JTD Fire And Smoke

[greenpsycho 10]

For example, I'm playing domination and after 2 hours, not only is there a heck of a lot of fire and smoke, but ArmAII tends to bog down for me after a couple of hours anyway.

yeah, same here too, i think there are scripting issues with most multiplayer maps (arma2 in general) because everything runs well the first couple of hours, but eventually my cti warfare and domi servers will crash (and it ain't the hardware either)

system:

i7 @ 3.8ghz

6gb ram

JIP players are getting the "cannot play or edit this mission. addon missing" error

[greenpsycho 10]

yeah, its a weird sync thing, but the mod does seem to work properly and based on my small testing, pre-existing fires/smoke do show up on JIP players screen

Can someone please help me out? I can't figure out how to make this Smoke addon work. It says I need to use Extended Event Handler and I have that added to my launch options, but I'm not sure what else I need to do.

Here's my launch option:

-nosplash -mod=@IVD;@VopSound_2.1;@Pistolfied_Tracers;@CBA;@JTD

do you have the userconfig folder? in there is suppose to be a JTD folder and a hpp file inside it

Yup I do.

C:\Program Files\Valve\Steam\SteamApps\common\arma 2\userconfig\JTD

and the "JTD_FireAndSmoke_config.hpp" is in there.

It looks like there's a space between the J and the TD in your launch params.

Make sure it is the real name of the folder, and probably better without spaces. :)

like TRex said, make sure the shortcut has exactly the same name as the folder.

Also, it's best to have CBA as the first thing that loads (i.e. -mod=@CBA;@xxx;@xxx etc.) Not saying that's the problem; but any addons that require it will not "see" it if it's loaded after them IIRC

[JuggernautOfWar 1]

When are we going to get some keys for this?

[TRexian 0]

I thought ver. 02 had keys?

Maybe try re-downloading?

[JuggernautOfWar 1]

Oops you're right. I guess the server I was on didn't like those keys, I was kicked.

Bit more F&S captured while doing something else. :)

Gives me at AA2 launch the message:

"Addon ´JTD_FireAndSmoke´ requires addon ´extended eventhandlers´

I have CBA 0.13 installed...and yes I´ve installed the JTD 0.2 correctly...what gives???

[no use for a name 0]

what order are you mods loaded? load cba first

[harT 10]

CBA is first.

here´s my addon list:

F:\Games\ArmA2\arma2.exe -nosplash -mod=@JBA -mod=@Chatter_Addon -mod=@TRSM_Tracked_Vehicles -mod=@RH_Heli_sound_mod_1.01 -mod=@FLIR v1.1 -@HiFi_Vehical_Weapons -mod=@HiFi_AIR -mod=SOW -mod=@SLX -mod=@JTD -mod=@Japahto -mod=@panthera -mod=@Mi28

JTD is the only one which gives the warning message.

You don't need to type -mod= all the time, just do it like -mod=@mymod1;@mymod2 ... you can use ; to separate several modfolders.

Also, your shortcut shows -mod=@JBA instead of CBA, that might be the problem ;)

LOL.

Typo pwnd!

Of course, I've never done that! :p

I didn't know you could separate mod calls with just a semi colon. Nice one.

no go removing that @-sign, still gives me the "finger"... :confused:

Got arma2 1.04 505-dvd version, all other addons work fine.

[cole 0]

oops, wait, don't remove the @ sign, you should still use it as long as your modfolders have it. You had a typo in the CBA modfolder, you had @JBA in your shortcut while you should have @CBA there.

This is what your shortcut should look like:

F:\Games\ArmA2\arma2.exe -nosplash -mod=@CBA;@Chatter_Addon;@TRSM_Tracked_Vehicles;@RH_Heli_sound_mod_1.01;@FLIR v1.1;@HiFi_Vehical_Weapons;@HiFi_AIR;SOW;@SLX;@JTD;@Japahto;@panthera;@Mi28

and you should have your modfolders called @CBA, @Chatter_Addon etc..

[NoRailgunner 0]

Try it only with addon @JTD eg

F:\Games\ArmA2\beta\arma2.exe -nosplash -mod=beta;@CBA;@JTD or without beta eg

F:\Games\ArmA2\arma2.exe -nosplash -mod=@CBA;@JTD

be sure all of your addon folders are named with "@<name>" and have a "Addons" folder inside including *.pbo files ;)

AARG!! youre right...got a typo, man! i need glasses.

:eek:

:yay:

Congrats DMarkwick, excellent job done here! I finally came around to install and test it - big fun. To spread the fire to trees and bushes really makes the difference :D

Hope someone can help me with this. i'm a huge fan of this mod but playing Benny's warfare this afternoon and an idiot AI chopper pilot crashed into the HQ zone, and the resulting fires spread across the whole base. I'd just nipped out to take a town and noticed the AI i'd left behind started croaking and things were being destroyed, so i rushed back to find that the area of effect from the heat had destroyed all but the HQ. IS there anyway i can reduced the effectiveness over distance. I don't want to play A2 without this mod.

Thx.

You can actually turn the fire propagation off completely or make it slower in the .hpp file.
