Espen Haugen (Firstyminator) 0 Posted December 27, 2018 Got : class Param_TimeOfDay set to 25 (Daytime) and class Param_TimeMultiplier set to 6 (4 Hour cycle) Still starts the server around 2pm, and takes around 20 minutes till night time. Very strange :O Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It default setting is to disable all other parameters and use the ones from the last session. When you change something, you need to set it to "Use below and save" and the next time you will have the same settings without touching the parameters. Also "Daytime" is a random start between 6 a.m. and 6 p.m. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

aussie battler 94 Posted February 24, 2019 Thanks for all the hard work that you put into this, love the mission. @NeoArmageddon Is there a way of kicking players back to the lobby if they have are dead and go AFK for a long time? Some players have complained that if someone goes AFK while dead, the mission won't reset. It could be fixed by ending the mission if all players are dead. I have been added in stuff to the mission, so maybe I have stuffed up the code & it already does this. Great work on the escape mission, having allot of fun on it. +++++EDIT++++++++ Never mind, I stuffed up the fn_briefing.sgf. Everything works well. Thanks again, this mission kicks ass. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hcpookie 3770 Posted March 5, 2019 Good evening! I'm porting some "vs" VME_PLA missions and appear to be making progress. Specifically, I'm taking a mission (I started with CUP USMC vs. CUP SLA) and attempting to replace CUP SLA with VME_PLA. Seems to be straight-forward enough that even I can understand it 🙂 ... I'm editing the UnitClasses.sqf file. A few questions: Are there any flag markers that need to be changed for the OPFOR/INDEP factions? I want to be sure they are using the VME PLA flags... As far as adding / porting a specific faction, is the UnitClasses.sqf the *only* file that needs to be edited? What's the best way to distribute? e.g. when I've reached a happy point where I think the mission is ready for prime time, do I need to upload it somewhere or send it to someone specific? Thanks for the great mission and the great comments within the config files! 😉 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
forte2718 11 Posted March 7, 2019 Hi @NeoArmageddon et al, I believe I have identified the cause of the "Daytime defaulting to 1AM" bug -- in fact, it should not just be happening "sometimes" but should be (and in reality appears to be) happening every time! I also believe that, as a consequence of this bug, "Nighttime" also defaults to 2AM and not any other time in the intended random period. In fn_initServer.sqf, the time logic appears to be correct. However, in init.sqf around line 70, there is additional time-setting logic that does not appear to have support for param values 25 and 26 the way that fn_initServer.sqf does. I believe what is happening is that init.sqf is running after fn_initServer.sqf, and then it is passing the raw value of Param_TimeOfDay as the hours argument to the setDate function. I strongly suspect that internally, setDate is taking the hours parameter mod 24 ... and 25 mod 24 = 1! Likewise, since this logic in init.sqf also lacks a check for a parameter value of 26 for the "Nighttime" setting, the logic should be using setDate to set the hour to 26 mod 24 = 2. Frankly I'm brand new to Arma scripting (I just happen to have a programming background and stumbled over this problem while setting up an Escape server, and got curious haha : ) -- I'm not sure whether it is more appropriate to remove the time-setting logic in init.sqf altogether, or to update it to handle param values 25 and 26. Since you are more familiar with the mission and scripting, I believe you should make that decision. But I wanted to at least report the root cause of this bug. I did try copying the param-25+26 logic from fn_initServer.sqf into init.sqf and repacked the PBO, and that DID appear to resolve the problem! Hope that helps! Also, thank you for making such an awesome mission in the first place! Keep up the great work! Cheers, Forte 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for the great mission and the great comments within the config files! 😉 Flags are defined at the top of the unitclasses.sqf. The units in the mission.sqm needs to be replaced aswell. But if you want to contribute your unitsclasses.sqf to the repository, you can skip that and just tell me the player classnames you intended. The rest is managed by the continuous integration server when building the mission. Upload the unitclasses.sqf somewhere and write @scruffy a PM about it containing the download link. 14 hours ago, forte2718 said: Hi @NeoArmageddon et al, I believe I have identified the cause of the "Daytime defaulting to 1AM" bug -- in fact, it should not just be happening "sometimes" but should be (and in reality appears to be) happening every time!

Also, thank you for making such an awesome mission in the first place! Keep up the great work! Argh! I couldn't see the wood for the trees there. You are absolutly right. There is some old code in the init.sqf I moved to the initServer function when I split all the mission bootstraping by their locallity into functions. Seems like I either forgot to remove it after copying it to the function or it got accidentally back in by a git rollback. Thank you so much for pointing this out! Should be fixed in latest build on Gitlab. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NeoArmageddon 958 Posted March 9, 2019 Also the message suggest that your server had trouble downloading some of the addons. If you used steam, there is a change the Terrains download is corrupted. Steam seems to have problems with large mods. Try to redownload here: http://cup-arma3.org/download Also I always suspect autoinit in the commandline may cause problems later on.

Inspecti 0 Posted March 9, 2019 Hi! I've been hosting this mission from a dedicated Linux box for a while now, and sometimes the game starts with an empty backpack and no guards outside. Restarting the mission helps, but usually it requires at least two or three restarts in order to work. In really persistent cases, restarting the whole server process solves the issue. There seems to be no consistent way of recreating this bug whatsoever, and both vanilla and running additional mods (CBA and Taskforce Radio) have this issue. My server hardware has also changed during this time but both machines ran Linux. Main map is Tanoa, although I think the bug occurs on all maps. Some of the troubleshooting steps I've tried so far: General reinstall/update mission file Made sure there's no mission rotation assigned in server.cfg The switch "-init=" isn't used during server launch Made sure the .pbo files are directly under /mpmissions After talking with Neo on Discord, renamed all of the .pbo -filenames to lowercase. I've understood that this problem is more Linux specific, but not all servers have it. Looking at the server logs, it seems that there's a lot of various error messages during mission start but I don't see a difference in the amount of errors between the buggy games and normal good spawns. Has anyone solved this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
