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

[KiloSwiss]

Check Your rpt logs, client and serverside.

[Meloen]

Thanks for this great mod, the players on my server really like it! Even more missions would be very appreciated :-)

[KiloSwiss]

@Meloen
Adding new missions for the second/parallel running missions thread, is the next thing I will do.

Water and under water missions will follow after that.

Roaming AI, patrols and stuff can be spawned by using one of the other AI addons, I will focus on more and interesting missions with SEM.

@BetterDeadThanZed
If you need any further assistance or better insights in the code, feel free to send me a PM (I usually don't answer PMs).
Meeting on a TS or Skype could be an option too, but I believe our different timezones will be a ploblem there.

Inside the file "fn_spawnAI.sqf" which is located in the folder "scripts\ai\"

Will this work:

_unit forceAddHeadgear "H_70_EPOCH";

[KiloSwiss]

Start A3 with the EPOCH Mod, open the editor and try it out.

 

Greez KiloSwiss

Yes, that works ;)

I totally love this idea. Your mission system is quite unique, and so much fun. I love how you specialize in what is not being written by others already. Thank you for that!!

[Lost_Noob]

I cannot find this:

 

Step 4.
    IMPORTANT: If You use infiSTAR AntiHack change the following setting from "true" to "false":
    /* Check Local Markers */ _CLM = false; /* true or false */

 

What file am I looking for that contains this info? The server owner installed it not me.

 

EDIT:

 

Also the missions do not have a marker, notify when mission spawned or completed.

 

Is this to do with the above Step 4 question I had?

[KiloSwiss]

«If You use infiSTAR AntiHack»

Do You use infis AH on your server?

[Lost_Noob]

«If You use infiSTAR AntiHack»

Do You use infis AH on your server?

 

"<infiSTAR.de> +++PlayerConnected:

 

Yup...not my choice. I'm helping a friend out and he bought it for his server.

 

Its not on my server.

 

We haven't updated SEM yet...kinda used his as a test server lol

[KiloSwiss]

No need to quote the last post.

 

Read the readme that is coming with infis AH and/or contact him directly for support.

I don't own infis AH and therefore (as already statet several times before in this thread) do not give any support.

[Lost_Noob]

Ok removed and added previous version to friends server - that works for him.

 

 

Installed latest version to my server (no infinistar).

 

18:32:14 "#SEM: Running Mission 1 "Strange Device" at Position [9066.08,18891.4,0]"

18:32:16 "#SEM: Spawned 7 units at position [9066.08,18891.4,0]"

18:32:16 "#SEM: Mission AI waiting for their first encounter"

 

Mission spawns. AI there, No markers or notification box top right corner like previous versions. The AI do respond etc as if mission was normal. Just no markers or notifications.

 

And since installing the status bar previously working...vanished.

Getting errors since I changed the skins and headgear. Here's some errors from my logs:

Here's the iniform section I am using:

Here is the section where gear, uniforms, etc get added:

Did I mess something up by doing this?

[KiloSwiss]

@Lost_Noob

I don't know what You're doin wrong.

Take the last working backup of Your files, do the installation carefully and step by step, then check the logfiles of both server and client for errors and fix them.

@BetterDeadThanZed

Please pack all edited files and the logs into one .zip and attach them to a PM You write me, so we don't spam the thread.

Switching back to the regular fn_spawnAI fixed the errors. Something about what i did apparently caused a problem. Just a feature request - allow admins to choose default skins for the AI or specify skins (and headgear and anything else they have) in a config. Might be a nice feature down the road.

[KiloSwiss]

You already can, only some basic editing of the right arrays is needed to do so.

Greez KiloSwiss

[Lost_Noob]

Ok, done as you said and no errors, but they won't spawn.

 

I do get these errors tho in the rpt that weren't there before.

 

11:20:46 Error: Bone jaw_rs doesn't exist in skeleton OFP2_ManSkeleton

11:20:46 Error: Bone jaw doesn't exist in skeleton OFP2_ManSkeleton

[BetterDeadThanZed]

Greez KiloSwiss

 

Yes, but what I'm suggesting is a place to edit it without going down to the scripts/ai folder and then looking through code that has to be edited because obviously when I edited it, something wasn't right and it caused errors. It's safer for someone to edit a list of skins/headgear in a config file that then passes those settings on to the script, much in the way that A3EAI works.

[KiloSwiss]

Okay I can move the AI loadouts to a separate Config file and add some descriptions.

That's a good idea to make editing a bit easyer for the users.

I'm creating a custom mission for SEM.  For this mission I'm also creating a custom crate with certain items in it.  How do I get the mission to spawn a specific crate in a win condition versus using the current crate spawner which selects crates at random?

[GH-SQ-DELTA]

Big THX 4 this Mission System, love it !  :)

But i have one question, will "SEM" support "@mas" Weapons in the Future ?

 

regards,

DELTA

[KiloSwiss]

@Darth_Rogue

Read the header inside the file "fn_crateLoot.sqf"

More examples:

[_box] call SEM_fnc_crateLoot; == Random loadout (1, 2, 3 or 4) is selected.
[_box, 0] call SEM_fnc_crateLoot;	== Loadout 0 is selected (base building material).
[_box, 8] call SEM_fnc_crateLoot;	== Loadout 8 is selected (needs to be created first).
[_box, 5+(random2)] call SEM_fnc_crateLoot;	== Random loadout 5, 6 or 7 is selected.

@GH-SQ-DELTA

I can add support for MAS Weapons with auto detection of the addon.

Will not be implemented in the next update, but I write it on the "to do" list.

@BetterDeadThanZed

Use "addHeadgear" and not "forceAddHeadgear" because that command does not exist.

The default fn_spawnAI also has "addHeadgear", You only have to change the ClassName to "H_70_EPOCH".

So changing this:

_unit addHeadgear format["H_%1_EPOCH", ceil(random 104)];

to this should work?

_unit addHeadgear "H_70_EPOCH";

[KiloSwiss]

Again: Start Arma with EPOCH Mod, go to the Editor and try it out.

Greez KiloSwiss

[BetterDeadThanZed]

So you don't know if that's the correct code to give them the headgear? I know the classname is correct because it's what i use with A3EAI and VEMF.

I have no idea how to load SEM in the editor. I only know how to create add ons for the map.

BTW you should ask for a subforum. Having all the discussion for such a big project in one thread is not a good idea and it causes the same questions to be asked over and over and causes you to become frustrated at people asking questions and you snap at them.

[KiloSwiss]

No, don't load SEM, only EPOCH, go to the editor place a unit and klick on "preview".

Then use player instead of _unit and it will add the headgear to Your player and Yes that code works if You use the right command (addHeadgear), since it's the same Command I already use in SEM and it works 100%.
