Unofficial paratrooper/partisan campaign for ČSLA Iron Curtain cDLC. WORK IN PROGRESS. Contains the more than 9 minute long opening cutscene, five missions and some other cutscenes. More missions will be added in the future. !DO NOT RUN THIS CAMPAIGN WITH MODS, THAT AREN'T REQUIRED! Especially with ones, that change AI behavior. Also, I don't recommend pressing the Esc key during a cutscene, as sometimes it breaks the camera animation. You might need to revert the last cutscene/mission for the new one to show up. This is something I didn't realize, when I decided to add missions progressively. Features and future plans: Story rich Fully voice acted Cutscenes Good and bad ending Collectibles Custom music Custom sounds References to older games Known issues: In mission Morning Reaction: The commander sometimes gets stuck after 2nd objective cutscene . I recommend saving the game before entering the customs house and reloading this save, if it happens. Explosive charges on the bridge levitate. I tweaked this 5 times, but after a while, they always started levitating. In mission Sleepless Night: After loading the first autosave, the chatter between the radio station and HQ doesn't continue. In mission Hidden and Dangerous: Parachuting for too long can result in a mission failure. Your medic refuses to move after reaching points Tomáš, or Urban. In mission Rude Awakening: NPCs sometimes levitate in the armory. Enemy choppers crash into each other and sometimes explode after the airdrop. There's lag after the paradrop. Steam Workshop Link

The campaign was unexpectedly updated, as I've discovered a somewhat serious bug. Changelog: The radioman isn't lethal anymore after team switching from him to another unit in mission Rude Awakening. The loading screens ware improved.

Glad to see, that someone is intelligent enough to try the basic IT steps before he posts something. What you are experiencing is very strange and I can't reproduce it. For me the missions runs without any problems, either I launch it from the campaigns menu, or the editor. The only thing, that pops into my mind is, that you don't have the newest version of ČSLA, which includes Mi-24s, but even if so, I don't understand, why would it break the cutscenes. Glad you loved the campaign at least to this point. Maybe try reverting the entire campaign, or skip this mission with endmission cheat, but that would be a pity, because it's so far the best one in my opinion.

Thanks. This is starting to become like the IT question: have you tried restarting it? ARE YOU RUNNING ANY MODS, BESIDES THE ONES, THAT ARE REQUIRED?

I've released an update for the campaign. Changelog: Re-dubbed some voice acting lines, that didn't sound good. Vančo is not immortal after team switching in Hidden and Dangerous Part 1 anymore. The main character is now invincible when the player is switched into another unit in Rude Awakening. Several smaller improvements.

Mission Rude Awakening and cutscene Return to the Airbase ware added to the Campaign. With the fifth mission added, the next update will be probably released only when the part for paratroopers is finished (2-3 more missions). After that, Hot August will be updated only when fully finished. This might take a very long time, but it's a better solution, than adding missions one at a time.

The campaign was updated for new ČSLA 1.1 version. Changelog: -Fixed chopper not firing rockets in mission Operation Tyrkys. -Changed gear of some soldiers, so it corresponds more to their classes. -The paratrooper squads now wait for each other in the woods before assaulting the airfield in mission Operation Tyrkys. -When an enemy escapes Berda in mission Hidden and Dangerous part 1, the objective will be marked as failed. -When the player gets noticed in Hidden and Dangerous Part 2, the objective will be marked as failed. -Limited items in inventory of military vehicles, so the player can't use rocket launcher, when not necessary, for example. -The radioman now carries R-129 instead of RF-10 in mission Morning Reaction. -Tweaked the timing of dubbing, chat and camera in the opening cutscene. -Some other smaller changes and improvements. New mission is coming VERY SOON 😉

I have come across the same problem, as someone mentioned on Steam. When I obtain the uranium and go outside to link up with the team, an error pops up, and the mission doesn't continue. From the team only Anatoli and Chovnyk are there. Rest is invisible only with class tags showing up. I am playing the campaign only with the required mods and nothing else. Restarting and reverting the mission does not help. The last option was to force the end with a cheat, but that returned me to the menu, as if the campaign was over.

If you want to try to do something about it, I can test it for you to see, if it works without the DLC correctly.

The campaign is unplayable, if you don't own Global Mobilization. I've downloaded the compatibility files, but in the first two missions the player is wearing an outfit from GM and I got the press LSHIFT+P to buy overlay. I resolved that with taking the clothes off, but it was a bit odd and funny playing in winter only in undies... Then, when I reached Clean Air mission I got a pop-up: Mission terminated because DLC content required. I will buy GM when it goes on sale, though.

I've restarted the mission 2 times, but the bug always occured. You are right about the campaign being broken. I can't past the Four Horsemen mission. After completing the first objective all friendly units freeze and never get to the rendezvous point. I've tried assaulting the power plant on my own, but there are too many enemy tanks. Also I've tried to restart and revert the mission, but it was always the same scenario. The last option was ENDMISSION cheat, but that returned me to the menu, as if the campaign was over. Well, it's good to read, that you will replace the campaign with a new version and don't give up on it, at least.

In mission Dead Weight the doggie camera can't be used. It pops up an error when I activate it. When I try to deactivate it, another error pops up and the two keep overflashing each other until the mission's end.

Mission Operation Tyrkys and cutscene Calm Times ware added to the campaign.

I have resolved it with making my own overlay:

Hi, I've created a cutscene, that is suppose to look, as if the viewer is looking through binoculars. I've used cutRsc ["Binocular", "PLAIN", 0]; to achieve it, but the problem is that the overlay looks like this: As if the overlay was in it's original size (I'm running the game in an 1280x800 window), flipped 180° + there is some graphical anomaly. How am I suppose to display it correctly?

Hello, I have an chopper, which I want to broadcast a radio message when it gets hit. Before I was able to do this on infantry with hitPart eventHandler and calling another script through it: this addEventHandler["hitPart", {execVM "trafeny.sqf"}]; in the heli's init field. Sometimes the script executed two, or three times, probably because the unit was hit by an automatic weapon. Now the problem is, that the chopper gets hit by M163, which has very high rate of fire and the script executes almost every time 10, or more times at once. Is there a way to force the eventHandler to run only once, or is there an alternative for detecting if a unit was hit? Here's the script, that gets executed by the eventhandler (with unimportant lines deleted, so it isn't a spoiler): mi24_1 removeEventHandler ["hitPart", 0]; mi24_1 setDamage 0.8; mi24_1 setFuel 0; sleep 0.5; playSound "Ot013"; mi24_1D sideChat "FUCK, WE'VE BEEN HIT! WE ARE GOING DOWN!";

I've tested that three times and it seems to work. No more repeating. Thank you very much for the fast reply.

I have released a small update for the campaign. Changelog: The commander should not get stuck in the customs house anymore in mission Morning Reaction. Removed Laws of War dependancy from After the Assault cutscene.

The campaign was updated. Changelog: Replaced the temporary cutscene with a full-valued one called Tension Intensifies. Improved the joining of units to the player in mission Hidden and Dangerous part 1. Increased the limiting radius after cutscene in the customs house in mission Morning Reaction, so it is possible to plant the charges even, if the commander gets stuck. Improved the texture of Soviet flag. Some other smaller improvements.

I've added a mission called Hidden and Dangerous to the campaign. I had to spit it into two parts due to issues with AI. This toked some time due to PC problems, therefore a very short temporary cutscene follows after the mission, which will be replaced with a full-valued one in the near future. I just felt, that it's been too long since the last update. Please remember, that you need to revert the last cutscene for the new mission to show up. Changelog: Improved lights in all missions and cutscenes. Changed the hints to a nicer style. Corrected the broken objective complete icon. Some other smaller improvements.

I have been searching for this, but I didn't find a satisfying answer. In an SP scenario I want the player to be punished, when he kills more, than two friendly soldiers. Right now the limit seems to be set to 3, until friendlies start shooting at you, which seems too tolerant to me. So, what's the best way to count friendly fire and then end the mission with a failure?

I have been thinking what to do with restarting of the event handler script recently and came up with executing another script, that removes the MissionEventHandler right after its conditions are met (Sorry I don't know how to describe it better in english). So now it looks like this: in init.sqf: // Add the mission event handler addMissionEventHandler ["EntityKilled", { // Get the passed parameters of interest params ["_killed", "", "_instigator"]; // Check if instigator is player and the killed unit was on the same side with the instigator/player if ((_instigator isEqualTo player) && (playerSide isEqualTo (side group _killed))) then { // Get the amount of friendly kills of the player private _nKills = player getVariable ["YOU_nKills", 0]; _nKills = _nKills + 1; // Increment (friendly) kills // Check amount of kills if (_nKills >= 2) then { execVM "friendly_Fire.sqf"; }; // Set the variable with the new number of kills (this is in case you didn't finish the game of course) player setVariable ["YOU_nKills", _nKills]; }; }]; friendly_Fire.sqf: removeMissionEventHandler ["EntityKilled", 0]; hint parseText "<t color='#FF0014'><t size='1.1'>!FRIENDLY FIRE WILL NOT BE TOLERATED!</t>"; playSound "alarm"; sleep 1; v1 sideChat "Vančo have you gone completely nuts?! You'll face consequences for this!"; sleep 3; ["lose",false,5,false] spawn BIS_fnc_endMission; Works like a charm. As for the other issue I forgot to add, that condition !(player in thisList) and alive player and (rating player) > -2000 works perffectly. The trigger fires even when player eliminates friendlies and even, if it did't, it does not matter, as it would be game over anyway. Thanks very much for your help.

What's the female mod? I guess it isn't a standalone thing?

7erra that pops up an error, even though I've written the code by hand (I'm pretty sure the problem is in my receiver), but it doesn't matter. I've used the previous version without sleep, as that sentence is not really necessary. One more unrelated thing (I do not want to create a new thread and you guys seem capable). I have a camp defense mission, with limitation triggers, which fire when, when the player leaves the camp. One is just warning and the other one is mission failure. In the scenario the player can team switch to his buddy, so I wanted to make the trigger fire, when this guy is the player, but not when he is AI, nor did I wanted other AI in the camp to activate it. For that I used condition: !(player in thisList) and alive player It works well until the player's score drops bellow -2000 (for example I blow up several teammates with 100g TNT) and then the triggers fire, as if the players has left them - the commander starts screaming at the player to get back and the mission ends with a loss. What condition should I use to avoid this?

I've added a short cutscene called Increased Security after mission Sleepless night. From now on a short cutscene after each mission will be a standard, so you don't have to replay the whole mission, when a new one is released. other changes: From now on, you will fail a mission, when you will kill more, than two friendly units, or civilians. Some other smaller improvements.
