I've installed this exactly as instructed and it's simply not running, anyone got any ideas?

hi,

bit late, but maybe somebody will find it useful. my problem was, that i had a faulty "$PBOPREFIX$.txt", because the zip from github did not contain a "a3_epoch_wai.pbo" as mentioned in the install notes and i had to make it myself. the " $PBOPREFIX$.txt" was faulty, because the folder structure was incorrect when i created the pbo. you have to rename the folder "a3_epoch_WAI" from the zip to "wai" and put it on "P:\x\addons\wai" and make a pbo out of the "wai" folder and rename the pbo to  "a3_epoch_wai.pbo". i used "eliteness" for making the pbo btw.

Well, I couldn't get the Treasure Hunt mission working so I modified it a bit.

I switched the smartphones to the treasure box (container_epoch).

The trouble with that is the boxes don't stay on the ocean bed. They float to the surface.

So to make it work I changed the MV22 wreck with the Submarine (Submarine_01_F).

I also added 3 OPFOR divers ( O_diver_TL_F ).

So now I call it the Submarine mission and the message for it says there was a submarine accident. The boxes floating around it look like debris from the accident.

Very cool mission now. Last time I tested I had 2 Great whites after me while I was looting :)

If anyone cares to try it out, here are my changes:

Edit: I'm wondering about the trigger when player gets to center of mission and you get the message: "Mission secure" and the marker disappears.

I have to dive to the bottom when the mission is in deep water to trigger it.

Is there any way to change the distance to trigger?

I'm having a problem with this mission.

When players get close to the treasure boxes ( container_epoch ) they disappear.

Could it be infistar maybe?

They don't disappear when I play the mission and I'm admin.

Hey guys. Can someone please load up the current version of WAI. I don't find it on github...

I use a version from github, that comes without pbo, and it doesnt run.

Please, wanna get this working on my server.

[Grahame]

And WAI had dependencies on the playableunits() call that is such a problem after the recent ARMA upgrade. If anyone wants it I have a version with those replaced with allplayers() in dropbox:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/7o2tojbdtav6r0v/a3_epoch_WAI.pbo?dl=0

This also includes my fix in missionwinorfail.sqf (and other files) to prevent the missions hanging when the timer expires.

[Drokz]

@Grahame i just tried ur version of WAI but the crates doesnt seem to load right when finishing the mission. 

Having these lines in RPT:

[Grahame]

Can you post your config in a spoiler or message me with it and I'll take a look. I do not have that issue.

[Giggles]

@Grahame@Drokz Did you guys find a fix to this? Seems I'm having the same issue.

[Grahame]

@GigglesAs I said, I never had that issue, still don't. Anything in your RPT file? Would assume an error in the config file though

[Giggles]

This, starting since i added the .pbo into my @epochhive/addons

2018/05/09, 15:23:45 Error in expression < ["CfgMainTable", _type, "tables"] call EPOCH_fnc_weightedArray;

This now spamming the RPT

MV-22 Spawned underwater on Tanoa, and the first time i tried it there was a filled yellow circle, dont remember what the mission name was. No one spawned there, the crate was empty and then i was blackscreened until i removed it, and it was spamming this

2018/05/08, 17:00:24 Error in expression <ount (units _group) < _cnt} do {

2018/05/08, 17:00:24 File sem\scripts\ai\fn_spawnAI.sqf [SEM_fnc_spawnAI], line 21

Attempting to test it just now, like i said, MV-22 missions spawned underwater, the Comms center was full of people and without godmoding i wasnt able to complete it in time to test the crate.. Seems to somewhat working however so i might just go through and remove all the missions that are having problems.

[Grahame]

First error has nothing to do with WAI... that's a problem with your Epoch install.

Second problem is nothing to do with WAI... it's an error in Simple Epoch Missions (SEM) due to a change in ARMA3 1.72 (iirc) when they added verification of ENUM values. Replace the "NO_COLLIDE" in line 21 of sem\scripts\ai\fn_spawnAI.sqf with "NONE" and that one will be fixed. In addition also see:

The third problem is a WAI issue... The MV-22 water mission in A3 WAI never worked afaik. Just remove it...

[Giggles]

Figured it was just mission specific issues, Ill just take those ones out, yesterday was a seperate issue from this it seems. So thanks for the help, i appreciate it.

[C4-timah]

Is there a working link to download WAI to be installed on Epoch Altis? I currently have epochz and A3EAI running on my server. Not sure if adding WAI will tank performance but I'd like to give it a shot if anyone has a working link?

 

Thanks!

Thanks He-Man, just noticed that was a couple response above. By chance is there any specific install instructions? I was going to follow the instructions at the start of this post but there is no wai folder, just Grahame's pbo...

I've been trying to run this version of WAI.

The default PBO runs fine but if I edit and repbo it I get this error: Warning Message: Script x\addons\wai\fn_init.sqf not found

Even if I just repack the PBO without any editing I get the same error in rpt and WAI doesn't load. No missions appear.

I know this is old but just wondered what the difference could be between default pbo and repacked?

 

Thank you.

Sounds like the pbo prefix isn't being set correctly...

Thanks, I finally figured it out.

I had never dealt with that before but now I get it.

I altered the MV22 mission. I switched to Submarine and got those containers to sit on the sea floor. Scary mission in the dark deep waters of Altis ;)

 

Thanks for the reply.
