Teufelsklaue 0 Posted June 26, 2007 Thx for your feedback! Here some informations belonging to the first mission: Briefing BACKGROUND Cuban troops (Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias; FAR) have started in the kingdom Sahrani a massive aerial land operation with main focus on Corazol, as well as several amphibious landings on completely Sahrani. There rules chaos.. The Sahrani Forces (RACS) have strongly been decimated and yesterday our aircraft carrier "USS Nimitz" was captured in the harbour of Corazol. You, the " Seal team Alpha ", belong to the cruiser USS Princeton (CG-59). Your primary task on Corazol is the backup of the nuclear weapons-firing codes. However, the position of the Nukes and, above all, the firing codes is unknown at the moment. We work on it. Because the USS Princeton (CG-59) should operate only for a short time in the shallows, and the range of action of our helicopters is limited, you have to build up a F.A.R.P (Forward Ammunition Refuling Point)........ Special equipment Our Artillery Operator is able to call arty-strikes from the USS Princeton (CG-59) via his radio (4x). Our Satellite Operator can use his Sat-Cam (7x) to scan the area. We don´t have a medic. To compensate this, each teammember has unlimited painkillers in his actionmenu. While using this evil stuff, your body will be healed but your senses (hearing and seeing) will be constricted. Be aware that you are "out-of-order" for nearly a minute, after swallowing these pills!. Each teammember has it´s own HUD-Scanner. You can scan the area for enemies with it. Your team has special smoke shells. This could be useful to disappear under pressure! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
l mandrake 9 Posted June 26, 2007 sorry for noob question: where do i install EditorUpdate_v1.02.pbo? (There is no readme file) Thanks, cant wait to try this... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Teufelsklaue 0 Posted June 26, 2007 Addon Installation: 1. Go into the (main)folder where you installed Armed Assault (e.g. C:\Boehmia\ArmA) 2. Create the modfolder named: @AoR_Gambit 3. Switch to this folder (@AoR_Gambit) and create there the folder addons 4. Switch to this folder (addons) and put here the required addons: MAP_Misc.pbo and EditorUpdate_v102.pbo Summarized: Both Pbo´s should be installed in "this" path: C:\Boehmia\ArmA\@AoR_Gambit\addons 5. Now switch to Desktop and open your Armed-Assault-Shortcut 6. Go in the line target 7. scroll to the end of this line and press your space-button just one time! 8. add -mod=@AoR_Gambit to this line Summarized: Your target-line in your Arma-shortcut can look something like this: C:\Boehmia\ArmA\arma.exe -mod=@AoR_Gambit 9. Press your modified ArmA-Shortcut to play with the Mapfact-Misc and the EditorUpdate-Addon (@AoR_Gambit\addons-Folder will be loaded) ------------------------------------------------------ The guys from the FDF-Mod explained this procedure for Operation Flaspoint Mod-folders (in their case the finmod-folder). Except from the installation-path and the name (Operation Flaspoint) it is nearly the same! They included pictures, so it is easier to understand. Look here: FDF Explanation of mod-folders http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Modfolders ------------------------------------------------------ The addon-installation is a bit tricky, but i think Arma-players will have to learn this one time to install forthcomming addons in future too. ------------------------------------------------------ Alternate method (shortest way): Install the FDF-Soundpack and copy the addons MAP_Misc.pboand EditorUpdate_v102.pbo in the installed folder FDF_Sounds\addons When you launch the FDF-Mod.exe you will load MAP_Misc & EditorUpdate_v102.pbo and can play our missions....

kroky 1 Posted June 27, 2007 Very good mission design!! (Love the special equipment like satelite view, special smoke grenades) But the I'm not able to call artillery strikes, nor can I order my AI teammate to call an artillery strike. The only option in command menu is: HUD display. What am I missing? PS. Do the smoke grenade block the AI line of sight? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Teufelsklaue 0 Posted June 27, 2007 But the I'm not able to call artillery strikes, nor can I order my AI teammate to call an artillery strike. PS. Do the smoke grenade block the AI line of sight? Hi Kroky! The guys form mapfact told me that their smokegrenades will block the AI sight. But don´t blame me if it doesn´t work and you die on the battlefield I deactivated the AI in my mission. Due to this you didn´t play the mission in the multiplayer but as singleplayer! Our missions are only created for multiplayer-games , so you can`t order the AI to call artillery strikes or satellite-cam-scan´s. Search for Servers online or play it with your friends as Lan-party-missions Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kroky 1 Posted June 28, 2007 ok I tried it as MP and everything works ok. It's funny because the satelite works in SP too, it's just the Artillery. How can I unlock the AI? Never mind, found out how to do it. (But I will play it on LAN with my friends anyway) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
=AOR=NORDMANN 0 Posted June 29, 2007 Hi there, first post of me. For Chapter 1 there should be a minimum of 2 players. Teufelsklaue will answer your other questions. Thanks for the good feedback Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kroky 1 Posted June 29, 2007 Ok I worked (edited) the mission a little bit in the editor for my personal use and I found out that if you make the artillery soldier as player, he would use the artillery in SP too, if you make the satelite guy as player then he would be able to use satelite in SP too. You just have to change the characters (T) and play them by yourself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Teufelsklaue 0 Posted June 30, 2007 Ok I worked (edited) the mission a little bit in the editor for my personal use That´s fine! I also thought about a Singleplayer-Version of my map, but at the moment we have enough to do with the MP-release of our campaign. @all: Mission No.4 isn´t ready yet. Do you mind if we release mission No.5 before No.4 ? Did already finished the first three missions? Is there any need to release the next ones? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kroky 1 Posted June 30, 2007 when mission 5 is a sequel to mission 4 I would wait until mission 4 is ready and then release mission 5. until now the campaign has a good following story. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Teufelsklaue 0 Posted July 2, 2007 Ok, we will release mission no.4 before no.5! I will modify/fix both missions the upcoming days... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kroky 1 Posted July 12, 2007 cool, the story goes on! Will definitely play this. I plan to make a LAN party with my friends in mid of August. Hope you will release chapter 5-7 until then. So we can play the whole COOP campaign in MP. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Teufelsklaue 0 Posted July 13, 2007 Hope you will release chapter 5-7 until then. Mission 5 will definitely finished the next weeks. My Clan-mates are stressed out at the moment, so i can´t promise that we will finish all missions until your LAN. <span style='color:red'>Mission 1 updated: Version 1.2 now!</span> Featuring "Kegetys Spectating Script" now! -----> Nightstalkers 1.2 <----- Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RAIZEN 0 Posted July 28, 2007 thanx for the 4 missions, its a great campaign. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kroky 1 Posted January 6, 2008 Yes I know this is an old topic. But I also know that this MP mission pack is one of the very best ever made for ArmA!! @Teufelsklaue: We (me and my 3 friends) are right now playing chapter 1-4 in COOP LAN. We simply love this campaign!! Please, please finish the chapters 5-7 too! Best MP campaign until today! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Teufelsklaue 0 Posted January 7, 2008 That´s funny. I just thought about to continue with this campaign. Mission 5 is mine: i will try to finish it in the last week of january or in february. Mission 6 and 7 have to be finished by Mephisto and Nordmann. After releasing mission 5 they hopefully will continue their work too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kroky 1 Posted January 7, 2008 I'm very glad to read that you didn't abandon the idea of finishing the campaign! Waiting eagerly to see it continued. We had a hard time to finish the missions but we did it. (I may add that we play with a lot of mods which makes it a lot harder to accomplish the missions since the AI is unpredictable and very aggressive.) But we had a lot of fun! Especially the satelite/artillery option is great! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
