I have never seen a truck with a 50cal on top in DCS before. :-/ Whicn ones are there? All I see is transport.

Sorry, I have no idea about the ranges or how you can find it out... Detection and engagement range are two different things as well and I think they partially depend on the "skill" level of the unit. You can try working with "ROE", rules of engagement settings. You can use them as triggered actions. :)

I use winRar to do all the file transfers since it does it in real time. Just open the miz file with Winrar and drag and drop files back and forth. I will test again and pay close attention I don't **** up. Do you also get a SMALLER "mission" file after running your script? EDIT: It works now. I have no idea why but I guess I ****ed up one of the file transfers. Anyway, thanks a lot man.

Nope, gives me an error. I think it would be faster error detection if you did some testing yourself. I attached the mission I use to test out this script. It's just an empty plane and 20 tanks nearby. Maybe this will help you find issues faster? :) 00000.000 INFO VFS: Using 'Saved Games': "C:\Users\Andrej\Saved Games" 00000.057 UNKNOWN main: locale: en EN 00000.163 UNKNOWN main: me_db_api creation

Roger, thanks.

Nice stuff man. I remember doing the start up lesson at least 5 times in a row to try and memorize everything. Also - sleeping helps. Learning n stuff. Congratz, now it's time to learn combat procedures, hahaha.

Hehehe.

Ah, grimes thank you. Oh wow, I can't make anything of this. :-/ Can you help me out man? I'll provide the mission file BEFORE I run the script and AFTER. The edited file is also much, much smaller than the original file. :-/ missionFiles.zip

Continuously? Why not just once?

Canadian actually. :-D

Yep, it's single core. But I am not sure whether the upgrade is is worth it. http://www.anandtech.com/bench/Product/510?vs=647 Also - DCS is very CPU intensive. I have a 6870 and while about 70% of low FPS are due to my GPU not being fast enough, I am sure your 6970 does much better and maybe for YOU the CPU is the bottle neck? Who knows. Why do you want to grab an Nvidia card? You can probably get a faster AMD card for that money. I am not sure on this but this has been the case forever, haha. EDIT: That benchmark site above is pretty awesome. Click around. I just found out a lot of cool stuff, haha. Make sure to check out the 7950 card, it's pretty good. Weirdly enough some cards dominate in certain games and then it's the other way around for OTHER games... Like the 660ti owning the 7950 in battlefield 3 but in many other games the 7950 is faster. Weiiird. If I had the money I would always go with AMD, because I dislike nvidias business overall. But it is of course up to you completely.

Hold on, do you mean I can create my own view configs , graphics configs etc. in the saved games folder and it will override what's in the main game folder?

Great script! Awesome! I found out: Download luaForWindows, open the editor or use LExecutor, put in the "SampleRenameUnits.lua" file, give it the full path to your mission file, execute/run (F5 in the editor) and the mission file will be changed. :) Then put mission file back into mission miz and done! Also, intCharacters is not setting the SUFFIX but the PREFIX of the unit's new names. I got a problem though. After running the script I can not save the mission in the mission editor anymore when I change something. The save button keeps "pressed". If I try to exit the editor via the red exit button it asks me if I wanna save the mission. If I hit "yes" nothing happens. If I hit "no" I get back into the main menu but obviously the mission is not saved. Puddlemonkey, what is going on there? :-/ Is it a mistake on my part?

I also learned something, hehe. If client is not ingame -> unit counts as dead. Good to know. :) No need for multple zones now.

Mh, when playing arma2 with some hardcore real life soldier dudes we never stopped a convoy, unless we were 150% sure of being capable to deal with the threat. Usually - push through and DRIVE DRIVE DRIVE as fast as you can, haha. That's how I learned it. If there is anything wrong with it - please tell me. I am eager to learn. :) In my missions I always tend to uncheck the "disperse when under fire" command. It just makes it so much more challenging.

Oh boy, please no "what's better" thread. :( There is no real "better". Just set yourself a BUDGET, your maximum amount of money you wanna spend. Then look for the fastest SINGLE core graphics card you can find and grab it. The differences between nvidia and AMD for DCS are barely noticable, especially if you know what you're doing configuring drivers/software etc. to work FOR you. For example - nvidia users have a lot of options in their driver settings, AMD users have less. But then again if you use tools such as RadeonPRO or nvidia inspector at the end of the day you get more or less the same settings that you can configure as you want. Exuse my bad english. Bottom line is - 1.set budget 2.look for benchmarks of GPUs 3.get fastest single core graphics card 4.profit

Daym, smart!

+1 on this.

Well I tested some in the ME and only the F15-E shows up in the TAD. The F15C does not. So I don't expect anything else to happen in MP.

Sounds nice. :)

87 = shit atm.

Yep, in the online environment each client has it's own group. So you can use: -part of group -all of group -unit (I tend to use this all the time) You can even go super fancy (but very risky) and use: part of coalition (out of zone) but that would mean that every blue unit outside the zone will trigger this. :p So don't use it, haha. But what I am trying to say here is - there are so many different ways to do stuff in the ME, it's crazy.

Mh, interesting. Why do you prefer GSM 6.1 vs. ogg? Thanks.

Well, I know that I am happy. Thanks for all the hard work bro.:thumbup:

Thanks for all the input guys.
