Ah, shame it doesn't use Ia Drang, was about to put it on the GP server.

Our dual 1.6Ghz server runs OFP on one of it's CPU's. The other is allocated for OS and other services. We can run 25-30 players if we just do infantry combat, which a few of our missions are designed specifically for this sort of load, no vehicles or other lag-beasts. For games with vehicles usually 18-20 is the limit where we get a slight degradation in performance. When FPS gets below 15 on the server it means it is using 100% CPU utilization so you can check your performance online if you are the admin.

That is a shame as theres no way I can match his skill for making training exercises so realistic.

Yeah I'm still tweaking that one, I tried staggering the enemy troops but I find noone can kill them fast enough. I'll setup more scripting to detect the death of troops before the others are spawned, keeping a happy medium of performance.

Ok Gameplanet has plenty of SEB NAM missions now so I'll quit now because of run out of ideas Here are the last of my seb nam missions for multiplayer: @C (12)HiddenBase There has been high VC activity in the area, VC have been attacking then moving back into the jungle before we can work out where they are striking from. Your men are one of many patrols in the area looking for this hidden base. :No Respawn: Kegetys Follow Script: @C (12)TheVillage After destroying the hidden base VC activity has dropped a bit but there have been renewed attacks and this village is in a central location to these attacks and must be investigated for VC presence. :No Respawn: Kegetys Follow Script: @TDM (18)Duelfords US Army vs The NVA in team deathmatch action across two fords. Who will win, the well fortified US forces or the hidden camoflaged NVA? @CTF (24)MarinesVsNVA Update of Marines vs the NVA. 50cal machine gun removed as it decimated US forces quite badly and wasn't too fun. Replaced with mortars for each side which still do plenty of damage. Cross the ford with heavy jungle obscuring your crossing, take the flag and make it back. All these missions are first featured on Gameplanet before being released, look for the latest missions on opflash.gameplanet.co.nz:2302. Check WOLF site for details. Download the mp mission pack 2

Done deal, I've just put it on Gameplanet. I'll get the troops to give it a go and I'll post their feedback. Cheers Doolittle.

I have also noticed this sort of behaviour, was playing a mission where I lawed an enemy M113 and then hid in some bushes and they shot me in 2 shots. This was in complete darkness. I read an article that many games cannot achieve AI that are good enough to play vs humans and still be hard, so programmers let the AI cheat a little bit, this is true for all games as it is believed for an AI to truly beat a human it would require months of developement by the best Artificial intelligence programmers in the world. Of course it depends on the game, I think OFP programmers are pretty damn good they just need to maybe adjust the AI's detection when its dark, take into account the level of light, whether you are close enough to be detected by sound, whether you are using a weapon with a muzzle flash, many different things. Hopefully it can be fixed up

I need a script that allows a MP player to sneak up behind another player and an AddAction adds an additional action "disarm & capture". I would then like the person disarmed and captured. I'm yet to define "captured" but i'm thinking SetPos to a POW camp. (Designated marker e.g GetMarkerPos "powcamp") I would also like the possiblity of capture failing, so like a 70% chance of disarming and capturing. Lastly, I want the option only to be available (seen in menu) when the player is directly behind the target. (Less than 1 away) I cannot use KnowsAbout command as it does not work for human players, such a pitty as it makes it a hell of a lot easier. (I tested with AI).

Ok I just tried to test it, nothing happened.. his weapon didn't disappear, i tried several times, not sure where its failing as there is no error. :/

Email Kegetys and ask him, this isn't an appropriate thread for questions about unofficial addons. You can try asking the questions in one of the ADDONs sections.

Thanks, will do

Bloody hell, glad I did not try and do this myself.. Thanks for your help, I'm looking forward to see what you come up with.

Has the Omega made any other training missions? That sniper course is fantastic and is exactly what I'm looking for as far as design and content. Has he made other training simulations? Or does any other missions focus on testing skillsets? e.g The sniper test focuses on stalking, concealment etc. Are there ones that focus on pilots, black ops etc? Regards,

All Gameplanet server details are listed in my sig but there is many more helpful information at the WOLF website. http://wolf.opflash.co.nz IP: opflash.gameplanet.co.nz : 2302

I have not experienced any such issues at all. Since 1.90 (or server 1.88) performance has been fantastic. I have been stuck on 56k modem recently and still the performance is playable. On LAN I am experiencing really good performance, don't notice any delay or desync whatsoever. The person who hosts, is their machine powerful enough? Sounds very strange to me that you could experience lag on a LAN.

Carnage, I checked the text file and found the weapon names. Thanks for that I must of been looking for a long list and skipped over that small section. Thanks for the great addon, we don't generally feature addons on Gameplanet but the people need to see this thing in action. Cheers,

You have it backwards mate. You use this message as a compliment to your common sense, not a replacement for it. The messages are there to help in your decision if this player is cheating. If you notice a player able to do things he should not and he has a modified config message then you can use that as part of your decision. BIS can only help us be good admins, they can't make the decisions for us.

Great work - really well done. Can we please be provided with the weapon names to use in scripts if we wish to rearm these beautiful machines?

Since you do not play multiplayer on Gameplanet your opinion is noted, rejected, forgotten. We have plenty of admins who are on at all times of the day.

I haven't had to ban anybody benu. I see a modified island or any message other than "Modified 1.91" then I tell them to reinstall. They do it and theres no problem. The messages ARE reliable. There is no reason they should have a modified .wrp file. If they do they may not be cheating but it may cause problems in the game not just for the player but for others. I don't freak out and call them cheaters, I merely say reinstall and that error will go away.

Great to see someone finally realised if you want to live you have to find your own way out Yeah the Air Cav may choose to land at the Backup LZ if they think Tango is too hot. But the funny thing is Tango is hot from the word go, sometimes they brave it and you have all Air Cav landing and piling out of the hueys to rescue you. Glad you enjoyed it, I have a new version where the VC and NVA setup mortars and MG nests if you don't wipe them out quickly you are done for. I also have a new Jungle CTF that the players on Gameplanet were loving last night, you can download the two versions of the CTF and the new version of Pegged here.

NEW CTF MISSIONS ADDED - SEE LINK AT BOTTOM OF POST Hi I have made 3 new SEB NAM missions and would be interested in your feedback @C (8)Pegged.seb_iatrang.pbo 8 Special forces troops trapped and under constant fire, survive until Air Cav arrive. [Features real original radio chatter from vietnam war] @C (15)DeathInIaDrang.seb_iatrang.pbo This mission is based on the account of the battle of Ia Drang from the point of view of an Air Cav soldier who survived (obviously). It also features real audio from vietnam. @C (18)DeepPatrol.seb_iatrang.pbo You have been ordered to strike deep into NVA territory eliminating a number of camps, outposts, recon units until you reach the main base. The missions are zipped into one package you can download here. Update The second mission pack can be downloaded here. Includes: MarinesVsVC CTF, MarinesVsNVA CTF, Pegged V2 Edit: ADDONS Required: SEB NAM V2, Kegetys Editor Update 1.11

BIS are quite busy they do fix a lot of things, I believe they prioritise fixes that stop the game from working properly before fixes that just add extra features. The current engine does not support extra guns on tanks I think you can only have 1 main gun and an MG, if its possible to make a tank with extra guns I'd really like to see it. Currently I believe the engine only supports 1 moving gun turret. My bet is we will see these features in the next OFP title as it will use a totally new engine, most likely very similar to Oxygen 2, which is used for VBS1, (OFP uses Oxygen(1))

Lines accross screen: You appear to have a problem with your hardware drivers for your video card. Try an alternate driver, try reducing your AGP to 2x instead of 4x. If you have the latest drivers for your video card try a previous version of the driver and see if that helps. You have not said whether this problem occurs in other games, if it does and your drivers do not fix the problem then you may have a faulty video card. Fade message: Well if you crack the game what do you expect. If you wish this message to disappear buy the extra copy of OFP.
