  1. So Rocky ... is the party at your house?
  2. Sounds great CC. Awesome, really looking forward to the mod.
  3. Unfortunately true. I put the link so folks could see the front page. Maybe some of our Army-type might have access and fill us in.
  4. I was at Schofield Barracks yesterday. Imagine my surprise to see "'Ghost Recon' New Game Lets You See Future Gear in Action" on the latest Army Times. http://www.armytimes.com/story.php?f=1-ARM...per04172006.php Just 3 more weeks till GRAW:PC.
  5. I wish that were possible, but the GR engine doesn't allow it. Which is why I had to come up with the OPFOR mini-mods to change the AI enemies. It sucks that the server has to go down so that the OPFOR mod can be activated, but it's the only way to go about it. Unfortunately I'm not familiar with MP but I definitely know its possible, but a drawn out process, in SP. I worked with Jack57 on Brothers in Arms where the player was a rebel in Panama fighting against the Ghosts. With the YOTM team's approval, its basically replacing the standard soldier CHRs with the VC CHRs, creating ne
  6. Who knows in a patch but anyone familiar with the GR1 or Rainbow Six / Rogue Spear series knows there is usually an expansion in the works. I agree. If memory serves me right, it was the dedicated modders who added the flying helos. And what about some of those modder-created maps & campaigns? A lot of good stuff out there. Of course, it was RSE's forethought to include IGOR so the game didn't go stale.
  7. I did 24 years ... mainly surface, flying, & subs mostly in the Caribbean, CENTAM, SOAM, SEAsia & the PAC. To all those concerned, I'm sure "gulf01" meant excellent work to the mod team. I don't wish to claim credit as I wasn't involved in this project; but I agree excellent work guys.
  8. Not to highjack the thread, the original H&D was really buggy but there were definitely some maps & missions that would have been great for GR1. HD2 fixed alot of the H&D problems but as in any game, including our beloved GR1, some things could have been better. Blending the two views does have its good or bad points depending on your viewpoint (no pun intended). The FPWV gives you the more realistic LOS but OTS does give you that life-saving advantage for peeking around corners.
  9. Hidden & Dangerous II (HD2) had FPW & OTS views but the weapon was normally at the carry in the far lower right corner of the screen in the FPW view. The weapon was not in your face until you brought it up to fire using your iron-sights or scope. In fact, there was an on-screen crosshair which allowed you to fire most weapons (not sniper rifles) from the hip in an emergency. Anyway, the soldier would lower the weapon back to the carry after a short delay if you were no longer firing. HD2 gameplay and the missions were quite good & challenging. Unfortunately the game was no
  10. Kudos to the mod team. RL has limited my time with the mod but I haven't had any probs with any of the skins or missions that I've tried so far. [bTW, try the Cuban beach house mission (ARVN 10) with VC OPFOR & you have proof Charlie DOES surf. Or they at least have surfboards.] I've read the replies and I've worked on many mod projects during the past 3 years (mainly with Sixpence & Jack57) so I know the time & trouble spent even putting a "simple" skin mod together. Anyway, here are a couple thoughts: - I think many folks thought they'd be able to play as ARVN, ANZA
  11. You could always check out ESIII:Morrowind. Look for the GOTY Edition since it already includes both the Bloodmoon & Tribunal expansions. The graphics are circa 2002 but there is a lot of good gameplay there and that's before third-party mods. Don't know if you get Computer Games magazine (www.cgonline.com) in the UK but they gave writeups in this month's edition (April 2006) on about 20 various Morrowind mods in their Mods & Ends section. Hope the info helps. Aloha.
  12. First off, it's difficult to say whether it is directly a Windows issue? Each has its own idiosyncracies but depending on your response to the following questions, we can determine whether its more hardware or software-related. Okay, time to put those VA-paid college computer courses to work. BTW, please don't get offended by the questions but it is important from my point-of-view since I don't know how much you've done. - Going through the motions: What happened? Were there any screens? Error messages? Was this system working before you inserted the diskette? - OS: Which version ar
  13. Iggy, did a quick websearch and they are $110 from the manufacturer. http://medusa-usa.com/
  14. Ooo ... ahhh. The perks of being an international celebrity.
  15. Yeah, I guess it could be worse.

    Database error?

    Relax and have a pint mate. You can always say it was my shout. If I learned anything going to college in Oz it was the importance of visiting the pub. No worries. She'll be right mate.

    Database error?

    I guess they couldn't wait another year until April Fools. Mahalo (thanks) for quick response Rocky you know we appreciate your hard work.

    Database error?

    I got the following error when I tried to send a reply. Luckily after a couple refreshes my reply was still there. mySQL error: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (11) mySQL error code: Date: Sunday 02nd of April 2006 09:56:28 AM
  19. Some people just have way too much time on their hands or maybe not enough since the mod won't get done. And I was so looking forward to the mod.
  20. Ah c'mon CC, you can tell us the truth. The gear is so classified the censors wouldn't let you show it.
  21. A-ha. So the truth comes out and now we know where the supporter money is really going to.
  22. Not Hawai'i ... we've had solid rains for over a month. Flashfloods, etc. Thunderstorms outside right now.
  23. Sweet pics CC. Definitely looking forward to the mod.
