dfsgdcfa 1 Posted October 27, 2013 Hello, I've got a noob question. I didn't capture a zone yet but I'm doing side missions. My question is how I can get ammo. Only with the supply drop? There is not everything I need... So, where I can get an ammo box with all weapons? Sorry for my English. Best regards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
irfanahmed1979 10 Posted October 27, 2013 Hello,I've got a noob question. I didn't capture a zone yet but I'm doing side missions. My question is how I can get ammo. Only with the supply drop? There is not everything I need... So, where I can get an ammo box with all weapons? Sorry for my English. Best regards. You need to access the Armory (Red coloured option) either by pointing at your commanding officer and scrolling with the mouse wheel or if I'm not mistaken even the at supply box (the one that you get air dropped). ---------- Post added at 11:52 ---------- Previous post was at 11:41 ---------- Nice to see the 'manual placement of HQ' bug removed. A few suggestions for the next version: 1. Buyable Tank platoons, Tank sections, SP gun Platoons and sections and also the MLRS section. 2. Task Forces to have more variety rather than just Mech infantry. Tank Platoons, etc. might be a nice addition to TF types. 3. Ability to buy speedboats, if near a medium to large sized port or jetty. 4. UAVs should be available, especially when occupying an airbase or just the ground UAVs.

dfsgdcfa 1 Posted October 27, 2013 Thank you very much. I didn't see this. Another question. Is it possible to use the laser designator together with the JDAM or something else? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
timsk 10 Posted October 28, 2013 Only with the supply drop? There is not everything I need... The supply drop uses the VAS. It should contains every weapon, ammo and equipment item. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dfsgdcfa 1 Posted October 28, 2013 Not for me. I can only open the inventory. I cant use the VAS. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kibot 2 Posted October 28, 2013 You have to unlock the armory first. Then newly dropped supply crates will have the VAS. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
salty6924 12 Posted October 28, 2013 I have been running this mission with my m8s for the past few days and man is it addicting. I have added in ALLINARMA + TMR and some other goodies, So we can play it on cherno. I also edited the recruit vehicle script to produce a mix of A2 and A3 vehicles. Cherno Shines in the A3 Engine. Anyone who gets this working on dedicated will be my hero. Please let me know ASAP. Kudos to the mission creator. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ataribaby 54 Posted October 28, 2013 Just played 4hour and finaly won war on Altis. Great mission. One problem I encountered is transport heli support needs some failsafe fallback as in once case after landing on LZ after pickup noting happens and heli never became available again, next once it took alt and stay in hover and last once we got shotdown and autorotate landed, squad and crew survived. Heli crew left heli and heli support was never available again. Beside that great mission. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hyzoran 17 Posted October 28, 2013 I have a small request which I think will improve this mission 100-fold: PLEASE make the Squad Manager accessible anywhere, rather than just at the headquarters, it is annoying when I need to micromanage my high command divisions and to force mobile infantry squads to dismount their vehicles. I want to be able to do this everywhere. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fawkes 10 Posted October 29, 2013 Its such a shame but I can no longer play this mission because of the AI fail bug. Question to those who can successfully play through the mission: do you use any mods/scripts or addons? General question: does anyone know of any mods that may help with AI processing? I'm quite knew to using community created content and haven't tried any extra mods yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
salty6924 12 Posted October 29, 2013 Alright, Bit of an issue. I am incorperating BTC revive into this. Unfortunatley, if a member of your team cannot come to your pos you must respawn. If you choose to respawn at base, it puts you into the ocean. I have defined base as the following without success: _hqblu , and PosOfBLUHQ What is the actual name of the base that i need to use in the BTC script...i cannot for the life of me find it. Thanks Ki Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Akyten 10 Posted October 30, 2013 So i made some changes, using clients AI settings seems to be working so far atleast in Singleplayer. Also removed some options like infantry special training(since i dont know if it will actually effect anything at all since the settings is from the client) AI difficulty at startup (since you can define it yourself in options/cfg) Still needs some more testing tho, not sure if it will actually work in MP i guess the host can define the difficulty and stuff. Gonna do some more testing tonight Thanks kibot for the awesome mod keep up the great work :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jtgibson 18 Posted October 30, 2013 (edited) Hi Kibot! There's a lot of code repetition going on in the request_vehicle.sqf file, so I broke down the logic and compacted the code quite a bit. Instead of the switch-do performing the same branches over and over again, all the switch-do does is assign variables, and then the very bottom of the script handles the execution. As a bonus feature, because the vehicles list was getting a bit long, I sorted it in order of cost and added "dummy" lines to the selection box that help organise the information (and do nothing when clicked). Note that I hacked it a bit to include a couple new unit types -- specifically both the open and covered HEMTT trucks (the covered truck has a nice cloth canopy over it), as well as the Warfare-style repair/refuel/ammo trucks (I wanted to salvage one of our MBTs that lost a track in the field but was otherwise fine, but couldn't because there's no repair functionality built into the scenario for recovering vehicles (only vehicle refit at a base)). Since the repair trucks in particular are rather gamey, if you didn't want them you'd have to remove that part of the request.sqf and adjust the switch-do order as normal to accommodate the new "case" numbers in request_vehicle.sqf, but the new format is so much cleaner and more compact in my not-so-humble opinion, so it shouldn't be too difficult to make the switch -- or to add new vehicles anytime you like, in case they introduce a few more vehicles during the Fight and Win episodes. =) Next on my list is coming up with the simple ammo drops request I specified earlier -- where you get a single ammo box containing a single package of necessary items, such as Titan AT rockets since the only way to get more of those presently is to abuse the Armory system. request.sqf: // case # _handle = createDialog "ressourceheader"; waitUntil {dialog}; ctrlSetText [1000, format["%1",commandpointsblu1]]; ctrlSetText [1001, format["%1",zoneundercontrolblu]]; ctrlSetText [1002, format["%1",WARCOM_blufor_ap]]; // UNITS _index = lbAdd [2100, "Rifleman (2CP)"]; // 0 _index = lbAdd [2100, "Grenadier (3CP)"]; // 1 _index = lbAdd [2100, "Automatic Rifleman (3CP)"]; // 2 _index = lbAdd [2100, "AT Rifleman (3CP)"]; // 3 _index = lbAdd [2100, "Medic (4CP)"]; // 4 _index = lbAdd [2100, "AA Specialist (4CP)"]; // 5 _index = lbAdd [2100, "Repair Specialist (4CP)"]; // 6 _index = lbAdd [2100, "AT Specialist (4CP)"]; // 7 _index = lbAdd [2100, "SF Diver (3CP)"]; // 8 _index = lbAdd [2100, "Marksman (3CP)"]; // 9 _index = lbAdd [2100, "Sniper (4CP)"]; // 10 _index = lbAdd [2100, "Spotter (3CP)"]; // 11 _index = lbAdd [2100, "Explosive Specialist (4CP)"]; // 12 lbSetCurSel [2100, 0]; // SQUADS _index0 = lbAdd [2101, "Fireteam (8CP)"]; // 0 _index0 = lbAdd [2101, "Rifle Squad (16CP)"]; // 1 _index0 = lbAdd [2101, "Weapons Squad (18CP)"]; // 2 _index0 = lbAdd [2101, "AT Team (12CP)"]; // 3 _index0 = lbAdd [2101, "AA Team (15CP)"]; // 4 _index0 = lbAdd [2101, "SF Recon Team (12CP)"]; // 5 _index0 = lbAdd [2101, "SF Recon Squad (20CP)"]; // 6 _index0 = lbAdd [2101, "Divers Team (12CP)"]; // 7 _index0 = lbAdd [2101, "Sniper Team (8CP)"]; // 8 _index0 = lbAdd [2101, "Medical Team (10CP)"]; // 9 _index0 = lbAdd [2101, "Motorized Scouts (28CP)"]; // 10 _index0 = lbAdd [2101, "Mechanized Squad (46CP)"]; // 11 lbSetCurSel [2101, 0]; // VEHICLES _index1 = lbAdd [2102, "-- Light Vehicles --"]; // 0 (dummy) _index1 = lbAdd [2102, "ATV (1CP)"]; // 1 _index1 = lbAdd [2102, "Hunter Unarmed (5CP)"]; // 2 _index1 = lbAdd [2102, "Hunter HMG (18CP)"]; // 3 _index1 = lbAdd [2102, "Hunter GMG (25CP)"]; // 4 _index1 = lbAdd [2102, "-- Trucks --"]; // 5 (dummy) _index1 = lbAdd [2102, "HEMTT Open Transport (2CP)"]; // 6 _index1 = lbAdd [2102, "HEMTT Covered Transport (3CP)"]; // 7 _index1 = lbAdd [2102, "HEMTT Fuel (10CP)"]; // 8 _index1 = lbAdd [2102, "HEMTT Ammo (25CP)"]; // 9 _index1 = lbAdd [2102, "HEMTT Repair (35CP)"]; // 10 _index1 = lbAdd [2102, "-- Armoured Vehicles --"]; // 11 (dummy) _index1 = lbAdd [2102, "CRV-6e Bobcat (28CP)"]; // 12 _index1 = lbAdd [2102, "IFV-6c Cheetah (30CP)"]; // 13 _index1 = lbAdd [2102, "AMV-7 Marshall (35CP)"]; // 14 _index1 = lbAdd [2102, "IFV-6c Panther (35CP)"]; // 15 _index1 = lbAdd [2102, "M2A1 Slammer (55CP)"]; // 16 _index1 = lbAdd [2102, "-- Transport Helicopters --"]; // 17 (dummy) _index1 = lbAdd [2102, "MH-9 Hummingbird (15CP)"]; // 18 _index1 = lbAdd [2102, "MH-80 Ghosthawk (22CP)"]; // 19 _index1 = lbAdd [2102, "-- Attack Helicopters --"]; // 20 (dummy) _index1 = lbAdd [2102, "AH-9 Pawnee (40CP)"]; // 21 _index1 = lbAdd [2102, "AH-99 Blackfoot (75CP)"]; // 22 lbSetCurSel [2102, 0]; // Supports !!!

Akyten 10 Posted October 30, 2013 Yeah so the AI still fucked up after a long while, gonna look thrue the error log more tommorow too tired right now, also noticed my FPS going from 30 to 10 right before the AI stopped working. Also tried manually defining AI/difficulty/skill settings for my team and use the game settings for the other and they still stop at the same time, also the bug usually happens between 5-7 fobs and 4-5 areas taken, with or without requested squad members (default settings except my ai/difficulty/skill settings whatever you wanna call it tests) only 2 things i unlock is armory and heli taxi most of the times. Cant really narrow it down more atm Also noticed while i skimmed thrue the error log radiochatter4.ogg errors ones in awhile its trying to load from a diffrent folder Cannot load sound 'missions\__cur_sp.altis\sounds\support\radiochatter4.ogg' not sure why anyway gonna do a full error log next time will continue my tests tommorow or so. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Helix Falks 10 Posted November 1, 2013 This is allot of fun. I have a couple of suggestions tho, would it be possible to have the Officer in the command post standing still, he moves about stepping forward from time to time which makes him hard to interact with and is it possible to have zones over each city as well as the random ones? City fighting is more fun imo there is less greenery to mess up you LoS anyhow awesome stuff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Koranis 1 Posted November 3, 2013 Kibot, first of all thank you for this mission. I'm a long time Arma fan but everytime a new Arma game was released I preferred to wait until its improved content would give me a reason to purchase it. That said, I was convinced it was to early for Arma 3, furthermore I still enjoyed the rich content available for Arma 2. But I tried your mission on a friend's PC, also a big Arma fan, and what I did afterwards was going home, purchase Arma 3 and download your mission. This is kind of scenario I was waiting for since Arma 1. A dynamic war in a polished package that doesn't easily give away its artificial nature. I've tried the version 0.75 and while it's still not perfect I think it's what Arma game was made for. :) I really hope you keep working on it! Thank you again, I can't wait for the 1.0 :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dfsgdcfa 1 Posted November 5, 2013 Hello, my new problem is I can not use the support after loading the savegame when Im playing with another guy. I have to unlock a new support everytime and then I can use the "old" supports again. After loading a savegame there is NOTHING in the menu of communication. It is empty. Sitrep is even not there. Is there a workaround for this or I have to do like I wrote everytime. The problem is, someday there wont be any supports to unlock. Can you help me with this?
