MCC Sandbox 3 - Dynamic mission creating tool for ArmA 3

[Pilot996 1]

Is there a way to give MCC permission to all units?

[gravedancer 10]

First off great work.

couple of concerns...

1: while using the 3D editor we are not able to place the objects/men using the spacebar. Is there a new key we are supposed to be using?

2: When the MM gives Arty to the players they cant ever seem to call it in, they get an error and kicked out of the PDA console

3: Is there a way to show all AI to the MM all the time? Not just the few seconds from the Mark option.

3d editor is still broken?

Oh well.. I'll keep waiting until they fix it.

[tark 10]

3D editor is still very broken. Mission Settings doesn't work either.

Nevermind apparently that even though we downloaded it manually off Armaholic 'n stuff it was still an old version, r7 here we go!

Edit:

Oh, okay, the changelog doesn't have r7, so even though we thought we weren't on the latest... we actually were. So no, 3D editor is still broken, hotfix and all.

I did use the 3D editor today (using mission version) and it worked for me with today's A3 update..

I did notice I had to create at least 1 (empty) zone, otherwise the 3D editor would not show any object

That's great, thanks man!

[denco 16]

Thanks for the update Shay.

[tark 10]

Everything's working peachy again. :D.

Also, anyone noticing some weird 3D-Editor spawning behaviour when dealing with some of the A3 fortifications? Like them spawning away from the cursor?

[Flo 1]

great !! we mirrored the new version... :)

[Guest]

Thank you very much for sending us a headsup about the updated version :cool:

I keep getting this error when spawning stuff

http://filesmelt.com/dl/dafuk1.jpg (549 kB)

[tark 10]

Is it just me or do waypoints in the group generator seem to randomly place themselves or not place themselves? Also, setting the Time of Day will randomly kick forward the time another hour once you've already set it, bit weird.

[Spoor 23]

@Tark - have the same problem on the waypoints, cant see them on the map too ... will nodoubt be fixed

Create a zone before spawning stuff.

Is there a way to give MCC permission to all units?

If you won't put the Access module on every unit can use MCC but only one mission maker can be logged in at a time.

First off great work.

couple of concerns...

1: while using the 3D editor we are not able to place the objects/men using the spacebar. Is there a new key we are supposed to be using?

2: When the MM gives Arty to the players they cant ever seem to call it in, they get an error and kicked out of the PDA console

3: Is there a way to show all AI to the MM all the time? Not just the few seconds from the Mark option.

Everything's working peachy again. :D.

1. – fixed/

2. – I'll check it out and fix it.

3. – No I don't want to give the mission maker super powers when he Is playing. The idea is that the mission maker will be part of the game and have fun with the team.

Also, anyone noticing some weird 3D-Editor spawning behaviour when dealing with some of the A3 fortifications? Like them spawning away from the cursor?

Which items? Most likely it something with the real center of the item and not MCC but I'll check it out.

Is it just me or do waypoints in the group generator seem to randomly place themselves or not place themselves? Also, setting the Time of Day will randomly kick forward the time another hour once you've already set it, bit weird.

The WP that you just put isn't shown only the next so if you put a group with 1 WP you won't see it if you put the second you'll see the first and if you put the third you'll see the first and second unless you'll click on the group name so it will refresh the UI.

I'll look into setting the time of day. The weather system push back the time one hour backward and then one hour forward to let the weather "build" but you should stay on the same hour with a few seconds.

Hello,

Im using the mission version of MCC. I have a few things here:

1. When I try to call the 120 mm HE artillery airstrike using the MCC panel directly on the map, nothing happens. The smaller one 80MM works. Also the 120MM cluster doesnt work for me.

2. On startup I receive a No entry config.bin/cfgweapons warning. I have no addons installed running vanilla 0.60

3. There is no function to delete everything within the zone, like all music, units etc. I need to go to 3d and manually remove all things, some things cannot be removed directly...Maybe a reset function would be nice to have.

4. When selecting the button Mission failed the mission ends. Then pressing continue and starting up the MCC I receive a warning "Picture pictureheal not found"

5. In Menu 2 hovering over the 3 waypoints button behind evac insertion section displays "Add artillery to the MCC console" this should be "Add 3 evac waypoints"

6. In the unit management section there is no option to manually set the rank and leader of a group, so you could place yourself under the command of an AI leader giving you orders to move etc.

7. When you as the mission maker get killed while in 3d modus you will respawn with the 3d UI still open, however you are not able to return to the "Tablet" modus.

Keep up the good work. This tool is much better to understand than the VTS one.

Keep up the good work. This tool is much better to understand than the VTS one.

1. 120 mm HE artillery is available as a class but most likely BIS didn't made the actual bomb yet so it spawn with nothing.

2. No entry is caused be the F3 gear script most likely when trying to add an item or a weapon that isn't exist anymore or has its class name changed. I didn't have the time to go over all the items and weapons for NATO and Iran and I will appretiate if you or someone else will find which item/weapon is missing. Just press continue there is no real error in there.

3. You can delete units via menu 4 by selecting the unit/group I'll add the delete brush as in MCC 2 later on.

4. "Picture pictureheal not found" is reletad to the fact that MCC go over the config files and adds a unit picture if exist to the dropdown menu (like the ranks near a commander and such). In this case the config relate to a picture that dosent really exist most likely BIS will fix it later on.

5. You are right, thanks, i'll fix it.

6. Always the unit/group you selected first will join the group/unit you selected second. But it's a good idea to set the rank and commander through menu 4, i'll do that.

7. Try not to get killed while in 3D menu. I"ll fix it.

Great debugg mate this info is really helpful.

Hello,

Thank you for your fast feedback on the things I discovered. Here are some other things you might want to look at:

1. It is wise to disable the AI at startup, otherwise you end up with a massacre in a few seconds.

2. The 3d module always uses night vision modus at startup, even though it is bright daylight. You end up snowblind when looking at a 100% white screen.

3. When just randomly selecting a unit and clicking on the spawn button, I receive two errors. First this one appears only 1 second very quickly: http://abload.de/img/2013-06-11_00003mij4t.jpg

Then this one appears after the first one for about 10 seconds: http://abload.de/img/2013-06-11_00001rjkgw.jpg

4. If you have no tasks made you cannot add waypoints. Clicking on the waypoints displays this error message: http://abload.de/img/2013-06-11_000042jjlf.jpg

Maybe tell the user first to make a task in a pop up message.

5. Markers are invisible when added to the map inside the "Tablet" I have selected the red color, but no markers appear eventhough it says marker added. You can create a brush, but placing a marker will make the brush dissapear.

6. When you are in 3d modus, you have to press 3x escape button to return to tablet modus because once you press the escape button, the Arma 3 Menu pops up. Another key to exit the 3d modus would be nice.

7. It would be nice if you add the version number somewhere. Then you can easily tell if you have the latest version or not. You could use it in the mission name or in the "Tablet ui"

8. On the beginning you can choose which role you want. It would take some time to switch between infantry and diver for example. It would be nice if you can just select your whole team and ajust everyones role (and so as their uniform, vest, and backpack) in a few clicks. People wont have to change their whole loadout then and everyone has the same equipment/uniform in a few clicks.

9. There is no option to save your uberawesome mission you created in 3 hours and want to play the next time with just a few adjustments. Or am I too demanding now :P

10. Zooming in very far while using the UAV modus will make your character'arms flicker

11. The UAV camera is not very sharp, hard to distinguish friend or foe.

12. Right-Mouse movement in UAV modus is very buggy and uncontrollable when you alt-tab to desktop and back. Better is the camera movement in the 3d modus with keys where your character remains frozen.

13. Future option: Dive team + boat to add in MCC

14. The PIP view to broadcast to other players is very very small and out of focus. I need a magnifying glass to see what someone is broadcasting.

15. For better understanding to new players, maybe it is usefull to frame the different sections within each menu. That you can see what parameters belong to what section. Now everything is just put on the page a bit grouped together.

If you have questions regarding these lines, please tell me. Thank you.

Thanks for the new version, I just have one little question. Whenever I open MCC Sandbox it always tells me it can't load a profile picture? I just click OK and everything still works fine. Any thoughts?

Hello,

1. Yes it is wise to disable AI at mission start. I leave the enable AI on so people can play with an AI if they want to but they should do it selectively and not just leave all the AI units there.

2. 3D module start NV when time is lower the 07:00 in the morning, depends on the map or the month it can be still a day light in 5 o'clock but most likely it will be dark. Set the time to noon and check it out.

3. This is because you didn't define a zone first. I will add a check to see if a zone is preset.

4. I'll add a check code to check if a task is created.

5. You should pick a marker that isn't the "empty" one and you should give a unique name to each marker/brush or it will just move the marker with the same name. When creating a brush you should pick the "empty" marker.

6. I'll add the Backspace as an exit key.

7. There is a version number in the config file, I'll see what can be done to add it to the UI.

8. MCC is trying effect as little as possible on mission design and keep it as simple as it can while using it with other addons and gameplay. That is why I made the mod version so people can just jump in with every mission/addon. Some people like this or other gear/uniforms/units the idea behind adding the F3 framework is just to give the player a quick "jump into action" option. For now I am not planning on going into micro-management players and their gear. But I might do that later if I'll find a way to do it without downgrading players that uses their own scripts and addons.

9. There is, press save/load mission and copy the text and save it into a txt file. Then paste it on a new mission and press load.

10. This is a BIS issue with mlod and PiP.

11. This is a BIS issue with PiP.

12. Try not to alt tab while you are controlling the UAV.

13. If you mean as an AI group, PM BIS or a modder to make custom groups. All MCC is doing is reading the config files of groups so if there isn't a group that defined like this it won't be available. Another option is to use the group generator. If you want this for the players: choose SF with diver presets and spawn an empty boat.

14. This is a BIS issue with PiP.

15. MCC 2 had frames then I thought it looks better without it with the new tablet look.

Thanks for the new version, I just have one little question. Whenever I open MCC Sandbox it always tells me it can't load a profile picture? I just click OK and everything still works fine. Any thoughts?

As mentioned before the config is pointing to a picture that isn't there, just ignore it untill BIS will fix it.

[darker 10]

Thank you for the feedback. If I find anything I will let you know.
