"Soon" as defined by BIS is in 1 or 2 hours. I doubt it in this case though Btw, next week, next month and next year is practically the same thing

Darn, my clan Kompaniet is only ranked #2. Have to fight more

They have released information of how to create models for use in OFP to the I44 team!! And I heard they even given them a sample model, the M1A1. Nothing can of course be implemented yet, but OFP ready models can be made.

Did you restart Windows after reinstall? Maybe the registry didnt know yet you have installed it...

I played a clan combat yesterday with all 80-100 in ping. The third match it lagged like ####. I mean, locking up for 1 min, suddenly be 1000m from last position (with flag on me strange enough, did my ghost take it while the lag was on??), get runned over by an invisible truck and fly 2000m back to our own town was fun, not only for me though. OFP handles extremely bad even with low pings. -EDIT- We where 10 ppl btw. (Edited by Dawdler at 9:51 pm on Nov. 22, 2001)

All Seeing Eye. Much, much, much better than GS on dedicated servers. And about 50 more of them.

Solution: DONT use Gamespy! Gamespy ded servers lock up for me also. Quite often. ASE servers work perfectly...

Its not BI... They would have given us as I said Visitor. Its a homemade thing I think. Not very hard once one figure out the wrp format.

Actually only new missions (1.2 and up) from BIS are coded... Try depbo on some of the old missions like bomberman and youll see the scripts. Just like the config.bin in new vehicles and weapons, that has been coded too. I though Firelord was old enough to not have been coded, but I may be wrong.

Cant you just depbo it and look? I dont have it so I dont know.

Well, it is as one could anticipate: if BIS dont give us Visitor (the real map editor), we make our own. And start cracking, hacking and mincing the game to pieces... It would be better if we at least could get the official tools to do the work.

Would you like to remap a weapon so you shoot with the nose? Other remap options could exist though. Like vocal commands. Clipping issues are not all over the maps, but on some places. Played the entire campaign, never saw a single glitch. "cartoonish NOLF graphics". Huh? Have you ever played NOLF? Have you played OFP? Do you think the military would use it as a training sim if it didnt look real (VBS)? It is as they say, real virtuality... The cross hair is realistic. Not inhibiting. In real life people cant turn on 1cm while running. This isnt quake. Run where your nose points, not the crosshair. Actually, the crosshair shouldnt even be there in the first place... Cutscenes do stop. They are there to live up the story. And can be very cool is used correctly. As I said, this isnt quake. This is real virtuality with cinematic touches.

You know, what idiot would let civilian children into a warzone? Same with the cops. What are they going to protect the nonexistent civilians agianst? Their handguns vs my T80? And why would rain be falling into a car??? The vehicle and weapons ideas are good though.

Its possible and it has been made.

Why are the files lousy? Anyway, you should have wavs also. Ive already taken up this in another old post but got no response... My question was why use .ogg, .wss, .wav when most other games only have one sound format... PS: Read the tutorial!

One can actually open the templates. But everything end up in a pile in the southwest corner, making it a bit hard to edit. But its works (I think). Is about to edit one now, only have to see if it works in MP.

You think you will survive longer by lowering a rope? HA! You have more chance of surviving when landing between some trees...

Your poem style is making me nauscious. Do you have a firewall on? If so try disabling it and see if it works. Other wise, wait until Avon Lady shows up and youll probably have an answer (Edited by Dawdler at 10:46 am on Nov. 17, 2001)

Yes, and preferably you need to prone so you can get a steady shoot. If youre lucky he will lag so much and dont notice you. Real life, I swear

It is the host.

"I spent 1200 rounds of ammo on one chopper! Thats not right... " No it does not sound right, cause I can shoot down a chopper with 20-30 rounds. One time I shoot down a A10 with 3 shilka shoots. Everything on 1.3 of course. Maybe you simply missed? You know you have to overshoot quite a lot. The AA is know to have some serious problems, its easier to shoot down a chopper with laws than an AA launcher.

"Only problem is that you have to have all the addons the host does in a MP game or you can't play the same game" Not entirerly correct. One only need them if they are USED. That means its up to the host to decide if he will let people play... If they release the SDK we will probably see a lot of crap work (like Hoelas suggestions) but we will also see good (like I44 and Op Vietnam). Its up to each to decide what to use and what to not.

They estimate 9 month until the entire mod is finished... But if they get the SDK a beta will be made within a few weeks. If BIS only could release the SDK...

Finnish I think. -Edit- No I dont think, I know -> "www.mil.fi" (Edited by Dawdler at 2:30 pm on Nov. 15, 2001)

And when someone hear your shoot your 10 secs from death... Whats the point of sniping if one have to reveal the position BEFORE one actually shoot the first shot...
