Post by: Donnervogel on 05 Apr 2003, 12:27:21: Cool AddOn but I have two problems with the mission. Firstly I can't target any houses in your mission. that makes it pain in the a** to guide the hellfire in the command post. And secoundly when I manage to hit the building nothing happens even after 8 hellfire hits.

As pilot, just right click on the building a couple times until you tell your gunner to target House 1234 or whatever. The laser designator should point in that direction. Hit fire and the laser spot will be on it. Your chopper wingman should engage automatically unless he is too close. If he is too close, just tell him to move somewhere a little farther away. Apparently, you are not supposed to destroy the buildings, just "pound" them with Hellfires. Use a couple on the first, then switch to the second and use a few on it. The buildings will not be destroyed but a message will come up that you completed the objective.

My question is: where is that hidden camp? I have flown over the whole area and each patch of forest looking down into it. Is it not even there, or am I not looking hard enough?

Post by: Donnervogel on 05 Apr 2003, 17:40:42: Well the problem is I can't target any houses. I tried it for houres. The problem doen't occur normally, just in that mission after I get the stinger chopper. I found out that I don't have to destroy the buildings. (Note to missionmaker: could you diplay a message when the first building has taken enough dammage?)
The hidden camp is there. It's not even so hard to find IMHO.

Post by: Donnervogel on 05 Apr 2003, 18:23:45: ok I've founbd a bug, but I don't understand why the mission doesn't work properly...

The Laser Desgnator doesn't work properly (it doesn't track the target) on all the Kiowas with a 50cal MG.
Title: Re:BAS KiowaWarriors Released!
Post by: DeadMeatXM2 on 05 Apr 2003, 18:28:38: Not a bug.. its a game engine issue...

The game engine has this wonderful limit of only allowing 1 gun per-vehicle...

So all the versions with .50 cal's have the .50 defined as the 1 gun, and the Ld has to spawn from the .50 cal.. not from the Mast Mounted Sight...

I'm sure this is in the readme, but possibly not... oh well
Title: Re:BAS KiowaWarriors Released!
Post by: PBA12511 on 05 Apr 2003, 18:31:28: The buildings only need one hellfire each. What I did was target the building with the laser by hovering and manually aiming it, not telling my gunner to target it. Then told the apache to attack it.

Post by: tankieboy on 05 Apr 2003, 18:42:30: Shame the sights are fixed

Post by: DeadMeatXM2 on 05 Apr 2003, 18:49:46: only on the 50cal versions tankie ;)

Title: Re:BAS KiowaWarriors Re-Released!
Post by: DeadMeatXM2 on 05 Apr 2003, 22:14:07: thats ok mate...

here at BAS we do take our research very seriously, so its only things that are guarded by OPSEC (OPerational SECurity - like Delta forces and stuff like that) that we don't know about...

And we went with black over green cos it's a cooler colour scheme 8)

Hope you guys enjoy the updated pack!

P.S. Don't get too near a burning helicopter ;)
Title: Re:BAS KiowaWarriors Re-Released!
Post by: DeLiltMon on 05 Apr 2003, 23:06:16: That was quick I hadn't even noticed any problems with it

Title: Re:BAS KiowaWarriors Re-Released!
Post by: PBA12511 on 06 Apr 2003, 00:00:15: Uh, in the demo mission after I find the enemy camp and land again, well, when I land at the base again and it blacks out, it blacks out then quits out of my game. Whats up? ???
Title: Re:BAS KiowaWarriors Re-Released!
Post by: PunkerSXDX on 06 Apr 2003, 22:22:29: Can I say, Great addon, the textures for the cockpit are sublime, and the rest is outstanding, very good, one of your best BAS, great work :thumbsup:
Title: Re:BAS KiowaWarriors Re-Released!
Post by: Maurekk on 07 Apr 2003, 16:27:25: I have the same problem like "PBA12511" plz help!!!!
Title: Re:BAS KiowaWarriors Re-Released!
Post by: DeadMeatXM2 on 07 Apr 2003, 18:48:06: WE've traced this down to the mission its self. The problem appears to be, that at this point in the mission a lot of troops and vehicles are spawned, this is probably what is causing your crashes...

Out of interest, could you please post up the basic spec of your computers, (i.e. cpu, ram, graphics) that way we may be better able to diagnose your problem...
Title: Re:BAS KiowaWarriors Re-Released!
Post by: Monkey Lib Front on 07 Apr 2003, 20:32:55: i cant seem to target the buildings.
Title: Re:BAS KiowaWarriors Re-Released!
Post by: Messiah on 07 Apr 2003, 20:53:49: use the laser designator and then make the apache target the laser ;)
Title: Re:BAS KiowaWarriors Re-Released!
Post by: AnotherAZguy on 08 Apr 2003, 01:46:14: I cant get the designator to designate the target buildings, it always designates off to my 9 o'clock or some other weird place.

Post by: tankieboy on 08 Apr 2003, 01:51:17: Strange, you are using the sights?
Title: Re:BAS KiowaWarriors Re-Released!
Post by: PBA12511 on 08 Apr 2003, 07:43:19: Ok, if it is the mission then holy shit my comps fucked up, cause I got a 1.6 GHz, 512 MB RAM machine, and she (her names Hot Lips) just turned 1 on March 3rd.

Title: Re:BAS KiowaWarriors Re-Released!
Post by: DeLiltMon on 08 Apr 2003, 23:33:46: I'm getting the crash when I land at the base after locating the enemy camp, I think it may have only started after I installed the updated versio n but I'm not sure :-\
I'm running an Athlon XP 1800, 512mb RAM, Geforce3 Ti, never had any problems with any BAS addons or demo missions before apart from not getting around to finishing some of them ;)
