Mapfact's Respawn v3.0

[raedor 8]

Well, it's done. The last project lead by me for OFP. What are we talking about?

Quote[/b] ]I. Description

Mapfact's Respawn is a modified and limited instant respawn.

After playing OFP's normal respawns long enough many people were looking for a compromise between an infinite and no respawn.

With Mapfact's Respawn the mission maker can set the respawn count to every number he wants. Instead of instantly respawning

another player of the same side has to come close to the dead body to respawn the dead player. After the set respawns are used,

the spectating script is started automatically (when it is not set otherwise by the mission maker).

Thanks to:

Quote[/b] ]JörgF. for v1.0 of the respawn

Kegetys for his spectating script

BadAss for many long hours of testing

MCPXXL who sponsored a test server, had many (all?! ideas for new features and tested with me

sniping-jack & Flashpoint_K for some long hours of testing

Hi, I loved Mapfact Respawn 2 which i modified slighty. Could you list features of MAPFACT Respawn 3 comparing to version 2?

And thanks for your work. I was still waiting and I red about your problems during beta testing.

[raedor 8]

May I quote myself?

Check the readme!

You'll find this list there:

Quote[/b] ]New in v3.0:

*fixed many bugs from the instable v2.5

*changed: the options of the respawn no longer fill up the init.sqs

*added: possibility to show information about your current respawn status (#23)

*added: some functionality to KEG's scripts

*added: possibility to use more respawn units (#18)

*added: possibility to replace really dead bodys with grave crosses (or any other object) (#19)

*added: possibility to add some points in the rating for healing mates (#21)

*added: MAP_respHelper variable (check readme)

*added: MAP_respTeamkiller variable (check readme)

*added: marker script that marks players as long as they're alive

That's more or less all I changed, not too sure that this is all I did, though, as I wrote the list after doing most of the work...

And if you were using v2.0 before, here's the list for v2.5:

Quote[/b] ]New in v2.5:

*fixed various smaller things

*fixed: #7 works now correctly

*added: after x healings the healer gets a new respawn (#9, #10)

*added: markers after x seconds to show where the injured player is (#11)

*added: you can define some mission-relevant EHs, which get globally reattached to the player after respawning (#12)

*added: if you kill civilians or team mates you'll have x respawns less (#13, #14)

*added: the injured player calls for help (#15, #16)

*added: MAP_Rucksack compatibility

Could you post a pic of that scenario? Or send the mission to me...

[mattxr 9]

i just started up your test mission and clicked preview and it attacked back with this .. as you can see the screen starts to fade out and then it just stays in a cam pos over the player.. and i cant moive or anything.. just escape.. lol

Ive tested it with and without ECP and i just dont get it, i redownloaded it and it never worked.. but the funny thing was when i first downloaded it a week or so back it worked.. now it doesnt ? i dont get it? i just downloaded and tryed again and it still doesnt work?

[raedor 8]

Welll... ermmm... that happens if you don't test your test missions... I hope I can fix it soon, but not this WE as we have our Mapfact Workshop. But it should work if you inlcude it in your mission correctly...

Welll... ermmm... that happens if you don't test your test missions...

[raedor 8]

Sorry, I meant I didn't test the test mission before releasing it or at least not the last version of it... You're not "guilty"

[mattxr 9]

Something must of went rong somewhere becuase im sure it worked before hand unless it was the older version LOL

[raedor 8]

I don't know what you were doing, the test mission is working fine for me. Make sure you've got the correct files!

Hi, respawn work fine, but you cant play alone, you need a player for heal you.

In these examples ais not available (disabledAI = 1) and need a human player.

Try to play with some friend or join at ECT server, a lot of coop maps with that respawn type.

Remember: Play this coops with human player.

Greetings.

Respawn is a MP-Script/Tool/Thing what ever....

Using it with one Player and AI is not really the right Way.

If you do that strange things are may occure ...
