    Swimming

    Because you know how many soldiers keep zip-locks in their ammo bag Yes. Army standard issue bivi-bags are easily convertible to a watertight bag to put all your kit in when crossing rivers/ lochs. Done it loads of times.

    Resources

    GOOD! I dont like easy games! They have no challenge! There is no reward in completing them.

    The future of the fps genre

    It would be nice to have a mount weapon feature like in Day of Defeat (great half life mod - semi- realistic wwII weapons) in that you can use windowsills, sandbags, broken walls etc to support your bipod (bar, machine guns, bren gun etc) which lowers your recoil and makes you more accurate.

    Game physics

    Actually frankie, the game doesn't get any faster with a faster PC, it just is more likely to run at the speed its supposed to. If you tweak it right you can get a 500mhz to run OFP at the same speed as a 2.4 (will look absolute donkey ba's tho) How can you have unrealistic reaction times if the whole game is speeded up? The ai would react faster too.

    Ir pointers and markers

    Seems to be a bit of confusion between IR and UV - most night vision is UV. IR usually needs liquid oxygen canisters to supercool the detector plate in order to pick up the changes in heat. NV works off a battery. Of course there are really high tech versions of IR that dont need cooling like that but I reckon the ones in game are UV.

    Sidechat question

    put playergroup = group this into every players init then no matter how many people are playing/ not there wil lalways be a group. Also use (units playergroup select 0) instead of leader because apparently the leader one is only the leader at start (IE if he dies hes still leader)

    Ai thread

    Just be sure and make the AI not able to see through foliage! Just played some nice hard coop maps but usually died because of AI shooting through bushes at me (us) when we cant see them - and I dont mean after they've seen me.

    Smaller island/no vehicals

    one of the small islands on any map + editor upgrade = small highly detailed varied island

    Smaller island/no vehicals

    thats all just mission design stuff, its already doable in OFP

    Do we need another scripting language?

    IMO its too late to talk about this now since they are already in development and the BIS coders will not want to change (I assume they like the way they are doing coding atm)

    Updates

    As long as there is an option to get the DL manually (I dont like auto updaters because a) You can usually find a faster mirror yourself b) someone you know / on your lan might have the update already c) you might not want to update (your regular server might not have update yet) d) they take up more system resources than a simple dl )

    Script executed via addaction

    If the script is activated via a trigger it doesnt need to be sent to server, correct? If it does, could you explain as if to a child how to do it
  14. Baron Hurlothrumbo IIX

    How would you go about

    sir! thou art my saviour!
  15. Baron Hurlothrumbo IIX

    How would you go about

    Great but how do you make it work with addaction? I want anyone in a small radius to be able to do the action 'steal radio' I have trigger set up as above, I tried putting </span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">"beacon = _x addaction ["steal beacon","stolen.sqs"]" foreach thislist<span id='postcolor'> and </span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">"_x addaction ["steal beacon","stolen.sqs"]" foreach thislist<span id='postcolor'> in its activation but it gives me an error 'unknown operator steal' EVEN THOUGH steal is in quote marks. stupid thing.

    Vehicle targeting system

    Not all the vehicles in OFP which have this have radar so its a bit wrong.

    Claymores and knifes etc.

    Problem is that most people don't download addons that arent popular/ well linked to (see how many people here didnt even know about the trains) Which is a HUGE problem with MP games, so it would help to have some features which are currently addons integrated into ofp2. Although as for these particular ones, I dont see much use.
  18. Baron Hurlothrumbo IIX

    Claymores and knifes etc.

    No there isnt. Not without an addon.

    Weapons

    I dunno like, some rifles really are more reliable than others. The AK47 is incredibly reliable because its made with such low tolerances theres still enough room for the bolt to move in the body of the rifle if theres some mud in it -but this means that its not very accurate.

    Another suggestions list

    I like all those ideas except this one: </span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Quote </td></tr><tr><td id="QUOTE"> 65¬:Realistic Ammo. -Instead of having magazines unique to each weapon, how about making ammunition that is standardized between NATO and the WP? For example, instead of M16 magazines and XM-177E magazines, you have standard NATO 30 round 5.56mm magazines. That way, a squad with M16s, M-4s, XM-177Es, G36s and other 5.56mm weapons can pick up and use any 5.56mm ammo from the dead and wounded. <span id='postcolor'> Although in theory all 5.56 ammunition is the same, there is a real difference between 5.56 american and 5.56 European. Using one type in a rifle not designed for it will work... but not very well - lots of jams and possibly misfires. So you might get problems if you stuck an m16 mag into a G36, and vice versa. Although I suppose they could say the european weapons had been optimised for yank ammo since they were fighting together or something.

    Do we need female soldier?

    IMO if they do implement female soldiers, it would mean that there would be a female equivalent for every soldier, thus in MP game the slots would simply say 'soldier' or 'machine gunner' - and the players config would determine whether the in game avatar was male or female.

    Switching hands

    plus all the brass ejecting would burn your face off/ blind you

    Do we need female soldier?

    We as gamers and game makers should not have to bow to the opinions of idiots from the bible belt or that of 'soccer moms' who have no idea what they are talking about. F*ck their stupid misconceptions; if they don't understand the issue at hand thats their problem.

    Suggestions for better addon maker support in ofp2

    Great idea
