Multi-Session Operations v4.4 released
muzashi1963 replied to tupolov's topic in ARMA 2 & OA - USER MISSIONS
Hi MSO dudes. I have recently returned to MSO from domination (which I still enjoy) and I want to recognize your efforts in getting the MSO to the state it is in. It is now *closer* ;) to where I wanted it to be when I played the first releases with AAF back in yesteryear. I have a borderline PC for arma 2 in the first place, and I suffered and ranted and raged when I tried to play MSO. So thank you all for enabling me and my clanmates to play this wicked gametype. I will try to join you on skype later tonight as I have some questions. (don't we all?) vos saluto -

Thank you Carl. Working through it now. Cheers Muz -

Hmm yes, thought it was you, my mistake. Too many pages and too many posts to remember who it was exactly, possibly CarlG. Ah well. No matter. I will read through the whole thread again. Aha, I have it! It was CarlG: If you are still around Carl, How far did you get with this? I am interested in doing something similar, and if possible, would like a peek at your mission to get an idea of how you implemented the grid system. Cheers Muz -

muzashi1963 replied to Tankbuster's topic in ARMA 2 & OA : MISSIONS - Editing & Scripting
@Tankbuster, I know how you feel about the work you put in. I have modified so much now, I cannot even remember it all. I have a question for you regarding the arti system you were implementing, and your aversion to mapclick coords. Did you ever get it working with the grid system? If so, is it possible to let me have a gander at it? I have modded my arti system (including spotting rounds, Fire for Effect, Spread etc) and I would like to use something similar to what you were envisaging. (makes the spotting round more of a useful item) @Strikor, Thanks ever so much mate. I did think I had seen that somewhere, but I couldn't find it. Just love that little typos do this to us. Ha! -

Hi all. Firstly let me apologize if this has been answered, but I cannot find it. The closest I got was Nutta posting that he had a fix for this, although I do not know where to look to find the offending code. Using v2.28. (staying with it too, done way too much work on it to convert now, lol) Support buildings do not re-appear when Engineer starts the repair support building script. So you are stuck with no support buildings if they are destroyed. Help please. -

muzashi1963 replied to Tankbuster's topic in ARMA 2 & OA : MISSIONS - Editing & Scripting
Hi all, I had the same problem with scud mission on v2.28. I fixed it without using an addon, the mission (x_m7.sqf) did not have a positive outcome result coded. In other words there was NO way to win the mission. Fixed that by adding the lines in bold type. Also the Launcher would ALWAYS find it's way into the water no matter how much I moved the spawn co-ords in the default location, so I moved the site to another WATERLESS valley :p. All good now. -

muzashi1963 replied to Tankbuster's topic in ARMA 2 & OA : MISSIONS - Editing & Scripting
I have a similar query: Is it possible to monitor daytime in sidemissions and end the mission based on the time? I have tried (in dom 1.27, as I do not have OA) to no avail. I have been able to create 2 variables that select 2 mission arrays based on day or night hours, so that missions that are traditionally attempted in daylight hours, are selected for daytime, and vice versa. BUT, the missions I have selected to be Night only, are the "Officer in Kamyshovo" type. (side mission 12) No matter how I code the mission or missionsetup with: if (daytime > 6.25) then { d_side_mission_winner = -1000; // added to sidemissionwinner.sqf d_side_mission_resolved = true; } else {}; I cannot get it to work. I suspect it is due to the mission end being based on an event (officer "killed"). The officer is created and an addEventHandler is used: _sm_vehicle addEventHandler ["killed", {_this call XKilledSMTargetNormal}]; and in missionsetup.sqf: XKilledSMTargetNormal = { d_side_mission_winner = if (side (_this select 1) == d_side_player) then {2} else {-1}; d_side_mission_resolved = true; }; ANY ideas on how it may be possible to end the mission at dawn (daytime > 6.25)? Thanks -
SightAdjustment (windage+elevation)
muzashi1963 replied to gmJamez's topic in ARMA - ADDONS & MODS: COMPLETE
Hey Action Man, Thought about this, and I think what has happened is that you forgot to delete the GMJ_SA.hpp file which may be in your \Arma 2\Dta folder. Also make sure you do not have a copy of GMJ_SightAdjustment.pbo anywhere in your mod folders, or in your \Arma 2\Addons folder. BE VERY CAREFUL while working in the \Arma 2\Addons folder. -
RH Hk416 Pack ver 1.0
muzashi1963 replied to roberthammer's topic in ARMA 2 & OA - ADDONS & MODS: COMPLETE
Hi All, and RH Great mod, really I am a real nutter for these weapons. Now a few errors that I have noticed. If you use the mod with the ammo box included, there is no problem. (just doesn't load the weapons) However, when you add the weapons/ammo to a spawning (magicbox) box, in a dom mission, there are a few problems: There is no "RH_hk416glaeotech" in the config although there is in the weapons list in the config file, I suspected a typo, and corrected the spelling to "RH_hk416gleotech" and it is all good. This also occurs in the Mk18 config. "RH_Mk18glaeot", and "RH_Mk18dglaeot" become "RH_Mk18gleot", and "RH_Mk18dgleot". Also corrected and good. I think it was due to the old "copy-paste" bug as the acog variants "xx_xxXXglacog" are just before LOL. All that said, keep up the excellent work. Cheers Muz PS: I will send the updated cfg's if you want. -
cPBO will not extract?
muzashi1963 replied to TankCommander's topic in ARMA 2 & OA : BI TOOLS - TROUBLESHOOTING
Hi Tank, I had EXACTLY the same problem (in XP). I had to remove cPbo, then do a regedit and delete all the references to .pbo. Reinstalled (ran cPbo.exe and selected the assoc) and hey presto all good. Found this solution on this site somewhere. Muz -

muzashi1963 replied to Tankbuster's topic in ARMA 2 & OA : MISSIONS - Editing & Scripting
Thanks again Carl, Downloaded and installed Notepad++, searched for and found the references to MTSightedByEnemy, and the switch is "d_mt_spotted = true", so i can now trigger the flares on true. Thanks @Tankbuster, shot mate. I know it is a script. (shot means thanks btw) -

muzashi1963 replied to Tankbuster's topic in ARMA 2 & OA : MISSIONS - Editing & Scripting
Thank you Carl, However, I must point out that I am very new to this scripting thing. I can find the class, ( and I am doing this old school, with notepad, and cross referencing) but I am a complete noob as to how the classes tie into scripts. (there is no execVM in the class in question, so I am stumped): Coding and learning at the same time.:o -
Editing, Expanding and Modifying Domination
muzashi1963 replied to Tankbuster's topic in ARMA 2 & OA : MISSIONS - Editing & Scripting
Hi guys, Read through this forum, as I have been modifying (actually picking it apart) Domination for our clan. Really interesting reading. Kudos to you all for the efforts you put into this. Here is a (hopefully relatively simple) :rolleyes: question I have. It is: How do I control the initialization of the flare script so that the "enemy" only fires flares after the "Enemy has spotted you at Main target. They will now call in reinforcements" ? I cannot for the life of me find what triggers this message. It does not make sense that flares are used indiscriminantly at a site, before the enemy is aware they are under attack. Just makes the target so much more obvious.(my opinion, btw) Thanks Muz -
GMJ Sight Adjustment for ArmA2
muzashi1963 replied to noamles's topic in ARMA 2 & OA - ADDONS & MODS: COMPLETE
Good day noamles, Firstly tx for all your effort with this mod, Good work. Now, I have a weird problem in that I cannot get the rangecard buttons (arrows and weapon list buttons etc.) on the rangecard to work, so I am stuck with a blank rangecard. cannot navigate around or add new or anything. When the rangecard is minimized I can sometimes get the buttons to work, but most times not. NO other mods besides @CBA running. Arma2 V1.07 I have ensured that the rangecards and rangecard_list.txt are in the @GMJ_SightAdjustment\Addons mod folder. I have checked and re-checked that the GMJ_SA.hpp is in the Dta folder. Any Ideas? Cheers Muz [edit] Ok more info. Figured out that what is happening is that the buttons are not getting focus when the mouse is over them. The "getFocus"?? (guessing at the term, I did VB coding a long while ago) seems to be offset in some way. So what happens is that the buttons/ list boxes/ data entry fields do not get focus on mouse over. Rather I have to move the cursor down and to the right and then the buttons etc get focus. The value I have to move to the right also seems to be incremental, as the buttons on the leftside of the rangecard the (focus area) is a way to the right of the button graphic, while the right hand side button (focus area) is directly beneath the button graphic. ????? [edit] figured it out: It has to do with the way the interface size (map/ui etc) is set up. (or in this case, NOT SET UP CORRECTLY) If you use NORMAL interface size, it is ok, but if you use SMALL, or VERY SMALL etc, the mouse "gains" when moving on the map. You can check this by setting interface to small, grabbing your compass or watch or radio and moving it across the map. You will notice that the compass will travel faster than your mouse. So it may start under your mouse, but will end up to the right (if you're moving right) or to the left (moving left). This also occurs when moving up or down. Sometimes I hate this game. -
Toggleable Ghillie suit
muzashi1963 replied to James_Thornton's topic in ARMA 2 & OA : MISSIONS - Editing & Scripting
Hi Woody, I have used a variant on your, and Cyborg's, code in a modded (highly) Domination mission. I have a total of 9 snipers of different factions that can choose 3 different ghillie suits each (Woodland, Grassland, and Urban) plus their default sniper outfits. Took some lateral thinking, but it is doable. Thanks to all for the ideas.
