Are you talking about MP mode right? If yes, check description.ext file. As I remember these lines are missing:

respawn=3;

respawndelay=20;

Ah I still can't get respawn to work, can you just release some .pbo's? I'll throw them on the mirror as well.

I found two bugs. Firstly when I play mission built into pbo file satellite female voices can not be heard. It is strange because I have no problem with another mission version at all. Secondly sometimes waypoint editor cause CTD when I try to add new waypoint to a groups.

It is wierd but true, I recommend to use folder version instead of pbo.

About waypoint editor CTD you should replace an object name called "wptflag" to "LesICTA" in three files. File names are: build_waypoint.sqs, addwpt.sqs, delwpt.sqs. I will fix this in next version. This one is strange bug too I reedit two config.cpp version - core ECP and dynaminrange ECP - and CTD only occurs in dynamicrange version.

It is working now without CTD

Thanks.

I done randomized vehicle traffic and checkpoints at home territory.

Actions in Home territory if you are an enemy soldier:

- Get a vehicle: To reach target point more faster you should get a car/truck. You can find abandoned civilian vehicles

in towns/villages or you should hijack moving civilian/military vehicle.

First option: Using "Hijack" useraction button you can stop vehicle and force driver to give out his vehicle without any dammage and fight. This event will be randomized. Sometimes it is succeed, sometimes driver step on the gas and runaway.

Second option: Using your weapon to shoot down driver carefully not to dammage vehicle seriously. If you let go attacked vehicle to break away you can expect it will alert enemy patrol nearby if any.

- Travel in a vehicle: There will be two modes to travel. Camouflage mode: you (and your groups) will be hidden from enemy until you are in a vehicle. Hostile mod: Enemy will attack whenever recognize you.

more to come (maybe someone give idea)

coop possibly?

coop possibly?

At the beginning I wrote scripts for One Human players even If you play it on MP. I will investigate the possibilities of Coop version later. But You can try coop now just put one human player slot using mission editor.:;):

I finished prison camp. There will be four possible place where to build prison (per side). If one of your fighting group fall to trap and surrender they will be escort to prison camp. You can set free them on two way. Using satellite You can find and attack transport truck before it reach the prison or if you miss this you must attack prison camp.

Needless to say surrendered fighting group won't be operate until you set free prisoners.

Commando mission: "Release Prisoners" is done.

I started to work on the next Commando mission called "Attack Headquarters". If you make a succesfull assault on the enemy Headquarters, which is will be found at one of the town of home territory, It will demoralize enemy fighting groups for a long time (30-60 minutes).

Enemy soldiers will more often drop they weapon and flee, skill of reinforcements will reduce in dramatic way.

It is sounds great!

It is possible to make city blackouts by cut off power or something? As I saw there are some powersupply object across the island.

Link is not working! Any other d/l link available?

It was false alarm! Sorry!

[village idiot 0]

It is really great work! It took a long time while I learned everything but worth it. Sometimes I just watch how battlefield is living. Soldiers fights, reinforcement arrives, dammaged tanks independently go back to repair, specops and artillery do they "work". The accelerated day-night cycle is match to this mod well. It is really funny to see object animations, likes tanks came from the garage. Thing I most missed a comprehensive explanation of values which influence the game. What parameters can be changed and what they do?

I am waiting for the new release!

Hi djukel !

I can't get your mission to work (v0.96) ! When I launch it in the missions menu, it loads and just when the screen changes to "Get Ready", I CTD with an error message saying "wrong format in p3d file" or something similar.

I have all the addons installed, and they all work properly. Am i the only one ? Help ! Thanks...

Have to decide what addon cause CTD. I think FDF_eastborder Island do that. First check you copied all FDF_eastborder addon to right folder depending what FDF version - 1.1,1.2 or 1.3 - you have (See README.txt). I recommend to use addons from FDF 1.2.

If there are everything in the right place and CTD still have you should try the mission on different island. Just rename mission folder from IBM_0.96.FDF_eastborder to IBM_0.96.Eden for example and load it in mission editor and replace starting object as said in README.txt chapter 8.) using template mission. And try it.

"Assault Headquaters" mission is done.

Target: Eliminate enemy general staff (Primary target: General, secondary targets: two Colonels).

Location of targets: inside the HQ building.

Consequences of succesfull mission:

massive disorder in enemy fighting group for 30-60 minutes

- decreases enemy skill level by 0-0.5

- increases enemy reinforcement time by 30-60 sec

- enemy soldiers drop weapons and desert frequently

Four cities are ready for "BLACKOUTS" now, these cities will be the possible spots of enemy headquaters. If you find the current house - MAPfact Object - you could cut the streetlamps power off easily! So night attack strongly advised!

village idiot!

In the new version which is come out in this week I will attach a FAQ about parameters.

"Four cities are ready for "BLACKOUTS" now, these cities will be the possible spots of enemy headquaters.

If you need I can help you to find all streetlamp on this map or other maps. Just let me know!

HI!

I would like to use this satellite in other missions too. It is possible somehow or I just forget it?

Unfortunately satellite is not an addon. Besides of independent scripts files, it makes lot commandlines in description.ext file which must be copied to every mission if you want to use it. Much more easy to put satellite script into a new mission than editing an old one. I you not insist on my satellite please search Blanco or Vectorbosson satellite script in Mission editing$scripting topic. Faster you can learn it how it works if you test one of it.
