[MP] =BTC= Hearts and Minds

[Axebeard 0]

We're running the Tanoa version with tweaks and want to have enemies on boats, but not divers or submarines. We're using RHS Nationalist Troops as the enemy, and they don't have those units, but I can't find where underwater units are added so I can Blacklist them.

For submarines, just remove them from the list of btc_type_boats  as explained here: https://github.com/Vdauphin/HeartsAndMinds/blob/master/%3DBTC%3Dco%4030_Hearts_and_Minds.Altis/core/def/mission.sqf#L498

You could try to ask to search for only ground position by puting false instead btc_p_sea of here: https://github.com/Vdauphin/HeartsAndMinds/blob/master/%3DBTC%3Dco%4030_Hearts_and_Minds.Altis/core/fnc/city/findPos.sqf#L30

Seems to have worked so far.

Another thing just cropped up (of course), I blacklisted UAZs with grenade launchers for RHS Nationalist Troops (GUER) and they still keep spawning.
 

They show in the editor as Nationalist Troops > Car, UAZ-3151 (AGS-30) and added these lines to the Mission file, the classname is "rhsgref_nat_uaz_ags".

case "rhsgref_faction_nationalist" : {
        btc_type_mg = btc_type_mg - ["rhsgref_nat_AGS30_TriPod"];
        btc_type_gl = btc_type_gl - ["rhsgref_nat_AGS30_TriPod"];
        btc_type_motorized = btc_type_motorized - ["rhsgref_nat_uaz_ags"];
        btc_type_motorized_armed = btc_type_motorized_armed - ["rhsgref_nat_uaz_ags"];
        btc_type_boats = btc_type_boats - ["I_SDV_01_F"];


Thanks for all the help!

I don't know, try to look in the variable btc_type_motorized and see if there is no upper letter in the classname

Thanks! it worked.

 

BTW, are you using Alive Support on your missions? We are having a lot of issues with Alive Transport and CAS.

CAS helos don't engage any targets, Transport don't pick up any vehicle and every time I give them "Land" command, the HELO touches the ground but immediately takes off

Have anyone of you experienced the same troubles?

Dredging up an old question just in case someone else has this issue.
If you use ALiVE supports + a headless client you'll find the ALiVE supports do all sorts of weird things. The built in ALiVE HC manager works for keeping the supports off the HC, but I've yet to find a reliable way to do this with other HC scripts.

[CraveMode 16]

@VdauphinReally enjoy your work on this mission. There has been something that has plagued our online persistent server for a while and although I have been learning the SQF language, still very noob at this.

 

We have found running the mission 24/7 without supervision sometimes, the vehicles end up all wrecked or abandoned by public players. We encourage players to take care of vehicles, even put up boards for them to read but it happens. One of the ways around this we have come up with is to make the vehicles respawn after an hour, whether they are destroyed or abandoned. This way, when active groups get on at certain times they won't find all the vehicles are gone because one person was up late using them over and over and respawning. 

 

I know the mission is made to be used in this way, but the issue I am running into is any respawn script I use, it causes the helis to keep blowing up after respawn. Only after I comment out the line in the veh add respawn function that has helis respawn does it work.

But that leads to odd behavior where markers stay on the map even if a humvee or any other btc_veh_x had respawned already. I thought about leaving off the btc_veh_x but from what I understand, some of the functionality including db saving will be lost with it between restarts.

 

So, finally to the suggestion. When you get time, or if anyone else who branches off, could you consider adding options for respawning for those who may use the mission in this way? I have been hacking at it but I am in no way at that level just yet of coding to understand how it is working in this mission. My players and I would greatly appreciate it!

H&M isn't compatible with any HC script because most eventHandler are not trigger when units isn't local to where eventHandler  has been added. So basically you will not get reputation bonus/malus when you kill an enemy/civilian. To avoid this I am experimenting a new approach compatible with any HC script (https://github.com/Vdauphin/HeartsAndMinds/pull/674). But you need to remember:

H&M spawn AI when player enter in city and remove them when player leave. So it is not necessary to add headless for them. This will also add desync to player. That why H&M add Headless for enemies patrols only because there are present what ever is the player position.

 

Also, H&M auto add HC support so other script will be in conflict.

 

Cheers

Hello, thanks I appreciate

 

Use this wiki to make all your vehicle respawnable: http://vdauphin.github.io/HeartsAndMinds/Add-vehicle-or-boat-to-H&M-system#2-add-respawn-to-vehicle-or-boat

You just have to move btc_veh_x to the btc_helo array like:

btc_helo = [btc_helo_1, btc_veh_1, btc_veh_2, btc_veh_3, btc_veh_4, btc_veh_5, btc_veh_6, btc_veh_7, btc_veh_8, btc_veh_9, btc_veh_10, btc_veh_11, btc_veh_12, btc_veh_13, btc_veh_14, btc_veh_15]; 

and leave the vehicles array empty like that:

 btc_vehicles = [];

It would be cool if you could restrict vehicles to unit members the way Liberation does.

That way you could have 1 or 2 transport trucks for public use (and maybe set those to respawn), but save the good vehicles for unit members only?

So are you saying there is built in HC support currently but only for patrols?

Just putting together a new mission for my unit and noticed something I've had issues with before. 
For some reason I always respawn where I started from instead of on the respawn marker. I've got a respawn_west marker and the mission is set to respawn on custom position. Is there anything else I need to change?
I want the players to respawn at the medical tent I've placed down.

Yes, this has been done like for the case where people use the aircraft carrier. Bbecause arma marker (respawn_west) doesn't have altitude, they respawn under the carrier.

Yes, you could comment this line /core/fnc/eh/player_respawn.sqf#L27

Or give the position you want to see the player respawn here /core/fnc/eh/player.sqf#L28

You are welcome. All this fun has been reach thanks to all contributors work.

Should I really allow you to improve, create great feature and get fun to only your team? What will happen if all contributors don't share their work?

 

Honestly, I would prefer to see your contribution on github so every Arma 3 players will enjoy it instead of keeping it private. Also, you will get hotfix and major update from those contributors so your mission will not be out of date in less than few months.

 

Here is some little instruction about contributing: For-developer-and-tester#branches

But you can also ask help directly through github issue.

 

Remember, any help is welcome. Cheers.

Hello, I am in need of some help. I'm using your latest version of H&M 1.19.6

 

I've ported your missions into 5-6 maps, I've done it before no issues. 

 

I am currently working on porting it to an IFA3 map and am having issues. When i select any west faction as the enemy they do not spawn when in the mission. Instead it spawns the vanilla independent side. I've tried all the German side factions in the parameters, i even tried the vanilla blufor side. It does not spawn anything on the west as the enemy. So basically instead of it spawning any west faction it defaults to independent and spawns them. Is there anyway I can fix this?

 

Thanks

Yes, this is intended. You can't fight against a faction with the same side of you.
