Hi,

 

first for sharing,

 

Was going to try but got a message telling TFAR is needed ?

[davidoss 552]

Nope but you can still use TFR.

[kendar 65]

Nope but you can still use TFR.

 

I don't use TFAr as i play SP, but can't open the mission in the editor, tells TFAR is missing.

[davidoss 552]

Sorry i mist that. Link updated.

[kendar 65]

Thanks, will try later so ;)

 

 

[EDIT] Tried in single player and it's a blast !!!!!

 

Seriously thank you for this, it's very cool and i saw no bug.

 

It was a real war for one town, with reinforcement by air for the ennemy and a real good number of bad surprise for my team of AI.

 

10/10, and all my grateful joy :)

[davidoss 552]

Well Thanks. I am glad that someone like it. It cost me lots of work.

Enjoy

[DieselJC 196]

Going to try this out..thanks for the release.

Been working on this in editor and I don't see anyway to put this into "Veteran Mode"..getting rid of the crosshairs and not seeing enemy movements.

Am I missing something?

[davidoss 552]

Any mission launched in SP, his difficulty settings are gained from user profile.

Change your profile settings to achieve what you need.

In MP you can set difficulty setup from difficulty preset.

Well, i tried the port to other maps, and it works like a charm...

 

My god, it's jewel and i love it very much, once again thank you for this.

 

On side note, it would be great to see this adapt to others moded civilian and/or troops (Blu and opfor), is there a way to do this simply ?

[kremator 1065]

Can't play it ... TFAR required :(

[kendar 65]

This was corrected by the last upload by davidoss, try redownload it perhaps ?

[davidoss 552]

Update.

Changes:

Removed  vehicle repair script due to author demand.

 

Jacmac's  Generic Vehicle Service used instead.

 

I could write any for my proposes but why if there so many already created by our community..

Got it thanks...so far have enjoyed it..great work and thanks for the release!

[kendar 65]

the more i play this, the more i like it for quick battle.

 

Only thing that i would love to change is the fact that there's no AA trooper on recruit, this is hard when there is one helicopter on combat zone...

[kendar 65]

Little "bug" i wish to point.

 

The crate we recieve on supply call is seen as an "ennemy" for for task to succeed, so if supply is called, i'm forced to put it in a vehicle to be granted succeed mission.

[froggyluv 2136]

 Maybe you could make the Helo transport more straightforward -as it is its tricky to know when to ask for the transport -before or after your men are loaded into the Huron. I asked before all my men where in and it locked me into the 'Where do you want to go action'. Also have had the helo just refuse to move as I dont get the option of picking where anymore -only the option to pick 1.Huron, so that pretty much asked for a restart.

[kendar 65]

It's BIS heli transport, not due to the mission.

 

You should wait all your mens are in and then only go into the helo.

Not sure why someone else hasn't noted this, but there are some errors cropping up. First is a local variable _cfg_map_pos is wanting to be used in a different script (briefing). I changed it to cfg_map_pos and it solves the issue.

 

There are also numerous errors that occur because initPlayerLocal fires before init.sqf does. There are some calls being made that I don't implicitly know the order of, so I put the code from initPlayerLocal into init.sqf prior to (isServer) section, and now there are no issues at all.

 

It is also worth noting that if you use this as a template for a different world, that in the init.sqf file, there is a while {true} loop in the (isServer) section, so any custom code you wish to run needs to be prior to this or in an exec/call.

 

These are not major issues by any means, and I've had a good time so far on this mission. Good job. 

 

EDIT: Actually I see that there are better fixes. 

 

In globalfnc.sqf I add this at the bottom

bGlobalFncFinished = true;

 

In init.sqf I modify this

[] call compile preprocessfile "battlezone\global\globalfnc.sqf";

to be this

if (isNil "bGlobalFncFinished") then {[] call compile preprocessfile "battlezone\global\globalfnc.sqf";};

 

Also in init.sqf I find this line

missionNamespace setVariable ["cfg_map_pos", _cfg_map_pos, true];

and add this after it

publicVariable "cfg_map_pos";

 

Finally in initPlayerLocal.sqf, once inside the if (hasInterface) brackets, I also add

if (isNil "bGlobalFncFinished") then {[] call compile preprocessfile "battlezone\global\globalfnc.sqf";};

 

and a few lines later, I find this

[] execVM "battlezone\scripts\briefing.sqf";

 

and add a line, like this

waitUntil {sleep 0.1; !(isNil "cfg_map_pos")};

[] execVM "battlezone\scripts\briefing.sqf";

 

That seems to fix the issues on dedicated as well as hosted, so far anyway. Its all about how each file executes in order, and whether variables exist or not, especially on dedicated.

[kendar 65]

Thanks, tried it and love it even more.

 

Is there an easy  way to change opfor faction ?

 

It would be nice.

[davidoss 552]

Not so easy you need to edit whole thing.

Maybe i will implement  some selectable enemy faction  future  later

I gave this scenario a try last night after work in SP, and I thoroughly enjoyed it! Only problem I really had was that the supports didn't seem to work at all. Is this a BIS problem (I've come to understand it's quite a common issue for some) or is it because I played it in singleplayer?

[davidoss 552]

Bis support works well in MP or SP. We had never problem with that.

[Jnr4817 215]

Played around some today and love it. I am a total noob to mission making.

 

Several questions:

 

Is there anyway to conduct a halo mission from helo (CH-47, BlackHawk) or fixed wing aircraft (C-130, Osprey)?

 

Do i have to use the farooq revive system or can I stick with ACE and ACE medical?

 

Can this map support additional mods or addons; like ACE, CUP, MELB, RHS, UNSUNG etc?

 

Thank you so much for answering.
