Sorry, it turns out the addon should already be in the addon pack, so don't worry about it Jack

[Jack-UK 0]

Ah sweet Less faffing about for me

[D.murphy man 0]

Ah i use to love crime city back on OFP. And now with JIP it should make the experience even more enjoyable! Does it keep your stats so if you disconnect and reconnect you'll still keep your money etc.. sort of like evo?

I certainly look out for this one on the servers! nice job!

[manzilla 1]

Where do I dl the mission? I just dl'd the pack, again, but there is nothing in the missions folder. Isn't there a link that just has the new mission version? I didn't see it anywhere.

[mattxr 9]

The link is down* for the moment as we are just finishing the new tests, where pretty much 95% if not all of bugs will be fixed.

Firstly, I'd like to apologise to those of you downloading the addons and finding no mission in the 'Mission' folder. Between me and my clan mates, Mattius and JasonO, we've managed to fix a few considerable bugs. I am currently looking into a solution for being able to buy weapons, and I will post an update soon.

The new version, with much less bugs, and an improved stats interface will be uploaded soon. As long as I can figure out how to use the DSTS data storage system thing, and have permission to use it, I don't see why it couldn't be implemented in S'ville

I havent seen too much publicity in this missions yet. It would be better if u name the missions somekind RPG sahrani reallife etc.. And the addonpacks just need some proper additions like full pack of modern handheld firearms, bigger selection of vehicles and more units.

[Somerville 0]

Hi folks,

The new mission has been uploaded. Check the first post in the thread for the links.

Fixes:

1) You can now buy weapons at the new improved gunstore. The weapons are then positioned on a small fence for you to take away. Full credit goes to the creator of the weapons placement script, Kronzky. His work has been brilliant, and here's to much more Kronzky scripty stuff.

2) A new small bank in Paraiso.

3) Delivery system now works.

4) The skydiving is no longer a $500 suicide-booth.

These were the main things requested by the clans who have been very helpful in pointing out bugs, GOL and The Rifles. Further planned features include:

1) Education system.

2) Employment center.

3) Car Insurance [Y'know, for replacing your vehicle etc]

4) Any many more..

Enjoy folks!

P.s:

@Last Poster

GOL is looking to set up a permanent dedicated server solely for Sahraniville. It's called Sahraniville, as it takes from the OFP map, Nogville - an RPG map for OFP. Other addons will be released in the form of 'booster' thingies, so you don't have to download the unncessesary addons again.

[Jack-UK 0]

Woohoot, i'll be on your server draining your bandwith soon playing the map

[jasono 0]

I will be setting up a dedicated game server (well I currently am..) just for Sahraniville like Somerville mentioned. I just need to upload the ArmA files to it so it will run. It's about 5 gig so it's not fun over FTP...

At the moment you can try the GOL Server or filter for Sahraniville. The GOL Server may or may not be in Sahraniville mode (where the mod is or isn't running to help performance during GOL Operations). If it is then your lucky, feel free to set a game up. You'll get to the slot screen if it is running for SahraniVille, else you'll just get stuck.

I will also set a dedicated server once the bugs are fixed....We played it last night on my dedicated server and the mission is plagued with problems. Hopefully they will be fixed soon enough. :hm

looks great can't wait to play it! just one question though. will the police cars have a lightbar or lights of some sort?

[Winters1807 0]

I can only find 1 server playin it atm, 101st sahraniville, but whenever i join, i get stuck on waiting for host

[Al Simmons 0]

I had a few games on the GOL Server and the one from 101st (some maybe remember the "Packsie&Ficksie PMC (Guns for hire)" , very nice gameplay and idea

But theres still lots to do, iam not sure if it was statet earlier, for example. Use a dialog based menue for buying, shopping etc. because all those actions are causing bugs when not coded proper and it would be much easier to use.....

keep it on

[Kristian 47]

dunno if these are found yet, VERYYYYY anoying bugs:

-Sometimes I cant see my pocket cash

-Bying list jams to action menu

------------------

Improvement ideas:

-Adding border guards ( maybe some players play as border guards on MP, dunno)

adding some sub-action menus

example, yo go to car store, and there comes a sub menu called:

Open Car meu (or something)

little bit of prize cheking

rubberboat 3999 dollars and a car 500?

but, still loving the mission!

we may impliment more weapon packs in the course of the future but for now the concentation is sorting out all the remaining bugs which people on our fourms and elsewhere are continuing to update us on

[Hyrax0740 0]

i will be loading a dedicated server for Sahraniville in the US Chicago for all the players in the states. Havent seen a server running it in the states yet so figured i will,

Server will be up by noonish central US time.

Enjoy!

Oh love yalls mod!

[DaRat 0]

Just had a thoroughly enjoyable game on the 101st Server, but yeah, I agree with previous posts..

- Buying vehicle menus jam up the action menu (The options stay there until you die [can buy a Skoda in Paraiso from Rahmadi if you wanted to ] )

- The gun shop in Iguana does not appear to work... Just says "Your weapon will be ready in 5 secs..." and "Your weapon is ready..." But it never arrives =/

- Can there be bigger items for buying stuff? The flagpoles are very hard to use (especially on the -GOL- server where there are no crosshairs )

All I can think of atm, but a very enjoyable mission none the less

[Al Simmons 0]

Here are some notes from my latest test (GOL RP SV Server):

Shop actions still jam the actionmenue

possible Fix:

Using dialogues instead of actions, this would be working better, looking better and would be more easy to deal with. I know that this would cause lots of work but trust me it should be worth it.

delivering point4 seems not to work correctly

possible Fix:

checkin the scripts

weapons are lost when killed

possible Fix:

I know that this is not a bug but its very annoying and unrealistic when ur trying to get some weapons by looting carcasses or murdered cops and nothing is there. That leads me to my last point.

Not enuff weapons for cops

possible Fix:

put in more weapons into the cop crates and delete the weapon vanishing scripts after kills. I know this way it would be much easyier for civs to get weapons but that should be a problem that the cops can handle.

I think i found more points, but, i cant remember

[Kerry 0]

oh my GOD!

this is SOOOOO much funn!

hands down, best arma mission ive played yet!

we had a hostage situation going down in a hideout, it was SO sick! lol.

keep up the AWESOME work!

Bugs ive noticed:

1. The action menu's get bugged often(if you buy a car or osmthing, somtimes the action will stay with you for the rest of the game, even when you are farr gone form the flagg, and others canot buy, it tells them the action menu is in use.)

2. Suggestion : Sync the time of day with evey player if possible. (its to hard to doge cops when its pitch black for you, and broad daylgiht for them.)

3. The rain will cause major lagg very often.

4. When me and my freind bought weed from the Dope farm, and tryed to sell it to the dealer, nothing happened. There was no option! :/

Future things, that would be nice to hve:

1. RHS weapons (Select weapons from the pack... like not PKM's lol. But maybe an AKM or somthing)

2. Satchel charges( too hard to ambush police with time bombs :/)

3. Some other handgun addons(civilian weapons [Deagle, Colt.45, etc..)

Other than that, this is my favorite mission out there!

very, very intense! Keep up the AWESOME work!

Im off to Sahrani ville!  

[Al Simmons 0]

ah yes we had a situation when to suspects where observed at the dope farm and stopped later but no way to find out if they have dope in their pockets

@kerry

your 2e point isnt a sharaniville bug but a arma bug there is a bug report for it already.

Bug report

Ill contact somer tomorrow cause i might have a idea about how to fix this tough.

[Kirby 2]

You should give the cops flashlights using that flashlight scripts.

And maybe make it possible for civs to buy flashlights.

You could probably add blue flashing lights to the cop cars using a script too.
