I don't agree with allowing clients free use of Lua exports. The server should decide whether client scripts can be used, but as I hear it is now, clients can run anything except for world objects. What about radar data? Regardless, IMO the server should decide everything to be exported, no exceptions.

It seems to be the mom.dll file. The mom.dll file HAS to be in the path you installed to. Anyways this doesn't help us much ;)

Thanks Hawg and Killer! hmm... I never had this runtime error. The thing is, I always backed up my entire lockon folder, and with both 1.02 and 1.1 I could run the backed up version from another folder. Anyways, just tested renaming the main folder, and I had a runtime error, so ty Killer ;) . it must have been some DLL's in the main folder that the backup was using. I'll add a folder swap function.

Has anyone tried FSAutostart for both? I started working on this Lockon Launcher yesterday and I thought I'd get it out anyways for someone to try, if it works, cool, if not, it was fun ;) We'll see...

From the help file: Hyperlobby Fix: =================== 1) Start Hyperlobby. 2) If you do not connect automatically, skip to step 4 3) If you connect automatically, go to the CONNECT / SELECT GAME option in Hyperlobby, then disconnect. 4) Holding down SHIFT and CTRL, click on CONNECT. HL will ask you for the path to Lockon.exe, so give it the NEW path to where you placed the LockOn Launcher exe, the new Lockon.exe. UBI Fix: =================== 1) Start UBI Lobby. Join the Lock On Channel. 2) Once you are in the Lock On channel, click on Options, then Lobby Settings. 3) Click on the Lock On tab, then click Detect, then click Manual. 4) Browse for the folder where the LockOn Launcher Lockon.exe is. Hosting ==================== If you want to host in both UBI and HL: 1) Start HL 2) Start UBI 3) Host a mission in HL, LockOn Launcher will come up but don't click LAUNCH yet. 4) Host a mission in UBI. Another LockOn Launcher window will come up but say "LockOn Launcher is already running". Leave both LockOn Launcher Windows open, then click LAUNCH. PS: You really only need Lockon Launcher for either HL or UBI, not both. One or the other, or both, it all works.

LockOn Launcher Version 0.9 Beta http://www.fileshack.us/files/591/LoLauncher.zip

Ok Hawg, I read your post, and this program works similar to how you described (the first description), with a few differences. I tried not to make this program too large or too demanding, for reasons such as performance, etc. To me, the smaller, the better, expecially when you're trying to squeeze everything out of your PC for Lockon. The program I made is called Lockon.exe. It needs to be called Lockon.exe for HL and UBI to run it. It is not in the Lockon folder so you do not rename the original Lockon.exe. So, Hyperlobby or UBI's options would have to be "reset" to point at the new Lockon.exe I made. You won't need both UBI and Hyperlobby to point at this new Lockon.exe, since you only need to "fool" either HL or UBI. Anyways, this might not make sense now, I'll fix up my program for download and you can see for yourself. PS: Hawg, the program could be made to "automate" both HL and Ubi, but that's a bit more work and for version 2 I believe ;). I'm currently stuck using a 9 year old compiler/linker because MS VS .Net won't install correctly.

I have a dumb question ;) Is this the default path for Lockon 1.0? C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\Eagle Dynamics\Lock On\Lockon.exe Also here's what the GUI looks like: [EDIT]This is good for anyone who has 2 separate copies of Lockon (beta, 1.1 or 1.02). Let me know if there's anyone who has more than 2 versions of Lockon and would like me to add functionality. This thing works at the moment but I'm just testing atm.

Yep it works. I made a program about six months ago that logged flight hours in the Lockon jets, and it launched Lockon.exe. Also, HL launched my FLP (flight logging program). So, I found out that HL didn't do all that much process checking after it launched a program by command line. It just waits for whatever program it launched to exit. Hawg (and anyone interested), we talked about having a program that would launch Lockon. I was thinking, the most simple version of this would be a window that would pop up when you join or host in HL or UBI, and it has a button on it called "Launch Lock On". Would we want anything else on this window?

Ok check this out, it might clarify things: An alternative way of hosting a game is to have Hyperlobby point at a lockon.exe that's not lockon. So, when Hyperlobby starts a server, it will open this "other" lockon.exe. Once you see this other lockon.exe, you can launch the real Lock On, go into network and start a server. It will be look as if you hosted from Hyperlobby and people will be able to join by Hyperlobby.

Ok back... Notepad.exe was just an example, pretty much any program will intercept the command line. I'll check out what I can do with BC++ (VS .NET won't install for some reason) to make a program to intercept the command line, maybe even give a choice to start 1.02 or 1.12.

Yes this post again! Hey this is cool, thanks to all who are on the map! It puts a location to all the names we see in here, makes it feel like we get to know each other a bit better ;) I know we have more than 86 people who play 1.1, if you're name's not on the map, please let us know what corner of the globe you're in.

Relating the Su-27 we have in Lockon, what Zhuk radar are we using? Is this the radar: If not I would love to have a pic of the Su-27 radar we have in Lockon (perhaps for my sig :) ).

Guys Hyperlobby starts Lockon by command line. So, I tried this: if you rename lockon.exe to something like Lockon REAL.exe and copy notepad.exe to your lockon folder, rename notepad.exe to Lockon.exe, it should work. So, when Hyperlobby opens, make sure it points at Lockon.exe, not Lockon REAL.exe, then when you host or jump in a game, it will start up notepad, and as long as notepad is open, it will look like you're ingame in HL. Also, I'm pretty sure UBI starts Lockon by command line also. [EDIT]Woh need some coffee this looks confusing lol brb does this make sense?

Thanks britgp! S!

I'm not sure what you mean by "it would not let me reconfigure". You mean, you could not go into your options->input and set your axes?

Thanks Weta, awesome info! Yeah, I'm looking for good prices on the X800 XL, but so far I found it around cdn$ 400+ where the 6800 GS goes for cdn$ 270. If the prices were lower for the X800 XL, I would definately go ATI. About overclocking, mobo stuff: does anyone know how FSB Spread Spectrum affects LO? I had to default all my settings yesterday, and FSB Spread Spectrum is on now, and my fps is up a bit more than usual. It's quite possible it's something else, but just wondering. http://www.rojakpot.com/showFreeBOG.aspx?Lang=0&bogno=115

Even when the awacs banks, you lose coverage. It's cool.

Yeah Strikemax, S! for all the hard work on that Flanker! I can only imagine how much time it took to make that. Does ED manually edit the models to reduce their LOD, or do they have software that does that automatically?

Sounds good Shaman! I've considered this, but I have to say, my mobo doesn't have a good reputation for overclocking (Chaintech 7NJL6). So I would need a good way to measure stability. I have used Prime95 on it extensively, with the current settings and it seems rock solid with the settings now, but in Lock On I sometimes still get lockups. So I would need something that would only test my CPU/Memory, right? The thing is, I suspect it's my old 9600 causing Lockon to crash my system.

Sorry Hawk, what plane? The russian planes need to be constantly trimmed, so if the plane's nose goes up or down for different speeds, that's normal. Now, if the plane rolls all the time to one side or the other, that's not normal (unless you've been hit by a missile or something).

haha I know this thread has 2 threads in it, but referring to the mouse thread: I agree with Sleek, the MX 518 is an awesome mouse for the price! Imagine, I was playing BF2 with a ball mouse before. Now I can snipe from long range with the G36C and the L85. About the helo's, the actual day 1.12 came out, before I downloaded the patch, I made a single player mission where a Ka-27 would take off from a Kuznetzov. The game would immediately crash once the chopper would start lifting off. I haven't tested it yet in 1.12 but I imagine it works now.

Ah this is awesome! BUMPski I think this was actually started in the Russian Forums but I'm not sure why there were only a few on the map when I found it.

Thx for the reply Evil! Yeah, good points. Yeah if it runs Lockon only marginally better, it won't be worthwhile. Something to think about...

Did not know we got the F-111... very cool!
