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

[gunterlund21 10]

Hi again - I was just going through this thread - Is there any way to expand this distance? - I would like to be able to operate the artillery computer from a longer distance than 100 ft from the artillery pieces... - In what script can I find to edit this...?

Cheers...

look in a file called recharger_Piece

if (count nearestObjects [_piece, ["SatPhone","kamazOpen","PowerGenerator"], 100] > 0) then

[madbull 19]

The distance of 100 meters is a constraint for ammo supply, not the arty computer.

As gunterlund21 said, you can edit the distance by replacing "100" by your own value in the quoted scripting line.

There is three time this line :

For players reload :

R3F_ARTY\piece\recharger_piece.sqf (1 occurence)

For AI reloads :

R3F_ARTY\piece\executer_mission_tir_par_IA.sqf (2 occurences)

You can also add the arty computer to a specific objet :

this addAction ["<t color=""#dddd00"">Artillery computer</t>", "R3F_ARTY_AND_LOG\R3F_ARTY\poste_commandement\ouvrir_dlg_saisie_mission.sqf", nil, 6, false, true, "", ""];

Or to a whole class of objects (see the config file and variable R3F_ARTY_CFG_calculateur_in/externe).

@weroedv :

I tested your Domi. There is no bug in the R3F arty & log.

1. About the time of the day :

There is no problem about that. It works as expected, arty & log don't modify the time.

Be sure to select the right hour in the mission parameters (from the interface of players' slot).

2. About the containers :

You edited yourself the configuration of the file R3F_LOG\addons_config\arma2_CO_objects.sqf

You removed the lift and cargo features of most of the container types.

Restore the default config file to get it back.

Thx Madbull...

to 1. During my tests i allways use the same timesetting ingame "5 o Clock"

but if the Arty Part is active the Screen at login sequence turns green ( from 5 starts of the Introsequence the Screen 3-4 Times is Green and the Rest is Normal

If the Arty Part is Deactivated the Screen ALLWAYS normal and i can start the Game 100 Times... NO Change

to 2.

Most of the Containertypes in youre Orginal List of Liftables,are not ingame anymore. ( The Editor Pops up with This Message ) and the 2 Types of Containers i have in the Map, are also in the List of Liftable Containers.. The Reason was not "I CANT LIFT " it was "BEFORE I CAN LIFT THE CONTAINER" i have to Move it by Player and THEN i can Lift and Load someting into...

By the Way, i have the Old 1.3 Version in a Copy of my Map with the Same Config of Liftables and ALL WORKS !!!

This is Weird...

......pardon me but there MUST be somthing wrong....

1. About the NVG at the intro :

Ok, I understand.

Replace the

#include "R3F_ARTY_AND_LOG\init.sqf"

by

execVM "R3F_ARTY_AND_LOG\init.sqf";

as said in the installation manual since 1.4 or 1.5.

There is something weird in your Domi. You should fix the scripting errors (which are not from the arty & log).

2. About the types of container :

Some containers class names are from A2 and others from OA.

Keep all these class names in the config even if you play only with OA or A2... that's not a problem.

The Reason was not "I CANT LIFT " it was "BEFORE I CAN LIFT THE CONTAINER" i have to Move it by Player and THEN i can Lift and Load someting into...

In the version you sent me, I wasn't able to move by the player, lift or use as a cargo your containers.

Are you using the ACE mod ?

There are many class names for containers. Beware of using the right ones (or to keep all the ones I listed in the default config !).

Sorry Dude... between the Time i wrote u my first "Help-Me" and youre first answer, i have done alot of more tests with different containers that was the reason u cant do anyting with the containers in the version is send to u..

BUT:

I forgot a little Useless funny script called Touchbody in the Mission, i have had tested it before i start to insert the 1.6 Arty & Log System.... i ve only inserted it to see the Funny Function to nudge a teamplayer...

I forgot to remove this Useless Script and that was the reason of the Containerproblem....

BUT NOW !!!!

IT WORKS IT WORKS IT WORKS !!!!

I LOVE U !!!! ( Like a friend... u Know ?!?! ?

U Saved all my Hours in the Future when i play this Game...

now I must not do without the Arty and Logsystem

Many thanks to u.....

I Guess in French it is:

Je vous remercie

Dont know if i write it correct cause i dont speak French... sorry...:)

Tnx m8's... worked like a charm... :)

[G-fresh84 10]

I've tried to search this thread for my question but cant find it, so i appoligise if its been asked before.

But is there a way of making the Illumination Rounds for the M252 Mortars actually illuminate, as they are just smoke shells at the moment??

whether there is a way of making them as a flare system in the sky like the ACE flare gun, or to have a ground detonation of illuminated smoke like the ACE trip flare??

[madbull 19]

@weroedv :

Yes ! You're amazing ^^ ;)

Oui, on dit bien "Je vous remercie" ! ;)

@Major Woody :

Glad to read that.

@G-fresh84 :

The illuminate shells are not yet implemented but it's in the todo list and should be in the next release... coming with SADARM / LASER / GPS shells and improved DPICM (named as cluster at the moment).

[121.Saint 10]

MB,

I successfully implemented R3F both Arty and Log on a Takistan Domination map. However, when I try to implement on a Chernarus map, it breaks the Domination mission cycle. The AO's don't appear and missions are no longer given.

I did change the config.sqf to make sure I am loading the proper Chernarus and not Takistan versions.

Any ideas off the top of your head why this might be?

It was a stock co40 Domination AI West mission.

Thanks

[madbull 19]

@121.Saint :

You probably did something wrong during the installation.

Do you use a execVM for the init.sqf of the arty & log ?

Try to install it again and read carefully the guide.

If it still doesn't work, send me the mission file. I will quickly check your installation.

Ref Re-Spawning and retaining the addaction Artillery Computer.

Mando uses this in his Air Support Script so I gave it a whirl and it works like a charm. Allows anyone who grabs an "ACE_DAGR" to control Artillery, however you can change this as you see fit.

My compliments to Mando all his work not mine....

// Add to your init.sqf

[] spawn

{

private["_acidx1", "_acidx2", "_unit", "_veh"];

_acidx1 = -1;

_acidx2 = -1;

while {("ACE_DAGR" in weapons player) && (alive player)} do

{

_unit = player;

if (vehicle _unit != _unit) then

{

_veh = vehicle _unit;

_acidx2 = vehicle _unit addAction ["<t color="#dddd00"">Artillery computer</t>", "R3F_ARTY_AND_LOG\R3F_ARTY\poste_commandement\ouvrir_dlg_saisie_mission.sqf", nil, 6, false, true, "", "];;

Nice. Thanks to share the tips.

Thanks for the info. I'll try it and probably add it in the artillery config... as the FV432 that someone just noticed me by PM.

Hee here i am again. With a new problem. I try'd to fix it myself first and i even put up another post for this problem cause id din't want to bother you with this. But we can't figure it out there also. I have a problem with merging the RSCtitles. I'm editing a mission called insurgency. That mission has the class RSCtitles just like your arty and logistics script. That causes the interfaces not to show up ingame or crash the game. I'm pretty desperate now cause i need to have this game up in 2 day's and i'm so noob in scripting.

The post i put this problem in:

http://www.filefront.com/17534206/9thInsurgency0_70NATO.Zargabad.pbo

Here you can download my mission with no Rsctitles from R3F included in the description. THats because that will crash the game. Without the R3F rsctitles the interfaces don't show up.

Download my mission: http://www.filefront.com/17534206/9thInsurgency0_70NATO.Zargabad.pbo

THe problem i have:

I have a problem editing a mission called insurgency.

I added a cople scripts like AC130, recruiting AI and R3F Arty and logistics script.

The only one not working properly is the Arty and logistics script. I'm pretty sure evrything gets executed right. But the problem is both the original insurgency mission and the R3f Artilley and logistics script are using the same RscTitles class. The result of that error is that i can't take objects out of vehicels, arty computer interface doesn't show up on laptop and mortar/arty guns

I try'd a cople things to get around it but came to the conclusion i'm to dumb for that.

I need to find out how to integrate the 2 RscTitles together.

One RSCtitel class is defind in the Description.ext while the other is defind in the resources folder called titles.hpp.

What about to remove this from the description.ext :

class RscTitles
{
#include "R3F_ARTY_AND_LOG\desc_rsct_include.h"
};

and to include the desc_rsct_include.h in your titles.hpp ?

 class RscTitles { 
#include "R3F_ARTY_AND_LOG\desc_rsct_include.h"

class Rtags { 
	idd=64431; 
	.....
	.....
}; 	
};

Because as the installation guide says... only one "class RscTitles" can exist.

[Winchester Delta_1 0]

Ok we found out how to get the R3F script working in the insurgency mission... Thanks for the help. We had to do exactly what you posted but than move the titel.hpp content with the original RscTitel class into the description.ext. Otherwise R3F can't find it. But after we fixed that i could not get the AC130 back to work. If you want to take a look at the mission when you have some time offcourse you can downlaod it from the link below. The one with the error and the fixed one where the AC130 is not working.

Add the following line to the end of R3F_ARTY_AND_LOG\R3F_LOG\config.sqf

Known issues:

• Opel Blitz trucks tow objects underground - you need to prone behind the truck to retrieve it. This is probably a config thing on their end, no idea.
  
• Not all AA guns are towable or loadable, I chose this due to their size - and it looked stupid dragging a huge metal base along the road.
  
• I added I44_obstacle to the list, but not all objects work. For the most part, tank traps and sandbags function correctly.

Did you ever get a chance to look at Fallujah to figure out the grid? dont know how the config should be set for the map. I know you go to top left corner of the map but on this map not sure what top left is. check it out.

[madbull 19]

@Winchester Delta_1 :

Which feature is not "working" on the AC130 in your mission ?

Please make a clear description to save my precious time.

@bhaz :

That's a very good initiative to share it. I'm gald to see that you fully understood the best way to add a new addon in the arty & log ;)

I'll probably look further with the invasion 44 and your stuff in next versions.

@gunterlund21 :

After downloading and opening in the editor the Fallujah island, the value for R3F_ARTY_CFG_hauteur_ile should be 10240 (not tested, but should be ok).

[gunterlund21 10]

Madbull 10240 doesnt work for me. Can you try it?

[noricum 10]

heya lads;

seems that there's a problem with the script (1.6+hotfix) in combination with ace 433?

I can only shoot 5m with the artillery/mortars and so on....then projectiles are forced back on the ground :butbut:

Tried the demo too, cause I thought i might have done something wrong, but there was the same issue with ace. Only the stryker MC seems to work properly.

Tried it again w/o ace, works fine.

Will this issue be fixed or are there any workarounds for this?

Greets & thx

[m1n1d0u 29]

yeah that's true ace and R3F script isn't compatible now with some artillery , but R3F don't play with ace

[noricum 10]

yeah that's true ace and R3F script isn't compatible now with some artillery , but R3F don't play with ace

well, that's kinda sad.

[madbull 19]

@gunterlund21 :

Not enough time at the moment. Will try later.

@Noricum & M1n1d0u :

We don't play with ACE but wee work to be ACE compatible.

When the ACE / R3F arty & log compatibility is broken due to an ACE update, we fix it in the next arty & log version... (we can't not do it before of course).

[noricum 10]

We don't play with ACE but wee work to be ACE compatible...

thx maestro, would be awesome!
