For server admins https://armagc.blogspot.com/p/fow-admin.html Login as admin prior to mission start to see the admin dialog For mission makers Field of war mod can be used to create custom missions. Tutorial: https://armagc.blogspot.com/p/field-of-war-custom-mission-creation.html Optimization tips: Via admin menu Login as admin before mission start to see the admin dialog that allows selecting performance presets - good for quickly selecting less performance heavy setups Via mission parameters Toggling some parameters off (under the performance section) can help to rise the FPS Check the color coded parameters! Green means faster Also try playing on smaller map or set the full map parameter to no More about optimization can be read from here: https://armagc.blogspot.com/p/field-of-war-optimization-guide.html (If you have ideas for this mission please post them) Beta testers: I'm also looking for beta testers so if there's anyone willing please let me know :) Have fun!

Hi I'm trying to make some of the barrier objects destructible but i don't know why one of the towers takes more damage than the other before being destroyed. pic: https://ibb.co/TcmD9hB I put this to both of the classes: armor = 3000; destrType = "DestructBuilding"; but it takes different amount of shots from the tank to destroy them what am I missing? thx!

Hi I'm trying to play some sound but when I wanted to change the sound volume I found that playSound3D doesn't really work with many parameters. This works: playSound3D ["A3\Sounds_F\sfx\alarm_blufor.wss", player]; But this doesn't: playSound3D ["A3\Sounds_F\sfx\alarm_blufor.wss", player, false, [0,0,0], 3, 1, 0]; Any one know why? thx!

@Shepskii thx for reporting! i fixed the bug in unsung loading. there's still some error messages regarding unsung gear but I'll try to remember to fix those later

yes, you have to use the admin menu to pick which save you want to load to enter admin menu you should be logged in as admin and when the mission starts the menu will be shown to you

Quick fix! version 0.9.81c Fixed: Resistance AI (In 3 sides mode) was not buying units, etc

Glad you figured it out. I was thinking I should keep a list of incompatible mods The way the AI currently works is that every squad is for them self, they don't pickup hitchhikers 😉

Did it start working? I haven't got that issue my self sorry I forgot got to upload the latest version to google drive (0.9.74d) Here's the link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/10kwmf92u_T0p0YzbeaFcCNDAX9oWIpeF/view?usp=sharing

But I will update it more often now that there's actually someone using the non-steam version 🙂 and I will add the version to the posts in future, thx for the tip! I don't always post here when there is new version because sometimes I make lot of releases in short time period and don't want to spam the forums...
