Hi I updated the install-tutorial a few days ago, it seems that the error comes when you use "o2program" as the name of the folder where the o2 program files goes, you must use just "o2" or anything less than 8 characters (due to the use of DOS command SUBST i think). brsseb

We`re in trouble guys.. The heli is almost done with scripts working perfectly, the MFD works smooth and the rockets are ace... BUT the scripts dont work in multiplayer Can someone please answer the post about our scriptproblem? Its under the Config & Scripting section: http://www.flashpoint1985.com/cgi-bin....t=25980 Our scripter has to study and dont have time to focus on the matter right now, so we need help from people who can get the scripts working in MP. brsseb

Hehe, i should have made myself much clearer, when I mean sit down, i didnt meant the usual sitting-on-a-chair-or-seat-of-some-sort stuff, but on the ground! But so it guess i can use like: driverAction = EffectStandSitDownVer1; or driverAction = EffectStandSitDownVer2; then?

Hi My Getting started tut seems to have helped alot of people, but also created more frustration for some. This means that Im always open for more hints on how to impove this small, but critical tut. IF ANYONE DIDNT GET O2 TO WORK AFTER DOING THIS TUT, OR EVEN BETTER, FIXED IT LATER ON WITH SOMETHING NOT MENTIONED IN THE TUT, PLEASE MAIL ME SO I CAN UPDATE IT. (brsseb@hotmail.com) Btw, in the current tut, it tells you to put the o2 program in a folder named "o2program". If you get error on starting the program it might help to change this foldername to something shorter (old DOS rule , maybe, max 8 characters due do the use of the SUBUST command). Naming it just o2 is fine. brsseb

more qestions from my scripter. Please help, our Comanche depents on it if we are to make it work in MP: ----------------------------------- REQUEST: "Another couple of questions: 1.) Does "publicVariable" work with arbitrary arrays? The old comref says it only works for such types as integer, string... but maybe thats outdated information? Coz I need it to work with an array of records, i.e. something like [ [ [], [ [], [] ], [] ] ] ] 2.) I had the following idea to make the Comanche scripts work in a MP game: there're scripts running on each client which manage special stuff like addactions, smoke, damage simulation, weapons, etc pp, but they don't really do anything (! but feed their events to a global array (I call it "client command buffer"). This array contains elements of the type [command_ID,param1,param2,...] and is handled by the init.sqs script. The init.sqs script constantly goes thru the array to see if a new event has occured, and - if it has - dispatches it via performing the required action on the client. It then removes the item from the list and jumps back to an idle state where it waits for a new command to be fed to the buffer. The challenge is to fill the command buffer, as it can't be a simple global variable (in this case the first client might kick out a dispatched command before the second client hasn't even looked at it). So it rather needs to be some clever mechanism that feeds the commands to local variables on each client. Or, each command is tagged with a list of clients that have already executed the command, so when its fully tagged, the server can kill it. Instead of tagging the element, I could also keep a counter for each command which counts how many clients have already dispatched it --------

Hi You can set up shock absorbers, see my tutorial 2 (the car) where absorbers where made, and use those selection names on the vertices in Landcontact lod ("levy zadni tlumic", etc). Then read the Commentedconfig to find the right attributes on how to tune the shock absorbers. From v 1.85 (or 1.9), there was added a value for editing the nosewheel steering (to help bigger plane taxiing). Dont remember the exact lines, but it was announced by Suma on this forum somewhere (seach). Try reducing mass to help the plane to respont to braking faster. You can also tune the brakedistance some more together with some of the other values (landingCof-someting, i think..) brsseb

Hi Got a problem; not sure how to use the SetObjectTexture function properly. Can anyone give me an example or description of this command since its very little documented, especially we need to know what the first parameter means. brsseb (and rubble maker)

I have front, back and brake lights on one of my cars, but I dont have any selection named "svetlo PP" like that. See the demo Jeep p3d file for more info. There there is only one seleciton name for the brake light plane, and both rear and front light are under a single selection "zadni svetlo". Its strange, but it works perfect. So open up the Jeep.p3d from the demo and have a look brsseb

Hi Had the error message myself a while ago, but that was related to my rocket models. Anyways, I think the problem occurs because you have "panzerLeo2A4" in CfgModels  instead of the "sw_panzer" name used for the rest of the config. That is not critical wrong, as it does compile and no muzzleflash error occurs because the folder the addon is in is called "panzerLeo2A4" Try changing it to sw_panzer too, just in case. Should leave you witn no need to specify a modelSpecial=""; line. (by second thought, you now also need to have both the folder and the p3d file named sw_panzer, or muzzleflash bug occurs..But thats no problem if you dont plan to have more models into the same pbo) brsseb

Hi there. I cant give you a strait answer, but im trying to do the same thing. I have made a simple p3d file with a box-shape that have a rtm animation (just a box spinning).

Hi there Sorry for not updating this post for a while. Dont worry the project is WELL under way. Look at my page for more info and pics: ofp.info/brsseb The comanche is at alphastage and about, hmmm, say 70% complete? Yes thats about it. Done January/february we hope. More info to come. BRSSEB

Hi there. BRSSEB here. THe DKM mods comanche look ok, but i feel that ours looks much more realistic (aka more accurate to the blueprint), and with hte current texture it looks like something you find in a toystore with a "made in taiwan" sticker on it...(just kidding, there , DKMMod, i love you guys. I have learned ALOT of studying your p3ds and configfiles, owe you guys everything! but anyways.. I think its no problem that there are 3 comanches in the works (actually just two, heard BAS had trouble with theirs due to lack of time and dedication). We hope to have the best rah though ( ) ), especially due to our custom weapon systems (and working MFD panels with 6+ screens, GPS map, and more firepower than Irak). But im sure that both rahs will be worth having since each will have their own ups and downs, I`m sure. We havent set a release date yet (so please DONT ask for release dates or betas). Keep up the good work DKM-MOD! brsseb

You really need a tutorial on how to use blueprints when modelling with polygons? Well, in any case there is a number of tutorials aimed at 3ds max, teaching you how to model a car from start to finish , remember one AudiTT and one BMW Z3 (cant give you a links, since all of them seems to be dead). But most of the deal with NURBS modelling and the likes and therefore at little use for us poly-makers. Btw, if it helps, i think ColonelKlint gave away some hint and tricks about blueprints at the start of his planetutorial (the piper Cheyenne) brsseb
