    Can anyone help with a super basic mission to drive a tank?

    Okay this should be simple for anyone who knows FMB, I don't, hence the request.

    One of our guys needs a mission as follows but due to the nature of Clod it needs to be a multi player that he can run on his machine, effectively as host, so he can drive a tank.

    I have opened a similar thread in Single Player but Buzz saw pointed out that there are issues doing this in Single Player, hence the request for a very, very basic mission to enable a player to drive a tank.

    I require a single player mission in which the player can drive a tank. Nothing complicated, maybe an airfield with stuff to shoot at, bug the primary requirement is just being able to get a player in a tank. That's it, nothing more.

    If anyone can help, please PM me a link to the mission and post a message here to say a mission has been sent (to save others wasted time). Thus is for TF testing so ASAP would be appreciated, cheers, MP

    I can't find a tank with the option to make it playable in the FMB, I'm afraid.

    Re: Can anyone help with a super basic mission to drive a tank?

    Is not need make a mission.

    First in "Realism" make sure that none ot "Cannot blablabla..." are ticked.

    Single Player > Quick Mission> select "British: Attack Column".

    Start the mission (flying a Spit), then press and hold Alt, right click on screen, select "View vehicle", select one of "chief_NPC_0x" - mouse over show the type, in this QM "chief_NPC_01" is a SdKfz 222.

    Then hit the key assigned for "Take control of selected vehicle", you start in gunner position, use the key assigned for change crew to go for driver position and use keys mapped for Vehicle control to drive.

    But as said in the other thread, when you go for gunner position the AI take control of driver an start drive like a crazy, in this SdKfz doing "donuts" and "8"... Classic It's CloD!

    You can launch single missions in Server mode, so the vehicle act like in MP (dont became mad), better use this mode.

    Use tanks in CloD worth only as briefly curiosity, is very ... "Alpha".

    Ah, and don't map the left mouse click for fire gun beacase to move the tanks sight is need click on screen and drag the crosshair... If assign mouse for fire, when do this you fire unintentionally.

    Legend! thank you.

    Out of curiosity , are there any flack or artillery guns that are playable?

    I will add to the mission, just need to know one of each that are playable.

    I am very familiar with creating missions, just have not done any in 2 years since Channel Command.

    so excited I want to leave work and go home and test now... its only 9am

    Added a Bofors AAA* and a He 115 circling above for target.

    Challenge: shoot the winch that hook a balloon and then soot the balloon, before he "goes with the wind".

    *Other artillery (AAA or AT) manageable lack gunsight.

    Drag the gunsight with mouse is PITA, a pixel out and you miss...

    Hi


    Start the mission (flying a Spit), then press and hold Alt, right click on screen, select "View vehicle", select one of "chief_NPC_0x" - mouse over show the type, in this QM "chief_NPC_01" is a SdKfz 222.


    I have lost the option that when you right click on screen the menu pops up. Any idea where I can amend the ini files to get the menu to pop up again?

    Yeah I thought it was tat also.
    But I think cause when I was doing something else I actually deleted the window in game. So when I right click now I see nothing. I am thinking down the bottom of the ConfUser.ini or one of the others there is a section for the windows that you can stipulate the size of the window etc.
    You can adjust secondary controls window etc...

    Is there one there for popupmenu ?

    I faced this same problem long ago, but don't remember what solve...

    The "pop-up menu" window is not customizable.

    In Conf.ini are no reference for "popupmenu".

    In ConfUser.ini are two, the above and other equals in "[HotKey builder]"

    Tick or un-tick "Disable desktop composition" in CloD shortcut does not matter.

    Maybe Windows Aero activated? Here is disable.

    STEAM overlay are on.

    End of ConfUser.ini

    fixed it. I just had to switch the keys to space bar and then bac. must have had to update some dll.

    [HotKey gui]
    Escape = activate
    MouseRight = popupmenu
    ;Space = popupmenu

    [HotKey Console]
    ;BackQuote=Activate
    Control Tab =Activate
    ;Space =Activate
