I have found solution of the problem: http://dev.arma3.com/sitrep-00039 At least it fixed issue in my case. "... In case you are experiencing difficulties running the Arma 3 Server tool, please try the following two steps: Make sure the steam_appid.txt in the installation folder contains value 107410. Unfortunately the Steam client currently automatically changes this to 233780 with every update of the app. We're trying to solve this with Valve. ..."

Script itself doesnt demand much from the server. Sure, if your players scatters on the Altis trying to visit as many cities as possible it could create many vehicles (usually 4-5, 8-9 in the big cities) which can cause syncronization lags, but I tested this script in MP games with 50 players and there were no problems with it.

Right now it is not very good idea, because fuel value now used by script to determine whether vehicle were used by players or not. ---------- Post added at 21:21 ---------- Previous post was at 21:09 ---------- 1) and 2) will update in the next version. 3) Script checks fuel state of the vehicles to determine if they were touched by player. If fuel value is not 1, then vehicle was touched and will not be cleaned on despawn.

Could you describe what problems you had encountered with test mission?

Very promising mod. Could you please also add Static C-130 to your mod for specific paradrop missions? It would be even more useful...

The same problem. Does anybody know how to fix it?

Me too have this problem. Is there any solution now?

Thanks for your answer. I have already fixed this the same way :) in the latest version of the script. So it seems that it should work correct now.

Thanks for the suggested animation, I just updated the script with it :) Regarding loop time - I beleive it is not a good thing because each time you attachto unit to the position your game client spams all other clients playing the same mission with this information and it may cause desynchronization. (at least as I understand the game engine working logic) To learn Arma coding you should code much because to write scripts is much simpler than to read others' scripts :) So I dont want to make commented version of the script (and it will take a lot of time which I could to spend making another good scripts). This script is short and self explaining from my point of view. Anyway, if you have questions regarding script - you are always welcome to ask. ---------- Post added at 21:56 ---------- Previous post was at 21:54 ---------- Could you check latest version of the script (29/12/2013) ? Now script must close the doors of helicopter after ropes are cut. ---------- Post added at 22:15 ---------- Previous post was at 21:56 ---------- I tried to reproduce the bug with helicopter damaging after tossing ropes but with no luck. Could you please retest the latest version of the script (from 29/12/2013) and check this situation? Please note which kind of helicopters are susceptible to this bug?

1) Latest version of the script also fastrope all your AI command members with you (but pilot stays in helicopter). It should be playable in MP anyway. 2) It was only 1 bug with rope attach points on mh-9 and now it should be fixed in the latest version of the script. 3) In the next version script will limit rope tossing while heli on the ground and fast rope option will be available only for cargo units.

Updated first post with new version, now speed limit is set higher and added limited support of AI fastroping (if player is leader of AI team, then AI will follow player). Could you check latest version? ---------- Post added at 09:57 ---------- Previous post was at 09:56 ---------- Yes, it is easy to implement but I decided to not limit players this way. I can add a switch to the script if you want this feature. ---------- Post added at 09:58 ---------- Previous post was at 09:57 ---------- Could you try with latest version? It should support AI fastroping and fastroping from AI helis.

When someone holding on the rope the helicopter should maintain speed less then 5 km/h or else it could end badly for fastroping units.

Thanks for the bug report! Version in the first post updated. MH-9 should work OK now.

The same question for you. Have you tried demo mission? It runs allright? Have you any errors in RPT file when you add [] execVM "zlt_fastrope.sqf"; to your missions init.sqf?

Updated first post of the thread with updated version of the script with support of player respawn.

Yes, I am C programmer in the past. ---------- Post added at 20:32 ---------- Previous post was at 20:31 ---------- Have you tried demo mission? It runs allright? Have you any errors in RPT file?

Good, but CBA_A3 required by some of the mods we are using on our server. Could you please fix this problem in the next 1.2 version of the mod?

Have updated first post with lastest version. "Repair interrupted" should be completely fixed now. If you encounter this problem with latest version please report to this thread asap.

Hi, All. Excellent map pack, but I experience weird problem: On Chernarus and Utes maps (but not Zargabad and Takistan) while playing I see underline symbol on the left upper corner of the screen (Has markered it by red): Does anybody know how to fix this problem? Picture under spoiler.

Now script doesnt handle players animation at all. If you find suitable animation in Arma3 editor you can edit script yourself to implement animation change. Or just tell me what animation you have in mind I will try to change the script...

May be it is because 4 parameter of bis_fnc_mp is broken. Have you tried without it? Where are you define the CREATESMOKE function? It should be already defined on all clients when you call bis_fnc_mp.

In the latest version script handles all hitpoints of the chopper and repair not only the engine but also all other parts, so chopper will fly. ---------- Post added at 05:25 ---------- Previous post was at 05:22 ---------- Strange problem. Could you check the latest version? I know there was a problem with this (but only when you carry pistol as your primary weapon) but it should be fixed in the latest version. This script is client-side so it is unlikely to depend whether it works on dedicated server or from editor. ---------- Post added at 05:29 ---------- Previous post was at 05:25 ---------- 1) It is easy to implement but now it is completely useless because script doesnt remove vanilla "Repair" actions from Engineer/Repair Specialist menus. You should not use these classes in the missions combined with this script together, at least now. 2) This is client-side script, this string means, that code below it should not be executed on dedicated server.

Note, that the latest version of the script(released yesterday) already allows to fix helicopters.
