Tonci87 163 Posted January 5, 2012 It is true, you can only user save the mission once throughout an entire playthough. It does autosave after every mission and before every mission. But there are times when you just want to save after a mad firefight. Instead of having to start the mission from scratch again and go through it all over just to get to that point.I find that this is especially relevant on the convoy missions where there are tons of enemies and enemy armour. If i could save it when i have defeated the first wave it would be so much easier. I dont want that much of a challenge, i just want to see how the story plays through. I can save whenever I want :confused: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stagler 39 Posted January 5, 2012 Really, I cant :( Once I do one usersave, the option is greyed out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

folgore_airborne 1 Posted January 28, 2012 Any news on this campaign? I tried to play the non-addon beta, but I get an error saying there is no description for the campaign when I enter the campaigns menu, and when I open it I can't start the campaign because there's another error...

It is technically not a campaign but a mission with campaign elements. You probably put it into the wrong directory. It should go into your missions directory.

folgore_airborne 1 Posted January 29, 2012 Well in the first post it says it's a campaign with 7 missions, so I put it into Campaigns folder...will try it on Missions folder. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nettrucker 142 Posted February 2, 2012 (edited) Well in the first post it says it's a campaign with 7 missions, so I put it into Campaigns folder...will try it on Missions folder. Yeah it's a bit missleading. The pbo needs to be placed in your mission folder and not in the campaign folder. Default I think. go to your difficulties section. Only when playing on expert mode unlimited save games are disabled by default. In all other options the unlimited save option can be enabled.

Stan Dandyliver 10 Posted February 19, 2012 Similar problem here to Ataribaby - mission freezes on "one dot" while generating the 6th episode, something to do with a strongpoint assault. Playing the no-addon version in 1.60 with no Betas; I do run OKT no-blur and DPS Frame-rate counters, will try with these de-selected. Oh, and I have saved a few times (don't have ColStaglers problem!) which I understand may have SNAFU'd the mission. I have to say that, apart from the snag mentioned above, this is one of the most enjoyable experiences in SP ArmA2 ever - very many thanks for this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stan Dandyliver 10 Posted February 19, 2012 Interestingly (to me, anyway...) after I Alt-Tabbed out of CO to write the previous message, on my return to Arma2 the mission then started generating and within 20s I was back in the game. New problem - upon completion of that task, the next one (another rebel-leader-in-stronghold) has frozen just as Torch and Spark reached 2km from the target. Ah well - it's worth persevering, eh?!

KingN 249 Posted March 15, 2012 Hi everyone! It's been a while. I'm back to inform you that I've started to work on this campaign again. I've been busy and after that it has been hard to gather the motivation to roll up my sleeves and get back onto this big project. This time my aim is to wrap up this campaign and finish up a release version with mainly just fixing bugs, issues and problems. I want to see a this campaign "finished" before arma 3 and I don't know how much time and energy I have for this project before the next generation of arma. That's why I'm not sure if I will add anything bigger for now. I have read your comments and I will look into the issues mentioned here, like before. I've noticed the new patch for arma has screwed up some things in the campaign, I'm still investigating this. I will try to fix those problems along with the ones you have reported here. Plus like before, I want to add some little features of some kind, just for the fun and to add at least some fresh excitement to the campaign. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
folgore_airborne 1 Posted March 15, 2012 Nice to hear it! Good work mate! So you will leave as it is, a mission with campaign elements, or turn it into a proper campaign? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SuicideCommando 333 Posted March 15, 2012 Yep, great news. I was waiting on this getting fixed before trying it out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KingN 249 Posted March 16, 2012 Nice to hear it! Good work mate!So you will leave as it is, a mission with campaign elements, or turn it into a proper campaign? No, like I've explained this earlier, the campaign is supposed to be dynamic with random missions and the conventional arma campaign structure doesn fit this concept. Besides editing this campaign/mission/whatever you want to call it (I call it a campaign because a mission of 7 missions doesn't sound right, heh) is easier when the whole package technically works as single mission. Plus IMO it's better to have destroyed buildings etc remain destroyed after finishing a mission so all in all, I personally like it how it is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rainbird 1 Posted March 20, 2012 Yep, great news. I was waiting on this getting fixed before trying it out. +1 i have only played one part of this campaign so far. it was great. but I will wait for a final realease, so that i can experience it the way King intends. Look forward to it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daman3 19 Posted March 22, 2012 Its a great (big) mission, Ireally like what I am seeing so far! But after the first mission, it becomes stuck. As soon as I have finished with the planning and start the 2nd mission (convoy), another guy is in charge of my team and wont enter the armoured transport vehicle. I am using the No Mods version on Combined Operation 1.60 + newest betas. Any workaround or do I have to restart? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am using the No Mods version on Combined Operation 1.60 + newest betas. Any workaround or do I have to restart? Don't worry, the player-not-leader bug is already fixed, I ran to this myself and I was surprised, maybe the latest arma patch triggered this problem along with the mission planning shed being all screwed up (only a cosmetic problem though). They were not there before the patch. I'm finishing up the next build and it should be out in about a week or so. Quite a few fixes and tunings. There's also a new feature: randomization in enemy unit models and their loadouts by role, both customizable. It's nice, especially when using the latest version of Colonel Staglers chechen rebels.

KingN 249 Posted March 26, 2012 Hi! New build is here. Added new randomized enemy classes with randomized loadout and some changes and small improvements. Bugs fixed. As this is now closing the first non-beta release I also removed the debug "cheats". Have fun and please report any problems you encounter! The addon version is updated with replaced spetsnaz units and new rebel units.
