I am looking for some players (2-3) to play my custom missions with on the weekends on my server. I put a lot of time into my missions and try to make them as detailed as possible. I use a small list of mods and run Teamspeak while playing. Please message me if you're interested or contact me on Steam (Echo4).

Man, nobody? Really? lol

So, I'm making a cooperative multiplayer mission and am running into two problems that I need assistance with: 1. I need a simple way to be able to respawn if one of us dies. Is there a SIMPLE script or even something in-game that would accomplish this? 2. I have made custom load-outs for the enemies on the map (all stock A3 items and weapons, no add-on equipment) and my intentions were for the players to be able to loot the gear off of the enemies once they were taken out (guns, ammo, clothes, vests, ect - but more importantly the compasses, watches, binoculars, maps, ect.). When I (the game's host) loot an enemy, I can loot everything from the body. When my friend loots a body, he can't loot items like the watch, compass, binoculars, map, gps, radio, or headgear like hats. Does anyone know why is happens???? Thank in advance!

Okay, say I want to respawn with nothing other than the standard uniform. Can you post the script on here for me that I can copy and paste into my description.ext file? This is the part that I am not sure how it should look. Currently I have the revive enabled with a spawn point in-case we die, but if we die and then respawn, it starts us with the default rifleman loadout. I just want to respawn with a default NATO uniform, nothing else.

So, the items that my friend can't loot off of the enemies already show as on the "ground", not on a "body" so he can't drag them to the ground and then loot them. The items I am talking about are the watch, compass, map, gps, radio, binoculars, and stuff like hats and glasses. Any suggestions?? He can loot them off of a dead civilian, but not a dead OPFOR.

Okay, so I've been playing around with the description.ext file and pretty much have it down now. I even got the respawn to work where it respawns where we die at. Next question is if there's a way to either respawn with the exact gear/equipment that we had when we died or if there's a way to just respawn with a a pistol, two mags, and a uniform - nothing else. If I can figure out how to respawn with or without certain gear, I'd be set!! Thanks a lot for the help!

So I just have to make a description.ext file, edit it as a txt and just put this in there: author = "gadjr114"; respawn = "GROUP"; respawnDelay = 10; Then change it back to an .ext file?? Do I have to put a trigger on the map to "fire" the .ext file or does it start it automatically when the mission starts? Does the "author" name matter? Like, can I make that say whatever I want it to? Also, this won't allow the enemy AI to respawn, correct? Just BLUFOR players, right?

------------ 1. Thanks for the link to the description.ext thing, but I'm not really sure what to do with it? I just want to be able to respawn (preferably on the group leader) after 10 seconds or so once killed. Is that possible? and is it something simple? 2. Thank you for the information about having to drag the items to the ground and then pick them up. Is this just a wierd bug or is there a reason for it?

So, I've been learning a lot by trial and error in the mission editor and have made well over 20 missions now for single player. I just recently tried to play them multi-player with a buddy of mine and found out that I can't play my SP missions in MP, I have to actually convert them over to MP. Anyways, can anyone tell me how to enter the information as to game type, ect in the host screen for a MP game on a custom mission that I make? Is it something in the MP mission file or what? Thanks in advance!

After looking through this thread for awhile, I am unable to locate a link to download a version of ACE3 so I can give it a whirl. Can anyone help me out? Thanks!

I was wondering the same thing...

I can't even get into a multiplayer game. :(
