Group Manager, Loadout and Paper Doll addon

[Group Manager, Loadout and Paper Doll addon]

Updated Front page with the fixed pbo that doesn't request the userconfig.hpp and made the nice addition that you are able to order a teammate to grab saved gear from an ammocrate and it arms him not you ;)

Im so fed up of micromanaging mysquads loadouts why do they never go to the crates you want them to :confused:

[Group Manager, Loadout and Paper Doll addon]

Drop the .pbo into a folder of you're choice in the Arma directory and enable that folder as an addon. Its not a mission implemented addon in anyway thats the idea. If you need any further help in installing addons for Arma there are many a tutorial already out there.

The first Sticky covers it nicely :) http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?150428-Beginners-guide-How-do-i-install-mods-addons

Hope you guys find it useful. Its not trying to be anything major, just a super simple few features.

---------- Post added at 10:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:33 PM ----------

damn! just remembered that the addon looks for a userconfig .hpp file I left it in there as a blank encase I wanted to reference it. Cant change it today but it will CTD if not present in the Userconfig directory.

It needs to just be a blank HPP file. and directory can be obtained from launching the game once. I will update when I get a chance for it to not need this file. Will be within the next 24 hours.

[Group Manager, Loadout and Paper Doll addon]

I need to stop using spaces in everything... try the linkies now

So the group Management system basically adds some interaction with units at the other end of the mouse cursor.

its basically a point and shoot group management. So you can recruit the guy you are looking at, this makes him join your group.

Following on from that there is a global array which is basically a temporary list. You add whoever you're pointing at to this list.

From here you can then force them into a new group or promote them to a high command group providing the module is on the map.

I like sandboxing from pretty FOBs, hence the camp maxwel and then the ability to recruit/dismiss/promote guys.

Some debug features include. Attaching the Target to you so you can move them when they get stuck in random locations like camo netting or a table. Resetting their animation back to nothing so if someone gets stuck in a loop patching someone up or even in the campaign there is one mission where this was handy. (Had to move the medic away from a dead pilot) this also gives the facility to reccruit decorative guys as it kicks the AI back into life in the process by default BIS script disabled AI targeting movement and animation change ability using the "DisableAI" command.

The ammoboxes thing run a global initialization that adds paper doll as an option to all ammoboxes. Note no ammoboxes are filled with anything its important this isn't done to not cause collisions with mission defined loadouts

Also adds the option to store current loadout and then reload later. This is Aerosons script and its fantastic to be honest. I cant describe it but you should now be able to try it out. Couple of times in the campaign I choose my loadout and got dumped with a default one. This script allowed me to spawn my wardrobe (Radio Juliet 0-0-0) and then reload my kit as I had saved it and carry on.

It was very important for me not to be cheating. Self control is required yes. But mainly these allow me to play as I saw it should have. Stuck anims and stuff is also mega annoying when you forget to save...

====Changelog End ====

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------------------Post------------------------------------------------------------

I have made a few scripts for my use that I use for the single player campaign. I was missing some of my favourite features like my armory and being able to manage groups a bit.

I have 4 Parts to my scripts

• Virtual Arsenal available at all ammoboxes as standard.
  

• aeroson's fantastic Loadout management system is available at all ammoboxes. Also Big Kudos to Aeroson for a fantastic utility.
  

This allows you to save your loadout in a persistent location allowing jumping from mission to mission and loading persistent gear.

Also you can order your team to the box and it will change their gear.

There is also a wardrobe that you can spawn by using the wardrobe interface. As default Bound to the END Key

• A group management system. This uses Arrays from the mouse target mainly and is written by me.
  

It allows you to

1, Recruit the cursor target to your group.

2, add the cursor target to a global array

3, create new groups (normal and highcommand) from this array

4, grab someone's ass and drag him out of that cammo netting ;)

5, reset someone's animation state so you can recruit a decorative dude.

• Norrin's Revive Script for group members A big thanks to Norrin for this as its a great utility.
  

This feature essentially works by running norrin's revive script against your squad at mission runtime. Or when you prompt it to re-load by running 0-0-0 on the radio to "Reset Interfaces"

So this is expandable to be run when you recruit people on your travels. However the is a caveat. They have to be named in the mission editor. If placed by Zeus or randomly spawned in likely it wont work because they don't have a name. Otherwise load up Zeus and Name them, or make sure they are named in the Mission editor and everything is good.

Note Even Though the directory is named Subliminal Scripts I take no credit for the fantastic work of the other addon makers, my scripts pale in comparison and not for one second do I take for granted the time and effort gone into them.

With Regards to Norrin's revive script. Once you recruit a group member you have to reset the interfaces (0-0-0 radio) to re-load the init.sqf that goes through all members in the group and assigns them to the pool of revivable characters, otherwise they just die. Also they have to be named. Else the script cannot identify them.

[Firing Range EventHandler Workaround.]

amended original post.

[Firing Range EventHandler Workaround.]

Well I've decided I would carry on and create a couple more scripts for the range and have decided to release this, Its just a very simple firing range with a couple of quirks.

1st is that there is a blue target with some feedback on your accuracy.

2nd is that ive chucked in a few audio alerts.

Download and updates:

Very_Simple_Firing_Range

http://editing.17thmedia.com/images/a/aa/VSFR.jpg (280 kB)

Description

Very Simple firing range is exactly what it says on the tin. Its a very simple Firing Range.

It has 11 popup targets and a Feedback Target placed close to the firer. This can be moved freely within the editor and it will not effect the feedback so long as all the targets are facing in more or less the same direction.

Activate the target at the sign, chose from the easy, medium and hard presets easily creating your own also.

Also contains some sounds to mark the countdown to start, end of each round, and finish of range.

Thanks

Pop Up Targets ALPHA, by Bad Benson

Well I don't know about you guys but I've been having a nightmare with my firing range and it seems like nopop is useless at present. So... I decided it was time to learn event handlers.

So here is my first little EH script. No doubt this is useless to the masses but if it helps one or two new faces its worth a post...

Add this to the Popup Targets Init Field.

This addEventHandler ["HandleDamage", "_this execVM 'Scripts\Range\TargetHit.sqf'"];

Create the TargetHit.sqf in the required directory and adjust the above accordingly.

Mine is located in Scripts\Range\TargetHit.sqf.

One variable needs defining. This is popupTargets. Its only used as a Boolean. Define it in your unit or the init.sqf.

Within the Eventhandler TargetHit.sqf file file put:

_Unit = _this Select 0;

_selectionName = _this Select 1;

_damage = _this Select 2;

_source = _this Select 3;

_projectile = _this Select 4;

//hint format ["Unit: %1 Selection Name: %2 Damage: %3 Source: %4 Projectile: %5",_Unit,_selectionName,_damage,_source,_projectile];

_Unit setdamage 0;

if !(popupTargets) then {

_unit animate["terc",1];

Sleep 1;

_unit animate["terc",1];

Sleep 1;

_unit animate["terc",1];

Sleep 1;

_unit animate["terc",1];

} else { };

and then have a range script with popupTargets defined at the start and end. = false at start = true at end.

Example:

_inc = 0;

_count = 0;

_targets = [pt1,pt1_1, pt1_2, pt1_3, pt1_4, pt1_5, pt1_6, pt1_7, pt1_8, pt1_9, pt1_10];

_many = count _targets;

nopop=true;

{_x animate["terc",1]} forEach _targets;

hint "Setting up the Range";

sleep 2;

hint "Ready";

sleep 2;

popupTargets=false;

while {_inc<15} do

{

_rtarget animate["terc", 1];

_rnumber = floor random _many;

_rtarget = _targets select random ((count _targets) - 1);

{_x animate["terc",1]} forEach _targets;

_rtarget animate["terc", 0];

sleep 5;

if (_rtarget animationPhase "terc" > 0.1) then

{

_count = _count+1;

_rtarget animate["terc", 1];

};

hintSilent format ["Targets :%1 Hit :%2",_inc+1,_count];

_rtarget animate["terc", 1];

_inc = _inc + 1;

sleep 2;

};

sleep 3;

hint "Session Complete";

popupTargets=true;

Hope this makes sense and will fill a gap for now. Best thing about this is it leaves the hit mark on the target.

So to recap:

Put the Event Handler in Each Popup target

Put the Event Handler Script.sqf into your folder

Put the Range Script into your folder adding popupTargets=true/false at the top and bottom.

Feel free to ask questions and happy shooting

[Fast Roping Limitations]

This may be a red herring and might only be me, but I'm messing around with some old addons, mainly ADukes Helos and I cant get me chopper to fly low enough.

I remember in Arma 2 I Used to be able to make the chopper fly at practically any height. Mainly, less than 50.

I also recall in TKOH: Rearmed never being able to get an aircraft less than 50,(but I never gave it much time) checking the Arma 3 Description for FlyInHeight the range is 50 to 1000.

This is to high for fast roping is there any chance we will see the fly in height being given the ability to be set to ~30 before the fast roping elements of the full game which are ?confirmed?

Or has anyone else had any similar experiences and come up with workarounds?

Any help is much appreciated. thanks in advance guys.

[Proving Ground Porting]

Header Nonsense im guessing? Im having that issues, same as I did when I attempted to port into TKOH pre TKOH: Rearmed.

The Expansion Content is not like the default game content as far as I know. Nothing is being done wrong its just got a different kind of "Hand Shake" in the PBO headers. As far as I know...

I've spent about 4 hours now and after manually entering colors from Arma GUI parent classes it is now stable with a nice olive green.

If anyone has any ideas on what could be the cause (i'm assuming that exporting Parent Classes works without an issue in TKOH alone) please throw in your suggestions id like to get it working as it should, but for anyone who wants to save some time here we are:

[Fast roping]

Id like to bumb this, did either of you get anywhere with the Fast roping, ive been trying to get the AI to fast rope but not having the fly in height command working 50 mtrs is really restricting this!

[Help with BIS_fnc_wpWinchLoad]

Ye same here, some of these commands just are not working for me, probs im doing it wrong. Trying to Fast rope a team but cant seem to get these custom waypoints right. Also is flyinheight still in use because it doesnt seem to make a difference to the hover height of the chopper?

[Disable mission ending completely?]

It is very possible currently i have been making a mission called mercenaries chernarus GTA Style:dance: actually more mercenaries style but hey,

There are plenty of revive scripts for arma 2 that can be converted. Mine is currently working off the bat. What i must say is it will kill most systems but for yourself you will be ok if you taylor the game to your system. I find my mission dies after about 5 hours of palying time but that was in arma engine.

The only thing that really does kill it is sometimes scripts don't work the same on reload of a mission, i have found that to be the biggest hurdle. So test everything thoroughly for this leaving no real local variables open and you should be good to go. best of luck:thumbs-up:

[AI Heli cant land]

Try some of these alternatives rather than waypoints sometimes also as they work better:

http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/land

"LAND" (complete stop)

"GET IN" (hovering very low, for another unit to get in)

"GET OUT" (hovering low,for another unit to get out)

"NONE" (cancel a landing) Available since ArmA 2 57463 build.

[Helicopter Service]

Smashing job Osmo, would there be any way to put this whole service in a loop for ambiance do you think?

[Arma 3 Community Alpha - Announcement!]

well, lets just hope they don't go the same route as CC where they ask ppl to pay/pre order before they can test the alpha/beta or any other testing phase of the game. When I saw that I was blown away, why would you force ppl to pre order a game that they are testing? I mean, that is the purpose of a "test" to see if you can run the game or even like the game, from the buyers perspective. All the data feedback & the like is important from their side & needed, which they would get anyway. So I hope the alpha & beta are free to "try" & not something ppl have to pay for.

If your PC don't run it... and that doesnt make you buy a new PC... your not an arma kinda guy. :notify:

But this Alpha will be interesting. May need another 580 aswell as the dedicated BI SSD im planning.:butbut:

[More GUI, less scripts in the editor.]

"Jane's USAF (1999) and Lock On FC2/DCS Black Shark have such features. Very quick and easy to use. No minimizing, copying, pasting, or typing in countless script after script for what is essentially the most simple thing a mission should have. Likewise, a measurement tool/"ruler" that can measure the distance between any point on a map. "

If i could do half the stuff i can on arma in DCS-A10 maybe my Hotas Warthog would see some proper use.

I get the point though, I personally use RTEand Arma mission editor combined and find this very powerful, i think the devs should take some inspiration from this real time 3d editor. allows perfect palcement of objects and great Unit loadout custmization etc. and exports to the SQM with nothing but a minimize and click.

Also i think alot of you should try TKOH: Rearmed. (with arma2) alot of these features are rearing their head!

[Russian radar systems WIP]

Well after just playing the new south asia map on take on helicopters, i can really see a whole new dynamic to arma Flying is a pleasure now and these kind of addons only help. :cool:

[BAF + PMC DLC and TKOH.]

I was going to ask that actually Baraka are you sure its not just the lite models your getting.

@Jedra that's cool thanks for replying. Im sure it will be sorted by the official 1.06 patch. But gutted the forum was down on the day bought it all :)

[BAF + PMC DLC and TKOH.]

Starting to regret buying the steam TKOH but since its such a big game figures it would be easier...

and now i have no disc drive.

Well if anyone has it working with steam TKOH or devs can confirm it would be great!

[BAF + PMC DLC and TKOH.]

Sorry if this has been covered already but is the DLC compatible with TKOH.

I origionally bought the steam version of TKOH and loaded it up with arma 2 content but only the DLC was not working so i bought the Anni edition of steam for arma. (gotta support:bounce3:)

I was hoping it was an issue with the Sprocket DLC not being compatible with Steam TKOH copy which makes sense but alas neither is the Steam DLC working.:butbut:

Pretty bummed but at least i can have a wirl on the el classico arma and have a few HR maps.

My question is has anyone else got it working/is there a plan to get it working in any way.
