Big update? Hardly i update one i got to do them all, about the only i wil do is
add in a mobile respawn but i need to find some time to do it.

This time I'm coming in with the late reply hah

No no do not do the respawn on team mates, it's not good for immersion x)

Oh so you are planning a big update to this?

Dam sorry, i did not get notice of your comment here, but no worries,
ya i'll update this and the other versions with a mobile spawn when i get some time.

Another idea including the mobile spawn is if your playing with any other players,
i can set it up where you can spawn on them too, i dont want to make it to
easy then it defeats the purpose of the challenge.

I been pondering doing some things different in the mission for the enemies
but nothing you would notice when playing, its just a more efficient approach
to doing something, like spawning something instead of have it
already placed, we'll see.

Oh and I apologize if I sounded a bit harsh earlier.
I'll have to get some friends to back me up in this mission sometime then hehe

The mobile respawn is a good idea, that would solve my respawn complaint!

Me knowing something you don't? I doubt it when talking technical Arma 3 stuff haha a shame about the singleplayer version then, but no big deal... You already got like 4 versions of this map released already xD

Thinking about what you said earlier, i had an idea that could make the mission
a bit easier for the respawn sake, is to add a mobile respawn, so one of the vehicles
you can drive close to the AO wherever you wanted.
When you died you can have the option to respawn at it, would that be better, at least it
would give you an option to not have to travel if you died, but then too you can
already self revive yourself if you have f a k s on you.

For a singleplayer version i could possible build it but as i said if your using mods
when you play the save is going to be corrupted, so that would have to be tested
unless you have suggestions, and know something i dont about saving
as i never use the function in anything i play.

Respawn is optional, self revive is possible, singleplayer is played through mp lan,
i had a singleplayer version long ago, problem was even if i saved the mission at
whatever point, it wouldn't load that save.

Using mods corrupts the save and wont load, there is no disabled save, its just not
implemented because its a scenario meant for coop ideally but you can play it
by yourself. One respawn position?
Where else do you expect to respawn?
Where you died?

Mission is meant to be hard, meant and designed to make you think about
your approach, and tactics. Initially the mission was setup to have only
so many lives, you die you switch to the next playable unit, the limit was 6.

I changed it overtime, singleplayer wont work not with mods loaded it corrupts the save.

1 respawn position (Start) and disabled save/load = Not for me.
I hope you reconsider on the singleplayer version.

Welcome!

Tnx!

Any questions let me know i'll reply as soon as i can, i spent alot of time on this, played it many times and beat it many times too, review the tactical tips ingame if you need some
suggestions.

ааааа ок

Was never a singleplayer mission, but you can play it by yourself through mp lan,
thats how i play it. Features in the mission wont work in singleplayer.
You can respawn if you want in it, but you can revive yourself provided you have
a fak in your inventory.

there's no more single player?

Thanks, the original base was far out east on the map, the base's current location was a new idea, it really isn't that close as the enemy will never see or leave their areas, there is no enemy base per say as its an AO with a combination of compounds.
The roaming infantry patrols will sometimes go out into the field to the north but only if your in the area, they will do the same to the east too.

Great scenario. My only criticism i the US base should not have been so close to enemy base. Very fun though. Good mix of close range and long range combat.

UPDATE
v1.9
See change notes tab at the top for details!

Found the cause of the mission not completing, all tasks work as they should, seems that when you blew up the radio tower it was your last task to complete the mission and doing so the mission never ended completed.
I found an extra code that i forgot to remove when i had updated the radio task a while back, basically this code is in a trigger for all tasks, and when all tasks are completed, the trigger scans all the names of each object, etc,. to check if they are alive it does this almost instantly.
So other then 1 extra name in the code which has no object attached to it, that name prevented the mission from ending complete.
So its fixed now and the mission will now end as it should, currently updating the mission for that fix and adding something else, v1.9 pending!

Hey, thanks glad you liked it, and thanks for the feedback i will look into it.
There is only one Radio antenna, its positioned in compound 4 but as soon as the player starts the mission the antenna is moved to a random spot between the 4 compounds.

Just played it for the first time yesterday. Great Mission I love it , but the only objective that wouldn't complete was the radio tower I blew it up, it was inside compound 4 on the eastern side not a trace of it left and I drove around the AO in case it wasn't the one and didn't find any others, probably just an ARMA thing. But great fire fights forcing tactical approach to stay alive.

UPDATE
v1.7
See Change notes tab at the top for details!

OK, thanks

Nothing is spawned, all enemies are already there just moved to random positions, the anti air truck will randomly start in one of the compounds, so you should not have issues finding him.

The truck with the 50 cal usually uses the road, he will not be in one of the compounds, so if you halo'd in just make some noise somewhere and he'll seek you out, if you used a heli to fly in, the truck will come to the heli and try to shoot it down, so dont land close.

If you want to know what the truck looks like with the 50cal its a white pickup truck, look at the screenshots above, or watch my video, in my video i end up killing him right at the start when i get to the area. Hope that helps.

Do the trucks and stuff spawn randomly? Because I can't find the truck with the 50, especially with no reference of what it looks like.

Welcome!

Good hunting, ty!

=UPDATE=
Version 1.5 released!

@Gopan
Currently theres no recruitment possible, you either play alone, or in coop with friends.

I was pondering the idea where you can recruit AI, so i may add that as it can be a challenging mission alone depending on your skills and your strategies,but keep an eye out for the next update as i plan to do one soon, so i may add it. Thanks for asking!

Via singleplayer I must do all takss alone or I can recrute some AI soldiers?

@jedi_warrior
Sorry to read about that, but idk what to tell you.
Mission plays fine for me and i've played it alot on and off for 6 months til i came to the point where it was in a releasable state and never had any issues with odd things happening.
Helicopter exploding is new to me, are you running any other mods besides the required mods?
Also on a rented server, dedicated server, or did someone host the mission?

@Johhnyboy
Thanks for checking out, thanks for the suggestions on the one release thread a while back i did implement them. Any more suggestions post them on the release thread im on the forums everyday.

@Cthulhu1-1
You should be able to use any mod you want for client side.
Ace should work but the only other thing i can think of that might prevent ace medical from not working is the vanilla revive. But try ace and let me know how it plays.
If it dont work then i will create an ace version for you.

does this mission support client side mods? and is it possible to add ACE advanced medical or post a version that does? i cannot find any missions to play that support ACE adv medical when our unit isnt running ops

Hey Gunter, I am enjoying this mission. Thank you!. Heli transport script works great. Lots to do. I'm playing solo, and haven't beaten yet, but I will perservere.
