Fulcrum Mission System v2.1a

[FSB_RU]

As for each mission to write separately loot?

[spartan]

spartan, you can also run the HC and the Server on the same machine.

This will use the cpu more even (Arma is not really multicore compatible).

Thank you He-Man I had a feeling I had heard this somewhere although I do not think I will be going for a dedicated box just yet which is a pity but at least I know now.

Did anyone tried to edit GlobalLootData or BaseLoot file? I just want to add there some weapons and stuff from RHS:Escalation mod. But when i did that, for example in HeliCrash mission it causes an error like: "config.bin/CfgWeapons" stuff... and RHS weapons doesn't apear at HeliCrashes... But if i use standart items like Navid, SPMG and etc. it works fine!

Hello the Horbin,

Are you aware of any issue with the headless client and the latest upgrade of Arma3 (1.52) I seem to be having issues with my server freezing after a few minutes when I have the headless client running, After about 5 minutes the server will unfreeze and everything works fine. if I disable the headless client and FUMS I am working fine.

Thanks

I have the latest, and it doesn't crash. Just ran it for 12 hours.

Had the same issue. Just delete: init="this enableSimulation false; this allowDamage false"; for the HC in the mission.sqm.

I think you not must have this, when the HC stays save in the spawn box.

When you have added the "hunger.sqf", you also can add it here. I haven't done this:

uisleep 300;
player allowdamage false;
player enablesimulation false;
while {true} do
{
EPOCH_playerHunger = 5000;
EPOCH_playerThirst = 2500;
uisleep 1800;
};

This may of been raised somewhere in this post, but I am lazy and cant be arsed to read thro 43 pages of, some sensible others very much not, answers. So I was wondering if it is possible to run this very cool system on a Dedi system? 

[exploadead]

Hi! This mission system is great. But my players have started complaining for pretty weak bots... I've changed every bot skills to 1,1,1,1,1,1 and now snipers become a little more accurate and spot the targets in a bit longer distance (about 600m), but still i believe this is not a limit. All other types of AI are remaining dumb:) They cant see anyone in 300m distance... even if i shoot them with some HMG with no muzzle etc. I've tried to mess with skill configs... the difference becomes noticeable only with 1,1,1,1,1,1... and even than only for snipers...

[makasouleater]

Would there be any way to add ryan i think zombies and demons to this system? I am trying to figure it out, by looking at how he made the raptors spawn, but i dont understand how it spawns them, when in none of the code it links it to the Jurassic mod.

Well if you mean a dedicated server, then yes, that is what it was designed for. You will need to learn how to use a headless client to make it work right though. Which if you are gonna use that system correctly, you need another server.

Confirm! I use this Mission a bit longer and at the beginning I mean the AI's was harder. Spot distance of about 300 m now. Something changed by Arma? :(

Hello All,

Has anyone had any issues getting the Missions to run on Fums with epoch 0340? I have my HC running successfully but no missions start, it has been working in epoch 0331 and I have made no changes to either my headless client or my fums before I updated my epoch to 0340, and yes I am running fums 2.1 a just incase this is the issue.

Any assistance is appreciated.

Thank you

[prue420]

Anyone know how to remove the map icons for convoy and heli patrols?

[horbin]

prue420,

      Those icons are part of the AI logic defined in the mission file.  Try switching the 'trackroute' logic to 'patrolroute'

 

See the Docs/MissionFile.htm if you need more specifics.

[ReDBaroN]

hey Horbin, been running this pretty much since day 1. awesome work!
 

Quick question, my players get the message, "Donor Bank awards you 100 Krypto" but, the krypto doesn't show up. I'm sure it used to work but, i don't know how far back. Is there a fix for this?

Thanks

[horbin]

@ReDBaroN,

Hey, I have not touched the EPOCH code on this mod in a long while now.  There may have been something that changed with how EPOCH is handling Krypto...

If you are seeing a message, I'm pretty sure it did work at some point. I would not have pushed a public release with something like that broken (at least not on purpose :) ).

Thanks Horbin. Can you advise how I just get rid of the messages completely?

[horbin]

ya, you should be able to go into the globalsoldierdata.sqf and simply remove the award values.

 

[
            ["RESPECT", -1000],
            ["RESCUEGROUP", 500],
            ["RESCUETABS", 250]
        ]

 

change to 

 

[

 

]

 

If that won't work, look in \FuMS\HC\AI\AIKilled.sqf. or ...\PayPlayer.sqf.    In there you should find the code that calls the FuMS_fnc_HC_AI_PayPlayer routine. You can comment that out.

 

[ReDBaroN]

Thanks Horbin! :)

Hey Horbin, in the new version of epoch 038, the mission.sqm has changed considerably and the groups class is no longer there. 

Can you advise how we edit the mission.sqm for the HC in this latest version?

Thanks

[He-Man]

Only an Idea, but you can test:

Spoiler

        class Item3
        {
            dataType="Group";
            side="LOGIC";
            class Vehicles
            {
                items=1;
                class Item0
                {
                    dataType="Object";
                    class PositionInfo
                    {
                    position[]={10720.502,12.714643,11356.243};
                        angles[]={0,4.7169838,0};
                    };
                    side="LOGIC";
                    flags=3;
                    class Attributes
                    {
                        isPlayable=1;
                    };
                    id=4;
                    type="HeadlessClient_F";
                };
            };
            class Attributes
            {
            };
            id=3;
        };

Hi He-Man, sorry I didn't get back on here yet... In the end I just used my old mission.sqm from the older version as that has some custom stuff in there as well for safezones etc.

Thanks for your post above, I was going to go down the road of adding separate block for sensors, markers and groups (for the HC). Had no idea if that would work though as didn't get that far before having the idea of using the old mission.sqm.

I'll try your as soon as the dust has settled a bit more.... :)

[tinboye]

Since the latest epoch mod version has come out, the mission.sqm has completely changed. has anyone been able to add a headless client to the new epochmod 0.3.9?  if so, care to share.

 

I tried adding 

class Item104
		{
			dataType="Group";
			side="LOGIC";
			class Entities
			{
				items=1;
                class Item0
                {
                    position[]={10720.502,12.714643,11356.243};
                    id=100;
                    side="LOGIC";
                    vehicle="HeadlessClient_F";
                    player="PLAY CDG";
                    init="this enableSimulation false; this allowDamage false";
                    leader=1;
                    skill=0.60000002;
                    text="HC_HAL";
                };
			};
			class Attributes
			{
			};
			id=204;
		};

my hc is running, but the mission did not seem to detect the HC.

[tinboye]

so further investigation, i was able to get HC working, but i can only seem to get it to work remotely, I setup a HC from my pc here and connected to the remote server. Yet when i take the exact same bat file, copy that to the server, change the IP address to 127.0.0.1 and try to run it, the client host loads, but never connects to the server.  The server's firewall is disabled. but i am out of ideas what it might be. its a dedicated box with gtx gaming.

 

thanks
