large [SP/MP][COOP] Patrol Operations - Official Thread

[fivezerothree 10]

Hi FiveZeroThree,

Thanks for the positive feedback. To remove the Base Protection event handler, you'll find the executing code in fnc\eventhandlers\fn_setFiredEH.sqf (just delete the contents of the file)

Thanks for much for getting back to me. I can't tell you how much of a laugh me and my friends have been having on this mission. There's usually only three, maximum four players at any one time and we constantly get killed which is half of the fun to be honest. We're essentially using it as a Sandbox with added missons.

I'll take the time to read through the entire thread as I wanted the ability to turn down the anti-air capabilities of OPFOR a few notches as we're struggling with helo insertion and extraction.

Thanks again!

Your probably not sending a recon team in first then m8 and inserting way too close to the A.O.

We've been running a Public PO3 server constantly now since it was released and this isn't an issue we have seen.

hi

we have played a lot of missions for arma 3 but no mission is like your scripted mission. So we ask us if we could have a preview mission for your script. We could host it and try it for you or you could try it with full admin rights on our server with full premissions.

We like your mod so much that we could host your mod for your to test it.

Hi i would be open to test your patrol ops 4 if your interested msg me on the forums. Thanks for your time.

Hello, how do I disable Respawn and Revive? I want to use the new BIS function found in End Game to control the injured state and use ALiVE respawn module to control respawn location. Cheers, love your work - my group can't wait for PO4!

Is there any way to set the difficulty level? Just tested out the current release and with 1 player connected, difficulty is set to "Ultra", we usually play with 5-10 players so maybe fine tuning it a bit would be helpful. For example we do not always have AA or UAV capabilities, basicall its just basic infantry fireteam capabilities. I tried looking for a setting on the devheaven wiki but somehow did not find anything. Is there an admin menu or something?

As we wait patiently for PO4....

Anyone have an updated VAS implemented? Or advice on how to do so? The VAS used in PO3 is not just simply replaced, it's been integrated into the mission more closely than a simple folder swap.

Yah I wasn't talking about the AI skill setting or their reaction, it's the type enemies /vehicles and amount that need to be tuned down. An 2 attack choppersor tanks are way more than we can handle.

[lawndartleo 109]

Maybe Roy would be willing to let an updated internal build of PO3 loose into the wild?

Any updates on PO4? Been about a month since last indications of progress (90%)

Lol I'm still working on it and progress is steady but time developing is limited due to RL. Right now I'm re-writing part of the tasks, trying to optimise it further. The last 10% is the aesthetics and polish (Mission Hints, Tutorials, Guides, etc...) ;)

I'll record some play footage from the next test and post it up for you all. After that, a form will be posted for interested groups to register for Beta Access.

Cheers,

I can not wait any longer

[A.Cyprus 16]

Good bye then ;)

[roy86 367]

Admittedly I'm being a perfectionist with this one but for those willing, it will be worth the wait.

[A.Cyprus 16]

Good stuff. We'll be here.

Can we have an insurgency style template using leights_opfor?

I am not sure what your asking for... Leights version is easy to modify yourself but "insurgency style"?

[Jastreb 69]

Roy86 I cant wait for the release, patient bear is patient.

[themightylc 10]

Hello fellow peacemakers. I will try keep this short. We are a group of 6 (when maxed out) casual players with very little spare time at our hands. We've played a lot of DayZ & Insurgency and now we've come to realize how great it would be to play some Arma 3 and the test-sessions with PO3 were a blast - albeit somewhat chaotic.

We're somewhat overwhelmed with the options and the - let me put this mildly - "somewhat obstrusive interface".

Like Jack Sparrow said it is important knowing "what a man can do and what he can't do" - and right now we know neiter :*)

Does anyone know a good starting point for the somewhat most basic stuff, but with Patrol Operations in mind as the definitive mission option? I'm talking about

- user interface

- ingame assets (vehicles, weapons, utilities)

- group/squad organization

- gameplay hints

- PO3 specific things

thank you so much!

Needless to say we think PO3 is great - for us it is the "portal to ARMA 3" :)

[lawndartleo 109]

Greetings,

1. Can you clarify what your difficulties are with the interface? Never had an issue that a few moments of experimentation didn't sort out.
   
2. The vehicles you have at your disposal are interspersed throughout the base and have varying requirements for use. This is where the squad manager comes into play and allows the game master (admin) to grant permissions for use.
   
3. A mix of gunners, AT, AA and medics... cover all the bases.
   
4. Nothing really specific to add except be prepared to engage in a variety of situations. Plan ahead for the engagement by determining if its something that you are likely going into a hot zone or an ambush situation. Will it start hot or finish hot? Go from there.
   
5. pitch your tent before engaging in a tactical situation in a location that allows rapid redeployment to the battlefield should you become a casualty. Better to spawn nearby in a sheltered location than have to halo in on a hot zone.
   

[themightylc 10]

Thank you for your reply!

1. that's quite true - there are just some things that get lost in translation when you switch to a non-english language, but we've been able to sort most of it out

2. this was actually quite annoying for our small group. I've modified the mission so that these restrictions no longer apply

3. this is still something we're trying to figure out. A group of 5-6 players is hard to split into smaller groups, while everybody still wants to play "the most important part" but this is our own issue

4. nothing to add

5. dito

thank you again :)

Has anyone edited into PO3 the most current VAS gear box script?... With restrictions as intended by Roy86?

If yes, please post advice or indicate a server to play on to get said edits.

not sure you want to do that since the most recent version of VAS is broken. And dont expect a fix ever as the owner has moved on from VAS. I have seen a working copy around here... you may need to google... BUT you may want to move onto virtual arsenal.

[lawndartleo 109]

The 2.9 community edit is borked, too?

Oh we'll.

I agree with the arsenal path but it has one great short coming and that is the class filtering. Keeps everyone from grabbing a .308 and sniping through the operation. Now if you can enlighten me on how to enable a class filtering system on arsenal, I'm all eyes.

i want to have some flexibility with load outs but still control the situation somewhat.
