EMAN 0 Posted April 22, 2003 I noticed the readme says the vehicle would be available under BAS Vehicle Spec Ops, but it is really placed in BAS Vehicles, this is causing my missions using the older M47E to get the addon not found error. Can someone help me out. I have one mission that I have many hours invested that cannot load due to this missing addon message. Thanks <S> SWAF Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This means if I add a MH47E to a mission I have to add the following names manually: BAS_Soar185 Bas_Cargo Bas_MH47185 BAS_Kiowapack Thats for every mission I want to use the MH-47E in. Now I dunno about you but to me that just seems wrong In some missions, even manually adding the names does not allow the mission to load, i then get "missing addon : bmp2" Now I want to clarify, this is only after adding this one addon to the mission, the mission functioned fine before that. If theres any more information you need that would help I'll see what i can do. Cheers, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vektorboson 8 Posted April 22, 2003 Hi, great work guys! I'm really looking forward to your next fantastic Helicopter or whatever you release! I encountered a bug in the Intercept mission. It always has to do with _ammo = _this select 4; looks like an error in an EventHandler; what's odd about this, it always happened when got out of the mh47, perhaps you accidentially used "GETOUT" instead of "FIRED" or whatever.

Guest jacobaby Posted April 22, 2003 I have to admit guys that I went through today, after reading the posts before I went to work a bit pissed off. In fact I was feeling like jacking in the addon making business apart from private ones for myself and my friends/team mates. Why? Because of all the negatives coming from people who dont read the notes. In this whole thread, only 2 things have been mentioned that have really been worth the effort of reading. Firstly the error that was caused by the CPP2BIN app, meaning that we had to release the BAS_cargo addon again, thanks Lee for that, and the other is the player fast roping away from his rope. This has been checked and rechecked and rechecked several times, I even had to learn how to make basic models in Oxygen to do it, so I am a bit annoyed at missing that for the final. For the AI it seems ok, so it must be the final adjustments to the hold position that altered it for the player. That is worth sorting, so next time we release a vehicle that will be stowed (we have at least TWO in the works PLUS a boat that you and an AI team will be able to be extracted in...) we shall probably update that as well. A REQUEST. If you think you have a genuine bug, and it is NOT mentioned or covered in the readme, and you can confirm that it does it repeatedly and can provide an example, then please let us know. But read the list of known issues first...you will see that pretty much all of the complaints to date are covered in that. Regarding the chopper moving in circles. It is trying to get in formation with the leader, probably due to the Roadway LOD in the helicopter, there is nothing WE can do about this, but skilled players would know to give the pilot a WP or a HALT. Regarding the Hold Position. For me it works all the time. The way it is scripted is this; You press HOLD POSITION. The AI pilot will come to a HALT. (gunner leaves group so he can try and defend of his own volition, chopper has to be set to Careless to make it stop). When the chopper is at 1kmh or less the Chopper will be fully halted, and a hint box will appear, confirming that. Now you can do as you like, the chopper will not move. I find it best to Fast Rope myself, and then get the group to fast rope. The chopper will be free to move now without further action from you. If the chopper IS moving around, then it is my guess you have Clicked the action too many times. I have made it as foolproof as possible without making a huge script base which probably would never have got finished.... However it seems there are some "fools" you just cant cater for..... Its the same with the vehicles in cargo. I deliberately made it so there was a bit of a pause in proceedings, in reality loading a Jeep or anything aboard a Chinook is time consuming and tedious. Just be more accurate with your mouse clicks and I am confident your problems will be fewer... My biggest laugh of the day is the guy who complained he couldnt use the Police Jeep with the cargo sling. I have a crazy imagination, but even I cannot come up with a scenario where US special forces would want to be carrying a police jeep around..... Im surprised we dont get asked for the shopping trolley and UFO to be fitted inside..... About the flares, I guess I could have put an engine on condition in there, but I didnt really bank on you guys firing rockets at it on the floor........ In reality the CM systems are completely automatic I believe. The balance of the comments today are more inspiring, so maybe I will do some more scripting in the future.... But I know other addon teams feel the same.... we work our arses off to get these to you..and it seems all you want to do is compete to find bugs and glitches as fast as you can So to all you who are just enjoying having the latest addon with ground breaking capability, and who have made comments of appreciation.. YOU'RE WELCOME!!!! To the others.....if you wanna compete, try looking for the extra details we included but didnt mention..... TJ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
