Weird error in "Recon"

Post by Hacker » 2003-05-19 13:08:44

During this mission, an OFP error message appears.

'damage |#| invalid number.....'

Does anybody know, what this means? I didn't notice any effects on gameplay, but I thought, as damage is something bad (and sometimes good), I'd post it here...

Its fixed now, along with the flight patch. Will appear on the next version.

What did this error mean, in fact?

In the early OFP versions like v1.30 and 1.46 you could use "damage" variable, but sometime later in the OFP patches (like 1.75 or so) BIS added some usage for "damage" and now when its used like: damage=true; we get error.

Had to change it to dmghelo=true; hehe.

And again a problem with "Recon"...

When I radio 0-0-2 to call in the UH-60, nothing happens. I cleaned the whole town and its surroundings - nothing. Got back to my starting point - nothing, except for a sniper who blew my head off...

I got REALLY mad at that point - hope you can imagine this

Can you help me with that one? What is supposed to happen and where should this Black Hawk be after the radio call?
I'll look into this.

Again - nothing happens...

Got myself a UAZ and drove into our home base - the UH-60 was just sitting there doing nothing. ???

Well I cannot fix this mission any more than this, if it works on my OFP v1.91 installation at tbird 1.3ghz, 512mb ram, gf2 gts, sb live value! setup, then there is not much I can do about it.

So if http://www.pmctactical.org/ofp/download ... 0b.r17.rar wont work for you, only thing remaining is to do endmission cheat.
