VEMF - Vampire's Epoch Mission Framework

[Xatu]

Hey i host a Taviana Server and try to get the Bots on Sektor B

 

I did this :

// AI Group Count per City

// Default is 3 Groups

VEMFGroupCnt = 6;

 

// Enable Timeout?

// In false waits forever

VEMFTimeout = false;

 

// Blacklist Zone Array -- missions will not spawn in these areas

// format: [[x,y,z],radius]

// Ex: [[06325,07807,0],300] //Starry Sobor

VEMFBlacklistZones = [

[[6803,7344,344],17000],

[[24429.4,1339.08,39.757],300]

 

_townArr = nearestLocations [_cntr, ["NameCityCapital","NameCity","NameVillage"], 30000];

 

But the Mission don´t come  :(

My guess would be all those other errors.

Can you post your config to pastebin?

[Xatu]

Debug is true for searching issues.

I tested on and off

It should be running just fine, but it looks like I forgot to add the blacklist check to town finding. I'll have it fixed for the next version.

Check your github :)

The code for that won't be done until the next update.

Hey Mates,

 

I try to reconfig my Crates, but i have a Probelm.

4 Example into the crate spawn list i add 2 Weapons like "m4a3" and maybe "m249" what ever... 

if the crate spawns, there are 2 "m4a3" and 5 "m249" in there, where can i set, that every item spawn only one time so if i add 1 "m4A3" and 2 "Magazines" only this 3 items spawn ???
I want add a lot of Wepaons from @mas with about 5-10 Magazines per Weapon, but ever only 1 Weapon.

Thx 4 help.

regards,

DELTA

On our server I added a mission failure message for towns that timeout:

 

if (!_wait) exitWith {
        diag_log text format ["[VEMF]: DynTownInv: Post failure message."];
        _msg = format ["%1's village elder was executed.", (_canTown select 0)];
        _msg = [_msg,"MISSION FAILED!"];
        _alert = [_msg] call VEMFBroadcast;
       diag_log text format ["[VEMF]: DynTownInv: Mission Ended for Timeout."];
       VEMFTownInvaded = nil;
};

[ElricMelnibone]

Having a problem where a group of people in a vehicle only the owner/driver is getting the mission messages.

 

Looking at:  VFunctions.sqf

 

    _curRad = 0;
    _send = false;
    // Find a Radio to Broadcast To
    while {true} do {
        {
            if ((_eRads select _curRad) in (assignedItems _x)) exitWith {
                _send = true;
            };
            if (_forEachIndex == ((count _allUnits)-1)) then {
                _curRad = _curRad + 1;
            };
        } forEach _allUnits;
        
        if (_send) exitWith {};
        if (_curRad > ((count _eRads)-1)) exitWith
        {
            /* No Radios */
        };
    };
    
    if (_send) then {
        {
            if ((_eRads select _curRad) in (assignedItems _x)) then {
                VEMFChatMsg = _msg;
                (owner (vehicle _x)) publicVariableClient "VEMFChatMsg";
                _sent = true;
            };
        } forEach _allUnits;
    } else {
        _sent = false;
    };

 

---------------------------

 

                VEMFChatMsg = _msg;
                (owner (vehicle _x)) publicVariableClient "VEMFChatMsg";

 

 

Is there another way to handle the send so all players in a vehicle will get the message?

[horbin]

Add the GetIn EH to the server code that generates the vehicle. (this EH has to run on the server because it uses 'idowner'

Add the PVEH to the code that initializes the mod for your clients.

  _veh addEventHandler ["GetIn",
    {
        _owner = _this select 2;
        _idowner = owner _owner;
        TEMPVEHICLE = true;
        idowner publicVariableClient "TEMPVEHICLE";      
    }];


    "TEMPVEHICLE" addPublicVariableEventHandler
    {
        systemChat "Warning! This vehicle will disappear on server restart!";
    };

I am trying to increase the amount of custom loot the create will spawn - seems to pics them at random thats fine i would just like to make it pick more.

 

also works amazingly!

[Lost_Noob]

I've tried to set increased crate loot number, which didn't work -  and the missions didn't notify or in most cases...AI/Missions didn't spawn? So reset to default and it worked...

 

I've also got this random issue where some players see the Mission start message top right of screen. But some hear it but don't see it...other players see it but don't hear it...?

 

Also  there is nothing in the RPT to show an error. And also noticing the instead of the 12 AI that used to spawn...it's now anywhere between 3 and 9 AI?

 

EDIT:

Just done a mission with a few players - 8 total AI kills. Cannot find anymore and the mission is not completed. Town was Neochori

[Lost_Noob]

just re-installed and sometimes no notification of mission...but AI numbers have returned to normal.

You would have to modify the code to check if the weapon is already in the crate.

There will be support for spawns in the next update not attached to a town.

There isn't a way to avoid this right now. vehicle _x returns the truck, and owner returns the driver.

    };
   

 

There isn't a reason to add this yet as there are no vehicle missions yet. In the next update when vehicles get added this is already added.

THX 4 help, but i think i cant handle that.

i dont know how it works  :lol:  :unsure:  :wacko:  :blink:

[Metalfoundry]

When will the new mission be ready? :-)

[horbin]

_listObjectsInVehicle = (vehicle _x) crew;

 if (_send) then {
        {
            if ((_eRads select _curRad) in (assignedItems _x)) then {
                VEMFChatMsg = _msg;
                {
                  (owner _x) publicVariableClient "VEMFChatMsg";
                  _sent = true;
                } crew (vehicle _x);
            };
        } forEach _allUnits;

This might do it. 'crew' should return everyone inside the vehicle.

 

Or remove the 'vehicle' from (vehicle _x)

 if (_send) then {
        {
            if ((_eRads select _curRad) in (assignedItems _x)) then {
                VEMFChatMsg = _msg;
                (owner _x) publicVariableClient "VEMFChatMsg";
                _sent = true;
            };
        } forEach _allUnits;

unless it is intended that only the driver of a vehicle should hear a message......

 

or maybe I am just confused as to why (vehicle _x) is being used in the original code.

I'm fairly certain owner needs an object, and giving it a unit would make it fail.

I'll change the code in a new version to check its a man or use the crew command.

[horbin]

Units are objects.  The sticker comes when you work with 'groups', those are a different data type.  But to date, I have found that units, players, vehicles, are all base type 'objects' and any function that works on an object works on players, untis, vehicles, etc....

 

groups, waypoints, triggers, etc are different, unless you come up with a mechanism to typecast them...

In the towns of Dorida and Zaros the crate still spawns in a building and blows up. Have the latest version running. was testing it out this morning.
