GITS Evolution (new main thread)

[dragon01 903]

Is this mod multiplayer only? Are there any SP missions?

[fs_twister 1]

I've been playing GITS Evolution mostly in single player LAN with multiple saves (very limited time for a propper online session during the week). That 12 respawn bug really ruined me a couple of started games and I was really liking the modded experience, so this weekend I've decided to mod by myself the standard missions which appeared worked just fine (could respawn indefinetly). After a whole day of trial and error I think I discovere the root cause, so hope this can help if you did not found it already. On my end the problem appeared only when adding the RKSL Eurofighter jet (which is one of the best planes I could fly in ARMA). Without it I can play it just fine with extra weapons and some of the other planes/vehicles from the modded missions. As soon as that is added the 12 respawn bug appears. I died a lot during the weekend to test the theory in all the maps ;)

Hope this helps!

Thanks for the great work you guys did on this mission and hope to join sometimes on your public server as well.

Nice job on finding it. eggbeast will be pleased :).

i am - thanks Alex - this is amazing feedback.

we have just spent a long time porting over a bug-free mission to CL Afghan map - here you go as a reward for your efforts!

we were next going to do all of the things you have just done for us - so THANK YOU very much mate - this is awesome work! saved me a load of time

we'll have to report the bug to the RKSL Rock who i think developed the eurofighter. we also noticed a problem with one of the planes (the mutli role CAS one) where if you crash it on the runway you get 4fps for about 20 mins (during the time the wreck/fire is active?) if you move within 1000m of it

to run this mission you only need the map

and the mission

edit: this is now updated with a couple of fixes

but i also recommend these addons

patch the blazes_weapons by putting this improved file into it (enables strobe locator on friendlies in the apache pilot/gunner auto-switch

This is a multiplayer mission. Some versions require mods and some don't. You can play this by yourself by running a LAN server.

Will all the others be updated very soon?

[eggbeast 3685]

yeah - they all need a little more work - am very busy with RL at the moment, so this is quite a breakthrough - we have a fully functioning mission here. need to edit it a little to finesse the side missions.

other than that, the black screen joiner bug is gone andthe 12 spawn freeze is gone, and we've added loads of atmospheric support sounds, so well happy with it atm

the ac130 is updated

the R3F logistics is built in

bloodscreen and rug_dsai is built in

the backpacks have all been revised and improved - you can carry one with an MG now, full of MG ammo, which is great

other missions will get same treatment soon i promise - most of the work is done tbh

[HazJ 1289]

Nice port to CL Afghan, am glad you changed the intro because it was annoying that you had to wait. Love the cleaner base and FOBs. Two Harriers at the HMS GITS explode from the start of the mission, none of the Harriers/other stuff are on the deck. Maybe think of some names for the unnamed towns and place markers on them. Enjoying it alot and have not found no other bugs.

Can not teleport to FARP Bravo or Charlie - only Alpha.

[HazJ 1289]

Furture suggestions:

Update Spy scripts a bit, maybe add a parameter in the lobby on how many times your weapon can be hidden for example: 3/5/10/Unlimited. Could enable Spy to enter civilian vehicles like SUV. Add different loadouts.

thanks for feedback haz

re: Update Spy scripts maybe add a parameter in the lobby on how many times your weapon can be hidden for example: 3/5/10/Unlimited.

I did think about this when designing it - it isn't really necessary - the spy is fun with 6 hides - they get rumbled pretty randomly so fiddling with the settings won't achieve much - especially as they get reset on death.

Entering a vehicle is a no-no as you could then run over all the enemy lol

Two Harriers at the HMS GITS explode from the start of the mission, none of the Harriers/other stuff are on the deck.

yeah we chucked it in from sahrani map - need to take the carrier out

Maybe think of some names for the unnamed towns and place markers on them.

what do you mean? we call them Hill 215 or whatever feature is nearest.

Can not teleport to FARP Bravo or Charlie - only Alpha.

Did you try unlocking it in paramaters (MHQ's, No MHQ's, All farps available)?

[HazJ 1289]

Yes but still no FARP Bravo or Charlie, only Alpha.

[eggbeast 3685]

http://www.gitsarma.gamingdeluxe.net/missions/GITSEvolution-Brit_V2.clafghan.pbo

try our latest haz and set parameters to All FARP's at startup

we have tested this and it works

[HazJ 1289]

Working on GITS Evolution Afghan UK v2 now, thanks Eggbeast. Have you moved the base on this ver ?

[eggbeast 3685]

yes - and the town rotation is better

[HazJ 1289]

Bugs found: I loose soldiers under my command when I die. I could not remove the Recon vehicle when I join the server ~ Flipped said this is because I did not deploy it and that you must destroy it first, maybe delete the Recon vehicle on exit of that slot.

[eggbeast 3685]

yeah the auto demotion when you die/ kill yourself is a little odd

the recon we cope with cos it works fine otherwise

[eggbeast 3685]

updated 25/2/12

[grensvegter 10]

the link to the mission is not working?

[kremator 1065]

Works for me. Grats on release :)

[eggbeast 3685]

yeah we're testing a new approach to the convoy side missions - pairing objective markers about 2km apart and then having the convoy spawn at A and drive to B, enabling a much better side mission result - the convoys aren't trying to pathfind to a random marker 15km away etc

once we know this all works fine we'll roll it out to all maps/ missions

[grensvegter 10]

Works for me. Grats on release :)

it may work for you but i live on a different continent which gamingdeluxe.net does not like it seems, any other mirror would be welcome thanks.

[eggbeast 3685]

now trying this upgraded mission

http://www.gitsarma.gamingdeluxe.net/missions/GITSEvolution-Brit_V3.clafghan.pbo

you may have tried to download it while i was overwriting it one time?been a lot of traffic to this file recently

updated today:

engineer can now make a farp with any repair truck (including taki/russian ones) - added to init.sqf an array of repair vehicles and edited etenet sqf to check for presence of anything in this list for engineer making FARP

L39 gets a couple of bombs and 2 aphids

AN2 gets a box of grenades and twin vickers MG (and a sack of bricks)

all side missions now working ok i think

- assassination is a beauty - climb on building next to mosque in central city (international hotel marker on map) and snipe the warlord from the roof...

- water patrol works fine on river/ boathouse spawns boats just north of FOB

reduced the distance to 30m that radio tower and office default markers appear on map to your squad - makes it much more rewarding to be stealthy

reconnected reinforcement delay timer (set in parameters)

fixed air unit fly in height as they can now cope with the afghan mountain heights

added MV22 with cannon

truck park at FOB has a range of statics to load in using R3F logistics - great for defending the other FOB's

AC130 spooky works really well

base raiders come from one of two nearby cities so you never feel safe on the road out

I would like to play this (these) missions. But I only have Operation Arrowhead. Reading some it says that some works with OA....Anyone have tips of exactly which files/parts will work with just OA? I'm moreso interested in playing sometimes offline play. Does it work like that?

Does someone know what files I need? Is there a one file download for it all so I can weed thru it?

[JuggernautOfWar 1]

Whenever I try to open any of the download links I get a "bandwidth exceeded" error.

[eggbeast 3685]

BraTTY go here for OA only version from Psycho
