I tried the mp demo on a AMD 3500+ and 7600GT PC. The setting is @normal for almost everything. AA and AF are also set to normal. Although framerate is low compare to other FPS(around 23 or less), the graphics and animation are really good and the framerate I have is definitely playable. And I have a few issues about the demo. 1. The view distance slider doesn't seem to work?or just me? 2. The auto-level vehicle control is ...well not good, I think alot of OFP player would prefer the vehicle control of OFP. 3. The high HDR setting cause quite a hit on fps. Thanks BIS, keep up the good work!! It's better than what I expected since I read too many negatives about ArmA before trying the demo. and Merry X'mas all!!

Problem solved

I've tried the search function but didn't find my answer. @MP lobby(Gamespy server list), Using socket implementation, I click on "New" to create a MP game, it should go to mission selection screen. Instead, it just display the "Create Client" msg for a few secs then go back to the MP lobby. The issue remains even I disable my internet connection. Help please. OFP 1.96 Win XP Pro SP2 Dx 9.0c nVidia Firewall UDP 2302 port forward

Track replay feature for AAR purpose. It's in VBS1 please bring it to AA.

Thanks you all! You guys are being really helpful. I think I get it working after using binview to extract the .cpp file.

Sorry about it.

I extract config.bin using unpbo ver. 1.3 to convert config.bin to config.cpp Then, I want to convert it back to config.bin using cpp2bin.exe but get an error "Error on property destroyFriendly - CfgExperience" So I am wondering what program do you use to config.bin -> config.cpp & config.cpp -> config.bin Thanks.

Hi, I am new to OFP mission editing stuff so please bear with me. I want to convert MP CTF mission(2-8_T_CAPTURETHEFLAG1.EDEN)so player can switch to any member's view on his/her side. The reason behind this is that I only play this mission with my bro online 1on1 and want to have all AI's view to help situational awareness. I add the following code on all the AI's initialization field. this addaction ["us/ru switch to player","switch_to_player.sqs"]; and add the following to player's initialization this addaction ["us/ru switch2","switch2.sqs"]; this addaction ["us/ru switch3","switch3.sqs"]; this addaction ["us/ru switch4","switch4.sqs"]; and each of the switch.sqs only have two lines of code: [us/ru]_soldier[2/3/4] switchcamera "external" exit I think it is really reduntant. Is there any way to make it cleaner? After the AI soldier die, I can no longer access the action menu hence can't switch back to others view. How do I get round this problem? Do I need to have a trigger to each soldier to check if_not_alive switchback to player? Also, if the player gets kill and respawn, all the action added is gone hence can't switch to others view. Any workaround? Also I have the following questions: 1. What does game logic object mean? since I saw this object in a few tutorial mission. 2. What does "respawn" in description.ext of MP mission mean? 3. How do I add something to command menu because I saw a "custom" command there. I am sorry I didn't look through all the tutorial but I did scan through a few. A link to a particular tutorial that answer my question would be appreciated. Thank you very much.

I would like to see a more detail debrief after each mission than just a screen with your score and the list of causalty. I would prefer a debrief similar to Steel Beasts that we have a events list and zoom-out map on the debrief screen. Then, we can go through all the important event. For each event, there are additional info on the map showing the location of the killer, the one being killed and the type of weapon used. Guys, feel free to post your mission debrief suggestion here

Suma, I forgot to mention one thing I suspected that might cause problem. I have installed CFS3 a weeks ago and it updated my directx from 8.1 to 8.2. I heard this 8.2 update is basically update direct play only and leave other directx component intact. I'll try to find program to uninstall DirectX 8.2 and go back to 8.1 to see if my problem still comes up because I was able to play MP byself with the same OS and network setup before. Thanks for your attention.

Suma, there is no dialog on the desktop while I creat server. I am using ADSL with an outgoing IP and a local IP bound to the Kingston Ethernet card. Does this mess things up? But I have this issue no matter I am online or offline also... Also when I moved the "laptop computer" in mp selection screen(image on my 1st post), I saw "creating client..." on the background, is it normal? Running out of idea... Someone help please..

I haven't played OFP for a few months and I fired up OFP v1.46 the other day and wanna have a quick MP game capture the flag game v.s. A.I. After I selected a mission and I got this weird selection screen. Of course I couldn't start the game cos I wasn't able to select anything. I reinstalled the game back to v1.0 but still got this issue. I am using XP traditional chinese version and using 30.82 nVidia driver. I searched the Avonlady's website but couldn't find the answer. Someone in MP forum said it might be font problem but I tried to click every possible area in those blank(supposed clickable)area but no response also. Help please!! Thanks!!

thanks for ur help. actually right after i click a mission, i got a screen with only "poll" and "time" i can choose. the soldier role or nation option is disappear. since i don't have anything to choose, i hit start and the "player not assigned" error pops up. if no one had this problem b4, i think i need to reinstall the game..

i remember i used to be able to play all the mp game by myself vs A.I.(capture the flag) last nite i fired up the game and found out that i couldnt. after select a map in mp and then click ok i got "player not assigned" error? is this feature taken out already? help please!
