First issue: CoC_diver not in required addons list ... not at ofp.info at least

[ag_smith 0]

Sorry to bother, but is there going to be patch for the previous release?

-Centurion's wheels start "flashing" when driving

-MC-130 has no texture and the bomb is droped on the plane

-A-1Js, F-105, F-4s, F-5s: when launching a missile or droping a bomb I get this at the top of my screen: '_missobj setpos[_xpos, _ypos, _zpos]|#|': Error Type Any, expected number

-NVA Crew's hat is limiting visibility inside vehicles and aircraft

-PT-76: When entering mission I get: Cannot load mipmap vte_land\pt76\i_det8.pac and can't see behind through gunners optics

when i start up ofp with the VTE mod running i get the following error:

Quote[/b] ]No entry 'bin\config.bin/CfgInGameUI.MPTable'.

ofp continues to start up, but when i get to the main screen i get the following error:

Quote[/b] ]No entry 'bin\config.bin.CfgFonts'.

and then none of the sp missions, campaigns, or addons will load when i start a mission, instead sending me back to the main screen.

i originally tried running VTE under the mod folder name @VTE, but when i changed it to x_vte it gave me the same problem. any ideas on what i did wrong?

No, there are too many things changed for patching. Next release of course will be a small patch again.

Those planes work just fine here on my computer. They were thoroughly tested for these script errors before release.

Again I do not get that kind of error in my computer.

Both of these reports might be caused by wrong installation, can you guys please explain in detail how did you install VTE open beta 11-03-05?

[ESFD 0]

I simply extracted the x_vte folder from the rar into my OFP folder.

Edit: Ok, got it, I was running VTE with ECP... from previous versions

deleted the contents of my @VTE folder, dragged in the contents of the x_vte folder from the .rar, ran the .dat thing to install the sky, and that was it!

the contents of my x_vte\bin folder are now:

Quote[/b] ]config.cpp

resource.cpp

do i have to convert the config.cpp to a config.bin?

something else weird is that in the VTE readme that comes with the latest version, it doens't mention the bin folder:

Quote[/b] ]When your directory / folders are setup, it should look like this:

<ofpdir>/x_vte/

<ofpdir>/x_vte/addons/

<ofpdir>/x_vte/campaigns/

<ofpdir>/x_vte/VTE_missions/

<ofpdir>/x_vte/dta/

<ofpdir>/x_vte/newdata/

hello

this object has no texture :

US soldier on cross, Us soldier with damaged leg, Us soldier without arms and head, Us soldier without legs, US soldier hanging from pole.

i keep getting "error loading data3d\snake (magic)" all the time with several missions and campaigns. wonder what that might be? i've no other mods running with vte.

also, some missions i've made now won't load because of "error loading vte_sof2weapons" or something similar.

[.pablo. 0]

ok, figured out the source of my problem; i was trying to run VTE through OFP Launcher, instead of a separate shortcut. works perfectly now...

Glad to hear you got it working, and even more happier to hear there was nothing wrong with VTE

Quote[/b] ]do i have to convert the config.cpp to a config.bin?

No need to convert or edit anything, VTE works "as is" from the rar, its optional to run the sky installer, but recommened for nicer skies.

Quote[/b] ]weird is that in the VTE readme that comes with the latest version, it doens't mention the bin folder:

Ah indeed, good catch. My mistake, will try to remember to write that down on future releases

Quote[/b] ]this object has no texture: US soldier on cross, Us soldier with damaged leg, Us soldier without arms and head, Us soldier without legs, US soldier hanging from pole.

Thanks for letting me know, these slipped through the tests as I didn't come across them (actually I think only Valley of Death mission by Hawkins is using these objects at the moment). Will be fixed on next release.

Quote[/b] ]i keep getting "error loading data3d\snake (magic)" all the time with several missions and campaigns. wonder what that might be? i've no other mods running with vte.

If I'm correct that direct error display looks for "snake.p3d" or perhaps even "snake" object file on the data3d directory, it baffles me where such error could come since nothing like this on any of the missions came up while testing.

Quote[/b] ]also, some missions i've made now won't load because of "error loading vte_sof2weapons" or something similar.

Yes this is because so much have changed since 1st open beta patch #2. There are two choices, edit the missions yourself, simply removing the addons[] required part for "VTE_sof2weapons", string (and any other edits you need to make). Or send that non-working mission to me and I'll fix it for you.

Better yet, if your mission is ready to be played you can have it included on next VTE release?

If you want to send that mission to me, remove all sound files you might have added (to make it smaller in size), rar up the mission directory and email it to flashpoint at nekromantix dot com address.

Any idea what OFP Launcher did wrong here, can it be fixed somehow or is it just something we cannot do nothing about?

[Snake Man 407]

I have added VTE Installation Help page to guide everyone through the installation process.

Let me know if there is something I left out or wrote in the way its difficult to understand. I'll upgrade the page if there is any need for it.

i'm not exactly sure, though i recall that other certain mods have required separate shortcuts (I44, FDF); it's really no big deal, as long as the player knows he has to do it. just add something about it to the readme for the next version and it'll be fine.

_radiotypes = ["VTE_prc25","VTE_typ63"]

#NoRadio

?({_x in weapons player} count _RadioTypes>0):Goto "StartRadio"

~5

Goto "NoRadio"

#StartRadio

[player] exec "\CoC_Arty\scripts\openmenu.sqs"

CoCIFRadioAlwaysOn = true

[] exec "\CoC_Arty\scripts\RadioMonitor.sqs"

#HasRadio

VTE Patch 11-03-05 #1

[df2dpxs 0]

Hi guys, first let's say that the first beta was wonderful but i've tried to install the last version (11-03) with the patch and I got a (three in fact) problem (no solution in the two readme...):

So i download the beta 11-03 on OFP.info

then I unrar, got x_vte folder and create x_vte common\addons with all required (with coc _divers of course) then i run llauma installer, move VTE_missions in missions folder (I conserve the same name...) and unrar directly the patch archive in x_vte and Apply the patch, who is "successfully applied"

so i create a shortcut x_vte; x_vte common and then

First problem

So i say M...de (S...T in french) and click on Ok

OFP run and at the beginning screen : Second problem :

RE-M....de but I'm French so I will survive

Re-Ok let's go to the Editor, open a vietnam map (All in fact) and got the third problem :

Something like No Busstop found but i can't remember anymore...

Then Ok

I insert A west soldier (classical) for tourism and then click preview : so loading and....

return to editor with

But it's not finished on SEB maps there is no return to editor but BEFORE editor view got a CTD problem

What's the problem with this cfgAddon ?

Help me please you're my only hope

SOrry Sorry Sorry but I want to play this mod

Edit : Oh yeah No ECP, No First VTE beta no DXDLL installed of course
