Hi There,
     I have about 60 some different maps in my minimod I've been working on.  Some of them are just 1, single .rfa file, like Mimoyecques.rfa, and they work Just Fine over Coop Mode over a LAN/online, but not every map with just one file works over a network.  Then I'm noticing that a lot of my maps with 003 or 005, etc. .rfa files (like El_Rajhi_Pass_003.rfa) don't work over a LAN game/online, but they still work in singleplayer mode, or coop mode with only one person playing (the host).

     Any idea what this might be?  I was thinking that I should just make a 003 file for every map I have in the mod, but is there a Correct way of making one?  Are there Specific files and folders, and/or specifically different scripts that must be in each file to make the map work in coop over a LAN/online?

Thank You,

Professor Smith

I mainly just need to find out what 3 main scripts mean and do.  I can probably figure the rest out by myself:

First:  AnimationStateMachine.copyState weapon_name_here v_arg1

Second:  AnimationStateMachine.copyState2 weapon_name_here v_arg1

Third:  include copyToallWeapons.inc weapon_name_here

Any ideas??  Does anyone have any ideas???

Professor Smith

Look, just because I used material from your mod and others, doesn't mean I haven't done any work.  I have changed almost EVERY SINGLE script within EVERY SINGLE object, effect, etc. okay??  So please stop calling my mod a copy-paste mod, unless you want to start a fight, and just help me, please.

Thank You,

Professor Smith

Thank You; anything you can give me would be very helpful.

- Does it matter which order in which the line:

"game.addmodPath Mods/[Mod Name]/"

must go in my mod's init file?  Which mods should be read from first thru last?

- When that line above is placed into the init.con file, how will I know what .rfa files, and what objects, and such will be read from each different mod?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- What happens (in detail) when my mod reads off of your's, if some of the scripting lines/commands are the same, and some are different in my versions of your vehicles, objects, etc. (i.e. keeping the original models, etc., but not all of the original scripting)?

- Another example of what I'm talking about is the fact that FH modders changed the scripting almost completely themselves, making regular bf1942 vehicles not able to damage, collide with, etc. the FH vehicles.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- Some maps are still crashing to the desktop, when I am the host, running a local area network game or internet game.  With some maps, this happens when switching from map to map, even though when those same maps are placed at the top of the list of maps you start to play, it loads in just fine.  Any ideas of why this is happening?  It seems as though when I "Alt + Tab" out to the desktop while the maps are switching, then "Alt + Tab" back, it helps to load it, but then randomly, within the middle of the map being played (half the tickets down), it just suddenly CTDs.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Off topic question)

- Is there a way to place the crosshairs in 3rd person view and the line of sight correct for the crosshairs, compensating for the differend angle of the camera?

Lobo, what was the number limit that FH reached.  Do you remember?

Professor Smith

     If you talk to Lobo yourself, just ask him about the Professor_Smith who had a strange way of getting answers on the forum.  He and I were talking for a bit after that, and he gave me every answer he could in helping me get thru previous problems.  Really is a nice guy.  Anyway, as I told him, I had never even checked to see what a mini-mod was until he started explaining it to me (please remember, I spent 5 years off and on, perfecting a mod myself; no modding team, and had to find out a lot of things the hard way).  Anyway, just contact Lobo, and he should know who you're talking about.

     Oh, and by the way, I tried converting a different map recently to my mini mod, and it loads up all the way to the ready screen, but then CTD as well.  The debugger says that there is an "Unknown kit part", but it doesn't list in which kit this unknown part is.  I think it is interference from one of the other mods.  Is there a way to decide what my mini mod uses out of the original mods, and what it doesn't use?
