[SP] Manhattan

[Jona33 51]

Chdkz guerillas remain active in the northern regions of Chernarus-Razor team are sent to FOB Manhattan to help destroy them. 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
Requires: 
-RHS: USAF 
-RHS: AFRF 
-AiA TP/CUP terrains 

 

Sykes uses the M14 from the Marksmen DLC-therefore if you switch to his character you will have the pop-ups if you don't have the DLC. You can switch his rifle out with an SR-25 in the armoury if you desire.

General bug fixes 
-Some conversations fixed

Note: Unlike the original this is not designed for co-op play, I might look into making it but that's probably a lot of effort at this point.

V1.1 Released (05/11/2015) 
-Lagushina task fixed 
-ADDED REQUIREMENT: Slaughter Asset A2 Import by ElTyranos 
https://forums.bistudio.com/topic/181657-slaughter-asset-a2-import/ 
-Added civilian lynchings 
-Couple of misc fixes-typos etc. 
-Corrected a couple of bits of logic 
-RDS: Civilians is now an optional mod, if used civilians will wear mod uniforms and modded vehicles will appear 
-Added some ambient civilians around the place 

 

 

V1.0 
This is the classic ARMA II mission from Harvest Red brought into ARMA III. I've recreated the mission, using the original files as a guide, however many of the internals are new, designed to be more efficient, and easier for someone to modify if I decide to drop this project. A crucial component is the ease at which it can be switched to use different mods, I will be making a CUP version when they have all the appropriate components and I am looking at making a version for the VTN mod. 

Contains voice acting using the original ARMA II files. 

 

Modification of the mission

Since it's not my mission originally you're free to modify it as long as it falls within the constraints that the ARMA II data packages are released under (e.g. voice acting cannot be used in another game).

 

When it comes to the functions inside the mission

-fn_showOSD.sqf

-fn_kbMenu.sqf 

are tweaked versions of the BIS functions of the same names.

 

Feel free to use the functions in whatever but please give me credit for the originals.

Credit: 
Bohemia Interactive: for the original mission, the voice acting and releasing all their previous work to make endeavours like this possible. 

To Do: 
-Finish my Civilian Interaction System-some of the files are still in the mission but it is disabled. When re-enabled it will allow greater interaction with civilians, including the possibility of telling you about enemy movements. 
-Bug fixing 
-General tweaking 

Known issues: (may contain spoilers) 
-General AI driving, sometimes AI will inexplicably become stuck on thin air. I've tried to minimise these but most of them shouldn't affect your gameplay too much. 
-Father Fyodor often gets stuck in Gorka when following you. To reset his position type in the debug console 
JNA_Fyodor setPos (getPos player) 
and press Local Exec. 
-Truck bringing the engineers to Gorka if you report the cache sometimes gets stuck or doesn't move. This may prevent the task being ticked off but will be considered as done and you can continue the mission

Nice!I have been hoping for a remake of A2's campaign in A3.Are you doing more or is this a one off?

[IndeedPete 1038]

Need to try this, loved the original!

[spotter001 82]

It works for several minutes but then crashes. Maybe due to my pc i don't know.

[corporal_lib[br] 396]

How can we apprehend Lagushina? (nice use of RHS Zeeleax female face... but should have used the bodies, thou they´re all dressed on military uniforms ;) Ohh and you could use Reyhards civilian pack, so the chernarussian civilians could wear slavic clothes, not mediterrans ;)

 

With ACE I can subdue her and handcuff and escort, but even if I take her to manhattan base the task doesn´t completes.... I recall on the original mission a LAV would come to take her, but I haven´t found an action or radio command to request a prisioner transport =P

 

Loved the way all dialogs are included, and I hope you can use the mod i´ve pointed out on steam (A2 Slaughter pack) so we can have proper mass graves when investigating the chedaki ethnic cleansing!

 

Keep up the great work and port more missions, yay!

 

cheers!

[sig 10]

Brilliant conversion! I hope you make the rest of the campaign missions. Looks far better than the original.

[Jona33 51]

Thanks for the feedback everyone!

Cheers for the recommendation about the Civilians, for me it's a trade off between as few mods as possible and still having the content. I think what I'll do is make the RDS civilians optional, so if it's activated they'll use those vehicles and uniforms. 

 

As for Lagushina the basic condition is to be near her, out of a vehicle and for her to be travelling slowly. However I have just noticed a missing link in the FSM which could very well be buggering it. When the condition is fulfilled you'll have a conversation with her, then be tasked to take her to an LZ for the CDF to come pick her up. 

 

As for porting other missions in the campaign, I'm thinking I might try and do Bitter Chill or Razor Two, but given my tendency to start something then drop it and pick it up later (I've been working on Manhattan for months-on and off) it could be a while.

You might want to team up with forums member Undeceived as he's doing a complete port of the campaign.

HE IS?!WELL I NEED TO GO ANNOY HIM THEN ;)

I agree here-the Slaughter pack has great,grim assets-mass graves,hanging bodies etc- and is a very small download(21MB)/It really adds to these type of missions.Keep it up mate!

Yup: https://forums.bistudio.com/topic/182815-a2c-arma-2-cutscene-animations-in-arma-3/?p=2931662

 

I have an animation that seems not to be included in your pack, IP:

 

c4coming2cdf_boleslavsky

 

Is an update planned in which it could be included?

 

Maybe I will find more (I began converting an Arma 2 campaign today).

[Jona33 51]

Update released (V1.1)! Change log is in the first post.

[ineptaphid 6413]

good to see this updated.You did a really,REALLY good job on it! i have wanted to replay the A2 campaign in A3 and you have done a great job so far.Are we going to see more?

[corporal_lib[br] 396]

Awesome update! I can now arrest Lagushina and many civilians are dressed properly... 3 issues thou:

 

A-) I can´t trigger the dialog with Galinka and the doctor Soja... but I´ve triggered the message they´re both executed, thou Galinka is still on the same spot, but now she flees the scene when I come nearer and no dialog is triggered... I bet cus she´s dead... but not quite?

 

B-) Galinka, Valeria, Father Feodor, all the "talking" NPCs are still on mediterranean clothes (only ambient/"mute" NPCs have RDS civies clothes)

 

C-) I can´t find the hanged Soja, he should be on the woods around Kranostav, but I couldn´t spot his corpse =P (and I´m using obviosly the A2 slaughter pack... arma1.54 stable)

 

But those are small issues, this mission is an awesome port, and I really hope to see more from A2 campaigns down the line ;D

 

Cheers!

Excellent! :D

 

EDIT: You know that Team Razor is available in the CUP_units-pack, right?  :wub:

Yes I do. I think CUPs got everything I need, so this weekend I'll polish off any last bugs, then try and make the CUP port. Aside from the actual base at Manhattan, nearly everything is spawned by script-inefficient but it makes classname changes dead simple. I'll need to make a new redress function for each faction, if the CDF are already included it will be fine, if not I might improvise with the AAF and setObjectTexture for a bit.

[virtualvikingx 19]

How's the update coming along?

nice, I will check this out.

[Jona33 51]

Sorry, been completely snowed under recently. I've got a week off next week, I'll bring it into the EDEN editor and properly go through it. CUPs definitely got enough stuff (by messing around a touch so the CDF will use SLA kit and the Chedaki will use NAPA stuff).

[Jona33 51]

1st Post is updated with V1.2 (Still RHS only). Changelog is there.

 

The CUP version is coming along quite nicely, it's almost done but I get fairly regular crashes when using CUP vehicles that I'm trying to pin down (so I can't quite finish it). Additionally I'll have a look for a standalone female mod as CUP doesn't have any yet.

Such as IdentiZee? http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=26169(with it, you can even use RHS_FemaleENG voices)

 

It is standalone cus it does requires other mods, thou works better with RHS =)

 

Can´t play without (and have done lotsa missions with it)... and Thanks for the update, love this misison (or any A2 campaign recreation)

 

cheers!

[ineptaphid 6413]

Great to see you return to this! Thanks for the update. Do you plan to do more of Arma 2's missions?

[Jona33 51]

Can't quite decide, I've got a couple of missions that are almost done (not ARMA II ones but set in Chernarus), after that then maybe. I'll be honest I've got a habit of starting stuff, then not finishing it so no promises. I'd like to do bitter chill or Razor Two I think.

[dakaodo 52]

Hi, Jona33! I'm really digging your Manhattan mission in its current form, and the possible/eventual changes you guys have discussed sound great. I only just started the mission, but this is what I've seen and thought of Arma for years, before I plunked down for Arma 3 last year. Never played before. So I'm very appreciative of being able to experience a part of Arma 2, but in Arma 3. So far, the mission feels like exactly like what I want my Arma experience to be. The slower initial pacing, investigations, etc. are setting a good mood of tension without actual violence yet.

 

Sandbox is a lot of fun (I've got nearly 1300 hrs in Arma 3, almost all in editor, self-made SP missions, and a couple of SP or MP-as-SP missions; when that gets boring, maybe I'll try actual MP), but well-made missions give it an atmosphere that I can't readily make by myself or for myself. :D Thank you, and no rush on any of your work -- keep it enjoyable!
