Spearhead Wierd Message Problems
I am having a few problems with Spearhead. It was fine on my oldPC but on my new PC it seems to be displaying messages more suitable for a mapper or developer of the game but not for a player. I do not map for Spearhead so really this is useless. Anyway, I'm a bit confused - I haven't added any PK3's, and I tried removing all my ols Allied Assault ones. Unless this is supposed to happen, I'm lost. Oh yeh, I forgot to mention I was playing Single Player when this happened. I guess it wouldn't happen Multi-Player, because it's all relative to SP scripted events I believe, and AI stuff.
The AI "messeges"
Printing AI names and how many are left. You wouldn't or shouldn't see this in a game. Kinda kills tension and reality when "There is 4 ai_barn_alert guys still alive!" appears on your screen. Like this:
The Script "messeges"
It prints stuff onscreen when a event happens, such as a sound that has to be played, or i think when the player walks through a trigger. Example(s):
The Generally Weird Thing
At the bottom left next to the health bar I get a line of text telling me how many are alive on each side, allies/axis. I think this is for Multi-Player. But again I spoils the fun on SH, tension rather. Not that it's any use, the numbers just randomly change. Here's another pic:
These are not really major errors, they just spoil the playing experience somewhat. Like I said it kills tension, reality, and therefore fun. The whole atompshere drops from a horrific war in which you play a US soldierin the grim fight to a developers creation, if you see what I mean.
Anyway, any help would be much appreciated,
