Sorry if this is obvious or already mentioned somewhere (although I have had an extensive google of this), is there a way to disable the magic map markers? By which I mean the map markers drawn by the player and send to everyone's map via side, group or vehicle etc. I am assuming that the 'copy map' function is similar ye olde ACE 2 where the markers could be disabled and you would have to walk up to your squad member in order to obtain his map markers that were drawn. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

100% sure its objects, we tested everything! lol Us at 3CB be a scientific bunch... sort of

Hey guys, great mod! Some observations with regards to the medical facility during my testing with a Nimitz based mission, static object medical facility works on land, not when height is set to above the nimitz deck. Vehicle medical facility works in air and on land but as soon as it is flown over or landed on the nimitz deck the advanced heal option greys out, as soon as ship is not below us, option appears again. I hope this is something that can be fixed, I really hope to have a medical bay on the ship to fly casevacs to ;) Cheers guys and like I said, great mod and some even greater potential EDIT Upon further testing, it seems that the advanced treatment menu is greyed out when passing over ANY object. We flew over Kavala, every house, tree, rock and placed objects too, turn the option off. Hope this helps! So this obviously explains my problem when the medical facilities are placed over/on the nimitz

I've still got no luck with CQB spawning on the dedi, got an email address for the rpt file? Did I read somewhere that you may have sorted it for the next release?

sorry I've been away for a few days, I'll try and grab that RPT today

it's all coming together ayy, well done cameroon. When my mission is finished I will upload a video as another example of cameroon's dynamic objection creation/deletion in action! Also, I've been having a problem spawning CQB units on our dedi since the last update... had no problems before that. Tried with military,civilian,JIP,server no combination works. It's the same for all maps, the units spawn during my testing in the editor just not when launched on the dedi AND yet another question, is there a way to initialise tacom analysis again so that the wait can be shortened, at the moment it takes ages to send the troops to objectives

That would be great ;) otherwise the fact that there is no objective there anymore is rather moot. Is there a function that calculates the waypoints? maybe re-run that after the delete. Thanks for all the help, and while im at it, does anyone know of a guide on how to run HC for the CQB modules?

Upon closer inspection, reinforcements still get sent to the removed objective, although when OPCOM debug is on the objective marker is removed so maybe there is a need to compile an updated list of objectives to the opcom. E.g. when an objective is removed, opcom rescans for objectives (obv the removed one will get ditched). It is out of my technical knowledge tho lol :p F5 is my friend today

You sir are a scholar and a gentleman. It works so far, I didn't even get any errors. When this is all finished I'll upload and show the power of the dynamic OPCOM objectives!

Thanks for the reply, I'll give this a go and see what happens ;P , maybe one of the devs can shed some light on this error/generally clear this up? Cheers guys

Thanks for the help, worked great. Only problem now is that when I use deletevehicle to remove the GL during the game, the objectives stay put. Is there any other way to manually disable an OPCOM objective during the game?

Ok then maybe thats my bad :p However I still don't think its unreasonable to include access to the loadout editor inside the mission editor. AND line marking and a see-thru compass

sorry if its been asked before (in the 337 pages :p), but is it possible to make the OPCOM choose ONLY the custom objectives I have assigned them? I.e. they won't have objectives on other military locations, just the ones I have deployed a gamelogic at. Is it also possible to remove custom objectives from the OPCOM by removing the gamelogic with a 'deletevehicle' command? I have a script at the moment which I hope will be able to remove the objectives and force the enemy to fall back or concentrate on other objectives once the script has run (by an addaction on a laptop) Cheers guys

well yes of course thats option, it would be nice to not have to keep alt - tabbing and AFAIK, running 2 simultaneous arma 3's cannot be done..

sorry if this has been mentioned but are there any plans to include more extensive map tools, like 'that mod'? Or maybe see about including FHQ map draw and improve upon that?? Cheers and great work so far

I don't have time to read through this thread so sorry if its a double post but it would be a good idea to be able to access the loadout editor inside the mission editor or at least be able to access the exported script from the saved profiles, this would greatly increase the speed at which someone could apply the loadouts of all the units in a mission. It would avoid the annoying need to quit back to the main menu and to get the next loadout from the separate editor. Another point which has aggravated me all throughout this series of games has been the inability to draw lines on the map (except in ACE or other mods, I can't find one for A3 though) and rotate the compass in order to measure bearings on the map. My aggravation has been brought to a head though with this bootcamp update, with a part of the training showing the player how to triangulate positions on the map using lines and the compass to find the bearing of said line. The joke is, you can't actually draw lines OR rotate the compass on the map in the game. They have drawn the line in the editor and told you the bearing, avoiding putting in this most basic of functions. I am not one to moan, however this set me off lol. Please can BI read this and implement for the actual bootcamp release. I would be eternally grateful. (PS I love the loadout editor, for me it works better than LEA and VAS!) edit: Just found the FHQ mapdraw mod, great for drawing lines. Just need the compass sorted now ;)

I would also be willing to get involved if you need any recordings done/editing/processing/foley sounds Got a lot of experience in these things so gimme a shout! Bullet impact sounds would be good, a real 'thud' ;) and general chatter of course as Goodson was prattling on about :D

people can't join the server whenever anyone runs this mod and we get some weird bug where the server seems to think im an enemy, AI try to kill me and people can't get in my vehicles. Anyone else with problems?

Yes it's on Cherno, Never had a problem with it before, CQB spawns units in the enterable buildings and in sheds/porches/steps of the non-enterable buildings

Im seriously looking forward to making an alive mission on this ---------- Post added at 10:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:52 AM ---------- what size is the map? Sorry if its already mentioned somewhere

Still having the CQB issues, replaced all the modules and the problem persists. I am running cherno and using the aggressors for the faction to be spawned. I've made lots of missions since the mod came out and have only had this problem since the last update

Hey guys, great mod so far! Any option to disable markers being transmitted to other players like ACE? And some map tools please (like a compass you actually use on the map to get bearings etc and a rular)

Having a problem getting CQB units to spawn on a dedicated server, no problem when I test on my client PC. I have updated alive on both client and server and the problem persists.. Any ideas? Thanks in advance

must say im loving this game mode, can't seem to get VAS to load though. any settings I must change? Cheers

thanks for adding support for massi's helis, however I have just tested this with the lynx and it still isn't working. will now test with the other helis using the PWS 1.2 version of UK_SFTG_A3
