Dog tags vers.0.3 beta

[nettrucker 142]

Hello everybody

This mission is still in making but already at a good point. I would need some beta testers for it. It's also on OFPEC in the mission beta testing section. If you have some time to waste give it a go. You should have plenty of RAM otherwise you'll probably experience some heavy lag.

Mission info:

You are the character Miguel Rodriguez Serving in the Royal Army of the South Sahrani. You're an AT soldier who's unit is send to add additional security in the border town of Corazol. Today an important event is going to take place. North Sahrani's President Carreira is on ufficial visit to discuss important matters to lighten up tensions between both nations.

Carreira has a meeting with destiny so will you.

Known issues:

1.) I still got to work on cinematics regarding prepare cam commands. Couldn't get it to work so far.

2.) There's a couple of audiofiles I still have to implement you will see some messages on screen but you won't hear no sound. I had some problems with the sideRadio command. I couldn't get it to work, so I used a work around for the time being.

3.) Stringtable is still incomplete

Place the addons in your Addonfolder

Place the pbo in your Mission folder.

Great job !

I don't see significant bug.

But sure intensive work for cpu and memory.

Thanks for your reply EricFr.

Yeah that's true. There are hell lot's of things running. I tried a little bit to simulate kind of a large scale attack of SLA to secure Corazol. Yeah the CPU is quite busy with this one . . .I hope you were able to play the mission without suffering lag and most important that you enjoyed yourself.

Thanks once again for your feedback.

Hi everybody

see that there's not much feedback coming. Anyway I updated Dogtags to version0.4 it is still beta and not final.

here's the link to OFPECS beta section where you can decide if it might be worth a download

OFPEC betatesting topic Dogtags

There are just a couple of things that I have to fix especially in the cam scripts due to the fact that I'm still using OFP syntax. Are there any tutorials on ArmA cam scripting, because I have some serious trouble just with such a simple thing to point the camera on target.

Anyway if you have some time to waste give it a go and drop me some constructive feedback.

Thanks in advance
