Use task force arrowhead radio: http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?169029-Task-Force-Arrowhead-Radio

Thanks! will put it in :)

Gotta look into it,
does it cause any FPS problems if AI count goes over 100,
or when player count goes over the magical number of 50?

just wondering..

enableRadio false; - is done in the kits.sqf with ''removeallweapons _unit;''
player switchmove ""; - sure, what is this again?
player setskill 0; - sure, does it really matter?
{player disableAI _x} foreach ["move","anim","target","autotarget"]; - yeap! but what does this do?
player setVariable ["BIS_noCoreConversations", true]; - Is done with a module, but i can add it, sure

as for DAC - I have recently started making all my missions HC, so the enemy is spawned and is under HC all the time.

It is an artificial way of telling you that all the enemies are dead or that you've done something even when you are not sure, This is the way mission making has been taught to me and which has been a lot more fun.

It's a shame that completing an objective is all that matters to you, but I suppose that level of realism doesnt appeal to everyone!

I'll consider adding the full instruction list onto the vectors and equipment, I'd like to note that this training is made for those who know the ACE system, General ACE training is a different matter.

Yeap, tasks will come to the training but not into proper missions, for reason I already stated.

Yeah, i know, those parts are pretty messy at the time, ill try to work on it.
Some of those lines are there to add the possibility of changing your view distance so people with less powerful computers can play it with ease.

True, but they wont reorganize and keep going, they will just keep looking for you until the world ends, or just end up standing about.

And in any event, I can only use the basic ACE/ACRE mods in this one.

IRL you can't always be sure if you got the job done, being unsure is part of the mission itself!

That is the reason also behind not telling everything here: it's Recon training +SF, you are meant to learn how to find, recognize and eliminate the target.

In the solid snake campaign + hide'n'seek the situation is different, true, and it will be fixed

That is true for the solid snake and Hide'n'seek missions, the others have been tested and fixed already,

Tasks should not be used in missions due to their immersion breaking effect, notes don't always need to tell everything.
But as I said: the solid snake and Hide'n'seek missions are at the moment almost broken and in need of updating.



Here's a part of the briefing, I think it pretty much covers it:


4: Forward observer/FAC/JTAC

- Radio procedure
Radio procedure will NOT be taught during this course.

- Equipments and their use
DAGR; is a device that you can use to get information about your targets location,
including: Location, elevation, distance, etc.
You can also get all that information about your location.
Bring up: HOME
Modifying its use: Shift+HOME
DAGR-SOFLAM/Vector connection: Connect to, HELP/SEL, Choose, HELP/SEL
Disconnect DAGR-S/V: Data view, HELP/SEL

SOFLAM; A laser marker and a rangefinder, indisposable tool when working with aircraft.
Laser code change: Shift+Arrow left/right

Vector 21B; same as SOFLAM but not as usable as SOFLAM.

Alright.

Equipment:

- Considering the addition of 7.62mm caliber weapon. Most weapons in ARMA work pretty much the same, it would not matter if I brought mk16s in the mission since they work pretty much the same as M4, actually even better.
- Considering too, this mission is meant to be played in an orderly fashion where Trainers dictate trainees gear just so no one is too heavy and has everything needed, and discipline is kept for optimal efficiency = shorter training time.
(note that by discipline I mean that you wont shoot each other and listen and train as the trainers say, nothing more)
- Considering, I've done a general ACE-training which has all gear available (only Finnish, might translate if I have time) this training is mainly concentrated on general recon/SF action = small unit tactics/drilling
- Laser batteries are in the ammunition box, I will check and update if needed to the newer version.
- Will do, moar vehicles in the next version

Base:

- Yeap, I'm working on making the base more "base" like with VSPs and all.

Objectives:

None of my missions so far have had any kind of objective tasks since they are unrealistic and silly (how the hell do you know the town is empty?!)
But on this one I agree and will update tasking to the newer version.

- The funny thing about bots is that when they come into contact they wont so much as budge, working on away to fix it, although if i were to fix it, Bohemia interactive would probably hire me, lol.
- There is a convoy start and end marker? I will check and update if needed to the newer version.
- Yeap, explosives it is, though CAS can be used on the crates too.
- The objectives are one of the topics in notes, check it out! I will check and update if needed to the newer version.
- Tasks will be added, anymore briefing is unnecessary since all that is needed is already in the notes and this is merely a training mission.
- If you have ideas for Recon/SF objectives to be added in this mission, please do tell!

A thousand thanks for the feedback! this really helps, were the notes themselves helpful or did you just run it as a mission?

Yeah, I suppose this is a silly place to post this since when dont go that "in depth" with arma gameplay :)

About to be tested in AFI, dunno if people care or not but I will upload the updated version none the less!

So in short you need 1 trigger to:
- Make Civs hostile and
- Spawn one OPFOR soldier?

My questions are:
- Are you using BLU/OP/IND as player side in the mission,
- can the trigger be triggered once or multiple times?

I just put a TON of work behind this, please take a look and give me some feedback!

MODS: ACE and ACRE stuff...

Sorry!
I just thought that it could reduce the amount of addons and work...

Will remove our comments in 12h.

You can easily spawn a carrier with game logic and a simple script,
will post a guide later on.

PS: Note on the script spawned carrier:
Any vehicle that has automatic landing gear system (automaticly hides and shows it),
Will bounce around on the carrier, since you have to spawn it 16.5 high (it thinks its in the air, not on a carrier)

2 more from AFI:
Korpr. M?kel?
Isaiah Cortez

Got 3 guys from AFI with me:
Keneraali
Aspirant
Nouty

Hope you note that I have them with me, we could do with a FT of our own :P
Preferably normal infantry.

PS. I already took the liberty of translating this thing to Finnish, hope you don't mind :)

Any except rotary wings,
Ive played ARMA in Finnish for 6 months now,
so you might want to mind it while shoosing my slot,
Ive only played PL, SL and TL during that time.

how about eighties man? weapon systems are modern without the silly thermals and optics :)

PS: I went with Vietnam, haven't had those for ages!

Depends.
My air cooling system is really loud, but it matters little because I use only headphones.

RHS doesnt have javelins :P

I think we are good enough without thermals, after all we are russians, not Navy seals or delta force :)

Would be awesome to play as RUS MOT INF.

2 BTRs full of soldiers patrolling through a few towns, IED explodes, dust and smoke everywhere, Infantry dismounts, HMG fire from left side, people take cover on the right side of the BTRs, situation seems grim, Sun rises from the east, ingo comes up with 2 AKs moving down countless enemies while we are trying to regroup.

right? I miss playing with us all in :/

RHS sounds awesome! thanks sav!

True but the part that leaves some room in applying the rule is ''raping'', meaning that if all the enemies are not killed there, leaving proper amounts of the into the field, it is not raping.

Unfortunately we do not have video of the incident.

Camping main is not so much a black and white issue, you have to take it into count that there were 10 people playing and mostly uncoordinated? right?
This makes the game into a meatgrinder where the BLUFOR gets their asses kicked again and again and again until the map is changed.
In my opinion camping should be allowed IF the S-bunker is captured and player count is below 15-20, otherwise only intel should be given from that camp.
In future this problem should be avoided entirely by voting/setting a new mission, no one likes meatgrinders, being dead is not fun m'kay.

Not going to go more into tactics in this one, as you have done so already.

Opfor for a change for us or IND

Seeing as we mostly play with max 6 men I'd say INS is good enough enemy immersion-wise.

Event would be nice, unorganized gameplay starts to taste like dirt. (no-one is playing either)
Unfortunately my internet is patchy so I cannot make one (might not be able to join)

Making MSO sessions weekly would be awesome, Friday 2000 GMT?
