l etranger 5 Posted October 4, 2013 (edited) I am having trouble getting VTS to recognize a popular F18 mod. I am able to see/use the mod fine in the editor, but can not get the VTS console to bring it up. Is there a certain folder mods need to be in for VTS to bring them up?...naming template? or does VTS have problems recognizing mod vehicles that fall outside the default list. Which addon? if you are talking about John Spartan F18, it does work very fine there. VTS read addons the same way the game read them (actually a bit more proper than how the game read them). If could happen that VTS have some issue with certain addons who have bad config.bin, like using an illegal scope which should be used for debug or placeholder, referencing string instead of number, or not having a consistent name convention. In this case the addons could not show up correctly. There it would be to the addon maker to fix it config. Do you use the lastest version and make sure to wait all data are loaded before opening the GM interface or the shop? ---------- Post added at 01:16 ---------- Previous post was at 00:29 ---------- B16 changelog : -Improved parachute group function -Improved GM ui efficiency -Fixed spawned group with vts_isparachuted being in building patrol mode -Improved performance Edited October 11, 2013 by L etranger Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kremator 1064 Posted October 4, 2013 Never had problems with the f18. You are probably not letting VTS load potentially? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lawndartleo 109 Posted October 24, 2013 Back when I had a bit of a clue, I helped Draper with some input on this script.... http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=8337 There is some functionality in that script that I think would be handy tp have in VTS. Draper put more in than I think need be added to VTS, but there is some functionality that I think would be really great. 1) A transport script, much like my contribution to the package. 2) An Attack helo option 3) A fixed wing option... although there appears to be no LGB as of yet.

l etranger 5 Posted October 24, 2013 (edited) Here a good example of the VTS flexibility in action : @Lawndartleo : That's an interesting suggestion, although there is a AI transport script in the VTS working for all kind of vehicles (vts_istransport).

Skagget 11 Posted October 26, 2013 Hello =) What I have red is that it should work just fine on dedicated server right ? I tried the latest beta 18 on my dedicated server and all seemd fine with the only problem; I couldnt spawn units. I would get into the 3d placer and when I clicked for spawn, the hint showed Spawned but nothing happend. Tried to read through some of this threads posts, but didnt really find anyone had problems with it. I was logged in as admin on the server and used <Tophe's Arma Dedicated Server Tool (TADST)> http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?104991-Tophe-s-Arma-Dedicated-Server-Tool-(TADST) Is there any problem with the server tool or so ?

lawndartleo 109 Posted October 26, 2013 (edited) Can we call an external script with VTS? I do not want something that comes up in the player context menu. I just want to run something via a command line in VTS that would be globaly executed... global being the key. I'm out on medical and could use a fun project. Think of them as "plugins".

Skagget 11 Posted October 26, 2013 Item wasn't below the surface of the ground ? Scroll the arrow up so you can see the item. Yeah I saw how you could scrollwheel up an object and down to ground. And I really pushed the object to the ground =) It should, did you run other mods ? did you try to relaunch the mission ? No mods or addons, tried first with the usual Im using. I logged in as admin on server, restarted it, but cant spawn/place not in 3d or 2d even if it states it has "Spawned". In host I can place objects, but as soon as I go dedicated I cant. Ive tried the mcc version and that one was hugh in file and really messy gui for my taste.. but there I could in dedicated place objects. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks, I re-uploaded B19 again to hotfix a bug on dedicated environment with the option "All player are GMs" (which was stoping the Dedicated server to generate the spawnable list).
