therev709 10 Posted January 15, 2010 @jason np man, I've got my day off tomorrow so I'll be chipping away at my next mission, once i get to the voice stuff I'll let you know ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jasonnoguchi 11 Posted January 15, 2010 (edited) Praise the Lord for the weekend! hahahaa... I will try to finish this mission today as well.. darn, its more difficult than i thought especially with GL4 and its really FUN! The limited vision created by the fog and snow makes spotting enemies under fire very challenging as well. The well designed panthera peaks which are about 600m from peak to peak really extends the firefight all the way to their max engagement range. Very well done! :) Edited January 15, 2010 by jasonnoguchi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jasonnoguchi 11 Posted January 15, 2010 UPDATE : Completed this mission at last!! 3 days of play! One day for each secop! The final secop was HELL ON EARTH! In the end, everyone was bleeding, injured, out of bandages and out of bullets! Praise the Lord for ACE Flashbang + Throw (Short)! Without this combo, I won't be able to storm into the room where the final objective is and kill all the guards and not the objective himself! All in all, I personally emptied about 80 mags of AK, 30 mags of Tac50, 40 mags of Bizon ammo and 10 mags of 5.56 in this mission (along with another 10 flashbangs and 20 grenades)! The MOST ammo I have EVER expended in one mission! hahahahaha! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jasonnoguchi 11 Posted January 16, 2010 JESUS!!! The new screenies look awesome (not to mention that this is the first time I ever saw that specop humvee ever being used in a mission)!!! Not to mention you obviously have your rig tweaked for maximum performance! hehehehe. Ok, Jason's voice coming up in Jackal's Hunt! :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

=kct=blackmamba 44 Posted January 17, 2010 (edited) error report is coming up... (EDIT) Missions\__cur_sp.panthera2\mission.sqm/intro/groups/item2/vehicles/item0.vehicle:vehicleclass Ewinter_opfor5 no longer exists when i click ok i get to see only the ocean. and i click escape, abort thats when it says script wintersqf not found. but when i press esc and than press scip i get: missions_cur_sp.panthera2\mission.sqm/mission/groups/item54/vehicle/item0.vehicle:vehicle class wintersof_at no longer exist when i press ok i get the following message script setpbos.sqf not found i just redowloaded every single addon and its still the same messages as i get bevore, only thing when i overwrite the desertmercs by schnapdrosel the file was bigger so i think more units in there now. but error remains the same Edited January 17, 2010 by =KCT=BlackMamba Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
therev709 10 Posted January 17, 2010 (edited) weird. somehow you're missing the winter mercs addon as well as two scripts for the mission. where are you downloading from? Now, I'm not trying to insult your intelligence, but: do you use mod folders? do the mods work in the editor (can you place them/make a simple test mission to ensure everything is working) where did you install the mission file?

=kct=blackmamba 44 Posted January 17, 2010 i believe they are in the desert mercs addon if so www.armaholic.com like almost all addons mostly i check there Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

=kct=blackmamba 44 Posted January 17, 2010 tell me wich ones i need to test in the editor, besides the winter units... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
giuppo 1 Posted January 17, 2010 Shame on me!! I didn't see that a new version (v5) of the mercenaries was available! i'm going to test them immediatly! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
therev709 10 Posted January 17, 2010 Definately the ones your having issues with (the winter specops) but I would just go ahead and throw in some units from the other addons too. Btw, you do have the big winter/desert spec ops addon found here: Armaholic, and not the smaller one that is winter ops only? And the mission (Operation%20Cold%20Harvest.Panthera2.pbo file, not the SPColdHarvest folder) is installed in your "Missions" folder found in your Arma2 directory?

=kct=blackmamba 44 Posted January 17, 2010 i think this is the problem normally it would overwrite my exsisting .rar file while saving to folder but it doesnt altough the file is just as big only mine doesnt say version 5 fingers crossed yes the coldharvest is in missions folder as says the readme ;) ---------- Post added at 05:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:12 PM ---------- ok... maaannnnn nice intro is this your first mission?, im realy impressed... awsome intro cant waith to play the rest of it im realy going to like this one for shure i tought lets first tell u abouth i finaly got it going... except for one thing when i quit it stil gives a error abouth the setpbo.sqf not found but it works now, im going to watch out for your next mission/campaign in the meanwhile im out for some snow....

therev709 10 Posted January 17, 2010 except for one thing when i quit it stil gives a error abouth the setpbo.sqf not found but it works now, im going to watch out for your next mission/campaign in the meanwhile im out for some snow.... Awesome, glad to hear it works!! Btw, the error with the setpbo.sqf not found is because the mission is preloaded to play in the background of the menu, but the game only loads the mission.sqm file and nothing else. So when it doesn't find any of the scripts itll come up with the error. No biggy though, it doesn't actually affect anything, and is just an annoyance. Some maps have custom menu videos that play instead of the mission.sqm (Chenarus is one) so those errors don't display. But otherwise it looks like everything is running fine :) Enjoy!

I'll see what I can do. I hope this wont break the mission I'm working on, I'm finished with it other than voice recording and intro. Edit: I don't know when I'll get around to this, classes just started and two people quit at work which means I gotta cover their hours. But I'll do the best I can.
