HK (HunterKiller)

As with Lt_Damage can anyone please post their opinions on LINUX OFP server, we would like to move across to a LINUX based server for obvious reasons (OS Overhead etc), BUT b4 we do we need some feedback, i know i know, someone else do the donkey work but we are running a pretty busy server and don't have time to do the spadework ourselves, thanks and BIG RESPECT to BIS for giving us this........

Plan "B" works well for me. Run directly down the hill from your start point skirting the forest, cross the road between the two small forests (be carefull crossing that open area sometimes you get spotted, so best take a wide berth there), go through the second one and follow the road that leads to the rear of the small town with the 4 Tanks, BMP and trucks. Now head to the rearmost building with your small group, go prone and tell the others to "Hold Fire", crawl until your close, if you time it just right you can see all 5 men nearish the BMP at one time (From here you should be looking up the hill towards the castle from the other side of the small town). Shoot all 5 men and immediately order 2 men in T80, 2 in one of the T72's and one each in the other 2 T72's, order them "Weapons Free" and they will take out most of the men running down the hill from the relative safety of the tanks, also immediately call your remaining men into camp and get them in the other Vehicles, ie 1 in BMP, 1 more in a T72, 1 in one each of the repair trucks, and you take the ammo truck (make sure all the men coming down the hill are dead first before entering trucks!!, now take the RPG from the dead patrolling soldier (if you didn't have one already) and three rounds for it, the chopper should be buzzing about by this time, so order your men "Aware" and let them take care of the Spetsnaz (best to tell the guys in the trucks to move in some sort of cover to avoid them getting killed). Move towards the road between the two small forests you crossed earlier and wait for the T72 and BMP (leave your men behind), as soon as they are in sight, blow the BMP then the T72, job done (sometimes you get really lucky and the T72 doesn't actually blow up, it just kills the men inside when you hit it with the 2 rpg's, so now you have another T72 which you repair on the way past, and move a man into). Get your rear back to the camp/small town get in the ammo truck, go up the hill collecting all the weapons/equipment you can (also you can put some weapons in the BMP) and head to the end of the mission with your men in tow.

If you have a truck, then can't you put the weapons in the back?, i shot the Ruskies and left for the Resistance camp and didn't realise at that point you could place weapons into the back of trucks and some other vehicles, but i do now and may redo the campaign.

From your start position head round to your left, it's pretty safe to leg it all the way as your in cover behind a small hill, run until you are more or less even with the leftmost part of the buildings, crawl towards the buildings till you see the point where the two 2 man patrols almost meet each other (sorry i don't have the game on this pc, so i can't tell you if your N,S, SE, W etc, but lets say you were facing NORTH at your start position, you would be aiming to head North West and end up near to the North West corner of the building/wall), now, you can get to within maybe 100 to 150 metres of them and there is a small bush you can use to observe their pattern, wait until they both move and have their backs to you, now get up and leg it to the wall, hit the dirt and crawl in through the gap in the wall (the gap i mean is the one that would be furthest from your start position. ie from example above you would be at the North wall, and you should see a couple of ammo crates near to it), crawl near the back beside the woodpiles and you should cut to a mini cutscene. Now you have to wait till the patrols do their thing again, leave by exactly the same route you came in by, leg it back to your start position and continue onwards to the civilian in the car, job done. Hope this helps sorry i can't give you compass directions, but if you use my bracketed example you should get the idea

Try playing multiplayer against "Real" peeps, that should help you rediscover how to crawl about and not run in like a headless chicken..........

If your talking about the one in Resistance where you take the base then have to defend it against tanks, then the 3 choppers come, all you can do is, take out the tanks and bug out, what i did was told one man to get in bmp and one in t72, sent them to where the green mark is on the map, north i think off top of my head, this saves the tank and bmp for use in future missions. Once they are there tell them to disembark and hide in the trees, as soon as you know the choppers are coming run like hell to the evac point where your armour is. If you feel brave and are a very good shot with an RPG you could always try and take the choppers down, dunno what would happen because i aint that good a shot and only tried it the one time...........

I agree with Avon here, i posted on resitance forum a troubleshooting problem, which was indeed, probably correctly moved to troubleshooting, but i thought it more topical in resistance as it was a resistance problem, you said you don't want the workload moderators, well you just caused yourself some extra workload didn't you.....

I left my men at the start position and told them to get down, then made my way round to the right, went all the way in to the church/graveyard which is next to where the hostages are, i then told my men to move round to where the truk and jeep are and told them to get in teh truk and wait, killed the guards and the patrol, once i did that i went to the rpg soldier and took his rpg, then went to the ammo crate and awaited the tank and 2 bmp's, told my men in truk to move back to the start position. Wasted the first bmp and got lucky with the tank, i hit it twice with rpg's and it never blew up, it only killed the men inside, i then blew up the second bmp and got in the t72(it gave some message about checking my map), from there i rearmed with an rpg and some ak rounds and a grenade, went to the base got out of tank, blew up bmp then back in tank and killed the men at my lesuire....

Sorry lads but it can't be an addon unless it's an official one thats causing it, when i did a complete reinstall of the entire game from 1.0 through 1.46 and to Resistance i never put ANY unofficial addons in simply because there is now enough good stuff present as far as i'm concerned, if any VERY good addons do come out i may add them.

Ok tonight i was helping a squad member test some of his triggers etc in a mish he is making for Resistance. Anyways, i was up on a roof and looking down taking out some targets, i reloaded my BIZON, and all of a sudden it was filled with 30 rounds of AK-74 ammo, and even sounded like an AK when i fired. Onscreen i still had BIZON in my hands, i reloaded just to try and get rid of it and suddenly the BIZON was loaded with a satchel charge as ammo, this is not bullshit it happened, reloaded again and it reverted to AK ammo once more, i had at the time about 5 clips of BIZON ammo on me, so i have no idea where the AK ammo came from. I was alone on top of a roof at least 100 metres from the nearest body. Anybody else noted this very strange behaviour? I will give it another try to see if i can get it to happen again, if any of the BIS staff read this just post and i can arrange for the mission to be sent to you...

Sorry Avon, your right it may not be so clear what to do for everyone out there, ok when you get to the Driverheaven webpage go to the Forum quicklinks and look for drivers that suit your card, in my case ATI Radeon, (at present they are moving to a new server sorry), once there you will find the drivers. I downloaded the "Omega Plutonium" set, there is also a very good tutorial on how to completely remove your old drivers, registry keys and all (if you are in any way troubled with doing stuff in your registry just make a backup first, but i did it without one and it worked fine, just follow the readme to the letter), i would post the direct links but even a little bit of savvy should help you find the correct place, hope this helps a bit......

Worked fine for me, i just tested it and no more sloooooooooow splashscreens, not that i'd notice i use the nosplash usually, but all else loads faster ie getting to the continue and start the mission in singleplayer etc, worth a try anyway folks.

If you get these drivers i have for my radeon there is a clocking proggy that comes with it, there is also an artifact tester that lets you know if you've gone to far with the overclock, i would strongly advise against doing this timmy m8, UNLESS a: you can afford to cook your video card and buy a new one, and b: you have VERY good cooling in your system, i run on intake 80 mm case fan, one outtake 80 mm case fan, a hommade cooling card with an 80mm fan built onto a puncture board (kinda like the stuff PCI cards are made from, you can buy it from radioshack, i'm guessing your american right?) that sits in an empty PCI slot next to the Video card, the card also has cooling fins i placed across all the RAM chips my system runs at about 100 to 110 degrees f on full load, one thing i never understood is why card manufacturers insist on building cards upsides down, HEAT rises and therefore will not escape very well from the RAM on the card etc if you have an ATX case...anyways a bit off topic there sorry, email me at hk@dvsquad.com and i'll go into more detail if you like. Oh and i have NO IDEA what Autodropdown does sorry

Yeah thanks for that Pit , i wanted to see if anybody else has seen it happen, but hey i'll take your advice.........

My settings are as follows: HWT&L Cockpits set at 64x64(never in flight any way and don't have time to admire how nice they might be anyway) Objects 2048x2048 Landscape 2048x2048 Special effects 64x64 Autodropdown x4 this gives me a benchmark of 2768 Terrain Detail - NormalVisual Quality - 7 Frame Rate - 15 Visibility - 900 and set at 1024x768x32 @ 70hz refresh game runs pretty smooth like this... I run a T'Bird 1.33 on an Aopen AK73 proA MOBO with 768mb SDRAM, a Radeon 8500LE (made by supergrace) o'clocked to 252 memory clock and 281 engine clock on Omega Plutonium x1.1.02 driver set

My textures are still flashing in Resistance 1.75 with HWT&L setting on, i have upgraded my drivers to the Catalyst 7.72 version, so is it a game problem or a driver problem? , sorry if this is not in the correct place (i thought maybe troubleshooting, but this seemed more likely place),

It appeared to be a resistance problem thats why i posted it there, apologies, u obnoxious so and so (sorry no jokes allowed eh). Speeedy you know what you can do.... Here is a fix i found, Driver heaven , it not only sorted the flashing textures in HWT&L, but also a few problems i had in other games *coughs*, ok occasionally i fall from grace and play something else, VERY occasionally i might add...., i also posted it in a similiar topic in resistance that you never moved to here JOB done.....

OK i had this same problem and i already made a similiar post to yours m8, i happened across some drivers while i was looking in another forum for another game *coughs*, anyway these drivers solved the problem in that other game, and so far have been good with Resistance in HWT&L mode no more flashing, try here m8, see if it works for you and post yer results for others Driver heaven

I don't know about anybody else, but there is a difference between the islands in SP and MP, SP islands have a lot more detail at full res than they do on MP, i looked at my own island that i am making and was totally blown away by the improvements, i looked in editor and messed about, but when i went to multiplayer it was much and such the same as it had been on 1.46.....Anyway thank you BIS i love it anyway
