-WKK--SkyQuake

After a reistallation of windows this weekend - the time has come to install OFP again. Its my good old cd since release, so first I have to install cold war crisis and then Resistance. + latest patches. Problem. After 10+ attempts to install cold war crisis the installer just gives up on the voice.pbo and exits. The CD got quite some marks, but nothing i havent seen before. Ive cleaned it and even tried my cd-burner who ussually reads every thing given enough time. But no luck Any workarounds? Wuld like to keep my old ID and not make the resistance-cd tottaly obsolete. SQ

Well I installed it from a friends cd with my own key. So it works Maybe BIS shuld add this on their games: "Deteriorates with heavy use" SQ

Thanx m8. Looks around for a unsuspecting clan-members cd

Can anyone confirm this? Can my old installation access code (serial) from Cold War Crisis work on OFP GOTY-edition? And is the ID bound to the code/serial or to the cd/copy? Because i have acces to multiple GOTY-editions. Just dont wanna use another persons ID.

Without reading the full thread. One shuld not be able to turn off cloudlets (fog) in MP. Like viewdistance is fixed or set by mapeditor, same shuld fog be. Smokeshells is one of the small tactical advantages in ladder-ctf's. Right now they are useless. SQ

I have question. I know its not allowed to post messages anti-(race/sex/religion etc). And i agree this shuld be dealt with hard and brutal. BUT. I see some people actually can do this without any intervention at all. Why, they somehow back their views up by religion or politics. My religion says this, and there for it is so, shuld be like this and so on. While others are mutilated hard because they dont have the "book" on their side or use it to backup their views. So do we follow any specifik religous concept? If we respect all religions, we shuld respect those without to. SQ - non-beliver

I have multiple moments and thats why i still love this game! 1. Beeing called a cheater on a mp-servers for killing to much. I always get alot of satisfaction and joy out of this comment. 2. Beeing called a camper on mp-servers. Somtimes i enjoy this comment even more. 3. Makeing dead precise and fast chopper-landings on roofs. 4. Extracting someone carrying a flag from a rooftop with my chopper. Hearing gunfire hitting the chopper! Better than sex-experience when i finally get away and succesfully return the flagcarrier to score! 5. Multiple times killing the same ex-counterstrike enemy player. Especially after his peptalk in the lobby "Ill kill u all" and "gogogogo" And ingame after his multiple deaths starting to complain about lag on a superserver. 6. Running home with a captured flag on the back, with the inscriptions; "here i am, shoot me, i cannot hide in a bush, you will still see this flag". This makes me sweat every time. I inhale multiple cigarets and press my forward button harder and harder before im home. 7. Seeing other ofp-players evolve/get better. (not actually any specifik moment). 8. First time i used the editor. Never played the campaigns since. And lots more SQ

Whats the big deal? Since i recived a mug-shot of me and a fine for speeding 83 km/h (in a 70-zone, next to a school i attend) I seldom leave home. I was speeding because i was getting late for class When I leave home I wear mask and 2 times a month I change hair color. I try to speak with a different accent when i meet new people (german or the standard "no, hablo danish"). When i drive home from school ( i only drive in reverse now, no chance of speeding) i leave in the opposite direction of my home to make sure im not beeing followed(driving backwards also makes it easier to keep both eyes on the potentiel followers) . It takes a little extra time, but im sure, ive lost some echelon-guys a couple of times. Other than that, here is some good advice. If you see a big mobile van parked somewhere close to a road and a big white flash blinks when u drive past it, your marked for termination!!! SkyQuake - soon to change name because all of this is beeing logged!

Well the ship is big, but with 23755 registerd ofp-users playing paintball on the deck i guess it will be a little crowded. And knowing some of the ofp-community's flying skill i hope we all can agree, that using autohover and 3rd-person view is a must when landing choppers on that thing btw. how strong is the radar? can it be bought separate?  does is come with aa-canons installed? I searched the Avon's Lady's faq but culdnt find any answers for those two questions  Might be me dooing something wrong. Looking thorugh my bankaccount i think i just have enough for it, but what worries me is the fuel-consumption. I want to be able to fill her up just once. And do i want to know how much juice/money it uses pr. hour? Please help me out, what wuld the average cost be pr. hour? In the meantime i will go tjeck what it will cost me to get all of Nyhavn - Copenhagen to dock my ship in. Cant be that expensive, i always see alot of nice yachts there.

How to do? Its easy enough to have one trigger beeing activated by another trigger. <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">trigger2 condition: trigger1 = true But how do you trigger a 3rd trigger if one of 2 other triggers is active? <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">trigger3 condition: trigger1 = true or trigger2 = true dossent work Ive tried with ( ) around and so on.... Thanx in advance SkyQuake - not the biggest scripter/coder

thx will go test it out And the AND-command example u gave works yes, but i was refering to my OR-example. SQ

C&H = Capture and Hold - maps.

Sounds like a C&H-map. No easy or short way to to tell how to do this. I recommend to go to a server, play some C&H maps -- Unpbo them, tjeck their scripts and triggers out. or tjeck some C&H tutorials out at ofpec. SQ

Well tried it, and it dossent work And its not the AND-command i want to use, but the OR-command (II) Ive made a small-scale map triggerprob.Noe.zip trying to show what i need. I have 2 triggers that can be activated when entered. The 3rd trigger is controling a waypoint and shuld kick in once one of the two other triggers is activated. SQ

You cant test respawn in preview-mode! You have to export to multiplayer-mission and load the map in multiplayer to test it. But it will work if you have done as stated. SQ

Nope - dossent work, get a error But thanx anyway btw. the 3rd trigger is to be synced with a waypoint.

Still many people wuld love if they culd tie this war to US and Bush Please dont involve the US in this war. Its people who have wanted independance for many years (1970's) and the conflict have worsened alot since 1998. The Aceh have become more and better equiped and make a bigger treath to Indonisia. Maybe the timing is bad and the indonisians use "the war on terror" as excuse, i dunno. What wonders me, is that I never heard about this conflict before. What do the majority of the population in that area want? Do they want independance or is it just some rich "Aceh"-religious-dudes playing generals/liberators?? SQ

What about makeing the german tank that never got built? "Most Maus prototypes were blown up in the last weeks of the war as the Russians closed in on Meppen, although guns, turrets and hulls were found by Allied Intelligence officers abandoned and partially destoyed..... bla bla bla ... Â Design studies found at Krupp showed a version of the Maus carrying a 305mm breech-loading mortar, named 'Bear', and a giant 1500-ton vehicle with a 800mm gun as main armament and two 150mm guns in auxiliary turrets on the rear quarters. This vehicle put forward by two engineers named Grote and Hacker was planned to be powered by four U-boat diesel engines." Make the 1500-ton tank Wuld be cool driving it 2 mph, around nogova...

Well BIS must have a huge log-file with all my login/pasword attempts! BUT i got it in the end

Just made a map with this wonderfull chopper on it. One problem. Our Linux-server wont run maps with the Bell47 on it. No problem running it on windows servers. From the bash-shell on our server it states: Invalid texture aspect ratio (512x32) This happens when trying to run a simple multiplayermap with only two bell47's on it. SkyQuake

Is it just me or has this little "bug" been here long (ive wonderd about it for weeks now)? Look under your >> Welcome "username" "OF Forum > Offtopic > blabla" If you bookmark the OFP-forum (add to favorites) it will call it the "OF Forum" to Wuldnt it be more propper to call it the "OFP Forum"? Everywhere Operation flashpoint is reffered to as OFP, not OF. Though it dossent consists of 3 words but only two. Now i will go buy some explosives for newyears eve!!! beware town of Tureby!

Arrrrgh never mind! I just wonderd loudly, OK! Still think it used to be called OFP and not OF for some time ago. But i might be mistaken! Pins: it matters as little as many other topics.

Dunno if your dumb I hope not. I just remeber, if i remember correctly, that it used (some time ago) to say OFP, not OF.........

>>David Shipley,Dec. 30 2002,09:20]Really? I remember >>upgrading from a 900 mhz to the 1.3, and didn't see any >>difference. If I upgrade to a 2.0, it'll make all the difference? Both celeron's? If so i culd understand why. That isnt much of a upgrade in OFP-terms Depending on your money-situation. There are many nice upgrades you culd make! U say "if i upgrade to 2.0", that means you have to change motherboard to! a celeron 1.3 Ghz uses socket 370 (pIII socket) if i remember correctly. If u want pentium and speeds over 1.4 Ghz u need a new motherboard to. A socket 478 is needed, and please dont buy a celeron again. Buy a P4 at least. And if you change Mobo, u might have to aquire new ram-modules. So it can quickly get expensive. The Athlon XP's are very very cheap now and outperforms any Celerons and some/many P4's on the market. I culd easy recommend some cheap good hardware, but i wuldnt like to start a fan-boy/flamewar over this....... And as Wigum explain. Its hard giving any answers, because so many things inflict on the outcome. To mixed hardware from different "centuries" seldom gives any noticeable results. BUT OFP is a very CPU-needy game....... thats a fact..... Do we need a OFP-hardware forum? Upgrading questions get more and more common! SQ Wuhuuuuuu ive reached a postcount of 10...... with my old login that wuld make 15 posts in 2 years weeeeeee. Be ware of the great spammer!!!!! And i mess up a quote completely! Big applause!
