All the download links on the Bohemia website are down again, any chance we can get FHQ Task Tracker uploaded to GitHub or something a little more permanent as well?

TBH I haven't used it in quite a while, but I think it should still work. Sadly, there is no guide or updated documentation for it.

Hi Alwarren/Varanon, just wondering if this tool still works with the current version of arma 3? If so are there any up to date guide on how to use the GUI/functions? Appreciate you guys making this tool just trying to figure out how to use it properly!

Thank you!

Done. The link should work again.

Hi Alwarren, I wanted to start using FHQ Task Tracker in missions, but all of the links on the BI forms post lead to "File not Found" or a down website. Would it be possible for you to update one? Thanks!

TLDR:
FHQ EdenTT and FHQ Task Tracker are essential tools if you want to dip your toes into the world of ARMA III scenario design. I cannot heap enough praise on these two tools, I'm not being hyperbolic when I say, I simply cannot create a functional scenario without them.

I didn't realize this was on the workshop! I've been using this for years now, and honestly I wouldn't have been creating scenarios at all if it weren't for this tool and FHQ's Task Tracker.

At the end of the day I am very chimp like and barely show any ability or competence when it comes to even the most basic scripting when it comes to ARMA, yet even a simple low key primate such as I am able to easily grasp the functionality of these two tools. FHQ EdenTT makes creating a briefing as simple as it can possibly get, I can make a briefing with this tool in minutes, heck literally seconds if I just want to keep it short. The FHQ tasktracker, takes a little bit more effort to understand, but it works and it's simple once you figure it out, without it I simply cannot get ARMA III's task system to work at all.

Damn, anyway thx for your quick response!

Glad you like it :)
No, multilingual mission briefings are not supported, sadly.

@Varanon @Alwarren - This mod is still the best avail for those who are not messing around with hours of adding a skript for briefin- and task-descriptions and I still use it since the very first beginning. Thx guys! Question: Is there a feature to add a multi-language briefings? Right now, all my missions are in German, but I would like to translate them in English, without uploading a copy of this mission in English language. Thx mates!

Hey, is there a reference on how to color code certain stuff? I can see something on the screenshot, but I was unable to find a reference for this. Thanks!

Tasktracker isn't an addon, it's just a bunch of scripts. It cannot be put on the workshop

So, do I really need that Tasktracker addon to use this one? I don't really trust addons that aren't from the workshop.

Yeah I should update the web site :|

sorry i downloaded an obsolet version from main site.

A bit more information would help. Have you added the FHQ Task Tracker to your mission?

I cant add briefing nor a task only errors...

You don't need to run this on the server, nor do you need the addon at all to play the mission.

After the last release, I'm having issues regarding this running on a dedicated server which verifies signatures, I've tried both the armaholic and workshop release but It's always invalid, I'd assume the key isn't working for this addon anymore, is there any chance this could be fixed?

For anyone picking this up, we've figured out the issue, apparently atleast in this version when creating the task groups you should use all lowercase letters. Extra props and thanks to Alwarren for taking the time to help me out there because I wouldn't have caught that in a million years. With this knowledge moving forward with this addon and loving how much it simplifies the process. Great addon, great author!

Awesome really I appreciate it, can't wait to figure out what I'm doing wrong and get to using this tool.

Got it. I'll take a look ASAP.

Sent you an email with the files linked inside. You sir are a gentleman and a scholar, thanks for the help!

Yeah, send me a zip and I'll have a look at it.

If its easier I could create a zip of the mission folder and send it to you. I feel as though its probably something I'm failing to do in the mission folder. Probably somethng obvious that I'm just too inexperienced to catch.

Sorry slip of the keyboard its the Active Task Group field.

Did you place it in the unit's init field, or into the "Active Task Group" field?

I have, and thanks so much for taking a moment to help me out. I'm sure once I know what I'm missing that this tool is going to be a life saver. Its really everything I could have hoped for once I fix this little snag. I've noticed in the example images above and in the included documentation that the name of the groups in the creation screen are common, and then in the units task field its west_tasks should these two names be different? for example when creating the group of tasks I've named each group after the callsign of my squads ie Eagle_1_1_Tasksgroups. and thats also what I've placed in the units init.

Have you added the task group to the unit's task field?

So, I wanted to give this a shot because tasks have been the bane of my existances. I've put in some tasks, I've copied the functions into the mission folder, added the CFG to the description but when I fire up the mission I get my briefings but I don't get the first task that should start as assigned. I'm sure I'm missing something but I followed the included tutorial to a T and I can't seem to get the first task to take.

Not yet. You have to create hidden tasks manually by FHQ TaskTracker

Is it possible to create a hidden task that doesn't show up until activated by script? I'm asking this as I'd like to keep all my task creates in one place and simply set task states in my logic to keep things clean and easily readable.

Awesome module, makes scripter' life so easy. Thank you FHQ!

@TyrDaishi I don't really want to go back to fixing the old versions, but I don't understand why you think the latest version is more confusing, since they are basically the same, just with different function names.With 4.0 you can still use the scripted version in much the same way as with the old one

A step by step would be awesome for noobs like me and many other,

In that case, I have no idea what you did wrong. There is a sample mission here https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=671272714 that you might want to compare your stuff against.

I guess I should make a step-by-step video tuitorial on how to use this.

@Alwarren

I did.

Hey Varanon, I'm still using version 2.2 for some of my missions and I assign new tasks via script. On dedicated servers the new task doesn't get assigned. Is there any chance you will fix the old version or do I have to upgrade all missions to 4.0? Because to be honest version 4 is pretty much hell of confusing to use and decide how to add tasks for multiplayer / dedicated servers for me. looked at the example mission and read the documentation, still kind of confusing in comparison to 2.2.

Did you copy the folder with the function files as well?

I'm having the same issue as XxwhirlwindxX, I did set up the breifings, added them and added the description.ext and also the functions folder in my mission folder but no avail. I'm having a strange error message that I have never seen before, it may be from FHQ.
The error is: Preprocessor failed with error - Invalid file name (empty filename).

Any help would be appriciated, thanks!

Did you install the task tracker function modules in your mission'S description.ext?

I've been trying to create a briefing with tasktracker, downloaded the additional file from armaholic. I loaded it through the launcher along with EDEN_TT. However I'm finding that even though I name the briefing correctly, name the task groups correctly and call them from the Unit to be briefed. It will not load the briefing. Any idea's? Thanks!

I only ever create tasks using TaskTracker, I highly recommend!!! Im looking forward to giving this version a try

I used the previous version and it was excelent. I think this will be the same.
I'll have a look ASAP. Thank you!

Thanks everyone!

Note, it works not only for Coop, but any mission type that needs tasks

Excellent work!

everyone who is really into making coop missions should check this out. it's simply the most reliable coop-task-framework you can get. incredible work for the community. thanks alot!

Awesome work!
