I must be looking in the wrong place. Which thread is the official ECP thread? The first page this thread contains dead links, to OFPEC and Toadlife. Having searched I can't find any other thread which looks even vaguely "official". So I'm stuck. The official ECP thread has the links to the patch and fountain fix, according to Snafu, but the thread I found has dead links.

While playing 1.99 update #3 today I got the error "Picture rus_vlajka_texture.pac not found", at the beginning of the mission "Incursion". I never saw that message while playing v1.96. I don't know if it's related to the way I escaped in the previous mission - this time around I didn't bother waiting for nightfall, but instead grabbed an AK74 and started blazing away, before stealing the Hind (I managed to waste both pilots before they boarded) and flying home. It's the first time I've done it this way instead of waiting until nightfall and navigating by the stars. That might be a red herring, though. It seems that this might not be a new error, though: http://www.k-foren.de/showthread.php?t=10627 suggests this error was also encountered back in 2001 (or so Google Translate tells me). Will this be fixed in update #4? If not, is there anything I can do to fix it? Can I copy a file from my GotY CDs or the v1.96 patch?

Well, that's pretty straightforward. Thanks for the advice. I'll do it now.

So I was editing the wrong file. Fair enough. I think where I might have been going wrong was not remembering that the Campaigns\FDFMOD_campaign.pbo file contained all the mission directories and files, and needed to be extracted first. Having extracted the contents of that file I can see many more mission.sqm files to edit, the existing contents of which make more sense than that of the one I found in Winter Nogojev. ---------- Post added at 12:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:23 AM ---------- That did the trick. Thanks for the pointer.

I'm coming back to OFP, er, I mean CWA, after a long break, so my recollection of what goes where is a bit hazy, but I'm getting there. I only just now remembered the trick of putting the mods in separate folders beginning with "@" and using a launcher to load only the mods I want, to reduce the risk of problems. I've installed FDF 1.3 and overwritten the mod directory with the contents of the 1.4 archive. I've also downloaded the Russian Weapons Pack and Winter Nogojev, and extracted them to OFP\finmod\addons. The only mission.sqm I can find is in finmod\addons\KEGnoecainS_anim\intro.kegnoecain_snow. It contains four addons[]={}; arrays, one in each of the four sections class Mission, class Intro, class OutroWin, and class OutroLoose [sic]. Not having a background in programming, I'm unsure how to edit the addons[]={}; arrays. I've tried addons[fdf_worlds]={};, addons["fdf_worlds"]={};, addons[]={fdf_worlds};, and addons[]={"fdf_worlds"};, all to no avail. I even, using http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Mission.sqm as a template, tried this: addons[]= { "fdf_worlds" }; Where am I going wrong? Am I using the wrong syntax? Am I editing the wrong file? Is the file in the wrong location?

I, too, would like to extend my thanks to Bohemia Interactive for this. Over the years I've bought CWC, RH (or Gold), Resistance, and GotY twice (I lost it so I bought it again). It's nice to see the developers still taking an interest after all this time. Today I thought, "I haven't played OFP in a while; let's dig it out and have another go." I couldn't remember if my GotY copy included the v1.96 patch (it does, as it happens) so I searched online and found the v1.99 release. Superb! I can download the full game for free, and all I need is my existing GotY license key? How cool is that? Thank you, BIS! Only one problem: CWA doesn't include Red Hammer. I quite like Red Hammer; it's funny in a way that CWC and Resistance aren't, and it makes me laugh. I've never noticed any show-stopping bugs in RH, and it's fun to play. I uninstalled CWA and installed GotY from CD, then installed CWA over GotY, in the same directory. Red Hammer is now an option in the Campaigns menu. Hurrah! I noticed an odd thing. If I install CWA in its own directory then the game loads to the main menu without any errors. If I install CWA over the top of an existing GotY installation, the error "Resource title CWA not found" is displayed after the BIS and Codemasters splash screens. If I use the "-nosplash" parameter in the shortcut, the game loads the main menu without any errors. What causes that "Resourse title CWA not found" error? Should I have installed CWA over the top of GotY? If I want to play RH would I just be better off installing CWA in its own directory and then copying the necessary .pbo files from GotY to CWA?
