MCC Sandbox 3 - Dynamic mission creating tool for ArmA 3

Recommended Posts

Ambient Warzone: Does it still work? I don't see it doing anything else than adding exclamation marks to the (MCC) map. It's on Altis. Units do not seem to be spawned.

EDIT: Never mind, I was already too stupid in 2014. Spirit described it to me here:

Hi,

 

I really like using MCC and it is making ArmA life way easier for a long time now :)!

 

I do want to report some findings regarding the Forward Observer Module;

  • Corrections don't do anything at all. This applies to 'off map artillery', 'AI manned artillery' and 'player manned artillery'. It is tested both with Adjust Fire and Fire For Effect, on a server and in the editor. ACE was used during testing... have not tested it without ACE. The only way to actually give corrections is to adjust distance and direction in the initial Call For Fire.  
  • When giving fire mission to a player manned mortar piece  it does not consider height differences. It works fine for 'off map artillery'. I am not sure about 'AI artillery' since the Probable Error Range is very high any way, making it hard to check whether the fire mission is alright (is not related to MCC).  

I hope that the explanation is clear and that you want to consider taking a look at it for future updates. 

 

Thnx again for your efforts in this great mod.

Hey ShayGman, I want to make a minor change to GAIA inside your mod. But no matter which of your versions I take, no matter which pbo packer, ArmA says "MCC_sandbox_mod\data\mod.paa" not found - and does not load MCC. I have no idea why, because mod.paa is exactly there in the pbo.

Thx man, having lots of fun with MCC and GAIA.

Is there a way to tell MCC (GAIA) to not use a specific verhicle? I am under the impression it distributes waypoints to a chopper which is used for [url=https://forums.bohemia.net/forums/topic/220740-release-hermes-airlift-services-script]Hermes Airlift Services[/url] and also it sends my player unit, if under GAIA control, to get into that chopper. "MCC_GAIA_ATTACKS_FOR_NONGAIA = false" is set.

Has anyone experienced this. MCC access disappears following team switch when using AIS wound system. When I use team switch and attempt to switch back to the original unit that had MCC it's gone. This only happens in missions using AIS on system I don't have this issue with any other revive script.

Yes its normal.

 

Use the MCC key(assign one if needed) and you can still open MCC console.

@shay_gman I don't know if you check your GitHub repository's issues or not so I'm just letting you know here about a mission-breaking bug I found.
https://github.com/shaygman/MCC_sandbox_modDev/issues/60

 

I'm not sure if this is an issue specific to me or not, but I've experienced it across two servers I run and several missions I've made. It happens both in Dedicated MP and Eden MP Preview.

I'm not trying to rush you or anything. Just want to make sure you know about it for when you have time to work on it. It is kind of a serious bug though since it completely messes up the way missions initialize.

@shay_gman thank you for your work and continuing improving this work of art. I can't imagine playing arma without this tool. Bohemia really needs to have a discussion with you about implementing this into the next vanilla arma game. The Eden editor the high command modules always seemed unfinished to me with so much more potential. 

 

Did you ever think adding a side mission module or adding to the mission generator side mission options. How cool would it be to have about a dozen or so various basic side missions that will populate across the map besides the three that can be generated with a mission. Module that will generate only basic side missions across the map and then the mission maker can't decide what units will be protecting that objective by using MCC or Zeus to populate the objective area. 

 

Once again thank you for your continuing work. Avibird

@shay_gman we are sometimes using MCC to create AAS missions. Can you tell me if it's possible to make so-called splits, a capture point that allows teams to split up into two separate routes? Right now I believe you can only make routes with one single line of connected capture points, it would be nice if there could be several.

 

I hope what I said made sense. If not I'll gladly explain things some more.

Hi guys, I spawned GAIA groups of all types (MOVE, NOFOLLOW and FORTIFY). GAIA loves to have problems on building/patrols. The below error message appears numerous times. I think it is area dependent... areas with few buildings? Anything you can do? I would have hunted for bugs, but for some reason, MCC, if I build a pbo does not run.

Well, it does not seem to be dependent on MOVE, NOFOLLOW or FORTIFY. I have no idea, with GAIA controlled groups I always get the error.

I think it seems to be because of an invalid variable definition and blank space here:

"\@mcc_sandbox_a3\addons\mcc_sandbox_mod\gaia\functions\control\fn_generateBuildingPatrolWaypoints.sqf"

Line 19, see "_buildings ". Line 19 has to be:

private ["_group", "_buildings","_max","_i","_wp","_pos"];

Why can't I get the Mcc AI respawn group module to work in the Eden editor. It works if I use it during the mission with Zeus interface. Was it designed to be only used with Zeus and not with the Eden editor. I've tried to sync it to the group place it on the group does not work. ? Any input will be great. Did he get broken since the last game update?

I'd love to do error fixing on https://github.com/shaygman/MCC_sandbox_modDev because I cannot use MCC any more with GAIA, too many errors. But I cannot compile the repo. Have never been able to. With Mikeros pbo-tools. The file it cannot include (\mcc_sandbox_mod\definesMod.hpp) is exactly there. And editable. But it cannot be included.

 

I also tried to fix a syntax error via hex editing the pbo file; but the mod won't just load then.

 


config.cpp missing: "\mcc_sandbox_mod\definesMod.hpp"
In File [bleh]\MCC_sandbox_modDev-master\config.cpp: Line 419 C

Same here, MCC cannot be packed with "proper" tools because it is too broken. But you can just use Mikeros makePbo or PBO Manager to literally just go "ignore whatever it is and just push it into this pbo I don't care!".

Well I was able to create a pbo this way, but it was not loaded then. No entry in the scroll menu, GAIA caching absent... I am so much dependent on GAIAs caching 😞 and also its bigger scale operations... but with the regular release I get flooded with error messages, i.e. it is not usable.

 

Do you think private ["_buildings ", "_max"]; will not properly initialize the _buildings variable? OK I could test it. But currently I find myself so often fixing and coding and tinkering for HOURS, which run so fast... and then playing 5 minutes.

private doesn't initialize any variables. Which is why you should prefer private keyword and initialize right away.
