Got the same problem, black isn't black, redish... looks heavily faded. 8800GTX. Someone without this problem please post a screen of a black face. I have yet to see true black, just the faded red which has been mentioned.

Cheers for the quick reply, as I suspected, it was my stupidity. Forgot/didn't bother to put the description in. Whoops. Great work so far, glad to see we've got the drag/carry animations from the game. Keep it up :ok:

Was a big fan of your work on ArmA, and now getting back into mission making. I'm having problems though. I'm using the Guerilla faction as my playable units, named and listed in the .sqf, but even when I use "Man" in the units that can be and can revive, the playable units die. They go to the prone/unarmed position, but die straight away. It displays the number of lives, and 'Joining Mission' at the beginning, the Game Logic object 'Server' is present, along with the Respawn_west, Boot_Hill, and center markers. I've tried WEST, RESISTANCE, and GUER as the friendly sides, none of which work. Here's a copy of my .sqf file. Its probably something really simple that I've missed, its been a long time since I've made a map and I'm rusty as hell.

@Wolfrug I had exactly the same problem. Did everything I could, then as a final attempt I PBO'ed the folder so it packed up as another Addon. Bingo, it worked. Search google or somewhere similar for a pbo packer and unpacker, then use it to pack up the music folder with the .CPP inside so it is just like any other Addon. Place it in the OGG players addon folder and hey presto, it should work.

Roger that, I had a play around, but to no avail. Now I know what to change, I'll have another bash tomorrow. If I get any success, you'll be the first to know.

I'm not too familiar with the Config, but I'll have a poke around. Edit: Could you tell me what file I need to play around with, and what to add? I've unPBO'ed one of the file in XAM and found the config.CCP file, but I'm not sure what to add.

It kills me to say this, and I hope I'm just missing the obvious, but it doesn't seem to run with XAM.

I'd also like to know how to use the move spawn function. An example would be very helpful.

Yep, that exactly the problem. We have been trying to get the creator to implement this into the addon. So when you do leave an area, the count goes back to 0. This would make large scale missions possible. Until then, we have to stick to small scale stuff.

Everything which you have asked about can be changed in the init.sqf. Have a nose around there, and change what you need to, its very self explanatory.

Could you express that a bit more? If you can only have 40 RACS groups (some addon or something?) then that will be your problem. Other than that, it sound like a problem that we all get where if you 'activate' too many spawn areas, the yomies won't be allowed to spawn due to the 144 limit. Best wait for the creator to get back to us (if he ever does, which I hate to say, looks incredibly doubtful, despite what ben says).

Ok, how many Yomies have you got spawning in the first area? How many other RACS units do you have on the map? Do you get any errors?

@ Delta-Force I think he missed out the description file in his template, or some other important file. Un-Pbo his sample mission and copy over all the yomie files, and the init, and the description, then try. @ Foxhound My scripting knowledge gets me through most problems i encounter making a mission, but nothing of this caliber. If you have a specific problem, post it and I'll see if I can help. Its a long shot, but you could try and reach the creator directly (PM or email if you can find it?).

Yes, this would be brilliant if you can pull it off. On another note, I'm sorry to say this Andersson, but its not that impressive if you break the 144 barrier, without a body removal script its pretty useless as performance suffers dramatically. 144 yomies spawning and respawning is well over enough yomies, however, as their bodies pile up, the server will start to feel the heat. You get yomies jumping 3 feet at a time and you have no hope of hitting them, its like a slide show. Foxhound, if you could implement what you have mentioned, it would be brilliant. The original creator has already said that he won't be able to carry on with the yomies, but if someone wanted to take over, their more than welcome.

I've got a bad feeling this time, he isn't coming back. Please, please prove me wrong...

Its a relief to hear from you. For a moment there I thought you may have left us hanging. Good to hear your still around. Ok, my questions: 1. Can you make a simple body removal script that removes the dead yomies, say, 10 seconds after death. I've been playing around with yours and two other body removal scripts, but still, after nearly a week of coding, I can't get either of them to work on *spawned* yomies. 2.a) Could you post the line of code needed to "attach" a spawn area to a player, so that it constantly follows them, and therefore there are always yomies around them. Or, if that isn't possible, 2.b)Would it be possible to remove spawned yomies from a spawn area after the players have left it, so that more yomies can be spawned in another 'active' spawn area? I know this feature is supposed to be in your template and mission, but I've got some bad news, its doesn't work. Thanks again for a brilliant mod, a little more ironing out, and it will be tip-top.

At the moment it doesn't matter what kills you, you will be able to be revived. I have to say, I prefer it that way, but I can see where your coming from.

That would be very, very nice.

Sorry man. I also need help, his body removal script doesn't work, so I've tried, to no avail, to implement another. But the Yomies are in a different 'class' as other troops, so it makes the script I have useless. Its not a major thing, but with that, small scale zombie missions would be something I could do while we wait for this guy to get back to us. Its a simple defend mission, but near the end, there are so many bodies, that the whole server runs on a slideshow. The major thing that is wrong though, is the fact that the zombie don't disappear when out of sight, which makes any mission bigger than one town, impossible.

Great job once again Norrin, thanks a load.

Sorry, I can't help you with any of that I guess we'll just have to wait now

Lol, sorry to be a pain. I've seen it twice now, I know its only minor, but still a bug I'll PM you with details about my mission.

You might have to initiate the FSM files with each zombie, but if that doesn't work, I don't think it can be done. The zombies have to be linked to a spawn area, so some scripts may not work correctly if they are spawned without an area to 'patrol' or something like that

Any news on the update? Or at least a body removal script that removes the bodies after a few seconds?

Ok, I've had some problems: Generally JIP is still bugged. Some people can't be revived, others will instantly respawn where they died after a second. At the start of a mission, its fine, but when we get a few people joining, or someone crashes then rejoins, we get a few problems. A minor bug, but I'm sure it could be easily fixed, if and when you die in the water, you spawn as though you were still in the water, 'swimming' in the ground. You have to be killed then respawn again to fix it. Other than that, its working great.
