MCC Sandbox 3 - Dynamic mission creating tool for ArmA 3

[shay_gman 272]

Is it just me or has the most recent ARMA update broken the script version? I can no longer load it up properly and I have tried reinstalling it a few times.

 

 

babe_core isn't MCC related. Check you other addons.

 

 

Correct me if im wrong, but I was browsing through your Youtube channel Shay, and i noticed a link to your website and so looked.

 

Is it just me or is there a download link on your website with a more up to date version of mcc than the one steam & armaholic has or even on here?

 

Tell me if I am going crazy or not :wacko:  :blink:

 

I have a website?!

I think he means MCC WIKI

 

 

Can you check for me Shay if the MCC Invincible brush still works, I have reports from one of my mission makers that the MCC Invincible feature doesn't work in 1.58

[Moon_chilD 200]

Babe_core should be Enhanced Movement!

There is invincible brush?!

LOL I can't remember how the GM's were using it. All I know is they said they used MCC to make certianl players invincible, maybe it was ARES that did it I can't quite recall. But I was told they were using MCC. It is how we made the Juggernaut Invincible in the Day Of The Dead videos.

Also it doesn't appear the 3rd person view restriction settings in the MCC UI Modules over rides the Server Difficulty settings when they are at least set to custom in 1.58. We now run a custom difficulty on our server that allows for 3rd person and I've advised my mission makers to use the MCC restrict 3rd person module but some say it doesn't work in 1.58. It worked like a treat in 1.56 but no more in 1.58.

The script we were using before the MCC Module was released doesn't work anymore either. We haven't however tried using the module since the hotfix for 1.58.

Geeze... where do I start.  I havent used MCC for some time (away from ArmA in general, not MCC).  All these new features and functions are mind boggling.  The template mission file is over two years old so I doubt it will have much to do with the current release of MCC.  My question is simply this... Can anybody suggest or offer up a premade with the modules all setup as required?  I've been using the Wiki but sadly there is so much that I am getting lost.  A pre cooked mission would help, greatly.

 

Thanks in advance!

Goodi goodi     :459:           :wub:

[marcatore 20]

Are GAIA updates missing? I can't see them on the changelog.

 

I'm quite interested about this

 

New Game Mods:

- Added: Advance And Secure (AAS) module - turns sectors to be captured in a specific linar order like in Project Reality AAS.

 

Is it available also for the mission generator?

[hugodm9 30]

Nice work as always :) can't wait for the update!

[ski2060 167]

Woot!  Can't wait to see the new update. 
I've been playing around with ALiVE for a while, and MCC has been set aside waiting for a new patch.
I look forward to testing some of this new stuff out.

[Mosshadow 5]

yes! Convoy is working!  Also is the script version updated?

[Moon_chilD 200]

I have a moderate/huge problem atm. I want to build a coop mission for my group. As it is standard in our group, I want to have MCC enabled (just in case we need a teleport or anything else).

Since I don't want the base (as an example) to look boring I want to have some AI standing around and do their things and I don't want them to just stand around, I want them to play an animation. Since I like that function I really want to use bis_fnc_ambientAnim. This is the code I use to make it work in MP.

[UNITNAME, "ANIMATION", "EQUIPMENT"] remoteExec ["BIS_fnc_ambientanim", 0, true];

The problem is, it was not working all the time. It was actually pretty random. Sometimes all AI's played the animation, sometimes non...sometimes unit1 was playing the anim. but unit2 not and sometimes it was the other way around. Completely random (at least it appeared to me). I might need to add that I have not changed ANYTHING between these tries.

 

Okay, I wanted to investigate a bit more, because that bothered me.
I created that simple mission: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4x7N57WyGnSanpYaEFucENuM0E/view?usp=sharing

 

VR, about 15 Units each with (partly different) Ambient Anims (as described above), no modules and then launched in MP.

Here are my test results:

1. No mods: Everything works flawless
2. Only CBA: Everything works flawless
3. Only MCC: Everything works flawless
4. CBA and ACE: Everything works flawless
5. CBA and MCC: It does not work

 

I don't know where the problem lies. If its MCC or CBA but maybe you have an idea!
Thanks in advance
Many Greetings

Are you and your group using the latest version of MCC link found on the front page of this thread. PWS and Armaholic haven't been updated to that version yet. It is kind of the Beta version of the update Shay is about to release.

my group and myself use that version and we have no problems what so ever with CBA and MCC.

[Moon_chilD 200]

Yeah we are using the latest version...at least I guess. (The problem is one cannot see which version is installed right now...)

However gonna download it again and test. The question is, are you guys using BIS_fnc_ambietAnim?

[Moon_chilD 200]

Tested it and nope still not working. Could you do me a favor and just test the mission I linked with only CBA and MCC?

[ski2060 167]

So, do you plan do update via Steam Workshop any time soon?   I think I see r19 linked in the first post, but if I update and start working I'd like my unit to be able to get it easily.

[realthing 14]

Guys, sorry! But i can't find link on a new verison r19 of MCC on the first page of this thread or even link on new beta version... Could you help me? 

Do you mean this link maybe? https://www.dropbox.com/s/cbpinx8knu5fw42/%40mcc_sandbox.rar

[Moon_chilD 200]

From all I know (please correct me if I'm wrong) the new version has NOT been released yet!

[realthing 14]

Sorry, what am I doing wrong? Why game shows me always this message in the Eden editor after every game with new MCC now: "Curator owner not defined, player used instead in singleplayer" ?

[Moon_chilD 200]

Funnily enough, I have that too with the download from the front page. From what I can see, just ignore it for now. Lets hope for a new update soon! ^^"

[rekkless 240]

Yeah I get it too, I thought it was a Eden editor bug. But it doesn't cause any issues so I just ignore it. Hopefully it will get sorted for the pending release.

[zafjr 50]

Was looking at this http://mccsandbox.wikia.com/wiki/Rts and was wondering if the triage can also supply ACE medical supplies instead. Your mod already plays with ACE very fine anyway.

[battlepanda50 10]

Sorry If I have missed it but is it possible to have existing AI in a mission join my group using this mod?

 

I see that I can move to and take control of other squads but I would like to be able to for example attach a random AI

I find out in the woods to my squad without any mucking about in the editor (where I am worse than useless) 

 

Thanks for any help
