Description: The day started out with a simple objective, take out a target.. than it went down hill from there...

12 player co-op.

Objective: Complete all assigned tasks.

Intel: Chemical weapons have been used on the Island to eliminate many of the local population. A good majority of the island is still highly toxic, we have marked in RED where we believe it to be unsafe to enter. One of the chemical weapons scientists is flying out for a meeting to swap highly classified information with the enemy, he is a civilian, he is NOT to make the meeting, do you understand? We will update you via the SCRAM message system (TASKS) with your EVAC location once you have completed this mission

resolved debug issue

[massasster 1]

Updated to 12 player co-op - two versions included , one with revive and one without. I've been tinkering with revive and I think it has been crashing randomly - I can't confirm this is the scripts fault, because as usual B.I. includes no real crash reports....

[massasster 1]

Updated to version 1c . this fixes a crash with the revive script active and a faulty trigger not spawning enemy at one of the bases.

[Kommiekat 11]

Possible to play as SP with AI team on LAN?

[massasster 1]

yes, sure can

[massasster 1]

Updated to version 1d.

This fixes the tasks not updating when players join in later.

Adds ambient radio chatter to the vehicles

Adds the requirement of pilots to fly the helicopters

Adds Grenade stop to stop players from team killing inside spawn

Adds a delay so you get to watch the final objective explode

Moved Two separate squads under one leader making one large 12 man Squad (done to prevent friendly fire incidents)

Deleted some debug triggers (toxic zone warnings)

[bearbison 10]

Noted an error with version 1d when testing it on our server this morning:

Error in expression <red_marker = 1;BTC_vehs_mobile_west = [mobile_west_0];
BTC_vehs_mobile_east = [>
 Error position: <mobile_west_0];
BTC_vehs_mobile_east = [>
 Error Undefined variable in expression: mobile_west_0

Also to make things easier when looking at the rpt file if you add the following to the init.sqf it makes it easier to spot when your mission starts:

diag_log text "";
diag_log text format["|=============================   %1   =============================|", missionName];
diag_log text "";

[massasster 1]

i had mobile respawns active, with no mobile respawn points - should not effect anything other than the error in the rpt file , but its patched with mobile respawns disabled - you can re download to fix -

Edited April 1, 2013 by MassAsster

[massasster 1]

Updated to version 1e

Added Landmines around some objectives (Watch your step)

Added Side Missions

Added Mobile Spawn (Hunter)

Upped life limit from 10 to 20

Changed one air vehicle to a KA-(Black)

Increased the time Helicopters will remain away from spawn when abandoned (5 minutes)

oh, and BearBison - I did incorporate that line into the init, thanks!

Edited April 1, 2013 by MassAsster

[massasster 1]

Update (1F)

* another attempt to fix tasking

* Helmet Cam script added (using the * key on your number-pad)

(The author of the script required two items to make this work, a set of glasses, and a helmet- make sure you have both items)

* some minor adjustments to mission times and planning

* Warnings for zones with mines in them added (watch for signs)

-Note With the addition of some side missions, completing all tasks including side missions has brought the average game play time to between 90-120 minutes. (that's one full squad of 12 working together full time)

HOT FIX ver 1G

The first objective was unintentionally set to BLUEFOR not present - resulting in everyone having to be out of the town for the next objective to trigger - for those of you who don't like un-intended "features" here is a hot fix. REALLY REALLY sorry about that.

[deethree 1]

Will try the new version. BTW i saw you on our server and didnt recognize you, I would have worked a bit more with you if I knew.

Shameless plug:

We're looking for an in house mission maker if youre looking for a group.

[massasster 1]

lol its all good - sorry it had to be your server I figured out the mistake on :(

[deethree 1]

even better!

[massasster 1]

UPDATE version 1h

Updated map to comply with the latest patch.

Updated Revive script to comply with the latest patch.

Updated VAS script to comply with the latest patch.

Updated Ambient Radio Chatter script to fix some bugs

[bigshot 62]

yes, sure can

no, actually i dont think you can...each of the 12 units are all in their own group (1 unit per group) making you go it alone if playing by yourself. Unless there's a way to recruit which i didnt find.

[massasster 1]

UPDATE V2

Reworked toxic zones (thanks to galzohar & Mikie boy), they are now lethal.

Added starting mission to secure your gear.

Added many more mine fields through out the map.

[bearbison 10]

With the latest update a few issues with the mission, for a quick fix see the edits below (done yesterday so our group could complete the mission last night, was a good mission).

Used and modified code from Kronzky and naong to get fully working.

Should not break anything that you intended by using the methods listed but may not be the neatest as I said was done quickly:

ups.sqf and scripts\ups.sqf (still unsure as to why you have a few scripts twice in the mission instead of just once?)

comment out lines 450, 465 and 472

       //_lead setVehicleInit _initstr;
               //_newunit setVehicleInit _initstr;
   //processInitCommands;

slp\slp_tasks.sqf

comment out lines 69, 70 and 71

   //(Vehicle leader _grp) setVehicleInit _string; 
   //sleep .1;
   //processInitCommands;

vehicle.sqf

replace the code (lines 115-121):

       if (_haveinit) then 
                   {_unit setVehicleInit format ["%1;", _unitinit];
                   processInitCommands;};
       if (_hasname) then 
                   {_unit setVehicleInit format ["%1 = this; this setVehicleVarName ""%1""",_unitname];

[massasster 1]

@BearBison - huge thank you !

I've not been able to play a stable game since the last patch, I get a nice 10-15 minutes before it crashes out , so I have not been able to play with any changes.

Ive applied your suggested changes , I trust they work as you completed the mission.

Updated VERSION 2a

[bearbison 10]

no worries, we didn't see any errors but doesn't mean it all works as you intended but it looked like it worked fine and all went well. Took a nice couple of hours to complete and made for a good laugh especially with our pilots being drunk :)

[massasster 1]

lol sounds like you had a good time!

Now to resolve this crash issue so I can get back to playing :*(
