[WIP] ZFM-FairMission System-Dynamic,Modular & Balanced (Alpha release 90% complete, Test builds frequently available) - Actively developed

ZamboniBambino · July 5, 2014

Mission arrays are working now. Just need to alter the spacing. Look at how beautifully symmetrical they are. These things will come to be bases very soon. Look forward to it.

ZFM_Layouts_Array = [
	[["Land_HBarrier1",0,[]],["Land_HBarrier1",0,[]],["Land_HBarrier1",0,[]],["Land_HBarrier1",0,[]],["Land_HBarrier1",0,[]]],
	[["Land_HBarrier1",0,[]],["Land_HBarrier1",0,[]],["Land_HBarrier1",0,[]],["Land_HBarrier1",0,[]],["Land_HBarrier1",0,[]]],
	[["Land_HBarrier1",0,[]],["Land_HBarrier1",0,[]],["Land_HBarrier1",0,[]],["Land_HBarrier1",0,[]],["Land_HBarrier1",0,[]]],
	[["Land_HBarrier1",0,[]],["Land_HBarrier1",0,[]],["Land_HBarrier1",0,[]],["Land_HBarrier1",0,[]],["Land_HBarrier1",0,[]]],
	[["Land_HBarrier1",0,[]],["Land_HBarrier1",0,[]],["Land_HBarrier1",0,[]],["Land_HBarrier1",0,[]],["Land_HBarrier1",0,[]]],

Okay so i can load this up to my live server?

Are the missions very dynamic atm or are there just a few variations?

Hi Quicky, this is still not complete. I post development progress here, but I wouldn't recommend putting this on a live server until the release has been made.

In answer to your second question -- yes. They're much more dynamic than you're used to :)

ZamboniBambino · July 5, 2014

I present to you. The finished layout compositor for ZFM! Now, I'm going to blow your fucking minds! :D

Can you tell what it is? ;-)

*Victory fanfare*

The first of many!

Layout compositor is complete. That was the biggest feature. Oh, and it'll be released as a part of ZFM, then put into ZCR (Common Runtime) after alpha, so you making your own software can love it, expand it, and hack on it. Perhaps even use it to make ASCII art inside ARMA. Who knows. <3

ZamboniBambino · July 5, 2014

Bandit base for MEDIUM difficulty.

From above...

YOLO! I'm coming for you, bandits! (Hmm, probably should open the parachute at some point..)

The array for this one is a complete breeze. I tested those hard layouts to prove one thing: ZFM's layout engine is a beast. For easy stuff, it works, and works.

ZFM_Layouts_Array =[
	[["CampEast",0,[]],["CampEast",0,[]],["CampEast",0,[]]],
	[0,["Land_tent_east",0,[]],0]
];

/* One line to rule them all :-P
* Parameters: 1 = Layout array (above), 2 = Center of layout array, 3 = Location (3-array position) and 4 = spacing
* The Center of the layout array is pretty simple. It uses an array-wise count of the layout array. So in this instance, it says, on the second row (0 = first, 1 = second)
* and the second item on that second row.
*
* So, for example:
*
*            0     1     2
*   0        X     X     X
*   1        X     C     X
*
* The center is used so that the position of elements relative to the center can be established. When there is a center, what is above, to the left & right and below it
* can be calculated in code. Also, the actual location of the center must be passed to this function so that the relative positions can be calculated based on that. 
*
* Precision of this would work for things as small as a can, or as large as a C130J, hangar, etc.

All these changes are now available in devel branch for anyone who wants to play around with layout arrays :-)

Quicky2992 · July 6, 2014

Looking great mate, had it running on a test server, seemed to be really promising!

mark88 · July 6, 2014

Very nice mission system indeed.

I've tried to actual version on my testserver.

Sadly they could not be completed, and the area cycle was way too big (like stary and novy area together).

Will be a nice choice for missions/AI spawning. ATM i need DZMS and WAI that for ...

ZamboniBambino · July 6, 2014

Yeah, I can see a lot of people are using the master build :) The most recent testing builds do have mission completion and removal of markers, etc. The rest is done, but I'm working on getting the other features completed first, then they will be tied together and made into the Alpha release.

Good things take time :)

ZamboniBambino · July 8, 2014

Quick update -- have had a busy few days, but even with an hour or so spare, still working on ZFM. ZFM is my bedtime reading ;)

Sorry for frivolous updates, but it's important you're aware I'm still working hard to get this release out :ph34r:

freakystyle · July 9, 2014

@ZamboniBambino

i hate if you can see it when Ai is killed. Can you add true or false Zambo ! ;)

Have they changed this? ;) :P

ZamboniBambino · July 9, 2014

Have they changed this? ;) :P

Of course, anything for you, freakystyle ;)

Balor_Gafdan · July 9, 2014

Waiting impatiently ;) for this release. It has so much potential!

Darihon · July 10, 2014

So, u got your own section, huh? Nice! Can't wait for the release!

ZamboniBambino · July 10, 2014

Waiting impatiently ;) for this release. It has so much potential!

Hehe, I'm impatient to release it! It's close to release, I can assure you! When it's ready, it will blow your mind.

BetterDeadThanZed · July 10, 2014

Sorry I haven't been testing lately. I've been very busy with my server. Hopefully we'll have a nice release to test out soon.

freakystyle · July 10, 2014

Of course, anything for you, freakystyle ;)

Thank you :wub:

ZamboniBambino · July 11, 2014

I am adding various posts to the main forum now so that they can be split out and viewed easily by anyone wanting to see progress. I have also created 2 threads: one German, one Dutch. I have asked @freakystyle to look after this and hopefully @Darihon will manage the Dutch translations.

@Phobix will be managing the feature requests and release co-ordination, and I will be continuing development along with @Darihon who I will give more work to do as things get moving :)

sego · July 11, 2014

Is the original post the most updated version? because i tried using it and stuff is on top of each other and the missions are not clearing out

ZamboniBambino · July 11, 2014

Is the original post the most updated version? because i tried using it and stuff is on top of each other and the missions are not clearing out

Nope, the "master" zip in the original post hasn't been updated for a while as all current progress is being made in the "testing" and "devel" branches in the gitHub page. If you're wanting the feature-complete version, I would wait for the alpha release which should be done soon.

If you really want to test out some of the newer features, download the zip of the most recent testing build, however, I hope to get a test build with all the new features in it on Sat/Sun this week. That's why whenever I post, a load of people check the post to see if it's been released yet. Eager beavers :wub:

ZamboniBambino · July 13, 2014

Keep your eyes peeled today and this week. I've got free time to develop today. ;)
