Can't you drive tanks manually from the commander position? I haven't driven one for a long time, but remember it works that way too.

Cool topic. I bought OPFP (last version) months ago to play the Invasion44 and other WWII mods but after a reformat I never re-installed it. I'l have to take the time to do that over this long weekend.

as commander you need to stop, and select "to driver's seat", then motor to your destination manually. The tank driver AI is pretty good, except for following direct orders from a human TC. The AI was trained on a neural network.

100 players in a game? I said 100 AI and human players. OFP is just a regular MP game, and best with under thirty players.

1.94 -- you're not starting it. For the 1.94 patch, you need to run FLASHPOINTBETA.EXE off of the codemasters/ofp directory.

mora, I thought the FDF was the only full on MOD (as opposed to addon) out there? I never downloaded it, partly because Keg kept making fun of our neural net targeting system while we were developing UA.

Anyway, get OFP:R for the addons. Resistance gives us a lot of latitude in terms of things like eventhandlers and scripting, so most of the "cool addons", such as helos with fastroping and dust effects, are for Res.

There's lots of WW2 stuff out there, so much so that there's a WW2 RTS as well, but I just don't know.

Oh yeah, and former RAF 308 member CBFASI is still busy working on the fleet for the Falklands Mod. I wanna code the NGFS.

Every motherf***ing time, the ENTIRE squad gets taken out by a SINGLE f***ing grenade. Then I'm left running around picking up the LAW and the M16 + M203 trying to take out the ZSUs for the Cobras, and end up getting destroyed by the two or three squads of uber commie AI running around. I got so pissed off at those dumb *******s last night I had to go outside and hit rocks with my aluminum baseball bat until one broke it in half. Then I got pissed off at that and went buckwild on a tree stump.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who has to leave the house and blow off some steam when I get frustrated while gaming.

Swoop look in the forums, that's where all the good info is.

I would never do anything like that.

BEEF !!

OFPR is definitely worth it, probably Game of the year addition will be your best deal .

We dont really play OFP, we go on field problems in OFP

Does the Beef still play AH ?

wow Beefy is still alive out there!

I haven't fired up OFP:R in a while due to a nifty green screen and other graphical problems (occasionally). Never happened before, but it decided to kick in a few months ago. I checked the official forums for the "fix" but with no avail. Apparently, it's an ATI issue.

Tactical Gamer = pay? ... my OFP craving needs to be a lot stronger to pay at the moment

I'm currently replaying Deus Ex for the nth time and will pick up DX: Invisible War in a few days.

I'll punt this thread when the OFP craving comes back

It's building. I feel the need to field test 14-round MRSI barrages in a coop setting.

Fired it up yesterday, the bomberman mission is still one of the best gameplay scripts I can recal. Excellent.

Whats the fastest and best way to get into multiplayer with it?

Beefcake · « **Reply #26 on:** December 02, 2003, 11:18:18 AM »

Bah. Life sucks.

Payday finaly arrives and I head off to Wally-Mart only to find OFP-GoY box is gone. I saw it there not more than 2 days ago but aparently they restocked and OFP has been removed. Anyway looks like I'm going to have to order it online which means it's gonna take awhile to get here.

On to AH. I haven't really played AH much since I left. I really have no plans to return until AH2 or new content is added, flying B17 missions can be fun at times but most of the time its just dull and boing. I usually play BF1942 (and many of its mods like FH and DC), Homeworld 2, Starcraft and Warcraft 3, FFXI, PS, and some other games as well. I was hopeing PS would fullfill my need for tatical squad warfare but it failed to do that. In BF1942DC I love to fly the choppers but the flight controlls are not that great, hence where OFP comes in where I can fly choppers well and get my tatical squad combat.

Anyway gotta run, forgive the typos as I'm using one of those tiny Mac keyboards at work.
