About the RedHammer 1.90 update problem: It says on the official info: Required: ORIGINAL VERSION OF OPERATION FLASHPOINT: CWC with Gold Upgrade (or Gold Version) and OPERATION FLASHPOINT: RESISTANCE. Patch 1.90 installed. They tell you to install the 1.90 patch BEFORE the RedHammer update! Don't you think that they should amend this as from what I have heard, you need to install the RedHammer patch BEFORE the 1.90 patch. I have tried this and had problems: http://www.flashpoint1985.com/cgi-bin....t=24229 The thread was locked so I cannot add this to my message so I am sorry if this has been mentioned in this thread but I have not got the time to look through 6 pages

I have installed the 1.90 update, the CWC update but when I try and install the RedHammer update I receive: 'Error found in file CAMPAIGNS/redhammer.pbo (00000000!=000000001)' I did have all the required programs installed: CWC, Gold Upgrade and Resistance, up to 1.85. Is it because I have already installed the RedHammer compatability patch for when 1.85 came out and I do not need the one for 1.90?

lol, yep

My games used to stutter in W2k every couple of seconds until I disabled my scanner (which is connected by parallel), now the games run fine. If you are having this problem and you have any extra peripherals plugged in try disabling them in the device manager and see if it helps. my original thread: http://www.flashpoint1985.com/cgi-bin....3;t=807

DestroyerX: I think the command is different in Win2K but I can't remember what to type in the run menu If anyone can help...

It is a well documented problem that Logitech are crap when it comes to sorting out this o so simple problem. Using the Logitech software with games renders the mouse wheel almost unusable as it seems to skip weapons when trying to select them with said wheel. In Half-Life and Tribes 2 I have this problem. Although with OFP it is fine in the action menu, I don't know why. If you have this problem then the only way I know to fix it is to hit ctrl-alt-del in windows and close down 'EM_EXEC.exe'. This is a work-around method and is really annoying as most of the time I forget to do this before starting a game. You could just not install the Logitech software, but then you won't have access to the thumb button On Logitech's site there is an apparent registry entry fix but this does not work for me as I have Win2K. I don't know whether it works on any other OS.

Hey thanks that solved half my problem. The weapon has the magazine loaded. But I still need to press the weapon change key before I can fire it. Any ideas?

I spawn a civilian with a Beretta but the gun is empty. So I spawn the civilian with a Beretta magazine but the magazine is not preloaded into the gun. After 'acquiring' his weapon, pressing the reload button has no effect until I press the weapon change key (the one to swap between firing modes and hand grenades). After I have pressed this key I can then reload the gun. Is this a bug? How to you force the gun to have ammo already inside it?

hey cheers hoz, worked like a dream

If you BIS guys read this I'm sure you've heard it plenty of times, but the createUnit command really needs sorting out. 1. cannot give the units a name in the script (not including the init field option) 2. need an existing group to spawn In the editor it is the most basic thing to create a unit without a group, so why not using scripts which should technically be more powerful??

lol to everyone Ive noticed the bandwidth has exceeded on that page, jesus h christ! And skulls you are right, why didnt I put her next to me. that wouldve been a happy ending I think I might do a sequel. I'll put more effort into the script next time.

Heh, thanks Kep. I say, make up your own ending

rofl no marriage but... I was going to have this big car chase and a shoot out at the end and tanks and planes and stuff... but I couldn't be arsed!

I've recently bought Resistance and I am pleased in the way that it has progressed from the original game. Unfortunately the developers have taken it upon themselves to upgrade the graphics to a point where the recommended specs are far beyond that of the original. In OFP I could run at 1024x768x32, with maximum detail and with smooth performance, albeit with slight stutters every now and then. In Resistance with the exact same graphics options (I toned down the detail levels to match that of the original game) the performance is a lot worse. I notice that the game stutters badly, especially when flying over the landscape in a helicopter as the computer tries to draw every tree. Even with all the detail turned down to minimum, performance is still much worse than in OFP. It is pretty smooth when running around on foot with little action, but when entering a town with enemies shooting at you the fps drops a lot. It seems as if certain graphics have been upgraded and cannot be returned to their original quality. I am running the game on a 1.2ghz Athlon, 256 DDR ram, GF2 Ultra 64mb. I have a friend who runs Resistance on a 1.9ghz, 1024 DDR ram, GF3 Ti and the game runs fine on his at 1280x1024x32. Are these specs really what is required to run Resistance at a decent frame rate, seems pretty stupid to me...

AvonLady, I did try the DirectX tweak that tells you to move the DirectDraw slider all the way to the left,but it didn't work. I also have DirecX 8a. All my drivers are the latest version (as far as I know, I updated evrything fairly recently.) SBlive drivers are from the original CD that came with the comp though. I'll try updating them and see what happens.
