I got this to work with another mod but the only way to get ai to shoot at me was to put them to east and if i do that they kill each other to. Is there a way to set them to east and them not kill each other?

[IT07]

I find it a little bit weird to support the usage of another mod on this forum. I am now officially claiming that I will not give support on this forum to users that are not using VEMF for EPoch. If you want VEMF for another mod, wait for official support from me.

[prue420]

Epoch is still the base mod that i am using its a new ranking system i am using with it like how hero bandit just with military ranks.

[prue420]

Figured it out thanks for the awesome mod IT07 keep up the good work.

I've tried installing the new updated script 3 times now and it doesn't seem to be working for us. One install with us changing a lot of the settings, one with us only changing the mission scrolling messages, and once with everything bone stock. The scrolling messages don't show up in the top right but the missions do spawn, but upon killing all of the AI the mission doesn't complete and eventually times out. Is there an .rpt file you need to look at to figure out what's going on? No errors are popping up from that I am seeing however, unless I'm just blind. We reverted back to the release before and everything is back to working correctly.

Also, is there any way to change the mines from AT to APERS?

Hi Gregg,

Do you mind sending me your RPT in a PM? (pastebin.com please)
Maybe I can find something in your logs that indicates what is wrong.
About those messages not showing: make sure that VEMFclient folder is in the root of your mission file. Also send me your description.ext so I can check if the client side part has been correctly installed.

Regards

[Old_Gregg]

I'll get it over to you once I'm home from work. I don't have the description.ext with the newer lines it it anymore since we reverted, but all I did was just remove the old and insert the new lines and repacked the pbo with the VEMFClient in there too.

[serveratze88]

hi, old_gregg you can replace the mines

in the fn_placeMines.sqf line39: _mine = createMine ["ATMine", ([_pos, _min, _max, 2, 0, 20, 0] call BIS_fnc_findSafePos), [], 0];

to

_mine = createMine ["APERSMine", ([_pos, _min, _max, 2, 0, 20, 0] call BIS_fnc_findSafePos), [], 0];

 

greetings

[IT07]

A setting to manage the type of mines will be in the next version currently under development and testing.

I would suggest you try it without changing the launcher options, alternatively run it with just the rpg by editing out the other launchers it is something to do with the ai count that does not allow the mission to complete, hope that helps.

UPDATE!
Small fixes and improved mine fields

HOTFIX
Fixes for loot crate problems

[serveratze88]

hi, new update is  sound by loot box :)

[serveratze88]

hi, loot box sound is buggy!  it sounds not always a sound.

[IT07]

@serveratze88 I am currently investigating the problem. Unfortunately I have not seen this issue myself which makes it hard to analyze and fix the problem. Thanks for reporting it.

[IT07]

UPDATE!
Attempted bug fixes related to the loot crate as well as code structure improvements

[serveratze88]

hi, you can use the marker Loot after 10 min - 20 min  to disappear?

@Scorpi: that means that there is an error in the configuration of your blacklist positions. Next VEMF version will have user-friendly checks to prevent this error.
You can post your blacklist position setting here and I will check if it is ok.

[IT07]

UPDATE!
Several error fixes and lots of new settings :)

[serveratze88]

no missions marker on map if start mission and no loot box at the end of mission

Shame on me, i found my fault, it was the blacklist position.

Perhaps this could be the cause of the previosuly mentioned issue with the missions not showing on the map?
