Good Job!

Maybe I forgot something but I can't seem to run this mission in MP

I'm going through the briefing, click continue and then I see the Wasp Warfare logo with a background and nothing else happens.

I'm using the latest version 0.206.

Edit: Downloaded 0.204 and it's exactly the same.

Cheers

Hello, where you try to start mission on dedicated server or Local server, where you PC is Server? And what map Altis or Stratis? In our server 0.206 and all work. You can check self "WASP Test Warfare Server".

[Grumpy Old Man 3545]

Local server with my PC as host, 0.206 and 0.204 for altis won't continue past the logo screen.

[derakoren 12]

Local server with my PC as host, 0.206 and 0.204 for altis won't continue past the logo screen.

Mission for dedicated Server, we don't do for local host.

Just start dedicated server on you PC:

1. Copy mission in "Arma3\MPMissions" folder.

2. Start "Arma 3\arma3server.exe".

3. Start arma 3 and find your server.

Enjoy!

[Grumpy Old Man 3545]

Ah, I knew I forgot something.

Thanks for the quick response!

Hi. Add please some video with the demonstration of the main gameplay parts.

Thanks.

What is the problem ? :confused:

Thank you for your answer !

Thank you for your answer !

Thx man, i check this and give you answer so fast how i can.

[blubFisch 10]

Looks very promising, unfortunately i cannot run it on my linux server because of many file name case issues (for example, it searches for MFMenu.hpp but the file is called MFmenu.hpp)

[Spyker 10]

You may rename those files. Just use pbo packer/unpacker for these purposes.

[Spyker 10]

The missions have been updated to v0.207. The changelog and missions are located in the first post of this thread. Lot of bug fixes plus several additional features.

[blubFisch 10]

I've tried to manually rename some of the files, but it seems to be more than a few required renames.

If i make it linux compatible and send the changes in git-compatible patch, will you import them?

[DaViSFiT 21]

Any plans of headless client implementation?

btw. looks great! Will definitely put your map on our server! :cool:

If you mean local client version, maybe but not now, firstly need optimize MP code for better play. If you mean something else i do not understand you.

[DaViSFiT 21]

Local Client version? Hmm no :P

It is a client "server" that takes over the ai from the server. server have more space (power) for something else and the ai running on other cpu cores. technical its like a player buy some ai and the ai are now computed local by the players pc. best suited of the headless client runs on the same server(pc) like the dedicated server or a server that is directly connected over LAN (1GBit) with the dedicated server. we run HC nearly 1 year now with as many missions as possible and the performance of the server is much better then without it. many big clans use it.

I hope i could explain it good enough.

I like this wasp cti/warfare..

I like this wasp cti/warfare..

This is currently our favorite game type/map. Currently, running a Linux server, we are unable to change the start time... the server launches fine but when clients connect their games hard lock and need to be terminated via the task manager. I assume this might be related to the above case-sensitivity issues, so I am highly anticipating an updated version where the file names have been fixed.

Apart from that, keep up the excellent work! We can't wait to see how WASP Warfare CTI evolves in the future.

:cool:

[DaViSFiT 21]

we tested the mission today. We had some performance problems when several citys get attacked at the same time, too many ai are on the server. would be really great if you can read in the headless client.

- Sometimes if i bought ammo and my west was full and he wanted to add ammo to my backpack, he deleted stuff from my backpack and add ammo there.

- ai are a bit dump and too easy. you can wipe out hole citys with 3 AT guys. later if you can buy tanks you need 1 tank for the hole city. would be cool if they counter attack an attack.

- what is the supply upgrade? increases the supply per minute?

Mission at the moment is far from optimized and still has many bugs , in this respect, buying weapons menu is no exception. Since there are so many bugs , but we first fix bugs related to optimization. Therefore editing menu weapons purchases I'll last, since it would take a lot of time .

About AI , according to recent tests was observed subsidence FPS on the client side with the use of artillery and of course because of the creation of bots when activated , we are now working on it.

Thank you all for your help in identifying bugs and taking part in the testing

It's hard to answer right now. You may send to me the list of those files firstly. I'll check them and then will reply to you.

Concerning HC: where can I get the latest version of HC for Arma 3? I'm interesting in script's part of it in order to join all spawned AI's to HC side during the match.

Is there a way to adjust the view distance from the menu? It will be great in the use of aircrafts to operate effectively.

Some notes with the Linux server:

• Wrote a script to rename all filenames within the .SQF files to be case sensitive with the file names in the directories
  
• Timers are not correct, commander selection takes 3 minutes and researching upgrades take upwards of 6-8
  
• Enemy infantry spawns about 200m above the ground and fall to their deaths
  
• Voting window is not able to be opened after the first vote, it pops open and then immediately closes
  

I can provide a link to my filename normalization script if you want, it recurses though all directories in the PBO (extracted) and for each filename it searches through all files for a case insensitive match to that name and changes it to match whatever the file is actually called accounting for case sensitivity. Might speed up that aspect of the development process.

Yes, please send it to me or leave here. ;)
