[Release] HearthQuake Mission MOD

[W4lly]

Mission Mod for Arma2 Epoch - Tested on Epoch 1.0.6 RC1 - Dayz 1.8.8

HearthQuake Simulation Mission ALPHA 0.3.2 (is alpha , working in my server but not tested in 1.0.5.x)

Description/Features

Generates earthquakes around map after a time ... in the radius destroys a lot of Buildings, Spawn a loots crate and if selected (recommended) groups of AI Enemy ...

It increases the difficulty of game... may happen to be in a building in the earthquake area... and die. It is not a classic mission because unknown location of crate in a radius of one km in a devasted area where there are various groups of AI is difficult to complete.

• HeartQuake in Random Zone with a lot of Buildings Destroyed
• Spawn Crate inside HQ Zone in Random Coords
• Spawn Some Groups of AI inside HQ Zone
• Player Effects
•      HearthQuake Marker in map
•            Ability to define HQ zone and dimension
• Ability to define blacklist coords
• Ability to define blacklist buildings
• Ability to define AI spawn or not AI
• Ability to use WAI or DZMS instead of AI included (disabled in ALPHA - can enable WAI - or DZMS working but not remove units when mission end for now)
• and more...

AI included in mission are WAI inspired (all credits to F3cuk - https://github.com/f3cuk/WICKED-AI)

Hi W4lly,

it is awesome to something new in the mod section.

I tested your mod on Epoch 1.0.6. RC2 and I like the idea. The crate spawn, the AI unit spawn and the markers working very well. I noticed that the sound for the earthquake is a way too quiet. The shaking effects is  bit weird and almost imperceptible.

I got a lot errors from your AIs

I like your mod and looking forward to use it on my upcoming server. I will test your new version, if you update it.

Cheers

tnx  bro ... you have setup something about number of groups?

tnx

Updated to  0.3.1 correct version tnx to A MAN for test

Thx for your fast update. It fixed the magazine and weapon errors. I still have these errors in the spoiler. You have not defined ai_cache_units earlier when Im not wrong so thats why we have an error here. You should set the AI to east not to RESISTANCE.  RESISTANCE will not attack you if you dont define that.

You have to set the Resistance as enemy for the west side. Currently the AI does not attack me even if I attack them.

Resistance setFriend [WEST, 0];

WEST setFriend [Resistance, 0];

If did not change anything about number of groups. Your addon still works fine and everything is spawing.

Error correct and changed group side ... uploaded updated...

[Airwaves Man]

Great job, all errors are fixed.

[W4lly]

sorry for inconvenience but i have fixed on fly  without test it .... im not at home but working :-)

[Airwaves Man]

No worries mate. I saw that you took already the new weapon classnames. You missed two of them the M40A3 should be M40A3_DZ and the BAF_L85A2_RIS_Holo should be L85_Holo_DZ.
