@W0lle small bug report... I believe it's mission 33 in CWC (the one where the downed pilot has to escape and egress): none of the Russian sub-titles show up, so it's not clear what you're supposed to do exactly (go into the tent). There's also nothing in the diary. I thought I remembered in the original game there was a note about using the North Star to navigate through the woods. In the A3 version, it's not clear which direction to go to trip the trigger. I've really been enjoying slowly playing through these. I haven't played CWC since the original OFP, and the extra A3 abilities really do make it more fun. I'm looking forward to starting Resistance when I finish this campaign.

Double-tap.

I've successfully integrated this into an addAction of the player and have added some additional elements like comms and a random attack vector, but I think I've exceeded my ability in trying to get this to work with onMapClick. Is anyone able to assist? For now, I'm just running the above addAction in the Player's init, which is fine for testing. @beno_83au thanks again for this script. It's the gift that keeps on giving. The fact that we don't have all of the attack options built into the vanilla CAS module is odd, but your script makes that a non-issue.

I've had a similar issue lately in other maps. I believe Kujari was one of them (so a completely different set of map assets). It seemed like the issue would be less if I reduced the total number of assets (units, vehicles, etc) that were running scripts in the mission, but that might have just been a coincidence.

I was trying to not have to use sideRadio because my understanding was that it required you to pre-generate any chat radio messages in an external file and not inside the editor. Using one of the sideChat commands in a trigger is just easier to edit when I have pre-made triggers that I'm editing. If I'm mistaken, I welcome the correction. However, I did try using playSound3D, and that did work because it allows me to specify the path. I don't see a way to do that in the Wiki for playSound. I'm not sure if playSound3D will cause issues in MP, but since I just make my own missions for SP, I guess this will work for now. Thanks for the help.

I've found previous threads/posts where various people have mentioned how they play the various crypto beep and radio static sounds when using playSound. However, the various methods I've seen them use in the past doesn't seem to be working and it gives me a "sound not found." I can playSound other SFX sounds, but when I've tried to play the various sounds like "in2a" or "out2a" or "squelch," they don't work. Did these sounds get a name change? Are they located somewhere else that I need to call them differently? I've been reading through the Wiki and older posts, but the answer has eluded me.

Another dumb question... It seems my configs that I've made, which were based off of another third-party sound config, is causing a dependency in a mission. The other third-party's addon is not causing a dependency. Is there a secret to not letting that happen?

To follow up on my second question in case someone comes along with the same one... I finally found the answer thanks to a post by @da12thMonkey For vanilla addons, use: requiredAddons[] = {"A3_Data_F_Enoch_Loadorder"};

Oh for crying out loud. I must have been staring at it for too long and completely missed that. Thanks, it packed.

I'm trying to make the vanilla SPAR weapons inherit the sounds from NiArms. I'm using a template config that I successfully got to work for another sound config mod (making the mod M4CQBR use NiArms sounds), but when I try and compile the SPAR config, it's throwing an error stating: "line 18: /cfgWeapons/: ';' encountered instead of '{'". Ironically, line 18 is a "{" symbol. Here is the config. I'm sure I've missed a syntax, but I can't figure out what it is. Any help? #define _ARMA_ class cfgPatches { class gator_SPAR16_niasounds { author = "gatordev"; units[] = {}; weapons[] = {}; requiredVersion = 0.1; requiredAddons[] = {""}; }; }; class Mode_SemiAuto; class Mode_Burst; class Mode_FullAuto; class cfgWeapons { class UGL_F; class Rifle_base_F; class arifle_SPAR_01_base_F: Rifle_base_F; { class EGLM: UGL_F { class Single: Mode_SemiAuto { sounds[] = {"StandardSound"}; class StandardSound { closure1[] = {"hlc_core\sound\GL\GL_striker",1,1,10}; closure2[] = {"hlc_core\sound\GL\GL_striker",1,1,10}; soundClosure[] = {"closure1",0.5,"closure2",0.5}; soundSetShot[] = {"NIA_GL_Shot_SoundSet","NIA_GL_Tail_SoundSet"}; weaponSoundEffect = "DefaultRifle"; }; }; }; }; class arifle_SPAR_01_blk_F: arifle_SPAR_01_base_F { changeFiremodeSound[] = {"\hlc_wp_ar15\snd\ar15_selector",1,1,8}; drysound[] = {"\hlc_wp_ar15\snd\ar15_trigger",1,1,10}; class Single: Mode_SemiAuto { sounds[] = {"StandardSound","SilencedSound"}; class BaseSoundModeType { closure1[] = {"\hlc_wp_ar15\snd\ar15c_close",1,1,10}; closure2[] = {"\hlc_wp_ar15\snd\ar15c_close",1,1,10}; soundClosure[] = {"closure1",0.5,"closure2",0.5}; weaponSoundEffect = "DefaultRifle"; }; class StandardSound: BaseSoundModeType { soundSetShot[] = {"NIA_AR15_NEW_Shot_SoundSet","NIA_carbine_Tail_SoundSet"}; }; class SilencedSound: BaseSoundModeType { soundSetShot[] = {"NIA_sbr_silencerShot_SoundSet","NIA_sbr_silencerTail_SoundSet"}; }; }; class FullAuto: Mode_FullAuto { sounds[] = {"StandardSound","SilencedSound"}; class BaseSoundModeType { closure1[] = {"\hlc_wp_ar15\snd\ar15c_close",1,1,10}; closure2[] = {"\hlc_wp_ar15\snd\ar15c_close",1,1,10}; soundClosure[] = {"closure1",0.5,"closure2",0.5}; weaponSoundEffect = "DefaultRifle"; }; class StandardSound: BaseSoundModeType { soundSetShot[] = {"NIA_AR15_NEW_Shot_SoundSet","NIA_carbine_Tail_SoundSet"}; }; class SilencedSound: BaseSoundModeType { soundSetShot[] = {"NIA_sbr_silencerShot_SoundSet","NIA_sbr_silencerTail_SoundSet"}; }; }; }; class arifle_SPAR_01_khk_F: arifle_SPAR_01_blk_F { changeFiremodeSound[] = {"\hlc_wp_ar15\snd\ar15_selector",1,1,8}; drysound[] = {"\hlc_wp_ar15\snd\ar15_trigger",1,1,10}; class Single: Mode_SemiAuto { sounds[] = {"StandardSound","SilencedSound"}; class BaseSoundModeType { closure1[] = {"\hlc_wp_ar15\snd\ar15c_close",1,1,10}; closure2[] = {"\hlc_wp_ar15\snd\ar15c_close",1,1,10}; soundClosure[] = {"closure1",0.5,"closure2",0.5}; weaponSoundEffect = "DefaultRifle"; }; class StandardSound: BaseSoundModeType { soundSetShot[] = {"NIA_AR15_NEW_Shot_SoundSet","NIA_sbr_Tail_SoundSet"}; }; class SilencedSound: BaseSoundModeType { soundSetShot[] = {"NIA_sbr_silencerShot_SoundSet","NIA_sbr_silencerTail_SoundSet"}; }; }; class FullAuto: Mode_FullAuto { sounds[] = {"StandardSound","SilencedSound"}; class BaseSoundModeType { closure1[] = {"\hlc_wp_ar15\snd\ar15c_close",1,1,10}; closure2[] = {"\hlc_wp_ar15\snd\ar15c_close",1,1,10}; soundClosure[] = {"closure1",0.5,"closure2",0.5}; weaponSoundEffect = "DefaultRifle"; }; class StandardSound: BaseSoundModeType { soundSetShot[] = {"NIA_AR15_NEW_Shot_SoundSet","NIA_sbr_Tail_SoundSet"}; }; class SilencedSound: BaseSoundModeType { soundSetShot[] = {"NIA_sbr_silencerShot_SoundSet","NIA_sbr_silencerTail_SoundSet"}; }; }; }; class arifle_SPAR_01_snd_F: arifle_SPAR_01_blk_F { changeFiremodeSound[] = {"\hlc_wp_ar15\snd\ar15_selector",1,1,8}; drysound[] = {"\hlc_wp_ar15\snd\ar15_trigger",1,1,10}; class Single: Mode_SemiAuto { sounds[] = {"StandardSound","SilencedSound"}; class BaseSoundModeType { closure1[] = {"\hlc_wp_ar15\snd\ar15c_close",1,1,10}; closure2[] = {"\hlc_wp_ar15\snd\ar15c_close",1,1,10}; soundClosure[] = {"closure1",0.5,"closure2",0.5}; weaponSoundEffect = "DefaultRifle"; }; class StandardSound: BaseSoundModeType { soundSetShot[] = {"NIA_AR15_NEW_Shot_SoundSet","NIA_sbr_Tail_SoundSet"}; }; class SilencedSound: BaseSoundModeType { soundSetShot[] = {"NIA_sbr_silencerShot_SoundSet","NIA_sbr_silencerTail_SoundSet"}; }; }; class FullAuto: Mode_FullAuto { sounds[] = {"StandardSound","SilencedSound"}; class BaseSoundModeType { closure1[] = {"\hlc_wp_ar15\snd\ar15c_close",1,1,10}; closure2[] = {"\hlc_wp_ar15\snd\ar15c_close",1,1,10}; soundClosure[] = {"closure1",0.5,"closure2",0.5}; weaponSoundEffect = "DefaultRifle"; }; class StandardSound: BaseSoundModeType { soundSetShot[] = {"NIA_AR15_NEW_Shot_SoundSet","NIA_sbr_Tail_SoundSet"}; }; class SilencedSound: BaseSoundModeType { soundSetShot[] = {"NIA_sbr_silencerShot_SoundSet","NIA_sbr_silencerTail_SoundSet"}; }; }; }; }; class cfgMods { author = "gatordev"; timepacked = "1656370171"; }; I'm also not sure what I need to put in the "Required Addons" section for this particular config. In the previous working config for a different mod, the only mod I put in there was the one I was changing the sound for.

Also, I believe the actual non-ACE supported "ACE No Medical" WS addon was updated today as well. I'm not really clear on why that's "better" than the standard "OEM" ACE No Medical addon, but here we are.

@TeTeT I'm sorry you're not getting much (or any) response here. I'm not huge into the recreation of the CVW launch/life, but know that I (and I'm guessing many) really appreciate your continued efforts. It's a shame that the forums have grown so quiet when it's clear there's still plenty of creation going on in the Workshop (and only 33.9% pirated!!!...I keed!). Thanks for your continued effort and thanks for bringing us both a carrier AND an amazing Superhornet.

I believe ACE removed it because it's now integrated into the newest version of ACE, along with GM, WS, and I believe all of RHS.

Thank you so much, @EO . A bit of a feedback report on Tanoa... I've only played with it a little bit (haven't gone back to some missions with more rain), but I was finishing up making a mission which starts at post-dawn with only a few very early morning cumulus clouds. As the mission progresses, it turns into a running firefight into the hills east of Tuvanaka as the sun is rising and the clouds increasing slightly. The effect of having lower clouds, but not a ton of them, and the vanilla sky of the sunrise looked fantastic, and pretty realistic given we're talking about a 10 year old game. So thank you again for making these up.
