Alright thank you

I invite you all to check the new mission by clicking on the link.

This mission was my starting point in mission editing. Now I am working on a Liberation style one:
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2417954601

From now on, the Liberation one will be my main thing, and I am adding more gear and weapons as I create more factions to pop up these missions.

Adam, I have re-uploaded. It has happened because I am in the process of editing the factions and some vehicles got un-crewed.
For the moment, it will be better to run the mission with the beta test version of the mod. I have updated it too.

Hello it keeps saying that "SSS_module_AddArtillery no longer exists"

will have a look!

hi Dutch,
I've learned to set liberation missions. Would you give it a try on my new Altis liberation mission? You play with the units in the mod, I gave a boost on the required factions. it needs the bets test for the moment.

oh man, good luck with the new one.
Let me know if the mission loads everything right for you, because otherwise I can patch it up real quick for you.

no problem. just started over with a fresh install. ssd was fried...

hmmm, it shouldn't!
Thanks for letting me know dude!

dependency lambs.rpg?

Yo! I've finally been able to play some arma again! All was completely FUBAR, so needed to do a fresh setup and remove my own shitty scripts... guess i'm not made to prod around in config files. But.. it seems all is well now. mission runs super smooth kudo's on that! Now i need to find some time to play a nice session since my girlfriend gave birth to our daughter 2 weeks ago!!

hi Dutch, now, with more damage on the beta test, this mission becomes really serious. Gotta play like Deadside.

also helicopters don't pick up and drop very well. You order the ai to get in, then it takes off before you get in. The solution is ordering it to land.

ohw that's kinda shitty... it has the right class? Amphibious properties in the cfg? (i got no idea about that kinda stuff obviously)

yeah, it working fine, I have tested everything and I like it.
The thing which is not working is calling the amphibious APC. If it is on another island and I call it then it doesn't cross the water to come to me.

How is simplex behaving for you? You like it?

aha..

the ai not haloing is a script limitation

If i'm playing with my BundesWehr units =D

Maybe 1 (limited) zeus slot so that the mission admin can keep the mission going without restart of to much of a hussle.

btw. how do i halo with full team? selecting all, key 6, doesnt work. I need to give em the order individually by F(1,2,3), 6 and give halo order. Otherwise my team stays behind thinking: "Verdammt, Herr Oberstürmbahnführer DM666 Ist Verschwunden!" "Mein Himmel! Wie denn??"

...(2/2)
Finding these groups and clearing the areas they are in will take me to next op. (they're pretty hard to find without zeus so a support provider like a high altitude drone on sentry would be a nice feature, with availability intervals so it doesnt get to easy, no piloting or turret control for players. just color possible hotspots red on player request when drone is available. It has to RTB for refit and refuel regularly so it wouldn't be available at any time anyway. (or a condition where a sentry is available only once between every op. but with a minimum of 5 or 10 minutes from completing an op.

the spawn position near the diesel powerplant for example is close enough to create enemy forces on the diesel plant i know that now so that's the first location i clear. after that a new objective will trigger.


Every first objective that triggers right after mission init auto completes btw. (for me it does anyway)

Hope this helps!

it might be because of my mod list. sometimes the launcher just loads another preset then the one i was using the run before. it seems that if i use an enhancement to zeus or a debug enabler, it messes with the mission and i get put on spectator channel.

about the missions not triggering; i strongly suspect it has to do with opposing groups spawning elsewhere because i passed the proximity spawn trigger on my way to the assigned mission. Enemy units spawn in but it goes unnoticed by me and the units don't show on the map. also when i send a drone out for recon units will spawn here and there. (figured that out by sneaking zeus editor into the mission.) they spawn in and keep lingering around if i am close by enough preventing the start of a new objective. (1/2)...

I can reduce the mission time to trigger, about the screwed respawn position it is from the 3rd party script, I can't change, duno why it works sometime and doesnt some other times, about spawning at bottom left I think I can fix that... let's see

Been playing for a good 6 hours today. relatively smooth after bumblefucking with initial spawn. I got spawned in with the playables cache on the tiny island bottom left (team alpha 1-2, so no supports are activated and unble to set up camp) or i spawned in as a spectator at start of mission. from group channel to side channel to spectator channel. changing the mod load order helps but the a3launcher fucks it up anyway. randomly.

non the less, i was entertained for a good while. only the missions take some time to trigger sometimes.

hahaha

i'll make sure to make a mod preset, catch you on the flip side!

hey Dutch! Wanna join us?!

Hi all, FireStorm and I have decided to build an EU clan playing the mod :)
Come and join us at:
https://units.arma3.com/unit/1eutfd

removing MP resolved all the existing bugs for me. so i am happy anyway!

that's the idea, testing stuff to propose for your project. better than throwing it in the comments without being looked at first.

I'm still testing and setting up. but some nimitz launched quick response support and a A-10U drone on sentry watch, also testing an awacs to detect ground targets. only problem is that drones trigger ai spawning so de map get flooded, destroying fps... (figures) LOL

and what have you added?
maybe you have some good ideas that could be added here as well

Ported your mission to a SP setting. Everything works like a charm. Every time! Yay!! Added a couple of things just for my own pleasure. Must say, learning a lot from your scripts and setups. thank you for that.

=D

hhahahah wrote wrongahaha

grood!

a clean and organized steam folder system helps a lot! i now get frames per second, in stead of per minute.

They do indeed. I did a clean install today splitting A3 and @workshop between ssd and hdd, hope that helps a bit too.. stability wise.

well, dynamic starts come at a price ;)

you're welcome. Init isn't always flawless though. sometimes the map starts with olympicly stupid AI wich won't mount the command veh. Or without creating objectives or unable to build camp. nothing too hot to handle. A restart (mission) resolves the issues most of the time.

hahahhaha tku man!

Wow!! Einfach Klasse!! Did you use the "WD-40 addon"? It runs like Ho Chi Minh in a Napalm strike! Very nice indeed!

I run the beta test mod already so should be good to go!

I'll test run today!

hi all,
Hei DutchMenace666,
I have added civilians but, you will have to use the Daggerg beta test mod instead of the official one.

great :)
now I am working on adding more flavor :)
wanna do something really psychological...

Nice touch! It takes a bit of getting used to the gameplay but it's running more smoothly each run.

nice :)
civs come next, but I want to create the civs faction in a way that they look exactly the same as the bandits, in order to increase the pressure on the player

fps seems ok too! nice job:)

seems to work now! no civs though.
