hey, when I go into the campaign menu I get the error: 'campaigns\operation_peacekeeper\description.ext.Campaign'

Then, your campaign is listed as a blank space on the menu. I click on it, hit start, choose a difficulty, then I'm greeted by: No entry '.Campaign'.

Then it puts me back at the campaign menu.

Have you read this ?

[Kovah85 10]

Ah sorry, I read it on the Armaholic page which clearly states: 'Extract the .pbo file(s) to your ArmA 2 Operation Arrowhead\Campaigns folder.', and didn't notice the 'notes'.

EDIT: Putting the .pbo file in the /missions folder does nothing. It doesn't show up in the single mission listing.

Please don't make ACE required. Oops, my mistake. After actually reading what you wrote, I realized that you plan a non-ACE version, too.

[Bozmore 10]

:) its okay, however, i am going to speed up production on the non ACE version, and the first mission will probably be released tommorrow that doesnt require ACE.

[xxbbcc 6]

Ty. I'm looking forward to having user-made campaigns for OA. :)

[Bozmore 10]

non ace version added

[kylania 568]

0.15b is giving this error:

[Bozmore 10]

Bozmore,thx for this good cp and for political background / your link to UNO

one thing (maybe spoiling ahead, so hided the following)

how can I force safid to enter suv after having accomplished speech 1 (1st scenario, it's ticked green and now I want to move with my team and safid to waypoint of speech 2, but safid doesn't enter the suv, me and my team's already inside ... there's still enemies around but task "speech 1" is completed/green, do I have to eleminate all enemies around ?

thx in advance

edit: playing ACE-Version, 0.3b

edit2: after having reloaded last savegame several times spoiled problem finally has been solved "automatically" now :-)

[Bozmore 10]

@langgis, i am very happy to hear problem is solved. For anybody who may need to know in the future, the answer to Langiss's hidden question about enemies is no.

After driving 20min trough chernarus and trying to check in, nothing happens.....:rolleyes:

[Bozmore 10]

hmmm.... thats not good :confused: i am very sorry for that, just use the end mission cheat i suppose. Ill figure out a fix in the meantime

[santafee 10]

well i dont wanna be an as**** but now i used the endmission cheat and theres the next problem:p

if i drive to the VIP, he just runs to the next WP, instead of gettin into my SUV lol. no need to excuse man..

[Bozmore 10]

hotfix released. it fixes the mission not ending issue. As for the man not getting in the SUV, idk. langgis has the same problem apparently, and he got his to go again after many reloads, although i understand this is not acceptable state.

just remember: it does say beta for a reason, however i am sorry for the mission breaking issues.

[Catchy 0]

Awsome concept of a campaign!

But heres some issues i came across:

Mission one:

- At first speech I assume with so many enemies attacking, UN soldiers with safid would just leave the place because i doubt no one would listen to a speech in that huge firefight or?

- Killed alot of enemies still they keep comming. (played for 2hrs in speech 1) and Safid dont want to enter the car event tho the objective is done.

- Restarted the mission and filled the car up with medic stuff, weapons and ammo at the start. Went to pick up Safid only to discover that he wanted to run to the next waypoint instead of entering the car. Tried to reload save like 5 times and drive to the pickup spot again with same result. End Missioned after that.

Mission two:

- Was impossible to play was having major issues with the FPS that I havent had before. Endmission, that one to and that was the end. ( My system: 3ghz dualcore, clocked to 3,4ghz. ATI radeon 5850, 4gb RAM, SSD disk.)

A suggestion might be to remove some units.

Hope you continue the work :)

thx Bozmore for your work :-)

just loaded 0.4b_hotfix and got this after "receiving": "sound intro_v01 not found" - is this "normal" meaning just the state of the beta or is there something wrong on my side (playing vanilla @official OA-beta)?

and: does removing ACE Version mean "Operation Peacekeeper No ACE.pbo" isn't compatible to ace ?

EDIT: seems to be working @ace, still ;-)

really, concept of your cp is great

Edited July 19, 2010 by langgis08

[Bozmore 10]

thank you very much for the positive feedback langgis and catchy, i was starting to wonder :) yes, the sound is just part of the beta, im just not fixing a release just to fix that one issue. Yes it is still compatable with ACE, that just pretty much took out the medic module, ill probably put it back in later, but i have enough to do already without juggling two campaign versions. I am sorry for the late reply, but i work from 8-6 in the US, so it doesnt really align well with the European time zones. Fixing the "VIP" mission (the one with the speeches) is going to be high priority in the next patch. IF i dont fix it, i will just remove it untill i do. With such large missions, it is often difficult to balance gameplay, and fps.
