Kydoimos 915 Posted December 16, 2015 @FR_Helios - hi matey! Regarding the missing STR_Campaign_title - I can't seem to replicate the issue - are you loading the mod locally from MODDB / Armaholic? If that's the case, it might be the issue. It should be alright if you use the method here (plus, at least someone will see the PDF I've made, lol!) On the subject of the description.ext, try using this as a template: class Campaign { name = "$STR_Campaign_Title"; firstBattle = Missions; disableMP = 1; enableHub = 1; briefingName = "$STR_Campaign_Title"; author = "Kydoimos"; overviewPicture = "\Resist\Overview\Overview.paa"; overviewText = $STR_A3_StageAOverview; class MissionDefault { lives = -1; lost = ; end1 = ; end2 = ; end3 = ; end4 = ; end5 = ; end6 = ; }; class Missions { name = "$STR_Campaign_Title"; cutscene = ; firstMission = M_01; end1 = ; end2 = ; end3 = ; end4 = ; end5 = ; end6 = ; lost = ; class M_01: MissionDefault { end1 = M_02; template = M_01.Stratis; briefingName = $STR_RE_Title; author = "Kydoimos"; overviewPicture = "\Resist\Images\Loadscreen\LoadMission_01.paa"; overviewText = $STR_RE_Mission_Description; }; class M_02: MissionDefault { end1 = M_03; template = M_02.Altis; briefingName = $STR_ER_Title; author = "Kydoimos"; overviewPicture = "\Resist\Images\Loadscreen\LoadMission_02.paa"; overviewText = $STR_ER_Mission_Description; }; class M_03: MissionDefault { end1 = M_04; briefingName = $STR_AT_Title; author = "Kydoimos"; overviewPicture = "\Resist\Images\Loadscreen\LoadMission_03.paa"; overviewText = $STR_AT_Mission_Description; template = M_03.Altis; }; class M_04: MissionDefault { end1 = M_05; briefingName = $STR_ON_Title; author = "Kydoimos"; template = M_04.Altis; overviewPicture = "\Resist\Images\Loadscreen\LoadMission_04.paa"; overviewText = $STR_ON_Mission_Description; }; class M_05: MissionDefault { briefingName = $STR_JN_Title; author = "Kydoimos"; template = M_05.Altis; overviewPicture = "\Resist\Images\Loadscreen\LoadMission_05.paa"; overviewText = $STR_JN_Mission_Description; }; }; }; I'm thinking that ought to do the trick for you! And best of luck with Blood Brothers! Be sure to let me know when you've released it! :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kydoimos 915 Posted December 16, 2015 @Harzach - thank you, matey! I'm anxious and excited with the release! Anxious because I'm bound to have missed some bugs and excited because, well, it'll soon be time to do something new! :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
spotter001 82 Posted December 16, 2015 Great to see this thing finally out :D And also great to hear you'll be making something new :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Electricleash 133 Posted December 16, 2015 Really enjoying the addition of the new content, really adds to the uniqueness of the campaign. Switched back to main branch to give this a proper go. General Notes: I noticed that the mission names in game i,e. in the Map screen are shown as M_04 etc. instead of the actual respective misson name. I think tension music should carry on regardless, loop or restart until the next music cue. Currently, when the music finishes there tends to be this noticeably quiet void. POSSIBLE SPOILER WARNING Mission Specific: Roads End: Nothing noticeably wrong, though the music issue I mentioned is particularly evident here. Loved the gun case addition! Essential Requisite: No problems, though I notice you've disabled use of the MG on top of the first base... darn it! :P that was my go-to move for dealing with the reinforcements. Approaching Thunder: I liked the addition of fire barrels at the fuel station in the early release of this mission, just wondering why they were removed? Options None: Had a show-stopper just now, where the task to destroy the advancing tanks failed to complete. I think also if the tanks are disabled, which friendly AI often manage to do, this should also count as destroyed. It's currently a bit of a faff trying to get hold of the kit (mines etc. ) from the tables around Knight, general ARMA action menu frustration. I think the AP mines aren't particularly useful here as, in my experience, the AAF troops rarely get anywhere near the town. I think removing the Claymores altogether would be a good idea, as the vanilla implementation is practically useless. If they were indeed, movement activated or the player could choose the order in which to set them off, (some mods allow this) they might prove useful but as it stands they are dead weight, and one more item to sift through when setting up the mission. There's a comment made by Coleridge at the beginning of the mission: "I feel pretty stupid wearing this", which threw me. I picked up a cap in the previous mission where he says "I hope no-one sees me wearing this", is it something to do with that? I'm not sure why he would feel that way about a cap. Anyway that's as far as I've got so far. Going to give Options None another run, see if I get caught by the show stopper again, maybe it was a one off. Edit: Tried it another couple of times, and it gets stuck at the tank destruction task. E Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FR-Helios 28 Posted December 16, 2015 Thanks you very much for your help :) I download your campaign in armaholic (not tested with steam workshop). Maybe I'm alone with this little problem ^_^ My description.ext class Campaign { name = "$STR_NavySeals_Title1"; firstBattle = NS_01; disableMP = 1; enableHub = 1; briefingName = $STR_NavySeals_Title1; author = Helios; overviewPicture = "NavySeals_Chap1\Img\chap1.jpg"; overviewText = $STR_Seal_desc; class MissionDefault { name = "$STR_NavySeals_Title1"; cutscene =; firstMission = NS_01; end1 = ; end2 = ; end3 = ; end4 = ; end5 = ; end6 = ; lost = ; class NS_01 { Victory = NS_02; Defeat = NS_01; Defeat2 = NS_01; template = NS_01.Stratis; lives = -1; briefingName = $STR_Title1; author = "Helios"; overviewPicture = "\NavySeals_Chap1\Img\M01.jpg"; overviewText = $STR_Description1; }; class NS_02 { Victory = NS_03; Defeat = NS_02; Defeat2 = NS_02; template = NS_02.Stratis; lives = -1; briefingName = $STR_Title2; author = "Helios"; overviewPicture = "\NavySeals_Chap1\Img\M02.jpg"; overviewText = $STR_Description2; }; class NS_03 { Victory = NS_04; Defeat = NS_02; Defeat2 = NS_02; template = NS_03.Stratis; lives = -1; briefingName = $STR_Title3; author = "Helios"; overviewPicture = "\NavySeals_Chap1\Img\M03.jpg"; overviewText = $STR_Description3; }; class NS_04 { Victory = NS_05; Defeat = NS_04; Defeat2 = NS_04; template = NS_04.Chernarus; lives = -1; briefingName = $STR_Title4; author = "Helios"; overviewPicture = "\NavySeals_Chap1\Img\M04.jpg"; overviewText = $STR_Description4; }; class NS_05 { Victory = NS_06; Defeat = NS_05; Defeat2 = NS_05; template = NS_05.Stratis; lives = -1; briefingName = $STR_Title5; author = "Helios"; overviewPicture = "\NavySeals_Chap1\Img\M05.jpg"; overviewText = $STR_Description5; }; class NS_06 { Victory = NS_07; Defeat = NS_06; Defeat2 = NS_06; template = NS_06.Altis; lives = -1; briefingName = $STR_Title6; author = "Helios"; overviewPicture = "\NavySeals_Chap1\Img\M06.jpg"; overviewText = $STR_Description6; }; class NS_07 { Victory = NS_08; Defeat = NS_07; Defeat2 = NS_07; template = NS_07.Altis; lives = -1; briefingName = $STR_Title7; author = "Helios"; overviewPicture = "\NavySeals_Chap1\Img\M07.jpg"; overviewText = $STR_Description7; }; class NS_08 { Victory = NS_09; Defeat = NS_08; Defeat2 = NS_08; template = NS_08.Altis; lives = -1; briefingName = $STR_Title8; author = "Helios"; overviewPicture = "\NavySeals_Chap1\Img\M08.jpg"; overviewText = $STR_Description8; }; class NS_09 { Victory = NS_10; Defeat = NS_09; Defeat2 = NS_09; template = NS_09.Zargabad; lives = -1; briefingName = $STR_Title9; author = "Helios"; overviewPicture = "\NavySeals_Chap1\Img\M09.jpg"; overviewText = $STR_Description9; }; class NS_10 { Victory = NS_10; Defeat = NS_10; Defeat2 = NS_10; template = NS_10.Altis; lives = -1; briefingName = $STR_Title10; author = "Helios"; overviewPicture = "\NavySeals_Chap1\Img\M10.jpg"; overviewText = $STR_Description10; }; }; }; class Awards {}; class Penalties {}; I don't know why my overview texts doesn't display, campaign works fine except that. :huh: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kydoimos 915 Posted December 16, 2015 @Electricleash - hi mate! I'm afraid you may have fallen victim to a bit of a major error I made today - I uploaded an old PBO which had an error right about where you are in the campaign! Sorry! It should be sorted now! Regarding the mission titles in the map screen, I'll check that out - should have a fix tomorrow. As well, Coleridge's comment about the hat - that's a bug relating to the old PBO. It should happen once, if you pick up an enemy hat - and that's it. Should be sorted now! Let us know if you spot anything else - I'll look into your post, point by point, and see what I can do :D Thanks! EDIT: Just uploaded a fix for the mission names via Steam Workshop Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kydoimos 915 Posted December 16, 2015 @Helios - I'll check it out tomorrow, mate - I have a few ideas you can try! :P I'm sure we can find a fix Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IndeedPete 1038 Posted December 17, 2015 Glad to finally see this packed. And thanks for giving me way too much credit. ;) I had much fun over the past two hours, playing it in one piece. Made it to Options None today. I've also encountered a few minor bugs, no gamebreakers, just small stuff. Running on stable with CBA + Blastcore enabled. For example, Knight here seemed to have some trouble with his animation in Essential Requisite: Then there's Oakland not wearing a vest in Approaching Thunder. Not sure if intended or mistake in the config: And finally, again in Approaching Thunder, two apparently misplaced wooden walls in a building in the village of can't-remember-the-name: Apart from that, it went smoothly. Only thing I wished for was to have the action menu enabled in the sewers. Wanted to go for my pistol instead of the huge ass marksman rifle but I wasn't able to switch weapons. Keep it up! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DEV614 33 Posted December 17, 2015 I'm having trouble with the first mission, when I go to retrieve the toolkit from the AAF support truck, once I get close the commander says "Coleridge where the fuck you going? Get back here." and if I get closer to the truck, the task of getting the toolkit from the truck fails and the mission ends, saying I disobeyed orders. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kydoimos 915 Posted December 17, 2015 @Helios - hi mate, regarding your string issue - do you have OverviewText = $------string-------; in your mission description.ext as well? If not, try adding a separate description .ext to the mission folders and see if that does the trick - worth a shot! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ah, mate - where'd I be without you? :D Yeah, that was a corrupted animation file with Knight! Shame - you missed a great new intro there, lol! Should have all problems fixed now, just trying out the update. Regarding the action menu in the sewer - glad you mentioned it - I have very big plans for that scene and it's what I'm working on next. At the moment, it's a little gimmicky, but... well, you'll see - you're going to love it! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IndeedPete 1038 Posted December 17, 2015 Alright, finished it. And I re-ran the briefing scene of the second mission. Love the custom animations, even if some are mostly static. As always, the details are stunning! Also had a few minor issues in the last two missions. First this probably misplaced bunker around Selakano. (It was before the attack.) And then a couple of script errors in Options None: Error in expression <0 + (speedX/1)> 0:02:05 Error position: <speedX/1)> 0:02:05 Error Undefined variable in expression: speedx 0:02:05 Error in expression <0 + (speedY/1)> 0:02:05 Error position: <speedY/1)> 0:02:05 Error Undefined variable in expression: speedy 0:02:05 Error in expression <0 + (speedZ/1)> 0:02:05 Error position: <speedZ/1)> 0:02:05 Error Undefined variable in expression: speedz 0:02:05 Error during compilation of config.bin/CfgCloudlets/CannonFired2.moveVelocity 0:02:05 Error during evaluation of expression _moveVelocity in CannonFired2 0:02:05 Error in expression <0 + (speedX/1)> 0:02:05 Error position: <speedX/1)> 0:02:05 Error Undefined variable in expression: speedx 0:02:05 Error in expression <0 + (speedY/1)> 0:02:05 Error position: <speedY/1)> 0:02:05 Error Undefined variable in expression: speedy 0:02:05 Error in expression <0 + (speedZ/1)> 0:02:05 Error position: <speedZ/1)> 0:02:05 Error Undefined variable in expression: speedz // I cut the stack here for the sake of visibility. 0:04:55 Error in expression <_this reveal [player, 0.35]> 0:04:55 Error position: <reveal [player, 0.35]> 0:04:55 Error reveal: Type Array, expected Object,Group 0:04:55 Error in expression <_this reveal [player, 0.35]> 0:04:55 Error position: <reveal [player, 0.35]> 0:04:55 Error reveal: Type Array, expected Object,Group And another stack from Judgement Night: 0:32:24 Error: Failed to open file resist\sounds\wav\flare_burning.wav 0:32:24 Audio Stream: Cannot load sound 'resist\sounds\wav\flare_burning.wav' 0:35:38 Error in expression <o_Doors.sqf" Sleep 1; playSound [""Door"",true];> 0:35:38 Error position: <Door"",true];> 0:35:38 Error Missing ] 0:35:38 File Resist\missions\M_05.altis\Scripts\Romeo_Doors.sqf, line 7 :) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

armyguy277 23 Posted December 19, 2015 have armor values not been updated for 1.54 ,or am i just using an older version Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kydoimos 915 Posted December 19, 2015 @IndeedPete - ah, matey! You are nothing short of fantastic! Thanks so much - that's some great bug hunting! lol, ah, that bunker - do you know, that placement was intentional - and looking at it, I just think the location is all wrong! :) Sorted those stack errors though, well spotted! I'm such a sucker for copy and paste errors - that door sound issue was a classic copy from the mission file, hence the double ". Tsk tsk, mate, I'm getting lazy! @Helios - that is truly bizarre! Do you think you could send me your XML file? My email's Cerberus_Creative@Outlook.com. Drop me a line and I'll see if I can get it sorted? @armyguy277 - hi there! I haven't updated any armor values personally, but I believe things have been developed by BIS in that area :) I think the damage system is meant to make more sense now - it's had a lot of fine-tuning!

armyguy277 23 Posted December 20, 2015 sorry i should of clarified the custom reskined armour you have included is broken by 1.54 update which means you die in one hit to any thing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kydoimos 915 Posted December 20, 2015 @armyguy277 - hi there matey, yes, this is to do with the new damage system. The vests I created should inherit their values from the existing vanilla vests, which means the only difference is the texture :) I'll certainly double check for you, however - just in case I've missed something!

inlesco 233 Posted December 20, 2015 Just got myself some freetime to check the new release - amazing work, Kydoimos! Unmatched attention to detail! Hope you're looking for some constructive feedback, just like last time I've provided you with some! :P Replaying the camp and I think you forgot to remove the overwhelming and, sadly, immersion-breaking wildlife. They're storming the place :D 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
