UPDATE!
heliCrash mission fixes and optimizations. Location selection tweaked as well.
 
@Scorpi: I do not test with an HC because I do not have an HC. Sorry but I do not have a solution to that.

Ok. Thanks for Update!

Nice work IT07, I like the extra mission idea

While I may not say thanks enough, the people writing the scripts and mod are fantastic. I used to code back in the 90s and soon found it gives me a headache, so I cannot spend enough time doing it. Finding people that not only enjoy doing it, but are actually doing it to help the community, can never get enough thanks and unfortuantly, you wont. Its how the world is. I spent the last 8 years working in IT, doing Help Desk and now Cybersecurity. I rarely get a job well done, I only get the complaints and the WTF!, which is fine, cause it improves me overall. I do miss the WOO HOOs and the 5 Stars, but life is never going to give you that. If you feel that its getting under your skin, or is making you feel unwanted, take a break. Get away from scripting/coding, get away from Arma 3. Go try something new and different. Realize there is more to life than this. Once you have a break and clear your mind, re-think how things are here and decide if you think its worth it to come back. I will always welcome you with open arms.

I appreciate every publicly released script whether I use it or not as most of them can be used to educate yourself on how to write and modify your own server setup. You guys rock :)

Hi everyone, this time I am posting a totally different topic.
It is about the disrespect towards community scripters that is very well and alive in this huge community.
What I mean with this is that there are TONS of people/admins/players in this community that just grab whatever script they can find and trash it into their server (Most of them do not even know how)
and then EXPECT US (by us I mean the scripters) to FIX IT FOR THEM.... I mean like, where does that come from? Does the community think we are some sort of charity scripters?
 
I am so tired of all that crap. Of course I am not scripting for money, but even the amount of thanks/credits/respect is to CRY ABOUT.
At the moment of writing this, my continued version of VEMF has about 5000(!) views. And guess what? Only about 6(!!!!) different people replied by either saying thanks or some other respectful message.
Think about that again! ONLY SIX OUT OF FIVE THOUSAND were respectful enough to say thanks or something else....
To make it even worse; among those people that reply are usually people that reply with only: "uugghh It does not work" or "I have an error" or "Change that because it does not work on my server". Everytime I receive a message like that I get soooo pissed because it basically says: (excuse my French) "**** you and your script I do not care about all of that time you put into this I am just a selfish bastard that only cares about having the best scripts on my server and I give 0 ***** about the effort and time put into it. And if I have an issue I just post without even saying one word: THANKS."
 
And that is what I mean by the disrespect towards community scripters. Pfeww that is out now. I feel much better already.
The real reason why I am posting this though is that I want raise awareness of the fact that this is happening everyday and it is ruining all of the potential that can be achieved with EPOCH and ArmA.
Feel free to reply.

UPDATE!
Fixed expression errors and heliPatrol is now heliCrash because of how it has been changed:
A heli with para units in it flies towards random player, then gets fatal damage, drops the units and crashes. When it this the ground, "loot will drop out". The parachuted units will move to and guard the chopper.

just a thought, in the config you only have helicrash, should it not be
 
    missionList[] = {"DynamicLocationInvasion","heliCrash"}; // Speaks for itself, right?

Fantastic IT, many thanks, will get this changed next restart

HUGE UPDATE!
Seriously guys I am starting to doubt why I am still doing this for free you lucky bastards

WEll I am not sure what it was, most likely a space where a space wasnt needed. But I had to delete everything, go back in, adjust the configs and then it was working. I remember now why I stopped coding/scripting ............
