Will probably be better to take the time,change all the vehicles out one by one, change the inits I need and dump what I don't.Problem with that is some of the 0.93 vehicle scripts,had big problems with 1,0 and I got init errors all across the top of my screen. I just hoped/thought that maybe there was some magical script that would fix everything. The mod and vehicles are still cool though. CD

For clarity,I'm not asking anyone to do the work for me.The work has already been done probably, and I'm asking if there is anyway to achieve my goal with what is already been written.I can't believe that the jump from crcti0.93 to 1.0 was that big a leap,and that 1.0 was re-scripted from scratch. Both versions probably use the same version game engine and probably will share the same syntax structures.There are so many people changing the crcti missions around these days, so the info must be out there. How does one contact the author? Clean Rock had written at one time a tutorial for his crcti ,but there are only incomplete fragments to be found these days via really old threads. I'm not "unwilling" to learning how to write OFP scripts.But if it means continuing trying to decipher scripts ,and learning syntax,without any kind of starting point, ie tutorial,then yeah ,I don't want to.Am there now.It's futile and time consuming.So I'd be thankful for any helpful suggestions,tips, tutorials or anything other than what I have now,without dogging me,if possible. CD

Did I post in the wrong section? To re-Phrase the question is there any way to "patch" the VTE_crcti0.93 to crcti1.0, without re-writing the whole show. I want the com options in 0.93 to be just like the options in 1.0,while retaining the VTE mod's vehicles and soldiers. To mention a few: Giving AI money, AI earning money,(keep) AI purchasing power,(buy at) Transport duty, Waiting transport, Advance/guard/ patrol areas.......... Not complaining.I only want to take a very cool and overlooked/forgotten mod ,and make it cooler,maybe re-spark peoples interest.I'm not a script writer,not that I can't learn it,just don't have the time,and don't want to.:)(not to mention the fact that I can't seem to find any tutorials on building crcti missions.)

HI All, First, thanks again to Zulu1 for the VTE Crcti. The version Zulu1 gave me is VTE_crcti_0.93. Not complaining, but some are full of bugs.These missions are a few years old and I'm sure these problems were addressed back then.I think part has to do with the version. Question:Is crcti1.0 an upgraded version of crcti0.93? If so, how can I turn my VTE_crcti_0.93 , into VTE_crcti_1.0? CD

Thank you very much, Should have asked weeks ago.Was that easy. We're trying to get some nam stuff up on the server, and maybe revive a little. If you have SEBnam crcti feel free to to tack it on to file front.We will put them both on our ftp eventually. No more time, gotta play. CD

Hi All, Want to ask if anyone knows where crCTI's for the vte mod can still be found Found a lot over google,but all dead links. Been playing around with the ofp mod pack x_vte_v0.3.Wanted to change everything in a crcti ,to only the nam stuff from the vte mod. Ha! Easier said than done.Does anyone know where I can find tutorials on building crcti mission's.Have been on google for weeks only to find nothing. starting to think there are none.Would also settle for a crcti template,blanco,if there is such a thing. CD

Sorry guys, I seem to have confused everyone.The EXT file has not been renamed, and has not been modified or re-written in any fashion.It was only opened with the editor,and the checkbox accidentally was activated,so that will now and forever be opened as editor data.(Datatyp immer mit dem ausgewählten programm öffnen = True,yes O.K. ect...)The problem is now present with all EXT files no matter what mission they are from. I would like to know how to get this back to the original condition of windows not know how to open it. I'm not sure but I think my problem lies with OFP see's all EXT data now as editor data and can't ,or doesn't open any ,therefore the lack of AI combat actions.???? I could easily format my P.C. ,reinstall XP, and all will be back to the basic windows configuration,and the EXT data would again be displayed with an "Unknown" symbol,but I'd rather not if avoidable.

It's still called "desription.EXT",the name was never changed ,but it now has the "Editor" symbol instead of the "Unknown" symbol that windows normally shows.How do I get this back to the "unknown" symbol? Problem is that when he opened "Description.EXT" with the editor, the check box for "Always open these file types as" ,was checked true.Is this my problem?

Hi All. Not sure if I 'm posting in the correct department but here goes. My son was trying his hand at building a CTI mission for OFP.After decompressing a readymade mission,he opened the "desription .EXT" file with windows editor,only he didn't turn the checkbox off :(.Windows see's all EXT files in OFP as editor data.Does OFP also see these files as editor data? Now ,does anyone know how I can fix this? For some reason ,not only his CTI,but all CTI's on my PC ,and the original missions ,there is no fighting.I can just drive to any town res held town and take it. And I can now see my position on all CTI maps (with vehicles and AI,instead of the XY marker after boarding HQ track)whereas I could'nt before. He only did this one mission and for some reason it has effected my complete installation.I deleted/reinstalled OFP, but the problem is still present. His changing the EXT files to be read as Editor data is the only thing I can think of that has caused this. Ravoll aka "CreepingDeath" P:S: Never mind about the "And I can now see my position on all CTI maps (with vehicles and AI,instead of the XY marker after boarding HQ track)whereas I could'nt before."....I was running these missions offline.Is back to normal online.

Was'nt crying doom.Was just wondering,since 6 hours turned into 5 days.Did'nt know if it was maybe a problem on my end.And what good is OFP monitor if my game has no connection to the internet?Can see games all day but can't connect through OFP . Sorry if I offended by starting a new thread.:confused: Won't happen again!

Hi All, Have seen nothing in the threads about the "Gamespy" move to new server or what ever they did.Read 5 days ago that they were moving and change over would take about 6 hours.That was 5 days ago.Gamespy in OFP has not worked since.What's the deal? Did they get changed over?Are they still working on it,or have they dumped OFP all together?

Thanks ,already have this manuel.Is typical of the mfcti's .I need something on th CT And CR CTI's missions. A few specific question: How to set co waypoints When I play I have noticed that the AI comm can generate many more soldiers than "Group numbers" allow.Also when other people play as comm they seem to spawn many more AI than what the total groups allow. I mean for example when you have 10 AI groups with a max of 8 soldiers per group, then there is a possible total of 80 soldiers for AI,but sometimes I see up to 150 team soldiers on the map.A lot of times I see soldiers in game that do not appear as yellow dots on the map. How does one spawn AI into occupied towns. enough for now.

Hi all is there a forum somewhere for CTI comm discussion?Have a few questions on the subject.

Hi all, Was just wondering.How can I start a multiplayer game for ofp.Thing is ,until now I've only played missions I found through Gamespy,meaning I connected to them while they were in the waiting phase.Then you more or less sit around for the better part of an hour in a chat room, waiting on the others to get in gear, only to find out the most don't have the required addons,the map gets changed,or the admins "buddy" shows up to late which all cause a reset.Then your right back to waiting in a chat room till everybody gets it together. I'm tired of this ,and I want to know how I can choose a mission from a server myself,do the admin thing and get the game going. I looked at a list of servers and tried entering the different IP`s into gamespy but nothing ever showed up after I refreshed the list. How do people start these missions.

That`s what I do. I only have the addons that I need for the server/map I'm on. I read in other threads that tabbing out and opening a web page can restore game play.It worked the first time I tried but only lasted a few seconds.After that I could not tab out of OFP anymore.Also read that some firewalls can cause it so I have mine shut down while playing,even though OFP had permission to access the internet. I have noticed that my browser freezes alot when I've been online for a while.When I close the connection and try to reopen my provider software reports that the modem already has a connection running.The only thing that helps is rebooting the modem.
