VEMF - Vampire's Epoch Mission Framework

[mimic]

Well we've used the default mission on several servers and crate location is always at the first letter of the town name on the map. Shift and left click on the first letter on the map to set a waypoint and we find the crate every time. Not sure why it's not there for you unless the mission has been modified.

I think he was expecting something to show up when he put his mouse cursor over the first letter of the city.

It would be important also a display on the map where is the mission, because sometimes you forget the name of the city.
In addition, people see the newly unable to join on the server, where and whether your mission running.

I'm pretty sure TheVampire has said a few times he does not want to put map markers.

[TheKnightTemplar]

I'm pretty sure the default mission included is just an example of what can be done with the framework. Map markers are easy to add if you want to customise the mission for your server.

From what i can read of nearly all of your comments, you guys are way more in to all this server stuff than i am.... :-)
Vampire....i tryede to follow your video and putede the files up to oure server ( the 3 files ) but it dosent seem to work ....do i have to put the rest of the folder somehere diffrent or ???

The idea of the random mission encounters looks so cool.

 

As i started saying...im totaly new to all of this servermodding stuff. so any help would be apriciated...

So when can we expect the next update to the mission system or is it completed?

 

I imagine it will need some changes when next version of Epoch comes around?

Refer to post #775 , Reading is so difficult

[omega13]

having also the issue with people being teleported away from the mission spawn crates with loot in them as soon as they get close they go back 15m so they cant get the loot

[Moody]

Can anyone tell me why the crate keeps bouncing up and down when it spawns and then dissapears? We are not able to loot that crate that buggs and dissapears. It only happens every now and then(but i feel like its happening too often).

[Fog Horn]

@Omega13 , it's related to your AH , read previous posts for a solution

 

@Moody , same as above I believe

[horbin]

Its the box type you are using. Just avoid that box type, because InfiStar is using it for adminboxes.

 

Fully configurable is what ya really need :)

[grafzahl]

So to clearify: There wont be any Update till epoch 0.3 is out?

 

What a shame :( This is the only real mission-system currently on the market, A3EAI is cool, but its not a real "mission", SEM ist for derps... the AI is so dump, the missions are so easy... you could also shoot chickens, no real thread.

 

VEMF is not overblowen, slim, easy to install... but it crashes my server from time to time with "Join to another group" rpt-spams, then there are "disappearing AI", that wont let missions be completed... when the completion chance is at 80%.

 

PLEASE make a hotfix or something, i dont think that 0.3 will waste your complete framework... ive seen you already did a lot of work on the next version, please pop it out :)

[VAKE]

I had this on my server for a little while, but removed it due to no marker/notification system other than one message on one radio channel.

 

However, the proposed updates look promising. I'll definitely be keeping an eye on its progression.

[TheVampire]

I'm going to be working on pushing the next update through today and tomorrow.

 

Sorry for missing the video promise. It's not VEMF-related and I didn't have time to render it yet.

 

Sorry to keep everyone waiting.

[Major Khunt]

great news, great work, no need for apologies 

[Guest]

You do you, pimpin'! Great work.. worth the wait! B)

[grafzahl]

Good News, keep pushing F5 now :D

DUDE!

 

Read his install guide!

 

ExecVM "\VEMF\Scripts\VAllowDamage.sqf"; should not be running client side.

 

1. Download the Github Zip folder and open it with your unPacker of choice. You can find the newest release here:

   https://github.com/SMVampire/VEMF/releases

2. Extract it to your Desktop or somewhere where you won't lose it. Inside the Zip is this Readme.MD, and the folders "Binaries", "Changelogs", "Mission Files", and "VEMF".

3. Open the "Mission Files" folder where you will see "init.sqf" and "initServer.sqf". You need to put these two files in your Mission.PBO (or Folder) alongside your description.ext file. If you already have an "init.sqf" there, you will need to open my version and copy the contents to your existing file.

4. Open the "Binaries" folder where you will find "VEMF.PBO". You need to navigate to the "@EpochHive\Addons" folder on your server and copy "VEMF.PBO" into it.

5. (Options) You can edit "VEMFConfig.sqf" to your liking. It is located in the "VEMF.PBO". You can also instead put a copy of "VEMFConfig.sqf" in your Mission.PBO for easier edits. The server checks the Mission.PBO for the Config before checking the server side. The Mission.PBO version takes precedence.

One of my absolute favorite things to do in Epoch are the Dynamic Town Invasions. The loot might be meh, but damn, the fun factor is out of control. Patiently awaiting the next update. Take all the time you need. I personally would rather get things done right, than to rush something out to appease the masses, just to need a bunch of hot fixes.

 

Thank you! Thank you!

Read his install guide!

It is truly amazing what you can learn by reading. I hate to sound like a douche, but seriously. I am a new server owner, have been running my own server and installing these scripts for about three and a half months, so I know what I am saying when I say it is easy if you follow the basic instructions. You can't cut corners, you can't come into the mix on page #40, and not read through everything that has been said until then.

 

Read read read, and make sure you fully understand before installing. And if reading isn't your thing "don't be a server admin for one!" TheVampire created a video of the install!!

Vampire -

 

First of all, NICE WORK! Now, on to the real reason for the post. Lately my missions have been running smoothly, then dissappearing for days. No reason or clue as to why, but my players are starting to notice that they've gone and voice how they miss them terribly. I haven't seen anything in the logs to give a clue as to why they stop, but here and there they do, and they hang up for quite a while. Sometimes a couple manual restarts will jog them back online again, but can't put my finger on why the messages and ai stop

[BeligerantRhino]

So i fixed everything. I have not sen any mission go off at all. Is there a certain thing i can look for on the .rpt?
