Pulverizer wrote me a PM: So, I'm going to be on the server or monitoring it from 19.00 GMT and see if someone will show up. Maybe I will be waiting in TS, too. Though I don't have a mic at the moment.

I've only had a quick look into this mission for now. But it really looks great, something I have dreamed about for some time now (a dynamic mission with a platoon under your command with some command engine) . I like how you put together the radio sounds from official missions, it adds a lot of immersion. Though I don't think it can be converted to different islands and addons easily?

I can definitely see it in the mission list on the server.

What about tomorrow evening, at around 19.00 GMT?

Yes, I already thought the same thing Staos because it really is a "take objective" mission (a typical raid with insertion, action on objective and extraction). It is kind of a nice idea but for the wrong type of mission. Maybe sometime I'll design a CSAR or S&D type mission where this fits in better Edit: alright, I've uploaded the mission to the server and even added it to the missions list on google with a comment?

I'm about to upload a new mission to the server. In this mission I want to disable the map for the players after the briefing when the mission starts to (hopefully) make things more interesting. You could still see the Notepad where the briefing text is in together with the gear and group screen. What do you think of that?

Exactly. There's much "blah blah.." in the article. The essential facts have been reported and it's not really worth the time to translate this quite long article.

Nice efforts Sanctuary, thanks for the update.

I need to activate Cookies just to get into the page? Morons...

I'd really fancy a WGL coop again, when there will be enough people willing to play (let's say 5 at least).

Puh, I can't say for sure as I am busy with reallife these days although there are only some minor works to do on the mission (completing the intro for example).

Wow, how often can one say "grandioso", "incredibile" and "grandissimo" in 30 seconds? This is not bad either: Gooooo[...]oooooo[...]ooool - lol

Thank you CAPTUSNR, I appreciate your feedback. I posted another Falklands mission in the Ofpec.com beta forum, it is called Mount Longdon. It features the Command Engine of CoC, the player has command over 3 platoons of British paras... And I have another mission on the Argentine side which uses the Handsignal command system, too. I have not released it yet; the mission takes place one day after the "Mount Longdon" mission but the mission plot is not really related to it (except for the historical background obviously).

Teamkill/Friendly Fire? Shame on you Sputnik

Counter attack in the mission "Rebel Extermination" getting destroyed by ZSU (manned by Perkele).

Captured BMP crewed by Danoffski (gunner) and jäger (driver) firing it's AT-3 at a stationary T-80 in Arudy... ...and missing badly... ...engaging enemy infantry with the coax... http://img187.imageshack.us/img187....MG] ...destroying another T-80 in a close fight... http://img206.imageshack.us/img206....MG] ...and finally the BMP gets destroyed by it's own crew with an RPG. http://img267.imageshack.us/img267....MG]

I solved my problem with Ofp Watch. I found out that I had the SPI mode of my router enabled what prevented Ofp Watch from working correclty

For the past 2 weeks or so Ofp Watch does not work correctly. Neither the server status nor the players on it are shown and connecting to the server/launching Ofp does not work, too. I know from some other people who have similar problems with Ofp Watch, so I think problems on the client side can most likely be ruled out. Who of you has similiar problems and has a suggestion to fix the problem?

There is everything you need: http://www.main.thechainofcommand.net/

I'd really fancy some platoon sized missions like these myself, but the coop nights definitely lack the (amount) of players for that kind of thing. And honestly I don't think that the 'core' players would like to command AI squads, because even with some more players you could not cope with at least some friendly AI running around in the mission...

I'm digging this thread up because I want to customize this excellent mission to my favorite addons... I want to add civilians to the mission, I think they have to be a major part of this mission. Now I don't know if civilians should be added statically inside the editor or via DAC zones. There are 4 group names used in the \civilian\prep_civilian.sqs (named "civ_group1" to "civ_group4"). I assume that each of these group names should correspond to the saved units of a DAC zone for civilians, is that correct? Is there anything more you need to do to get civilians into the mission apart from creating the DAC zones and saving its units to civ_group1,civ_group2,civ_group3 and civ_group4 ?

So you have no troubles seeing the CiA server status and players on it in Ofp Watch? I have no clue why it won't work anymore for me. I've installed Hamachi 2 or 3 weeks ago, maybe this is what is causing trouble?

Bump: Does anyone have any infos on this subject?

Command bar messed up big time:

The video is awesome, it really makes me want to play Arma again. I wish my rig would live up to it...
