VEMF - Vampire's Epoch Mission Framework

[ElricMelnibone]

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

 

 

Delete the code that attempts to put a scope on the bandit AI weapons 10% of the time.  This is causing an error and stopping the production of new bandits to the mission.  End result not enough to kill to complete the mission!

@ Vampire

 

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.

I have no problems with these towns working just fine.  What box are you spawning?  I had switched to the cargo net as recommended in a previous post in this thread.

Hmmm still the orange box.....  Ok thanks will search back and look for that post.

 

@ElricMelnibone  ok did a search of topic for "cargo net" Im not seeing the post...

[TheVampire]

Sorry guys but the next update is delayed. I am trying to stuff a bunch of new code and features in that I haven't had time to test anything yet and there are still issues.

I'll do my best to try to get it done this weekend and release it.

Ok so what does the crate need to be changed to so it does not blow up when its spawned? Right now it works but in the towns of Dorida and Zaros.

[Humpabry]

is tavi not yet supported mr vampire?

 

ty

[Lost_Noob]

Ok so I just updated SEM and now VEMF has stopped working without any RPT errors...I can see it starting and the watchdog etc but doesn't start the mission/town invasion.

Anyone seen this?

We set ours to one of the Nato_weapons_Crates and all works well

Everytime this has happened right when I had shot a particular AI.

All other AI die normaly, so I'm wondering if once in a while a random AI spawns with some glitch.

They never reach the ground, they freeze half way down and server crashes. Kicking everyone.

Could it be while spawning loot?

 

I'm not running any custom loot, nor have I made any changes to VEMF config.

This also only happens with VEMF and VEMF AI.

[Lost_Noob]

Strange one for you...mission has been at Gravia for the last 3 hours.

 

I went and completed it and when I did.. Arma 3 Server stopped working and crashed the server...??

 

Anyone else seen this?

Got my new mic in thanks to the Patreon Support.

New video coming soon.

Sorry everyone that the updates have started crawling but the new update is larger than many of the past ones, and includes fixes for multiple issues.

[Lost_Noob]

Ok... so I just rebooted the server after adding a statusbar.

 

 

Noticing that VEMF isn't running I check the rpt logs...the log was almost 1mb in size with lines and lines of the same error:

 

>

13:26:26   Error Undefined variable in expression: _timediff

IMHO , you sir need not apoligize for anything , many in this forum take your hard work for granted , and shouldn't . You do this in your spare time and many of us appreciate it greatly . Take your time , get it right , release it when your ready , we can wait . ;)

I would imagine this ^^^ is where your problem lies.

[Lost_Noob]

Ok, got VEMF to stop erroring and filling the rpt files. However now missions/invasions spawning after I did a fresh install of VEMF.

 

Instead I see these errors now:

 

15:04:28 [VEMF]: AllowDamage Applied to 1 Units.

 

Then about 30 seconds later this:

 

15:05:14 Error: selection end1 missing in memory LOD of model a3\structures_f\ind\cargo\cargo20_orange_f.p3d

 

Thern some 3 mins later the first VEMF message starts again... then rinse and repeat

 

Anyone seen this or have a fix?

Remove the line pointing to the damage fix in VEMF's init file in VEMF.pbo. It is no longer needed and is already removed in the next version.

[Lost_Noob]

@Vampire,

 

I changed this by adding // is that correct?:

 

//[] ExecVM "\VEMF\Scripts\VAllowDamage.sqf";

 

Also if I want to add a custom loot instead of dynamic loot for the crate do I just do the following:

 

{"ITEM_IN_THE_LIST",6}

 

Or do I do it a different way?

 

Thanks.

[AndreasRA]

hey vampire,

 

Do you can ask me about the messages to players?

The system all running, no errors, nothing, but i get no messages ingame to phone ?

 

what happen? :(

Hi Vamp,

Just a question is there a miniumim of players that have to be on the server before the system will activate ?
