MCC Sandbox 3 - Dynamic mission creating tool for ArmA 3

[Pr3at 0rian 0]

So.... I love MCC and it's ability to make a quick mission for me and my friends.  My problem is, I have an earplug.sqf file that I put into a base mission I named "MCC_Base" so I can just load up a prefab base with the spawn points and arsenal and some vehicles, then we head out on the mission.  When MCC is NOT enabled through the mods, the earplug script works fine.  When it is enabled, no dice.  here's the script:

 

init.sqf

ep = [] execVM "earplugs.sqf";

 

earplugs.sqf

waitUntil {sleep 1; soundVolume == 1};

epi = player addaction ["Earplugs In",{

1 fadesound 0.3;

player removeaction epi;

hintSilent "Earplugs In";}

];

waitUntil {sleep 1; soundVolume == 0.3};

epo = player addAction ["Earplugs Out",{

1 fadesound 1;

player removeaction epo;

hintSilent "Earplugs Out";

}

];

waitUntil {sleep 1; soundVolume == 1};

removeAllActions player;

ep = [] execVM "earplugs.sqf";

 

This is literally the ONLY problem I'm having with MCC.  Please help!

[shay_gman 272]

Try  putting this in init.sqf

0 spawn {
   ep = [] execVM "earplugs.sqf";
};

wituntil without it's own private instance in a scheduled environment isn't smart thing to do. 

 

also I recommend replacing the "ep = [] execVM "earplugs.sqf";" at the end of the earplugs.sqf  with

0 spawn {
    ep = [] execVM "earplugs.sqf";
};

Fair enough, sorry i didnt see anything on the bi forum rules "asking about updates"?

Ill be more specific with my question, will there be any inprovements on the survival mode in the next update?

Ps. I wasnt asking for the actual update, i was just looking some insight on what to expect. If the response was along the lines off "youll see" id be fine with that.

 

 

 

.....................................

 

on a separate note, iv recently just scripted a persistent database for my server using inidbi, i thought mcc would only work with inidb, but it is currently saving to my database, is there a way to make mcc not save to inidbi (just trying to keep my database files in order without additional clutter as i have no use for this mcc feature) thanks....

Anyone tried playing through the East Wind recently? Waypoints keep getting broken - especially around vehicles - and MCC is about the only thing I I can find that could be doing it

[Nicolai Lorenzen 17]

I've been googling far an wide, and trawling forums, but can't seem to get any clues anywhere. So I'll try here - correct me if I'm doing something wrong.

 

I have read through some of the compatabilieties for MCC and it should integrate with ACE3.

If I load them seperately they work fine, but if I load them both, MCC blocks ACE out. That is - I can still get the "ace option" up in the left corner, but can't do anything there - moreso I can't change keybinds etc.

 

Is there anyone who knows if I can run those two mods, and what I have to do to make it work?

 

 

[Cpl Grimson 10]

So just a quick question. Is anyone else having the same issue i'm having ? and does anyone know how to resolve it ?

Recently whenever i Launch MCC with CBA on, it will CTD with an Error 00000005 exception error for arma 3 or something. Yet when i turn off CBA MCC works fine, but obviously everyhing else is unstable and gives me terrible FPS drops and i lose alot of functionality for other things. However, when i have Ace, MCC and CBA running everything works fine. 

I'd love if anyone has a solution for this as a group of my friends has moved away from using ACE but i'm their Zeus/MCC Guy, so i kinda need this working without ACE. Thanks for the help guys. 

[Tuskegee_99th 43]

I haven't had any trouble running MCC with CBA but I don't use ACE so I don't know if that's the issue.

How did you get ACE and MCC to launch properly - have to do anything else than enable them via launcher under "mods"?

the CTD - is that consistent, or just random? because Arma somethimes just makes that error for no aparent reason - and goes away randomly.

Ok i've come this far.

 

I can run ace, cba and mcc alongside eachother UNLESS I check the "survival" option in mcc (the one I REALLY wanna use) - then all goes south, meaning that ace radial goes away, and keybinds in ace are gone. Any takers for this particular cunundrum?

I had this report from another fella and at the end it turns out to be the Nimitz mode.I'm sorry but I have no clue on why is this error accruing.

The survival module is bugged at the moment you can only run it from inside the mission pressing the MCC settings in the MCC console and then it will not allow any other JIP. A fix will be released soon.

I run mcc,ace,cba and a few other mods and they work fine, your survival mode tho, i had to call the function for it via sqf script (i think on a loop?) its a bit off a hack job but it works, currently in work but ill post it once home.

Ps. Make sure your ace3 is up to date (prob best downloading off steam if you havent already and make sure its the official one)

................

Also are you using any modules?, i found some of the respawn settings dont work very well together

[KamenRiderOOO 1]

I can't use Multi tool to open any door in missions which are in Mod version and use claymore explosive to destroy the door.

 

is it bug? please help.

 

P.s. I use the Mod with CBA  

[Bruce King 2]

MCC is LIFE!   Best Mod ever!  However, I am having a issue when using the MOCAP mod. It all works fine actually, its just all the MCC error messages popping up that is really bothersome and lame.

Can those be turned off? Again the Mocap works with MCC just the annoying error messgaes. Actually this is one of those mods that should be incorporated into MCC along with Extended Movements IMO.

 

Thanks GMAN

 

 

 

[Zakuaz 195]

So much good time packed into MCC haha.

 

I have recently been creating a small zone in a far off area and occupy it with some OPFOR then while I am sitting here on the other side of the map - I hit the ambient combat button and what for all hell to break out while I patrol around.  It has been an total blast!

 

The ambient combat/battle ( or is it warzone, I forget) option sure does spawn a lot of pilots lol.   It is kind of funny to hear my squad calling out  "rifleman 200m, AT soldier..."  then "pilot 300 meters, pilot, pilot" heh.

 

Is it possible for the ambient option to spawn IED/Sbomber or ambush elements? That would put an entire new spin of chaos on this fun free roam option I have stumbled onto.

 

Oh and I may be wrong but it appears if you add several playable characters to the map ( stick em in a box with move and simulation disabled IIRC) then the ambient warzone option gets even crazier with the amount of OPFOR it throws at you, good times!

 

I just wanted to swing by and say thanks for the UI console of pure fun you have given us!

[john111 76]

Is a new version of MCC out ? A new UI? Where do I download this ? Haven`t see any videos and such...

[sgt m.stonebridge 38]

Hey, I'm having an issue with MCC and the editor.

 

I create a new scenario on multiplayer using Tanoa as my terrain. I place a re-spwan and 6 blufor guys as playable units. Following this tutorial. 

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8PRfhQLU5HM

 

I use CBA and MCC just like the uploader but when I attempt to test the scenario to see if I've done it correctly the game crashes without warning to desktop. I have tested with mods and with out them, and narrowed it down to MCC. It's the only mod to cause the crash. 

 

Is there a fix for this issue?

[karmalauja 2]

Where are you Shay...?

 

the world of arma need your creativity . do we wait for the 2017 MCC ?

 

thank u for all

[shay_gman 272]

I'm working on release and on the MCC's Discord Channel:

 

https://discord.gg/3DzkzAn

[kremator 1065]

Looking forward to the release :)

[john111 76]

This mod is a must have.Hope everything works out for you and you get time for it!   Love the mod.See it when it`s done,thanks for all the effort.

[shay_gman 272]

Guess I will never find the time to make proper videos exc... so let just release it as it.

I strongly recommend trying the new campaign and if someone want to make a video on it I would send him milk and cookies. 

The campaign just paint the entire map and you have to conquest square by square. 

 

So enjoy - and if you know of a light, mature community/clan in Europe that is playing MCC regular - or close to my time zone (GMT +2) let me know.
