Hi Wiki,

Attempted to load the vanilla version of your mission and could not find it in the menu. Simple fix, just placed a period between Fall & Chernarus in the file name.

But when I tried again the following error report was generated:

=====================================================================

I am really looking forward to this mission. Hope this helps. Sincerely, OleGreyGhost

P.S. Disregard the missing ; - that is generated in every report, even for the game missions.

[Wiki 1558]

there are 2 pbo files in the folder:

one vanilla version and one version with mh-53e pack

according to the error that shows up for you, it seems you tried the addon version, without the addons.

plus, it seems that during the converting process, the JPG files were corrupted.

even the normal pbo of version 1.1 says I need the MH-53 addon

[Wiki 1558]

Fixed.

the mh-53 addon was still written in the mission.sqm file whereas it was not needed.... that's where the problem came from.

i deleted it and now it works fine.

Only the mission with addon shows up under 'missions' but np;

a gamebreaker on the other hand is that nobody blows up the chopper after teamleader tells to do so and I myself´ve got no satchels...mission end :(

[Wiki 1558]

@ST.

you should download the v1.1. there was a problem, a period was mission between" fall" and "chernarus" in the pbo, that's why you couldn't see it.

by the way, in the briefing notes, you've got the recommended loadout, and it says to take satchel from the chopper

[ast65 10]

TY, maybe I didn´t read briefing thoroughly :P

[Wiki 1558]

No problem.

give it a try, and tell me if it works and what you thought about the mission (too hard/easy, enough/too much enemies, if the objectives were easy to fullfill...)

thanks

[olegreyghost 14]

Downloaded the fix earlier. Had a blast with the mission.

Briefing was informative & covered all aspects of mission. Enemy placement kept you on your toes & did not overwhelm you.

Difficulty rating would be medium, but then I only play on normal. The flow of the mission kept me involved.

Only problem I had was the long wait time ( 10 min. ) for the AT guy to be told to engage the APC. The wait did not interfere with the mission.

Once he took out the armor, retrieving the pilot & extracting went well.

Thanks for a Great mission... Hope to see some more soon....

v1.3 out

see first post for changelog

Thanks, its an nice simple mission that could use a little polish & tweaks here and there.

Just some ideas:

- change time to early morning so the mission ends at sunrise

- add a UAZ (MG) patrol from Drozhino to Kozlovka and cycle back

- in Kozlovka place a small group of rebels (2-3) at alert around or in some buildings (they probably could hear the choppers...)

- add a team (3-4) on hold close by a campfire to the Venom (perhaps randomize this place)

- add a checkpoint/roadblock between Drozhino and Zelenogorsk

- let the BRDM2 scout and the BMP2 overwatch from checkpoint

- find two more place for hostages so the player has to search & find them (random places)

- maybe make the player become the search & rescue teamleader (after checkpoint is cleared) while AI teams will move into good overwatch/support positions

- once the hostages are found let the S&R team with hostage fly away (rest of AI will secure the area and deploy security perimeters)

- make a little intro/outro

If you add -showScriptErrors to startup parameter you will see some mistakes/errors.

[Wiki 1558]

-I'll see to change the time.

-the UAZ seems to be a good idea.

-there are already guys patrolling in Kozlovka.

-I'll see whether i add guys next to the venom or not. to me, once they've captured the pilot, they have nothing to do at the crash site, that's why there is no one there

-the brdm scouting and bmp on overwatch maybe a good idea, i will do some test first.

-random places for the hostage is a good idea

-i dont think i'm gonna let a team at the village since it's a csar mission: once they've got the pilot, everybody leaves the area. moreover, 10 guys sems to be a little bit short to hold the area.

-intro/outro: dont know how to do it (though i've seen some tuto), and maybe i'm too lazy to do it...

however, if someone whishes to do one, he can contacts me by PM

[spotter001 82]

great mission mate, love it!

[Wiki 1558]

thanks, glad you liked it.

did you encounter any problem? or could you finish it without bug?

[folgore_airborne 1]

I played this mission and had no problems, very good work as always!

[Wiki 1558]

thanks mate. i'm working on 2 other SP mission and my campaign in Fallujah :D

[spotter001 82]

mission looks great but i have a serious problem. There's no demo charges. I can't find them in the mh-53 during infil. I checked the gear inside the chopper but there's no satchels.

[Wiki 1558]

so, i've just checked it out, v 1.3 downloaded from armaholic, and there is no problem:

satchel charges + smaw ARE in the mh-53.

what version of the mission did you try?

Edited March 18, 2012 by Wiki

[spotter001 82]

umm, i'm not sure...the one available for download at Armaholic.

when i check the gear, there are two different parachute packs, stretchers, bandages and some stuff but i can't find demo charges. i have A2:RTF v1.6 and i'm using the latest ACE2. i'm running several other mods but i don't think they interfere with anything.

and yes, there's SMAW as well....but no satchels. i'll download it again and try.

[Wiki 1558]

Arma2 combined ops is required, maybe that is why you dont have the satchel charges?

Other ppl who played it didn't have this problem, so it may come from your game/mods...

[spotter001 82]

strange, cause i not only have the CO but also the additional PMC and BAF addons.

[spotter001 82]

i found the satchels and completed the mission. not sure what caused the problem initially, but i got it working after disabling ACE_SM, ACE_RU and ACE_USNavy. i left ACE and ACEX enabled, similar to few other mods that hadn't worked until i disabled ACE_SM/RU/USN parts.
