Longest Day CO10 (Ghost)

[Ghost 40]

I noticed after a long time working on this mission someone else has a similar named mission. If anyone has some good ideas for a name for this mission let me know but please play it first before giving me a name suggestion. I have been tweaking this mission for a while now, developing new basic scripts, expanding my mission making knowledge. I know it can be buggy and some things arent perfect but it has been tested on a dedicated server with 1-4 people and after numerous trys and many hours we finally beat it.

Known issues:

2. Unlimited Vehicle spawns (need to limit players so there is not hundreds of vehicles)
   
3. Halo script works but does require user to open/close map to activate Halo and bring up gps to see where he is
   
4. Vehicle resupply point does not fill the extra magazine slots for turrets

hi ghost,

indeed there is a mission made for Arma1 that is called "the longest day"

I know cause i played it a lot ,but its a mission for the VTE-mod,

your title like its now should be ok, but if you want to change it you can call it-" the hardest day" or "the darkest day".

but its really up to you if you want to change the name.

Just loaded it. Looks good. Will let you know what I think.

How do you control squad. Squad control dpoes not seem to be active.

If I hit SPACE or F buttons I don't select any squad.

Do you control the squad in this mission

Cheers

Probably get too much confusion with the popular A2 mission - The Longest Day.

Thank you all for the replies. At the spawn there is an Officer that when you get close to will give you the options via action menu to: change viewdistance, recruit ai, and halo. Once a unit is recruited he will join your group and you control him like normal.

I added a poll, please vote
