Uh thats not much. I used 250 meters on blackhawk 2 is down 10 meters makes them unable to see u at all? Yeah, 10 metres ain't much - you could just about poke 'em in the eye from that range 250 metres Man you're evil Chavez

Hey Budgie, I thought I must have missed changing the UN guys from default weapons, but I just checked mission 3 and they all have either SA80's or standard Ghost weapons If you're sure they have AK47's (which means the Ghosts will have them too) maybe it has something to do with the other mod you're using - not sure Try running BoB with just DS active and see what happens. I'll be interested to hear how you get on. Cheers, Jack EDIT: Just checked missons 4 and 7 as well and yes there are a number of actors that I have mistakenly given the wrong kits to - oops You can

Eh Señor "Knife", ¡no hay de que! Mucho gusto servirle Yeah the music of Manu Chao I chose for the latino sound rather than the subject matter - I don't figure too many will understand the lyrics Wow you played it thru quick Glad you enjoyed it

Sorry if someone else has already posted this. Tickled my fancy though

Chilling isn't it Thank goodness they only use them rocket thingies against armour, eh

Hehe, I never thought of that I suppose I've always used VehicleLoadPlatoon for boats rather than EnterVehicle, which is why I haven't seen it...

Wow what a review Thankyou - I, I, er...dunno what to say really . . . Perhaps I had just better get on with that new campaign I've already started Love that mission 4 summary, Rocky - I might have to put you on the payroll Humbly, Jack

You could just use a Win9x boot disc and format from the a: prompt - unless the drive is formatted NTFS. It may not work in that case, not sure. I always set my system up as dual boot. Then when I need to re-install XP I just boot into Win98 and delete all the WinXP directories leaving behind 'My Documents' and any other directories I want to save ( like GR ) - you still have to re-install GR but all your mods will still be there.

The last way you tried is fine - it must be looking for a file it can't find. No joy from your Ike.log? It should tell you what it is. The only way I know of to get it to use only your kits starting from -01 is to mod the kit path in the actor files to point to your mods kit directories. Cheers, Jack ps: did you get my last mail re the community expansion?

There's a rumor going around that he just uploaded it so it must be getting close

I'm a bit surprised This game is simply awesome IMO - I find it hard to stop playing it! I'm on my 4th run thru the camapaign in almost as many weeks. What's more it is so different in the way it plays compared to GR that it doesn't replace GR in any way for me. I don't play much MP for a number of reasons, not least of which is that even with broadband the pings to overseas servers are generaaly too high. However the other day I joined in a hostage rescue co-op game on ubi - I had no idea who I was with but it was really amazing because I wasn't familiar with the maps being used, so I jus

Hi Maxwell, I am not familiar with the tutorial you are doing but in a general sense this what you would do: In the Responses part of your DemoChargePlaced block select the FlagSet response. On the Flag tab click Edit > type in the name of the flag (demo charge placed) > Click add > click Close > select the Flag you just created from the drop down list. The state will be True by default. Select StopIf from the Response drop down list > Click Edit on the Condition tab > select GetFlagState from the drop down list > select the flag 'Debris 01 Fired' (which yo

This is true only for vehicles that don't need a driver. It takes a default speed which is approx the same as (GR) walking speed - about 2 or 2.5, I imagine. This is useful if you want to use the Follow plan as you will know the actors will be able to keep up!

In fact drivers don't necessarily have to be in their own team. Just tick the driver box in the EnterVehicle plan for the team you want to ride in the truck and one of them will be selected as the driver. You can give the plan to the vehicle anytime and as soon as it has a driver it will execute it. Cheers, Jack

Basically the difference is that you would use hostage for a friendly and captive for an enemy. Hostages will carry and use weapons to defend themselves (albiet reluctantly) after they have been secured. As such enemy will attempt to kill them after they have been secured. Prisoners won't carry weapons and neither side will try to kill them. If you use hostage for an enemy actor then your AI squad will kill him. Why your captive won't follow when you bump him I'm not sure - I have never had that problem. It is worth noting that using invisibility will sometimes cause erractic behaviour

Hehe, that is very funny The truth is he is a clone

This is second prison mission I take it, Saving Pilot Ryan: Reprise? There is a note in the readme about this - occassionally NPC's just won't do what they're damn well told! - esp. when it comes to driving vehicles. You could try restarting the mission from the beginning, not a quick save point. If the problem persists you may have to resort to the autowin cheat - type autowin at the console (keypad Enter key). Sorry about that - I did manage to make it a lot more robust for version 2.0 but it sounds like there is still a small problem there. Cheers, Jack

As always those missing files will cause a crash. Not sure why the server can't find them if you have checked that they are definately there. Maybe an IP conflict There's a guide on setting up multiple servers here Jack

Agreed! At first I was a bit dubious about these new rules but with hindsight they may turn out to best thing to happen to F1. There are so many variables now it's unlikely anyone will completely run away with the championship. And you couldn't say that it wasn't an exciting race last night

If no one has helped you out yet m8, throw it my way and I'll take a butchers hook for ya

Yeah for sure I'll sit up tonight and watch it - always do. Sadly though, even though I love to drive Catalunya - virtually - it is one of those tracks with few overtaking opportunities resulting in sometimes very boring races. Jack

Yes, it's like what hero2zer0 says. If it's crashing at the briefing screen then almost certainly you are trying to load the wrong type of image into briefing shots or map. It is quite easy to get them around the wrong way if you're not careful. The occassional crash from not having a briefing.wav was fixed in the recent patch. Cheers, Jack

This would do it, if that's what you're after? Trigger Event: A company loop is ready to process NextCompany. Responses: Allow this block to be reactivated. Continue executing responses if (NextCompany is not equal to (The first active company)). Set NotTheFirstActiveCompany to NextCompany. Prevent this block from being reactivated.

FWIW I had more joy with graffiti font as a search term. Cheers, Jack

Yeah sorry about the delay - I'm also turning up a few MP issues so I want to get those sorted first. Jack
