Yeah, older versions were available on Armaholic , but since updating there is always an issue of alerting an admit, I stopped publishing there. Steam WS is just so much more convenient.

Glad it works now! Hope you enjoy the mission

Bit of an embarrassing confession here: I realised that the versions of the missions that I was using weren't actually the Steam ones. Not quite sure where I got them, but they were obviously faulty. I've now downloaded the ones from Steam and they work as intended, briefing, tasks and all. My apologies for making you waste your time trying to help me!
Thirith 3 Feb, 2018 @ 11:51pm 
Hooray! And all the better for me. :-)

No, we've not moved to making RHS missions. Me and Alwarren both are CUP members, so we are somewhat biased :steamhappy:Most of my missions use CUP or vanilla.
Thirith 3 Feb, 2018 @ 2:36pm 
No worries. I’ll try a few more things, but as always, Arma is a fickle beast and there are a lot of variables in play.

FHQ have mostly moved on to making missions with RHS, right? I’ve only just talked my small group into playing with CUP, so I’m still mainly looking for good coop missions for vanilla A3 and CUP. I’ve downloaded a fair few of yours and am looking forward to playing them. Nothing like a good handcrafted mission mixed with the unpredictability of a group!

Hmm, sthud shouldn't interfere, but maybe try without it ? I tried with our own standalone server and it definitely works for me. So the only advice I can offer you is to try without any other mods but CUP and CBA.

Sorry, I'm out of ideas...
Thirith 3 Feb, 2018 @ 10:57am 
CBA and a couple of client-side mods like sthud.
Varanon  [author] 3 Feb, 2018 @ 10:17am 
Very strange, they both work for me. Are you running any other addons in addition to CUP ?
Thirith 3 Feb, 2018 @ 2:39am 
P.S.: I get the same problem with A Feast for Crows.
Thirith 3 Feb, 2018 @ 2:38am 
Just checked (on my main gaming PC, i.e. a non-dedicated server), though I just checked the regular RPT file. Too many lines to be able to tell - though I have this odd line (that may or may not have anything to do with the matter):

11:32:42 c:\w\stable\futura\lib\network\networkserver.cpp NetworkServer::OnClientStateChanged:NOT IMPLEMENTED - briefing!

Does that provide any useful info? If not, what should I look for?
Thirith 3 Feb, 2018 @ 2:07am 
Will do, when I get a moment. (I've not yet had to bother with server RPT files, so I'll have to find out where to find them etc.) Thanks!
Varanon  [author] 2 Feb, 2018 @ 12:54pm 
@tirith Hmm, it works for me. Usually, if no tasks or briefing appear, it points to a script error, but I don't get anything. Can you check your server's RPT file and see if there is an error shown ?
Thirith 2 Feb, 2018 @ 9:21am 
Quick question: I tested the mission on my own on a dedicated server, just to make sure it still works. No tasks show up and there's no information in the briefing. Am I doing anything wrong or am I looking in the wrong place?

@Alias: Yes, we finished the 8 player variant, but with only two survivors. As usual, I'm pretty cruel with my missions! Mwahahahaha:steamhappy:

I think i remember this one, is a nice mission, got our asses kicked first time we played it.
Did you manage to win it yet?

Ah-nice one mate :D
Varanon  [author] 16 May, 2016 @ 3:20pm 
Wookiejedi 16 May, 2016 @ 2:25pm 
That would be fantastic-thanks a lot :)
Varanon  [author] 16 May, 2016 @ 8:27am 
@wookiejdei Yeah, doing a smaller variant should be possible. I'll see what I can do
Wookiejedi 16 May, 2016 @ 7:46am 
Varanon-all your missions look really awesome, but is there any way you could modify a version for a small er group?Like 4-8 people?
HighPowerCo-ops 15 May, 2016 @ 2:45pm 
Excellent Mission had Fun !! Thumbs Up !!
ETZU 15 May, 2016 @ 2:41pm 
Great stuff! FHQ at its best.
Stagwine 15 May, 2016 @ 2:40pm 
Great mission with a great idea. When you play Game of Phones, you have have good reception or ...you die.
デニス 15 May, 2016 @ 2:40pm 
Very pun mission! Would recommend. :DLskull:
Suchy 15 May, 2016 @ 2:40pm 
Awesome mission
McGregor 15 May, 2016 @ 2:39pm 
Awesome mission! Cooperation and good communication is a must
SPhoenix 15 May, 2016 @ 2:39pm 
Beep beep! I rate this mission 5 bars, with a 4G reception!
Phantom Six 15 May, 2016 @ 2:39pm 
Spectated this mission. Looks painful with that RPG hitting 3 of you guys at once in a truck ;)
Alwarren 15 May, 2016 @ 2:39pm 
Love this one, even though it pwned my ass :)
Variable 15 May, 2016 @ 2:39pm 
Great mission, Arma 2 flavored :)
Valhalian 15 May, 2016 @ 2:39pm 
Excellent idea, perfectly executed!
