Mapfact releases MP Mission get em back part one

[mcpxxl 2]

After Mapfact released some Addons like MAP_SouthSahrani, a idea suggests itself, to build a fitting MP Mission. But the devil is in the details, one idea forced another which caused finally a previously unplaned addon. After the time of 8 months and nearly endless tests, you come to know what it finally delivers.

The fundamental idea was to build a Mission following the Apache Arms transfer.

As the result of the missionsize and the required time to finish this mission, we decided to split the mission in Part One and Part Two

More information to both missions you get in the downloadpage of Part One and some days later in Part Two.

At the beginning we have to script around some inadequacies of ArmA, but later some external features like Grouplink2+ and primary DAC2.0 of Silola enhanced the Missions a lot. Here and there Lester develop some special routines to force vehicle routes much better on the Island.

After we got this under our control the wish arise to enhance the units a little bit and especially the 'Heal at medic' self service bothered us a lot !

do we need to run these addons both on server and client side or only client...?

[mcpxxl 2]

This are fully testet and tuned dedicated MP Missions and addons

And no, sorry you should nothing read about clientside addons , so you have to have it on the server also.

Some of the routines are done on the server.

You can also use it in SP but it is only for players and no AI.

In MP mode you need it on both server and client !

PS: You need 1.09 if it is not directly written

So AI in SP gets no advantages from these addons?

Nope

[mcpxxl 2]

There are to many functionalities and combinations that could not be done from AI. (from us and we never thougt about that)

So it´s RPG aspect is only for "players" YES

Thanks. These addons will add nice and usefull RPG elements to ArmA. Hopefully Mapfact didn't quit on SP mission making!? Your OFP missions were outstanding!!

[mcpxxl 2]

No surely not, but this time it was MP_team release.

We also tought that there should be no addon without a mission for understanding and example.

part on = simple ;-)

part two --> for men

Will release it after a few days because part two is significant

harder and can not be done with the right use of your skills !

I hope you have also fun with the part one version

PS: If someone think ah just reconnect and build my own Rambo with more skills will fail ...

Our Server is public actual...

When needed i will start it

Some criticism after having played this mission 3 minutes or so:

- I hate the try-and-error-stuff with the steereable para. Why not some quick basic infos (maybe in the mission-briefing-section)?

- The same with the "skills" in the weapon-menue. Dont got it how this works or what is this? Why the hell not some short informations about this in the briefing?

- I hate the hurry-hurry-the-convoy-arrives-in-30-seconds-stuff and you have no time to plan the ambush in detail. Why do you give the player not at least 5 minutes at the start for checking the situation on the ground. (the abstract planing of the ambush should be made on the map in the briefing)?

Everyone should be as much information as necessary to get a mission RIGHT THE FIRST TIME, right?

Steerable Parachute:

W - increase speed

A - turn left

D - turn right

S -decrease speed

Landing Speed have to be between -2.0 and -2.5 !

-2.5 to -5.0 brings damage from broken legs to dead

As a matter of course and i forgot to mention it i was very very impressed form the mission so far i have seen it (the arrival via plane, the parachuting, beginning of ambush).

[mcpxxl 2]

Yes and all things there are planned like it is (sorry)

There is only one armored vehicle at the beginning.

So with a little training (like in real) there is more then enough time .

With one player you only can train to setup stachels or something else...

This mission we want a real teamplay , with only two or three player it would be surley danger.

In part one you do not need vehicles , but in two the area is to wide.

So belive me there is enough time, but also sometimes troups nearby ;-) at the landing site...

may the skills be with you

PS: Play it with ECS and Matteffects it´s a real eyecandy
