Did you put in a SLA bomber? If no then could you? Pretty please

[kuIoodporny 45]

Yes I did

I used WinMerge and compared many community made Warfare versions, picked up and improved the features that weren't too complicated.

An update: 1.2.C. Optimized, fixed and shortened a bit.

Hi zGuba,

Some really nice features in this mission, keep up the good work!

I'm wondering how you added the SU-34 with laser guided bombs. Is that done via a config entry, i.e., would you need an addon to be loaded for that, or did you somehow add it using mission-only resources.

Cheers,

Doomguy

[kuIoodporny 45]

Currently it's done via BuyUnit scripts, so Su34 gets bombs in the place of rockets.

However I think it's obsolete. NonWonderDog's specification of Ch-29L missiles makes AT Su-34 even better at the point of laser guided strikes... but hey, it still could be improved!

I've just found a picture of KAB-250L. Looks quite similar to GBU-12, doesn't it?

GBU-12:

zWarfare 1.2.D - 208 KB

Changes:

- Su-34 with KAB-250L bombs (currently using BIS GBU-12 model)

- localized display names of new vehicles and weapons.

Announcing update 1.2.E:

- Battlefield 2 / A.C.E. style armament for assault helicopters: use spacebar to control gunner's weapons

- integrated SmurfC OFP M2A2 Bradley IFV ported by modEmMaik instead of useless M113

- armour crews are cheaper to buy in tank factories than in barracks

- pilots are cheaper to buy in aircraft factories than in barracks

- player can repair, rearm and refuel his team's vehicles in corresponding factories: cars in light, aircrafts in hangar etc.

- player can rearm and heal members of his team in barracks: $25 * unit wounds per unit healing, $50 per unit rearm

- improved service pricing: based on vehicle type (light, heavy, helicopter, aircraft) and status (damage, fuel)

I've been having some weird difficulty with the friendly AI: Every time I begin a game, all of the friendly AI units bunch up in the middle of the base and refuse to move. They'll still respond to orders, such as changing their unit type, but no matter how I try to get them to leave the base (i.e., ordering them to capture towns, patrol an area, or just an explicit 'move' command), they'll never leave.

The problem seems to extend to the enemy AI as well, whether they are US or Russian / SLA. Once you've located the enemy base, all their units are bunched up the same as the friendly units. I have not noticed any problems with the RACS / resistance units.

If anyone has any tips to resolve this issue, and take advantage of this great map :) I would greatly appreciate it.

[kuIoodporny 45]

OMG, I thought it's related to my PC... gotta check it! It could be too low AI update times or basically syntax error (I hate SQS scripts)

AFAIK vehicle units does not have this error, they are doing their tasks.

Thanks for confirmation!

[vengeance1 50]

I have noticed that if you leave the Dedi Server and come back the Dead AI don't all get deleted. They are laying around the base bunched up alive and dead.

Great mod, like the changes.

[kuIoodporny 45]

Actually I'm testing engine updates. My current firewall/network driver crashes ArmA while trying to connect locally spawned dedi server - that slows my work down.

TY for valuable info!

[kuIoodporny 45]

zWarfare 1.2.F - probably the last addon update.

Release highlights:

- standalone - thanks to modEmMaik, EricM and RKSL Studios!

- Mi-24D and Mi-24V avaiable in Mission Editor

- Hind automatically makes use of A.C.E. Missile Guidance

- A.C.E. scenario - USMC vs VDV

Sorry for still no ACEIP/Sara support, got another tasks ;)

Thanks zGuba, can't wait to give it a try tonight.

Not sure but Mission Template Link doesn't seem to work for me? Says 404 HTML error.

Thanks, typo fixed :)

[vengeance1 50]

zGuba, being that you keep the Warfare mission in your PBO how do I enter the path for the Template on the Server so it starts with your mission?

class Missions

{

class Mission0

{

template=????????????????;

param1=1;

param2=2;

cadetMode=1;

};

};

[kuIoodporny 45]

I don't know it either ;P

Use one of mission files instead and write server config as usual.

[vengeance1 50]

Ah, good idea I will pack the Mission file and try that.

Dedi Server:

I am finding that the Non-ACE version runs better than any I have tried, the AI actually do something, current Warfare has been running for 48 hours on one session. However ACE version had errors after awhile, AI stopped moving, Helo when purchased and M1A2 would appear then disappear taking your money! :(

[kuIoodporny 45]

I have disabled grass and done little optimisations. A.C.E. scenario is still under development as I cannot use my own dedicated server, however it's not only the mission to blame here :)

[vengeance1 50]

Understood (ACE Version), I have tested on my Dedi Server most all of the ACE Warfare Mods out there and have not found 1 that does not eventually lockup AI, show same Vehicle issue, drive FPS to 1 or Crash ARMA and the Server Report file is filled with errors.

Question: Do you think Compact Fix would work with your Non-Warfare version?

[kuIoodporny 45]

AFAIK Compact Fix 1.16 should work even with A.C.E., but some features will not be used there.

[vengeance1 50]

zGuba, not to ask a dumb question but what do you mean by STANDALONE?

ALSO you said you were having issues with your Dedi Server here is my Dedi Server if it helps a shortened Display(after all Updating) of the ArmaServer.rpt file these errors just continue to repeat. (hope this helps, runing nothing but zWarefare and ACE).

It does not need any external addons (except of XEH and zWarfare of course).

@update:

It seems that I'm not up to date with these classes ;) thanks!
