Hey guys. Thanks for the mission. It's always been a favorite of mine and my friends. We are having issues with ACE and not sure who's end it's on. We are getting an error that says ace_medical_gui.pbo is outdated. Is this something that can be fixed? We tried a lot of methods to try to get it working.

Z-nine I posted to Vdauphin instead of yourself - did you resolve this problem and if so how, please.

Is there any reason the mission uses homemade init_player.sqf (run on client from init.sqf) instead of initPlayerLocal.sqf, and all the functions are compiled using script instead of description.ext etc?

No real reason. I think it has been design like that to keep stuff separate if admin have their own initPlayerLocal.sqf

The main idea here is to be sure function working only server side are not executed client side

Hello, I need help please, I carried your mission on the map of Kujari, but impossible to prevent the AI (civilian, enemy) enter the base that I created. Is it because of the card? I even did as mentioned

 

/ * // if you want a safe area if

(_position distance getMarkerPos "YOUR_MARKER_AREA" <500) exitWith {};

* /

 

But nothing works, I also named an ellipse like that YOUR_MARKER_ARE A.

Here http://vdauphin.github.io/HeartsAndMinds/Prevent-AI-from-spawning-near-the-base is advise how to put your marker. Also, you should avoid road crossing your base because AI use road to travel around the map. Prefer put base at road ending.

Did you first uncomment the script (remove the /* and */)?

Additionally, the newer safe area scripting looks like

Quote

        //if you want a safe area
        if ((getMarkerPos "safe_zone") inArea [_position, 500, 500, 0, false]) exitWith {};

 

Where the area defined needs to overlap the zone(s) nearby to prevent the area from being created as a legal zone for AI to spawn. So for your base, check the distance from the center of the marker you're using for your safe zone to the nearby villages/towns/cities/airports that are going to create zones for AI to spawn. You can use the debug tool in parameters to see where zones are populating on the map.

Hello, I still have a new problem, I receive this message after modifying the slots (I deleted the basic ones and I added some). Since the error message remains in the middle of the screen, what should I do? Sorry for English (google translation)  https://imgur.com/mMhD55l

You can increase the number of enemies here: https://github.com/Vdauphin/HeartsAndMinds/blob/master/%3DBTC%3Dco%4030_Hearts_and_Minds.Altis/core/def/param.hpp#L80-L84

add 150% or 200% as you need.

Also this https://github.com/Vdauphin/HeartsAndMinds/blob/master/%3DBTC%3Dco%4030_Hearts_and_Minds.Altis/core/def/param.hpp#L74-L79

Over a year and a half later and I'm having a hard time not using Hearts and Minds as a starting point for all my mission needs.

 

I'm going to be starting a new one in the next few weeks, and one of the things I'd like to do is manually set up the hideouts in preselected spots. The random location generation has been great, but this campaign I'd like to assume direct control.

 

Placing stuff down in the editor is easy enough, but what I need help with is telling the mission that the places I have made are the hideouts to be destroyed. Which to be more specific, since an ammo box is the hideout destroy objective, is there a way to assign that variable manually to an object and disable the hideout generation scripting?

Just set the number of hideout to zero in mission parameter?

I'll test that out to see what happens.

 

The other question remains on how to get the framework to see my hideouts as the objective hideouts.

Hello,

Well, this only depend on your SQF skill.

The simpler would be to pass the correct array here: https://github.com/Vdauphin/HeartsAndMinds/blob/master/%3DBTC%3Dco%4030_Hearts_and_Minds.Altis/core/init_server.sqf#L14

When adding custom locations I've noticed that civilians don't spawn properly and I can't see the custom locations in debug, is this normal?
