Title: Basic Dialog problem
Post by: Nathan Bos on 12 Aug 2006, 20:43:31
I'm trying to get started with dialogs, but am having trouble getting even the first example in the Vektorboson tutorial to work, and am wondering if anyone else has had a similar problem.

I put the simplest possible class definition in a definition.ext file in the same folder as a new mission, but no matter what I do I get an 'Unknown Operator' error.

I even dragged Vektorboson's example into the folder intact with no luck.

Now I'm wondering if I have to have a certain version of OFP to use Dialogs at all.  I'm running 1.46.

Dialouges only work in 1.75+ (maybe 1.96 only, not 100% sure) but i know it dosent work in 1.46.
Thats your problem.

edit: as dmakatra said below, 1.85+ is needed (sorry dmakatra :P ).

Dialogs were introduced in 1.85 I believe. At least after 1.46, that's for sure. Sorry mate.

The real question you should be giving ought to be "What the hell am I still doing with 1.46?" ;)

EDIT: Naw, these youngsters are too fast for me. :(

Yes get Resistance or Game of the Year (GOTY).   Very cheap if you can find it, and deeply worth it.

Yep, that was it, thanks!
I'm trying to simulate operations using UAV's, and need a way to control them-

Get 1.96 and you can download UAV-addons. :P
