Website is now up. Will be trying to keep a daily-ish blog on there of my progress with VEMF.

[TheVampire]

The base code for VEMF should now be complete. Over the next few days I'm going to get it error-free.

Once I have the bugs worked out I'll get an Alpha version ready.

Thank you for your hard work TheVampire

Sweet, looking forward to it.

[TheVampire]

Ran into issues bugfixing today. Posted about it on the website.

More work to do like always.

Sorry to hear that Vampire I know working with these scripts can be infuriating and time consuming and I can only offer moral support and sympathy but hope you can crack the nut in due time.  :)

Great work Vampire , I LOVED your mission system with my Arma 2 server and can't wait till I can add this on my Arma 3 server :)

Very much looking forward to this big user of DMZS and EMS, We did allot of custom missions for this so looking to see what you have in store. If you need some testers let us know. 

[DangerClose]

Also looking forward to this - had dzms on my arma 2 server. Seriously cannot wait.

same here i had dzms done a  lot on it  extreme ai ultimate spawn crates etc... etc.... can not wait for new one

[Glenn]

Think most users on the forum here have been a big user of DZMS at one point when running Epoch/Overpoch servers... If you need more test servers to work through bugs, let me know. :D

[TheVampire]

Found the problem I had with the functions. It was some incorrect switch brackets that was causing it.

I decided to stick the functions file in Squint before giving up on it.

Now it's back on to the regularly scheduled bugfixing.

A man can do anything if he has the right tools!   B)

[Friendly]

Are you going to make this script available for headless client in the future?

@TheVampire I have been keeping up with the chatter on github. I don't know if it's epoch or arma but when wrapping any serverside pbo's I've had a lot of issue's with files not being read out of them correctly. I have found that eliteness gives me less issues than pboview or pbo manager or even cpbo. I'm not sure why the server side is so picky but if you have an issue with it not reading a file that is in the pbo try using eliteness to build the pbo. Sounds like you may have already fixed the latest issue you had though... so just some FYI.

machine6fd,

 

I've found the best tool to use is "BinPBO Personal Edition". YOu can use a nice little batch file to auto build the only thing I would say is make sure you use your -PREFIX before the other commands so and example.

@echo off
set BinPBO="C:\Program Files (x86)\Bohemia Interactive\Tools\BinPBO Personal Edition\BinPBO.exe" 

set "buildir=%cd%\"

set "Mission=SOME_COOL_PBO_ADDON"

cd /d %buildir%
mkdir %Mission% > NUL
xcopy /E /Y "_%Mission%\*.*" "%Mission%\*.*" > NUL

%BinPBO% -PREFIX q\addons\%Mission% -INCLUDE *.* "%buildir%\%Mission%" "%buildir%" 

rmdir /S /Q %Mission%

then all you do is just put all your files into the _SOME_COOL_PBO_ADDON then just double click the bat file. 100% build success for me :-)

let me no if you need out tested and ill be glad to try it on my server carnt wait to try the alpha of this

It had ended up that the Function file was being read, but none of the dialog lines in it were running, and no global vars were being sent.

Then the first file called as a global var would come back as undefined.

It's nice to finally see it start without errors. Next I need to see it run everything without an error.

 

Should be just errors with AI spawning/loadout, and after that errors with caching/respawning.

My players are bored of throwing cinder blocks at each other, if you need a test server... Our hands up

So close...I can taste it. I'm so wet for this right now. <3
