Editing, Expanding and Modifying Domination

Mirek · July 13, 2013

Hi

Reviving old thread, but it seems to be only suitable thread.

Does anyone have any idea where the hell i find the code that decides what spawns at markers d_base_radar_pos; d_base_wreck_fac; d_base_anti_air1; d_base_anti_air2?

i would expect something like

 _something = createVehicle ["someclassname", [(getMarkerPos "somemarker" select 0),(getMarkerPos "somemarker" select 1),0], [], 0, "CANCOLLIDE"];

but for all i can search i cant find anything like that.

where i find the rest of the sqfs that make the player base? i have american patrol patroling my base, i have american AA defence i have american radar etc i dont want any of them there i want all to be Czech!

Mirek · July 13, 2013

OK partialy figured. No more Mericans in my base. :)

Tankbuster · June 14, 2005

If I remember correctly, and I don't work on this mission much anymore, I've removed most of those markers and replaced them with my own code.

i_common.sqf has references to the anti air markers, which leads to (in my build) (if you're using a headless client) line 52 of \x_shc\x_shcinit.sqf or if you're not using a HC, to line 28 of x_server\x_init.sqf. As you can see, just removing that marker is a safe way of preventing those units from spawning.

The variable that is passed to the createvgroup function is d_base_aa_vec which is defined (in my build) in fn_preinit.sqf at line 462.

Mirek · July 13, 2013

Hey thanks, but i didnt find it there there.

Mirek · July 13, 2013

I see there is ACRE settings in DOMI how can i change it to TFAR?

Tankbuster · June 14, 2005

We run TFAR on my 2 servers that run the mission and it seems to run just fine. Search server browser for Domination Redux and you can get the mission from the public one.

Mirek · July 13, 2013

I searched Domination Redux, but thats for Arma 3. I need it for Arma 2.

Anyway i searched ACRE in the files and here is what i find:

I gues simply revriting the word ACRE with Word TFAR wouldnt work?

Mirek · July 13, 2013

Another thing i need to get rid of the JSRS distance dependency because for some reason it prevents the mission to be run on dedicated server. I found that the JSRS dependency is probably hardcoded in I_common.sqf

Search "jsrs" (3 hits in 1 file)
  C:\Users\Mirek\Documents\ArmA 2 Other Profiles\K%20Mirek\MPMissions\Black_Lion_Chernarus_Dominatio.Chernarus\i_common.sqf (3 hits)
	Line 58: 		if (!isNil "JSRS_Distance_Killed") then {
	Line 59: 			JSRS_Distance_Killed = {};
	Line 60: 			//JSRS_Distance_Fired = {};

What happends if i just delete theese lines?

Mirek · July 13, 2013

I deleted the lines and nothing happend. Mission still Works ok on my computer, but cannot be played on dedicated server, due to "you cannot play/edit this mission is dependent on content that had been removed jsrs_distance" bullshit.

Mission runs OK when tested on hosted server.

There is no more JSRS even mentioned in any of the mission files, including all the sqf and sqm scripts.

JSRS mod is present in Dedicated server and in Dedicated server startup parameters along with all other required mods.

JSRS mod is present and enabled with all the required mods on the client connecting to the server.

Mission still cannot be played on Dedicated server, due to supposedly missing JSRS_Distance.

i think Arma did just grown consciousnes and is making fun of me.

SavageCDN · October 6, 2011

Check the beginning of mission.sqm - does it have any JSRS entries in Addons sections? If so delete the JSRS lines.

Mirek · July 13, 2013

Nothing there. i searched all the files in the mission folder for JSRS, using notepad++ search in files function.

There is no reason for the mission to require JSRS. But it stil does. I just stopped my work on this Domination edit and started working on Edit of Patrol ops. because clearly domination isnt supposed to work for me.

opusfmspol · July 19, 2014

Do you have a test .pbo of the mission which is sharing the same folder name as the editor mission perhaps?

That gave me similar problems with editing campaign missions, I couldn't figure out why edits I was making to mission in editor wouldn't work.

Example:

1) edit a mission in editor.

2) save editor mission to multiplayer, it creates a .pbo.

3) test the .pbo, identify corrections to make.

4) edit the mission in editor a little more.

5) if you launch the editor mission, the .pbo will run instead, since it uses the same folder name inside.

In this situation, the tested .pbo has to be moved or deleted before the editor mission will run again.

Mirek · July 13, 2013

I know that, Opus, thats not a problem, problem is that the mission works on a test computer, but doesnt work on the server.

Tankbuster · June 14, 2005

This test machine.. is this the same machine the mission is made on?

Mirek · July 13, 2013

This test machine.. is this the same machine the mission is made on?

Indeed it is. But this mission is the only one with that problem. All other missions i made or edited and tested on this computer, work on the server with no problems. Only this one is different.

Tankbuster · June 14, 2005

Very odd.

The mission never had JSRS in it until you got it, so we have to assume it's a dependency you introduced and given that it works on the authoring machine but not on a different machine server. Perhaps you are accidentally loading the addon?

Any way, send me the mission folder or pbo. A fresh set of eyes often sees something an older set misses.

Mirek · July 13, 2013

Strange is getting even stranger!

Turns out, that the mission can be run on the server. BUT! There is one specific Player, who if he connects on the server himself alone, (no one else can be on the server) he can start the domination mission, and after that the rest of us can join and play the mission.

Anyone else tryes to run the mission, or the one lucky player is not alone on the server, results in missing jsrs_distance error.

We all use the same modlist, made in PWS using mods downloaded trough PWS.

Iam not sure if i should laugh or cry.

Tankbuster · June 14, 2005

Is sig checking turned on on the server?

I don't use JSRS, but I wonder if the player who first joins IS using JSRS, and when he joins and starts the mission, JSRS is placing it's objects on the map, thereby making JSRS required for later players?

Mirek · July 13, 2013

We all use JSRS, and server runs JSRS. We al have JSRS, JSRS_ACE and JSRS_ACR. Signature checking is not enabled on the server, because we use our own mod wich is not signed because i dont know how to sign mod.

I am not able to understand this, iam starting to thing that all this is some joke the JSRS autors made, or Xeno made or i dont know.

We should all be able to start the mision. But still only this one guy can run it. And if he dies or stops playing arma or his computer burns, we will be all screwed, our entire clan.

Mirek · July 13, 2013

How do i disable the effects in domination? I mean like the snowing, the fog clouds, etc. It kills performance, and renders the mission unplayable for half of my clan.

Tankbuster · June 14, 2005

IIRC, you're playing an old version? Is there an option in the mission parameters to turn the weather off?

Mirek · July 13, 2013

Where do i find mission parameters? If you mean mission parameters like in patrol ops, then thats not here.

Jungfaha · August 3, 2016

@Mirek

Yeh... its a settings things under "Parameters" just before u launch the server if ur using client. Otherwise its possible to change the default values under "description.ext" file.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________
To whom it may concern.
Hello and thank you for reading this post. Be advised although this thread may be old. "In good faith" I post on behalf of the community I'm part of.

Revival of this thread imminent.
We use "co40_Domination_2_11A2_West.Chernarus.pbo" & sometimes the AI version.
- If there is an updated version of this please advise.

Due note: Going around killing people both in real life and in game .. well just doesn't suit everyone's taste. Thus we seek help from those whom have experience with modding DOMINATION 2 on the Chernaus map.

Although its a map that is not often used we figured an alien invasion (instead of Russian take over) seemed far more suitable. Going in as liberators both as West & East to LIBERATE the civilians from an unknown enemy has proven to be rewarding in its own way. If shooting is going to happen, we would rather shoot Zetaborn (fictional creation) instead of some "local"s, "Forester"s, "farmer"s, "gamekeeper"s, "woodman"s, & "villagers" defending their home land (see file i_server.sqf line 159).

Though, here comes why the thread is being revived.

We have a few recurring issues that prevent domination from proceeding.
Server:
- Arma 2 Combined operations
- PMC, BAF, ACR
- CBA: CO, jayarma2lib, AlienZ mod v1.1

"co40_Domination_2_11A2_West.Chernarus.pbo"
Replacing east units with Alien units works for about 2 cities and either on the 3rd or 4rth city the "camps" which need to be captured don't work.
- To be precise normally capturing a camp requires a friendly unit to stay in the camp for a period of time. The GUI shows a bar filling up from left to right.
-- In this particular situation the bar gets smaller instead of bigger.
---Thus unable to proceed to next city even after clearing out MTsidequests.

"co40_Domination_2_11A2_West_AI.Chernarus.pbo"

Replacing east units with Alien units the mission does not recognize that we took over everything and completed MTsidequest.

- To be precise the city we try to take over does not trigger and we are stuck on the 1st city.

Attempt to resolve the issue:

Have tried to replace east units with alienz one at a time.
- We have found up to what point in each version where the mission stops responding.
  - I can post the change logs and the files that have been modded. Please advise.
Considered changing the AlienZ mod and making the units SIDE=EAST
- After changing the config.bin into PAA unable to successfully convert back into .bin due to errors.
  - Results game does not even show the alienz in editor.
    - Reverted to original version of the mod.

Sincerely, Respectfully, regards.
Many thanks in advance. :)

Edited July 5, 2018 by Jungfaha
added server mods

Jungfaha · August 3, 2016

We have had the same results with the 2.28 AI WEST takistan version. anytime we replace the units with ALIENZ the Main target will not trigger complete.

Suppose now it would be great to find a way to change the trigger and either manually trigger the next target or have it recognize the ALIENZ units.
Have found a few interesting files:

x_server\X_target_clear.sqf
x_server\X_creatnexttarget.sgf

Does anyone know how to modify the trigger and where exactly s the trigger for the main target?

Sincerely, respectfully, regards
