[MP]Taviana ACE Domination

[XTheHybridX 10]

This is a port of Xeno's Domination to the Taviana map. The port was done by me, XTheHybridX. This started off being just something me and a few friends could play together, then I decided that all of you people out in the ArmA 2 community could have it as well. The main base is the Southwest airfield, and the USS Nimitz is off the west coast of the lower island. It is carrying two F/A-18 "Super Hornets." Please note that not all 4 versions have the USS Nimitz,F/A-18s, and ACRE. Make sure you use the correct one for your server, otherwise you will experience problems.

Update: Now included with the download, 4 new versions of the port. They are non-ACE versions of all previous editions of the port.

Change log: v5 Fixed ammo box not spawning in non-ACE versions of mission.

v4 Added in non-ACE versions of port. Fixed up the spawn areas a bit.

v3 Fixed Chopper repair factory, fixed base defense, added versions without aircraft carrier.

v2 Added ACRE version, small fixes

v1 original port

Currently working on: Fixing the side missions. Adding a few more gear boxes at the starting point. Making the bases in all 8 versions a bit more similar. (Basically they all have different features, so with one version you'll have say, an apache, and with others you wont.)

Note - Base design is subject to change. The actual base could be different than the base in these pictures.

Post video links of your experiences on the thread and I'll put them here! (Maybe, depends on how often I look at the thread, since I don't normally revisit threads I start too often.)

Too install simply put the .pbo into the ArmA 2 MPMissions folder. The paths for Steam users are

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\Steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead\MPMissions

I unfortunately don't know the path for non-Steam users

Thanks to all of you to download!!!

Special thanks to Bushlurker for making the excellent tutorial on how to port Domination2 to other islands.

Please give feedback about any problems with the port.

Very nice thing you made, but I have some problems (or maybe I am just stupid :))

I like the Nimitz very much but I don't see how to get the Planes on deck. I can get the plane on the Elevator, but it doesn't have a reverse-gear, so I don't get the FA18 away from the Elevator. I think we would need a Towingtractor, or is there a button I missed?

Oh and I think it would be awesome to play the Map with ACRE.

Thanks for the Mission anyway

[XTheHybridX 10]

You can actually turn the F/A-18 with the nose wheel steering sharp enough to turn around entirely and get onto the deck. I know it sounds crazy, but it works. I'll think about adding towing tractors though, may add to the realism. As for acre, I figure out how to get that to work with the mission, perhaps a separate download that people who would like to use ACRE can use. Thanks for the feed back!:)

Geez, this really works. :D Thanks.

[XTheHybridX 10]

Glad to help! ;)

Nice port, can you make a ver without ACE please ?

[XTheHybridX 10]

Sure.

[pressytcn 10]

very nice mission but i am having some trouble running it on a dedicated server i am only getting read from bank when using TA2DST any idea what might cause this ?

[HazJ 1288]

Check your arma2oaserver.RPT :)

[XTheHybridX 10]

Edit: I guess I should be a bit more specific as to who I'm speaking too.

@pressytcn Sorry I can't really help you. I've never run a dedicated server before. I only really made this port to have something me and a few friends could play. If you still haven't sovled the problem I could do a few Google searches to help you out.

i coulden't make it run over the server tool it seems to be an issue with mod maps i can run it perfectly over the ingame mp option

[XTheHybridX 10]

@pressytcn Check this thread out. http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?136347-Dedicated-server-wont-run-mission

Hope it helps, and if it doesn't I'll keep doing research to try and help you. Like I said before, I've never actually run a dedicated server, only a server through the ingame start server button.

If anyone has any idea as to how to change the locations of side missions, please let me know. It would greatly increase the amount of time it takes to fix the side missions.

[Destroyermike12 10]

This port would be better if you added a Moab in it but your a bum

[XTheHybridX 10]

No Michael, a M.O.A.B. would not make it better.

[HazJ 1288]

Where is the ammo box at base ? I cannot find it...

[XTheHybridX 10]

@dirtyh It should be right behind where you spawn in, right in the area surrounded by the walling. If it isn't then which version of the mission are you using so I can fix the positioning.

[Destroyermike12 10]

Give me dat moab

[XTheHybridX 10]

@dirtyh I've fixed it. You can now download the fix from the first page.

@Destroyermike12 I'm not adding in a M.O.A.B.

[Destroyermike12 10]

Everyone who wants a Moab in the map say yes

[XTheHybridX 10]

@Destroyermike12 Michael, are you going to cause problems on the thread?

[Sancho42 10]

First of all: Nice work! ;)

my question:

It was ported from xeno domination. which version?

2.71?

thanks

[Destroyermike12 10]

You should add this into it http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=15858

[XTheHybridX 10]

Sorry for the long waited replies.

@Sancho42 According to my folder of original domi maps, it is 2.11. If there has been any updates I will do my best to update the port to the latest version.

@Destroyermike12 I'll make one for us to play on and put a poll up to see if people want an official AC-130 port.
