What Is MSO? Multi Session Operations is a modular mission framework. Essentially it is a collection of scripts that create a persistent, living scenario in which the player operates. Unlike regular missions that have pre-scripted objectives, MSO procedurally generates enemy forces that are unpredictable and (semi) random. Players have to think beyond the mere tactical level and build up the intelligence picture, carrying out recce patrols to identify enemy locations and conduct deliberate attacks to neutralise them. Everything is persistent, including equipment, ammo, vehicles and even player lives. MSO is designed specifically for Dedicated Server use. Recommended Settings / Peformance Due to the dynamic nature of MSO and its reliance on scripting to generate ambience and dynamic enemy, it can be resource intensive. The default settings are the recommended ones for most maps (although I would recommend All Factions for ambient air if used). If you have a large map with lots of locations (Chernarus) or a large number of players you will want to consider disabling or dialling down ambience or enemy. If you enable ALL the modules, please do not ask us why it performs so poorly. Credits The MSO team would like to welcome HighHead and WobblyHeadedBob to the dev team!

JuggernautOfWar 1 Posted March 11, 2012 Do we really need a dedicated server for this to work? I only have local server capability. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
friznit2 350 Posted March 11, 2012 No you don't need a dedi, but i's highly recommended. The amount of stuff being thrown at the server by MSO will make a LAN hosted game quite slow, although it's perfectly workable if you turn a lot of the ambient stuff off and reduce the enemy % down some Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JuggernautOfWar 1 Posted March 11, 2012 If only I had the extra $1K for a server machine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
highhead 20 Posted March 11, 2012 Do we really need a dedicated server for this to work? I only have local server capability. you can start up the armaoaserver with cba and combined ops loaded as mods and then just start up arma both on your local machine and then connect to your server over the regular arma server browser. It works for me very well Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

friznit2 350 Posted March 11, 2012 Difference being you can keep it running in the background with persistant mode on and continue to JIP, whereas a locally hosted LAN game will end when you disconnect. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tomeek 10 Posted March 12, 2012 Hi, i've been playing MSO 4.2 on several maps yesterday and i have a question. Why every single time the first mission is to ambush enemy convoy? It's normal? I played on default settings. Also, do you have some extra documentation where explain what every module do? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
highhead 20 Posted March 12, 2012 (edited) Hi, i've been playing MSO 4.2 on several maps yesterday and i have a question. Why every single time the first mission is to ambush enemy convoy? It's normal? I played on default settings. Also, do you have some extra documentation where explain what every module do? those are "standard tasks", when "CRB Convoys"-Module is active. CRB Convoys also has been integrated to PO2 in the meanwhile -> just turn "Enemy convoy Intensity" to "None", in mission-parameters at mission-startup and there will only be a convoy tasking when you sign in to special operations at MHQ! here is some documentation.

AndreMR 1 Posted March 13, 2012 (edited) In CLAfghan only one HQ is showing patrol ops option (BAF one). Can we have both HQ (BAF and US) showing patrol ops options? I had removed recruitment module and R3F_Logistics only. Thank you guys!! Edited March 13, 2012 by Redhawk13 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
heklos 0 Posted March 13, 2012 (edited) Question. I have tried two of the missions on my local dedicated server. In each one after I die for the first time, the mission will end with "a new life in XXXX hrs" this happens even with re-spawning in a new slot. Is that by design? If so is there a setting I need to use to stop that from happening? This was with the default settings that the mission starts with when first starting it up for a game. Also with vanilla Arma 2 CO no mods, except clients with sound/warFX Thanks. Edited March 13, 2012 by heklos Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Im already working on a different method of signing in to special operations over communication-menu so it is independent of the hqs. And tup is also working on an air-ops version (special ops for aircrafts). I tested yesterday and its quite nice for its experimental status! Should be ready with next version.

This is by design - to have ppl care about there lives it is restricted. So if you have 3 lives per day refreshing after 1 day, yu wil have 1 live evry 8 hours. Yu can easily set the lives to 'unlimited' in the mission parameters - actually the first thing you should do when setting up an mso is to go thru the parameters at mission startup, you will be pleased how much can be configured!

heklos 0 Posted March 13, 2012 Ok thanks, I did check it out and there are soo many options its great thanks for all the hard work on this. So it tracks it based on the actual player not what slot they take then? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So it tracks it based on the actual player not what slot they take then? It tracks on the player-id, so no matter what slot you take. If class-restriction is on, you would need to take the same slot (soldier-class) as when you connected first time - or you would also be disconnected (so i recommend to turn that off also).
