Yes it was. Nice mission! Took far too long to find that last survivor ( 2hours! ), but I ssincerely hope we see more like it!

Perfect. I remembered my favourite Resistance Campaign Mission : First Strike. Took 5 minutes to convert to use the new Beta APC's. They look awesome and the mission runs fine ( I think, no time to test fully, off to lunch .... ) Get it here : http://quake3.barrysworld.net/poet/First_Strike_Akm74APC.zip Mirrors would be most welcome.

Very very nice!

Vixer - Avons FAQ has a copy of the SNP2. ObiWan & CuteQa - I had a look at the other units in the editor and they look fantastic! A lot nicer than the bare-sleeved units in the 1969 Campaign AvonLady converted using the Marines : ( admittedly this was taken using my ugly fps boosting grafx settings ) Looks like they used some kind of hair removing tan cream. And I wouldnt want whatever disease the guy in the middle has, poor chap. Hmmm /me wonders how long it would take to convert the campaign to sleeved units ....

Which Nam Pack? I've got 3 - Kyllicki, SEB1 and SEB2.  And it doesnt  look like any of them to me ... All the units I got from the SEB2 pack look as though they have Orange Foam arms. I even downloaded it twice from different locations cause I couldnt believe SEB made addons that look like that! Â

Some nice pics there Gummi! but where did this Unit come from? http://www.mmedia.is/irg/gummi/gallery/pic_6.jpg I got both the SEB Nam packs and they look nothing like that!

Thanks for the Tip John C, this is a great Campaign, I'm really enjoying it so far, lots of nice touches, its just as an English OFP player I find it hard to concentrate listening to those never ending corny cliche's. Its like a Jerry Bruckheimer film at times. I've looked at the same AI script myself and seen it in a couple of other missions. I think its fantastic when the enemy use it and you can hear them shouting at each other when you attack. Any idea how I can change the script to completely remove the Allies using the comments and let the Russians keep them ( I can handle cliche's in Russian, cause I havent a clue what they're saying ), still keeping the other cool enhancements the script uses?

Or would he?

Cause he'd look very silly in a Ball Gown. :P

I was bored and wanted to play with The Gimp ( Free Photoshop-esque app that Rox! ), so made myself some Wallpaper:

I didnt mean "racist" as in I'm gonna pull the P.C card and start giving lectures ... But "Eat lead Commie Scum!" repeated every few minutes did get a touch irritating. And it was like a cough in a Doctors waiting room, once one got it, they were all at it. I'm sure some people will think its a really cool addition to the campaign, I personally would love to see the option to remove it or at least reduce the amount.

Nice work so far. Can I make 2 requests/suggestions. 1. Please get rid of the ghastly inane racist cr*p that the soldiers are spewing. Yeah it was cute for about 10 seconds, but it almost never fit in with the action, even when we are silently moving towards a target they keep spouting their mouths off. Sure that may be quite realistic but its damned annoying, at least the option to disable it. PLEASE! 2. Can we have Campaign and Missions versions like other Campaign makers have done? It would be nice to have the choice of playing with teh same men and ammo, or starting each mission with a fresh squad. Good stuff tho.

I keep hearing about "Flushpoint" and "Battlefield 1985" but have never been able to find a link to either. I searched all the usual Flashpoint sites and tried a few Google searches all to no avail. Anyone know where I can find these 2? I wanna see what people keep going on about.

Thanks for the tip benu! Need to try that next time, though my addon folder ( folders! ) are in a proper mess... all over the place. Anyway, Here we go : http://quake3.barrysworld.net/poet/Sweet_Tooth.zip Changes : Added - "Mission Complete" text to all missions. Mission 4 - More units to increase difficulty. Fixed - All rogue non-existant or dissappearing Addon references. Changed - Mission 4 - Made Artillery Server only, to prevent client duplication. Various minor tweaks and improvements. ------------------------------ I seriously hope this is now the Final. Though the God of OFP Editing never seems to want me to use that word. Thanks to all involved for the help and testing!

Have you changed the Mission Editor to Advanced Mode? Near the box where you set Weather etc...

Ignore the above. That sorted it Cosmic Evolution! Works a charm. Thanks all for your help!

Hello, I have a mission with a fairly heavy artillery strike. It works fine, in SP and MP, but in MP each piece of ordinance is duplicated for each player connected, leading to WAY TOO MUCH artillery ( looked great though ). I did some searching and found Snypirs cool Multiplayer Mission Tutorial. Got as far as this bit : </span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE"> If you went through the previous section of the guide you'll know about init.sqs. The init.sqs file will be launched at the start of the mission, on every computer. Make another file called server_loop.sqs (can be named anything). Make sure they are both in your mission directory. In init.sqs, put: ? local(Server) : [] exec "server_loop.sqs" In your mission, make a game logic unit and name it 'Server'. Done! server_loop.sqs will only run on the server computer - you have my word on it. This is because game logic units are local only to the server when the mission actually starts (don't ask me for specifics, ask BIS). In server_loop.sqs you would call other scripts as required, safe in the knowledge that they will only run on the server. <span id='postcolor'> So I added the line to my init.sqs no probs. But what do I add to the server_loop.sqs so that the script/s runs only on the server when its called by Radio Alpha? I need the exact code if possible. All help, as always greatly appreciated. Cheers!

Ok, the scripts need some arguments to run properly e.g : [a,b,c,d] exec "arty.sqs" etc. Putting those arguments into the server_loop.sqs like : </span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">[b3,b21,b1,100,24] exec "navalstrikeV2.sqs" ["arty", 100, 2, 11, 32, 19] exec "heavy_ari.sqs" <span id='postcolor'> stopped the error message, but now both triggers activate as soon as the mission starts, rather than when called by Radio Alpha ... Any ideas?

"bis_resistance" was missing in the addon section of the mission.sqm. After fixing that the mission worked...<span id='postcolor'> Thanks for spotting that! How that happened is beyond me, though I have noticed Mission making is fraught with bizarre random errors that just appear. Or maybe its just me. Sorted now.

Twas great fun! Thanks. Mission 3 can now be made even more evil, now the cause of the problems has been removed ( though not happy you know where my favourite sniper is , at least he had us pinned down for a while - that viewdistance script is a wonder! ). It did look great with all that artillery going off, though a little too much ( working on a fix as I type ). That Hind must have had SUPER! Armour or something though! God knows how it survived ( it wont next time )

Yup got a gamelogic called "Server" Its what I put in the server_loop.sqs thats got me puzzled. Say I have 2 arty scripts that are both launched by Radio Alpha. Do I just put : </span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE"> [] exec "navalstrikeV2.sqs" [] exec "heavy_ari.sqs" <span id='postcolor'> in the server_loop.sqs I get an error message when the mission loads to do with the navalstrike script, but it still works when I call it in via radio. Or do I need to add something else to the server_loop.sqs that only launches the script on the radio call. Sorry if I sound like a Dunce, I guess I am here. I can't get my head round it.

Â Well worth it.<span id='postcolor'> Which is exactly the aim of an unofficial addon pack. I dont think you're an idiot for trying this, its just I would rather see an Unofficial Addon pack/s rather than having to deal with both. It would cause even more headaches for AllSeeingEye users than we have already with Mod folders and each server having its own addon pack. And what about version compatability with servers that dont want to use an unofficial upgrade patch? Thats another reason why an addon pack would be so much simpler. I applaud your efforts to get the community more co-ordinated, it needs it IMO. But I cant help get the feeling that this could end up in more duplication and hassle. Its like the 4 teams all working on AK47 addons. Each one thinks that they can do AK47's better than the other teams, so Mission Makers and Players are left with having to decide which of the 4 to use. And very few people will want to use all 4. Too many cooks ... !
