Holy moly, that is the biggest changelog I've ever seen for a mission ;)

[dalia 13]

Very nice mission, can you will add, hunger so we could eat goat :) and dog :)

Edited August 16, 2013 by Dalia

[SaOk 112]

Thanks, I will see how the Altis mission will be. I may add hunger value for it as optional feature at some point. Planning to have camp creating and surviving elements in it. Eating could fit in it, but I need to make sure the features would not become annoying at the end.

[dalia 13]

It will be very cool, with you mission we can make manythings. Mission from village are great and other stuff too. I think you can remove the time prestige gain, it's easy with it.

[SaOk 112]

You are right. I orginally added the time factor to replace missing tasks, I may lower it and at some point remove at least for higher difficulties. Currently adding the new UAV/UGV's in the mission.

---------- Post added at 19:51 ---------- Previous post was at 18:32 ----------

Released 1.05 SP version with new UAV/UGV vehicles, dropbox link. Works with any version of the game, but DEV-version is required to enable the new vehicles, goats and music track. Some tweaks too. Currently without custom voices. I continue testing and send then the new version also to armaholic with custom voices added back.

Change Log:

1.05

-UAVs and UGVs added if player is using DEV-version of the game (or once the content is in non-DEV-version)

-Goats and new music track also added (for DEV-version of the game)

-Some other tweaks and fixes

---------- Post added at 20:26 ---------- Previous post was at 19:51 ----------

Sorry, reuploaded the SP 1.05. Found one new error.

Love this mission. You just never know what youre getting yourself into with all that chaos around you.

Played a couple of rounds earlier, and in my last game i suddenly had EVERYTHING attacking me. Was on my way to the airstation with my squad in a truck, got out and all of them just shot me down. Tried loading the savegame again, same thing. When i got away in the truck and made it back to lz connor... same situation, everything was hostile. Had invested like 1 hour into the game and everything worked perfectly well up to that point, kinda weird.

Great work anyways. This mission is will be EPIC on Altis, no doubt.

[SaOk 112]

Thanks, :) are you sure you didnt accidentally drive over friendlies?

Reuploaded the dropbox link, not yet custom voices. You can now set insertion time, max fog and chat mode in start dialog and skip time anytime with new resting dialog (shift+3), friendly foot patrols and tiny camps again appear and there is some other tweaks.

[kavoriken 1]

99% sure. I had stopped before, like 300m down the road. Was there for like 5 minutes killing some enemies in the hills and my squad was out as well, no problems there. I have no idea what happened during those 300m, i didnt see anyone.

[jtgibson 18]

Hm. I'm on Dev-Branch with absolutely no mods and I get a prompt that I'm missing the downloadable content "A3_Static_F_Mk6" when I attempt to load the Dropbox release of the SP mission. Are there any dependencies that I might be missing? The OP suggests most of the optional content is designed to gracefully fail. (I believe that's the base game mortar class, though...)

I did successfully play this mission way back in early Alpha, but the new changes and drones support are interesting enough that I wanted to give it another go.

[giorgygr 61]

Anyone else having problems with Quadcopter-UAV?

I can buy it (after i find the UAV terminal in some crate) and it spawns in the air uncontrollable either directly or High Command.

Then ..i m giving order to a teammate to 'disassemble it' (because i dont have either this option) ..and while on ground (as backpack) -i m getting no option on 'connect terminal to UAV'

Any ideas? :/

I have to add that i m using new JSRS if that matters

[SaOk 112]

jtgibson, have you checked the game files from steam? Sounds possible that there is some game file corrupted.

The Quadchopper-UAV can be used from UAV terminal view by right (or was it left) clicking the UAV symbol that is visible on the map. Same for the Ghosthawk UAV. I am using JSRS too, but havent yet tested possible conflict.

[giorgygr 61]

Thanks for replying so fast but..i don't get ANY option related on UAV or for UAV's terminal.

I got some errors 2 also

I just don't know.

Maybe should i restart the mission? :/

Its not a problem with JSRS, you probably just made the same mistake as I did. You need to put your UAV terminal into your GPS slot. When you do, you should have a action menu prompt to "Open UAV Terminal". This then opens a map of Stratis, with all friendly UAV's displayed. All you have to do is right click on the UAV you want, hit "Connect to UAV terminal" and then you can control it either directly or remotely from the terminal.

[giorgygr 61]

You need to put your UAV terminal into your GPS slot.

You are probably my saver :)

Really thank you for that ;)

[SaOk 112]

I should have asked that, it took time for me too before spotting the GPS slot. :)

Those errors seem to be from the game scripts.

[froggyluv 2136]

Just curious -what is the minimum spawn radius of enemy patrols? I'm a stickler for scoping out an area before I move in and I feel cheated if an enemy spawns into an area I've already reconned ;)

[jtgibson 18]

jtgibson, have you checked the game files from steam? Sounds possible that there is some game file corrupted.

Problem partially exists between keyboard and chair, as it turns out. After verifying game cache which checked out fine, and a full reinstall, I found out that I had a version of Whole Lotta Stratis from April sitting in the MPMissions folder, which was what I was trying to launch. That explains the missing class error, since BIS did some refactoring of their classnames over the last few versions.

Just to clarify, though, the SP version goes in Missions and not MPMissions? It's not appearing in the Scenarios window -- I just get prompted for Steam Workshop, which I'm about as likely to use as a tampon.

[edit] Okay, this problem also exists between the keyboard and chair. Multiple Steamapps folders and I was digging around in the backup. Move along, nothing to see here...

Edited August 19, 2013 by jtgibson

[SaOk 112]

the minimum spawn radius is 500m, but also there is the 500 radius marker spawned to player position every 40. second which gets smaller with walking speed. Patrols isnt spawned directly into the marker instead brought by land vehicle or chopper. That should make enemy not to appear often to places where player just had been. I may tweak those more and maybe those could depend on difficult level too.

[kavoriken 1]

Finally completed it, 2,5 hours, rating: 34220.

Left out a lot of side missions and had to save/load quite a lot. Those pesky mi48's when youre in a vehicle, death comes so quickly without you even noticing ;)

Hi SaOk,

First up, thanks for the mission. I have not finished it yet because I keep jumping from Alpha to Beta to Dev builds as well as always grabbing the latest versions. I have a few queries.

1). Some boxes seem to be unable to be opened? ie the paradrop of weapons and one or two of the ammo crates at the captured camp.

2). When you call an ammo drop, the wind sometimes makes them land in the ocean or away from where you requested them. Would it be difficult to base the drop position on a calculation of windspeed and direction to make the drop point more accurate?

Looking forward to your response.

Thanks again

Rough Knight

[SaOk 112]

Hi,

for some reason the crates dont sometimes work. I see if I can do something for them (make them immortal to damage if I forgot earlier to add that command). The wind direction changes often making it difficult to count proper drop position. For some vehicles I will add marker where it landed. With Altis there will also be less shorelines nearby, which mostly will solve the problems.
