Unfortunately sitting back and letting the problem work itself out did nothing and not soon after the Aziz's death many Takistani Army/Militia forces fled into the isolation of the mountains following the remaining Takistani Army officers in hopes of once again rising to power. The locals have also began to turn hostile to both the up-rising of the Taki Army/Militia, attacking Coalition military patrols and even setting up IED's to halt our efforts.

Electricleash 133 Posted July 19, 2010 Hi Devildog, just having a bash with your mission, run into a problem with the Silenced MK17 TWS, which I selected at the loadup screen. It's causing the environment not to appear in it's usual grey tones, having all black/white instead. I tried it in the editor and other missions, and they were fine, I think it's something to do with your 'ppEffect' settings in the init.sqf but I could be wrong.

PRambo 10 Posted July 20, 2010 (edited) Thanks that would be great. got half way so far but running out of ammo lol. update rescued 2 rangers and pilot got to evac and nothing happens to end mission. This was a great mission lasted quite a while too well done. hope you will update Edited July 20, 2010 by PRambo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Electricleash 133 Posted July 20, 2010 Just finished it late last night, really enjoyed it, and probably better without thermal scope. Ran dry of ammo, as did some of my team, but was nice to grab an FN FAL to complete. The whole stealth thing worked really well, enemy didn't get to fire a shot until late in the mission. As with PRambo, when arriving at the extraction, the mission didn't end. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Devil Dogs SF 13 Posted July 20, 2010 Ok, thanks for reporting the end mission bug. Expect an update today. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Devil Dogs SF 13 Posted July 21, 2010 Updated both missions, sorry it took so long I had training today. Update download and changelog added to first post. Enjoy. PS: Hopefully the Thermal scope will be fixed in next update. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Devil Dogs SF 13 Posted July 21, 2010 Sorry for triple post but another update for A Warm Welcome fixing the thermal scope which was originally just showing a pure black or white background. A Warm Welcome v1.2 Also Armaholic mirror added for Not Over Yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Devil Dogs SF 13 Posted July 31, 2010 (edited) Update (Also on first post): A Warm Welcome v1.3 Changelog [v1.3] - Used 'sideradio' instead of the messy all caps 'sidechat' Not Over Yet v1.3 Changelog [v1.3] - Used 'sideradio' instead of the messy all caps 'sidechat' - Readded the dialogue fix which I accidentally removed from last version - Made some patrols more random Next versions should have TaskHint's, but for me implementing is a real pain in the ass, but either way I thought I'd release these since it gets rid of the all caps sidechat text. Also have two missions I'm working on, one being a stealth mission where the player needs to get back to the US controlled area going through the woods in the dark night, dodging patrols and attempting to stay off the roads. The other is a joint US/Russian (Will probably never happen in real life, but it works in game xD) operation to take out a Takistani controlled area to allow Task Force Knight to push north.

PRambo 10 Posted July 31, 2010 when you update do you have to restart the mission as half way through 1.2 lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Devil Dogs SF 13 Posted August 1, 2010 I wouldn't think so, at least not for A Warm Welcome, but you will hav e to restart Not Over Yet. Armaholic mirror updated Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
