STORYLINE June 2034, Altis is in turmoil. The island has been cut off from the outside world due to economical and physical blockades. The local populous has grown impatient with the government and the AFF in particular. Several demonstrations have resulted in the deaths of tens of civilians. The government was losing control rapidly and called in the help of CSAT. A mistake that would cost them dearly. CSAT saw a golden opportunity to get a much needed foothold in the Mediterranean area. The AAF requested a single battalion of CSAT Infantry. Instead CSAT send the entire 2nd brigade and soon CSAT outnumbers AAF by 11:1. Altis government realized that they lost control completely and stepped down. CSAT General Tehrani has since been in power and controls all of Altis and Stratis. CSAT is now proven a serious threat to the European region. As diplomatic efforts have not lead to the anticipated result, NATO decided to send a rapid task force to free both islands from CSAT oppression. DEVGRU has been ordered by J.S.O.C. to take out several high value threads on Altis before the NATO campaign commences. Wolf has been tasked with executing 10 missions over a period of 3-4 weeks. Your first mission commences 11 June. CREDITS & ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Concept & Development: whiztler (http://steamcommunity.com/id/whiztler/myworkshopfiles/) This MP campaign was carefully put together with the assistance, support and scripts from the following individuals/groups: Nopryl Community (www.nopryl.no), CIA community (ciahome.net), Project Milsim (reddit.com/r/ProjectMilSim/) VOL 1 MISSIONS DAY 01 - THE PACKAGE - Our area of operation lies north of Athira. JSOC expects a HVT to arrive and inspect the CSAR Frini base tomorrow. Wolf will eliminate the HVT once he arrives at the base. Due to the sensitive nature of this mission, detailed objectives will be given on a need to know basis once you have reached the RV. Our local on the ground will do an extensive briefing. DAY 02 - KAJMAN FIRE - CSAT has taken over the Abdera Airfield and turned the airfield into a helicopter base. The base is home to the 127 AAC Squadron with 6 or 8 Kajman Attack helicopters and to the 17 Air Support Group. The Kajman is a formidable opponent and can do some serious damage to the upcoming campaign. About one kilometer north east lies the village of Krya Nera. This used to be a little fisherman's village until CSAT stationed a small fleet of attack vessels there. Primary objective: Abdera Airfield, sabotage all Kajman Attack helicopters stationed at the airfield. Secondary objective: Krya Nera Naval Base, take control of the Naval Base and wait for further instructions. DAY 03 - SWITCH OFF - CSAT's primary communications station is situated on the outskirts of Kavala. It is essential we disrupt communications before we commence the NATO invasion. The nearby power station provides power to the Kavala region, including the communications station. We need to take both out in order to be sure that CSAT's ability to communicate is disrupted. Primary objective: Sabotage the communications station. Secondary objective: Sabotage the power station. DAY 04 - TOP SCREEN - CSAT's propaganda campaign is out of control. Their fear and retribution series broadcasted on television and radio has caused grave concerns both locally and abroad. We need the local populous on our side once the invasions commences. We need to shut down the Altis Broadcasting Company (ABC) in the Capital of Altis, Pyrgos. Sabotage the ABC headquarters. You'll be filled in on the specifics once you are close to the objective. DAY 05 - BULLSEYE - Maj. F. Kallaziz's replacement has arrived in Pyrgos, Maj. Farrokhzad. We know very little about Maj. Farrokhzad. According to Niko, the major has already made his mark by having tens of civilians arrested. Supposedly there is a public hanging the day after tomorrow. CIA and MIS are working hard to get more intel about this guy. So it looks like your Wolf troops are going back to Pyrgos. Your objective is to find intel on Maj. Farrokhzad.

It was requested on the FT in 2017: If @Dedmen stayed within the requested params then the EntityCreated MEH should not be an issue for Larrow's script. But the proof is in the eating....

Your orders are to insert west of Zoros Bay and take out the radar installation at Barcelona and the AA-emplacements at Istanbul. DAY 07 - U-12 - Our man on the ground, Nikos got captured by CSAT Intelligence Services. Nikos knows too much about the upcoming campaign. We need to break him out before they fly him back to the CSAT capital. Nikos is currently being held in a secret prison codenamed 'U-12'. It is located in Thelos Bay on the east coast of Altis. Wolf is to secure and retrieve Nikos Fotopoulos. DAY 08 - ICE TIGER - The last two weeks, SatNav has been tracking a heavy armored squadron consisting of 6 T140 MBT's, 1 x Tigris and supporting units. SatNav lost Ice Tiger due to severe overcast weather. According to Nikkos, Ice Tiger should be in the North Western part of Altis. We need confirmation on its exact location. Your orders are to locate Ice Tiger. DAY 09 - DRAGONFLY - Two days ago the 127 Republican Wing Squadron, an elite squadron of TO-199 bombers touched down at Stratis Airbase. The 13th MEU is scheduled to assault Stratis in three days. This can only happen when those TO-199's have been disposed off. We'll advise objectives and targets when you're on the ground. DAY 10 - DOBERMAN - Your last mission is a high risk mission in Kavala. We are still gathering intel. We'll brief you when you're oscar mike.

I am having issues with ImageToPaa since 1.48. I create two custom texture files in PS6. The images are exported as PNG to a specific folder I use for PAA conversions. In ImageToPaa I: Select the source directory and make sure both PNG files are selected Click check image list (files pass the check) Click on Process Files The result is always: failed to move and failed to process. Steps I have taken: Verify integrity of tool cache (Steam) Tried JPG instead of PNG Enabled and disabled 'Strict naming chart' Change destination directory Restarted ARMA3 Tools Restarted computer Screenshot:

How can they engage anything while they are cached? It seems you're better off with a spawn-on-demand script that spawns AI's when required. ZBE_Cache checks distance from players and caches/uncaches AI's based on pre-defined distance params.

You want them to remain cached forever? Why just not delete them?

Ignore what I said before and copy below in your InitPlayerLocal.sqf:

Check the file header. To use it without the framework then add ADF_disable3PV = true; to your init.sqf or initPlayerLocal.sqf And remove the reporting lines: // Reporting if (ADF_extRpt || {ADF_debug}) then {diag_log "ADF rpt: fnc - executing: ADF_fnc_disable3P"};

Thanks! The forced third person option can be enabled/disable in mission params (multiplayer, slotting screen). It's part of the ADF framework. See ADF\fnc\players\fn_disable3P.sqf

If you have a file "initServer.sqf" in your mission root folder then you can copy it in there. But the init.sqf will do as well. Player clients will ignore it. This would only work when all the blufor units have been created. If you create more units later in the game you would need set the variable for these units as well. In the init of the group leader: (group this) setVariable ["zbe_cacheDisabled", true];

You can set the variable zbe_cacheDisabled to true for units that should not be cached. E.g. to exclude all blufor units: {_x setVariable ["zbe_cacheDisabled", true]} forEach allUnits select {side _x == west};

I remember from the old days with insurgency on Arma1 and 2 that when server load was high the explosions (blowing up the cache) would get out of hand (lots and amplified). Perhaps monitor server FPS and check which scrips are running at time of the explosions.

Updated to 0.91. See OP for download information. CHANGELOG Added: new maps: Lythium, Al-Salman, Zargabad, South Sahrani; Added: hand weapon ammunition to the supply container and BCo vehicles; Added: Support for EricJ Taliban Units (Optional) Fixed: few AO-trigger conditions; Fixed: error where AO's would not always spawn as intended; Fixed: bug where a second AO could not be cleared; Fixed: bullet-proof turret gunners; Fixed: command support options after respawn Fixed: tomcat airframe would RTB with players still onboard; Fixed: knight M1A1 support would get stuck when engaging enemies enroute to the AO; Updated: vehicle inventories; Updated: Ambient air based on map size Updated: implemented a workaround to ensure the tomcat airframe moves as ordered; Updated: knight M1A1 support RTB when the current AO is cleared. Updated: Applied ADF 2.24.

There is an engine command to check if a client jipped: didJIP

Great points Nyte. I'll look into them and fix/update where needed. Thanks!

Thanks for the report. I'll look into it.
