Luke Hutchinson 0 Posted May 17, 2017 Hi, Very new to Arma missions and servers. Just starting a server and wondering on some advice on how to add zeus to this mission, Logged in as admin and wondering where to proceed from here? Is there a script i need to run? Advice would be greatly appreciated from anyone! Many Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jigsor 176 Posted May 17, 2017 @itk91, I have no idea how you have tried to integrate carrier, planes and other things to the mission. So far I've only tried to incorporate Jets DLC assets into Tanoa. I Had some minor issues during play test so I just now did another edit and reuploaded to server. It really needs some more play testing but I think its working fine now. I'm looking into more universal ways of incorporating teleport to carrier that will work with all versions regardless of where its placed. If you would like to see the current application and get of copy of mission you can connect to our server then get it from you mission cache. Direct connect: bmr1.oniongamers.com port:2102 @Luke Hutchinson, Zeus is built into mission. As host or logged in admin press escape and run this code from debug console locally to assign your self as Zeus. Run it again to unassign yourself from Zeus and give load back to server. If you die while you were assigned Zeus then game will unassign Zeus from you. Ctrl + Y opens and closes Zeus interface. [player,true] spawn INS_Zeus_MP; Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Luke Hutchinson 0 Posted May 17, 2017 Thank you for such a quick reply! Massively appreciate it! Noticed an issue with it - the current mods we have on are as follows: Ares ASR A13 CBA_A3 CUP Terrains - Core CUP Terrains - Maps CUP Units CUP Vehciles CUP Weapons Project OPFOR RHSAFRF RHSGREF RHSSAF RHSUSAF When in Zeus it seems that we can't place any of the modded units. Why would this be? Do you also have a list of startup parameters in code format? And where would i put this code - in a command line or in the server.cfg? Appreciate the help Jigsor!

Jigsor 176 Posted May 17, 2017 @Luke Hutchinson, I just did a test with your mod combination on local host and it is working for me. I was able to place some units from some of the various factions show in pictures below. We use the RHS mods on our dedicated server and it works there aswell. Zeus blufor factions Zeus opfor factions Zeus Independent factions You must run the same mods client and server side containing the content you expect to see in Zeus. If you do not use keys (signed files) on your server and clients/ server have different versions then this could be a problem. Mod support for inbuilt Zeus was only added in version 1.46. Are you using an old version or creating Zeus by some other method than built in script method? Its worth mentioning that if you use a lot of mods then you should wait a few moments after assigning Zeus and before you bring up the Zeus interface. As for launch parameters I assume you mean server. I don't have lists only some examples. Currently we use FireDeamon to launch and maintain our servers and they share a mod installation folder. This is the current line for our server #2 under service - Parameters. -port=2202 -maxmem=3456 -config=A3_Coop_2.cfg -cfg=A3.cfg -name=OG -profiles=moddedserver -nologs -loadMissionToMemory -filePatching -mod=D:\SM\@CBA_A3;D:\SM\@CUPterCore;D:\SM\@CUPterMaps;D:\SM\@Bornholm;D:\SM\@RHSAFRF;D:\SM\@RHSUSAF;D:\SM\@RHSGREF;D:\SM\@RHSSAF;D:\SM\@ADR-97;D:\SM\VSMall_InOne;D:\SM\@ASR_AI3;D:\SM\@AVONfm12;D:\SM\@TFR;D:\SM\@AdvancedUrbanRappelling; -serverMod=D:\SM\@og_admin;D:\SM\@Advanced_Towing;D:\SM\@AdvancedRappelling Previous to using FiredDeamon we would create a text file in the game directory, paste launch parameters like below, save file then rename from ModedServer2.txt to ModedServer2.bat.

The name and location of you config files, OS platform, disk access, renaming of you mod folders (Note RHS mods do not like to be renamed), location of mods etc. will also affect this.

Thank you for such a detailed post. Our way to zeus at the moment is to login as admin and then use the following command: [player,true] spawn INS_Zeus_MP; Not sure if this is correct. The parameters i mean are the mission start up parameters so that when we cycle the server to restart the BMR Insurgency starts the mission with our chosen mission parameters automatically?

Quote Yes, you can edit default lobby parameter values in Hpp\Parameters.hpp. Each Class is a parameter. Change default[]= for a value listed in values[]=. Values[] are listed in order corresponding to texts[] order. Alternatively, you could define defaults in your server.cfg. Refer to Parameters.hpp for possible values. This template is relevant to version 1.46. class Missions { class Mission { template = "BMR_Insurgency_v1_46.Bornholm"; difficulty = "custom"; class Params { INS_p_time = 7; JIPweather = 0; ambRadioChatter = 0; ambCombSound = 0; Remove_grass_opt = 0; INS_environment = 1; Brighter_Nights = 1; INS_p_rev = 1; INS_p_rev_time = 300; INS_op_faction = 3; InfPb = 75; MecArmPb = 75; AI_SpawnDis = 350; Max_Act_Gzones = 35; DeAct_Gzone_delay = 2; EnableEnemyAir = 3; AirRespawnDelay = 2400; PatroleWPmode = 1; BTC_p_skill = 1; BTC_AI_skill = 5; CiviMobiles = 1; CiviFoot = 1; CivProbability = 100; SuicideBombers = 1; INS_play_op4 = 1; INS_logistics = 1; Fatigue_ability = 0; EOS_DAMAGE_MULTIPLIER = 2; INSpDamMul = 100; JigHeliExtraction = 1; INS_GasGrenadeMod = 1; limitPOV = 0; INS_Player_Markers = 1; max_ai_recruits = 10; AI_radio_volume = 0; INS_full_loadout = 1; EnemyAmmoCache = 1; Intel_Loc_Alpha = 1; Intel_Count = 4; DebugEnabled = 0; tky_perfmon = 0; }; }; }; With first method you can always change the parameters from the lobby at mission start. With second method you cannot. //Updated example for v1.48 class Missions { class Mission { template = "BMR_Insurgency_v1_48.Malden"; difficulty = "custom"; class Params { INS_p_time = 3; JIPweather = 0; ambRadioChatter = 0; ambCombSound = 0; Remove_grass_opt = 0; Brighter_Nights = 1; INS_p_rev = 1; INS_p_rev_time = 300; INS_op_faction = 3; InfPb = 75; MecArmPb = 75; AI_SpawnDis = 350; Max_Act_Gzones = 30; DeAct_Gzone_delay = 2; EnableEnemyAir = 3; AirRespawnDelay = 1800; PatroleWPmode = 1; BTC_p_skill = 1; BTC_AI_skill = 5; CiviMobiles = 1; CiviFoot = 1; CivProbability = 100; SuicideBombers = 1; INS_play_op4 = 1; INS_logistics = 1; Fatigue_ability = 0; EOS_DAMAGE_MULTIPLIER = 200; INSpDamMul = 100; JigHeliExtraction = 1; INS_GasGrenadeMod = 1; limitPOV = 0; INS_Player_Markers = 1; max_ai_recruits = 10; AI_radio_volume = 0; INS_full_loadout = 3; INS_IEDs = 2; INS_persistence = 2; EnemyAmmoCache = 1; Intel_Loc_Alpha = 1; Intel_Count = 4; DebugEnabled = 0; tky_perfmon = 0; }; }; }; forcedDifficulty = "custom"; Edited March 23, 2018 by Jigsor updated for version 1.48 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jigsor 176 Posted May 18, 2017 Since Jets DLC / Arma 3 game update 1.70 -showScriptErrors launch parameter and .rpt reveals error: 18:48:24 Error in expression <riable "BTK_CargoDrop_ActionAdded"; if (_BTK_CargoDrop_ActionAdded) exitWith {};> 18:48:24 Error position: <_BTK_CargoDrop_ActionAdded) exitWith {};> 18:48:24 Error Undefined variable in expression: _btk_cargodrop_actionadded 18:48:24 File C:\Users\MainUser\Documents\Arma 3 - Other Profiles\Jigsor\mpmissions\BMR_Insurgency_v1_46.Bornholm\BTK\Cargo Drop\InitAction.sqf, line 22 This error does not break anything. This code runs from a loop and on second loop attempt every thing is ok. However, it is annoying and could cause a stuter when parachute opens or you come to close proximity of a helicopter. The fix is to change line 21 in BTK\Cargo Drop\InitAction.sqf from this - _BTK_CargoDrop_ActionAdded = _Transporter getVariable "BTK_CargoDrop_ActionAdded"; to this - _BTK_CargoDrop_ActionAdded = _Transporter getVariable ["BTK_CargoDrop_ActionAdded", false]; GitHub source code updated with this edit May 28, 2017 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jigsor 176 Posted May 24, 2017 @SnakeDocc, I will look into a port for that map. @arniegames4u, which mods are you initializing by mission through lobby parameter Opposing Army/Mod Initialization ? Which mission? You must realize just because you launch mods on server and client does not mean they are initialized/loaded. Each choice in lobby parameter Opposing Army/Mod Initialization only initializes mods listed in that parameter. To initialize any mods outside of given choices or combinations requires you to modify the scripts or place the required addons in the editor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The missing vehicles are only US Tanks and APCs. I'm still having the same issue even when I launch with the out of the box RHS Insurgency ran on my local machine. All of our mods are aligned with the launch parameters. I'm sorry to be a bother. My community and I really appreciate your help on this. Thank you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jigsor 176 Posted May 25, 2017 @arniegames4u, I just verified and was able to reproduce no US Tanks and APCs available in Zeus. The required addons for these things "rhsusf_c_m113" and "rhsusf_c_m1a1" are in fact loaded by init.sqf. There is a problem with RHS configs relating to Zeus then. The problem should be reported to mod authors here. For work around you could spawn those vehicles with Vehicle Rewards through debug console local player spawn INS_Vehicle_Reward; Then spawn some infantry through zeus and put them in the vehicles.

chewpa 0 Posted June 1, 2017 Hi Jigsor.. first i would like to say thankyou for the awesome work on the bunch of maps .. its all our little group plays on my dedicated server. We lightly mod the maps to suit our needs. QQ.. we would like to add support (artillery,cas, evac, etc) to every player.. i have added the support modules etc etc in the editor and it always just allows one or maybe two to have support. I normally delete the starting units and players and add just around 8 players of our choice within one unit and then add the support modules. I assume it has something to do with a script or line of code only allowing certain members ie Jtac/team leader to have like the cas? Do i just make all players regardless of class jtac/teamleaders somehow in the attribrutes description or something? Any help appreciated Thanks again for all your work and making it public.

Jigsor 176 Posted June 2, 2017 Hello chewpa, Welcome to the forums and thanks for hosting. The mission does not use bis modules for support. Its entirely scripted and limited by class types. in INS_definitions.sqf under // Player class types. look at the end of those lines for descriptions of each list. Heli extraction is limited only to one player - the team leader named CAS1. It does not work any other way as mentioned before. If you want to add module supports then it should not interfere or have anything to do with existing scripted supports. I hope I understood and answered you question.

Thanks for the quick reply.. i think its the support modules etc being abit buggy, thought i would just ask anyway.. not 100% sure how everything works in the editor. P.S.

You have to be loged in as Admin and at mission start press parameters button in lobby to change settings. Using -autoInit parameter on server may restrict your ability to modify the parameters.

Jigsor 176 Posted June 23, 2017 21 hours ago, Normal Norm said: Would love to see this ported over to Malden :) Me too, So i tried to port it today and it appears 2d mp editor is completely removed with A3 update 1.72 (Malden). My porting tools relied heavily on Arma2.Net extensions to create a mission.sqm from my gridbuilder script. From there the new mission could be imported to 3D editor. This is a major wrench in new port development of BMR Insurgency. There was no mention of this in the changelog so they did not want us to know or it was a mistake. I'll need to redevelop my tools to work entirely from 3DEN. This might take a while. In the mean time you may petition BIS to revert the unannounced change on the feedback ticket I made here. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
