I just search. I've found 3 threads... Suma used the same explanation as you Korax. Sorry, but the facts are saying otherwise. According to what I see, the first units that you create (even if their type are already on the map) lag. (1 of 10 times they dont) Â The next squad you try to create lags less... This is definiteley related to the createUnit command. And there is a huge difference between createVehicle and createUnit. I've never encounter any lag with createVehicle (even when the type is not on the map). Well, it seems that there is nothing we can do about it. This is an OFP engine related problem. A small price to pay. I still prefer 5 seconds of lag 2 or 3 times during a mission than a little lag all the time. Thanks for answering Cheers

Hi, Is there a way to create a squad without that freaking lag that occur for 3/5 seconds? Â What ever the way I put it I cant stop the lag. Any help would be appreciated... Cheers

@Korax The types already exist. The units are created at mid-mission and they are just copies of what was put in the editor. @bn880 You're right. I didnt search first. Doing it now...

Well said Lee_H._Oswald. Installers are usefull when you have to replace/patch/backup files in multiple directories. I hate anything that touch my registry. If all you need is to put a folder in the flashpoint directory I really dont see the point. If you can tell to the installer where is your flashpoint directory, I dont see why you cant just unzip/unrar the addon in that directory. Hey   Nothing personnal man and thanks for your work. Cheers

When you have a certain amount of soldiers (both sides) on the field some funny things sometimes happend. It is not rare to see an east soldier shoulder to shoulder with a west soldier like they are having a casual conversation... I made some test on the KnowsAbout function and I can tell you that some results are very strange. I dont believe that the ofp ai routines are specialized enough for cqb. But it can surely be better (script/mod/...) cheers

I'm not sure but I think that the video you saw is propably the trailer (7.2 MB). There is a new one where the project leader is explaining live how the teams work (117 MB). This is an amazing one. It's an xBox demo showing how to give the orders to the teams. If you didn't see that one, I really recommend that you download it - you wont regret! Tell me what you think. I was simply amazed... Cheers

Thanks for answering. My apologies, I did not used the search option before posting. I would not compare that to OFP. This is a mix of a few games that I can think of (BHD, H&D2, a bit of OFP to, ...) but very specialized in urban warfare. I think this is going to kick ass... Thanks again. Cheers (Topic locked?)

Downloading... Merry Christmas to you to Suchey

Received! I didnt have much time yesterday but I had a quick look at it. This is in my opinion a good type of mission for this island. Unfortunately (for me) the Tonal island lags to much on my pc to the point I cant even double-click the note pad in map mode. It took me 4/5 tries before I can click on the map to send a soldier to a position. This has nothing to do with the mission, it happens even with only 2/3 soldiers on the map. Time to upgrade... The only critic I can give about the mission to that stage is that we need feedback on the other squad. It would be nice to receive a few messages like "Moving in", "Engaging", "Clear", ... that will let you know your support squad status (it will add to the atmosphere to). Looking forward for more free time to play it again. Keep on the good work PS: Is the bridge destroyable?

Hi Winters, I cant access my yahoo account at the moment. Send me the mission at: [email protected] I'll be happy to test it... Cheers AliMag

Hi Winters, Do you have any other link for Select This and Airwolf addons? I have problems with gamezone download... Cheers AliMag EDIT Never mind. I've found them

Ok, Laser Rangers: http://www.filefront.com/?filepa....ers.rar Earl & Suchey USMC: http://www.filefront.com/?filepa....ta3.zip The Laser Rangers may not have the BAS visual quality but in medium/big battlefield size mission they make a difference between a slide show (unplayable) and a more normal frame rate.

Hi everyone, I've just finished (I hope) a mission using Earl & Suchey USMC and Laser 1993 Rangers. Boy, I find those addons fantastic! This is the first mission of a mission pack called "Delta Sector". The second one is almost in beta stage and the background of the third one is already set. The island is Kolgujev and you play a ranger platoon leader. In this first one you just control one of the squad in the platoon but the second mission will let you control the full platoon. I'm looking at the CE2 engine to see what part of it I can use for the second mission...later Here's a link to the mission (New Link from Avon Lady): [Pulakov Beach] Filefront Mirror Mirror by W0lle The addon links are: - Laser LSR 1993 Rangers ver 1.10 ftp://www.gamezone.cz/ofpd/unofaddons2/LSR_1993_rangers110.rar - Earl & Suchey Current Conflict USMC ver 4.9.2003 http://www.mtco.com/games/downloads/USMCbeta3.zip - Lester Invisible Targets ver 1.3 (include in zip) Hope you enjoy it Any feedback will be appreciated Cheers AliMag

Hi Anti_Gravity, Why dont you just put a link to your mission right here and we'll be glad to try it. Cheers AliMag

Not a bad idea Sharia, It would probably help to the mission longevity Thanks for downloading and awaiting your feedback. For the M113, I think i'll just join it to the player group if there is 10 units or less. Otherwise you should have enough men to secure the station without it and you can use the truck as transport or go by foot (it's really not far). Back to work...

@winters I've just been introduced to your missions by the Avon Lady. I've already tried "Eagles Dare" and "We Stand Alone Together" Great stuff man. I'm downloading Silent Night right now. Keep on the good work... Cheers AliMag

You mean an empty M113? Because if you still have more than 10 men I cant join the M113 to you

After the second briefing (map) there is a hint on the screen telling you that you can send the M113 anywhere you want by clicking on the map. You may have miss that one in the heat of the action Seriously, to move the M113 you have to click a destination on the map (onMapSingleClick). You can use it as transport or send it in front and hide behind (the later may not be a good idea...) You can also use the truck as transport and move the M113 where you want as supporting fire. The hint is to tell you that from now on you have control on the M113 by clicking the destination on the map About the lag, I wonder if the @ condition is more CPU intensive than a loop checking the condition every second... I'll make some test and adjustement if I see a difference. It's getting more and more difficult to make a mission for older PCs Thanks for your comments AliMag

noted for the version comment! But is the mission playable now? Because as I said before, the intro is lagging a bit. To much to be playable but not enough so you cant watch the video. But on my PC the mission does not give me any problem at all. This is strange... I'll try to remove some of the barbed wire to see what happens. And thanks for the Winter's mission. I'll download it right now. By the way, do you still have the error message?

@Acecombat, Sorry mate. I've scan the net for other links for the rangers without success. It's a shame that those addons (both rangers & marines) cannot be found on more sites. I think they are terrific! I will try to upload them somewhere more accessible... Cheers AliMag

I think you got it! I once tried the mission with the ECP mod and my frame rate drops at something like 2/3 frames per second. It was unplayable. I'm not saying that the ECP mod (or any other one) has a problem but with medium/big quantities of objects on the screen there is no doubt that the lag will increase. On top of it, I'm using the BIS fire/smoke scripts when a BMP is destroyed so putting something else on top of it may be to much for your processor. Why dont you try the mission without anything else... Thanks for the quick reply Awaiting your test results...new copy on the way AliMag

Hi, @mi-lady Thanks for the comments. 1. Here are my specs and ofp setup for this mission: CPU: AMD Athlon 1Ghz RAM: 512 SDRAM VID: GeForce 4 TI4200 Frame Rate: 10.20 Visual Quality: 6.18 Visibility: 900 Terrain Detail: LOW Resolution: 1024 x 768 x 32 Hardware T&L: enabled Cloudlets: enabled Blood: enabled All the rest: disabled and I have some lag during the intro but very slight during the mission (I have no problem playing it). If the mission is to slow to be played this is a big problem. Try adjusting the video options and if the mission is still to slow I will have to try something else. 2. When you have the time can you post or mail me the error message that you received because I never had one. 3. I will put an overview page for the folder (I didn't even know it was possible) Â 4. I will also rename the pbo file 5. I will ask for it. That's my lady alright. Thanks for the comments. I'll try to modify the upload on the other sites and will send you a new copy. Back to work... Thanks AliMag

Thanks mi-lady!

Hi Acecombat, Thanks for trying... The only other link that I've found is this one: http://www.fileplanet.com/dl.aspx....110.rar I'm not sure but you may have to create an account to be able to download. It's free. You're wright, some links are really an headache... Cheers and waiting for feedback AliMag
