I tried to search this forum for an answer, I really did ;-) Finished the Geomtry Lod of my chopper and the overall weight is nicely centered in the middle, right under the main rotor: It flies allright but when hovering at zero speed and doing an axis-turn left or right (X or C on my keyboard) the nose tilts down badly instead of staying horizontal. The turn itself looks like a jojo (up and down). I tried to shift the weight more backwards but that didnt change a thing. Anyone has a clue?

Solved it! Thanks for your support!

The point is that i am scripting serveral crash situations in the addon itself where the vehicle is replaced by a crashed version. You can imagine I dont want all clients (players) do this. Is there a more easy way to find that workaround. That would be helpfull

Thanks HawkinsDaFin - that's what I use for editing too. But for this I want the AddOn scripts independantly check if they are running locally on a server (dedi), and if not : exit. But again, thanks for your reply!

I searched the forum but coulnd find a proper anwer to my question: Building an AddOn in which I want a script to run on the Server only (Multiplayer) and not on any client. Some how I am lost here (or spent too much time on the AddOn) but I could use some help on this. How do I determine if the script is running on the server only?

Allright, i was able to change the point of view of the pilot's internal cam by adding a point in the memory LOD called driverview. But still it is looking straight forward, and I really want that particular view to be be straight down. Any hints?

Made an optics model and it works fine for the pilot when he presses "V". The config.cpp: driverOpticsColor[]={}; driverOpticsModel = "\chopper\Models\optics.p3d"; class ViewOptics { initAngleX=0; minAngleX=-30; maxAngleX=30; initAngleY=0; minAngleY=-86; maxAngleY=86; initFov=0.1; minFov=0.03; maxFov=1.2; }; The only problem is that the view is oriented from the pilotseat and I want it oriented straight down from the bottom of the heli. To make it short: how do I make the optics look straight down? Any good tips on getting this working?

We started our dedi-server but I noticed that other servers can check on large ogg files and kick those players etc etc. Please reply with suggestions on how to config our server to make it as pleasant as possible.

Anyone have an idea on how to make a number integer in ofp. Or at least a number with no more than 2 decimals?

Sounds really great RN Malboeuf! Where can I check this out?

Is there a way to prevent players to connect with huge amounts of customized sound files? I noticed some dedi-server did check this, I would like to know how.... Anybody ?

Yeah, lets try that. mismo@planet.nl

Yep, in the ofp directory. >If you can answer all this with yes, then please descript how you set >up the server. Uploaded all Windows directories, renamed Operation Flashpoint to ofp, got 191c Linux server. Executed the server-1.91c.shar thingy. Type ./server to check if it came back with anything. Running ./ofpserver start only gets into a loop because "server died". Only point that I'm not sure about is 1a. On some newer verions of Linux (this was reported for RedHat 9 and Gentoo linux 2.4.20) the NSCD deamon must be installed to run OFP server successfully. Caching of DNS would be sufficient. Server doesnt run a DNS server, but it's able to resolve everything.
