  1. re: terrain following Take a look at the Points -> Properties Dialog. I guess the last possibility "Keep Height (fence)" is what you're looking for.

But that doesn't fix the problem of course.

    Winter maps not for resistance? is this true

At least thats how I understood Kegs remarks, AFAIK he asked them if its OK to release it and they said no. But I could have misunderstood something. I myself haven't seen a official statement about releasing modified Resitance Units/Vehicles/Island, but I wouldn't release anything like Winter Nogova (or the reskinned Hokum discussed in another thread) until I have someone from BIS or CM telling me that it's OK.

    OFPCWC= Operation Flash Point Cold War Crisis or OFP without Resistance for that matter

    Well, I certainly have no problem with this Addon at all, I only wanted to say that there _might_ be trouble ahead if Eviscarator is going to release it. He is aware of this and still thinks it is no problem, geat. I hope he is right in his judgement of the situation. I'm looking forward to the reskinned Hokums! We'll see what happens (actually its good that someone is testing out the limits of what BIS is going to accept )

    New creative labs drivers coming soon!

    </span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Quote (placebo @ July 06 2002,01)</td></tr><tr><td id="QUOTE">LOL yeah Creative aren't exactly overwhelming with their driver releases are they <!--emo&<span id='postcolor'> Yeah. What I don't get is this, why aren't the same guys who actually build the thing not able to program it properly... even worse, by updating drivers once every year it appears as if they don't even try. As opposite to NVidia, they update their drivers almost too often (if you count the "leaked" (read public betatest  ) versions) Oh well, download of the 370MB monster is finnished, lets hope the crackling is gone. Using hardware EAX without CTD is a thing I haven't even dreamed of, wish me luck, hehe  EDIT: YES! I played throu 'Ambush' without a single crackling noise (it was reproducable for me in that mission) and with Hardware acceleration and EAX enabled, no problems enountered

    Hate to crash the party, but Johnboy has a point... As long as there was only one OFP it was no problem, since allthough addons contained BIS models, you needed the game to do anything useful with it. But taking stuff out of resistance and making it available to folks who don't have resistance and giving them a chance to use them in the old OFP might be a problem... I'd ask BIS about this to avoid getting in trouble.

    I bought my SB LIVE in May 2000, and it took CL only 2 years to deliver a working driver (OK, nobody knows by now if it will fix anything *g*) I must say OUTSTANDING JOB!!!

    Anyone ever won ambush"?

    I think the key to success is the Ural with Russian reinforcements that comes in before the Tanks show up. Every Time I rpg-ed the Ural I won the mission (you have to destroy the truck while it's still moving, once the soldiers climb out it's too late).

    Difference with textures

    Some questions

    Erm, around 160 fellow modmakers in this forum and not a single answer? mhh... Ok, I've figured out part of it myself, but I'd still like to know if the name of the resolution LOD affects the handling of the model by the engine and if it is important to use certain naming conventions in the hitpoint and fire geometry LOD's. And what is the Fire geometry LOD anyway? I guess it is there for collision detection when shot at (like the geometry lod is for collision detection with the environment). But why can I specify a fire geometry lod for the Pilots view then, shouldnt it be the same detection model as for the normal view? Thats confusing, so if someone here would enlighten me it would be great.

    Some questions

    I read the posts in this forum but I'am still not sure about some things: Resolution LOD's: What difference does the name make, for instance if i have 2 LOD's one is called 1.000 and the other one 1.500. If I change the name of the second one to 3.000 how does this affect the model? Does the OFP engine switch between the LOD's based on the name, or in other words, can I 'tell' the engine with these names at which distance the LOD should be used? Fire Geometry: No Idea what this one is about at all... Geometry: OK, setting weights to single points, but is the collision Model based on this LOD? How detailed should this LOD be? And it affects rendering if I understood it correctly, so if a part of my model is outside this LOD it won't be rendered? or does it only affect rendering of models behind my model? Hitpoints: I can define single parts of the Model to be destroyed seperately? Are the names of the groups important in this LOD (besides the hitpoints for crewmembers)? General Questions: What are pins for? do I need them for the single vertices in the Landcontact and Memory LOD? If you veteran O2 users could answer some of my questions I would highly appreciate it, Thank you :o)

    Memory question

    It isn't automaticly applied by the reload time? Bummer, I thought it would because I haven't found any parameter for this. I planed to use that animation for a minigun...

    I r not happy

    I really don't see how a Resistance Boycot could force BIS to release the tools earlier to the public. If anything it would make the public release of them even more uncertain IMO, because why bothering giving people something for a game BIS doesn't make money with (its a cold world we live in, isn't it?  ) ? For me it is fun to work on Addons, but unfortunately it doesn't pay the rent, which means I only have a limited amount of time to spend on it. I'm sure this is true for most of the people who make addons and this is the main reason why we don't see many new Islands for instance, because building a good one is extremely time consuming. Give it a try, build a 200m long road with WRPEdit and tell me how much time you needed to do it (or after wich time you lost patience  )
