Solid, classic mission! Cleaning the mansion took some time, but it was fun!

Great mission! The second Panzer IV didnt want to come into town for some reason but it felt good to sneak up behind it and knock it out with a Panzerfaust.

That’s ok mate, I will keep looking for a solution. Appreciate the response

paulygoon123 I'll be honest with ya. I don't know what the solutions to any of problems with mission using this DLC are. They act completely differently in editor and differently when exported. Most of those custom mechanics just appear by themself at random and sometimes don't even work... I think, Im not even sure.

I personally had high hopes for this DLC but got so frustrated with how it works and the fact that it works differently in editor and exported and that it's takes like forever to even oper attributes of any object in the editor and etc.

TLDR: I wish I could help. I think those are quirks of the DLC but it's such a pain in the ass to use this DLC that I can really even tell. Sorry. :C

Hi BlackFox, I have been playing a few Spearhead SP scenarios. I have noticed that when I die rather than it giving me an option to load an earlier save game, i go into a revive mode where I hold space bar then just get back up, Is there no option to just die & restart? also, i want to turn friendly fire off for my AI teammates for more realism. can you help or is this just a quirk of this DLC?

great scenario. not confusing, tense but fun indoor house clearing sections, LOTS of enemies, tank segments, and the ability to drive vehicles; not a lot of scenarios let you drive vehicles.
thanks for the mission!

@BlackFox: Was referring of course to the game from the early 2000s! :D Your mission reminded me of the missions from that game where you had to take out strategic enemy positions with a small squad before a large assault on some French town.

Thanks again for bringing back some of those memories :)

PolishTank as always good to hear someone had fun with my scenario. :>
Any and all similarities to Brothers in Arms are absolutely coincidental as I'm not even sure if that is TV series or game or something else. XD
PolishTank 23 Sep, 2023 @ 1:07pm 
Thanks for making this mission, I had a lot of fun :) I will have to replay it in COOP because with Arma AI you are pretty much on your own when clearing the mansion ;)

Anyway, the mission gave me Brothers in Arms vibes. Very well done! The town assault was a nice highlight at the end.

FREDERIK99M I'm happy to hear it. :>

Griffin um... best I can say is not take hard drugs while playing Arma? xD
Griffin 10 Aug, 2023 @ 5:44am 
yo i had a pretty weird experience, got to the mansion and all my gear gradually started to disappear then got teleported into a rock and heard a really strange giggle noise lol???
BlackFox  [author] 10 Aug, 2023 @ 5:23am 
White Rabbit thanks. :>

A Fun scenario that gave me classic WWII shooter vibes. Nice work on decorating the Mansion, it was well put together. The town invasion was immersive was amazing, climbing the hill fighting your way in and tanks backing you up. I don't know if it was a bug on my end but one of the enemy panzer's got stuck before it even got to the town. Still regardless, had a blast playing this! Great work!
Captain Blobby 7 Aug, 2023 @ 12:46pm 
No hard feelings on my end either. I do make my own missions, which is why choosing to not allow users to access saved loadouts struck me as odd, but I get it, it was a creative choice.

I look forward to playing the rest of your back catalogue.
BlackFox  [author] 7 Aug, 2023 @ 11:04am 
Captain Blobby It's not my power to guess what is and what isn't your intention. All I see what you wrote in the comment.

Please understand that I'm not here to make missions for "other WW2 mods" or take that into account for the price of ballance in the mission.

Creating such a mission takes hours. It's frustrating to see the phrase "But I want to". If you don't like what someone else has created, I sincerely suggest you open the editor and create the missions you want yourself.

I have no hard feeling towards you but please think about what you are writing and how it looks to person reading it. :>
Captain Blobby 7 Aug, 2023 @ 10:19am 
It wasn't really the intention to offend you. It does strike me as odd to disable to feature. People do use other WW2 mods, but fine. I played the mission, good job etc.
BlackFox  [author] 7 Aug, 2023 @ 6:06am 
aaronbok you're welcome. :>

This is Arma. If you ask me, your squad members are basically disposable. As long as the mission ends in success, the mission is accomplished. So one left is one more than required. XD
aaronbok 7 Aug, 2023 @ 5:57am 
Thankyou for another fun mission. I had one squad member left at the end.:steamhappy:
Annysimmers 6 Aug, 2023 @ 8:43am 
Okay, awesome <3
BlackFox  [author] 6 Aug, 2023 @ 8:21am 
Annysimmers any where where I get notification of that is okay place to say that. :D
You're welcome :>
Annysimmers 6 Aug, 2023 @ 7:56am 
Another banger! I'm subbed to all your missions, never know where to comment my thanks XD Thank you so much <3
BlackFox  [author] 6 Aug, 2023 @ 2:58am 
Captain Blobby saved loadouts after one of the updates could have been used to pull weapons and equipment into missions beyond what was available in the arsenal. Therefore messing up the balance of the mission. As such I disabled this functionality in my missions.

Also pls don't use the form "but I want to" . It makes it sound like I am supposed to do what you tell me.
Captain Blobby 6 Aug, 2023 @ 2:45am 
Good mission but I want to be able to use saved loadouts from Virtual Arsenal.

Octopuss thank you. :>
