Variable 322 Posted December 3, 2012 Thanks Iceman! What's the exact respawnvive mechanism of the missions? Can it be set to zero? If so, are the missions even possible without it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iceman77 18 Posted December 3, 2012 It's unlimited respawn @ base. MHQ use is unlimited. I was thinking about adding "revive" or atleast limiting respawn amount via parameter. As of now, the only way to fail a mission is to reach civ casualty cap (set by parameter). Maybe in an update I'll include revive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iceman77 18 Posted December 4, 2012 Okay so after integrating DAc civs, members of reduced groups don't catch the killed eventhandler, excluding the leader. I'm working to fix this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iceman77 18 Posted December 4, 2012 (edited) Update / Fix: *Added norrins revive / lives parameter *Killed eventhandlers are now properly applied to dac generated civilians Edited December 4, 2012 by Iceman77 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pd3 25 Posted December 4, 2012 Will this mod clash with AI altering mods such as ASR_AI? That is to say, do you create ai with additional variables other than the basic skill number? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iceman77 18 Posted December 4, 2012 The maps use DACv3. The DAC generate random Ai and patrol paths/waypoints. I'm not sure if it would clash with asr_ai.. I see nps though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pd3 25 Posted December 4, 2012 The maps use DACv3. The DAC generate random Ai and patrol paths/waypoints. I'm not sure if it would clash with asr_ai.. I see nps though Yeah, I have used DAC with my own creations, and it seems to work fine. I just wasn't sure if you had implemented any customizations. There are some gameplay altering missions such as Mark50bk's Apocalypse that fundamentally clash with AI mods, so I thought I'd ask. Either way, it looks good, I'm going to give it a go and see what its like. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Defiance44 1 Posted December 8, 2012 takes like 30 minutes just to load (DAC initialization?) I want to play, not wait 30 minutes for it to initialize! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iceman77 18 Posted December 9, 2012 (edited) takes like 30 minutes just to load (DAC initialization?) I want to play, not wait 30 minutes for it to initialize! It's not supposed to in any case...if you literally mean 30 minutes. The longest dac init should be in the mission Twisted Fork, where it takes ~3minutes, because it's generating a large amount of random units and waypoints. Did you join while the mission was already running? Which mission was it? Did the DAc finish initializing for you? Was the server/players using any mods? I appreciate any feedBack. Just let me know. If it causes problems I can take the dac init screen out. Else it can stay, it's an easy way to prevent players from hot wheeling it to the objectives as soon as the mission starts, before the dac is done initializing. In that case, the feedback would be "units are spawning on/around me out of thin air" ---------- Post added at 17:15 ---------- Previous post was at 16:34 ---------- Update: unless they JIP within the first 60 seconds of the mission, JIP players will no longer receive the dac init screen.
