As bn880 said: - target: returning the currently targeted unit Other good things would be: - sidelist: returning all units of a given side, maybe in addition with filters, ie: sidelist ["West", "Air"] returning all western air units - elseif construct, if, elseif, else... - aslheight: height above sealevel, but this is not so important - Possibility to include descriptions.ext in pbo, without need of a #include call in mission description.ext. In that case a "freeid" command would be handy, returning a number that is free for using as ID.

It might be possible to implement such a system, but it requires some scripting (and a good config). But it has to run automaticly (over incomingmissile).

And not all authors are waiting for a new version of an addon used on their map, just to update it within 5 minutes after releasing the new version of the addon. That would mean that all maps with with this certain addon on are at least unable to be played for around 1 day -> never (cause missionmaker is in holiday or whatever...). Then you have to distribute those maps also to all servers that use the old version (since it will occure a version conflict when ppl join in with the allready updated addon). All this would require a massive work of the serveradmins/mapmakers, cause they have to add/takeout/update all the time the maps that are no more playable or updated. You cannot deny that this is quite a lot of work compared to the one update all 2-4 (or whatever month).

But I bet everyone with 56k and no flatrate + no friends with faster conns could imagine such a way, cause it may be cheaper then actually downloading all that stuff. 200 mb take ~600-800 mins to download on 56k. If you just have to pay 1 euro/dollar/whatever per hour it might be handy to get a CD for 2-4 euro/dollar/whatever. But as I said, this isn't really a topic here. While I follow the discussion here one question comes to my mind: "Why do you all make such a drama out of it?" Why don't those server guys simply do what they plan to do and look if there is a player acceptance for their doing? It isn't really a matter of version conflicts, download size, redunancy or updating. If players accept limiting the abilities of the addons, but they can play online with limited (but still in some cases better) instead of default units, why don't let them?

There are plenty of very good addons out, that make OFP a better game and they are never used... Shouldn't it be inverse, servers become popular because they use addons which give a new game feeling? Of course ppl tell themselfes "oh, damn I have to search together all addons used on this server...and if I change the server I have to get some more...I stay with the servers without addons", but I am sure 90% (even of the 56k users) will download the basic modules when they just have to click once on one site to get them (instead on searching several sites for each addon). I just wanna say it is worth a try.

quite easy, your model path reference is wrong: Inestead of: model="m2nm/M2_mg"; it has to be model="\m2nm\M2_mg.p3d"; (.p3d is optional)

You can allready check in the cpp what weapon is fired, you just have the problem that only this special guy would produce a lot of smoke with a RPG.

Tag it. As more ppl start to tag there work, as more other ppl might see that they should tag their work.

The map works only on official islands (or also their winter/desert version). We have no chance to read out what island we are on and create a map out of it. So we limited that only to the official ones. If you are on a custom island only the compass shows up.

~Too Tall~, Â you are missing the point: - the scripts are not binned, so everyone can use them freely - 5 Prototypes I don't call "in service" - What high horse you are talking about, I said allready that we share (most of) our knowledge if ppl ask us, but we wont do a "Config writing/O2 moddeling for beginners"-tutorial. - And no, i don't feel special if someone rips a model and this rip looks like shit and doesn't match the original in any way (not every rip, but some). Learning from others is ok and appriciated, since it is the same way I learned how to write configs/scripts. But silly copying/ripping is not, you wont even have a great learn effect from that.

@WarfareGames.com: Make sure you placed the DKMM_RAH66.pbo in there, no subfolders or such. @All those guys who want to eject from a chopper: There is only one choppertype you really can eject from and that is called KA-50/52. This chopper has an ejectionseat and all equippment to make it a safe thing to eject. ALL other choppers have not such a system and are designed under the aspect, that the helicopter cell and the pilot seat will take off most of the impact energy of a crashing chopper. So normally your best method to survive is to stay in your seat. BTW you wouldn't be able to open the doors of the Comanche since the downwash would force against you (and guess who is stronger). If you fly in a height, where you could eject saftely (and you would be able to get out) you should think about taking a plane, since choppers are for low level flights, using the terrain as cover. If you are flying low you can also make a quick landing most of the time. BTW: chopper pilots don't have parachutes, so ejecting would be allways the badest of all opportunities. That is why we disabled the eject option, unfortunally we cannot force the AI to stay in. I hope ppl see now why this is disabled.

There is no vodoo stuff in the config, only regular commands. Most of them (especially the animation) wouldn't be of great use for you anyway, since you would need to have the model also unbinned, which is not an option (every unbinned vehicle of DKM was at least ripped once). So why do we bin it, since there is no secret in it? Cause we wont let ppl play around with that config, all should use the original config. But if you have a question, how certain things are done..well, simply ask us. Binning the config doesn't mean, that we wont answer questions. We just give no "basic O2 and config"-tutorials, so you should have a rough idea how things work, which you can learn even without this config.
