CO40 - War in Takistan: Operation Iron rains (WIT)

It s not a problem as open server can vote for an admin :D

#vote admin (name/ID/PLR#) Users can vote an admin to control the server

Hmm, we are running an open server, but voting isn't allowed on our server for many good reasons. So to run this mission we have to allow voting, but even then many players don't know how to vote and they also not know why they should vote, because there is no other mission, that I know, that need admin to play. So players are not trained in this.

This mission is now very good for well organized teams, where everybody knows each other, but on open servers the most players are not organized and playing often for their own. So if you really want to make a popular mission like domination it is, you need to support all new/unexperienced players better.

To do so, it would be better to have more than one team on a server for open playing. There are two reasons for:

1. A well organized team don't want to play with a noob, that even starting this game and would only help to degrade the team.

2. A new player mostly like to check out things on their own, also to not disturb/destroy the plans of another players.

So the best solution would be, when a new player could choose to open his own team (and being leader) or ask another leader to join his team. Every team leader have to approve new team members, when they ask to join.

With this option this mission could also be played as team competition, where players could show how good their teams are. And you don't need an admin anymore

Currently i have no answers for you, i have to think about it.

If you want an open game in arcade mode, you can add this piece of code at the end of WC_fnc_serverside.sqf.

if(wckindofgame == "arcade") then {

[] spawn {

private ["_array"];

while { true } do {

_array = [];

{

_array = _array + [name _x];

}foreach playableUnits;

wcinteam = _array;

publicvariable "wcinteam";

sleep 60;

};

};

};

The ranking works only when you are a member of the team. (arcarde or simulation)

A suggestion. Not sure if you have a Dev Heaven setup for this project (that would make it easier for people to report bugs and easier for you to track them)

When playing with a small group, sometimes we'll lose our transportation after arriving at the objective. If there's anyway the top 3 ranking members could call for an AI helicopter evac that would be perfect.

We've found ourselves stranded multiple times out in the middle of no where due to reinforcments coming in from behind and blowing up whatever vehicles we took to get there (humvees, blackhawks)

If you could somehow make it so a radio support call could be made for an AI pilot to fly in an Evac Blackhawk that would cool.

Cool works! I've already put up some suggestions (and one bug that was suppose to be a feature request, sorry!)

I'll see if I can add anything else.

I don't know if its been discussed but is it possible to use the ACE Wounding system instead of the R3F Revive scripts?

[zuff 10]

haha! It's fine they're just little things I've either mentioned before or crazy ideas I had for the future :)

Dev-heaven really is a good way to track everything though, and I figure the more ideas the better!

There are already some customs missions of wit on internet that use the ace wounding system :D (not officialy support), try to look for wit full ace or perhpas a BWMOD version.

perhaps, but there is not enough people that know how to use it. Forum is easier than tracker.

This is an awesome mission. The clan I'm in was looking for something just like this, and this is just perfect. Everybody here is loving it.

However, many of our clan members are having minor difficulties with the mission since we're a non-english speaking clan and not many of us are fluent in English. There are lots of request for mission translation, so, er... we'd like to localize this mission if its ok with you.

[zuff 10]

Code I noticed done major problems after switching clothes.

One is that points are unlimited and you can keep giving them. Eventually you have negative points to give

Second was that after switching back the groups were all messed up. Squad leaders changed.

Third was after switching back I could not recruit AI. I was a colonel rank too.

Of course, can you send me your stringtable.csv file after that ? I will introduce it in the future release :D (except R3F script translation, cause there will be an update in the next release and the string are not anymore in stringtable)

Is there a problem with the "Combat operation plan" BIS_fnc_infoText ?

After logging in as Admin and selecting a mission, the text still pops up for every player continuously.

[zuff 10]

Hey Code,

two things:

1) Can you give me a text document of your current User Manual? That way I can easily copy and paste and change it to a better english version.

2) How hard would it be to convert this mission to another map? I'm not asking you to do it, but say if I wanted to, what steps would I need to take?

you can use this file:

it's not an easy question that can have on uniq answer here.

On a map like chernarus or takistan:

copy all markers and playable units on the map

for other map, you should certainly have to modify the code & string

[zuff 10]

Thanks for the manual. I'll get to work on it as soon as I can. Any word on when the next version of WIT will come out?

As for porting the mission, I'll see what I can do. I would love it if I could play this map on Fallujah. So you're saying I'd have to change some code around? I'm not too experienced on code, but I have ported Bon's mission to Lingor before.

[noricum 10]

problem occured in version 1.24

[wontial 10]

I'm not sure if this is a rare incident or a bug, but when we were playing the final mission, 'eliminate the enemy leader' mission, the enemy leader was invincible. Nothing would kill him, we tried running him over with vehicles, blasting with AT launchers and hundreds of headshots but he was like a super-zombie. Just wouldn't die lol.

We were playing the latest version of the mission with ace mod.

The problem is that i don't understand the bug :D can you post me a screenshot or give more details ?
