Â like to add.<span id='postcolor'> Okay, soon to be Brownbar (screw it, I can't stay mad for that long) what would you think of a new campaign which involved Multinational forces, but used only the weapons origially given? I'm sure it would rank alongside such classics as "Patton" and "The Battle of the Bulge," where you only have to see the "Tigers" once to kick crediblity out of the window. Would that rate as a crappy idea? Try building anything without bricks, see how far you get. Sure, a load of dross will appear until proper user development tools become available. but dampening enthusiasm for creation of mods is shooting the horse before its lost the race. At the end of the day, you have a choice; don't use the kit, and don't bother with games which use mods you don't like. If Die Alive is serious about wanting Ewoks for god's sake, good for him. I won't be joining a game where I play as or against small irritating furry critters, but that's my choice. Personally, I'd really like to see the Stoner LMG that was used by your SEALS; Weapon with 100 round box weighing 12 lbs. Maybe when DA, or somebody like him has finished machinegunning teddybears, he'll make one. Think about it.

Okay, back on topic, then. I'd like to see Challenger as well, And Warrior, Chieftain, FV432 Scorpion, And Scimitar, which is almost the same as Scorpion, But mounts a 30 mike RARDEN cannon instead. it is Recon for infantry formations, while the Scorpion with its 76mm gun is issued to the armoured regiments. Lynx, Puma Wessex and Harriers, SA80, LSW, SLR and GPMG, and that green plastic thing with a screw lid which nobody has any idea what the #### it's for... They're never seen in the field BTW. Just on the shelves in Army Surplus stores... (Edited by Wardog at 10:27 pm on Nov. 22, 2001)

They were created at the same time. They are to the Royal Marines what the SAS is to the Army. As a matter of fact, a lot of missions which are attributed to the SAS were actually done by the SBS, but they really do keep their mouths shut. BTW, It's "Special Boat Squadron."

NM, found it

Which thread is this on?

As part of the wepona loadout for the Warthog Yeah, baby! As a historical point, at least on the US side, the only helo to use Napalm was the Chinook gunship of the Vietnam era. Kick an oil drum out of the back with a grenade attached...

Spinor, I'm not too clever yet on mission building, so I use the default settings wherever possible. I freely admit that I'm not the brightest candle in the chandelier, and usually need to be shown. do you have an example of a relevant string?

Cool! though my assets were out over the briney (Actually a brace of Cobras), so waiting outside isn't really an option Only the host being able to dial in though ; Better keep that guy fit! Thanks for the info, Rambo

"Think before you speak." Good advice. Flamed by me? Well, if I must... If you are so bloody intelligent, how come you can't see that without the addons for different nationalities, those campaigns will never be written? A beginner produces something that is admittedly a piece of crap, a sh1thead like you shoots him down and he never tries again, when all he really needed was constructive criticism a little more practice to one day produce something which may become a classic. And you are a Psych major? if you ever take it forward, I can only sympathise with the area where you work; I can see the suicide rate tripling straight away. Is this the technique your tutor uses, or are you just naturally unpleasant?

Interesting. if you don't use waypoints, how do you get the birds over the target? Only the host can dial in? Knowing that would be an acceptable work-around, but I'm afraid I have no idea how to transfer control.

So is this a bug, or can a script be written to overcome the problem? BTW, thanks for the response, at least

Realistially, An AV8 flown by US Marines is far more likely to be used in a rapid crisis intervention than an A10, but it doesn't use pop-up attacks. But if the third weapon pack is to be the last, I guess it won't be added unless the SDK becomes available.

The US would go to war with M16A2, The British with L85, The Germans with G36, The Australians with AUG, The French would send the Foreign Legion with FAMAS. In a formal campaign, who would give members of the same unite disparate weaponry? However, troops of different nationalities WOULD use appropriate equipment. one idea for a scenario, without even really thinking: US troops are providing perimeter security for an airbase while British relief forces are flown in by C130. Opforces are on the way in, and the Brits will be needed to provide a solid defence. Intel discovers that a local warlord has learned of the incoming flight, and has ordered a couple of AAM units into position along the aircraft’s flightpath. These units must be neutralised before they down the aircraft and destroy any chance of effective defence against numerically superior enemy forces. Sure, you could play the same with a Chinook or two, but in fact it would be more accurate to use the Hercs. Troops would be far more likely to arrive in country in a strategic transport than a large helicopter.

Okay, I'll talk technese. The aircraft were set up with two waypoints; the first, a standard Move waypoint, the second, Seek and Destroy. Waypoint 1 was synched to the trigger 0,0,7, which caused the unit to hold at point 1 until the code was sent. In single play, this worked fine and created very satisfactory havoc with the opposition. However, when I switched to multiplay, the code was just plain not accepted, nor was the code to call in the extraction copter. this while playing Team Leader, though for completeness sake I asked everyone else if they could dial in. no joy.

ZU23 for the resistance, perhaps even mounted on the back of a truck. Pretty common pice of kit in the middle east.

And who the #### are you to say what is bad, you pompous wanker?

You'll pardon me if I don't join you?

You want 'em, you build 'em.

I said to myself I wouldn't get involved in most of the backbiting bullsh1t that goes on in this forum, but to be insulted by an idiot that can't even spell Cretin is the last straw. Look sonny, the G36 is used by the present-day Bundeswehr. You know what? Somebody has already skinned German troops. This opens up the possibility of a campaign based around German characters. Know what? It doesn't even have to be based in 1985. The FAMAS is used by the French Foreign Legion, The Steyr used by Australia, etc. You see a pattern beginning to develop? The same goes for Armour, Aircraft, whatever. Some people out there think that some items are inappropriate for the game, and so scream their heads off when somebody dares to venture the opinion that a basic transport aircraft should be added. Personally, if the SDK is ever released, if somebody wants to go to the trouble make a model of the U.S.S New Jersey, BLOODY GOOD FOR THEM! You never know, they may even produce a mission into which it fits perfectly into context. That’s their business, not the business of some unimaginative pratt that that can’t use a paint program without taking paracetomol. I love this game, and I can only see it getting better and better. Wake up or shut up boy. The people who do and will create addons for Operation Flashpoint now and in the future will not be hamstrung by your lack of imagination. There are downloads out there that I use, and there are downloads out there I don’t. I’m happy to have the choice. Now crawl back under your rock. Over and out.

Nobody has had this problem before?

The readme is a bit vague on some aspects, so I recommend you download these monsters: http://www.planetannihilation.com/mercilesscreations/sections/opflash/opflash.htm Between the Uber reference and the command guide, it'll get you started

You mean you don't want to shoot Anakim Skywalker?

I tried putting the new Grenade launchers in crates with the following line: AddWeaponCargo ["mm-1",2]; AddMagazineCargo ["mm-1",24] But when I try and start the scenario, the mission crashes. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Problem got solved with 1.29 for me, though to be honest, haven't played that particular mission since the upgrade to 1.3...

At the prices BT charge, I'm not surprised nobody wants it. If you are in an area where you can connect to NTL, I suggest you do it. It isn't $5000.00 a year, its Å120.00. Their phone service is cheaper too. Visit their site if you want to at least look at the feasability of it, If you bung in your post code, the thingmies there will tell you immediately if broadband is availabe in your area, or will be in the future. Now excuse me, I'll just go back to my streaming porn... http://www.ntlworld.com/ (Edited by Wardog at 8:32 pm on Nov. 9, 2001)
