NEW MISSION : Vanilla no DLC/Mods needed
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2364613402

Custom built town in Malden's Airport.
CQB Environment with lots of cover, furnished interiors for extra immersion, and interior+exterior patrolling enemies. 
Methodically clear every building and room and prevent an execution, or don't.

Thank you sir!
Was a great suggestion, had to add it.

Saw the updates, checked them out; everything seems to be working well. Bravo zulu lad, some good shit here.

Yeh that’s it, I figured if you stumble upon it prior to finding the intel kudos for exploring.

Ah, seen: I may have consistently gone to the wrong box like a mung, I'll pay closer attention. I agree fully with your take on the hostage scene; if the trigger flips retroactively if we've already cleared that stage, and the objective auto-completes, no harm done whatsoever.

Update v1.2 :

- Added a "Skip Time" function to a laptop on the briefing table. You can now skip forward by 3hrs at a time by hitting the addAction via the laptop.

Ahh I see. Yeh I didn't want to 'hide' the hostage scene and trigger them because it breaks immersion imo. If you went in that warehouse already and cleared it, would be silly if all of a sudden there's a whole hostage setup in there haha.

There should be multiple V/arsenals in the staging area of the Liberty mission. There's a Supply Box and a Ammo Container near the briefing table.
But I'll give that a look over too and make sure it's there as I'm adding the skipTime laptops to all the CQB missions today.

Ah, good to know! What I'd been doing is clearing up from the left side then coming around the top and working back down the right, so we were rescuing the hostages before we had opportunity to find the int about the rescue task. Now it makes sense; also why our slow approach didn't get the hostages killed, I imagine.

As to the Liberty mission, you don't have a full virtual arsenal enabled. If that's by design, no worries; I notice some gear is present, but not the whole arsenal.

Ah yea LAMBS will do that. For example lambs will completely break my USS Liberty mission as the AI just walk off the destroyer ship lol.

And here to find the rescue objective you have to find the intel on a table in the big barracks building. It’s an execution rescue too so be fast when breaching 😅

Fantastic, looking forward to the updated iterations. Also: If there are additional objectives on this mission like "rescue the hostages" as per the Malden 2035 CQB Ops that feature side missions, they're not triggering in this iteration. If they're not there, no worries, the clean "all kill no capture" is appreciated.

I might just be retarded, so I'm going to have to play the other objective-featuring modes more to determine if there's something borked with the objectives not ticking off, or if I am simply not finding the HVT or using enough explosives on the power station. WRT the HVT, I am routinely running Lambs_AI so the dude might have run halfway to Houdan on me, that would then be on me rather than the mission.

Cheers for that man.
Yeh righto I did put the 'randomness' a bit more towards day time.

I'll add the function to a laptop so that it's clearly visible like the godmode laptop. And I'll go through and add it to all the CQB missions today and update them all. Sometimes radio triggers aren't noticed.

Very good feedback mate, much appreciated

Radio trigger might work: the only other comparable mission I'm aware of is Fin_Soldier's superlative Terrorist Hunts (Factory, Altis and Village, Malden) and the semi-random selection of both parameters works fine there and seems well accepted by the playerbase.

The work you've done on these missions is otherwise excellent, really enjoy them, but have finally played all of them enough to see that the random time settings are not so random on my end either when I locally host for myself off LAN or locally host internet for a group of mates.

Yeh sure, or I could add a simple radio trigger to skip 2hrs at a time...

Right now it's random by 2-14hrs forward/back.

I have not had any success with random time or weather: always clear, high noon, six playthroughs so far. Perhaps implement an option on the laptop to randomize weather and time of day condition after mission start?

No worries mate my pleasure.
Yeh square sizes are for Whiteboards and those square Dual Rugged Screens.

Everything else like Billboards, TV screens, PC Screens, Rugged PC Screens are rectangle sizes so 512x256px, 1024x512px, or 2048x1024px

That makes perfect sense. I had added the drop shadow effects and it looks fantastic. I will try your dimensions later. Ill dm you if I cant get it right. Thanks for the explanation.

Yeh so basically there are 3 types of images sizes to apply.
1 = Square
2 = Rectangles
3 = Briefing Table+Screen

Basically the whiteboard needs square sizes only, otherwise it will skew your image. Laptops and other screens use rectangular sizes.

Square images in general want to be 1024x1024px or 2048x2048px. For whiteboards I use 2048px size.
For laptops I use 1024x512px size. This keeps it nice and sharp without blowing out the file sizes.
Keep in mind you always stay in in the 256px, 512px, 1024px, 2048px sizes.

And yea it is all done in one image, but in the photoshop file I have many layers and many images.
Adding in drop shadows to all the little pieces help make them look like they're taped on the surface. But it's all one flat image when exporting from photoshop.

Hope that makes sense dude, if not please PM me and I'll try break it down further.
There are a few pretty helpful tutorials on YT regarding custom images on screens. They might explain it better than I can.

@VedKay Hey man, how do you actually create your white board briefing photos?
For example; in your briefing photos of the map, it is only one picture you made in photo shop right?

When I apply my briefing photo to the white board, its one picture from photoshop, but meant to look like many smaller photos, yet when I apply this picture to the whiteboard asset, my pictures are all oblong and misshaped. Do I have to change the sizing to something special?

New mission drop

CQB onboard the USS Liberty :
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2331982030

yuss, imma sub and like and play the shit outta that

Someone PLEASE record it haha
Cheers man, yep that's exactly what I'm going for with these CQB missions.

New mission dropping tonight! CQB on board the USS Liberty

I've noticed the random explosion aswell after a minute or so(GBU spawned at feet for no reason) , NOT RELATED TO THIS MISSION at all, what the hell is that though?!?, I was running the brown bear mod at the time.... THIS MISSION IS FUN AS HELL THOUGH. 10/10 RECOMMEND FOR FAST FUN. LOAD AND GO. cuts down on setup times common with arma.

Yeh mods... You just never know aye.
This mission is completely Vanilla so you could play it without any mods, then add one by one if you're bothered.
Sounds fun though.. Spontaneously exploding haha

yeah, I think it has to be addon conflict, as I have about a million mods, and it ran completely fun without any enabled. guess its an issue on my end

Waaaah!? 😳 that sounds amazing haha. Are you able to video record it?

I can tell you 100% there is no blow up trigger or anything like that.

Really not sure what’s happening on your end. Are you running it with mods?

so I have an issue where after around a minute or so, no matter where I am or what Im doing, I literally explode like I had been hit by an RPG
is this addon conflict or something or am i just retarded?

Thank you sir.

It does make sense. Fantastic work, nicely done.

@skribble Just using Photoshop and adding in little pieces of tape.
The illusion of depth is pulled off by adding a tiny bit of Drop Shadow on all the maps, pics, post-its and strings.

Hope that makes sense.

On the screenshots for the whiteboards, how did your whiteboard textures to show up as if they are taped to the whiteboard?

If you're a fan of this keep an eye out for my new CQB mission dropping this weekend - Wow, I'm anxious to see that! Cheers mate!

Thank you very much @M@K 47, much appreciated mate.

GREAT scenario! Excellent for CQB training! Congrats dude!

Huh.. strange one.. Glad you found it anyway.
Any dramas here's the PBO file on Google Drive

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Z03k6CLYXAaUHAkaQqhG_D9y85iR0R_2?usp=sharing

Not in there anymore, they are in
D:\Steam\userdata\26583696\ugc\referenced\

@mick yeh WS subbed mission go to a different folder.
Try in
C:\Users\ your Name \AppData\Local\Arma 3\SteamMissionsCache

@Kingzback negative there are not.
AI team interfere with the stealth mechanic because of the way AI to AI see/report each other.
But it's very solo friendly
