VTS3.5 - Live Multiplayer coop mission editor

[snoutmaster 10]

Awesome Im so chuffed its getting released for OA It will be epic

[Attila16 10]

I'm looking forward to this mission for Arrowhead, I had a lot of fun with it in arma 2. It's much more fun then most large scale missions since it allows a better teamplay and you can essentially customize the kind of fun you want with your friends.

I was wondering in the early version of the mission, there was the choice of making an hostage rescue mission, but in more recent version, i don't see that possibility. How can i create an hostage rescue mission as easily as before, or would it be possible to put in back in? Especially in the context of takistans that's the kind of pre set mission could be interesting.

Armaholic mirror:

- Virtual TrainingSpace 3.5 - OA Co-105

-For Arrowhead only or Arma 2 Combined operation

-Added all the AO stuff to play with

-Added an option to populate village with takistan civilians

-Fixed minors bugs

-Added check to prevent the gamemaster not be able to spawn stuff anymore at certain time

I got ride of the carrier and starting stuff for compatbility. The GM is able to spawn ammobox and training range.

Cool ! TY very much !

I've got Combined Operations + ACE2 running and I can't seem to be able to find how to spawn the Magicbox.

Is magicbox spawning possible with VTS?

Thanks for the update: magicbox spawn works now, but the init line doesn't seem to work. Tried it on the box, as well as a vehicle with setfuel, and no dice.

I will try to take a look, i ironed out major issue on Takistan.. Map click are counted to be X & Y right but on Z its -100 meters... I let you imagine what type of issue it let go. You can't rely on 3D position for your scripts :(

Nice Mission as always..

Tried to play with public yesterday. Me as GameMaster.

Couple of suggestions from me..

1) JIP-Visible Objective marker. Example here in Doolittle's script pack http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?t=91149

2) Ability to delete Obj Marker (or make delete function do it as well)

3) Respawn markers only visible to side or friendly sides (for PvP Reasons)

4) Disable factions at the Start/Lobby thru params. So that people cannot join the enemy side.

GJ again ..

1 - That something i ll add in my todo list

2 - That should be doable, but only for those objectives marker (to prevent bug and other unknow issues)

3 - Adding it to my todolist, shouldn't be a big deal to change this

4 - Hm.. i could kick back player to lobby if they enter a faction not authorized in the parameters. Need r&d

Thanks a lot for the OA update guys...

I'd still very much like to see the above points implemented though :D

WOOHOO ... you just made my day (and prolly everyone elses !)

Good job. Booting OA now to have a little looky.

Cheers guys - it is MUCH appreciated !

[Eckhart 10]

Excellent and incredibly enjoyable.

Can this version still be edited to be used on other islands without issue, as outlined in post #1?

[cross 1]

lovely...... I'll try to give it a go tonite..

thanx a lot for the release l'etranger ;)

Yes, you juste have to do some little editing from the Zargabad version. Gonza wrote a tutorial on day. I should try to take a look at the location of islands, so we could port the mission just by renaming the .pbo :D

That would be incredibly awesome.

[l etranger 5]

New feature implemented for RC1.0 :

-Fully compatible with all addons and mods (the missions now display dynamicly every units groups or vehicles you did install in your arma, Wohoo)

-Random spawn on island (Just rename .pbo to the island extention if you want to play on that island, no need of editing the mission)

[kremator 1065]

Now that IS nice. I have been trying to get LurchiderLurch's AC130 and madbull's R3F Arty and Logistics system to work properly with VTS .... this looks like it may just do it :)

Good work guys !

I play VTS almost exclusively as it is SO powerful.

[cross 1]

The objective system & the marker works quite nice.

One small point -> The US Army Special BOX missing under West/USArmy/Logistics (the MK17s are in them ;) )

One quick question: is ACE mandatory or just optional ?

Thx.
