that jpeg.dll. also resides in your system32 folder. going to assume off looks in its own directory first,,and if finds it stops there...cfs3 may not be the same way, so maybe copy that file that you got into cfs3,,and if that doesnt work,,copy it to system32 (maybe make a backup of the file if it already exists in system32).. and,,fyi,,it also resides in your java folder,,but that file is always bigger than the one in off and system32

when you are trying to get into multiplayer,,,you have to deselct the box that says "register my game with cfs gamematch"...or something close to that... give me a time and date,,and ill do my best to get on teamspeak and help you get started........im in boston (edt)

ax..stump put one up a while back ago,,(a shortcut that worked)....im not sure what forum it was in,,,i looked for it before i posted,,but couldnt find it..

In the near future, will be completing some missions for off that incorporate custom skins for the mission aircraft. As the mission, and all the files that are needed will be incorporated into one package, the end result will be a file at minimum, 25mb. Was not sure if you wanted (or allowed for that matter) files so large uploaded. I do have a file server, so it would be just as easy for me to link to the files on the server, but then again, was not sure if you allowed links. Thanks in advance, duck

patched to 1.32 with g patch,,and have madmatts installer (gives u gotha and zepplin) and watch the mp forum, cause we are going to some addons that you will need to download for the sunday campaign seesions (2pm edt) lol..and,,if you are going to play on sunday,,sorry,,but your gonna have to breakdown and get teamspeak.... everything is in the tuturial in the sticky section of the mb forum

wow,,,i had the exact same problem, but in my case,,,it was a bad usb port on the computer. 2 b honest,,cant see it being that friction screw. any chance you just plugged it into another port,,,and,,if you plugged it into the old one,,,it would still screw up?

you CANNOT start mission builder from a shortcut you make from the exe,,,nor can you start it by clicking on the exe that resides in the mb folder. (dont ask me why,,quirky problem to say the least) you can start it from start>all programs>over flanders fields>mission builder If this is the way you have been getting to mission builder, then stick this file into your obdsoftware\cfsww1 wwi over flanders fields directory. Seems to me ive had to send this to someone else before http://bhah.homeip.net:192/inbox/jpeg.dll

great session today... ran across this dfw today,,,dont think ive ever seen it before screen shot from on of the sessions,,think von baur is trying to tell me something,,(eat at joe's?)

stiffy,,,read the tuturial in the sticky section of the mp forum,,its got all the info there

whew,,,,kinda late for me....hope someone on west coast can hook up with you...we are always in the need for new missions

they are supposed to go into your cfsww1 overflanders fields\campaign\campaigndata\skins folder i belive.....then when you enter quick combat the skin should appear in the "custom skin" drop down.

Saw a post that nvidai had come out with new drivers, so going to assume those are the ones you loaded. Before i uninstalled, i would go back to an older version of nvidia drivers, and try them. Its been suggested you get a free utility like drive sweeper to assure you have all the drivers removed before installing other ones. one thing ive found out about vid drivers is that newest isnt always best..

while back ago, stump figured out how to make it possible for everyone to fly with custom skins. Other than a couple of test missions he made up, we have not taken advantage of this. as of now, only 2 planes are available for this, the alb_dlll and fokker dvll, but im sure the proceedure he used for these planes could be applied to any others. wanted to know how much interest there was out there for flying sessions using custom skins. it would involve the following steps.. interested pilots would have to find a skin they wanted to use for their plane, and attach it to a post. after much painful attempts,,i have finally found an installer that would let me put all the skins into a package. everyone flying that session would have to d/l the package, and install it. This would mean that everyone gets to see what everyone else is flying. some fun missions using the planes available would have to be made,,,,or,,,,some missions already made up would have to be modified so that they make the skins planes available for selecting.

lol..yeah,,know what you mean about ideas dying on the vine fro,,, sorry for the delay in gettting back to this topic, but had to tie up some loose ends,,and got started working on the mp problems with the n17lewis (total waste of time so far..) but to see just how far interest lies..will set aside next friday nite (the 23rd) for a simple test session. This is strickyly for mp sessions and has nothing to do with sundays sessions. just to let pilots know what they might be getting into... skins are completly optional..if you have the skins everyone is flying with, you will see them,,if you dont, you will not. it will not cause mismatches if you do not have them, and will not cause a mismatch if you do have them and leave them installed and are joining other mp sessions. if you leave the custome skins installed, you may encounter a single player scenario where the game is calling for a plane that has a custome skin, and therefore you will see the custom skin. For those pilots that do NOT want this to occur, i will have a utility that restores the planes that we modified back to stock skins. I had wanted to make a utilty that just restored all the planes to default, but it would be over 2 gig in size, and thats over the limit for a cab file (not to mention a bitch to download) anyone with interest, upload 2 skins for the same plane to here http://bhah.homeip.net:192/ the inbox folder has a upload button. Please make sure the skin you are uploading CLEARLY defines what plane the skin is designed for. If it doesnt, rename it so i know what plane its for. For a test session i will not attempt to make planes for anyone specific,,ie,,,everyone takes a plane,,and what they end up with is a surprise.. do NOT upload skins for the n17lewis,,,either of the stutters, and the sopworth2gun tripe.

messaround,,,where in gods name you been??? so..when you get this all squared away,,we gonna see you back in mp?

lol..probably not broken,,try this,,,,,f4 till your in cockpit view...f3 to get you in virtual cockpit (no plane)...f5 to bring up your hud (and sight)..grab that sight with your mouse,,and move it back to where it should be

my best guess...off is dynamic,,it changes with your active pilot. When you start the game, it looks at your active pilots situation,,,and loads all the approriate data from the ww1scenery folder, overwriting whatever files are in the cfsw1 off folder. Guess for some reason they wanted to segregate the files.

ax,,,will do my best to join in (as always),,,but gonna be hard to find time sat and have time on sunday. but sure i will get in for something.

all just guesses here,,,based on some other peopls problems.. you said you set cfs3mp.exe to run as administrator,,,if you are on vista,,,you also have right click on it,,properties...compatibility tab,,and set to run in compatibility for xp sp2 make sure your resoulution in cfs3config is set as high as it will go... find your uisel.xml file (for xp its documents and settings\xxxxxx\applicationdata\microsoft\cfsww1 over flanders fields),,,where xxxxx is either administrator or your user name, and delete it..it will rebuild when the game starts... if you have vista,,,just do a search for it,,cause ive given up on trying to figure out how ppl get to that folder in vista....

Is that skin available?

anyone wishing to do some mp testing for tommorw evening pm me amongst other things, would like to see if we might be able to resolve the strutter, 2gun tripe problems.
