those mines are not placed by the mission scripts. I'm not very familiar with arma arty but maybe those are arty mines?

 

Edit: I'm actually fixing this so no mines are fired.....

who's shooting at ghost? your tank?

 

i have to ask stupid question, you don't use teleporting right?

no mines

[kremator 1065]

Nope teleporting not used.  I have seen a spray of mines being used before, however they are never picked up as mines (no red icon) but DEADLY to all !

I've seen AA vehicles fire at the ghosts, arty try to bombard it (but they are always too close!), and the AFV (in the last picture).  Interestingly, my vehicle gunners never target it !

Seen more troops poof on death again, but also empty emplacements (that you've previously cleared) jump into life again.

I need to do something for this as well. thx for reporting! 🙂

 

Edit: tried without mods yet? and revive

question

[kremator 1065]

Retested today without ANY mods (only fow) on server and client.....  still ghost firing.  Here are two tanks firing at different buildings !

 

 

Have also confirmed that there is no exp coming to the player.  I stay a private no matter how many I kill.

ok strange. But I wrote a small script so that if you are still testing maybe you could run the script in debug console once you see them shooting at ghosts again?

 

Here's the script:

 

 diag_log "<<< DUMPING TARGETS >>>";
 
{


_targets = _x nearTargets 250;

diag_log format["Dump Targets: %1 - %2 -- %3", _x, side _x,count _targets];

{

 _x params ["","_targetType","_targetSide","","_target"];
 
 diag_log format [">> %1 - %2 - %3",  _target, _targetSide,_targetType];
 
} foreach _targets;

} foreach allunits;

 

After running the script if you can post your .rpt file it might help to solve this

thx, I know. fixed it already for next release

[kremator 1065]

Ok ... ghost target RPT (also contains a bug at start)...

https://drive.google.com/open?id=1Z_E_LoUJUDmaIDv38ZmTAZv0zMtZg7Gq

 

It was a Hunter on my side firing into the ground repeatedly ... there WAS an emplacement ahead of it ... but 50m or so!  Possible that there is a hidden troop buried underground ?

 

Bizarrely now, a friendly grenadier has been firing nades at exactly where the hunter WAS sitting (from about 100m away!)

 

Next ghost ... a friendly recon demo specialist is firing his rifle and pistol at a wall ... here is the RPT snip

More ghosts !

[gc8 977]

thx @kremator I have been running some tests to find the ghosts shooters but with no luck yet

I wrote another script that may fix/end the ghost shooting once it happens

 

the script:

 

 

v = vehicles select { getposATL _x # 2 < -0.3 && typeof _x != "Land_Pallet_F" }; 

{  

diag_log format["veh underground %1 %2", _x, count (crew _x)]; 

deletevehicle _x;

} foreach v;

 

 

the script deletes underground vehicles so this might be the fix

 

it will also print into the .rpt if anything is found underground

another update

[kremator 1065]

Will try the new script if I see any ghost firing. I think the issue stops the game from progressing as units are not moving on as they are targeting / engaging ghosts. 

 

Testing....

yes very bad, have to get it fixed =/ thx again!

[kremator 1065]

Is pasting it into the debug on the client and hitting server exec (or global exec) fine?  I witnessed two slammers firing at the road.

Below is the RPT from my client

Now server

Hope this helps!

that should be fine. did running the script fix the problem / end the shooting?

[gc8 977]

I think there's confusion on what script to execute. I meant the code in this post should be executed "local Exec" (Client) when the ghost shooting happen. That might fix it for a moment and then if so I should know where the problem is

thx

Nope didn't fix it.  They kept shooting.

Ya run the right script?

 

this one:

 

v = vehicles select { getposATL _x # 2 < -0.3 && typeof _x != "Land_Pallet_F" }; 

{  

diag_log format["veh underground %1 %2", _x, count (crew _x)]; 

deletevehicle _x;

} foreach v;

 

[kremator 1065]

Yes I ran the script .... it had no effect.  Example from the server rpt I uploaded (doesnt appear in the client RPT)....

"veh underground 289f7b94080# 1815573: mrap_01_unarmed_f.p3d 1"

 

Are you using landpallet for emplacements etc ?  Something is triggering the enemy status - are they grouped with an enemy at any stage ?

I'm attaching static weapon to pallet so that it doesn't flip over on uneven terrain. I have tested this a lot in the editor to make sure it's not a problem... in editor they just shoot the gunner and at ease after that. So that shouldn't be the problem.....

 

It's hard to think what else to try. Considering the target being underground I now know that units cant be placed underground, if given negative Z pos they just popup back to surface. vehicles on the other hand can be placed underground but the crew bails if vehicle goes underground (And pops back to surface)

 

I'm outta ideas 😴

pallets, no

[kremator 1065]

What about a test version where no emplacements are placed (comment out that script) to see if the firing happens?  That way we can rule out certain parts.

sure if you test it 🙂

 

Here's new addon file: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1T9YlCnHFnXo9TOfYMoiv7Wa57rYKyQfi

 

It contains all bug fixes so far and I disabled all town defense manning and the pallets (Town defenses and sandbags still spawn but no one mans the guns)

 

if that still doesn't do it I have to figure out more things to disable

 

thx 🙂

[kremator 1065]

Will test in an hour then get back to you. 

 

EDIT:  early testing.... problem solved.  No ghost shooting seen atm.  Exp IS being awarded but ranks not increasing.  Mines still being launched in towns despite being turned off.  No arty seen firing so far.

 

EDIT:  further testing ... yup problem is fixed.  The exp thing, yes rank isnt increasing but I am able to buy more troops.  Heavy vehicles tab only ever shows bobcat.

 

HUGE gathering of vehicles (prolly lowering framerate !)

 

Supply chopper ditches repeatedly into the sea (after >40mins)

@kremator Hey great to hear the problem is finally fixed! At least not happening anymore

Could be the east side firing those mines (which kinda is buggy behaviour). param really don't help here...

maybe anything else is not yet researched?

[gc8 977]

Ok I re-enabled the gun manning but no pallets and attachto in this version. We'll see which one of those features causes the bug

 

Also gave supply helo more fuel

fixed support menu did not work properly
