    FLIR in Armed Assault?

    Oops, I guess I should've actually watched the video, doh. I assumed it was Arma and the Mapfact Apache. Nice trick, I tried the same with a bright hidden selection so it can be disabled when player isn't in a vehicle etc. Would be a nice feature for a mod but a lot of work to add to all units and vehicles.

    FLIR in Armed Assault?

    Yes and no. To get that effect you screw up the lightning with setAperture command: http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/setAperture

    Operation Flashpoint Extreme Crash

    What driver file name does it say on the blue screen? Try disabling or enabling audio hardware acceleration from the ingame audio options.

    Should I Get OFP?

    Most importantly, does it have Resistance? You'll need that for almost all mods, addons and missions. Also to play online.

    What ARMA is missing.

    There was plenty of pvp missions for OFP that didn't have respawn and I'm sure there's some for ArmA too. It's just not a very popular game type on public servers for obvious reasons. The ones with objectives other than kill or be killed are usually called Attack & Defend (A&D) or somewhat confusingly as PvP coops.

    can i use WGL with Y2k3?

    WGL has modified visual effects, sounds and animations by default. There's also alternative configs for some better looking units, see @wgl5\bin\models_info.txt

    East Detection command?

    You can use list triggername to get a pointer to the array of units which match its condition and count them with count. 1. Name trigger someTrig 2. Access it from a script: <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">_l = list someTrig #check ~5 ?count _l<1: hint "Not detected."; goto "check" hint "Detected!" goto "check" Note that _l is a pointer to the trigger's array, not a copy of it so you don't need to refresh it. To make a copy of an array use +: newArr = +existingArr

    ARMA Scoring System....

    Why play BF2? Just because he's trying to prove a point? Because in BF2 it doesn't matter whether you open fire whenever you want. He was asking if I was a nut job for merely mentioning that it is not always the best option to immidiately open fire at the first glimpse of an enemy, a course of action often favored even by some very good* players. *(good as in can rambo effectively, not neccessarily as in doesn't get his supposed team mates wasted just to get a few points more than them). As for serving your country, what country are we talking about here? I can tell you it's not England, didn't even know you had to serve there. No offense, but you obviously ain't good enough to play in a competitive match then? I'd be completely useless in a professional football match. True but irrelevant. Taking real sports seriously is very different, it's something I understand and respect. Getting all worked up about being robbed a few meaningless invidual points in a team-based mil shooter computer game not. Btw mate... It says your an Advanced Member maybe you should act like it? It only means post count over 800 or so. I guess I could ask for this account to be closed and then create a new one so I could act like I want again.

    ARMA Scoring System....

    Well, it's a very integral part of the game because it's all about the betting, my point was that it was about playing for nothing basicly. I don't even remember who of us won, only that it was fun. Let me put it this way, when I play football with friends, we often do keep scores but never invidual scores. When the other side is losing, someone from the winning side will usually join it to keep the game fun for both sides, thus, it's not about winning at any cost and getting the highest score.

    ARMA Scoring System....

    "Discipline of fire? Go join the real army ffs." Go play BF2 ffs. I already did the mandatory military service and found it to be quite boring compared to playing games but if my country will ever be attacked, I'll be there even if it was a choice. "Some people play games to win!" That was my point, I find it sad. Some people play computer games to have fun and to relax with friends, not to compete seriously in some retarted nerd-off. And to [CAVE]guerilla: I've actually played poker with fake money and it was rather fun. Many professional poker players don't do it for the money either.

    ARMA Scoring System....

    If some meaningless numbers in a computer game are really that important to your ego, keep your own tally and let others know how many kills you really got every now and then. Or perhaps just uninstall the game and rethink your life. In my opinnion, scores only encourage exploiting the system and doing stupid stuff, such as having no discipline of fire in coops and thus fucking up the mission, destroying empty vehicles, "camping" in a way that doesn't help the team at all etc.

    Which mod should i use?!?!

    What the people before were trying to say is that you just can't have them both active simultaneously because they both have their own modified main configs and whatnot. You can have both installed and choose which to play: 1. With a launcher, such as Kegetys' OFP launcher or OFP watch 2. or different shortcuts with mod parameters: flashpointresistance.exe -mod=@wgl5 flashpointresistance.exe -mod=@ffur I'd recommend WGL but I won't because, to be honest I only tried FFUR once back in 2004 or so. Besides, it depends what you want since they're very different, and not only in what they do but also how they came to be.

    Virtualization

    I think OFP uses also directinput and directsound so OpenGL support would only go so far anyways (it's just a gfx API).

    OFP:BHD MOD

    Uhm there doesn't seem to be any meaningful specs (cpu, memory, gfx card), just a bunch of useless details about the mobo and chassis.

    why the obsession with evolution co op?

    Not enough noobs to pwn in CTF because people prefer Evolution? Well boo fucking hoo hoo, go play CS

    If you like ArmA, you'll love OFP.

    Zoom levels

    Luckily the game is very moddable, there's at least one released sound/config mod that doesn't have zoom, Modern warfare mod. Maybe the ACE mod will be the same, it'll supposedly be similiar to WGL for OFP. I really don't see BIS taking the zoom out from the default config, it's there for a reason. I also don't see the avarage gamer buying three monitors, a kick ass video card to feed them and a TIR just to be able to play the game.

    Zoom levels

    Ok then, would you rather take the zoomed out view where you can actually see something around you but everything looks way too small compared to reality and you have trouble shooting anything past 50 meters OR would you take the zoomed in view where stuff appaers to be approximately the right size but you can't really see shit because of the tiny view port you have into the game? Perhaps something in the middle? It will only be more unrealistic no matter what value you would choose as a static fov. In a shooter where the ranges vary from close combat to hundreds of meters, zoom's the only way to go short of having a huge ass display that covers your whole field of view in a good resolution and the super-computer to run the game on such.

    Virtualization

    Well, don't take my word for it. I do this every now and then and it works just fine.

    Virtualization

    You can run multiple instances of ofp and a deddy too if you want to on a single machine without any extra software. For best performance isolate the part you are testing and run it on desert island with only neccessary AI etc.
