#SEM - Simple Epoch Missions v0.8.1 + 0.8.3 test

[nishma]

Hello . loving the missions. i have a question or 2  , Is there a way to have certain loot boxes spawn at certain missions ,  eg: supply van crash i would like to have building supplies  kinda like the ikea truck crash missions from  a2  .

and my 2nd question , how can i make more ai spawn at certain missions.  3rd question  can static weapons be spawned at the missions and manned by the ai , something like a .50cal hmg on tripod 

 

thanks for the missions and look forward to your reply's.

Do the mission run regardless of a player being online or not?

 

If they do is it possible to put a condition in that at least a single player needs to be online before it starts the missions up?

[cyncrwler]

The AI sit disabled until a player (thread) becomes active, then the mission starts. The missions will time out regardless of activity though.

missions seem to spawn on the top edge of the cherno map? almost off the map itself 

[pr0dukt]

Occasionally, yes. They are randomly generated within the maps borders. So it will happen. I can't see that being a big deal though. gives players a reason to go north occasionally.

np just had 2 in a row on the edge of a map so i was unsure it that was like it 100% of the time.

Normally they should fire everything, including Rockets into the direction of Your vehicle, but I only testet it with the default spawning cars.

Normal AI behaviour is, that they don't fire, if they can't harm the target with their weapon.

So AI will never shoot at a Tank with a pistol, unless this pistol fires RPG rounds :)

But the AT guy shoul've fired a few rockets at Your Strider.

Have you tried this- http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=21935

Nice work man,ty.

in the download read the READme.txt and add the battleye filters to the end of which ever script is kicking you

[frankcadilack]

Hello) encounter this error message when you approach a mission because of which I was kicked from server -CreateVehicle Restriction #1

[Incsy]

works a treat and very easy to set up, had it up and running in like 5 minutes.

 

Nice work KiloSwiss

Study the associated links and report back.   :)

or don't be a server admin :) too many servers online, we don't need another poorly ran one with admins that have no clue how the game works.

True, but consider this....many of us run solid servers these days, but we had to start learning somewhere.  Why not give him the same opportunity to sink or swim? :)

ArmA Servers work like this:

- Server starts and gets into a waiting state, called "creating".

- First client connects and starts the Mission by pressing OK on the briefing screen.

- Then The Server loads the missions init files, and all MOD config Entrys with the "postinit" flag (like my SEM).

What you are demanding is already the normal behaviour and could've easily been checked by reading the servers logfile (.RPT) and watching the timestamps.

Nice work man,ty.

AI does not accept any Waypoints or move commands after their locality has been changed via setOwner.

Please read the issue I linked in the first post (in the spoiler, right before the download), or read one of the other Posts in this Thread where I explain it several times.

btw.

Your link was broken, fixed it in the quote.

To everyone demanding BE filter files:

Learn to do it by Yourself (considering the mass of tutorials and examples out there, everyone can!), this tutorial will help You to understand it better:

Someone without the basic knowledge about ArmA Servers should definitely NOT host a Early ALPHA MOD and try to customize it, at all!

There are much easyer ways to learn how to edit the basic stuff in ArmA (open pbo containers, understand sqf syntax, add exceptions to Your BE filters etc.) than the EPOCH MOD in its current ALPHA state.

Back then when I had my first (car) driving lession, I was not taking a seat in a F1 car, trying to compete with Michael Schumacher and started complaining that I don't know how to keep this wheeled rocket on the track.

I was learning the theory first and then started driving with a normal car in a driving shool.

Can we spawn 2 missions at once ?

And thanks for the missions :)

[KiloSwiss]

Currently not, I will maybe implement that in a future version, but first I will create new, more interesting missions to keep the players entertained.

[EL BARTO]

Can't wait for more missions kilo...hope it will be soon...good work

A moving convoy of vehicles to ambush would be good :)
