  1. Which version is supposed to work in MP without the people joining having to download the mod and install it? Im using the script one and its saying, "you cannot play/edit this mission, it is dependent on downloadable content that has been deleted.artillery_ssp" for my friend trying to join my map with the artillery system in it. I gave him the script and addon version and neither are providing different results when he tries to join.


  2. Hey, I swapped out the Addon version for the Script version and thats working much better. Sometimes though when I merge your mission into mine it sometimes makes the unit not work, it always say check range, but I figured out that I can just delete it all and merge again and got 2/3 of the pre set artillery, from your mission, working..so that's more than good enough for me =). The script version is a good deal better than the Addon version to me as well so far. Especially since Multiplayer works. I was also wondering if you still need your ARMA 2 Shortcut edited with ...-applaunch 3390-mod=@Artillery_SSP

    in the script version? It didn't say so in the read me. I saw some other mods that require you to edit the shortcut as well, I have yet to try and test to see if you can add two or more lines to it.


  3. Sorry I should of specified all those before.

    To your first question, Yes I copied all the files to my mission before exporting it and it did work in the editor and load correctly. Yes Im using the Addon version and I'm using windows XP. Also the Artillery was working in the preview for the editor as well. In reference to what I said before the Editor was giving me the same error, I am now getting when I try to host in MP, because I was not running the correct edited shortcut with your instructions about the command line. Hope that makes sense.


  4. Yeah more problems, sorry lol. I just looked through every page of this topic and found nothing on it. BUT when I export my mission to a multiplayer mission, when I try to host a server to make the map it gives me this error, " Include file artillery_ssp\radio_dialog.hpp not found" and crashes the game. It did this to me in the editor when I tried to load a map with the arty in it, if I ran a ARMA 2 shortcut that was not edited with your line from the instructions. This however is crashing when I'm trying to host, I get to the part where I enter the server name and password and players and hit okay and then it crashes and gives me that error. I have no even loaded a map or anything, so that confuses me badly. I can't even host right now. Any help? please


  5. Hey Soccerboy, thanks for the response, I had everything right and it was still telling me check range for everything but then I just merged my mission with yours and left my same player unit and used that and everything worked. Mortars seem to have a very short range though. No idea why it didn't work though, everything looks exactly the same. I've noticed sometimes it just doesn't work and you have to delete all the artillery and modules and the player and then do it all again and then it might work.


  6. Hey, thanks for the response. Got it working and used your mission demo to figure some stuff out, like the radio alpha trigger..which im not entirely sure what it does but it does seem to make the radio work. Took that from your mission and copied it to the one I'm using. Anyways, I have a M119 synchronized to a art module and then the module synced to your module. The radio menu pops up fine and all that and I can set a target but no matter where I put the M119 it says.. "Radio message arty_outside_target not found". Any idea's? I looked through this forum and only one other person had this problem and he just copied your stuff from the demo and it fixed. I checked all that stuff from your demo and it looked exactly the same. Any idea's?


  7. Hey I know this is dumb but how do I do this step in your readme..."give it a name and you MUST tell the system which name you gave it in the "options.sqf"." How do I edit the SQF? I know zero about scripting and have just been making simple missions with what the editor has provided. I tried searching for this, since im sure its at least in these forums once, but for some reason it came up with nothing. I've got the rest of the steps so far to make it work..just stuck on that.


  8. Yah I have it in that folder froggyluv but its not showing up on my *My Missions* or Scenarios..its just the base normal stuff. Are you saying I need to change the format for it to show up on any mission list ingame? Im not trying to put it in the editor, just play it..and I can't figure out how to get to show up anywhere.


  9. Anyone know why this mission won't show up in my "my missions" or scenarios? I put it in my C:\Documents and Settings\User\My Documents\ArmA 2\missions and it doesn't show up on my list..Honestly the only missions I make that I can get to show up that I've tried so far only show up in multiplayer. I would love any idea's or help on this, so far i've posted this problem on this and troubleshooting and 0 responses over a couple days.


  10. Hi, my first problem is that none of my user created missions, downloaded or created by myself, are not showing up in the scenarios or my mission folder ingame. All of my Multiplayer missions are showing up though.

    My second problem is that in all the scenarios, and my recent user created missions, no one is showing up on the map. Squad Leader commands, as in a move waypoint, do not show up nor do any icons for ANY AI, or even empty vehicles..nothing. The map just stays the same and only shows Markers, that is it..I just recently reinstalled this game and have noticed this but do you not recall this problem from the first time I had the game installed. Any Idea's? Thanks to anyone who reads or replies to this.


  11. I saved the description.ext to my mission folder for the mission and when I tried to save it in in the editor it crashed..do I need to make a seperate folder inside of the mission directory? What I had it in was.. C:\Documents and Settings\SMC\My Documents\ArmA 2 Other Profiles\Lokai\missions\Operation%20Sand%20Runner.utes

    and all I had was the respawn=3 in the description.ext

    Also, I may have done this wrong, but from what you said I created a trigger that I named capture with "respawn_west" setMarkerPos getMarkerPos "MarkerName" on act. I also created a marker called "respawn_west". Are the quotations supposed to be there in these lines? I tried doing it without them just to check it out but it wouldn't even create the trigger.
