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

[CH!LL3R]

 

Please tell me what You want next:

Absolutely:

- Under water missions (we already have the gear to dive).

- Static AI spawns (defending a town/base You set up).

Would be nice:

- simultaneous Missions

- Roaming bandit groups

My own idea:

A mission, where you need to enter an "AI-base" and to reach a Highloot-Crate without getting spottet by the AI.

If they detect you, the Loot-Crate will despawn and you will only have the loot from the AI....

[KiloSwiss]

Thanks for all Your suggestions so far.

@DirtySanchez

You have to replace the content of the init.sqf only.

Ah and You can now set markers on the Map in the editor and define them as "no spawn zones".

By default it is only the respawn area, but feel free to add new places where no missions spawn.

@Nasdero

Follow the install instructions inside the readme.txt step by step and update Your init.sqf

It's really not that hard.

Greez KiloSwiss

 

Not that easy, cause I am using Taviana ;). But I solved it, didn't recognized, that you change the init also.

 

I would prefer that in that order :) :

- Static AI spawns (defending a town/base You set up).

- More/Dynamic missions (vehicles/convoys).

- Roaming bandit groups (2-4 units) randomly walking trough the forests.

Works great.  Only "issue" is that missions start immediately on server startup if one player is connected.  Which is really ok, but it's nice to have a few minutes for players to get in the server and set before a mission begins.

 

I have the same problem and also one mission starts as soon as the previous one has been won or timed out, I'm also running VEMF as well so would be nice to spread the time out a bit and also make the mission time a little longer, say 30 minutes instead of 15 as a mission will end if you start engaging them and then the 15 minute timer runs out.

[jox]

Inscy, its in test mode read the readme file in the download it tells you how to set from true to false.

[buddy74]

@Xatu and @Incsy .go into sem pbo find  initMissions.sqf inside that look for SEM_debug =true; make it false; 

[KiloSwiss]

Just ignore these people.

If they ignore the advice in the Post, the name "EXPERIMENTAL" (which is obviously not meant for beginners) and don't read what is written inside the readme.txt, they don't deserve any form of support from our side.

My advice to everyone that can't read:

Better host a BF server, or simply stick to playing A3 and let the others host servers You can then play on.

And the argument about "everyone has to start at somd point" or "everyone was once a beginner" does not count here, because there are tons of other missions/mods where beginners can learn how to be an admin and add/edit mods/scripts besides the ALPHA (Read it again: ALPHA) release of EPOCH.

@Xatu

I really thought I fixed this issue.

Excuse me but goddamn that annoys me.

Can You please use the old fn_getWorldData.sqf with the fixes from the posts a few pages ago (meaning the one You used with v0.7.1) and report back if it works with the new v0.8

I really need to install Tavi and Bornholm and finally fix this issue for the stable release of v0.8

Greez KiloSwiss

[Xatu]

I will try it :) 

ähm debug on or off ?
I mean for the RPT Debug is very useful :P

[buddy74]

hey KiloSwiss .6 hours in no problems at all .love the new AI .need more bullets now.

[KiloSwiss]

@Xatu

At first:

Thanks for Your help!

Yes try it with debug on first, and then You can turn it off to play.

Thanks Jox & Buddy, and Kilo i did read the readme but it does state above the debug option "DO NOT EDIT BELOW THIS LINE!"  so there you go, i do read the read me's and also follow instructions but when something says "DO NOT EDIT BELOW THIS LINE!" it does confuse things slightly.

[buddy74]

Did you read this. so be warned if You want to use v0.8 on Your public Server and make sure You set "SEM_debug" from "true" to "false" inside the file initMissions.sqf if You do so!

hi, @SEM V8 works very well.   ^_^

There is only one problem: once the mission ended everything disappears after 30 seconds (box, weapon, all)

thank you for your relentless work

[Xatu]

Np but this is a howl ne World for me but i do my best :P

 

Now it looks Betters but the Missions don´t spwan ^^

Still working flawless. The players love the new AI activity, these missions rock!!

 

Just throwing this out there as an idea.

 

I played on an Arma 2 server a little while back that had AI hunt you pretty much as soon as you spawned. You new it cause they used the radio channel to target the "survivor" and they would use your in game name. Like "survivor cyncrwler spotted, eliminate the threat" and then if or when you were able to hide from their line of sight, they would call on the radio they lost site, and to break off pursuit. Was some serious fun I thought. They also had both roaming bandits and heros, and they would engage each other at times, which was really cool.

 

Also, a roaming bandit helicopter is the ultimate in scary, really keeps you on your toes!

Xatu "#SEM: Mission Addons By Leigham" what is this

No because its not on the read me file........

[buddy74]

good advice read from page 1 to 34 .it's so easy.read everything.

 

Xatu. you do not f--k with people's scripts."#SEM: Mission Addons By Leigham"  WHY

 

your problem is not with sem Xatu

[Fog Horn]

A Roaming AI group ( infantry ) , A Roaming Ai group ( Motorized ) , A Roaming Ai Heli Team

[cyncrwler]

No because its not on the read me file........

Experimental versions are ALWAYS set to debug=true. Kilo has stated this from the beginning. Like he said earlier, if you don't understand how to do some basic editing of files, just use the current stable release, and wait for this version to become full release, and then update.

 

And as always, read, read, and read some more. The answer is always out there!

[Darth_Rogue]

Static AI points would be awesome.  Having the option to have them spawn at random from an array of previously chosen coords would be the ideal way to do it so you don't have 100 units on the map at once.

Roaming AI would be great too, but that's on the "want" list instead of a must.

[horbin]

You all need to run a headless client! :) 

[Darth_Rogue]

I don't have enough players to worry about it *yet*.  Even then, I certainly hope that running 60 players with a max of 20 AI on the map shouldn't eat all my CPU.
