Hey R3vo,

i noticed a problem with your mod.

As soon as I go into the intel menu the grass on the map disappears and i cant seem to be able to bring it back.

I did not tuch the disable grass option at all.

It disabled itself automatically.

Hope u can figure this out.

Weird never had that issue maybe it was some BIS update are you on DEV?

[R3vo 2652]

Added: An engine implementation of the Stance attribute

 

 

Guess my stance attribute fix was in vain :D

 

 

 

Too fix the issue with the caused by the Visual Settings I decided to overhaul the attribute a bit. View distances can now be set from 1000 m to 5000m, if you think that's not enough, please let me know.

No im not on DEV i am on stable.

It works fine with 1.5 but with 1.5.7 the grass magically disapears as soon as u change something on the intel tab.

But R3vo seems to have found the issue ;D

Thanks for the test update Revo. I've seen some discussion of ambient animations on the thread, but I'm not sure what this fix addresses :

 

ambient animation should now work in mp again as expected (fingers crossed)

 

Issues I notice with ambient animations in SP and MP :
- They are "permanent", in that AI can't leave the animation loop dynamically when shot at or hears combat for example. (I assume this is expected and part of vanilla arma)
- Once placed in the editor, you can't move the unit until you remove the animation.

Issues I notice with ambient animations combat in SP and MP :
- If your AI squad mates are given a combat animation, you can't order them out of it.

Or is your fix something else entirely?

Cheers!

I actually removed the ambient animations from all of my long-term persistent MP missions for the reasons you described. It's a little immersion killing when they can't defend themselves.

I still love them for short SP missions though (when I know for certain they won't come under any kind of fire).

R3vo, nice changelog buddy. This mod is essential for mission makers and I thank you for making it a much more pleasant experience. Is there any tutorial handy for the hostage rescue function? For example, is setcaptive applied and unapplied automatically? Just wondering if this eliminates the need for adding anything to the hostage init and also having add scripts to triggers to free them, or needing to name the unit, etc and what the process of setting this up would look like.

That is known and cannot be fixed until BIS puts some work in the vanilla functions

The combat animations are only canclled when the unit detects danger or gets damaged, there is no way without scripting to cancel the animation

Or is your fix something else entirely?

I would personally love to see a better system for animations and actually hoped that the COOP campaign would improve the ambient animations. The fact that BIS didn't use ambient animations in their new campaign, shows me that they neglected the system however.

I still love them for short SP missions though (when I know for certain they won't come under any kind of fire).

The unit has to be set to captive via the attribute which comes with my mod. Whether the unti is hostage or has already been freed can be checked with

unitVarName getVariable [''Enh_is_hostage'',true]'

When true, unit is still hostage, when false unit was freed. The variable is published over the network, therefore available for all clients.

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks again for all the questions and general interest, you guys are what keeps me and this mod going. ;)

[HeroesandvillainsOS 1504]

Thanks for the breakdown, R3vo. I'm not gonna lie, your explanation is a little too advanced for my scripting skill (which is zero :) ).

In the changelog you mentioned the radius for freeing the hostage being changed to 2 meters. I'm not sure what that means. Does 3den Enhanced provide a method of doing this without the need to make my own trigger? Normally, without your mod, I'd place a trigger around the hostage manually and reverse setcaptive true on trigger activation (and also add code to have him join my squad, etc).

Maybe I'm just misunderstanding what your hostage feature does?

I'm not asking you to make one of your fancy GIF's showing me how (though I won't say no if you do lol). I'm just really unsure how to begin using this feature or even if I'm understanding exactly what it's designed to do.

Is it just a setcaptive check box on the unit and nothing more?

[R3vo 2652]

Gimme a few minutes I'll make a quick video.

 

No video this evening. Found another bug....

I only edit missions, I don't mod like you, and I have friends who ask me why I "work" on making Arma content...

Hope you keep finding an answer to that question! Cause your modding makes my editing much easier :)

Thanks for working on ambient animations R3vo,  i know they aren't a game critical feature but really happy  you have continued to work on it to get it functioning again. Cant wait to test.

hi 

 

Love this mod, its just beautiful and saves alot of time

 

In the copy loadout tool it would be wonderful to just save one or several aspects of the loadout and be able to copy across example

 

just uniforms or weapons , items or vest.

 

this I think would save so much time and allow for more options  instead of having to go into arsenal

 

 

just asking, but as it is now this mod is a must have

 

Keep the good work up

 

cant wait to see what you add next

Hey Revo can you upload your mod to Github? It makes updating Mods via Script easier

This mod had been on GitHub for several month, however, the extra time I had to spend on keeping it up-to-date was not worth it in the end.

Is there a specific format for reporting bugs? I looked through the OP and couldn't find one in particular. Thanks in advance.

Nope, just post what think..

 

 

 

For all those of you who had problems with the Sit animations e.g, characters would sink into the ground after preview. Please try if enabling the simulation of the chairs solves this issue for you.

Awesome. I had noticed that when your mod was used to make a mission, the on-load mission name wouldn't work. EX: If you had set the mission name to CO10 Night Ops, it wouldn't show that name in mission selection in multiplayer. If you need more information, let me know. Not exactly sure what you would need from me to help. Thanks!

Thank for the report. Some user have reported that in the past and the workaround is it to binarize the mission.sqm file. (The option is either in the "General" section or "Preferences)

[Devastator_cm 434]

A stupid question maybe but who should have this mod installed and running? All players or just server?
