VEMF - Vampire's Epoch Mission Framework

[spartan]

Well the conclusion I have come to is that Vemf is still broken in it's current form, loot is possible with the fix in this thread but ai numbers are variable, ie can be as little as 2, and the crate spawns as soon as a player is in range instead of at the end of the mission which you are never sure of as there is often no "Town Liberated" message, also at this point I am not sure whether the crates get cleaned up they may just stick around until restart.

 

It would not surprise me if someone has actually sorted these issues out for themselves if they were script smart unfortunately that does not describe me, lol.

Hi, where to change the box was smoke after killing AI. sometimes difficult to find a box

[Almogavar]

Hi and thanks to everybody, i'm reading habitually this forum, it's great. First excuse me for my english. Second tomasz73 when you think the box is respawn watch the map and in the coord of the first letter in the village's name, normally the box spawn.. repeat thanks to everybody.

[tomasz73]

thanks for the hint. But I mean exactly smoke from the box on end for the mission. just like in the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q_zxs0tMVAo. Now I have the orange box I want to change this to the smoking box. How to do it. I use google translator sorry for the bad spelling

This is normal.

A fix for this is posted in this thread just read through it.

[Halvhjearne]

theres an error in the loot system (actually theres a lot of errors and refrences to stuff that does not exsist, but thats another story).

 

in VFunctions.sqf find this line:

_var = (VEMFLootList call BIS_fnc_selectRandom);

change it to this:

_var = (VEMFLootList call BIS_fnc_selectRandom)select 0;

repack and overwrite the old pbo ... you should now get loot in the crates.

[Highlander]

Have an issue where when you first enter the town the mission ends with out killing any AI. Thought I had read a post where someone else was having this issue. Was this ever fixed? I must be missing it...

[Halvhjearne]

VEMF is being designed to be a Mission Framework.

VEMF will be more modular than DZMS allowing anyone to easily create an "Addon" for it.

VEMF will not be a "fetch the box" mission system, it will be much much broader;

A-B, Multiple Ending, Vehicle Convoys, Vehicle Capture, Manhunts, Investigation/Exploration, and more!

VEMF will run entirely on the server side, in a server-side PBO.

 

what happend here ... did you give up on this project?

 

i mean i know its not finished yet, but the amount of bugs in this is horrific, its not exactly modular as is and the fact that you did not answer this thread for about a month and havent touched github in 3 makes me think you arent working on this anymore ...

[Kroenen]

In reference to the missing 'town liberated' messages, the section of code below seems to relate to that function;

// Waits for the Mission to be Completed
VEMFWaitMissComp = {
    private ["_objective","_unitArrayName","_numSpawned","_numKillReq","_missDone"];
	
    _objective = _this select 0;
    _unitArrayName = _this select 1;
	
    call compile format["_numSpawned = count %1;",_unitArrayName];
    _numKillReq = ceil(VEMFRequiredKillPercent * _numSpawned);
	
	diag_log text format["[VEMF]: (%3) Waiting for %1/%2 Units or Less to be Alive and a Player to be Near the Objective.", (_numSpawned - _numKillReq), _numSpawned, _unitArrayName];
	
	_missDone = false;
    call compile format["
		while {true} do {
			if (count %1 <= (_numSpawned - _numKillReq)) then {
				if ((count(_objective nearEntities [['Epoch_Male_F', 'Epoch_Female_F'], 150])) > 0) then {
					_missDone = true;
				};
			};
			if (_missDone) exitWith {};
			uiSleep 5;
		};
	", _unitArrayName];
	
	diag_log text format ["[VEMF]: WaitMissComp: Waiting Over. %1 Completed.", _unitArrayName];
};

The bit that looks odd to me is this bit;

 

_numKillReq = ceil(VEMFRequiredKillPercent * _numSpawned);

 

Should that be 'call'?

 

Hopefully someone who understands code better than I can figure the issue out. Obviously Vamp is unable to contribute at the moment which is a shame, but I'm sure we can suss it out :)

[Halvhjearne]

_numKillReq = ceil(VEMFRequiredKillPercent * _numSpawned);

 

Should that be 'call'?

 

no, but i think its a good idea to make sure that VEMFRequiredKillPercent is set to LESS than 100%, or chances are one ai will get lost and the mission will be impossible to finish.

Tried this fix to get my lootcrates working again, but it now gives the following error;

17:05:31 [VEMF]: WaitMissComp: Waiting Over. VEMFDynInv Completed.
17:05:31 Error in expression <(VEMFLootList call BIS_fnc_selectRandom)select 0;

if (!(_var in VEMFCrateBlackl>
17:05:31   Error Generic error in expression
17:05:31 File VEMF\VFunctions.sqf, line 423

Also getting this, but don't think it's related;

hmm ... sorry but i must have changed something else aswell then, but at current point in time i would not be able to tell you since i modded the shit out of this mission system, after writing that ...

 

not to mention it was full of errors, kinks and lots of unneeded repetitions i had to iron out ...

[Kroenen]

Thanks anyway Halv.

 

I'm pretty much resigned to just dropping VEMF in favour of something else at this point. As you say, since the update, it's pretty broken in its current state.

[sparrow8332]

Yet another great mission system that had such potential left to rot and die :-( such a shame 

[Metalfoundry]

What happended? Is this project dead? ok, i have to say it.. we need HC :-)

[YefimFomin]

I think its pretty messed up people funded this guy and nothing in the end. What a joke.

Making $92.00 a month still... hopefully those people are getting updates that we aren't.

For $8 more a month he will do below, someone should cough that up so we can look forward to updates every week (yes there's some sarcasm):

 

Youtube

$100 per month

I will upload videos to Youtube weekly or more to keep you updated on VEMF progress and allow sneak-peeks of VEMF work, so you can hopefully learn to code SQF better for yourself

EDIT:  I just realized, He's not even following this thread.... Now I consider this project dead.

how about you stop trolling?

 

he is not making 100$ a month, thats what it could be if he had 10 patrons ...

 

now for the fact that the mod is currently dead is true, however there could be any reason for this, who knows what happend, why he is not answering or stopped developing it ... just keep it to yourself if you want to speculate on that without any facts.

[Floyd]

He's down to $52.

Having not heard a peep on the patreon site since he bought his new sound system in February, I've given up hope and pulled my financial support.

I'm all for supporting those that do for the community, but no acknowledgement or communication in three months (other than the Patreon canned Thank You) hurts other Patreon creators. I hope all is well with him.

[Cur]

Could someone with working crates / loot in the crates please post their VFunctions.sqf so those of us having that issue could try and get that working?

 

Just a pastebin link would be awesome... thanks

[JediChris816]

DZMS was really good and I still use it on my Vanilla DayZ server.  Eager to try this new mission system on my A3 Epoch server.

[JediChris816]

Does anyone have a working version of this with all the kinks and bugs worked out?  If so, can you upload to some sort of repo?  It would greatly save future new VEMF users from having to go through 45+ pages and figure out how to make it work properly.  Thanks.
