    Well, my brother and I have both gotten the voice chat to work with direct speaking. It's cool, and I again marvel at the detail put into the game, but it's useless because it does not work at distances. We cannot get any of the other channels (global, team, et cetera) to work with voice chat. Why?

    What is Directplay? Is that the built-in program as opposed to Gamespy?

    I have also been suspiciously eying my sound card. I know that I cannot record anything while another program is using sound, and that I only have a few channels.

    Let me get this straight. When playing version one point four six, you first switch to direct speaking, then hit capitals lock, and then simply talk away (assuming that your microphone is set up)? Or do you have to hit the chat key, say whatever you want to say, and then hit enter? Someone please describe the exact process. Talk to me as you would an idiot, for I know nothing of this! My experiments have led me nowhere.

    There is no difference in the soldier damage in Operation Flashpoint version one point four six and the Resistance demo. I know for a fact that soldiers can only take one hit in the chest (with very rare exceptions that I cannot seem to figure out - I think they are bugs), or one hit in the head.

    I want to remove the hand grenades of all units on the map. So I made a trigger that is activated by anyone and has a radius of ten thousand meters. Now, you are usually supposed to put

    this removemagazines "handgrenade"

    in a soldier's init line to remove hand grenades. So I put

    "_x removemagazines "handgrenade"" foreach thislist

    in the "on activation" line of the trigger. The problem is that the trigger doesn't like the double quotation mark at the end of "handgrenade." I can't remove the quotation marks from around "handgrenade," either. How do I go about fixing this?

    Aha!  Thank you, Doolittle...I would never have found that problem.  How do you create a manned vehicle?  Would creating an empty vehicle and a separate crew and inserting the crew via init line work?  How do you name a created vehicle?

    [edit]I just tried it. Even using "soldierwb," it doesn't work.  Would you please type out the exact script which you use to create a soldier?  I believe that my problem lies in my grouping method.  I have no clue what I am doing here.[/edit]

    Here's a little update. I gave up on mission editing for a while, and now I am trying again. I still cannot create a unit, even when I am trying to create it into an existing group with a unit already in it. This is exasperating. Why isn't there a manual? I did exactly what the stinking command reference said!

    I made a marker called "sod" and a trigger activated by Radio Alpha, and put this in the "on activation" line of the trigger:

    "uh60mg" createunit [getmarkerpos "sod", groupalpha]

    I then made a soldier and put this in his init line:

    this setgroupid ["alpha","groupcolor3"]

    However, the trigger did not work. So, I found out what "groupcolor3" is by placing a unit (let's call him "Bill") in another group on the same side as the soldier in the group whose color is "groupcolor3" (we'll call this guy "Bobby"). I played as Bill, and shot Bobby in the leg. Bobby said "Alpha Black One, cease fire!" When he said this, it called him "Alpha Green One." Thus, "groupcolor3" is green.

    Then I changed the trigger to

    "uh60mg" createunit [getmarkerpos "sod", groupalphagreen]

    It still didn't work. Can anyone help me? Does anyone even follow me?

    Okay, I hate the way the helicopter unload and load waypoints work. I always have problems with it, so maybe I can help you with some of my solutions.

    First of all, if you took an empty helicopter, named it, and placed two pilots in it with the "moveindriver" command, then you are fucked. There's nothing you can do. I advise you to delete the empty helicopter and the two pilots, and create a manned helicopter instead. It sucks, I know, but oh well.

    Now, if it isn't an empty helicopter, then I don't know what the problem is. I suggest trying to put an invisible H where you want it to land, but that shouldn't fix the problem.

    Is the sniper a player, or is he an artificial intelligence? If he is an artificial intelligence, is he in the player's squad?

    Hmm?  Oh, screwing around, the usual idiotic stuff... You know.  Little Blue Assassin grins.  You should see us at Through the Looking Glass, the Thief forum I attend.  Thief is an excellent (albiet rather old) game, but it has a very buggy physics engine.  We come up with so many dumb tricks there.  Recently I discovered that by leaning against a door and swinging the mouse sharply to one side, you will be hurled away from the door.  You can use this to slam into enemies and hurt them.  Another person discovered that if you land on an artificial intelligence, you will survive a fall of any height.  One of the objects in the game is an egg that you can carry which will, when thrown, create a small demon that will destroy itself upon enemies.  People take an egg, climb to the highest point in a map, and jump.  Right before they smack into the ground, they drop the egg straight down and land on the artificial intelligence, so that they survive.  We call it "frogbeasting."

    Of course, Operation Flashpoint isn't buggy like that, but we have our fair share of funny things to do, such as tank flying.
