Hello,
A friend and i recently started playing Arma again after a few years and im amazed by the new 3den Editor, i only knew the old one and never bothered to learn it properly. Now i wanted to create a custom coop scenario on a modded map with some mods also. Those mods are:
3den Enhanced
AGC - Advanced Garbage Collector
Automatic ViewDistance
Better Convoy (NOT USED in Scenario)
BWMod (Mainly Used for Blufor units)
CBA_A3
CUP Terrains - Core
CUP Terrains - CWA
CUP Terrains - Maps (Chernarus2020 used in Scenario)
CUP Terrains - Maps 2.0
CUP Units (Mainly Used for Opfor units)
CUP Vehicles
CUP Weapons
Enhanced Movement
Enhanced Movement Rework
JSRS SOUNDMOD
JSRS SOUNDMOD - CUP VEHICLES MOD SOUND SUPPORT
JSRS SOUNDMOD - CUP WEAPONS MOD SOUND SUPPORT
Specialist Military Arms (SMA) Version 2.7.1
Switch weapons while moving
When it comes to the way my friend connects to me (im hosting), we use Hamachi, because for whatever reason (tried everything in the book for UPnP and Port Forwarding - didnt work) i cant use anything else. Besides some hicups we managed to get over by making firewall exceptions etc. it worked perfectly for Vanilla Maps and Scenarios. Also when i first started building my Mission with the first few Tasks and Triggers i showed it to my friend and he could join no problem.
Now i finally finished my mission and wanted to try it with my friend, but he can't join. What happens is, that i host the game through Lan and on the create mission screen i select Chernarus 2020 and my Mission. When my friend joins i get the message that he connected, but he is stuck on the Stratis loading screen and can't get to the Unit Select screen. On my side he is shown grey and only after some time his ping changes from 0 to usually like 25. If i assign him myself to a unit (only two available) and start the mission he still doesnt change from the stratis screen until i actually start the Mission by pressing continue on the briefing screen and ignoring the message that not all players are ready. Once i load into the game my friend usually gets either a message that the Mission Data is being downloaded (which sometimes works and sometimes gets stuck or shows 0kbs out of 0kbs) and after downloading is stuck on "Receiving Data". If i look at his character ingame it shows his username behind the units role e.g. Rifleman (Friend).
Now we tried him getting the mission files from me directly and placing them into his mpmissions folder (including one very basic script i wrote), but no luck. Curiously when closing the hosted game and restarting it my friend can join vanilla games with missions (even little custom ones) no problem, also i build a little test mission on the same map (Chernarus2020) with just a few triggers, commands and tasks as a test and this one he can also join no problem. We don't understand what is wrong. I'll include his and mine .rpt file and also the Mission + script if anyone wants to have a look at the Scenario im trying to build.

in this drive you have the Mission and both .rpt files.
Any Help would be greatly appreciated. A few things we still haven't tried out is resetting both our routers, reinstalling the game + mods and maybe building the Mission from scratch step by step and testing when my friend can't join. Thank you.
