Unable to get respawn to work

[jiga]

I followed what this thread said http://www.ofpec.com/yabbse/index.php?board=7;action=display;threadid=91;start=0

I created a new text docu, entered in respawn=2; respawndelay=20;  I then saved it as description.ext and yes it is .ext I put the .ext file in my C:\Program Files\Codemasters\OperationFlashpoint\Users\JIGA\missions\Apocolypse Now.noe folder.

Well, that's what I guess which folder it goes into since the thread only states "Create a new text document inside your mission directory." Well, there is my mission directory and :\Program Files\Codemasters\OperationFlashpoint\Missions directory as well. As I read on it states nothing about adding anything into the init field so I suppose I am ok there. Afterwards Tomahawk states " or of course, just add this to your mission file, and put a marker saying respawn_side as name and text, set it to ellipse, horizontal" and he has a description.zip file attached to his post. I downloaded his file and added to my JIGA\missions\Apocolypse Now.noe folder. I put the marker in just as he said and still no respawn And I do have the soldiers in the area as playable. I click on preview to test it out but it does not work.

What am I missing here? Sorry for beating a dead horse, im new

PS: I did use the search function before posting

Does anyone visit these forums anymore?

Well, just like to add that I did check the editors depot http://www.ofpec.com/editors/browse.php?browsewhat=2&category=2_7&numreturn=400&displayformat=0&ofpv=1 and did not find a respawn script for soldiers, only vehicles.

Im still lost

Respawn doesn't work in preview mode. You'll have to save the mission and then give it a whirl.  

Also remember that when you "save as a mission" that you will not be able to write over that mission.pbo file. So, you will have to manually remove the mission.pbo you just created if you plan to do more editing on said mission after testing your respawn function.

Do you mean when I save it as a MP mission, test it out, then go back and do more editing and then resave it again it will not overwrite the one I just saved in the MP Missions folder?

I take it that is what you are saying   Have to remember, I have not done any type of OFP editing since the game came out, been a long time since I have messed around with this stuff.

Ok, I got it working now

Only have a problem of the enemy AI respawning near the base as well hehe. Think I can figure that one out
