Sam Samson

did nobody bother to look at it yet?

I agree, bashfully. (c'mon, smile...) (in here somewhere is also a thread about my new mini-campaign: Samson's "It doesn't take a Hero.")

umm, odd that they report on that now. these guys probably weren't spec-4s, but the guys in the army aren't exactly known for their mild manners. in the city I live an officer not too long ago chased his wife in another car and when she wrecked her's got out and fatally shot her. that wasn't even the only violent incident around the barracks. don't remember cnn reporting on that. stuff happens all the time. just doesn't always get reported. doesn't justify anything of course. feel for the victims + their families. God have mercy on them. and the whole country.

On abortion something that hasn't come up yet: It is detrimental to the health and wellbeing of the woman. Chuck that naturalistic, materialistic cell lump viewpoint. It is one dimensional. I have counseled scores of traumatized, severely depressed post-abortion women, who would turn back time if they only could. One week after the op a particular woman experienced severe pain in her abdomen. She went back to the doc for a checkup. Only then did they discover that they had left a part of the child's corpse inside her, making her a living tomb. She came to me 10 years after the fact, still haunted. Others are haunted by memories from the sucking sound of the "vac" aborting their cell lumps. Others turn frigid, presumably in an attempt at self-punishment. Others expect and accept negative turns of fate as punishment from God and lose all ambition, cry a lot. I have seen that only very choleric women and to a smaller percentage sanguine personalities can cope with the stress an abortion carries. (In the military a similar phenomenon occurs. In WW1 they called it shell shock, in Germany it was grenade fever. Nowadays everybody has heard the term "posttraumatic stress syndrome" flung around.) The traumatizing effect of abortions on the female psyche is well known in medical circles, but hardly anybody speaks about it. In my esteem the reason is that a whole industry exploits the "right to choose" nowadays. They remain silent for monetary reasons. To be honest would hurt the checkbook of many doctors. So, I'm against abortion, not just because God doesn't like it, but because I like women. (My wife in particular.) God is against it, because he likes people in general. (Imagine Jesus would have been aborted!

what's yer problem, residuum? those guys can read and post faster than a speeding bullet.

I'll chip my two cents worth in. a human starts at conception. to kill it is wrong. the death penalty is something very serious. God installed it, yes, (hey, won't we all die?), but please, put somebody's light out only if there are more than one credible witness to the misdeed. if the evidence is circumstancial, a life sentence will do. death is the only punishment you can't reverse. so, treat lightly, guys. and no lynching. (even Cain was not to be lynched.) about Jesus: I really believe he was God in the flesh and that I'll meet him one of these days. about his death: it happened as it was prophecied. just read Isaiah 53. It describes precisely what Jesus went through, 700 years before the fact. or, my favorite: Psalms 22, 17-22: it talks about the crucifixion (...they have pierced my hands and my feet...) and the gambling over his clothes a solid 1000 years before it happened. (compare with Matthew's gospel 27, 35.) God is real, guys.

guess you can't attach anything on this board. send me your email address, I'll mail you a mission that uses the helocargo.sqs. (on tues. earliest. I'm not there until then.)

Umm, I made a campaign that sort of engages the subject kinda. Its called Samson's War on Terror and can be downloaded about everywhere. You can find the newest version here: http://home.debitel.net/user/gehoinle/SWoT/index.html Since many people liked it, a French fan, Azimut 0, converted it into a Winter scenario. To be found at www. flashpointconversions.xyz or something like that.

a 1 MB SCRIPT??? And Mrs Molly is dancing the funky chicken!! To use this here script, copy and paste it, call it HeloCargo.sqs. (Should run about 200 byte. Works just fine.) ; This script was written by a gentleman by the name of vienna aka franz99 ; ; [<Heliname>,[unitname1,Unitname2,.....],<DetectionRadius>,<DistanceFromHelo >] exec "HeloCargo.sqs" ; ;************************************************************************* ;Parameter: ;Heliname _heli = _this select 0 ;Liste mit den Tranportunits _liste = _this select 1 ;Aufnahmebereich _bereich = _this select 2 ;Aufhängungsabstand _abstand = _this select 3 ; Abfrage ob Unit aus Liste im Aufnahmebereich #Loop0 ~0.1 ? not alive _heli : exit _z = getpos _heli select 2 ; ist Heli unter 6 m, dann Script im Leerlauf ? _z < 6 : goto "Loop0" ; Suche ob eine Unit der Liste im Aufnahmebereich _i = count _liste _j = -1 #Schleife _j = _j + 1 ~0.1 ? _j >= _i : goto "Loop0" _unit = _liste select _j ? not alive _unit : goto "Schleife" ? _heli distance _unit < _z+_abstand : goto "Rauf" goto "Schleife" ;_unit bis auf 5 m Abstand raufkurbeln #Rauf ;Aufnahmemeldung ausgeben _heli SideChat "Well there!

Ummm, why don't you exchange the name of the truck or jeep w the one of the tank? scriptwise there's no difference btw a truck or any other object.

go like this: test = true #loop ? !test: Titletext ["Its working!","PLAIN"], ... goto "loop" if you do test=true, you are redeclaring the variable, not comparing it (compare with ==). in case of a bool you don't have to manually compare though.

I'm a four star general! I want a decent hq with a great big hall and a table with a map on it that deserves the name. Give me a command engine with which I can order my troops around my area. And a remote camera so I can watch them perform while I think up tactics in front of my map. And a secretary, and some fresh coffee, ...

it seeeeeeeems to be a graphics driver related access violation. most of the time i can't even progress past the splashscreens before i get kicked back to dt. (using detonator xp) set my graphics settings to 16bit hicolor instead of 32, set bios agp aperture to the size of my gracard mem. now it works more often than before. (res did let me start sometimes w/o problem even before). hope they patch this soon...

yo man bubba, quit yer hossin roun. f got merseff jes liggit copies of dem game en em oar still jes crashin on me afta da splashscreens, no jive man. and ofp 1.46 jes works fine, no jive so what er you tokkin bout?

Well, gee, thanks, Spinor! Guess that answers my question precisely. Grrrrreat, as Tony the Tiger would have said. *bows repeatedly and walks backwards, thoroughly awed*

if you preview any mission, you can set markers by double-clicking (zoom in first) and pressing enter. now for the 1000$ question: how can I read the position-coordinates of that player-set marker? this would enable scripts for some serious tactical, CO-style gameplay, not just the usual grunty hop n jump missions.

Hi'yall, mine calls it quits most of the time after I call R up. Then the logo, splash screens appear and then the desktop without a peep. at other times - no apparent reason - it starts up fine and I can jazz around. clean install, new boot, etc, none really helps. anybody got any suggestions?

If any of you addon-specialists has an oilwell or a drill-tower for me: would you mail it to me at [email protected]? The desert maps just lack something without some.
