[CONTINUED] blckeagls' AI Mission Version 7.06 Build 239

[Ghostrider-GRG]

thanks. It is very strange. The message in the logs suggests it is the epoch server deleting it. I did check that the proper code was used to register vehicles with the server but it is possible that for static loot vehicles this is not being done. I'll take another look.

Hello. can i just ask if this mission system works out of the box for Epoch.Tanoa or do i have to alter something as i cant seem to get missions to spawn at all, ive followed the install steps ok, would appreciate some advice, cheers :)

 

p.s. apologies if im been a massive thickoid

...if it helps, this is what i have done from following installation instructions...put the folder "debug" inside my epoch.Tanoa mission pbo, added execVM "debug\blckClient.sqf"; to the init inside my mission pbo, added the folderand contents of @GMS to the root of my server....added @GMS to my "additional server mods" after @EpochHive; like this @EpochHive;@GMS;

not sure what im doing wrong but im predicting its something stupidly obvious lol

Have you looked in your server.RPT to be sure the mission system is being loaded? I will double-check but as far as i know it works on Epoch out of the box though there are always little issues I miss to be addressed.

Hi,

 as already I said, even without infistar the vehicles just despawn directly after someone tries to get into them or they despawn when you sit in for 1 seconds.

You are correct, I verified this bug. I am looking at a fix now.

EDIT: I identified the bug, and am thinking about how best to solve it. The fix will be in Experimental Branch 202 over the weekend.

Hi Ghostrider

Thanks for getting back to me, i couldnt see any sign of the missions loading in the server rpt, searched for blck but nothing there, just @GMS mentioned but no evidence of loading, maybe its a Tanoa thing? dunno, cheers for looking though

I'll check. would you mind sending me a copy of your server.rpt ?

[CorporalClegg]

Hi Ghostrider

Sorry to waste your time, how embarrassing, oh well its going to be public knowledge now, amateur mistake im afraid, hadnt packed the custom_server.pbo in @GMS lol   <looks down at the ground>

Im off to delete my epoch account lol

thanks anyway mate :)

Im running into abit of a problem with the missions, all seems to work fine but the missions spawn instantly when a player joins (All of the missions) and when a mission is completed it'll respawn right after again.

Also im running into an issue with missionLootVehicles

_missionLootVehicles = [
	["O_MRAP_02_EPOCH",[-3,3,0],_crateLoot,[5,10,5,10,10,3]]
	];

The loot vehicle doesnt spawn, i used to do this with the original blckeagls and worked fine back then.

 

I just tried with a completely fresh install of this plugin without modifying anything but add a loot vehicle to one of the missions its the same 2 issues

[Ghostrider-GRG]

what version are you running ?

The issue with all missions spawning one after another has been fixed in Ver 7.00 / Build 218.

I will double-check that loot vehicles are spawning.

By plugin do you mean the mission system?

[SpreadKiller]

Should be running the latest version just downloaded it yesterday from Github - Version 7 Build 218 is what i get in my logs.

I run more servers on other games (Plugins - Mods - Scripts) Isnt it all the same :D, Sorry ^^ meant script = Mission system :P

[SpreadKiller]

Any news on this? Cant really go onward with the missions untill its working :S

[Ghostrider-GRG]

Try build 230 on the experimental branch. Everything works smoothly on our Altis and Namalsk servers.

Can confirm that Missions spawn properly now thanks! 

I have not yet tried the missionLootVehicles Will be back with more info on that once i've tested it!

 

Appreciate the work! :)

[SpreadKiller]

Soo still cant seem to get the missionLootVehicles working, is there something im missing here lol

 

I would guess its either the Mission system iteself or my specific mission made off of the Template

Everything but the missionLootVehicles work fine, buildings spawn, the missionLootBoxes spawn fine, and the AI aswell

[Ghostrider-GRG]

Which build are you using please? I think that is one of the things I fixed recently.

[SpreadKiller]

Version 7.02 Build 230

[Ghostrider-GRG]

Have you tried exporting the mission using the editor plugin?

 

EDIT: It seems this is an issue with V 7.04. I will address in a future build in the near futurel

 

[Ghostrider-GRG]

The issue has been fixed in Version 7.04 Build 235 which I just pushed to the master branch on the githb.

Hello @Ghostrider-GRG,

I have some issues setting this mod up correctly on my Lythium map:

Somehow, all missions spawn near each other, even though I set the distance settings in blck_configs.sqf like this:

	//Minimum distance between missions
	blck_MinDistanceFromMission = 5000;
	blck_minDistanceToBases = 500;
	blck_minDistanceToPlayer = 1000;
	blck_minDistanceFromTowns = 2500;
	blck_minDistanceFromDMS = 5000;  // minimum distance for a blackeagls mission from any nearby DMS missions. set to -1 to disable this check.	

I also added debug code to test these variables after blck_init_server.sqf was done, which gave me the exact same result...
Am I forgetting something or is this a bug (for Lythium)?
 

[Ghostrider-GRG]

Try reducing some of those distances or the number of missions. The arma script blckeals uses flips out if you use such large values for spacing.
