    Thanks mate. I don't see why people use this, .zip doesn't even need winzip if u have a newer version of windows.

    What leader are you most like?

    William Tecumseh Sherman Biography: William Tecumseh Sherman was one of the most controversial and successful Union generals during the Civil War. He performed well at Shiloh, Vicksburg, and the siege of Chattanooga. He captured Atlanta in one of the Civil War's most decisive campaigns. He advocated the concept of "total war" — waging war not just on the enemy's forces but on the enemy's support network. In this, he was the first modern general. He demonstrated this in his famous "March to the Sea," where his troops cut a swath of destruction through Georgia. Leadership Attributes: Sherman was tenacious in battle, and served with Ulysses S Grant in his campaigns — including the siege of Vicksburg, where his tenacity payed off. Sherman led by initiative as much as by planning. During his "March to the Sea," he was cut off from supply lines and his troops lived off the land. Sherman was a soldier, not a diplomat. In fact, after the war, when his name was bandied about for a nomination, he said, "If nominated, I will not run; if elected, I will not serve." About right I'd say, get in there and kick their arse! A fine tactic.

    Ferret update

    I feel mislead. I thought someone was making a ferret for ofp. Maybe for hunting or something

    Mf conquer the island

    Didn't the latest release come out with some addons? I know there is a server version so that people can play the MOD without the addons. I think if it includes addons it's a MOD.

    Ground textures are white

    In the FAQ forum there is a thread about white textures. Can I add to this thread? I have slightly more detail on it and had I viewed the thread when I was suffering from it I'd still have been none the wiser.

    Ground textures are white

    Well, the problem of white floors arises as a result of a lack of video memory. I had on-board graphics at first, before going PCI, and it shared about 8-16 Megs from the RAM. This meant there was in no way enough video memory for it to texture everything. So the computer decided to leave the floor out completely. Also it isn't white, it's simply textureless i.e. no colour at all. So you don't even get a snow effect. There are benefits to this though. It makes spotting enemies a damn sight easier and you can see quite well in the dark. But the downsides are things like having no idea where a hill starts or ends and seeing roads where there are no roads i.e. on the other side of a hill. So if anyone is suffering form this affliction, buy a better graphics card, it's the only way.

    A new bug?

    What version are you on? I used to get this but I haven't done anything to warrant this response in ages. My preffered tactic in the campaign was to steal the nearest piece of armor and kick some infantry arse, rather than risk actually getting shot But when I did this I often had to drive and shoot all on my lonesome

    Mf conquer the island

    Where is v.99 currently being hosted? Also, any plans for a single player version? I would de-pbo it and convert but I haven't found a reliable de-pbo'er that I can fit on a floppy.

    Animals in ofp would give credibility to the hunting rifle and such.

    Outflanking me ? i dont think so !

    </span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Quote (DayGlow @ Oct. 30 2002,19:17)</td></tr><tr><td id="QUOTE">Well the rez is still streched across the screen. You do have a wider FOV, but the image is streched. Look at this: You have to look close, but look at the crosshairs in the middle monitor. How would you hit anything with that? I'm not knocking it, the triple head monitor looks nice, but for me the money is better spent on other things. I don't know how much this will take off having to have 3 monitors. My second monitor I have is from my 486 from 92 and is a nice 14in job. can't wait to upgrade that one. COLINMAN<span id='postcolor'> That's disgusting. You have to look all the way to the left just to see your action menu. AND part of the gun is on the left monitor. I really couldn't play like that. You may get better FOV but at such a cost is unacceptable. If they could bring the action menu over and not cut the gun in two then fine. Otherwise I can't bear to watch such evil inflicted upon this game.

    Ofp rts

    I'm having difficulty creating a global variablr, lets call it creds. What I want to do is build an object in a specific area and if it's in the right place it'll slowly add to "creds" which I want displayed permanently on-screen. I can't figure out a method of handling the variable and have no idea how to display it. I'm at uni and we are learning C++, I've done some versions of BASIC so I'm not illiterate in this respect and I have all the comrefs I can lay my hands on.
