With DOSBox I was able to install Jane's AH-64D Longbow, but I'm having a helluva time getting a shortcut directly to it to work. Here's what's at the bottom of the "longbow.conf" file I edited, saving it directly in the same directory as the game: [autoexec] # Lines in this section will be run at startup. # You can put your MOUNT lines here. mount y y:\ -t cdrom mount c f:\longbow\janes\longbow\longbow c: longbow And here's what's in the DOSBox shortcut: E:\DOSBox-0.74\DOSBox.exe -conf "f:\longbow\janes\longbow\longbow.conf" f:\longbow\janes\longbow\LB.exe" Hopefully someone can help.

I second this!

Motherboard: Asus A8N32-SLI Deluxe. Problem: Whenever I completely remove power from the system, i.e. turn off the power supply (to perform maintenance, etc.) any settings I put into the BIOS (correct time and date, boot disks and priority, etc.) get lost. I have already replaced the CMOS battery, but that didn't solve the problem. Will replacing the BIOS chip fix the problem?

Thanks, guys.

Apologies if this has already been asked. I was clicking through the Splendid Animation Viewer and hit upon AmovPercMwlkSlowWrflOf_ver2. Has anyone been able to, at least for their own use in SP missions, been able to make this the default slow walk anim? http://img703.imageshack.us/img703/4987/h431.png (629 kB)

Pipers! But weer are ye pipers!

After I walk up to the backpack I am given the options to pick up or open the backpack. Opening the pack reveals an empty pack; picking up the pack puts just an empty pack on my back.

Well at the risk of lookin' stupid, I have to report I can't get it working. I've installed @RQ-11_RAVEN_AB_A3 into the root Arma 3 directory, and RQ11RAVEN into the userconfig directory, but neither adding the backpack via the init, adding the backpack in the editor, nor adding the blanket gives me access to a workable Raven. I do have CBA installed. I have noo other mods running.

Thanks, Slatts!

Disregard: I got it installed with withSix.

Thanks, Birdy. Actually I stumbled on that mod not too long after I posted the question. </facepalm> I see that BogatyrVoss chose version 3 of the walk animation rather than version 2. I'm having to re-learn how to open .pbo's--I haven't done any of that since OFP--so I can edit the config.

Is anyone getting this error: no entry "bin\configbin\mcc_sandbox/mcc_factionCombo.ComboScrollbar"? I thought I was using an outdated version of MCC, so I downloaded it again and re-stalled, but the error's still there.

Xeno (or anyone who can answer this really), I'm sorry to bring this up again, but I'm looking for clarification: I'm running an Asus Sabertooth 990FX with a Phenom II x4 965, and I may upgrade the proc to one of the FX. Upgrading the CPU does not affect OEM licensing does it? When you write that the OEM OS is tied to the mobo, that means strictly motherboard, correct, not mobo and cpu combined?

Thanks, Xeno. I think I see at NewEgg in the descriptions the differences. Question: Maybe I should just get the Home Premium Upgrade? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16832116713.

I'm ready to take the plunge and buy Win7 64-bit Pro, as I want to get max usage of 16GB of RAM I have in my rig. (I'm currently running WinXp Pro.) But after reading the 1- and 2-starred comments at NewEgg.com, I'm wondering if the stories regarding the inability to re-install Win7 are founded. Reports about how the OS is tied to the hardware, reports of MS telling customers they have to buy another license, etc. etc.:butbut:

Great job on the mod, esp. the grip anims. Will machine gunners and automatic riflemen be modded with this anim, i.e. when prone or support they'll move the non-firing hand to the stock?

Thanks, Drew.

They could go back in time a bit, Heatseeker: COD 5: The Nam! Â They could focus on the special operations back then: SEAL/UDT, and MAC-V-SOG, Special Forces, SAS(?). Oh why bother! It'll just be another clone! Nothing new but the scenery; gameplay will remain exactly the same.

Great graphics and animations okay sounds. Not loud enough, not like the first Call Of Duty (WW2) Still has the climbing and mantling. Big minuses: Only 1 fire mode for the weapons: E.g. your M4 fires only full-auto; no selector switch. Can't deploy the bipod on the RPD (couldn't find an abandoned SAW to test out, but I'm guessing the same lame ass restriction applies there too.) No grenade cooking; just hit a button and you throw the frag.) Melee consists of a quick as lightning knife slash, then you're quickly rearmed with whatever weapon you had in hand prior. Yeah, pretty linear. Will not be buying it.

Good find!

I hear ya! I'll probably be an old man before I see a developer put as much thought and effort into game mechanics and features as they do the eye candy. (Enough with that already!! To be honest, I could play a game with as dated graphics as Rainbow Six and Rogue Spear, if it meant having all the juicy features an "infantry sim" should have, e.g. "bipod everywhere and anytime". More intelligent AI, and either the direct implementation of those features we keep asking for, or the ability to mod the game so we can put the feature in.

Great job! Something funny I noticed: the soldier in the foregrounds shoots like a sissy-boy! Eyes closed, head turned away. "Ewww the bangs too loud!!!" @ch_123: That there is what you might call a modified isosceles stance with kung-fu grip.

Yes!! Among the "realism-killers" I see in most if not all games that have the M24 is firing it while kneeling or standing! Â If a weapon has a bipod or tripod, please go a step further and model its deployment, and allow for its use where appropriate. Another "killer" is seeing all shoulder-fired weapons being held/aimed in the exact same manner . Example: A soldier holding/aiming M4 or M16, then arming himself with Steyr AUG assault rifle will have the non-firing hand holding the barrel of the AUG, rather than the foregrip. The same with AT weapons. "Ugh!"

Probably not possible until the new tools are released, but anyone working on new or added animations?

I know you stated that you're looking for .doc or .pdf, but let me chime in with a couple other sources, should you decide to go that route: HTML Goodies In the menu at the left is the Primers section. Start with HTML. A more "traditional" option would be Head First HTML with CSS & XHTML This is an incredible book. I wish all technical books were written in this format. (Avoid like the plague: Foundation Web Design. So badly written...I wouldn't use it for toilet paper)
