L.E.A.P -- HALO / ParaJump Operations

[Von Quest 1163]

LOW and  EXTREME  ALTITUDE  PARAJUMPS
by  Richard Von Quest

VERSION:  beta v0.6.0
UPDATED:  04 June 2021

DONATE:   Support Project

 

// INTRODUCTION:
This is the Stand-Alone Module of my HALO/PARA Infiltration System from my SpookWarCom Project. This Module will allow the player to setup transport and perform a combat parajump into any area of the map you desire. Both low-altitude parajumps, and high-altitude HALO jumps are supported. For the more extreme HALO jumps, special equipment is needed to survive the harsh and dangerous environment of the low-oxygen, sub-zero atmosphere.

 

I must stress this is a fictional project. Some creative liberties are taken for better gameplay and immersion. Do not expect a 1:1 simulation of a true military freefall operation. This is a GAME.

 

NOTE:  This is a complete overhaul and full re-write of the last versions. Numerous features and old options have been temporally removed to speed up this release. They will be added back in later.

Thank the arma gods! today is a good day :P

[keIIy 60]

It has arrived!  :)

[delta3242 399]

Awesome, can't wait to use this!

[KENNETH03 13]

AWESOME!  but how configure the AR3(ARR), ASTRA-M (EAAD), Sentinel MK2035,Those item work or NOT

 

IDEA! man, on MODULES  menu add the 130 option,C- 130 turbines on or off, more REAL! Awesome man :notworthy:  :notworthy:  :notworthy:

[Von Quest 1163]

Thanks guys!
So no bugs or issues then? I had zero errors in latest testing. *fingers crossed*

Hope all likes the new XC-130. I fucking love it. Will fix the wheels/brakes later.

@KENNETH03
Read the Docs (English?). To access your LEAP Main Menu [shift] [h]

Not everything is setup yet. To set the AR3, it's in the Menu when you
open it (as stated above), set the pressure setting you want (in docs).

The ASTRA is automatic. It arms when the plane de-pressurzes (HALO ONLY).

The Sentinel is also automatic. Just make sure all is in the required slot.

ALL EQUIPMENT MUST be in its assigned equipment SLOT (gps, compass, radio, etc).


@everyone
And don't forget to place the MA-2 POA Bottle is INSIDE the Re-breather Rig.

Nice one Master Chief, is the AI jumping with you issue sorted? or is this still MP/Solo jumping for now?

[Von Quest 1163]

The A.I. support was suspended for this release. They will be added back in for the next update. And the new plane has Cargo Seating, so I should be able to even have them actually in the plane with you.

I will have your babies if you get this working!! :D

Amazing! Thank You!!!!

[khaosmatical 237]

This isn't a dedicated server question just a multiplayer in general one.

Is the problem of players appearing in different planes still present?

*edit*

Also seems using the 'Altimeter On/Off' gave me a script error as well as accidentally equipping the P.O.A bottle in the NVG slot. Goggle overlay also seems to stay on even when rebreather and helmet are removed.

[Von Quest 1163]

Yes. Sorry. But..... I found a temporary kinda solution. We had WAY better luck if the client PC set the Flight Plan and went first.

[khaosmatical 237]

Had another really strange event on singleplayer.

Jumped out of the plane and noticed another plane static in the air off in the distance so way. Took some photo's for comparison.

[Von Quest 1163]

Wow. Really? That was SP? What the heck. Did you jump more than once?

Thanks for the heads-up if that's the case. Okay, I'm off to bed. I'll check in later...

Out.

[pirkleawesome 8]

I had an issue with the mask overlay not going away when I landed (I took everything off after I landed just to make sure). I was testing in Eden editor.

[MANTIA 55]

Does this version work on a dedicated server as a MP mission?

Sorry for the late reply. No I only jumped once.

[kklownboy 43]

...Even with out a chute.

Hmmm Using the Menu(key bound) I can cut my chute anytime*

 

I cant "fly"/ move until a certain height(8000ft+?).  Was hoping to move  when out at 33,000ft+

 

Wished the Plane actually was moving on the map.

 

When in the poor health state (like that affect, it should be the ACE drug effect) , it never ends. For persistent missions (days...) would you not recover? Some?

 

 

Would like to be able to sync real SAMs to the reported SAMs.

 

 

* with or with out a chute, over and over you can "cut chute".

 

 

Great mod, big fan of your stuff. (Incoming mission is most played, add to by Robalo)

Doh! Thanks. Will look into it. Will fix for next upgrade.

I see a couple of you had this.... Frick! We also had this issue once in testing. Was hoping it was a fluke. Damn it. *its always something*

No.

Thanks. Good catch. I'll fix for next release.

Should be able to move out "track / fly" immediately. Forward momentum is slow. Try again.

 

Wished the Plane actually was moving on the map.

Game Engine limitation. I have a few experimental ideas, but not worth perusing at this time.

 

When in the poor health state (like that affect, it should be the ACE drug effect) , it never ends. For persistent missions (days...) would you not recover? Some?

I'll have to look into it maybe. Right now, I think it works great. And it does, indeed end. But all the Effects, and Timings are all random.

There are 4 Stages. Onset, Getting Sick, Duration, and Recovery. Each is random. You may be done with the mission even before you

start to feel ill. Or it could end up being sick for a few hours. Still WIP, and will likely be expanded upon.

 

Would like to be able to sync real SAMs to the reported SAMs.

Why? We only have small MANPADS in the game. And they are WAY too accurate.

I have some unfinished SAMs Modeled that are coming. If I ever get that far. I'm open to ideas.

 

* with or with out a chute, over and over you can "cut chute".

...on the board. Could have swore I looked into that already.

This is definitely not game breaking, but when I go into the VQI menu via SHIFT + H, I select the attach smoke and/or light on boot option and it says "unattachable" even when I have one in my inventory. Am I doing something wrong?

[Von Quest 1163]

Negative. Just haven't updated those for this release. Will be fixed in the next. My apologies.

 

 

 

 

@everyone

And to fix the Helmet Overlay Bug (if you get it), and if you have access to the Debug Console,

try executing this if it happens:   222 cutText ["","PLAIN"];    Should clear that graphic layer. ;)

[Cpl Tyler 35]

Hey Von Quest, I have a question. I use SSPCM in Singleplayer and I'm wondering if this works in Zeus.
