Come on guys this is a mate of mine. Way back in the mid 80's he and I were racing each other to finish a game called Omega. For those of you too young to remember this was a game where you….
…wrote an ai program to control a tank and then let it loose on a battlefield against a computer controlled tank. If your creation survived you got to the next level. I can't remember who won. It doesn't matter now but it did then (I remember the midnight phone calls telling me that the next level had been reached - and it wasn't by me!). He has come back to Flashpoint because of conversations like:
So what are you doing now?:
Rise of Nations Flashpoint
Rome Total War Flashpoint
Silent Hunter 3 Flashpoint
Windsurfing Flashpoint
etc. Flashpoint
etc. etc. Flashpoint
What's with this Flashpoint - I finished it years ago? Err.. well actually I made a mission. Yes I know I saw your missions years ago - err… naff.
I think this might be different - okay prove it.
So he downloaded it and can't get it to work.
I told him if he posted his problem here he would get some help so don't let me down. He is getting an editor102 blah blah not found error. despite putting the editor upgrade in the addons folder and having a clean (no other addons) installation.
I am at a loss.
SpikeTennyson?? I'll have to think about that name. Your inventiveness puts me to shame - just look at mine!! The best I can do is have 42 save games - and even that is in the next version.
Bored_Onion:I cannot say it better than macguba and Mikero, and I cannot say how pleased I was by what they said, it was exactly how I hoped people feel about it..
The key is not to think about all the missions you have played before. Instead think about what you would do if you were young and inexperienced but leading a group of keen but novice men (and woman) who are determined but are up against two enormous armies. macguba and mikero's comments really say it all - you run like hell…
…Until you are strong enough not to.
To help pace yourself: I usually complete the mission a bit before midnight - game time. Some manage to finish before sunset. At least one person has posted battle reports for day two!!
Take your time. The objective for a lot of the time is simply to survive.
Best of luck.
Mikero:THobsons mission (he is a long-time friend of mine
with this mission of his, he's no friend of ours!
Gee it's great to be appreciated!
