I wish you well with your further research.

Okay, we are doing as you say: 1692 server, others on 1719.
What I hadn’t noticed is that you select to be a server on the options screen, before you get in the game. So I selected that and then selected SERVE in the game, and now everything works perfectly.
Thank you

Thank you for your response. I had to go back and fix the update that was required before you install Escalation and now all is working. Windows 11 can run JO which is good news for everyone with ageing computers.
So we have three machines Desktop 10, Laptop 11 and Laptop 7.
If I host with Lap 11, then Desk 10 and Lap 7 can see the game. However…[Read more]

Hi, Im just trying to get AW2 running on a new Windows 11 Laptop. I tested it out with my desktop which has a separate install.
I have 5 Joint OPs discs and I may have come unstuck by downloading the same version on my new Laptop that is on my Desktop.
Anyway, I hosted on the laptop, joined on the desktop, started moving, and suddenly the…[Read more]

IndioBlack replied to the topic How do you make targets show on map and disappear when destroyed? in the forum MAPPING QUESTIONS 1 year, 9 months ago
That would be nice.
I suppose it is complicated then. I thought it was maybe just a simple tick-box that I hadn’t noticed.
I was thinking of getting round it by placing the “Invisible object for targets” on top of the explosive box. This seems to highlight the box on the map, which is what I wanted.
Then I would add an event that said when the…[Read more]

Title says it all.
So I put an explosive crate into a mission map, and it doesn’t show on the map.
How do I make it show as a red dot on the map so you know where to look for it. And when you’ve blown it up (it is destroyable), how do you make the red dot vanish so you know what’s left to destroy?
Seems a pretty fundametal concept, but I can’t…[Read more]

IndioBlack replied to the topic my maps mix-up in the forum MAPPING QUESTIONS 4 years, 4 months ago
The waypoint jumbling seems to be quite normal in most of the maps that we play. As host, I usually get the waypoints showing in correct alphabetical order, but my team-mates often have the waypoints in a different order to me. So my Bravo can be their Juliet, which gets confusing when we have to discuss which waypoint to head for next.
“Which is…[Read more]

- In your sentence, it should be “proves”, not “proofs”. That’s probably the sort of mistake you make in your map descriptions. I was not using “pluralis majestatis”, (note the spelling). When I said “We”, I meant myself and my three team-mates who play Joint Ops on LAN almost every Wednesday of the year, and alternate between laughter and…

Presumably this means “Chained to a nuke”.
We have noted many spelling mistakes and incoherent mission descriptions in Joint Ops maps from all sources, and wonder how anyone who makes these mistakes can write a mission map, when accurate syntax is everything. I realise that for many map-makers, English may not be their first language, so I am not…[Read more]

I’m sorry but you don’t seem to understand.
I’m using NileJ4F.
It is my experience from the missions that I have created, that in a DF Terrain with murky water, if you use any fish or sharks of a different team number to the players, they will swim around and they will attack you if you are in the water.
In the DVX Terrain with the t…[Read more]

IndioBlack replied to the topic How do yo get translucent water? in the forum MAPPING QUESTIONS 6 years, 10 months ago
Ah, now that’s the “if at first you don’t succeed, give up” approach.
What we have learnt is that fish with identical properties behave differently in different terrains.
DF Terrains have active fish but murky water.
DVX Terrains have translucent water but inactive fish.
Maybe somebody knows why. And maybe nobody knows why.

I think you misunderstand the concept of “Reminiscence.” One cannot have “recherche du temps perdu” if one has not experienced them in the first place.
If we did not share our knowledge, but left everyone to fend for themselves, then we would still be living in caves wondering if there was anything outside, and there would be no point in having m…[Read more]

Neither am I the one who writes snarky responses when someone asks a simple question about the game. I thought we were here to offer advice and help, whether it be something simple about darkest night settings in games or deep coding. If you can’t respond nicely then I suggest you shut your gob, or you’ll get snarky responses back.

Well what you could do is go into the programme and rewrite the code yourself, Shemihazah.
You’re welcome. -

Well obviously.
I actually found the answer in a much more simple way, and now I know what is the blackest night you can get.
But I’m keeping it a secret.
Thanks for being so extremely helpful not. -

I’ve been having fun with the various night lighting objects, and currently use Full Environment at Midnight. However, that damn moon is very strong and picks out desert terrain very brightly. So I’m asking which environment file is recommended for the blackest night, without moon.
