OPEX

[Gemini 359]

In vanilla versions of OPEX, some features linked to additionnal items can't work properly so they are automatically disabled:

• Primary needs (because eating, drinking, sleeping requires some extra objects)
• Arrest function (because arresting people requires some cable ties)
• Task where you need to install a spy microphone (because a microphone is required)
• Etc...

Also, vanilla versions are using vanilla content (uniforms, weapons, vehicles...) so the global atmosphere may be different from the original one.

 

R3F's AiComTarget script is automatically disabled if bCombat or ACE mods are detected. I didn't know VComAI mod but I'll add a command line in the next update so R3F's AiComTarget script will be disabled too in case VComAI is detected.

 

And yes, ACE medical system should only be enabled if the ace_medical pbo is detected.

 

Thank you for your feedback :)

Hi, I'm having a problem: Running the mission on a dedicated server, I can not spawn units at the delivery point?

I don't get an error in game, they just don't appear.

Here is a relevant piece of the log from the *client*, there is no message in the server log when I try to order units. Ordering vehicles does work.

When an ai squad mate is kia how do i deal with the body? Do I take it somewhere? Because it feels unnatural just leaving it on the ground back at the base camp.

[Gemini 359]

You can bring him back to the medical center. Maybe I'll think about adding a function to bury dead bodies in a near future.

[Guillaume Massé 10]

Hi Gemini,
I encounter some compatibility issue with c2. My team members are sometime not visible in the c2 command interface (tablet or map). Your mod is great but in single and without smart ai management it’s too difficult.
Do you already hear about this issue?

Hi Guillaume, sorry about this issue. I don't know how C2 is working, I'll try to take a look on it.

[Guillaume Massé 10]

Hi Guillaume, sorry about this issue. I don't know how C2 is working, I'll try to take a look on it.

Thanks, if you Play as singleplayer, c2 is a must to have, you are able to manage your team with detail formation, ask you guy to launch Grenade, rocket, manage heli pickup and roping, ..

Hellow. Im using vanilla version on Lithium map and get such issue: when I take mission "kill officers" vehicels in objective area spawn in each other and blow up, are there any way to fix it ? Aswell are there any way to edit (decrease) number of spawned enemies ? Thanks.

Hi,

 I have a little problem with my opex on my nitrado server, All the ia on patrol are Americans. but r3f works because me and my friends are French.

I'm a little lost.

I can select a french package at the armory ,but inside the box, only American weapons.

the vehicles are also all American.

[Gemini 359]

@Guillaume Massé

I tried OPEX with C2 and even if I didn't play many hours it seems that the mod was working as intended. My teammates were properly displayed on the C2 tablet and on the radial menu. Anyway it would be hard to investigate deeper on that because this mod seems to be complex and I don't see anything in OPEX that would break it. The group system used in OPEX is quite basic and only uses simple ArmA commands.

 

@baton1990

It shouldn't, may it may happens sometimes if the randomly selected location is too small. Did you try to cancel the task and to restart it ? It should be ok with a different location.

The global enemy amount is random, it's totally volunteer. I don't like at all missions that are based on player amount because it's not the way I imagine war. But you can still edit the mission to limit and set parameters as you want.

 

@rerem2

If you have selected the "Complete" edition from the startup menu then all friendly AIs should be French. Maybe R3F is not properly installed on the server: player units are local to players computers whereas AI units and empty vehicles are local to the server.

I can only suggest to check again the server installation. If the problem is still there, please send me the .rpt file of the server.

 

@all the community

Thank you very much for all your feedbacks. I apologize about the late replies but time is going too fast.

In order to avoid possible bugs with custom missions, please ensure that the game and all mods you are using are properly installed and up-to-date.

If you encounter bugs, please report them with many details as possible (map, location, etc...). In some case (e.g.: flying vehicles...) please attach some screenshots. The more details you provide, the more I would be able to investigate and try to fix these bugs.

 

Anyway, please note that OPEX has been updated to version 1.238.

 

Changelog:

• New: OPX is now translated in Russian (big thanks to Meh44 !)
• Fixed: suspects loaded in vehicle should now not be able to disembark by themselves anymore
• Fixed: handguns are now properly loaded again in weapon crates
• Fixed: ordering drone at the delivery center is working properly again
• Fixed: various other minor things

[nikssims 12]

The new option to play without any mods is really great! Also I was wondering if it would be possible to have a version that changes NATO with OPFOR, so that it would be possible to simulate a scenario where peacekeeping is done by Opfor?

@nikssims

Thank you for your feedback. Well, it's not in my plans at this time but you can edit the files situated into the "settings" folder of the mission.

 

@jus61

Thanks for your feedback too. It seems that some mods are not properly detected by the game. Did you try some other custom missions on your server that would use on or several of these mods to see if the issue still happens ?

[Gemini 359]

New small update to version 1.239.

 

Changelog:

• New: OPEX now supports Jets and Tanks DLCs
• Fixed: vehicle music receiver is now working properly again
• Fixed: storage crates in the armory are not locked anymore
• Optimized: there should be less unexpected explosions due to the dynamical civilian vehicle spawn script

[Ronin2704 2]

Hi Gemini

 

I specifically created and account on this Forum, just so that I may congratulate and thank you on a very awesome, amazing and well planned job.

your work is inspiring and you have re-ignited a flame for Arma that i haven't felt since OFP and Arma 1.

thanks again GEMINI.

 

Can't wait for your next update or release.  

[Tobur 37]

Hi, is there any way to scale (down) the number of hostile units? I know it's one of the features of the mission not to know how strong the enemy is, but for my small group of 5 players it's sometimes too hard to run against 20+ units ;) And thanks for this awesome sandbox

[Gemini 359]

@Ronin2704

Thank you very much for your feedback, I really appreciate !

 

@Tobur

As you said, the randomness of enemy amount is desired. But you can edit the mission by yourself to modify some parameters. For example, you can reduce the amount of maximum enemy patrols by editing the "scripts\Gemini\fnc_ambientEnemyPatrols.sqf" file:

// DEFINING MAX AMBIENT PATROLS (DEPENDS ON HOW MANY HUMAN PLAYERS ARE CONNECTED)
	if ((count (allPlayers - entities "HeadlessClient_F")) <= 5) then {_maxPatrols = 3};
	if (((count (allPlayers - entities "HeadlessClient_F")) > 5) && ((count (allPlayers - entities "HeadlessClient_F")) <= 10)) then {_maxPatrols = 5};
	if ((count (allPlayers - entities "HeadlessClient_F")) > 10) then {_maxPatrols = 8};

Simply reduce the three _maxPatrols variables.

 

Other paramaters (enemy IEDs, ambushes etc...) are built the same way.

[Gemini 359]

@Tobur

I felt your pain, this information should be interesting for you 

 

OPEX has been updated to version 1.24.

 

Changelog:

• Added: a virtual garage is now available in the delivery area (requires to be enabled at startup in the mission settings) - thanks to Tonic for his Virtual Vehicle Spawner (VVS) script
• Added: a "low" parameter is now available for the ambient features
• Fixed: the task "17 - Deliver humanitarian supplies" should not automatically failed anymore
• Fixed: there shouldn't be unexpected deletion anymore of friendly gear, vehicles or drones
• Fixed: earplugs and rangefinders are now available again into the support crate (for ACE users)
• Fixed: binoculars are now available again into the support crate (for non ACE users)
• Fixed: the correct language is now properly selected for civilians on Tanoa
• Tweaked: the density and frequency by default of ambient functions have been adjusted
• Tweked: the auto-cleaning function has been entirely rebuilt for better performances and results
• Removed: the Russian translation has been temporarily removed because it was causing some issues for other languages

I hope you'll like it !

[Tobur 37]

Thanks for the update, will have a look. Just starting it I saw a difference from the previous version: in the mission settings screen at start you can change the equipment from realistic to "basic" (?). Well in the new version the second option next to realistic is blank. Don't know if this has an impact....

[Gemini 359]

Grrr sorry I fix it immediately. Thanks for the feedback.

 

Edit :

 

OPEX has been updated to version 1.241.

Changelog:

• Fixed: both parameters for equipment settings are now displayed properly in the settings screen

 

[Psychosocial 4]

Hi Gemini, could you lay out the version 1.239, because as in the version 1.24 deleted russian translation. Thanks.

Sorry for my bad english.

 

[Gemini 359]

Hi Psychosocial,

 

Unfortunatley I had to remove the Russian translation because the man who made the translation did some mistakes in the stringtable.xml file that it was not possible to fix by myself. I don't know if he will be able and motivated to do it again.

[stlassen 16]

Hi,

 

I just updated this mission after not having played it for a long while, but...

 

To make it easy on me, I would start light.

I recruited a squad of Reco.

I went to the TOC to get a mission.

I selected a mission to deliver humanitarian supplies.

Within 1 minute (not sure how long after, but very quickly) the mission failed and I got penalized 1000 credits. I didn't even get to the supplies at HQ before that happened. I didn't even get a chance to fail, I just did.

I did it a few more times, just to be sure. On my fourth attempt, it didn't fail... At least not the 5 minutes I let it run.

 

WTF ???  What's up with that? 

 

Playing it in SP mode on KUNDUZ map.
