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

don't understand your question. Check mainloop to understand how it works ;)

Excuse me, my English sucks. I'm trying to understand how the missions are generated.

depend of what you thinking of, if it is the mission : createsidemission script, if it is the environnement : mainloop

Hi, thanks for the answer.

I already modified the createsidemission file (almost all missions).

Now, I'm modifying the commonInitconfig, but I have two questions:

1) Iron Front has no resistance side, can I repeat units on the resistance side and the east side?

2) I need to know what kind of buildings put here:

wccompositions = ["MediumTentCamp_TK_EP1","MediumTentCamp2_TK_EP1","MediumTentCamp3_TK_EP1"...

1) use empty array instead for resistance side, it should work (cause resistance and east side array are merged after)

2) it s composition (several objects that build together a composition), i don't know if there are used in IF.

code34 - My group asked if we could make one of the teams in Iron Rains BAF and one of the teams PMC. What would be the best way of doing that?

You just have to edit the player slots directly in the mp editor of arma :)

Ok, thanks.

Yesterday, I managed for the first time and the mission work in IF.

A small campaign with two missions.

I found some problems.

The mission HQ marker didn´t appear on the map and, in the last mission, the HQ got a position too far from the target.

About the side missions, some of them have a varname like this:

case 43: {
		_missiontext = [_missionname,"Retrieve","an AH64"];
		_vehicle = createVehicle ["AH64D_EP1", _position, [], 0, "NONE"];
		[_vehicle] spawn WC_fnc_rob;
		_varname="bonusah64";

If I want to put an IF vehicle, What should I do with this varname?

1) do you use the lastest version ?

2) you should use the varname of the class that are used by if (don't know the classname cause i do'nt have the game :) )

1) I´m working over WIT 1.44 (the last version I think)

2) You mean that I have to put the classname like:

_varname="LIB_Pe2"

where LIB_Pe2 is the classname of the aircraft.

1-yes for the classname

2- you should use the last beta release on git

Any reason why items are not getting saved in ruck packs (non-ace) after respawn? The packs themselves are saved but not the items in them. I looked through "WC_fnc_saveloadout.sqf" and saw that it only saves the backpack itself, not what's in it. Any clue how I could fix this?

Thanks!

Why?

Thanks a lot for your help.

any new RC code-boy? currently testing on fallujah with custom content only( 3rd party units in the array are still working)..Thx for simplifying the whole script so much. Makes porting and customizing so damn easy. I got some time this week for testing if you have new RC. And thanks to that lame DayZ mod, bis is doing so much beta patches, which are quite awesome for coops..I wonder if these patches would have been released without that mod.

This is great news! Is the fix on Git? What file(s) did you edit to fix it so I can update my mission?

Thanks :)

yes, but i don't think it's a rc cause so much bugs are reported :)

last release always at the same url :)

Hey code34 - can you give me a quick pointer at what files need to be changed to port War in Takistan to other maps? I made a quick port to Lingor (moved the relevant markers on the map, move the base) and was surprised how solid it was immediately! Really impressive. But I'd like to make sure I get it right. For instance - are there any files that require set co-ordinates?

I know Fruity Rudy has done a version - but his isn't publicly available as far as I know and we tend to play with vanilla OA + CBA (rather than ACE etc).

Additionally I like tweaking the setup - and War In Takistan is a fabulous mission to play with and explore :)

Edit: Just also wanted to say that having had a look under the hood, as it were, War Context is really awesome

[code34 248]

to do the minimal port:

you just have to use the new mission.sqm for map makers at root directory to build your own base

to do more:

you can tune for the island the createsidemission script, and the stringtable :)

Awesome - I shall do that! Thanks :)

Comparing mission.sqm to mission_lite_for_mission_makers_rename_it.sqm I can see the lite version is a lot smaller and doesn't use as many addons - are the differences Takistan specific then?

mission lite = only elements require to run the mission (markers, buildings). Mission lite doesn't contain the base. You can use it for island you want.

In the today's git version this file appears to be missing:

warcontext\actions\WC_fnc_returntobase.sqf

(I think it is the teleport back to HQ from MHQ script).

Is it actually missing or are you refactoring/renaming it? :)

Great! Good to know. Personally, I like the base - but it is really helpful to have a clean version for comparison

I found that autoloading new units really slowed down the loading but because your warcontext engine is beautifully organised and well put together it was the work of a minute to change the default TK units to Lingor ones :)

Ah I see you have been refactoring it as WC_fnc_doreturntobase.sqf. So in that case in case you didn't know (and I am sure you did!): There is a incorrect function call then when activating teleport back to base from the MHQ as it is still calling "WC_fnc_returntobase.sqf" not "WC_fnc_doreturntobase.sqf"

:)

That said - by the looks of it, your refactoring is going to be a nice improvement. The War Context engine is really powerful

No worries - I am tracking your git changes and will let you know if I come across any other issues. Honestly - I've been amazed how few issues there have been! :)

few syntax issue but a lot of functionnals bugs ;)
