[SP/MP] Dynamic Whole Map ArmA3 Missions by SaOk

[Kommiekat 11]

So, you went back from boat insertion to land insertion? I remember the first set of DWM mission at this location. Then your later versions had boat insertion. Now back to this town insertion.

I'm I mixing this with "Whole lot of Stratis"? How are they different? I mean the SP mode.....

[SaOk 112]

SP version should have boat insertion. COOP version have land insertion in the middle of the map. :confused: Going to check if I have mixed with files.

[SWAT_BigBear 0]

0.75 started with the boat insertion for me, I also use dev version.

Hi SaOk, not sure if it's a feature or not but after taking LZ Connor I tried scavenging about for backpacks for me and my squad. I found a few, got all kitted up and restocked then saved it there. Next thing I got hit by mortar so reloaded and all the backpacks and contents my squad had disappeared. I tried this a few times with the same results of missing packs. Wondered if it might be a case were the squad can't use a backpack till after a green flare had been fired at the shore for the secondary mission or if it's just a bug?

Cheers.......MadJock

[SaOk 112]

That sounds like a game bug. :) I dont have any code running for backpacks.

[MadJock 10]

In that case I hope I don't have to start again :( Backpacks are mighty handy.

Cheers.......MadJock

Hi Sa0k

With the latest Alpha release and co-op v.62.7z, I'm getting the following error pop-up every few minutes:

'...ray set [(count _array -1),-1];

_array |#|call_orders;

};

while {true} do

{

wait...'

Error Generic error in expression

file mpmissions\__cur_mp.Stratis\ZonekillerInit.sqf, line 12

[SaOk 112]

There should be space between call and _orders which I have in my files. :S Have you edited the mission? I will check the issue soon myself too. Few days ago I didnt spot that error (still not sure if dedicated server had error messages on).

You need to add autosave every time a campfire is used because right now for me it's simply impossible to capture even the first LZ and when I die I have to restart from before taking that LZ. It's annoying.

Considering that I also have to fight Ifrit GMG there.

Edit: after capturing this LZ for 10th time I got a "destroy enemy mortar" task and only 5 seconds later those mortars killed all of us in the base with a deadly precision. Couldn't even react.

So now I have to capture first LZ again...

Playing this is impossible at the moment. You gotta add the autosave after LZ is captured and do not dynamically spawn any AI before that since I had to fight a chopper too in one of the attempts which made it hopeless.

metalcraze, you can manually save at any point you wish.

I've played this mission enough times to know ya gotta get your arse out of the LZ after capturing it, you should have time to rearm at it tho ;).

The mortar team awaits you to come to them.

[metalcraze 290]

I play on veteran. One save per mission.

Autosave after each task should work more than ok. Otherwise missions seems to be more or less balanced.

[SaOk 112]

You can save the game via radio 0-0-(0 or was it 1). Its unlimited. I havent added much autosaves since the dynamic scripts could bring suprises, sometimes there could be enemy nearby aiming at you, sometimes not. I agree the mission is quite deadly currently. I will add custom accuraty for AI so they would be some less skilled. The chopper comes with 30% change after each alarm.

But I continue working on the mission. Its still very work in progress. I hope the beta (for game) will bring some new nice content too.

[SWAT_BigBear 0]

I'm looking forward to the large island with this mission, I enjoy that you do not have to take any certain path at any time.

[nMarauder 1]

Just wanted to share my appreciation for this mission.

I love the little things about it. For instance, last night, I was in a great firefight with a bunch of Persians in a remote wooded valley. After the fight, I got points for capturing an "Invisible" point. It was great :D

[SimonSays 1]

First of all, thanks for your mission Soak, we tried it yesterday but i did the mistake to use ACE. After we reached the doctor and went back to the crashsite nothing happened, same on the Zub ruin, no conversations. looks like it is not ACE compatible, can you confirm this? greetings SimonSays

[SaOk 112]

Thanks, you both :) - You are mixing the threads (this is for A3 stuff), but the A2 Zub mission works little unstable with ACE. I have played far with it, but sometimes there is weird bugs especially with arrays. The crashsite is the most unstable, I should rework it more which I will do especially with A3 conversion. Will be found in this thread:

i think i have an issue in the SP version, i can't save at all even on recruit or regular , in other missions this don't occur , the word 'save' in the menu its unlighted .

I already tried to remove and then replace this mission but it still don't work , this is a real shame because this mission its awesome .

[SaOk 112]

Thanks, :) are you playing the mission from "Scenarious" (mission-pbo put to missions-folder)? Game saving is working normally for me.

[samco 1]

Resolved , it seems that a mod called mcc_sandbox was causing some problems , now i can save the mission

[russbo 10]

Can one change the difficulty level in these missions, or are they still locked by the game and / or mission structure?

(I'm getting my *ss handed to me on a regular basis here...)

[SaOk 112]

I have been slowly tweaking the mission. Custom AI aiming accuracy is coming too for the next version (not sure yet when ready). Havent yet got much new stuff in, but today I wrote new function for AI camp behaviour. They will now move randomly between guard points, play random some patrolling animations, sit near fireplaces and check near by houses. Also join together as group when alarmed and again move more alone once unalarmed.

I've been trying to play this for the last couple of days but upon landing on the beach my squad won't disembark the boat no matter what I try. Is this a common bug, or am I just that stupid?
