VTS3.5 - Live Multiplayer coop mission editor

[Knight Rider 10]

Some other remarks and a feature request:

- Feature request: Turn off spectating for enemy/other units. An opfor unit can spectate a blufor unit for instance. It could be used to cheat if dead people pass on the location of the enemy by spectating.

- Remark: Spawning an empty vehicle in OA VTS can give problems for the human players. Sometimes they can't get in,out or can't control their character anymore, it seems an AI took over and they can just spectate (not the be confused with the feature request info :p) or so.

- Also when I place a unit and have the not move option and afterwards I try to give them a go to point on map order they don't do that and just stand there.

It seems to me that OA gives some problems here and there in VTS.

Sure thing, Use of Alice is already implemented. Just disabled due to MP incompatibility, i will reenable it.

There is no update for now, because i don't have muche time to spare on Arma 2.

But i hope to get back on it soon.

Would be great if you could add the save function and prevent dead or wounded players from spectating enemy players, I hope you'll consider those things. :) Keep it up mate.

Is is possible to change te server slot classes, like Operator to a unit from an addon? Or change it to the standard USMC units? (We have a unit addon with a replacement pack, which replaces the usmc guys)

If so how can you do that?

I know you can change classes in the MASH but that gives to many problems unfortunately.

I have tried swapping the US BLUFOR slots with the Dutch units, but it doesn't work. You just spawn in the air, even if you're the GM. If anybody knows how to replace the BLUFOR units in VTS I'd like to know.

But yeah, replacement pack would be a solution too I guess, but those only work for USMC. There is a forum user on these forums who does replacement packs btw.

Has anyone else been experiencing issues with the revive feature in VTS affecting ACE feature functionality? It seems as though lately whenever a player is killed and then revived the ACE menus will not come up, as well as all ACE Rucksack functionality breaking and effectively become inoperable.

Anyone know if there is a fix for this?

[BoomBoomSate 10]

Just wanna say THANKS for a great build.

Me and my whole 3para clan are lovin' it !

Hello,

I have searched the thread and found nothing. I am trying to use the undead mod in multiplayer, and I remember it working before in an older version of VTS. However now the zombies and infected do not attack at all. After messing around in the editor they are acting the same as if the infected/zombie module are not placed in the map. Is there any way to add the module using the VTS interface? Can I add it in a trigger? I would really appreciate any help.

Yes, but you need to call the script ran by the module via the GM interface. I added a help page with premade command to launch popular user module. Cheer

Thank you so much for this!

The save and load feature is working but... The format command is limited to 2048 character... wich is reached by something like 10 spawn.

It means that the load / save function doesnt work after 10 spawn -_-

I need to convert Array to String and String to Code (array) who have more than 2048 chars..

Fixed, Save & Load is now implemented for 2D and 3D Spawn

Wonderful news! Thank you for all your hard work.

Hey mate know i've asked this before but i'd like to have the standalone campfire back if at all possible, the tents compistion is nice and all but i do alot of night gorilla(SP?) missions with VTS with no night visions and such, and having a tent composition in the middle of a settlement is kinda....off? Also i used to use those fires to light up castles and such, and now i don't have a alternative.

TL;DR Please readd standalone campfires, and keep up the good work, thanks!

Hey L'etranger,

Would it be possible to create a Lingor version ?

Also with the camera, is it possible to make it go a little faster and be able to look UP :) so we have a full 360 camera.

Being able to add other scripts is nice - I have a test version with Drapers RUM, madbull's R3F arty and logistics, MMA (script) and norrins helo extract - all working well with it !

Keep up the hard work mate..... it is REALLY REALLY appreciated.

Fantastic .... will try it out IMMEDIATELY !

Thanks L'etranger. This just keeps getting better and better !

[Terror Wolf 10]

How do you actually spawn the 3d-placed characters in the new system? I can rotate, raise/lower, but cannot seem to find out how to actually spawn the unit.

Excuse my ignorance lol.

*EDIT*

Figured it out... for those that don't know, it's the "C" key.

Thanks for the new system L'etranger... much improved and highly useful!!!
