Lt_Damage

What I would like to know is how do I make a script that kills or punishes an individial that shoots at people in a safezone? It's all very well to stop them entering but I still get people who think they are funny and like to snipe into the safezone :/ Any ideas?

Depends what you are trying to accomplish, we thought you wanted a safezone the enemy could not enter. If you make the trigger as described, and have On Activation : West Repeatedly then have "_X setdammage 1" foreach thislist etc it will definately work. Why you are having it set to "NOT PRESENT" and making it when they Leave an area I have no idea, but it doesn't fit in with your original request for a safezone.

Well, SGT KAMAI, not sure how this lead to insults about "masculinity". Consider the invitation revoked, unfortunately at first I thought you were just misguided about the fun that can be had with coops. But now I see you are misguided in general. I can see the Marines still likes em dumb

This has been attributed to lag, the cannon fires but actually only 1 sabot/heat round impacts target.

Sure this isn't a cool new feature? Stealth choppers?

Yes this problem happened for me on 24_C_PARATROOPERS, I fixed it by deleting the aircraft and also the pilot, and adding a new empty unit and new pilot, for some reason this resolved the issue.

That is very helpful Chris It is always great to have two ways of doing something, just in case one conflicts with something else:D

Jump on to Gameplanet's Dedicated Server and the "Hunt for Captain Willard" is on there, it kinda sux if u ask me though. There are more coops featuring Attack choppers on there but I don't recall the names right now. I will also be adding some missions that feature a lot more aircraft as mostly the missions there had been mainly featuring ground forces. Regards,

Well if the game could support 160 real players we could eliminate respawn but that would be lame. And as far as going rambo...well some of us 1337 players like our kill to death ratio to be low. i am not happy if i die once! <span id='postcolor'> Wow, your attitude is only exceeded by your ego. All you "l33t" guys think you know how it's done, sorry none of you are wrong, OFP has several hundred different ways for missions to be played and CTF and COOP are merely two of them. CTF is fantastic for developing teamwork and strategy, there is respawn so you lack the thrill of trying to stay alive that you get from playing a well made coop. It can be challanging either way and it is more important what you as the player takes out of a mission than being "l33t" and whatever the hell else you CS-now-OFP players do. And SGT KAMAI USMC I'd like to extend an invitation to Gameplanet's Server and I'd like you try and beat the coops on there without taking a beating If you are coming on our server leave your "l33tist" attitude at the door for some serious education.

ROFL Make sure it's the short one noone likes Select Multiplayer menu of the OFP 1.60 and select "Remote" from the top right. (Or is it called Internet now? bah) then the browser will start downloading a list of servers. Make sure you run the 1.60 executable not the original 1.46. You must be aware that when updating to 1.60 your shortcuts on your desktop are not updated and still open the old 1.46 executable. You will need to create a new shortcut to the OFPMPTEST.EXE located in your \OFP\ folder. Then the server browser should work fine Maybe we'll see you on Gameplanet's Dedicated OFP Server Regards,

Yeah, I have been making a Human vs Human coop.. damn it's difficult because you have to plan for every action a human player will take and it's hard to keep the storyline. Almost done though, I should have a couple out soon.

You can also try uninstalling those via4in1 drivers, as i just started receiving that same problem and that's the only thing I have changed. Knew those drivers were nothing but trouble..

None of these things are really copyrightable, so if another, larger game company gets it right the first time, with a similar formula, better marketing, and better support for administrators, I'll probably close up shop and move on Just my 2c though :-).<span id='postcolor'> Not exactly loyal fan material are you? Well there are plenty of diehard OFP fan's so it's not really a great loss. I believe like any game OFP has some bizarre quirks but would you like to give an example of a game that even comes close to it? Personally my money is on BIS for delivering the goods, they have the skill, the knowhow, and most important of all they are pretty dedicated to having a good product, not just moneyspinners.

Rage_Frost, Might I suggest if you are going to send emails directly to BIS, also post in the forums as it serves the other players to make them aware of bugs and the fixes for them. You sound quite happy that the developer let's your admin email him, I am happy for you, I hope it makes you feel complete. As for voice over net I was aware of one way to disable it but it caused very slow connection times. (I should of done it anyway as I'm getting very slow connection times with 1.60 anyway)

Post the instructions from the readme and we'll translate them to basic picture-language for you Just make sure you install .PBO files in the ADDONS directory under OFP... And don't touch anything else, and don't delete anything, and don't touch your memory management settings

details can be found in the Gameplanet Forums

Yeah well that is just the general chaos that evolves from having a server with no admin, can't really be helped. It's player's justice in those circumstances but it doesn't really benefit gameplay a great deal

But in no way well the servers be full like they were before. <span id='postcolor'> </span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Quote </td></tr><tr><td id="QUOTE">lol look at are Jedi Knight 2 server it's packed and its hard as hell to even get into the server cause it's too full half the time. and also are counter strike servers are more then always full never empty. in fact right now we have are main server full and are second server has room for 2 people before its packed.<span id='postcolor'> You are talking about the CS-KIDS. The little 12 year olds or at least 12-17 Age group that asks mummy if they can play some internet before they get read a story. Operation Flashpoint appeals to an older generation who does not have 24/7 to spend playing it. Hell, I wish I did. But I have to work, I admin a server and I can't even spend that much time. If having the server full only at certain times is the price I have to pay to play with a mature age group then that's cool with me. </span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Quote </td></tr><tr><td id="QUOTE">Like I said in my first post on this on this topic. People were not happy with being beta testers all over again for a game that had no major problems with it "OFP" not restiance.<span id='postcolor'> So If I look through the forums I will see no posts from you asking for improvements? I will see nothing but praise for a flawless game that need not ever be patched again? BIS don't just decide they wanna make a new patch for no reason. They are dutifully responding to the requests of their fans and addressing concerns with the product that we have laid before them. Whether you are tired of beta testing is irrelevant. You simply cannot improve a product without this process. </span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Quote </td></tr><tr><td id="QUOTE"> Myself as a map maker looks as this as someone dropped the ball on us. Their is no way I well fix 200 MP maps that I have made because of this ever. I dont have the time for stuff like that. And especially after my maps were tested and complete before all this.<span id='postcolor'> This problem has been resolved in one of the updates that you are so sick of beta testing There is no need to update your missions. </span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Quote </td></tr><tr><td id="QUOTE"> Also the in game voice thing it was giving to us why take it away from us. and for the people that bitch about it servers can turn off voice it's no big deal if you hate it so much just a little change in the server file. I hear people saying battle com rw etc etc are great. but look at this way people want to play a game and have fun they do not want to set up another program for voice etc and mess around with that junk while trying to play the game. The less work involved say putting a game CD in and playing it is about how far people well go. Also someone stated in game voice sucked cause noobs would abuse it. Well how hard would it be really and think about it for BIS to put a players name on the person talking in the message window. Or even better yet when you hit your I key during the game and see the people in the lobby waiting for the next game put a little voice sing by the person talking by their ping time or somewhere else near by it. <span id='postcolor'> Some of your post does not make sense, you are well aware of why voice was not implemented in the netcode beta test. Suma advised that this feature will be implemented later. We would of got the netcode a lot later if they had to design voice over sockets, before it was running using the Directplay, now they will need to license someone elses voice over net engine or create their own from scratch.. Give them a break, they are not taking anything from you. It is simply not implemented in this beta netcode test. I was not aware of a way to disable voice for dedicated servers in 1.46, I kept asking for one as that problem was plagueing me for a long time, and I am very glad to be rid of it in version 1.60. It is admirable that you are concerned about the OFP MP community and value your regulars, this is a period of change and once things are stable again you can expect a more consistant flow of players onto the dedicated servers.

Wow.. a lot of strange posts in this thread.. 1) OFP is the best game I've ever played. I don't even play any other games now that I own it. Whatever BIS does in the future they have already done something they can look back at with pride. Well done. Special thanks to Suma for all his patience listening to our suggestions. 2) Resistance is being looked forward to by thousands of OFP fans around the world. For those who have helped BIS improve the netcode, thankyou, as they have used your feedback to make the improvements everybody is asking for. 3) Ingame voice means nothing to me, it has nothing to do with the gameplay that I enjoy. I actually am very happy that ingame voice is not supported as it was impossible to manage players abusing it. 4) People who compare OFP to games like SOF2 are morons. I would normally not bother to answer them but have you seen the missions involved in those games? Is the landscape ANYWHERE near as big? Do the bodies simply fade away immediately? Ask the developers of SOF2 why they would expect their to be less lag in their game. They will tell you "because our levels are smaller, missions are less complex, bodies disappear almost immediately, we have no vehicles, our game sucks" Well if they were honest that's what they would say anyway. BIS has provided the best support I have ever seen from a game company. The reason our fans are so dedicated is because when there is a gameplay issue, we know we don't have to live with it, we know it will be fixed, this gives us an expanded idea of the lifetime of the product, basically we know it will be more fun, longer, then any other game we have. SOFII is the most bugged game I have ever played, and Raven Software have not even bothered to release a patch yet, simply blamed all the problems on the player's hardware specs. Looing forward to all future creations from BIS. Great work. Regards,

Can you send me an email on how to do it dude... nanonic@optushome.com.au It's just in description.ext is it?

Actually I can't really see where you are coming from.. if you TK'd him back on my server I'd simply kick you aswell.. because you'd both be morons. Simply report the problem, if he TK'd he will be kicked, simple as that. You are part of the problem more than the solution mate. Sorry.

He was doing both, using the forums correctly is the best way to get your problem solved. Trying to take advantage of the traffic flow of the GENERAL forum isn't going to help. The people don't go there to solve your problems.

I'll upgrade all my missions to include timeleft.. Arghh i've just been lazy i guess, now I have to do 15 all at once. Don't think i'll have time to upgrade all of GP's 200 missions.. eek.

Sounds good, on my server you say? lol.. shows how much info I have.. Ummm, I heard DarkPhantom going on about something, problem is I don't know much more details, and what mission is good enough to play all day?? I think I could design a mission that was based on an entire Island with so many objectives it'd take all day but not sure if that would be fun.. I'll talk to DP and get some details and post here later And if this is the type of stuff you want let me know. Always happy to add new things to the server. Btw swooper, I can be contacted more quickly via ICQ or the GP forums accessed from http://www.opflash.co.nz

I think it is definately worth getting a copy. I have two copies of OFP as when I get a second computer my roommate wants to play. I think I've already discovered this doesn't work but I'll bounce the idea around anyway.. If you create a seperate squad.xml just for him and store it in another directory in the same webspace he might be able to have a seperate profile..
