MCC Sandbox 3 - Dynamic mission creating tool for ArmA 3

[shay_gman 272]

The new version with fixs for the new update and some new cool features (town generation maybe) will be here soon...

[thdman1511 4]

I am sure that modders will update them once Arma 3 is finally released.

"soon"â„¢

Shay save us!

Are fixes for the Time of Day stuff going to be included? :D. They happen whenever the mission maker changes the ToD, it kicks it around and doesn't ever stop where the mission-maker wants it to. It also does the same thing when a player joins the server.

Another issue I've found is that if the mission maker times out he still remains as the mission maker, ala no-one else can login to the console.

Hello,

@Tark the time of day move the time forward and then backward by 1 hour to let the BIS weather system kick in. Every time a new player join in it gets the weather and time of the server and set the same weather to each player. This is why you'll see a weather and time change every time a player join in but after a few seconds the time is set to the original time and weather on the server. If this is not the case at your end let me know.

Regarding mission maker timeout – yes MCC doesn't kick mission makers hoping that he will get back. I'll think about adding a statement to kick idle mission maker after a period of time.

The new version of MCC is ready and will be released tonight or tomorrow just need to make some documentation about the new features.

Cheers,

Shay

And the skies did open and the angels did sing.

Shay you have made a mod so good that there are some people that cannot play without it.

Sorry for my question, actually, i don't have tried your great mission, you use a trigger in respawn area with skiptime ? or other ? and have you planned to put random weather and fog ?

I want to use the easy solution to have in exemple, a full cycle day night in 3h and if possible random weather (with include fog).

Anyone else having trouble issuing waypoints via the Group Generator in the mod version? The AI don't seem to respond to any waypoints I try to set down. Just wondering if it's something with the new version or something on my end.

I came here to post this and saw it already posted.

I can't give group waypoints via the group generator anymore. I can't even move their zone to have them move. Nothing I can do once a group is spawned will make them move to a new area :(

Is there a workaround for this?

Also, shay, who did your YouTube video intro? It looks amazing!

[shay_gman 272]

@MacScottie, Frost0X9: Just to make sure you are using it in MP (local/internet host or dedicated server) right?

The intro was made by IDF-Psycho he is a talented guy

Looks like running it on a MP mission solves the issue. Thanks Shay! :)

Will there be a SP version later on?

Also thank you for separating Weather from time :)

[galzohar 31]

You can play alone in MP (create your own server and lock it or open it on LAN only), so SP is not really needed.

[shay_gman 272]

Regarding SP, converting MCC to SP is a lot of work.

MCC uses the new netID and getObjectFromNetID commands to ensure a solid MP behavior.

In SP netID returns empty string, I should add a lot of "if" commands to all the server client dialogs inorder to replace the netID with the original object.

I might find the time to do it but I can't promise anything ATM.

As Galzohar put it. You can easily create a local MP which behave exactly as SP.

The only thing that doesn't work in the new version is the Helicopter and Various Extraction options and the Group Gen waypoints, everything else works perfectly in SP, with the mod version and the mission editor... Just thought I would let you know!!!

Some of the Artilleries are broken again after the new update though!

Like the mines, etc.

These ones don't work...

HE120, Cluster120, Cluster AP, HE Laser, Mines 120.

Yea I know but a lot of the times I like to use it in SP missions and campaigns to goof a round a bit :)

[frankfranconi 24]

Some artillery munitions are indeed causing trouble. But perhaps they just don't exist in the game as of now.

Derp! Thanks so much man! I was testing in the editor to make sure everything was working before saving to MP!
