Probs in Brothers in Arms

I hope this is the proper section for this post.

Im playing Jack57's mod for almost the whole weekend, and on sunday evening around 11:00 im stuck . For not ruining my weekend, the mod Brothers in Arms is as all his other sublime imo and make it a great weekend thusfar, id like to complete the campaign.

Im in M09, where you need to assasinate the general in an APC with democharges. You trigger the explosion by pressing the commandmap key (L-shift) twice. Not for me. I can plant the charges, tried every key, cannot trigger it. Anyone can help me out?

Ive already reset all settings to default.

Further specs;

GR2, DS, IT, all latest patches

W2000 pro

Thanks!

Wish i could help but i couldn't finish that mission either. For some reason i always got stuck viewing one of the cut scenes, the mission carried on without me but all i could do was stare ahead without moving. I ended up using the autowin cheat to pass that mission. (Couldn't even set the charges let alone detonate them!)

Hi guys This is the first report I've had of this problem

BlueRose, when you double tap the left shift key do you see the UI interface flash twice briefly? You should also hear the UI sound. If not, it may mean the command is not mapped to that key. You could try using one of the other UI command keys like the Tab key. Also the two taps have to be done quite quickly for it to work.

Cheers, Jack

do u have XP?

When in widows, attack the shift key.

A crazy noise is made, and a window talking about Sticky Keys is shown.

Turn sticky keys OFF, then try

Hi guys, thanks for the fast reply.

@Jack; First i had my keys remapped, and had Lalt mapped as the 'm' key. This didnt work so i set my keys to the original settings. The UI flashes indeed twice, briefly. Comes up while pressing and goes away when i release the lalt key. As for the sound, i dont remember. Unfortunately im till the 24th not on my GR-computer so i cant check.

@Silent; im running Windows 2000 pro, so that shoudnt be the problem.

@Slaughter; do you mean the movie at the start of the mission? It runs a bit slow on mine also. When its done, i can play the mission, plant the charges, but not detonate them.

I hope this will work out. Further; I really enjoyed the mod. Especially M08 were you have to escort Guevarra to the extraction point. Excellent scripting with the landing of the US troops by helicopter . Thanks for all Jack

@Silent: im on XP but I disabled Sticky Keys a while ago.

@BlueRose: yeah it's the movie at the start of the mission. The convoy moves ahead really sloooowly but eventually the video ends. Then I was ok for a few seconds and then a second movie seems to start up and I never "get out" of that one. Screen is locked in position and i can't move but i can hear the vehicles moving and so on. I couldn't figure it out anyways, maybe Im being punished for owning a Dell. (Like i haven't suffered enough already)

@Jack 57: Im not trying to put down your mod or anything, it was enjoyable as were all your others. It was just disappointing not being able to play that mission properly is all.

@ slaughter

Im not familiar with the second movie . Youve got a kit with AT selected? That wont work.
