MCC Sandbox 3 - Dynamic mission creating tool for ArmA 3

[Stagler 39]

Not sure if this is been an issue that has already been raised, but no tracked or static vehicles appear under the RHS factions.

 

Cheers.

There is a real problem with RHS and others mods factions. Unless you spawn some units from factions (Just few of them, like soldiers\tank\btr\heli) in Editor (Eden, before start mission) - you will not be able to use them at MCC\Zeus editor.

[BruceALMIGHTYY 18]

Let me first of all say that I think MCC is the best mod ever hands down.

I used to use it successfully over a year ago on a daily basis. Then I
 stopped playing for the last year and for the last month that I have been back.

 I have not been able to get it to work on anything other than Altis, Stratis and
 Tanoa. I am/was ONLY using Steam Workshop mods: CBA, MCC, CUP Core, and Cup Terrains.

And YES, I have all updated on client and server with the correct mod command lines.

I have tried my own templates with various description.ext and sqf file. I have tried
 others templates. And downloaded other peoples maps/missions.

When using MCC on any other map that the 3 default ones, this is what happens…

MCC spawns them like 100 meters in the air, OR below the map, or they glitch out
 blinking and lying down and getting up. Zeus spawns units just fine, but defeats
 the purpose if you want to use Mission generator.
Standard answer people give me is, it works for me.

As far as I can tell. I would bet all of you have 1 common denominator. And that
 is, you run your own dedicated server and not a rented server.

I have tested this extensively on NFO servers and Host Havoc servers. Nothing works.
So, I used my old PC and hosted a server BINGO!

EVERYTHING WORKS on the very first try!

I have seen ZERO reference to this issue anywhere. I stumbled onto it because I found
 an unrelated thread of people creating some missions that had no playable units.
 Even though in the editor they were playable.

The same thing happens with the MCC template on maps for CUP, they have no playable
 units on some maps or it kicks you right back to your default server mission.

MCC IS NOT THE PROBLEM! YAY! 

But, THIS IS a MAJOR Problem.

 

Think how many people have probably downloaded MCC for
 their RENTED and end up deleting because they think it sucks or is broken!

I knew how good MCC was, that’s why I was going  INSANE!. I thought it was a 
incompatablity issue with updates.
If anyone knows of a workaround, that would be great. Please post it.
I feel it has something to do with Steam running on the dedicated server where as it
 does not for a rented server. Just my hunch.
I’m just a guy who wants to play on ALL the maps and NOT spend hours making missions,
 that’s why I wanted MY MCC back.
My frustration nearly drove me insane over this; I bet it is still an issue for a lot
 of people and they don’t know it and just gave up.

I apologize to anyone I irritated over this.

Please look into this and post on other forums and report to BI.
It’s a shame so many people probably give up using this mod because of this issue.

Well in all honesty all the maps I play on in the Tactical map pack work the same. It doesn't matter if youre playing on Altis, Namalsk, Podagorsk or Fallujah. The actual map has no bearing on how MCC (at least in our mission collection) works.

So my guess is this: The version of MCC you have is bugged and broken. Also when uploading MCC to your server I bet there was some kind of corruption.

Fast roping for yourself works 100% fine in MCC, while making that video I did it to myself half a dozen times. AI or real people I have no problem what so ever in doing it. Hell in that video I even fast rope myself. You can see it working.

The MCC HQ and MCC Respawn system like I said in the video I don't use it. Not for any other reason than we use Ares to spawn bases and use Zeus Respawn system (which is why I can't wait for the next MCC update when we will be able to make players a respawn location). But the few times I have used it worked fine. Again using the tactical map pack. But even on Master maps and MCC Templates we had no problem.

To me it sounds so much that what you are running on your server and on your PC isn't working properly. I've had this issue before with rented servers.

However the missions you are making also these so called templates might be missing something also.

And what map is the Special Forces map? That sounds to me like you are trying to edit some kind of workshop mission. Or you a having a mod conflicting with MCC.

I don't know. I can't replicate ANY of the issues you speak. I can get fast roping working perfectly for myself, my players and any AI. I never have problems with randomly dieing, I never have problems with not having any guns, I've never had the game crash while trying to log into Squad Dialog.

Now this isn't to say that it isn't happening to you. But just that there appears to be issues with your machine. And my bet would be the version of MCC you are running.

This is the closest reference I could find.  That's kinda hard to pick out of 190 or so pages.

It's a bug in the current MCC version, not related to RHS or any other mod as suggested. It already been fixed in the dev version and we'll be  released soon.

I played on Havoc server with zero problem. Most likely you are using the mod on top of the mission version. 

[BruceALMIGHTYY 18]

No sir, don't use the mission version at all. Deleted anything I may have had as far as that goes. Using my template and a few others sent to me by others. And, I checked the contents of their mission as well.

I have two issues with the current build:

 

1. Sometimes MCC moves red units to the blue faction (spawning red units in a zone may result in the units killing eachother).

2. I can't disable Teleport to team through the settings module - it still works even when I choose to disable it.

Noticed the same thing as #1 here.

Help needed.

 

Don't know should i post here or ACE forum. So i start here. I start mission editor and make a mission. With MCC mission works fine. If i add any module from ACE, mission won't start or Role Selection screen shows no roles available. This happens other way around too. Just can't get MCC work with ACE. Is there something special i should do to get these work together?

 

Thanks.

[psrkallez06 7]

Has anyone figured out a solution for the fast rope yet? I always get " gulf 1 get ready to fast rope "  but it won't drop ropes.. it just sits there and not doing anything, Help?

 

I know that the problem is that the chopper isn't flying low enough, if there was a way to force the copper to fly down a little lower the ropes would prolly deploy.. Thanks

hey i'm having a problem with the mcc campaign. I am hosting the server on the same computer i play on but what happens is when i start the campaign i get a massive frame drop. this it's self would not be a problem but it keeps happening every few seconds. it's so bad where i am unable to play on the game while it's going on. i can still run just normal missions that it generates but not the campaign. had no problem doing both on r18 wonder why it does it now.

Save to MCC will save this but save to SQM will only save unit/objects you can add them manually by calling the MCC functions, go over the function library from the debug menu in MCC to learn more about them.

The sandstorm for example can be called by

 

[["sandstorm", false],"MCC_fnc_ppEffects",true,false] call BIS_fnc_MP;

 

 

 

 

Can someone helpm e with setting up a Param for PreLobby Settings to toggle MCC_Environmental fx!?

   

 class mcc_fx
    {
        title = "MCC Weather FX Settings";
        values[] = {0,1};
        
        texts[] =     
            {    
                "00 - no FX (default)",
                "01 - Sandstorm", 
             };
                
        default = 0;
        isGlobal = 2;
        isDisposable = 1;
        function = " BIS_fnc_MP";
        forceWeatherChange = 1;

//so how to call the different module params from here?////

 // 	tried smthng like: 
//		file = "MCC_fnc_ppEffects" 

}; 

 

I got stuck somehow, maybe somone can push m ein the right direction...
(eyes are bleeding, need coffe!!!)

I tried Pointing system and then Advanced throwing.

 

I tested some things in weekend and noticed that problem is in dedicated server. If i launch mission from editors lower right corner "Play scenario as singlepalyer" it works fine. It works fine if i host multiplayer from the machine i am using. But if i move it to my dedicated server (Nitrado.net) problem occur. Is there something i should contact my server provider.

 

Thanks. MCC is one of the best mods for Arma. If not the best.

[psrkallez06 7]

soo am i the only one that has a problem with the fast rope not deploying? Cheers

A million thumbs up for the most indispensable ARMA 3 mod around!

 

I have to report though, that you still can't spawn any tracked units unfortunately.
