MCC Sandbox 3 - Dynamic mission creating tool for ArmA 3

[tortuosit 485]

MCC really from my side took a lot of time (you can ask my ex-wife[...])

OH! I hope there's no causal relationship.. TBH, I was under the impression your day has 60 hours... :D Of course I voted, from my whole heart I must say.

[karmalauja 2]

hi shay and spirit you could count my vote

2 questions (I play in SP MODE)

first: is it normal ? when i hijack a leader with the MCC a can't controle his squad.

second when i take controle of another unit and return to my player (by switch for exemple) this group can't be controled by the MCC CONSOLE . you could send way points but nothing move..

thank you for the time you spent for us

I got this during a mission I tested.

Additional mods I was using: CBA, AGM, TFAR, RHS Escalation

I used the Mission Generator on Altis with one of the Russian factions from RHS Escalation.

Hi guys just voted for u hope you guys win.

2 Quick questions : 1 When i die i loose my uav contact anyone else have that problem ?

[shay_gman 272]

Hello again.

I'll answer all of your question later when i'll have some spare time.

Just wanted to release r10. So here it is.

I feel like I need to share with you guys the future of MCC from our end: You probably asks why do we add game mechanics (such as the interaction system) to MCC? Well the truth is that they always been there in MCC 2 for ArmA 2 we added weapons' silencer scripts and LHD spawning stuff exc. We believe and aim to get all this building parts that you like and combine them all together to a complete game changer. What if we could provide you a persistent battlefield with generated missions from time to time, and RTS command for the commanders to build there bases exc... The options are endless so we are now finishing the building blocks and starting the combining part so even people who don't use MCC to build mission will "know" once they are in MCC game.

So as always be patient as good things will come your ways. We are listening to your request and reports and doing are best to deliver this tool for the community. So again, enjoy - and vote for us.

Thanks Shay.

I create a zone on Bornholm island. Spawning of a light NATO(West)/Garrison group (delayed+cached) does not work, undef. variable "_type". fn_garrison.sqf line 79.

Also I am missing all those different sized teams in group spawning.

It looks like faction changing is not possible. Usually main window refreshed for a split second, but now nothing happens.

[darshyne 12]

Is it compatible with AGM logistic? Or do i have to remove it?

It is comaptible as always.

[SwissHavoc 10]

Shay,

First of all - Thank you very much for the MCC mod and all the hard work that goes into it. It's highly appreciated.

I can confirm, that there might be a bug with adding factions in the 3d-Editor. I can only access the BLUFOR (NATO) Units at this time. If I switch factions to OPFOR (e.g. Rifleman) a standard NATO Rifleman is created (as BLUFOR).

Or maybe it's just on my installation?

Best

SH

[sunrrrise 14]

Even for BI default factions?

Yes, I can confirm that. But you can still switch between factions using Mission Wizard.

BTW. congratulations on the release!

[shay_gman 272]

Ok i'll release a hotfix tonight

[xerxes1er 0]

Hi Shay,

thanks for your great work as always.

Please don't forget to fix the bug with the new function introduced in your R9 as described below:

Thanks MCC team for all your work again on the R9 (mod version) and R10.

I first wanted to test the new function MCC_fnc_buildSpawnPoint for WEST. So it still works for West (on spawn and REspawn) as expected.

However, I was interested to see if then it would work for Resistance side (due to my favorite faction mode belongs to), and unfortunately the same issue previously reported in the MCC mod R8 occured.

I mean, after the briefing, click on continue button and get the expected menu to choose on the menu map betwen the HQ and the FOB spawn point (both were working at this step) but NOT after REspawn.

Indeed, after being killed, I don't have anymore the menu selection proposal to choose the respawn point like it's still the case in my WEST mission using the new function.

Besides, I paid attention of your comments and use side (resistance) instead of ('guer') in the last variable for both HQ and FOB as you can see in the content of my new init.SQF detailed below:

enableSaving [false,false];

MCC_START_GUER = getpos startR;

if (isServer) then

{

[getpos startR, 0, resistance,'HQ',false] call MCC_fnc_buildSpawnPoint;

[getpos fobr_1, 0, resistance,'FOB',false] call MCC_fnc_buildSpawnPoint;

};

Do we still have the bug or is it something different like a syntax mistake on my side? (for your information, I tried several combinations using for instance side ('resistance'), or (resistance) or ('guer') or (independent) or ('independent' )etc... but I couldn't make it run at the RESPAWN for resistance faction.

Sorry to remind you that and I'm looking forward to getting your feedback.

[Hatchet_AS 201]

Just stopping by (because i never do..) to say thanks and good luck! I know we use MCC almost daily on our servers, has been a great tool for a long time now. :)

Hi shay and spirit

Wanna give you a heads up incase its not reported.Regarding The new and excellent RHS mod,

Gaia is not identifying the two new mobile artillery pieces(which are the best iv seen in arma thus far)for the russian faction,didnt test with US faction arty yet.

Is there any way to look at that when time permits.Il mention one of the artillery pieces is on a flatbed truck,like a GRAD rocket system,maybe classed as light veihicle in that case.However the other arty piece is resemblent of the default NATO CSAT artillery units.

EDIT:

When i say gaia is not recognizing them,i mean not recognizing they are infact artillery,she sends them on move orders alright.

We have also "connected" these pages to your account (shay_gman) on Armaholic.

This means in the future you will be able to maintain these pages yourself if you wish to do so. Once this new feature is ready we will contact you about it and explain how things work and what options you have.

When you have any questions already feel free to PM or email me!

** Note:

since this is a project on which more people are working we will contact you in the future to discuss how you want this to be setup on Armaholic.

EDIT:

Apart frm teh addon, GAIA recognizes the unit as Artillery, based on the ammunition. That is arranged/selected by the addon maker's config file. So I assume that is where you need to put your request. I am by no means an expert on this matter, but this is where all other artillery pieces are recognized. I assumed that using artillery ammo, would make the unit an artillery :)

In GAIA this must be true on the ammo type of the artillery piece:

 getNumber (configfile >> "CfgAmmo" >> _ammo >> "artilleryLock");

(must be one).

The other is theat the ammon is not any kind of "Bulletbase" ammo.

if (_artilleryLock==1 and !(_ammo iskindof "BulletBase")) then

....

So I would assume, checking at the addon first, in the config viewer. Or check on the addon builder.

[redarmy 420]

Cheers Spirit.

Iv already mentioned to the lads at RHS thread.

Interesting to understand what makes this magic work though;)

[darshyne 12]

Hi, i have a issue with the R10. I can only spawn Nato units, if i choose another side mcc spawn Nato unit... I only have Mcc and Agm (and CBA) mod. No problem whan i swtich back to R9.

[Mr_IC 10]

This mod gets my vote, and it's not even a close race if you're asking me. Like most MCC users, I can't wait to see the new features in action as well as everything shay keeps hinting at!

A few issues though :

1) Mission Wizard, as noted above, is the only way I can access different factions. Standard MCC console interface has all my factions in the drop down box at top left, but the faction selected never sets in.

2)EDIT: Regarding number of enemies via MW - I should update and say it looks as if MCC is back to normal as far as numbers and strength settings go.

3) However no matter what size of zone I create or how centered it is over even a huge urban area (several Altis areas were tested), the MW just randomly picks areas, some being a km away, and starts cranking out new zones and stating "No buildings found," despite setting the mission to CQB + many different tested varieties of other objectives.

4) When assigning keys either through initial MCC login box or through the new ESC menu, the keybinding panels go blank. After that, no keys can be used or assigned.

EDIT: I should also mention that I am using r10. I had not updated MCC for over a month, so I have no idea what r9 was like.

You guys are probably the #1 reason why I look forward to the future of this game. Please keep up the great work!

clarify something

[Spoor 23]

@Shay - @spirit - congratulations on the release - great stuff

[warleader8 11]

Shay, on both the Armaholic and this site, the multiplayer "made" version of stratis appears not updated? The Altis is the r10 version. Can you check for me please? I normally just play your already made for us multiplayer version and do not use the mod.

Thanks

[devilspawn 24]

Hi,

After r10 I am not able to spawn CSAT units only civilians class, something has bugged out can you please check, thank you

Edit: R9 works fine, CSAT class list is available

[sharpie7051 18]

Hi, I love MCC but with the newest version I too am having problems switching between factions. I've disabled all other mods and the problem persists any ideas.

[jcae2798 132]

Voted. Thanks for this guys.

Oh by the way, when generating a mission i cannot get the zones to be hidden. Is this a known issue? Or is there a setting to hide this? During the mission build settings, i do select to hide markers but doesnt make a different. I use this in SP mode.

Thanks again.
