Operator19 good to hear some of my scens still work... but yes, most of them don't. Because the mods and the game are constantly updated... and also, I think one of my main issues was that Arma3 was (probably) never meant for missions of this caliber? When you got hundreds of triggers running, weird/inconsistent thing start happening... I did a metric sh*t-ton of testing with all my scenarios to make sure everything works, and still sometimes and for someones thing still got broken. The way of the Arma, right? Also, my scripting-skills weren't all that mad, which might had something to do with the way things went.

Anyway, hopefully Arma4 will provide a better platform for this kinda mission editing.

Ran into the same issue with the Gold as Spextor, even tried a little zuesing to figure it out and only thing I can see is somewhere with an update to something the trigger got wonked. to bad too as I was having a good time with this one. I know you are taking a break from Arma and all but let us know when and or if you are returning to making these great stories, have had a great time with all the ones that still work.

Spext0r™ I'm taking a break from arma... no schedule yet for fixing my missions. But maybe one day...

converting any of my missions to coop would be problematic plus I have zero experience on mp mission making... and right now I just don't have it in me to take on the learning curve which with arma is (probably) a steep one.

But thanks for playing my missions and for the positive feedback!

Righto, I do enjoy this story side of the scenario next to the explorative scenario of Once upon a Livonia. Besides the problems, hope it all goes swimingly soon since they are good. I was wondering if there was ever a small project chance to try an experimental two player scenario since one of my friends are itching to play this, ofcourse the 1st slot[host] being the one to do stuff only. But even then; Hope you have good days in the following with these good scenarios!
Mauseri  [author] 12 Feb, 2021 @ 8:52pm 
Spext0r™ hey man I've been hearing a lot about this mission lately, and I think some updates of the game or mods have broken this mission... or something.

It used to work, it really did... many people played it through with absolutely no problem... I know know this because those people gave me feedback on my mission, right? And then one day it just got broken. Some genuine and proven Arma bullsh*t.

I tried to look into this, but once I opened this up in the editor and remembered how much stuff there was in this mission that could go wrong and cause problems and how much sh*t I would have to check... it just made me wanna puke. I'm not kidding. It took me 400-500 hours to do this in the first place.

If, and thats a big if, I someday get this sucker back on the road, I'll let you all know.
Konstance™ 11 Feb, 2021 @ 5:52am 
Sadly as soon as i get the option to retrieve the treasure, the "gold bars" do not appear in my backpack whatsoever and no matter what it gives me the option again and again with no avail of gaining them. I wonder if something was overlooked or not but that's about the problem i have for going forwards in the story.
Konstance™ 8 Feb, 2021 @ 7:04pm 
I second to what Lantis has spoken.

First hiccup was the windmill transformer which big_bopper's workaround resolved. Second, was at RH being unable to exit the cell even though I found the knife - my solution (one I didn't like doing) was to use Simple Single Player Cheat Menu to enable Zeus and teleport myself past the cell door. Smooth sailing from here until the sunken boat and treasure. Can only loot the treasure via first person, which isn't a problem. Problem is that after looting the treasure and making my way back to the beach, nothing happens? The dude didn't meet me there like he said he would, so I ran all the way back to base but no luck. Scenario is unplayable from this point. :(
big_bopper 11 Jan, 2021 @ 9:38am 
You're welcome!
Mauseri  [author] 11 Jan, 2021 @ 7:21am 
big_bopper thanks man!

Hallo,

a tiny workaroud for the windmill transformer task:

use the console to delete two Objects: peku7 and pekut

Syntax:

deleteVehicle peku7

deleteVehicle pekut


then you can speak to Trina and go on!

Work for me!

Have a nice day!
Greetings from Germany

I have the same issue with the transformer... :(
Bort 1 Dec, 2020 @ 12:31am 
I can also confirm that the windmill transformer task is not working properly. It takes away the toolbox with the "fix transformer" action. I tried adding another toolbox to inventory via cheats and the prompt came up again with a sound like it did something but unable to progress the task by going to the women.
HarryH101 22 Nov, 2020 @ 2:00am 
Can confirm the fix transformer task is bugged. Tried it several times, reloading saves etc. still not triggering.
Mauseri  [author] 20 Nov, 2020 @ 6:45am 
knightsmk11mod0 just to make sure... you have to have the toolset in your inventory, then you go to the windmill where the transformer is on the table, and you stand near it and look at it and a "fix tranformer" option should appear as an option in your mouse wheel menu. There might be a brief delay... so just stand in front of the transformer for a sec before the fix option activates.

But! Some of my missions have had some trouble with certain kind of triggers lately, I dont know if BIS changed something in their updates or something... all I can say it USED to work, for me and a lot of folks who played this, but if its broken now, I have no effing clue why that is. I guess you could try to load a save game from before you first picked up the tools and try it again?

ATM I have ARMA uninstalled, so I can't really get into this properly. Just... try it again, and if its broken, please do tell. I'll get on this after I finish some other things and install the game again.
knightsmk11mod0 20 Nov, 2020 @ 3:53am 
I got the tools,but when I go back and hit the pepair the transformer,nothing happend?
HerrJehMyName 9 Oct, 2020 @ 10:46am 
I´ll check what you said. I really want to play this Mission. but no rush ^^ your support is great tho. Thanks a lot :)
Mauseri  [author] 5 Oct, 2020 @ 9:11pm 
richirinken ok I'll look in to this when I have the time. They updated CUP Terrains Core not too long ago, maybe this has something to do with that. Meantime, you COULD try to check the integrity of your mod file (CUP Terrains Core) or even reload it. A long shot, maybe... I'll get back to this when I have the time to properly investigate.
HerrJehMyName 5 Oct, 2020 @ 7:59pm 
- steam/__cur_sp.Altis/mission.sqm/Mission,Entities/item2.type : Vehicle class Wire no longer exists
Mauseri  [author] 5 Oct, 2020 @ 5:02pm 
richirinken I'd like to help but I need to know what exactly is missing...
HerrJehMyName 5 Oct, 2020 @ 12:48pm 
Hey i am trying to play that mission, but the game tells me that some file are not longer existing. How do i fix that?
Mauseri  [author] 10 Sep, 2020 @ 6:43am 
xeno there is one or two small buildings in the middle of the swampland (the big swamp) that should show on the map.... you'll find him there. I put some tall trees there also, kind of a reference to those writings you probably found in the chappel near the surf club...
xeno 10 Sep, 2020 @ 1:48am 
You did a fantastic job Mauseri, great mission. But I'm stuck. I'm looking for Brian in the marsh close the surf club and I can´t find him. Please help.
Mauseri  [author] 3 Aug, 2020 @ 9:19pm 
Recaldy check the init lines of the intel items....
Recaldy 3 Aug, 2020 @ 12:28pm 
He did show up eventually though I killed his invisible but with a frag I think. I found the last guy outside the building and finished it.Thoroughly enjoyed the west though traveling through a whole lotta nothing wasn't enjoyable. There are some grammar/spelling error in the briefing intels.
Recommend another proof read. Not sure how many landmarks East had but I didn't find a whole lot.I didn't quite enjoy the right side of the map compared to the scripted west side. Playing the Apex mission now.
Question: How did you make text for the intel tab? Can't figured it out in the editor.
Mauseri  [author] 31 Jul, 2020 @ 2:33am 
Recaldy... I may have forgotten to turn his simulation off 8(
Recaldy 30 Jul, 2020 @ 5:15pm 
I'll look for the patrol then. The invisible guy killed me a few times heh.
Mauseri  [author] 30 Jul, 2020 @ 1:22am 
@Recaldy yep you need him to get the fuel... after you have cleared all hostiles from the castle, you get a text box saying you they are all dead, then the jail door unlocks and you can go talk to the guy inside... and then you get another briefing file with info on the fuel.

Please note there is also a two-man perimeter patrol outside the castle you need to kill... and if any of the tank crew survives, you need to get them too... so, if you are not able to open the jail door, that means you haven't got ALL the hostiles...

Also, there is this one guy at the base level in the main tower that appears only when the prisoner has asked you to kill the hostiles... this I did just so that when the guy asks you to kill everyone, there would be at least one guy left...

So, basically, somewhere there is a hostile left...
Recaldy 30 Jul, 2020 @ 12:31am 
Is clearing the castle not enough to let out the prisoner? Nobody left inside(?) and I blew up the armor. Do I need him for the fuel or no?
This Guy 710 24 Jun, 2020 @ 8:09pm 
nevermind my dumba$$ read over the ravage mod 4 or 5 times without noticing it.
This Guy 710 24 Jun, 2020 @ 8:08pm 
i loaded all the mods but didn't work. Got a error about missing ravage atmosphere.
Mania 12 Jun, 2020 @ 8:25am 
nvm I completely forgot to subscribe to the actual mod
Mania 12 Jun, 2020 @ 8:24am 
I cant seem to find it in my scenarios, where is it located?
Mauseri  [author] 4 Jun, 2020 @ 11:38am 
PoopSlap yeah a lot of time and love went to polishing this and all the details in it... but to be honest there were also A LOT of times I just wanted to strangle myself just to get away from all the bullsh'ttery Arma kept throwing at me... I guess its a love/hate-type of a thing me and this game got going on 8)

... anyway, thanks man, I appreciate the positive feedback.
PoopSlap 4 Jun, 2020 @ 10:39am 
WOWZER!!! This is by far one of my favourite scenarios. I'm blown away at the detail and the overall setup of the scenario. You did a fantastic job. The story is awesome. Really like the lone survival style games and you nailed it. This scenario was challenging but extremely satisfying. I admittedly died several times. But i kept coming back just to know what happens next in the storyline. The need to solve clues added greatly in my mind. It was very well executed. Not to obvious but also not impossible. BRAVO! I appreciate the time you took to build this scenario. It's people like you that make me love this game so much. Can't say thanks enough.

Cheers!!!

Daz no prob
Daz 30 May, 2020 @ 11:37pm 
I didn't expect the simple option :) The two of us escaped Altis. It's an excellent, one of the best, thanks again.
Mauseri  [author] 30 May, 2020 @ 5:30am 
Daz just get REAL CLOSE to the gate, and use mouse wheel menu... an option to enter the bunker should appear...
Daz 30 May, 2020 @ 4:54am 
It's a great mission, thanks for making it... But you guessed I'm stuck? How to enter the secret bunker at the quarry, I can't find a way to open the gate :(
Ragnar LootBlock 3 May, 2020 @ 5:12pm 
so sad all these dlcs are required in order to play this.. would be an other 100 bugs just after i bought the standard ones and the game for like 100 bugs wtf is wrong with bohima.. terrible concept
Mauseri  [author] 30 Apr, 2020 @ 7:14am 
=UA=Shkrab Нет, вы нашли их всех!
=UA=Shkrab 29 Apr, 2020 @ 10:12pm 
Mauseri вопрос. После завершения миссии у меня на карте 33 локации с флагом.Сколько их всего ?...я что то пропустил ?
Mauseri  [author] 29 Apr, 2020 @ 5:09am 
SoulOfMort glad you're liking this... you got a long way to go though.... yeah BIS really should fix those map marker colours, I don't think any real military would make their maps that hard to read 8)
SoulOfMort 28 Apr, 2020 @ 3:17pm 
okay, i see what your talking about even fully zoomed in its almost invisible. but that was on my part of having the windows 10 nightlight on to dim blue light so the shading blended in with map almost perfectly. other than that small thing so far its been really fun
Mauseri  [author] 28 Apr, 2020 @ 7:12am 
SoulOfMort its actually pretty close to the camp... maybe half a click northeast, if I remember correctly... it's hard to find I know, because of stupid marker colors by BIS, but its there, I assure you... maybe change the map texture mode... open the map and there is a button to do that on the upper right corner of the screen... might help you find it? Thanks for downloading this...
SoulOfMort 27 Apr, 2020 @ 9:38pm 
stuck at stormcrow camp found file that said someone was sent to amfissa, location doesnt exist on the map???
