    Hi @Tankbuster first of all, thank you very much for your time on this mission.

    I want to try it (Authority Altis) on a dedicated server, but when I try to connect it shows me "you have reached the max. number of players".

    Regards.

    Hi!
    First thing - are you running any mods? Don't run ACE or CBA, they can break the mission.

    Make sure the server isn't trying to autoinit the mission. Server CFG file, I think. I use FASTER launcher if it helps
    Also, the server max players might be set to zero, also in server.cfg

    If you're having issues, let me know and we'll see if you can join my serverr/

    That works. I was never going to stumble across that solution, thank you, brother.
    Interesting point, top line of code works, bottom one gives error
      

    ["B_MBT_01_cannon_F","['Sand',1],['showBags',1,'showCamonetTurret',1,'showCamonetHull',1]"]

['B_MBT_01_cannon_F','["Sand",1],["showBags",1,"showCamonetTurret",1,"showCamonetHull",1]']

    Guys, I'm struggling with BIS_fnc_initvehicle.
    I'm spawning a randomly chosen vehicle, its class name comes from an array and the init line comes from there too.
      

    ["B_MBT_01_cannon_F","['Sand',1],['showBags',1,'showCamonetTurret',1,'showCamonetHull',1]"]

    The script gets the classname and spawns the vehicle, but the vehicle doesn't get the camonet. (it's spawned behind a flying aircraft and has a parachute attached and drifts to the ground if that's relevant)

      

    private ["_initresult"];
_cargo= createVehicle [_droptype, (_dropvehactual modelToWorld [0,-25,-10]), [],0,"FLY"];
sleep 1;
if (_initstring isNotEqualTo "") then
{
	_initresult = [_cargo, _initstring] call BIS_fnc_initVehicle;
	diag_log format ["&&&Applied init %1, %2", _initstring, _initresult];
};

     

    //17:29:08 "&&&Applied init ['Sand',1],['showBags',1,'showCamonetTurret',1,'showCamonetHull',1], true"

     

    Note that if I use the export function from virtual garage and execute that from BIS debug, the vehicle spawns complete with camo net

    OMG lol

     

    The embassy is (partly) 3686993: vn_embassy_01_02.p3d 

    (((str _x) find "sy_01") isEqualTo -1) and

    OK, so I need to find out what I was trying to filter out with that string and improve the filter. I have a vague memory that it's something on Tanoa, maybe the piles of sugar cane or something similar.

    **edit** Yeah, it's all the Tanoa stockyard conveyors and stuff. OK, I need to improve that filter

    Guys, can anyone help?

    During mission start, I use this to find all the big buildings on each map. 

    bighouses = (nearestTerrainObjects [[worldSize/2, worldSize/2], ["house", "tourism", "building", "hospital"], worldSize/sqrt 2, false, true]) select 
{
	((count (_x buildingPos -1)) > 11) and 
	(((str _x) find "pier_f") isEqualTo -1) and 
	(((str _x) find "BIS_N") isEqualTo -1) and 
	(((str _x) find "cargo") isEqualTo -1) and 
	(((str _x) find "small") isEqualTo -1) and 
	(((str _x) find "shop") isEqualTo -1) and 
	(((str _x) find "hangar") isEqualTo -1) and 
	(((str _x) find "scf") isEqualTo -1) and 
	(((str _x) find "warehouse_02") isEqualTo -1) and 
	(((str _x) find "warehouse_01") isEqualTo -1) and 
	(((str _x) find "drydock") isEqualTo -1) and
	(((str _x) find "storagetank") isEqualTo -1) and 
	(((str _x) find "addon") isEqualTo -1) and 
	(((str _x) find "slum") isEqualTo -1) and 
	(((str _x) find "crane") isEqualTo -1) and 
	(((str _x) find "containerline") isEqualTo -1) and 
	(((str _x) find "sy_01") isEqualTo -1) and 
	(((str _x) find "multistorybuilding") isEqualTo -1) and 
	(((str _x) find "hut_") isEqualTo -1) and 
	(((str _x) find "ruins") isEqualTo -1) and 

	((_x call BIS_fnc_objectHeight) > 5.6)

};// used when we need a large house with lots of positions, barricade defend etc. included barracks

    Problem is, it doesn't find the embassy on Cam_Lao_Nam.
    The object is a building as far as nearestTerrainObjects is concerned, and is within the radius of the position suppliled- - I've checked that.
    nearestterrainobjects pos is  [10240,10240] and the radius is 14481. The embassy is actually 9100m away, so it's well within range
    It fits the other criteria in the code too, it's 33m high and has 55 buildingpos in it.
    The bighouses array is populated. On CLN it has 523 objects in it, but not the embassy in Saigon.

    Am I just killing the VM with the huge radius?

    Having spent time alone with my first bite on the Covid sandwich, it seemed like a good time to get down into the mission and write some stuff.


    Mission updated to 1.26.5157.

     

    Two new secondary missions, both quite good fun.
    KIll the enemy spy sub is teased in the above post - players are tasked with destroying an enemy SDV that is reconnoitering BLUFOR assets nearby. The sub comes to periscope depth near the shore, raises scopes, takes a few pics, then submerges and relocates before coming up again. It's quite hard to complete this one. I've found MAAWS HE rockets are the best way, and they are still hard to get accurate fire in. It might be possible to 'depth-charge' the sub with grenades from a boat if you can get accurate fire on it before it dives. I've not actually tried that particular method yet - having a drone overhead to help spot will help, it can see the SDV underwater quite well. Thermal only shows the mast and periscope when it's on the surface.

    The other new secondary is called mortar smoke. Friendlies have asked for fire support in the shape of a smoke screen while they attempt to break contact with the enemy. Mk6 mortars are the way to do this. Bit easier, this one.

    Few other fixes including making services at the vehicle depot easier by increasing its radius.

     

    Full changelog in spoiler below and new files on Google drive link on first post.

    5138: Fix for AI units spawning and getting stuck inside shipping containers.

    5151: Replaced first instance of Cheetah with Sandstorm in prize array.
