Cyborg11 10 Posted May 19, 2010 (edited) You don't need this addon anymore. Patch 1.07 fixed the horn. You know that the horn was never broadcasted over the network since the release of ArmA 2. Now the time is over and I present you my addon! Now the horn is working in MP :> Quote How does it work?The script or addon adds a 'MouseButtonDown' Display Eventhandler to the player. The handler script changes a global variable 'CYBP_horn' to an array like [vehiclename, soundname] if you pressed the left mouse button and are in a vehicle as a driver. After the variable has been changed a PublicVariableEventhandler will be executed on all clients. This PVEH only executes the 'say' command with the sound name which was broadcasted over the network. This means that all clients need the addon. If someone doesn't have the addon you can't hear his horn and he can't hear the horn of other players. So I decided to include the script version too. The addon will exit if the script version is running. Readme: http://cyborg11.cy.funpic.de/ArmA2/Downloads/Readme%20-%20CYBP_horn.pdf Signed: Yes - with CYBP.bikey Download: Armed-Assault.de Funpic.de The addon will be part of the next ACE update (ACE port by Xeno).

the.d 0 Posted May 19, 2010 It's all these little things that lead the game closer to perfection - love it! Thanks a lot, Cyborg112, a.k.a Cyborg11! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ryguy 10 Posted May 19, 2010 Finally! This is awesome! Funny how BIS failed to fix one like this... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ginger mcale 11 Posted May 19, 2010 Thank you! Awesome this will be inside of ACE. ACE is a good standard MOD many people use. The standalone MP Horn mod wouldnt be allowed at all servers, it would take long all server administrators to notice it and longer to allow it on their servers. Thanks!

HeinBloed 0 Posted May 20, 2010 Are this good or bad news? I can hear the horn in MP with Beta Build 70644 (installed on server and every client) without this addon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can hear it, but can anyone else? This problem existed in OFP, was fixed in ArmA and then returned in ARMA2. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe not all the time, but at least prior to the last patch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe not all the time, but at least prior to the last patch. It was indeed working in ArmA 1 and sadly it wasn't mentioned in the changelog of beta patch 70644 from yesterday. I've removed it allready from the ACE repository, so it won't be in the next ACE update (not needed anymore :)) Xeno Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I tried installing the patched on my dedicated and they work for about the first five minutes, and then they seem to stop working in mid-game. Not very reliable. So I am giving this addon a try.
