what i am forgetting here ?

Why aren´t you using a unit replacement addon?

Saves players the hassle to download units they probably dont even like, and gives you the option to play the same mission with an almost infinite nuber of different units w/o actually changing the mission itself.

has joh_marines and his SF replacements ?

[manzilla 1]

Marines does. Not sure about SF. Check ArmAholic.com

EDIT:

Here they are. Last one replace USMC Men from v1.14

SF: http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=3505

Marines: http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=1335

Well, that doesn`t work still seeing the units of the xam mod an not form joh_marines or Joh_SF

that was the reason that i edit missions, even i installed the replacements i was still seeing the "normal" one and not the replacements

[Sneaker-78- 0]

just tested.. i disabeld XAM1.5 and the replacements works , but i want xam and joh_marines  

and why cant i just edit the mission , its just for privat use only

Edit: i think xam1.5 is the whole problem, are toher ppl has the same problem or i am the just the one

You wrote...

2. in arma editor i replace the units with joh_marines and save it

Did you try with the XAM editor ?

[Sneaker-78- 0]

no, just in arma.

where can i find xam editor ?

[Sneaker-78- 0]

but still ..even i don`t use replacements..and i just edit the mission , why don`t the server loads the : edited mission ?

i just replace 1 unit to a oh_marine unit, what i am forgetting here ?

[xeno 230]

You have to start the server with the addons that you are using !!!!!!

In your case add jonnys marines to the mod list of your server.

Xeno

[Sneaker-78- 0]

well, those addons i use where already on the server

[Sneaker-78- 0]

ok, i tried again and still the same problem ,i realy don`t know what i doing wrong here.

So can somebody help me an edit the missie with joh_marines and joh_marineSF ?

you can contact me trough email

[Sneaker-78- 0]

there must be an answer for this problem right ?

I just created a own mission with the units that i want and and uploaded to my server and that works perfect ;/

THis realy should be done in mission edit forum. You just made this into your own personal chat page.

Were are the mods when you need them?

[Sneaker-78- 0]

I thought it must be simple to replace an slodier in the editor but my server is going crazy

i just edit 1 man to joh_marine ,here is my mission file maby someone can see what i am doing wrong here ..

Sorry, but except that you wanted to add jonnys marines and it doesn't work you haven't provided us any other information until now.

Now, let's take a look at your mission.sqm...

"49th_f16",

"3LB_SA6",

"xam_veh",

"xam_vehdes",

"EMSI_MRQUAVS",

"joh_usmc",

"armat_vtol"

Are these addons on the server too ?

What does the server rpt tell you (it gives you a little bit more information than just the server log window) ?

One of the reasons for falling back to the "Waiting for host" screen is because an addon is missing on the server (maybe the weapons for jonnys marines ? Can't remember if they are part of the units pbo). Maybe one of those addons doesn't like another. All we can do is just guessing.

Edit: It would be nice to see how you actually start your server (mod list).

Quote[/b] ]startup of the server:

-port=2302 -cfg=basic.cfg -config=server.cfg -name=joint -mod=DBE1;@units;@Smods;@XAM1.5;@XEH

@Smods are server side addons :.LINK

@units = joh_marines SF etc

joh_usmc i cant find that one, i thought that was the addon of Joh_marines but its not in the rar file when i donwloaded it.

But, i tried to make a own mission with the marines and placed it on the server and that just works fine.

[xeno 230]

"armat_vtol" (Client side addon)

Now, if this is an client side addon then it shouldn't be in the mission.sqm file. Let me guess... you don't have this addon on the server ?

Remove it from the mission.sqm file or put that addon on the server (though not such a good idea) and I bet the mission will run

Like I said before... an addon is missing on the server.

Ok, it works now

tnks Xeno !!
