lagging like shit...

Step 1. Open Options
Step 2. Turn down music volume

I apologize for what inconvenience it caused for you and your friends, but *you* control the volume of the music, not me. :)

Dear lord the music is way to load couldn't even hear my buddies over TS

I'm glad you enjoyed it.

And no one is forcing you to rescue anybody. I mean all they did for you was stash the boat and the fuel truck for your escape...

i liked it took about 20 min to beat has fun story the side quests were not that good i only discovered oneat **** that im not rescuing hostages lol i did pick up police body armor and the ak-47 though

Use the medkit in one of the safehouses...

Do you mean the one under the table at the south-west end of town? Only medics (the unit type) can use the full on medkit to heal anyone, and even then they still require a FAK. It's kind of just there for cosmetic reasons, as the only way you can even pick one up is with a backpack, of which there are none in the scenario at this time.

But there is a FAK downstairs where you start in SP and several in various TPD trucks.

any way to use the medkit in one of the safehouses? or is that to be added

1. Speaking of saving, I actually just updated this with a bunch of auto saves

2. Having multiple, unexplored ("in vain") options means there's more to the scenario, so you can play it twice (or three times, or more) or you and your friends can split up and all try to escape in different ways. I don't mind if people only pursue one ending and never touch it again

3. I just added a 5th escape route (it's a secret) and another side-objective to where getting the boat shouldn't be so easy

Well looks like you already have some ideas for the next mission. I dont have any imagination how to create a good scenario, I just like to play good missions.

Maybe make something like this mission, but so that there isnt 70% of the mission in vain. I mean having different options is great, but its kinda wasted work if you take only one.

And on bigger missions you should consider making multiple auto save points. So that if the player doesnt save manually he doesnt have to start from the beginning.

"For the average arma player" so I guess I'm below average XD

I'm glad I struck that perfect difficulty cord for you. Everyone has a different difficulty tolerance, and I know I tend to make my scenarios with way more AI than anything in BI's missions (I mean like half the campaign missions end with ~5 kills). The fact that you didn't see it as a cake walk or Halo-on-Mythic-difficulty means I'm going in the right direction, I guess.

Do you have any ideas on other escape methods? Or changing the escapes? I was thinking of having TPD on rhibs try to chase to the boat escape, and you have to kill a radio operator or destroy radio equipment to prevent a jet from hunting you down on the plane/helicopter escape.

I know its hard to build a good mission, so I really appreciate your work.

Actually the difficulty of this mission is just right. Especially the patrolling hummingbird is really threatening and I had to keep an eye on it the whole time.
I just expected it to be more difficult after playing one of your other mission where I died 10 times.

And landing a plane isnt a big deal for an average arma player I think ^^

4. It was the intention of the scenario that people would want to complete it all 4 ways (or more, if I add more). Depending on whether your scenario file updates or not (I don't know how long Steam takes to push scenario updates to players), some of the escape methods will either be extremely broken or perfectly functional. Hopefully Steam gives you the most recent version.

1. Thank you for the feedback. I worked on this for a day and a half, and I spent all day today tinkering with it and play testing. It's good to know my pain, suffering, and headaches have given enjoyment to someone else.

2. "Randomly found the refuel truck" It isn't really supposed to be a puzzle to find it; its location is intentional to reward players who don't cheese the scenario by going around the city to get to the boat without any shooting.

3. So are you calling the plane escape easy? My first play tester couldn't figure out how to take off, let alone land it at the second air strip. Did you use the landing auto pilot or are you actually good at flying (unlike me)?

Another awesome mission. I liked that there were multiple options for completing it.
(Un)fortunately I randomly found the refuel truck, which made it pretty easy. Maybe I should play it again and take another way.
Nevertheless nice work.
