Replicant

No, there were no other tasks, as soon as I left the village it completed the task (but I was outside the village when it completed), and then erased the marker. I will try bribing them. Thanks. :)

Thanks, this fixed the problem, now I have a new one. I think it's a script bug. I went to the next village over and tried to do a task for them too, and they also wanted water. As soon as I got out of town (heading back to the first village to get the construction truck) I got a message saying the task was completed, it gave me 30pts, etc. Problem is, when I went back with the truck, and placed a water barrel in town (I've placed 2 or 3 now just to be sure) it wouldn't complete the task (and no purple marker/message is on the map anymore saying "Place water barrel"). When I go back to talk to the villagers to ask for a new task, it says "You haven't completed the current task yet". Is there anyway to erase current task and start over? Unfortunately I had saved the game and I don't see anyway to go back. If so, I'm stuck now with a village I can't improve relations with and I keep getting enemies showing up here/spawning. :( Thanks :)

Can someone help me out? I just grabbed this scenario today, first time player. It looks great but I'm having a lot of difficulty. I have a task to bring a barrel of water to a village. It gave me a hint to bring my construction truck near. So I did, and build a camp in the village. Now what? I see no option to do anything with water, and the Shift+1 menu doesn't appear to function to open any sort of "camp purchase screen" at all. Shift+2, Shift+3, Shift+5 all seem to work fine. Is this a bug, or am I missing something obvious? Thanks. :)

This mission is OUTSTANDING. Honestly it's the only thing so far that has made buying ARMA 3 worthwhile.

Thanks for that link. I never did get it to work but fortunately one of my squad had a couple anti-tank rockets so I killed the AA with those. Now I'm stuck on destroying the crashed C-130. I've placed 6 satchels along the plane's right side and demoed them. Nothing. I reverted save and tried putting 6 INSIDE the airplane (not easy to move in there) and demoed those. Nothing again. I've shot it with a remaining anti-tank round AFTER blowing 6 satchels along the side. Still nothing. Any clues? Thanks again :)

Great campaign so far. Can anyone help me with how to use the air support console? I found the laser designator on the bikes, but I have NO IDEA how to use this air support console. I point at a target in its map, click the button for laser guided bombs, and the jets fly in and bomb somewhere nearby. I have lased the target before, during, and after hitting the laser guided bomb button. I wish I could find some solid documentation for this console (and I have looked).

I can't seem to get this to run. I've tried everything I can think of. I'm running v1.59, am using a loader to run combined ops with the campaign files in "Campaigns" folder of ARMA 2, and the loader is running @duala @mctierone @bb_oa_mercs_v1 and @bb_units_updatev5_schnapsdrosel. Whenever I try and start the campaign, it just kinda freezes and keeps hitting the harddisk continuously. I thought at first maybe it would just take a min or two to load but it basically just locks up and I have to cntl-alt-delete and the task manager says it's not responding. I tried the "RPT" idea in the post above but it didn't reveal anything meaningful to me. Anyone have any ideas why I can't get it to run. I've verified that all the addons are the most recent. My best guess is maybe something is wrong with my @duala, as the install directions for duala seem to be at odds with what's actually included in the package. It says "1. Unpack folders @duala, @cba and @glt_missilebox to your ArmA2 root folder" although there is no @cba or @glt_missilebox in there. So I just copied the @duala folder, as is, into the ARMA 2 folder.....inside the @duala folder are two files (mod.cpp and mod.paa) and a folder named "Addons" full of a bunch of .pbo and .bisign files.... All of the addons and the campaign file are in the ARMA2 folder (not Arrowhead) though I am running combined ops. Any ideas? EDIT: For no particular reason it seems to be working now, will update if that changes...(?)

I am in the first mission of Campaign 4 (non-ACE version), where you are supposed to take out an insurgent camp and a motor pool. Supposedly you have air support, but whenever I try to call them in on the motor pool, they just fly over twice, drop no bombs, and RTB. Is there something I'm missing here? I select Air Strike --> Fixed Wing --> LGB (something like that) and it asks me to mark the spot on the map. I click the map, it marks the spot, sends in what looks to be an F-22, and it makes a couple pretty high speed passes and heads home. Help please?
