I found another "pearl" : TIPS - The Terrorism Information and Prevention System http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2002/07/14/1026185141232.html It worked well in communistic Czechoslovakia. I found almost no information about TIPS in czech media. Â

It's no to bad to do it every time. If you mean in MP respawn there are several respawn scripts. If you mean in editing there are some ways. Some addon or editor upgrade or modifing some cfg file. I don't know how to do it but I know it exists. But usually main problem is when you want to play your mission on another computer. It didn't work without same changes you have in your Flashpoint.

I played few days ago and it was games full of frindly-fire. Every mission I played was similar to other 3D shooters MP missions. In many case there was all equipment available for each side. So only way how to recognize enemy was uniform and side he faced. It was totaly different experience on playing OFP LAN games with friends. In LAN games there, obviously, leader leads his soldiers but in internet game everybody just run for best equipment a run against enemy even in coop missions. Best games I played was with some clan players. They have some tactic so it's easy to join them. In organized group you just must check your sector because other sectors are covered by another squad members. It's too difficult to play as lone wolf where you must look around whole time and when you spot someone decide if he is friend or foe.

The ability of processing information is countered by the enourmous information growth. Even if they could tap every phone line and read every e-mail, they would have no real way of processing it all and much less to interpret it to weed out the real stuff from irrelevant.<span id='postcolor'> It means that system can not work effectively in general. But if they catch some little info about you, they can monitor effectively all your communication. It can be bad threat-tracking tool, but it can be very good spy tool. Spying and blackmailing people on high posts, industry and military espionage. And there are some interesting technologies that will be used in the project. I think project can be successly finished even there will be enormous amount of informations to filter.

Nice.

Yea, I know but you must pay attention on details - face, weapon, damage. I hoped there is same way I don't know about.

Another way : Make disarm action enabled from start of mission and use one public variable for counting mines. (mines=10). Script for disarming action : </span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE"> ?!(player distance nearestObject [player,"Mine"]<1.5):exit deleteVehicle nearestObject [player,"Mine"] mines=mines-1 <span id='postcolor'> Then make trigger that checks mines==0 or include it into disarm script. There you can remove disable action and start tank moving. With my version you can have random position of minefield and mines. One disadvantage is that you may have only one minefield.

try to change : _d=(count unitslist)-1 _x=0

Trigger returns array of units. So on activation put : [thislist,spotter] exec "detection.sqs" You can use area detection trigger or you can use it on startup so even eneny units splits up, script will be checking knowsabout value.

Plese copy and paste your script here. It'll be much easier and faster to do something with it then.

When you are editing mission, there is folder with your mission files. Flashpoint\users\userName\missions\missionFolder Put your briefiefing.html and overview.html there, then (from Editor) save it as single or multiplayer mission or use some external PBO creator.

About different wps : http://www.flashpoint1985.com/cgi-bin....t=23912 About units : use createUnit command.

Following search results : http://www.flashpoint1985.com/cgi-bin....d2ac4b6 End mission : by trygger type end#1 (for example). Try to find some mission editing tutorials. There is short one instaled togethere with Flashpoint itself.

Look at the second pinned topic (here in mission editing), or dowload from official Flashpoint page.

It sounds good now.

I don't know how it works in the other Armed Forces, but in Czechia there are requirements dependent on age of soldier. It shows if soldier is in good condition and capable for regular duty. There are also different tables for men and women. We got point system. There are several pointed disciplines. Every soldiers must to satisfy lower limit in each discipline to stay in Czech Armed Forces (most of female soldiers I know can satisfy men-lower limit too). If he takes lowest posible point range he can stay in CzAF, but he can not be promoted to higher rank. With second point range soldier can be promoted. And with points above second limit soldier is in very good physical condition and , I think, it's necessary condition for serving in combat unit. Commander can also add or substract some money to/from personal valuation (it's some bonus to salary) according to that physical tests. I think if there are some requirements for staying in Arm.Forces they must be fulfiled. And it doesn't matter if it's man or woman. It will be a much harder for women, but without this there will be always some men complaining about diferent criterias. And they'll be right. "Woman, you want to do same we are doing ? So you must be same good as we are." War is for warriors, despite of sex. It's what I call equal rights. But it's possible that there'll be some persons, responsible for combat readiness, that, in future, lower needed criteria. But I hope they will be sure about it, that a common sense will win over a politics.
