    What do you play Ofp with?

    I have ridicously old computer, it's a P3 (700MHz if I remember right) with 256MB of RAM, and 64MB GeForce 2. I played CWC campaign with default settings and had no lag at all, for the resistance campaign I think I have to put Visual Quality to 'Low' setting.. My primary computer is a 1.4GHz AMD with 1G of RAM, but it's not for playing purposes.

    I`m back

    I could use this thread, and also say hello. I have been inactive on these forums for about two years, and I haven't played OFP for about the same time. A week or two ago I bought a secondary computer (dirt cheap, 30 euros for a P3 ), installed Windows on it and now I'm addicted to OFP again.. Actually, my original OFP CWC disc was worn out or something and didn't work, so I purchased the GOTY 3 cd set (secondhand). Although I'm not sure how much time I have for hanging at the forums, I'll surely post every once in a while, and try to catch up with all the add-ons and cool stuff that has come to OFP during my 'hibernation'. As a Finn, Finnish defence forces mod is probably the first thing to get.

    Linux and Dual Processors support

    Has someone actually ran OFP on some emulator in Linux? I didn't even try, I just bought a 700MHz P3 as a secondary computer and installed W2K+OFP on it. My main computer runs Debian. I've tried to play some Windows games on WINE, but I couldn't get even Close Combat II to run smoothly.

    Bug in 1985 campaing

    Ok. Thanks anyway that you took the time to help, and thanks to the other writers in this thread. Case closed.

    Bug in 1985 campaing

    Hello! It's been a while, but now I have two computers, one of which runs Debian GNU/Linux and the other is my computer for playing games, and it runs Windows. Immediately after I got that Windows computer, I started playing OFP again. I started with the original 1985 campaign. I had a little trouble with the Guardian mission, in Dourdan. * First time I played this, the convoy just stopped there and the crew jumped out of the trucks. No idea why. * Second time, the destroyed T72 blocked the way, and they were unable to continue. They just sort of stuck there. * Third time, they drove around the city and I got to finish the mission. I don't know if anyone is interested, I just thought to bring this up. And sorry for the bad English!

    Bug in 1985 campaing

    Is that, and "the Red Hammer 1.85 Compatibility patch", two different things? Your FAQ states that one does not need to install the latter?

    Bug in 1985 campaing

    Oh, I have the GOTY version. I just put the discs in and installed, I haven't patched it at all (yet). (I bought the original OFP when it was published, and then Red Hammer and then Resistance. I noticed now that the CWC disc did not work anymore, so I purchased a second-hand GOTY set. )

    Bug in 1985 campaing

    It's been a very long time, hasn't it? Oh yes, I haven't played OFP for about one and half years. I was an active member on these boards about 2-3 years ago. Wonder if you remembered me or why did you say that?

    First two days on multiplayer

    Hi! I just got a DSL connection and I would like to try multiplayer. Can you recommend something for beginner, like some specific server (I use the in-game browser)?
  11. FallenPaladin is not with us anymore (in the forums I mean), but he sent me the final version of his "Operation Stiletto". So, ladies and gentlemen, or should I say: The Lady, and gentlemen: Operation Stiletto

Ok..  fire away... Burl  <span id='postcolor'> Many muslims feel that US started the war by invading their holy ground in Saudi-Arabia etc. As the biggest christian country in the world (?) the US should consider other ways of defeating their enemy, than bombing them, and planning to kill Saddam and so on. OK, it's stupid and naivé to think that some country would actually have some principles, I agree..

    Let's put it so that Internet is really old, but www is kind of new. If someone does not know, Internet isn't just the Web, it contains many "things" like email and news (or usenet or whatever), and the www is the "new part" that brought Internet to all the Average Joes.

    Favorite music video

    Aculaud mentioned 'Schism'.. It's cool, but I think that 'Parabol(a)' from tool is even better.. it's 10min long, still worth watching. I haven't seen many Rammstein videos (although I've seen them live twice), but I think that they were pretty cool, too. Especially 'Du riechst so gut' video.

    Guess who's coming to dinner?

    I would pick Jesus Nazarene, no doubt about that.

    Iraq strike 'would open hell's gates'

    I would like to ask all of you this little simple question: What are you ready to die for? Is it your country, your family, etc.. If you are ready to die for your country, what kind of circumstances is that? Would you like to die across the ocean in desert, fighting for The Right Thing? Or would be you rather let someone take over your country than die for it?

    Iraq strike 'would open hell's gates'

    People in US should really think about that.. And they should think, are they ready to give their own life or their family member's life, when Bush says that a war is needed?

    Predestoyed Units

    I always wreck vehicles without sound like this: 1) Put a vehicle 2) Move the vehicle to [0,0,0] (via script) 3) Set vehicles dammage to > 1 (via script) 4) Wait for a second or little more(via script) 5) Move the vehicle back to its original position And there you have it. Wrecked vehicle without explosion, smoke without fire

    Quick html/web-page question

    I think that that is beyond the scope of HTML... So you need JavaScript, CGI or PHP or so on.. I know how to do it with CGI but maybe someone with JS experiences will have easier solution..

    I see dead people

    All those things are listed in unofficial command reference, I just cant remember where you can find it. Maybe a little Google-search will help! I've used "dead bodies" in suicide bomber things.. Like, a guy lies dead on the ground, but then, *PING* he stands up and runs to you... To make the effect better, first add some damage to him, so he looks dead, and when it's time to run, set his damage to 0.
