engima 328 Posted May 7, 2013 Hi Mordeton! It's not the mission file that is generated. It's not possible to generate custom files in Arma2, so the generator generates code using the diag_log command. The output is in the arma2oa.rtf file (on Windows 7 located in C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\ArmA 2 OA). Remove the file before you run the generator, then it is recreated and contains the output. The output is in double brackets (""), so replace all these with a single bracket, put the output in a file with the name you mention. Good luck! ---------- Post added at 10:08 ---------- Previous post was at 10:06 ---------- Hi :D First off, I would like to say, I have been thoroughly enjoying this mission :D Secondly, I would like to know how to make the guard that spawns next to me spawn with an RPG or something of that value. I keep coming across BTR and other Armour. So if someone could please help me, that'd be great :D The guard is created somewhere in the end in the file InitServer.sqf. Search for "createUnit" or "guard" and you will find it. ---------- Post added at 10:16 ---------- Previous post was at 10:08 ---------- Whenever I try to make an Escape Chernarus game, I get an error message saying that this content has been deleted CaCharacters_e, I do not know how to fix this could someone help? Hi AWookey! I've not encountered this anytime, byt the problem may be that you use Arma 2 and not Operation Arrowhead. You need Arma 2 Combined Operations to run Escape Chernarus. Armaholic.com says you only need Arma 2, but that is not correct. Seems like I provided the wrong information.

Whimsykiller 10 Posted May 10, 2013 So I read that this was successfully adapted for ACE and ACRE, did anyone ever happen to get their hands on such a map, or a more recent one?

dystopian1 23 Posted May 16, 2013 Engima I've ported your mission to Trinity. Here are some bugs I want to report. InitServer.sqf, commented lines are not needed { //{ _x removeWeapon "ItemMap"; //} foreach _crew; // foreach crew ... } foreach _crew; revive_sqf\dialogs\config.cpp, sound path was wrong name="Brian_Fuck"; sound[]={"revive_sqf\sound\UNIV_v24.ogg",0.05,1.0}; There is a bug which prevents using resistance side as enemy.

Kritz 10 Posted May 29, 2013 Hey there! Some friends and I started playing this mission a few days ago. First of all, it's absolutely great! However, when playing today the NPCs were actively ignoring us most of the time, even when we started shooting at them or drove by in a loud vehicle. All they did was duck down and aim in some direction, most of the time completely opposite to us. We tried different difficulty-modes, normal, easy, extreme. But nothing really changed, not even the tanks or helicopters shot at us, just circled around. Server difficulties we tested: regular/veteran Spawn distance: far Amount of NPCs: A lot Time on server: we tested pretty much everything, day, morning, at night (even NPCs with NVGs didn't 'see' us) Is there a solution for this? I feel like the first two times we played this missions it was extremely difficult to just get away from the chopper or enemy cars because we got shot almost instantly on walking around corners. But since today (nothing has actively changed on our side) the mission has become way too easy. Once the NPCs start shooting, which happens in like 1 out of 50 cases, they have REALLY good aim.. but they have to stop ignoring us first!

elafos 10 Posted June 8, 2013 Just created an account to say how awesome this mission is for Chernarus. Played countless hours with mates, it is different every time. However, sometimes (for unknown reasons) I feel like enemy AI does not even see us and refuse to shoot once we have escaped the camp. Walking straight upto AI faces, even if I shoot them in the leg they don’t shoot back. Just thought I would register this bug somewhere with the quote below.

WinstonSmith 1 Posted June 22, 2013 First off thanks Engima for this fantastic mission, I enjoyed it so much I've started a port for Taviana island. Your port tools have made it a nice easy process so far :s If I don't find any game breaking bugs I will release to the public. Anyone interested in testing you will need Taviana island and filter for UKGZ. More details found at www.uk-gaming-zone.co.uk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

malau 10 Posted September 8, 2013 How do you find a map ? Also revive never works, noone ever answers my call for help, even with AI standing all around me, noone helps me, which means constant restarting. A game-breaker for me is the lack of a SAVE feature, or even the lack of an option to turn save on or off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mike187 13 Posted September 8, 2013 Enemy soldiers carry maps. The revive script never worked for me with AI. Its more for coop playing as you have more time to revive your buddies. The default BI injury module works fine with AI tho. But it's not in this mission. Would love to see this mission also in the new released Sahrani map. Did anyone try to port the mission yet? ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
johnnyrocket 10 Posted September 16, 2013 Arma 3: Escape Altis. It needs this. It needs that trapped like a rat feeling. There's plenty of buildings could start out like a jail or interrogation room. Then do some room clearing to escape the building and from there plan how to get off the island. I wouldn't want to call in a evac cause I would think they got captured doing some kind of Denied ops and Nato will deny ever sending them there if they talked. So a few boats and helicopters here and there. sort of the same but..not. We need this! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vormulac 13 Posted September 22, 2013 (edited) I have a port on A3's Stratis that I've been working on and am almost done. I'm going to be running testing on my dedicated server tomorrow evening and if everything works out well I'll post it. It's basically a straight port of the original, only issue I've really run into so far is that the A3 future soldiers are much better at killing you than the boring old present soldiers of A2. Hopefully I can get all the kinks worked before I hit the sack tomorrow and if it's 'ready' like I said I'll post it. Edit: Once I get this one all polished up I'm going to port it to Altis which should be pretty straightforward. Edit2: Ran into some issues testing tonight. Should have a build posted by Wednesday.
