a service? cheers

double bump

ok first off, i have ftp access to the flashpoint server, do u want me to post the file here so u can take a look? how would i know what has write access? would running the server on a windows based server help any? lastly, we are only a small clan and want hosting for 16 - 32 players, what spec of server would u recommend?

and if u want realism 22 SAS Regiment Scripted AI no longer do they stand doing nothing, they can hear, react and interact! Bergens that actually carry weaponry, but have litmits too. Stamina no longer can one man run the length of the island without breaking a sweat We have simple rank structure, are not regimented (no salutes), train hard, play lots ......... also no respawn

this script is great, i have used it in SP lots and it makes for a much better mission. I am trying to get it working in MP, it works to an extent, but only shows the stamina and skill of other members of your squad, but does work for all players including the leader of the group. Is there some way someone could make this work for a single unit? i would like it to simply do exactly the same thing, but also the addition of when the stamina is right down it slowly reduces the health of the player, and it would then detect when the player is stopped and / or sitting down and then slowly recover the stamina, but not the health. Is this possible??? Thanks for help in advance .....

hiya we are renting a server from inx-gaming.co.uk which is great, but they are new to hosting flashpoint and we are new to linux servers. What we would like is to use the @ECP mod and a few other addons which are in use within our clan. We want to use the UK forces infantry and CoC artillery. We have got it so that we can play normal resistance and coldwar missions, and the server shows and requires @ECP. @ECP works and produces the spectating script on death, but the UK forces addons dont seem to be working, whenever we load a mission using these addons, it automatically sends us back to the mission selection screen. I have tried copying over the UK forces addons to the res folder on the server and ensuring they are all lower case, still nothing ... .. any ideas?? Also our xml isnt working ingame not sure why the link is here thanks for your help in advance

thanks for reply yeh both server and client are using same version of UK forces addons and the mission i am trying to test them with is basicly one man (uk forces) placed on desert island map with nothing else. the path to the XML iin ofp profile is exactly as written in first post. This should work as far as i know, but doesnt. Definatly no spaces before or after either. any other thoughts? cheers

I've created a beta mission using the COC and other scripts take a look on the ofpec forums ofpec beta mission
