1) Where would I go to edit a static structure/building's burn time and flame size? I have been through the StructTable.sht countless times and have experimented with the "fire = (?, ?)" values associated with the different structure files and have done the same for their corrosponding "... _crush" files without success. 2) How am I able to add the shockwave effect (as seen in the static object "Tank" explosion) to another object or vehicle? I have successfully replaced the "... _crush" .cmd and .LOM files (Bazar\terrain\structures\High) of several structures with the "Bak_crush" file used for the "Tank". I have also added the line "expMass = 0.2" to these other buildings and still no luck. 3) Is it possible to replace an "active" ground vehicle's explosion effect with the much more explosive effect of the static ground vehicles? It would be nice to keep the same initial burning effect of the ground vehicles followed by this larger explosion.

While flying coop missions with my roommate over our LAN connection, the server host is always immortal while the client is not. This happens regardless of the global setting in the option menu of both the host and client and continues to occur even after new missions are created and saved when both of our settings in the gameplay option menu are identical. Also, "enforcing" certain settings and checking the value box in mission options have no effect whatsoever. No matter what combination we try with the settings, nothing has worked. I have read many posts regarding checking/unchecking the global options setting as well as using mission options to enforce multiplayer settings. Therefore I have concluded that enforceing settings in multiplayer is in fact working to some degree for certain people. However, I have also read numerous posts regarding the inability to disable external views in multiplayer so I know that I am not the only frustrated person. Why is the server host always immortal while the client is always mortal? As mission creator and/or server host do I have control over settings for myself and clients or is this simply not true? Help in any form will be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your help Nick A. Hawkinson
