-Snafu- 77 Posted May 16, 2008 This is my first ever public mission so it is nothing too complicated although it did take me a wee while to make. I made it so there was a mission for the 1st ID and so I could learn the editor. The mission is about an attack on a SLA outpost in the South Sahrani mountains by the 1st ID. It is 'set' a little bit after the defence of the Airport by the SBCT in the official campaign. The mission uses a few scripts the most important of which is Wolfrug's Body Armour. Your squad is equipped with body armour so they can take slightly more damage than normal. It also adds in a new gameplay element as your troops can be stunned. So if you see a soldier of yours lying on the ground go up to him and see if you can give him first aid. An action should appear in the menu. When you do that your trooper will be revived in a few seconds. Hope you enjoy the mission. Constructive comments welcome.

His addon inspired a 5 minute mission editor like myself to try and create something decent. So don't expect something spectacular. It's just a mission that will alow you to jump in and have a blast with  Cameron McDonald's addon. In essence, this mission was a learning experience for me. If you want to have a go at making a mission feel free to de-PBO Search and Destroy and see how I did things. Install and use this mission at your own risk. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- The mission involves a patrol of the newly arrived 1st ID in the S.Sahrani mountains on a search and destroy mission. Some deviously fiendish SLA escaped to the mountains after the Battle for Paraiso Airport and are now up to mischief with US and RACS supply convoys. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Bugs and future plans: If you have questions of any sort, contact me. (see contact details below). No more future plans. This is the final version.

The guys at OFPEC (Wink0, mathias_eichinger, Rellikki, schuler, johnnyboy and Denz) for testing my mission and their advice on how to make it better.

If it were not for that there would not be an intro and an outro. Cameron McDonald and Co. for the 1st Infantry Division Addon. Chris for his excellent ArmA editor. If it wasn't for his tool there would be no briefing or overview. Download mirrors (more welcome): Crapidshare Armaholic Cheers Big. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stun 5 Posted May 18, 2008 Hi, I'm enjoying the mission so far. The only problem is that I have reached the staging area for the assault and the voice instructs me to use the radio to order the assault, but there is no radio in either the menu or the map. so i'm a bit stuck. Update: I just replayed the mission and this time the radio option did appear when i checked the radio on the map. Do you have it set not to appear in the radio menu (0-0)? I think this is what caused the problem the first time i played the mission as the arma disappearing radio bug made it impossible for me to start the attack.

CameronMcDonald 146 Posted May 18, 2008 Thanks for making this, scotch - it was good to actually be able to play with my boys rather than just fix them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
-Snafu- 77 Posted May 19, 2008 @ stun Glad you liked the mission. About the radio thing, the radio action only shows up in both 0-0 and the map when you are the commander of the group. When you are a member of the group it only shows up on the map radio. @ Cameron McDonald No problem, glad you are enjoying it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
