[R3F] Artillery and Logistic: Manual artillery and advanced logistic (mission script)

[kremator 1065]

Excellent mate ... ty. It's a lot tidier the way you have it now.

[Winchester Delta_1 0]

Thanks for the answer man.... I'm pretty disapointed that MLRS isn't working. But maybe you fix that later on ;).

Also.. i have been testing your demo mission on our dedictaed server... But only the logistic system works there. The arty fails to start up. And i can't operate or pickup the arty computer and put it in a truck anymore. It all works fine on host. Am i doing something wrong? I kept your demo mission original.

My deepest apologies if this has been answered already. I read a few of the past pages and wasn't sure I understood.

* Is there a way I can use just the logistics part of this package (the moving stuff around and loading stuff onto trucks)? I'm trying to learn Arma in small parts and the logistics will help me a lot with base-building scenarios.

* Is this compatible with ACE2 and all its extras?

* Is the logistics part compatible with Mando Missiles?

[smirnov 10]

A very big step towards absolute simulation!

gratz madbull and cya soon on the R3F server ;)

I'll PM you my cobbled-together mission that has ALL of these lovelies working together in harmony !

@Winchester Delta_1 :

That looks anormal. Many people can do it work very well on dedicated and non dedicated. And joining in progress or not.

Redownload the demo mission and test it again please.

If you have again a problem, check your RPT files on server and player and send me any interesting content.

Do you use a specific addon on server or player ?

@jpinard :

> "Is there a way I can use just the logistics part of this package (the moving stuff around and loading stuff onto trucks)?"

Do you mean you want to disable the artillery features ?

If so, yes you can. Read the installation manual and open the "R3F_ARTY_disable_enable.sqf" file.

> "Is this compatible with ACE2 and all its extras?"

Yes. But the default configuration in the v1.3 doesn't take care of ACE2 objects. But you can add them yourself.

Adding the ACE2 objects in the default configuration is a task in the TODO list (see first message). And it is already done (for v1.4) but not yet released.

> "Is the logistics part compatible with Mando Missiles?"

Again yes. As you can add any logistics feature to any object, you can do anything you want.

[R3F] Artillery and Logistic is addon friendly.

Wow, you just made my day! I am sooo excited to start playing with this. It will evebn make random Armory missions more fun since I should be able to move my guns and stuff around.

[major woody 11]

This script is outstanding - taking this game to anothe level... - however I was wondring about a few thing:

1. Is it possible to preload item to vehicles in the editor?
   

• How can I add allready existing ammonition? (WP,Illumination ect.)
  

• Can I make an artillery commend vehicle out of the HQ vehicles instead of use the sattelitephone, and how?
  

(and yes I have read the readme, and yes I have checked this thread ;))

Cheers

[madbull 19]

Hi Major Woody,

Those three questions were already asked (several times I think). :D But never mind. A complete FAQ will come in v1.4 or v1.5.

> "Is it possible to preload item to vehicles in the editor?"

It's in the TODO list. It'll come probably in the v1.4... maybe in three next weeks.

> "How can I add allready existing ammonition? (WP,Illumination ect.)"

It's also in the TODO list. Currently you can't. I have to release a new addon adding different munitions types and different charges. Or to deal with the BIS ARTY module which is not compatible as it.

Pre-loading every satellite phone with the arty computer (without the need for an init line) would be great. Especially for my mission madbull :)

[gunterlund21 10]

OK here is a scenario for you.

We had 5 players playing our version of Domination. It has been enhanced with madbulls arty system and Mandos air controller console. One of the missions in domination is to stop a convoy that is essentially moving across the entire map. So you need to recon to find it. We put 3 guys on the M109's, 1 guy at the arty computer and 1 guy searching the area via the Recon flight in Mando's air console. When he spotted the convoy from and alt of 800m he called in coords to the artillery liaison who passed the fire mission to the 3 howitzers. They laid down a barrage at a range of approximately 5km that stopped the convoy in its tracks and destroyed it. Needless to say it was a big barrage. Man what a game!!!!

[kremator 1065]

Now THAT is a brilliant story ! madbull and Mandoble (and xeno for the map!) what a combination !

[major woody 11]

Sweet - tnx for the quick reply... - Do you also have such features like this on you ToDo list...? :)

[kremator 1065]

Good find major Woody ! This should make it easy for AI to follow your direction and elevation.

What do you think madbull ?

[madbull 19]

Sorry for the late reply. I'm on holiday :)

Thanks for your feedback and stories. That's always nice to read that.

About the AI feature :

Yes, I planned to make the AI able to follow fire orders.

It'll not be exactly like the "Bartkusa's Artillery Battery Officer script".

The AI aboard a gun will be listed in the arty computer interface like any other human player.

Then you will be able to send fire order and they will execute them as soon as the orders are received.

[kremator 1065]

That will be perfect madbull. REALLY looking forward to next release!

[Leovelli 10]

That scenario video was one of the best ARMA vids I've ever seen. Can't wait to configure this tomorrow, great job bud!

[manzilla 1]

Wwwhhhaaattt? This will support AI firing? This my friend is great to hear. Thanks for coming around on this. I appreciate it.

[Cyborg11 10]

How can I add more objects and vehicles to the logistic system?

[manzilla 1]

Check inside R3F_ARTY_AND_LOG\R3F_LOG\config.sqf.

I think you just add class names to the applicable section(s).

I hope that's what you're looking for.

[Cyborg11 10]

Thank you. Now I can add the ACE objects and vehicles.

[kremator 1065]

Superb Cyborg. Looking forward to using the ACE stuff with madbull's lovely addon.

[thebonecollector 10]

Anyone know the right altitude for duela ?
