co30 Hohei Evolution 2 - the Evolution must go on!

[Psychobastard 136]

Oh, that sounds good. I have a ticket on dev heaven from IceBreakr with the wish to build up Hohei Evo on his islands. --> https://dev-heaven.net/issues/23801

I would like to integrate them in the official release if you allow me that. It saves me a lot of time back then, because I would have done it anyway, sooner or later.

The localities and boarders from any island are located automatically. You have only define the coordinates of the maintargets.

Can you do a port to Duala map as well pls ?

[jedra 11]

@Psycho - the Duala conversion is nearly complete (ACE and None-ACE - Blue only so far). I just need to get those two arrays I asked about populated for Duala units - had to do some real work today!!

I have followed your convention and created a __Duala__ global (and a __Duala global where necessary) and have changed the code slightly to cope. i.e. where you had;

#ifdef __Takistan__
...
#else  //assumes Chernarus
...
#endif

I have changed to;

#ifdef __Takistan__
..
#endif

#ifdef __Duala__
..
#endif

#ifdef __Chernarus__
..
#endif

I don't think pre-processor commands have a 'SWITCH/CASE' construct, so this will have to do!

When you have released you hotfix, I'll diff it against the old code and port over the changes to my conversion and hand it over to you!

[Psychobastard 136]

Sounds good. You have chosen the right path!

Used to play Hohei Evo but stopped as you stopped releasing updates which you stated was coming in the week. I was just wondering if you are busy with RL work and that is why you have not released 2.07. Hope all is good and looking forward to furture updates of the awesome Hohei Evo.

[Psychobastard 136]

Thats right - work is going on!

In the upcomming two weeks i will found the time to work again on the new version. But i want to release first another hotfix version. The upcomming is not the final 2.07 version.

hi psycho,

yesterday i played hohei evolution for the first time. i noticed 2 times an "arma 2 has stopped working" (just the dedi server not my own arma 2.exe) after approx 10mins of gameplay with 3 of my friends on an internet based game.

i started the dedi server on my own system. this error has never happened with other maps like xeno domination or benny warfare.

any ideas?

regards r.

Did you play ArmA2 only version? Any Mods? Your .rpt avalible?

If you play the ArmA2-only version please try it again with a earlier version and look if it happens again. (version 2.05, you can found it here) It seems like we have a curious bug in ArmA2-only version that crashes the server after a while. But in version 2.05 and earlier nobody had reported some similar problems.

Hi Psycho,

hohei 206 is SO MUCH better than 205.. PLEASE DO SOMETHING! Is there any workaround for 206? Our server keeps crashing after 10 - 15min. :(

p.s: do you know whether this is related to arma 2 only? what about arma 2 free?

regards and thanks r.

Edited March 18, 2012 by r4m0n

[Psychobastard 136]

What was the relsult of your tests? Did 2.05 not crash but 2.06? Can you find a special point in the game when it crashes? Maybee first contact with enemys, first use of a spcific car... anything? It is realy important for my to know more abot it. Otherwise i don't know where i have to search for a error. Cause all version use the same code and oa+co versions work fine.

And what is so much better in 2.06 as 2.05?

Sure, you can the a2 versions play with a2free too.

hi psycho,

205 never crashed. not one single time. i dont know what exactly is causing 206 to crash but it happens when more people are joining the server.

why 206 is better:

1. weapons are available from the weapons cache as they should be. in 205 only limited weaponry is available regardless of rank etc.

2. ai recruiting is available in 206 which is completely missing in 205. very usefull for recruiting a pilot / crewman who can assist you as gunner in your heli.

p.s. just started a 206 again. it seems as if the game crash is somehow related to the ai. my game crashed after my gunner died. dont know if that helps.... (error in win7 is: arma 2 stopped working.) thats all.. nothin more

After many hours of testing i have found the problem for the CTD's in A2-only versions!

It's a bug in the game self and i will first time build a work around to fix it for the Hohei Evo. If you like that BIS fix this bug in future patches please vote for this in CIT. (i have create a ticket for this: https://dev-heaven.net/issues/29490)

The game crashes are fixed with upcoming release of Hohei Evolution in next time. (i work this time again on it ;) )

[r4m0n 1]

very very nice!!! thanks for your hard work!! works perfectly here..

i just noticed one thing so far: there is one heli with sidewinders only. if equipped with an ai gunner the gunner shoots 1 sidewinder and the sidewinder message in the upper right corner gets red. that means with ai you are just allowed to shoot 1 sidewinder. that does not happen if you have no ai gunner.

regards and thanks again ;O)

Hope you will at least support A2 BLUE only version in future.

[JuggernautOfWar 1]

So it's been a while since I've been actively following Hohei. What's the overall status right now? When I left you were working on side missions and numerous bug fixes for RED versions.

I'd like to request a Falluja version of the mission as it's my favorite map and this is my favorite mission. As it is now I have to use GITS which is a pain in the ass because there's about 20 mods required for that mission.

Could I maybe port the mission over to Falluja? I'm not sure how to do that but I assume it's not as simple as copy paste

When editing the mission I see no respawn script for the aircraft. How do we add vehicle respawn if for example we add a Harrier to the mission?

Also as a side note I can test unreleased versions on my private dedicated server if you need some mp testing.

[Psychobastard 136]

Hi,

port the mission to other islands is simplier as you think!

- Copy&Paste the hole content what you can see in the editor to the other island.

- Copy&Paste the hole script packet to the new foldwer with your new mission.sqm

- make your settings in setup.sqf to choose the version

- make a doubble click at the setupcopy.bat and the setup.sqf and macros.sqf will c&p automatically in all needed folders and locations

- open the i_common.sqf and go to line #252 where you can find the following content

EVO_all_possible_towns = [

[[2733.7,5306.05,0],"Zelenogorsk",300], // 0

];

Every line is a maintarget. The numbers are the position ix [x,y,z], next is the OA name, and the radius for the OA. Simply read out the coords for any OA you wish to add and rewrite it there.

- to create a route or define how many towns have to resolved go to line #57 in the init.sqf. You found following content - its commented and self explaining.

switch (E_Towns) do {

case 1: {EVO_maintargets = [21,5,0,1,2,22,15,3,20]}; //9 town standard-route on chernarus

case 2: {EVO_maintargets = [15,4,11,2,1,23,19]}; //coast route

case 3: {EVO_maintargets = (count EVO_all_possible_towns) call XfRandomIndexArray}; //random all

case 4: {EVO_maintargets = [EVO_all_possible_towns,1] call PsyfRandomCountedIndexArray}; //1 random town

case 5: {EVO_maintargets = [EVO_all_possible_towns,3] call PsyfRandomCountedIndexArray}; //3 random towns

case 6: {EVO_maintargets = [EVO_all_possible_towns,5] call PsyfRandomCountedIndexArray}; //5 random towns

case 7: {EVO_maintargets = [EVO_all_possible_towns,8] call PsyfRandomCountedIndexArray}; //8 random towns

};

- after you do this dont forget to have a look at the description.ext at line #42. Make sure these entries are fit together with your defined routes

The number of OA's is not important as long as you make the adjustments listed here.

It will be more difficulty if you want to add other units. For example you like to play with the molatian army.

regards

btw: to add a new vehicle to the existing respawn system simply place it on the map - that it was!

A short info about the state and the progress of Hohei Evolution:

At the moment i haven't realy just to work on the Hohei Evolution. All existing features and functions work very well. All planed features need a lot of work and have a great potential of new errors for the existing content.

Another problem is by myself: All i knows about scripting i have learn by myself and i learn more and more. At the moment my knowledge is bigger as the realized in the Hohei Evo. Caused by my perfectionism i like to rework some stuff to improve the performance more and more. That needs a lot of time again.

At the moment my focus is on two goals:

1st: To stabilize and imrove the Hohei Evolution as good as well to make all ready for a quick release after A3 is out.

2nd: I work more and more on my other and newer big project. This project requires at least as much time as the development before the first release of Hohei Evo. Cause i want to release this also near to the A3 release i have to hurry up!
