About the new release

From the ReadMe.txt file:

2-1-0 | 06 OCT 2009

Added Norrin's Revive Respawn component.

Updated manual: Various changes (EN and RU versions).

About F2

The F2 Mission Development Framework (F2) is the successor to the popular BAS f mission development framework for ArmA (discussed in this thread). The new framework contains many of the features you know from BAS f, updated to work with ArmA 2, plus some new components which take advantage of the new game's special features.

For downloads and to find out more please see our online manual:

• http://www.ferstaberinde.com/f2/en/ (English version*)
  
• http://www.ferstaberinde.com/f2/ru/ (Russian version)

Huge thanks to all team members and contributors to F2 (and BAS f), as well as the testers from Shack Tactical.

\o/ Awesome work Fer!! Thanks so much.

\o/ Awesome work Fer!! Thanks so much.

LOL, thank Norrin - both for granting permission for this integration, and for doing all the hard work himself. I'm just a documentation monkey and connector-of-(talented)-people. Hopefully this version of F2 should help a lot of people who have been asking for this particular combination.

:)

[galzohar 31]

My biggest issue with F2 is the huge file size that is created, as the scripts are included in the PBO even if they aren't used. It would be very nice if it was clear which files/lines should be deleted for each component that you choose to disable. When I tried just to take the spectator scripts out I had to go through quite a bit of trouble to figure out that I need to add a certain line to the init.sqf and description.ext to make it work.

Also, if you want some kind of marker script that is compatible with group/side respawn, you may want to try something like these:

http://www.filefactory.com/file/a0fdg6f/n/groupmarker_sqf

http://www.filefactory.com/file/a0fdg6g/n/unitmarkers_sqf

They aren't totally generic, but something using that principal will get the job done.

Sample mission using them will be published soon, once it gets a bit more testing.

My biggest issue with F2 is the huge file size that is created, as the scripts are included in the PBO even if they aren't used. It would be very nice if it was clear which files/lines should be deleted for each component that you choose to disable.

I'm slightly confused here. Every component page in the online manual provides a list of files which are used for the component, making it easy to know what to delete if you wish to remove a component. Where files are shared between components, such as init.sqf and description.ext, the component-specific code is always held in a single clearly labelled bloc, with a header such as:

// F2 - Kegetys Spectator Script

So if you want to remove all the files for a component out of your mission folder it should be relatively straightforward. What's missing?

When I tried just to take the spectator scripts out I had to go through quite a bit of trouble to figure out that I need to add a certain line to the init.sqf and description.ext to make it work.

See above, but also bear in mind that the intent is not to make every component standalone. The intent is that you begin with the framework and replace or remove components. That's not to say that more advanced scripters aren't capable (and indeed welcome) to cherry-pick and extract components, but the manual is designed to cater for the former scenario.

With the newest release, v2-1-0, by far the most additional weight comes from Norrin's excellent revive/respawn scripts. However, if you are not going to use them, you can effect a drastic reduction in file size by simply deleting the folder:

\f\revive

Hope that helps.

Also, if you want some kind of marker script that is compatible with group/side respawn, you may want to try something like these:

http://www.filefactory.com/file/a0fdg6f/n/groupmarker_sqf

http://www.filefactory.com/file/a0fdg6g/n/unitmarkers_sqf

They aren't totally generic, but something using that principal will get the job done.

Thanks for the heads-up. We'll certainly take a look.

Hi All,

Has anybody had issue's with the "@ShackTac_assignGear.sqf" as it doesn't seem to be working for me.

I have the latest version of F2 and I am simply changing the USMC equipment for the "_rifleGL" to "M16A4_GL" from "M4A1_HWS_GL".

i.e. _rifleGL = "M16A4_GL";

When I preview this in the editor as an FTL nothing has changed?

Can anyone help?

Thanks

Cool Breeze

i.e. _rifleGL = "M16A4_GL";

When I preview this in the editor as an FTL nothing has changed?

Hi Cool Breeze, please can you just confirm a few things?

1. You edited line #101 in the file f/common/@ShackTac_assignGear.sqf

2. You picked an FTL slot such as A1 FTL, B1 FTL etc.

3. You ensured that the mission was properly restarted.

I just tried the exact same change of rifle you wanted and it worked fine (for a number of different FTLs). Wondering if something else is the issue?

[galzohar 31]

If you change a script and in the game nothing changes, it is 99% you not properly restarting the mission. Just going out to the slot selection screen is not enough - you have to exit that one as well and pick that mission again. On a dedicated server you also can't use the #restart (nor #vote restart) command, it will cause the same issue - instead, you have to go back to the missions list and pick the mission again. If you fail to do that, the mission will use the scripts the way they were written the last time you ran the mission, and will not take into account the modifications.

Of course you should also check that you edited the script in your actual mission folder and not the F2 folder ;) (assuming you copied and renamed the F2 mission before you started working on it).

[Cool Breeze-ICON 10]

Hi Fer/Galzohar

I re-extracted the latest version again and swapped out one of the weapons. I opened the mission in editor and re-saved then previewed the mission. At first nothing then after 10-15sec I hear "shit out of ammo"; success!!! I guess it just takes time to filter through all units in the F2 template.

I have now successfully started adding and modifying kit for my new mission.

Thanks

I totally love your work, since I totally su*k at scripting :)

Working on a mission, well the mission is ready, I just can't get the revive working..

I always respawn at the starting position after 4 seconds.. with standard loadout..

I doublechecked the files.. but couldn't find the reason..

So I totally have no Idea, what I did wrong. :(

Not sure if this is the right thread to ask for meld with the F2 framework or if you have another one for that.. sorry if you do :)

Cheers..

KG!

EDIT:

since you need to know what I did...

I removed the First Aid: Battlefield Clearance & First Aid: Simulation.

I removed the // in the required spaces to enable the revive script.

I changed the respawn to 3 and the respawndelay to 4.

Just to double-check, have you done absolutely everything on this page:

http://www.ferstaberinde.com/f2/en/index.php?title=Norrin%27s_Revive_Respawn

NB That includes following the instructions in the manual for Norrin's Revive Respawn (see the How to Use section of the page linked above).

[kampfgeist 0]

Oh, didn't mention that in my first post, but guess that shouldn't be a problem...

My mission takes place on Namalsk, not one one of the BIS-Islands.

Anyway I gonna post some snippets, from what I did.

Step one:

Disable Kegetys Spectator Script in the init.sqf

// F2 - Kegetys Spectator Script
// Credits: Please see the F2 online manual (http://www.ferstaberinde.com/f2/en/)

// [] execVM "f\common\f_spect\specta_init.sqf";

Step two

Delete stuff in the Editor

I got rid of the "First Aid: Battlefield Clearance" and the "First Aid: Simulation"

Units and Logics.

Step three

Removed the //s in the init.sqf

// F2 - Norrin's Revive Respawn
// Credits: Please see the F2 online manual (http://www.ferstaberinde.com/f2/en/)

  server execVM "revive_init.sqf";

Step four

The description.ext

Changed the respawn settings..

respawn = 3;
respawndelay = 4;

Removed all the // at the revive Part1

// F2 - Norrin's Revive Respawn (Part 1)
// Credits: Please see the F2 online manual (http://www.ferstaberinde.com/f2/en/)

class f_param_lives
{
	title = "Number of Lives:";
	values[] = {2000,1000,20,10,7,5};
	texts[] = {"No Revive","Infinite - Cadet","20 - Easy ","10 - Normal","7  - Hard","5  - Extreme"};
	default = 10;
	code = "f_param_lives = %1";
};

And Part2

// F2 - Norrin's Revive Respawn (Part 2)
// Credits: Please see the F2 online manual (http://www.ferstaberinde.com/f2/en/)

  disabledAI = 0;
  #include "f\revive\dialogs\revive.cpp"

Step five

Norrins Manual

Step 1,2,3 and 8 already done, step 5 is also done by you guys and I got the:

1. Server (Game Logic)
   
2. Boot Hill (more than 100m away from the respawn points)
   
3. Center
   
4. Respawn West
   
5. Respawn East
   
6. Respawn Independent
   

Step 6:

For my mission I didn't need any additional markers to respaw (or do I need them to be able to be revived)?

Step 7:

Tested it with an untouched version of the "revive_init.sqf" and did some changes too, didn't see any effect, since I spawn diectly at the set spawnpoint for the faction, in this case west)

Are there any options who can force you to spawn directly at the respawn_west in the "revive_init.sqf"?

Some points are kinda hard to understand (in my opinion)

Step 9:

Don't wanna use any custom sounds here..

----

Some things I came up with that may have cause the prolem are...

I use the Namalsk Island.

I use the BIS ForceRecon units as player units (units are named and names are used int the "revive_init.sqf").

----

hmm.. that's all I can think of at the moment.. but it is quite late over here already :)

Cheers...

Namalsk won't be the problem mate. PM sent.

[fer 21]

Namalsk won't be the problem mate. PM sent.

Hi Norrin, thanks for stopping in. Please can you post the solution here when you find it? Thanks :)

[norrin 9]

Hi Norrin, thanks for stopping in. Please can you post the solution here when you find it? Thanks :)

Just a missing quotation mark from the mission makers list of playable units in the revive_init.sqf, which stopped the revive script from initialising - once that was fixed revive was fine.

[kampfgeist 0]

Yes, I just didn't see it..

thanks again norrin.

[Cool Breeze-ICON 10]

Hi All,

For some reason the following setting in the description.ext file do not work correctly:-

respawn = 1;

If I am right in thinking that:-

1 = Respawn as a seagull

2 = Respawn just where you died (you will not keep your gear)

3 = Respawn at base marker

4 = Respawn in your group (if no AI slots are left, you become a seagull)

I have set this to 1 and tested it on a hosted PC, when I die I do not spawn as a seagull I get taken to the de-briefing screen?

If I set it to 2, I re-spawn at the insertion point with all my weapons.

If I set it to 3, I re-spawn at the insertion point with all my weapons.

I have set this to 1 and tested it on a hosted PC, when I die I do not spawn as a seagull I get taken to the de-briefing screen?

If I set it to 2, I re-spawn at the insertion point with all my weapons.

If I set it to 3, I re-spawn at the insertion point with all my weapons.

I can't help you with everything..

but you only become a seagull if there is another player still plaing, otherwise you get the the debriefing screen since the mission is over..

So 1 will spawn you as seagull if there is another player still playing.

As far as i know ;)

And 2 should be instant.. can't help you there...

And 3 is baserespawn.. so it works ;)

New Release: v2-1-2

About the new release

From the ReadMe.txt file:

2-1-2 | 02 NOV 2009

Added Name Tags component.

Updated Norrin's Revive Respawn to version 0.3f.

Updated manual: Various changes (EN and RU versions).

About F2

The F2 Mission Development Framework (F2) is the successor to the popular BAS f mission development framework for ArmA (discussed in this thread). The new framework contains many of the features you know from BAS f, updated to work with ArmA 2, plus some new components which take advantage of the new game's special features.

For downloads and to find out more please see our online manual:

• http://www.ferstaberinde.com/f2/en/ (English version*)
  
• http://www.ferstaberinde.com/f2/ru/ (Russian version)

Huge thanks to all team members and contributors to F2 (and BAS f), as well as the testers from Shack Tactical.

Just a quick question... and maybe an idea to add a note in the wiki..

How do I update my mission I'm working on to the new version of the F2 Framework 8which files to exchange etc? :)

Cheers,

Hi All,

Am I right in believing that the standard re-spawn script does not re-spawn you back at base with your existing weapon load-outs?

If yes to above, then I have used the Revive/Re-spawn script and set it to no revive's. This is working ok and re-spawns me at base with weapon load-outs.

The problem I have is that I would like to use the AI skill selector and when I turn this function on the revive script does not work. Has anybody experienced this problem and does anyone have a solution???

Thanks

Cool Breeze

Hi Fer.

Good job with F2!

I have currently one slight problem:

Any idea how to get the COIN implemented back to unit after respawning?

Does it mess something up for example if

f_COINstopped = false;

is reused in a trigger?

Or do I have to find a way to re-sync the unit to the module?

EDIT:

OK, I found an alternative solution by Big Daddy to implement

name_module synchronizeObjectsAdd [name_unit];

in unit's init.

I'm gonna try this. Hopefully it works.

bug report:

f_missionMakerTeleport.sqf is run for JIP players even though it's disabled, because the script uses the player variable which is undefined for JIP'ers for a while. You should probably put the waitForJIP thing in there.
