Hi there VolkssturmGewehr .... 

Can you help me learn the navmeshing ? (PM me).

FH2 has a bigger co-op playerbase than you'd think. (Look at the view count on the threads in the SP/Co-Op forum.)

Yes. Yet there has always been this attitude problem floating around against coop/bot/ai/solo whatever you want to call them players. It's one of the reasons we lost Djinn, Mr. AI enthusiastic cheer leader himself. He dogged me for literally -swear word- years about making a smoke grenade that blocks bot vision. When someone finally put it together and I tested it in game he was no longer around. No news releases on the front page promising improved bot action for coop players (yes, I know the devs have to focus on the MP end of things of course they do). No news releaases highlighting the hard work of FH fans doing unofficial conversions (not that they would want a news release /i cannot speak for them). Now the BFSP forum has discovered how to replicate fire suppression against the AI ! You'd think this would be cause for rejoicing and all round merry making in this forum section. That and the smoke grenade is at the very least an impressive feature for training against bots before going into full blown online human only games (that's the attitude of Project Reality who regard Solo/Coop as a training mode). But so far I'm still feeling that as a Solo FH player I have to stay quiet and stay in the background while MP players get all the "glory". I would always support online MP FH fan's as I can only imagine that the game becomes even more amazing there (there are various reasons I can't play in human only MP games that I won't go into here, but one reason is I sometimes need to pause the game).

I find co-op to be incredibly fun especially the maps I have customized to be more bot/co-op friendly.

Same here. From day 1 FH always had an effect on me that no other game has. The FH "magic".

One of the things I find difficult when fighting bots is their reaction time. They can shoot accurately from the hip, thus in the time it takes a human player to raise iron sights, the bot can already be firing.

You'd think no one has ever seen The Matrix films. Sometimes you have to have the reaction times and bullet dodging skills of Neo.

Then how is that comment useful here ? This fellow wants to play with bots (and/or Coop with bots/humans). I'm telling him he can get a rock steady game using a server. Do you have something against Coop/Solo play ? Because I certainly would not criticise playing online with your "humans with brains" as you put it. We're all here to have fun in what ever way.

I am constantly getting CTD on co-op Sammatus maps with bots, both 16 and 64. It happens always when I select a weapon and click to join the game, regardless of the amount of bots, selected weapon, and team. My game version is 3.4.666. There is no error message, BF2 just closes suddenly. Any leads?

I've read there could be some AI bugs with stationary weapons causing this type of crash.

There are so few WW2 FPS games which deal with the Continuation War and Winter War, so I'd really like to play those FH2 maps!

Are you starting a game from inside the client (BF2 game menu) ? I have CTD's myself when I start a game this way.  jan_kurator is right ... either join a coop server on the internet that has bots or run your own server on your local network and connect to that which is what I do. I have found Coop games started this way to be rock solid apart from the occasional map that really does have a bug and will crash server side as well, in which case it should be reported to Darman (Forgotten Maps and unofficial bot support for latest FH maps).

Is this stickied post still valid ? Due to RL concerns I have not been attending to this bug tracker. Also FH dev team have their own bug tracker somewhere (never seen it but you must have) which could well be recording any Coop/SP issues by now. If need be I could "resurrect" the bug tracker if it could be useful in any way.

Once had a problem like that with punkbuster verifyong files very slowly. I completely removed and reset my profile in MyDocuments in the FH directory and it fixed the problem. I also verified all BF2 files (if you have the Steam version).

I probably missed the new release for this but I did not know these two extra SP/Coop maps has been added in the patch. so I wanted to give some feed back for the new SP/Coop maps in FH 2.55 ...

Lenino .... friggin amazing ! The bots are all in the trenches AND getting tanks from the rear lines. Sometimes on SP/Coop maps all the tanks end up unused at the back of the lines. Not here. The entire thing erupts into a fierce fire fight and even though I got to the last point before the final German point I was constantly thrown back just when I thought I was going to get an easy win.

Studienka ... LOTS of tanks again. Did not have as much time to play this but it reminds me of an old Battlegroup Frontlines map that has a large bridge. So far looks very good for SP/Coop apart from the AI getting stuck at the long bridge and you have to them a rear shove up the back side and then they start going across  ... I don't know they might use it sometimes as I did not play for very long.

Thanks for the hard work that undoubtedly goes into the navmeshing for these maps 

Hi,

I'm currently troubleshooting a crash I get after playing for a while. Sometimes after about 10 minutes, other times longer as for example in my last game it crashed after an hour and ten minutes.

I can play the same map (Mount Olympus, official version, unmodified) using the FH2 debugger OK.

However the debugger has one problem. Extremely annoying flickering corpse textures ...



Is there a way of fixing that ?

BTW my other mods (for example AIX2 Minimod) in the same installation play without any crashes.

Hi. Is there an updated debugger version of ForgottenHope2_r.exe and its associated files ? Or is that not even necessary or not even possible ?
