    Glow Sticks?

    In the game Vietcong, you had to clear a bunch of VC tunnels and you had to drop glowsticks to mark where you've been. BTW, maybe the satchel charge "place" animation can be used but replace the satchel with a glowstick.

    Incursion

    I did the x4 speed trick twice. First to get through the fence. Second to get through the back of the house to steal the papers (and to get out). No shots fired.

    Very nice work! I'm just glad in OFP, we don't have to worry about shifting up through 15 gears. ;)

    Campaign fix for red hammer

    I notice neither the Red Hammer nor the 1985 campaign patches are in the downloads section anymore. Maybe the final patch fixed a problem with the game (AI most likely) so these fixes are no longer needed?

    What grabs you most about a campaign/mission?

    Well I think there's a bigger campaign coming up in Holland or something but 1.2 comes with the campaign called "Operation Husky", the invasion on Sicily. I'm only a couple of missions into it but it's awesome so far, very challenging.

    1.96 problems

    1. OK, some corrections, after testing, there is no crash when picking up a weapon with no ammo. Maybe I made a mistake. EDIT: After further testing, there IS a crash bug. Download mission and follow instructions exactly. http://www.angelfire.com/ultra/superhellninja/WeaponPickup.zip Once the mission starts kill your leader then take his M16 IMMEDIATLY (before you finish saying "one is down"). The game should crash. It won't crash however if you take too long. 2. However AI still doesn't rearm. I made a mission. http://www.angelfire.com/ultra/superhellninja/AIrearm.zip (You may have to click "Save Target As") Just start the mission and watch. 3. Finally, I made a mistake with the laser designator. I played with some settings and found the reason. "Enable rifle tracers" controls whether the laser is visible. Strange. I didn't know that.

    Downgrade back to 1.91

    I want to revert back to 1.91 after annoying bugs in 1.96 rc but the 1.91 patch won't let me install because of 1.96. I'm pretty sure the only file that was changed was the exe so can anyone host the 1.91 OFP exe for me please? Or e-mail it to Benaksoy@hotmail.com. Many thanks to whoever can help me.

    Downgrade back to 1.91

    Of course the 1.96 bugs are usually unnoticable but in the complexity of a mission such as MFCTI, they could cause trouble or even crash the game. 1.91 was stable and (for the means I'm using it for) nearly bug-free. Ah well, I decided to reinstall the game and install 1.91 only. Thanks anyway, guys (I think). EDIT: Thank you Bratty for your efforts! But I reinstalled because I didn't think anybody would be willing to help. I'm sorry if this caused you any trouble. Thanks again.

    Downgrade back to 1.91

    What bugs? I posted these in the 1.96 bugs thread. 1. AI soldiers don't rearm when told to do so by an AI leader. 2. Laser designator doesn't work. (Both the weapon and on OH-58) 3. Game crashes when you pick up a weapon containing no ammo. 4. I could go on... Why the EXE? The 1.96 patch only replaces the exe, it's the only file I need to downgrade back to 1.91. Why not download the patch? I guess "but the 1.91 patch won't let me install because of 1.96" wasn't clear enough??? Why revert to an older version/make OFP worse? Believe it or not, 1.96 is more buggy than 1.91. I've reported the bugs I've found and I feel I've finished my job as a beta tester. Plus, I'm playing around with the source of MFCTI and I want to make sure any errors are because of me and not the buggy software. I think the AI rearming bug is causing problems for me right now and I want to go back to 1.91 when it worked. And Llauma, that's incorrect for a couple reasons. 1. If I wanted a cracked EXE, why would I ask for a non-cracked, fresh, clean OFP 1.91 exe? Wouldn't I go looking for a cracked OFP EXE? 2. 1.96 is a crack in itself. You don't need the CD in to play with 1.96. Can anyone please send me a 1.91 OFP EXE? Has everyone upgraded?

    1.96 problems

    1.96 Bugs: 1. Laser designator does not work. (Both the weapon and OH-58.) EDIT: Actually, this may be a videocard/driver bug. 2. AI soldiers don't rearm when AI commander tells them to. 3. Game crashes when you pickup a weapon from a dead soldier with no ammo. (Use "x removeMagazines "M16")

    What grabs you most about a campaign/mission?

    I think you're missing one important category, atmosphere. I started playing the Invasion 44 campaign. Amazing. Paratrooping into the night and trying to find your buddies was awesome. The flash from flak going off gave me a glimpse of someone hiding in the bushes. Assuming it's a friendly, I walked up and whispered "George", instead of returning with "Marshall", he shouts in German and fires off a shot! With my heart racing, I quickly cap him. Atmospheric and immersive missions are my favorite.

    Formatting hard-drive

    I want to do a clean reinstall of Windows XP but I want to keep some files on my disk. They're mostly things I don't want to download again on my 56k such as patches and drivers. My computer ate up my last CD-R tonight, so i ask you: Is there anyway I can keep these files during a format other than burning them? Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Formatting hard-drive

    Hmm, I'm wondering if it would be possible for me to partition my HD, use one to backup my files on and then to format the other one. Maybe? :/

    Laser markers and a-10 lgb.

    1.96 broke the laser designator. You can't turn the laser on.

    Have you played around with all the possible combinations for hardware acceleration and EAX?

    196 bug

    No, no, no. What he's saying is that AI officers cannot order other AI soldier to pick up ammo. Notice he says to place an officer (AI)  and 2 soldiers (one as player). Give the AI soldier no ammo. When the AI soldier is ordered to rearm (at an ammo box), he does nothing. Read on to learn why this bug exists (mainly for devs): This bug exists because the rearm waypoint is deleted a split second after it is created  . I nkow his because back in 1.91, when you were told to rearm, you would see an waypoint on your HUD pointing you where to rearm until you did so. Now in 1.96, when you're told to rearm, you only see the waypoint for an extremely short period of time (not even enough time to read that it says "Rearm") because this waypoint is immediatly deleted for some reason. The rearm waypoint must remain until the AI (or human player) has picked up the ammo. This is why the AI doesn't know where to go. Another bug (I don't think it's worthy of its own thread): The laser designator doesn't work anymore. The laser won't turn on. And the crash bug related to dropped laser designators is still not fixed  . EDIT: AI leaders cannot order AI soldiers to pick up ammo from crates but picking up ammo from dead soldiers works.

    New patch: 1,96 beta

    And they had better release the final patch before we reach version number 2.00. With Operation Flashpoint 2 looming, it might be confusing explaining what game you have. "So i downloaded OFP 2.00 the other day." "OpF2 is outz0rz? pls giv link or somefink!!1"

    1.95b ctd

    These is a bug in 1.95b that has existed through all the beta's and at least since 1.91. When a unit using a laser desgnator is killed, he drops the laser desgnator, but the laser remains on. When another unit crosses the path of that laser, a crash to the desktop occurs without any message. Developers, follow these steps to reproduce the crash: 1. Start the mission builder and place a T80 with the player as the gunner. 2. Place a Black Op (laser) nearby and hit Preview. 3. Wait for the Black Op to use the laser designator, then kill him. 4. Make sure that when the Black Op dies, the laser designator falls so that it's not pointing downward and that the laser is not hitting the ground directly below it. (So that you are able to walk through its path) 5. If the laser designator falls so that the laser hits the ground, Retry the mission and kill him again! Â 6. Now disembark the tank and go to his body. 7. As soon as you enter the path of the designator's laser, the game crashes. Simple fix: Turn off the laser when the unit is killed. I hope you all understand what I'm saying. Â I know it's a minor bug, but it's a bug nevertheless. This game is so close to being perfect. And can I get a confirmation from the developers when this is on the "To-Fix" list?

    1.95b ctd

    I just tested this scenario again with 1.96 and I'm sad to say that it still crashes. The laser isn't visible anymore this time but the game still crashes when you walk through the path of the laser.

    1.95 problems

    I've found 2 bugs. 1. The Scud Launcher model becomes corrupt when you try and launch a scud. Try it, you'll see what I mean. This does not happen in 1.91. 2. When your AI leader orders you to rearm, the rearm icon appears on the HUD for only a split second. Not even enough time to read that it says "Rearm". I have Extended HUD info enabled and I'm running in cadet mode. The icon used to (and should) stay on your HUD until you rearm. This happens even with 1.91. I don't know when things went wrong.

    Thanks for the quick response. Good luck with the final patch and OFP2!

    Veteran mode navigation

    I've completed all 3 of the stock campaigns under cadet mode and now I want to try it in veteran mode. The difficulty is about the same for me except for one thing. Navigation! I have no idea where to go without the waypoint icon on my screen! I know that you can use landscape features and use your compass to locate the waypoint but on some misions, the waypoint is in the middle of a forest with a 10 meter radius. It's almost impossible to find. Am I missing something because I consider myself an extremely competant player but veteran mode is just impossible unless you're not the leader. Anyone complete all the campaigns under veteran mode?

    Can't play 1985 campaign with 1.85

    In the first mission, when you leave the helicopter to go to the briefing point in the woods, there should be a cutscene but nothing happens. It could be because the second helicopter crashes into the woods but what do I know. I tried to play it with the original OF (1.30) but I get a strange error when I open the campaign section and OF quits on me. What should I do?
