Different/custom units should be fine with recruitment if you are using v4.31. If not please submit an issue on our dev heaven page. For spawn at 0,0... You need to ensure you place a respawn marker for each faction at the base. E.g. Respawn_bis_us or respawn_bis_baf etc respawn_west should also work. Construction materials probably need to be airlifted if they don't fit in vehicles. This is R3F functionality, not MSO. CASEVAC looks for helicopters in the config for the players faction. If its not working, submit an issue and we can force a default (prob Chinook) No aircraft AI works on Clafghan, this is a CLAfghan issue, not MSO. We recommend that you run MSO as a dedi server on your PC rather than hosted.

I'm not sure any of these are actually bugs, just the way it is. PO2 will spawn enemy convoys regardless of the mission param (that is for ambient enemy convoys when not using PO2). Player restrictions, if you are an admin you pretty much can do anything. You have to be a team leader to request missions.

You should be able to load objects into containers or vehicles as we use the R3F set of scripts. This is enabled by default. Should be wheel-scroll menu on objects to load into. Recruitment options should work fine, are you running SP, hosted or dedi? Takes about 15-20 secs to load recruitment options. Patrols Ops - requires your unit to be in the team leader array in PO2. This should be fine for default units. What units are you using as team leader? Are you using the default MSO missions? CASEVAC - Should not engage enemy, but I have seen this before. They should just fly back to base.

Krem, Are you saying that Air is just hovering around without getting deleted? Or you shoot them down, they crash but the wreck doesn't get deleted?

http://www.ausarma.org/blog/4/entry-21-wip-improving-enemy-population-in-mso-v43 Krem, should be the same, check the air isn't generated by ZORA or Convoys. Can you post a ticket?

What Is MSO? Multi Session Operations is a modular mission framework. Essentially it is a collection of scripts that create a persistent, living scenario in which the player operates. Unlike regular missions that have pre-scripted objectives, MSO procedurally generates enemy forces that are unpredictable and (semi) random. Players have to think beyond the mere tactical level and build up the intelligence picture, carrying out recce patrols to identify enemy locations and conduct deliberate attacks to neutralise them. Everything is persistent, including equipment, ammo, vehicles and even player lives. MSO is designed specifically for Dedicated Server use. Recommended Settings / Peformance Due to the dynamic nature of MSO and its reliance on scripting to generate ambience and dynamic enemy, it can be resource intensive. The default settings are the recommended ones for most maps (although I would recommend All Factions for ambient air if used). If you have a large map with lots of locations (Chernarus) or a large number of players you will want to consider disabling or dialling down ambience or enemy. If you enable ALL the modules, please do not ask us why it performs so poorly. Credits The MSO team would like to welcome HighHead and WobblyHeadedBob to the dev team!

https://dev-heaven.net/issues/29132 Telson, was this a premonition? MSO is all about persistence (if you didn't know), we hope to at some point move to a DB implementation and learn from DayZ on scaling the experience...

Contact Reezo! ;) Or you can disable EOD in the mission params. TUP_IED gives you similar immersion for IED etc. ---------- Post added at 11:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:46 PM ---------- Dingbat reported that the hellfires were not causing damage (when not using Mando) so we only changed the round used by UAV - switching shell for Hellfire. OLD > [LDL_logic_object,[0,0,0],_pos,1,"Sh_125_HE",0.1]spawn LDL_hellfire; NEW > [LDL_logic_object,[0,0,0],_pos,1,"M_Hellfire_AT",0.1]spawn LDL_hellfire; Not sure how that changes the guidance?

Now fixed in v4.31 - released on our Dev-heaven files page.

Krem I personally tested this and it worked fine for me. Can you post a ticket if you can repro? Are you using Mando?

Yes, reproduced this. Will post a fix in the next 24 hours. Thanks for the feedback, I suspect it maybe the units used in the linger mission, as this functionality works for other missions.

Bl1p You need the EOD mod. The scripts are there to "enhance" EOD if you are running the mod. This is all tested and working fine.

sw0p, PersistenDB is something we are looking at - its in the feature requests on Dev Heaven. At the moment the v4.3 release will be fixing some bugs. v4.4 will hopefully be focused on improving performance.

Has anyone actually got the EOD Loudspeaker working on a dedi server? I know the function is there etc, but does it actually clear civilians? It doesn't appear to work for me. It looks like the code to clear civs runs locally on the client and not the server?

I've done some more testing of this. Loving this addon. Would love to be able to make it more extensible (i.e. use \ in front of config stuff). Here are the issues I see so far... 1. CRM events can spawn when and where player spawns, sometimes leading to death (i.e. Ambush) 2. I get errors/issues on some events involving civilians moving to/from buildings on dedi server - this fills the RPT with errors stating _house is undefined. Also the riot script crashes now and then with _tirepile undefined. 3. Logging can be a bit annoying 4. Have had a couple of crashes involving CIM 5. CRM events shouldn't spawn when player is flying over town/location Nielsen, can we get permission to carry on developing this addon?

sorry to hear that. We all run similar pc specs and have no such problems running MSO. Sounds like there is something wrong with your config rather than the mission. As you say PO2 runs poorly too. I would skip over to the troubleshooting thread. Good luck tup

"Used my dedicated server to load MSO ACE at Takistan with @eod. After spawning at base (US), one IED just spawned 5-10 meters from me. BOOOM. " Did you start the mission with players at the US base? EDIT: I have fixed this issue, it will be part of MSO v4.3

Ok so checklist: 1. @EOD on dedi server 2. @EOD on client 3. EOD integration turned ON in MSO mission parameters. EDIT: OK check that, just see that addweaponcargo only works on clients.... hmmm. Apparently I need to use addWeaponCargoGlobal. OK fixed and will be part of the 4.3 release due at the end of march.

Should be in Acre box, ace ruck box or basic weapons boxes. Make sure you ave turned on EOD integration in mission parameters.

Did you turn the PO2 module on? Did you check both FOBs on CLAfghan?

Please make sure you grab v4.21, provides key fixes for the PO2 module.

HH, You tha man, great job on this. So, if I script the placement of an M1130 near the ammo marker (which should be present in all sqms) then it should just work? Also noticed some overlap between PO2 and MSO: - Auto Detect ACE to add ACE weapons to weapons box (we had this in dev) - Auto Detect ACRE to add radios to weapons box - Mission adjustable Start Time - Depolyable Mobile HQ - Players can respawn at Base on Death - Players can respawn at Deployed MHQ on Death - Players can move to Deployed MHQ on JIP - Players can field repair vehicles - Players keep gear after respawn - Players get notified of a new task - Loadable Ammoboxes - Ace weapon boxes - Alternate Wounding System to ACE - First Aid for all players - Ability to apply First Aid to Self between certain thresholds - Ambient IEDs - AI recruitment - Liftchoppers can lift vehicles - Vehicles can be repaired and rearmed - Added extra Logistics for Static Weapons, Defences and ammoboxes Are we removing any redundancy here? Tup ---------- Post added at 06:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:28 PM ---------- This is what I added to the PO2 init.sqf to place an M1130 // If no HQ then create one if (isNil "HQ") then { private ["_radiomarkers"]; _radiomarkers = ["ammo","ammo_1"]; { private ["_pos","_newpos"]; if !(str (markerPos _x) == "[0,0,0]") then { _pos = markerPos _x; _newpos = [_pos, 0, 20, 2, 0, 0, 0] call BIS_fnc_findSafePos; HQ = "M1130_HQ_unfolded_Base_EP1" createVehicle _newpos; diag_log format ["Creating Patrol Ops MHQ at %1", _newpos]; }; } foreach _radiomarkers; }; This was placed above this bit... if(isNil "HQ") then { //make Check-in Action on MHQ available for all players and add action locally (for JIP); HQ = nearestobject [getmarkerpos format["respawn_%1", playerSide],"M1130_HQ_unfolded_Base_EP1"]; };

No. IED needs to be initialised in the various init.sqf, description.ext and modules.hpp files etc. You may just want to copy everything over... We have some bug fixes coming too for the RC, hoping Wolffy can post a newer version today/tomorrow. ---------- Post added at 04:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:25 PM ---------- Guys, wrt PO2, Is there anything that needs to be added to a stock MSO sqm? If so, can we script it so that we don't have to update each and every sqm? Just testing PO2 and i've no way of getting tasks allocated to me? I'm using the stock MSO Zarg mission from MSO 4.1 with the latest 4.2RC code. Tup

INTEL has little server side impact, markers and triggers run locally to the client. Reezo, I haven't witnessed any respawn or JIP issues, I believe they were fixed in the add-on version? For Reezo EOD you have to place stuff in the editor, depending on how you do this will decide on how much impact it has server side. That is why TUP_IED auto places EOD IED etc. All the settings are the same across missions. If I was you I would test different settings and see what the logs state in terms on numbers of AI.

You should check our editors guide (linked to on the first page) Markers - Blue - secured by BLUFOR. Green - Gue spotted at location, Red - OPFOR spotted at location. White - status unknown. Essentially this represents the intel you are getting from BLUFOR AI and Civs. I don't personally use Insurgency Markers so don't know. 20-25 players is safe with conservative settings. 5 days is the maximum we have tested to. ARMA typically won't run much longer than that. CLAfghan doesn't have many locations so you will want to turn EN Pop up a bit - check the server logs, try to keep AI at no more than 140. Make nomad a manual save thing, unless players have connection issues. There has been reports of the Beta crashing after a few hours. Don't run WICT for any long period of time. Consider turning off Terror Cells too if you don't need them. 70 players is possible but with things like NOMAD turned off and ambience turned down - this is in the realms of extreme though. We should be releasing TUP_IED shortly, BL1P and a few others are testing at the moment. I don't want to release anything that hasn't been tested properly for MP play. Cheers, Tup
