Want to test my new ArmA mission? - [SONAF]

[SONAF]Ragerin · 03-01-2010, 06:26 PM

Hello ArmA fellas.

I just finished a mission for ArmA, but I need to test it in multiplayer with you guys some time.

It uses our standard mods - ACE, Queens Gambit and the Avgani 1.5 map.

If you are interested, please reply with a date where you are available.

I would love if we were a few people - 3 or more, maybe - because I do not know about the difficulty yet.

It's a simple multi-objective cooperative mission, with re-spawning vehicles (at the cost of a ticket) and a few extra map objects for the squad leaders.

Here's the objectives:

destroy communications tower
eliminate the Iraqi officer inside the stronghold
Destroy the two T72A's and the ammo cache, near the office compound
Find and report status of the German reporter, held captive in either; HOTEL A; HOTEL B; HOTEL C
Eliminate insurgents near the farm

The location of the "German reporter" is random. I hope...

There is only very basic scripting, since I am no guru, and I really hope it works in multiplayer.

I hope to hear from you soon!

nice one cant wait to try it out

-update-

Just tried out the beginning of the mission with Aztec and kickass this evening; there's a few minor bugs to be sorted out though.

If anyone can explain to me - i made a createVehicle trigger to respawn the vehicles. But it seems that it creates a vehicle for every player that's on the server, resulting in an over-flood of vehicles. The script is run on every local computer, which then gets synchronized to the server.

Anyone know how I can fix this bug?

I am thinking around the public variables? But I'm not sure...

Anyways, it's just minor bugs so far.

Still looking forward to test it some more with you guys. Also - it seemed a bit difficult, so team play and tactics may be crucial. Let's check it out soon.

Goodnight!

Cool...will have to put it on the server... ;-)..

[SONAF]Ragerin · 03-02-2010, 08:21 AM

Haha, what was up with the server yesterday?

And where were you? I played with kickasss and Aztec, but you weren't there?

Did you disable ACE for the server?

[SONAF]Blue · 03-03-2010, 09:01 PM

Its back on and your map is on it ;-)... Seems pretty good but the server crashed yesterday...should be ok today...

[SONAF]Ragerin · 03-04-2010, 06:31 AM

Oh, alright then.

Hehe. I'll be home today, so I'll try to fix some minor flaws and the re-spawn bug. Also, let's play tonight?

[SONAF]Blue · 03-04-2010, 08:28 AM

Sounds good to me... ;-)

[SONAF]Ragerin · 03-05-2010, 06:58 AM

Okay. I believe that the vehicle re-spawn problem is about the script being called globally, instead of locally.

Anyone know anything about ArmA scripting?

I believe that I must define the vehicle variables with a local '_'. But I'm not sure.

Will need to test it again soon.
