Same issue just restarts the timer after counting all the way down. Weird bug unsure what is causing it
Goth Moth 25 Jul, 2024 @ 2:20pm 
I can't respawn for some reason, every time the timer hits 0:19 it jumps back to 0:59. I really like this scenario, but I can't really play it because of this. I'm running ACE, don't know if that would cause it. If anyone else had this issue and fixed it I'd love to know how they did it.

Hi, Komodo. Yeah, kinda, there's VC version here you can download and put into your mission editor folder:

can i play as vietcong?

Hey Jaguar! Thank you for your feedback and kind words. Most of these issues are known to me, but however they're mostly Arma issues that I wouldn't know how to fix. The one with units spawning with just a pistol I might be able to fix though - probably need to just blacklist some squad types. I might not be able to get to this soon, sorry about it.
Jaguar 11 Oct, 2023 @ 11:31am 
the next four post are one correspondence, thank you

!!!GOOD DAY!!!to you!!
Jaguar 11 Oct, 2023 @ 11:29am 
this post is only a few points that need to be adjusted if they can be from your side. they might be an arma issue and need the devs to fix it, if that is the case please let me know and i will try to take it up with them. i have played this scenario on khe sanh and cam lao nam for hundreds of hours, this is the best scenario to explore any map hands down. it is great fun and i only bring these points up after experiencing them consistently, meaning the issues keep popping up every so often. sometimes once every few games, or it wont pop up until in a certain area then pop up no stop until the area moves.
Jaguar 11 Oct, 2023 @ 11:29am 
i have noticed after a little while the squads that have survived, they go back to the rear and wonder around horizontally to the active line about 200meters behind it. if there is house in the back some how they get stuck in houses. what i mean by getting stuck in houses some how they walk into the houses but when you order them to a different spot on the map they will say unable or whatever. the only way to get them out of the houses is to team switch into them and to move them outside and away from the houses. this happends every game and once i notice the front has been bogged down for a while i start looking at the top of the team switch list. i am able to work around this but it becomes a pain when there is a lot of them i have to mess with.
Jaguar 11 Oct, 2023 @ 11:29am 
i have noticed that there are some solders that spawn with very little weapons. one only has a pistol. i have also team switched into solders that have no ammo left. how hard would it be to have them pick up weapons and ammo from fallen solders? this deficiency happens every game
Jaguar 11 Oct, 2023 @ 11:28am 
i have also noticed that sometimes when the spawn points start to move with the front line that sometimes a few solders in a squad will be spawned into a rock or into houses that are on stilts and ai cant get out of the houses. the only way i have found to take care of them stuck in rocks is to blow them up. what would help is to have Zeus access to move the units that are stuck. this happends only when the spawn point is in the perfect area.

thank you for taking the time to make this amazing mod, if there is anything i can do please dont hesitate to ask.
Jaguar 22 Sep, 2023 @ 6:27pm 
this is a great addition to arma and the sogpf era.
Albeit 7 May, 2023 @ 4:13pm 
this is excellent mod, i can make it thunderstorm for a long time too
Satanic Warhamster  [author] 8 Jan, 2023 @ 4:10am 
That sucks. Try validating the game cache or reinstalling Arma altogether I guess.
FunnyBuddy35 7 Jan, 2023 @ 12:18pm 
So, it seems that nothing in Prairie Fire seems to work.
FunnyBuddy35 7 Jan, 2023 @ 9:23am 
It happens with this one and the other Prairie Fire one, you have. I haven't tried loading into a normal one due to not really having any others for this DLC but I will try the test one of the starter ones and see if it loads. I can say that it is only Prairie Fire that is doing this and not the other DLC's.

As for mods, I deleted all of the ones I had because they didn't do much and weren't really useful. This was happening before I deleted them.
Satanic Warhamster  [author] 7 Jan, 2023 @ 3:05am 
Very odd. Sounds like a general issue with your game rather than this scenario. My first step would be to validate the game cache. Does this not work only when trying to run this scenario or when trying to run anything on Cam Lao Nam? Are you loading up Arma with only the Prairie Fire DLC selected, without any other DLCs? Have you tried disabling all mods?
FunnyBuddy35 6 Jan, 2023 @ 6:25pm 
Now I'm having an issue with trying to open Cam Lao Nam.

It says "Addon 'cam_lao_nam_c' requires addon 'sounds_f_vietnam_c'

What do I need? What am I missing?
Satanic Warhamster  [author] 6 Jan, 2023 @ 1:57am 
There's also one for Gabreta: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2560249008&searchtext=force+through

Unfortunately I probably won't be making these conversions myself but I made a video tutorial on how to port this mission to different terrains, use custom factions and some other modifications. You may give it a shot: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kwI_mhtQ6OI
FunnyBuddy35 6 Jan, 2023 @ 12:16am 
Awesome! Thanks. Is there others like this for your other ones??
Satanic Warhamster  [author] 5 Jan, 2023 @ 11:45pm 
FunnyBuddy35, there's a modification of this in the workshop for that: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2514832859&searchtext=force+through
FunnyBuddy35 5 Jan, 2023 @ 10:24pm 
Is there a way to be able to play as the VC? If not, is that something you could add in the future? I'd like too play as both sides.
Satanic Warhamster  [author] 7 Nov, 2022 @ 1:06am 
@Russian Man Hardbass King, strange, my game is up to date and I still see that the vn_b_men_jetpilot02 class exists. Are you running this with any additional mods? That could mess this up.
4spooked 1 Nov, 2022 @ 5:16pm 
perfect ptsd simulator
Apple Beez 28 Oct, 2022 @ 6:15pm 
i cant get a screenshot but it says steam/... sp.cam lao nam/mission.sqm/mission/entities/item47/entities/item0.type : vehicle class vn_b_men_jetpilot02 no longer exists im also getting an error saying addon requires soundfile for the dlc and another error about a scope not found
Satanic Warhamster  [author] 25 Oct, 2022 @ 7:13am 
Hi. Could you post the screenshots of the error messages somewhere? Seems to work fine on my end.
Apple Beez 24 Oct, 2022 @ 7:15pm 
after the sog prarie dlc update im getting a buch of error messages saying stuff no longer exists and i cant play it anymore
fredhunters 9 May, 2022 @ 4:15am 
That's okay, thank you! Take care (:
Satanic Warhamster  [author] 9 May, 2022 @ 3:53am 
Hm, that would be strange, I configured this to work with either. I'll debug this somewhen and try to fix it, but sorry, I can't promise I'll do that very soon.
fredhunters 9 May, 2022 @ 2:00am 
Yup! I had a first aid kit, I did not have a medkit though. Maybe that could be it?
Satanic Warhamster  [author] 8 May, 2022 @ 3:38am 
Hmmm. Did you have a medkit or a first aid kit on you?
fredhunters 8 May, 2022 @ 2:39am 
Hey, thanks for your reply! Unfortunately, that's not the problem. My friend got shot in the arm and was laying on the ground, on his screen, there was the "force respawn" button. I remember that you'd be able to revive a player that has that button, since they're not dead yet.
Satanic Warhamster  [author] 7 May, 2022 @ 8:28pm 
Hi, fredhunters. Hm, I have the default Arma revive system enabled for these missions and I set it to the realistic setting. As far as I can remember, this setting only allows you to revive another player if the wound they have received is not fatal. So, for example, if they get shot in the head, they die straight away. Could that be the issue?
fredhunters 7 May, 2022 @ 12:26pm 
Hey, I have a question.

I've been playing the Vietnam DLC using this mod quite a lot now and I really enjoy it, anyway. Whenever my friend or I get downed, we're unable to revive eachother. Is this a bug or is it disabled? Cheers, Fred. (P.S Also please add a huey or more helicopters at the airbase! :D)
BULLETPROOFWEASLE! 19 Apr, 2022 @ 8:02pm 
is there any other missions like this aside from like dynamic ops?
Satanic Warhamster  [author] 2 Mar, 2022 @ 3:24am 
@KingAssRipper, I've heard about this issue several times already, but I can't to reproduce it for the life of me and whenever I ask follow up questions to try and debug it, people disappear. I'd love to help, but I'll have to ask you to answer a few answers to help me find the issue.
Are you running any mods at all other than the CDLC itself and does it still happen with all the mods disabled? Does this happen every time you try it or just on rare occasions? Does this happen when a certain person hosts the game or does it happen no matter who hosts it? Does it make any difference if the host is the only player on the server or if there are other people?
Sir Floyd the Breathless 1 Mar, 2022 @ 6:43pm 
I am having an issue with the host being killed by AI and he can't respawn?
Its something on the scenario end, we have tried everything that would possibly resolve this.
Satanic Warhamster  [author] 13 Feb, 2022 @ 11:32pm 
Hi, Zylack. Sorry, but no, I stay off mods kind of on principle. If I get into mods, there are way too many possibilities and it could wind up with me having too many versions to maintain. It's already getting to be a pain to update all of these when I implement something new or fix some bug.
However! I've made a tutorial on how to make ports of these missions, so if you're at all familiar with the mission editor, you may give it a try yourself: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kwI_mhtQ6OI And I'm willing to help if you come upon some difficulties
Zylack 13 Feb, 2022 @ 7:18pm 
Would you ever consider making a ww2 version of force through?
Thesh 16 Jan, 2022 @ 8:08pm 
@Satanic Warhamster i found the problem
Satanic Warhamster  [author] 16 Jan, 2022 @ 8:08am 
No idea, The_Shouse, sorry. You should be able to get inside, there's no vehicle locking or anything like that.
Thesh 15 Jan, 2022 @ 10:23pm 
why can i not fly the helicopter at the airbase?
Satanic Warhamster  [author] 6 Jan, 2022 @ 4:17pm 
Hi, Poncho. Really sorry, but I'm afraid this might also have to go into the "couldn't reproduce, works fine on my end, don't know what could be causing this" pile of issues. Some questions that might help me reproduce this though:
1. Does this happen every time you get killed in this mission or just sometimes?
2. Does this happen if the host gets killed by AI or by another live player? Or does it happen with both?
3. Do you have any other mods enabled?
4. Are you running the workshop version or did you download the mission from github?
P. Rodriguez 6 Jan, 2022 @ 11:03am 
When the host player dies (hosting locally) - you can neither respawn nor interact with the game menus - complete client lockout. Having to Alt-F4 in a mission is really inconvenient to say the least - no other players are affected; just the host.

Inconsistent behaviour from all of the rest of the Force Through's as we've tested them hosting locally and this map is the only one that has the issue with the respawn lock up.

some of the mist fun in arma ive ever had
Satanic Warhamster  [author] 15 Dec, 2021 @ 5:58am 
Something like this was reported before but I haven't been able to reproduce the issue and, to be honest, I have no idea what could be causing it. I didn't do any custom scripting for the rearm/repair trucks, it's all vanilla Arma behavior, so when you get close to the correct truck for the support you want, it should initiate the operation automatically. Note that for rearming, you have to get close to the specific ammo truck, not just any one of the trucks. It rearms one weapon at a time, so if you have expended all of your ammunition, it may be rearming a different weapon than you have selected. Scroll through each of your weapons to see if any of them have its ammo count going up. If it indeed doesn't work at all, then man, sorry, I just don't know. Might as well be some bug in the game itself.
Battle Sheep 15 Dec, 2021 @ 5:32am 
Yes, I want to play the pilot, so I chose the pilot for close air support after resurrection. When I consume ammunition and land back to the airport to try to get close to three supply vehicles, the game will not respond. The second time I tried to hover close to the supply vehicle by flying a helicopter, I thought it was the module that caused this phenomenon, but it also occurred when I only loaded DLC without the module.
Satanic Warhamster  [author] 13 Dec, 2021 @ 7:04am 
Hi, Battle Sheep. Could you rephrase that? Not sure what you mean there. Flash back?
