BAS Delta/Ranger Woodland Demo

[Asmodeus 0]

Hi everyone,

This mission was released on 05/23/04 and I'm just looking for some feedback.

So far ruff has told me he gets an error and can't play the mission no matter what he does.  The BAS team and recently The Avon Lady have told me that it works fine and they liked it.

So, I'm looking for more feedback.  I'd like to make sure this mission works for most of you, as ruff and I can't figure out what the problem is so far.  

You can get the mission here.  Thanks OFPEC!

Or, you can get it here.  Thanks opflashpoint.org!

Thanks in advance,

Asmo

You don't want to hear the story behind getting that thing at OFPEC (long story). I really enjoy the mission. I found it hard at first, but then I retried a few times and had a lot of fun. Good job.

Thank you for this mission Asmodeus,

i played it and it works 100% fine here, all triggers, radio, and waypoints are working.

hehe, this is one hard mission, when i thought i had the search parties defeated and i moved ahead (looking for AA) suddenly a LOT more of them came over the ridge...i eventually managed to end the mission after a few retries, and after i added a few more helis on both sides, all BAS stuff, final result was an assassination Op turned into a huge battlefield .

Great demo mission to these excellent addons.

Thanks a lot to both of you!

I'm glad it worked for you and you had fun!  

@ Bonko

Your modification sounds interesting!  I'd do such things too if I didn't have to worry about lag for people.  

Thanks for the feedback.  

Asmo

P.S. Thanks for uploading it Homefry! I remember I didn't have the time because I think it was my birthday or something...

Asmo, just to let you know that I renamed the PBO to play it on Desert Malden instead of the original Malden. Much more appropriate scenery.

Everything seemed to be in the right position. The one exception was at the immediate start of the intro cutscene, the soldiers seemed to run straight along the crash path of the downed SU-25, rather than veering to the right of the screen.

Maybe I was lucky but the MI17 was still air-worthy when we got to the base. Amazing how an FFAR rocket can so easily ignite rocket fuel. :P

All that was missing were desert camo Russian vehicles and troops.

Regarding the change of plan for the 2nd objective, it would have been more clear had a radio audio clip played, saying what's written in the radio text message.

Avon,

Thanks! Wrong mission though!

The one you are commenting on is currently not released.

I'll respond to your comments by email.

Thanks,

Asmo

Interesting....

Check this out:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">class Intro

{

addOns[]=

{

"bas_deraw",

"JAM_Magazines",

"BMP2",

"HMMWV",

"Bradley",

"bas_weap",

"bis_weaponpack",

"BAS_MAH60",

"bas_deraJ",

"BAS_Jkawa",

"bas_kawa",

"bis_resistance"

};

addOnsAuto[]=

{

"bas_deraJ",

"JAM_Magazines",

"BMP2",

"HMMWV",

"Bradley",

"BAS_MAH60",

"BAS_Jkawa",

"bas_kawa"

};

HMMWV, that's BIS's, default hummer...  Nothing wrong here....  I don't see how that could happen.  

Please try playing with only BAS addons installed.  Sometimes that helps.  

Asmo

P.S. I have no idea what that other Humvee is....

[cozza 24]

ohhh it think i know. Fishkopps Humvee. PBO's called Humvee

[theavonlady 2]

Avon,

@ batdog

Good!  I hope that fixes it for you.

@ Avon

LOL!  Thanks again for the feedback either way!    (I may submit that mission for the mission editing competition)  

@ ruff

  That REALLY sucks!     Have you tried reinstalling your graphics card drivers and perhaps direct X??

Have you done anything new to your computer recently?

Perhaps you should start a thread in the troubleshooting board.  There's some very helpful, knowledgable people that respond in there and they may have a better idea of a fix for you.  (I recommend giving full details on the situation, including as specific as possible system specs, direct x version, last installation of key drivers, etc etc)

Good luck, and I'll be watching if you start a thread and will continue to give my ideas!  I have no idea why it would just affect my missions....  Are we talking all my relased missions, even my very first old as hell mission Elite Sniper??  

Thanks everyone, and please give me more feedback on the mission if you can!     (any constructive feedback is good, even if you don't think you have much to say, please do!)

like chemical warfare

so far the best mission ive played

[Asmodeus 0]

Thanks ruff!

I wonder if any of my other missions work then? Like City of the Dead or The Lost Lion??

I want you to be able to play this, if you like Chemical Warfare I'm pretty sure you'd like this.

Intro wont work for me. *Missing Addon:HHP_humvee*

Whats HHP_Humvee

It's a problem of the addon, has a bad config, I had the same problem with the desert and woodland humvees before I fixed them.

This error, can sometimes make the mission doesn't load at all.

Remove the addon to see the intro.

[ruff 102]

lost lion works

but chemical warfare does not

I just got done playing the BAS Woodland Demo. All I can say is...didn't expect anything less.

This is a mission the presents a quality equal to the addons used. Good basis, good objectives, maybe a little too easy, but overall I like it. And the briefing section is 10/10, give just the right amount of information.

Personally, I think this mission and missions like it are the ones to win the competition soon. Could have been longer and more complex as far as objectives go, something to spice it up and require more use of tactical skills. But any kind of sniper/observer mission will face this challenge, and this is the best sniper mission I've ever played.

Keep it up! HOOAH!

[ruff 102]

i could play it now

it was the inq nvg addon that was causing the problem

the jpg was conflicting with the strella oaac or something like that

so i changed all the enemy with aa and replaced them with rpg7 aa

and now i can play it

good mission so far havent had time to finish it yet

@ Ninja_STO

Thank you very much!     I really appreciate the feedback and am glad to live up to BAS expectations.    

It's cool to know that people have fun with missions I make and I agree with the extra objective idea but I can't do it because I don't want it to lag for "low end" computers.  (I've been there)    

I may release a seperate version that requires "high end" computers and then I could go hog wild.  

@ ruff

Ah ha!!!  Right on, you found it.    

Thank you for the info and enjoy the mission.

great mission asmo! is there any coop version (sniper/ spotter)

[Asmodeus 0]

Thanks Mastakilla!

It is definately possible that I will do all BAS Demo missions I make as co-op as well, since I just recently started really getting the hang of making MP missions the way I want thanks to looking at Nagual's work.  (Amazing stuff, really top notch Nagual)  

So, if I do end up having the time to do such a thing, I'll announce it for sure.  

Thanks for the interest,

Asmo

I made this one MP Co-op by just depbo'ing it, changing the spotter to playable, and saving again as MP. So now you can have a two-player co-op MP version.

Ninja,

Wasn't it too easy then? I find for every possible player you must add at least a couple more squads to make it about the same difficulty.

I'm thinking of having 1 squad of Rangers playable as well as the Delta Demo squads, and have group respawn perhaps.

Asmo

[ruff 102]

if its respawn groups only make it trigger once or twice

i just dont like missions with unlimited enemies  like the bas insurgency campaign when u had to take over the town

killed like hundreds of enemies in there and they kept on coming

finished the mission

intense stuff, gives the atmosphere of being a sniper under fire

i had to blow up the shilkas myself though

tried to get in the heli but they were locked i was gonna pull of a james bond and blow up the other annoying chopper with it like wat i did the orginal CWC

the bit wen u r the captured pilot

didnt follow my guards and went for the heli straight away after the russian pilots left, flew and blew everythin up

oh memories!!! CWC

good sniper mission, always something different,  make desert one now  

hostage rescue mixed with snipering and stealing laptops form safe from well protected places

e.g. the lost lion

Honestly, I have not played the MP version I made, I just checked in to see that it worked as a temp solution to the above question.

Not meaning this in a bad way, but personally I found the mission for SP way too easy. To me it seemed almost like a shooting range, but it was still a fun mission. I had the most fun when I decided to stick around and ensure every last enemy was dead, was so hungry for blood I even went hunting to see if more were out there somewhere
