Night of Nights - Coop for I44 Normandy

[160thSixgun 106]

Hey guys,

I LOVE I44 and have spent WAY too much time enjoying it. I also was inspired to make a mission for the excellent Normandy map, and here it is. It's my first major ArmA 2 mission and I hope you all enjoy it.

2nd Platoon, F Company, 506th PIR is undertaking a special assignment separate from the rest of the Regiment. You are tasked with the securing of a road leading from the eastern causeway, and reducing of German defenses in that area.

As your plane approaches the drop zone, it shudders from intense ground fire. The Lieutenant and most of 1st Squad are killed, and the plane is starting to burn. Along with a few other troopers, you push to the door and bail out. Hopefully you will survive the short trip to the ground. Welcome to France.

Mission won't start on our dedicated server.

oac_core is the issue that is found in mission.sqm

Try to keep third party addons away from your game when you make missions.

BTW. If I remove those oac and mission starts, AI is stupid as hell and can't see / shoot anything.

Working on a patch that will be up today.

Here is Version 2 of the mission, with the following fixes:

OAC_Core no longer needed

Enemy AI much more effective

Enemy troops move in properly at final objective marker.

I44_COOP_8_Night_Of_Nights_v2.I44_Omaha.pbo

Thanks for the input guys, it makes me a better mission maker.

Thanks for new version :)

Which is the mission.sqm file ONLY inside the pbo and that really scares me when I think to myself what such file could do to my computer ;)

i like i44 mod and i play all missions i can download. But i think you must work a little more with that mission, my sugestion: add overview, and briefing, mission without briefing its not too good choise. If you dont know how to make briefings unpbo someone else mission copy briefing and change all sections, thats the easy way to lern how to make briefing in mission.

[160thSixgun 106]

That's very odd as I spent quite a lot of time putting together an extensive briefing for this mission. Back to the drawing board.

Wenn mission start i have script error [dont remember the text] and maybe thats the rison i dont have briefing i will start this mission few times tonight and check this and give you feedback. Maybe it was my fault.

Hi,

Trying to run this on the dedi server and I get

script inko_sfs.sqf not found

The mission then refuses to start. Is there another dependency other than I44 that I am missing?

EDIT ---->

It seems you call that script in two of your AA gun inits. You forgot to include the script in the package ;-)

When you change the name of a mission in the editor, say to increase the version number, it doesn't copy over all the extra files, just the mission.sqm.

That's all that's in the current I44_COOP_8_Night_Of_Nights_v2.I44_Omaha.pbo at the above link. Copy over the extra files from I44_COOP_8_Night_Of_Nights.I44_Omaha.pbo and repack and it should be good. Poke me on Steam if ya need help. :)

Ps: why you use hotfix for the old version of i44 for arma 2 v2.2?

I use i44 v 2.5 and patch v2.51 for arma 2 co thats the new version of this mod this mission need that old patch ? Or did i dont understand somthing.

[160thSixgun 106]

Unbelievable. That script is right there in the folder and on it's way to PBOdom it disappears?

I'll get this right if it kills me.

It's a good thing I have a full head of hair, but this is probably making it all go gray.

OK here is the final fixed link. Please test for me guys to confirm it's good to go. Thanks again!
