MCC Sandbox - The Mod

[shay_gman 272]

This would be a very nice feature in my opinion, I appreciate any consideration you give this. I do understand that it would be quite a bit of work, so I would understand if you turn down the addition of my idea.

After spending that much time on Windows Paint how can I let you down?

I have the arge of getting back to this...

I have lots of plans and I might even do this thing you ask, but first bugs fixing. damn you Skyrim.

@Lonestar what do you mean fast rope isn't working? do the chopper arive at all? does it go into auto hover?

BTW updated the manual link.

Lol, Skyrim. You are my buddy then. I've been a member of TES since 2003 and my user name is the same as here. Anyways, it's great to hear that you will continue doing more stuff for MCC. I wish Bethesda had a realtime editor.

The chopper arrives and auto-hovers but no rope.

Thanks for the link update.

So it is working, at the time there wasn't an option to call the AI to deploy the ropes so the player should take the rope from the chopper gear and deploy it.

I'll fix that for auto deploying for next update.

[Lonestar 11]

If I'm calling an AI evac chopper I'm not expected to be in the chopper. :confused:

I also noticed you didn't update your mission name and description.

briefingName="CO_MCC_SANDBOX_V1.6.1";

briefingDescription="*** CO_MCC_SANDBOX_V1.6.1 ***";

Will you update the mission version?

No i'm not working on the mission version any more.

Well, if you are calling an AI chopper for extraction are you expecting using fast rope? are you planing climbing up the ropes to the chopper? :j: then it's going to be slow rope :D

The evac was planed in mind to get into action and out of action. Probably at the insertion you'll be using fast rope and on extraction the chopper will land.

[Lonestar 11]

I thought the crew would get out, the name is misleading.

Too bad you won't be updating the mission anymore.

This may seem an odd question, but is there a way to disable MCC without taking it out of the mod line? The addon version is fantastic, and I'd like to keep it as a permanent resident in our custom addon pack for general use, but for some missions I'd like to disable it to prevent conflicts and/or take away the temptation for people to fiddle.

Options might be to make it dependent on an editor module/gamelogic drop in, or add a more robust login so it's limited to server admin or someone with a password?

[Sleep 10]

Thanks shay for looking into the waypoints possibility, Franklin and I used this almost exclusively on the server and thats one of the most needed functions we could use currently.

Edit: finally found my password for my user name here.... i havnt been on in awhile and was supposed to ask about this months ago.

MCC link has been updated,

Added a module (logic 2d editor) to restrict player and/or roles access to MCC.

MCC is normally open which means it will run for all if you didn't restrict it.

From the front page:

Instructions:

Basically all you have to do is run the mod and you'll get a "mission generator" action in the action menu on every single or multiplayer mission.

If you want to confine which players or roles can access MCC you can do it by placing the MCC sandbox module in the 2d editor.

Then you can either sync units to it, only those units will have the MCC access, or you can set a variable to the module with the name of the players which have access to the module.

this setvariable ["names",["shay_gman","Spirit"]];

If you want to let anyone access to MCC just don't put the module.

Well there is only 3 ways there:

- Discipline. this means you order nobody in as it is clear that the chat messge shows somebody is logging into mcc. You simply warn him/boot him.

- Login at start of mission nobody can login.

- limit acces by shays words.

Where i am from its not an issue. I mean, nobody can secretly login. Its shown by chat message. If that user is an issue, then that is what it is. A user issue.

Mission Control Center Sandbox (MCC Sandbox) - MOD Version



Community Base Addons

[DZR_Mikhail 14]

Can I somehow set this:

this setvariable ["names",["shay_gman","Spirit"]];

not by placing module, but by a script command?

For example like ACE vars:

publicVariable 'ace_sys_wounds_leftdam';

ace_sys_repair_default_tyres= true;

may be there's smt like

publicVariable 'shay_mcc_names';

shay_mcc_names= ["name1","name2"];

---------- Post added at 04:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:13 PM ----------

Is it the right one?

mcc_sandbox_module

Will this command work if executed on a unit's init in the editor?

mcc_actionInedx = [['> Mission generator', '\mcc_sandbox_mod\mcc\dialogs\mcc_PopupMenu.sqf', [], 0, false, false, 'teamSwitch' ]] call CBA_fnc_addPlayerAction;

---------- Post added at 04:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:25 PM ----------

P.s. What do you think about making a second Module and variable which will restrict admin login not by a nickname, but by the unique Arma2 OA ID?

[shay_gman 272]

@Zvukoper,

About the first part, you can't because if you won't place the module every one will have free acess to MCC, well at least the first one who log in.

About the second part, well you can try. I'm not sure...

[McMick 10]

Any chance of someone mirroring the manual? The bandwidth limit has been reached on the current link.

Edit: I uploaded it to multiupload:

I don't know how long it will last, as I did it without an account. Hope this helps.

EDIT: I couldn't get it to work but I read through the thread again and figured it out. The problem is the mod doesn't extract with the files in the right folders and you have to manually make Addons and Keys folders and move the files into them. It may be because I used IZArc, not 7zip.

Why not using Six Updater?

[cuel 25]

I have @cba and @mcc_sandbox loaded into CO but nothing's happening in-game. Don't have the module or anything.

I can't reproduce it, tried it on Host MP, Lan MP, Dedicated MP, SP. For me ACE CAS is working. Try testing it on Uthes or Chernarus.

I'm having the same problem. The ACE-specific features don't work (Gun runs/BLU etc), but the Rockets and JDAM work. Also, sometimes the planes don't spawn. UAVs don't work for me either (using the manual).

[shay_gman 272]

Give me more info guys: which island? dedicated or LAN? as host or client? updated from SU or manually? Beta version?
