The lite version does not have modding or multiplayer, but has a limited scenario editor. No idea how limited the editor is or if it's possible to play single player scenarios by other people, but it'd be kind of dumb for them to restrict the game to the showcases and whatever the lite owner can cobble up.

Yeah the AI are pretty ridiculous at times. I've been manually setting the AI skill and accuracy to more manageable levels on the couple of missions I'm working on, but it seems most missions on Armaholic aren't doing anything like that. Most of the low-player coops are hilariously badly made in other ways, as well. I mean go download and try this, if he hasn't fixed it already. The way the tasks are set up is hilarious.

Hey, I've got a couple of small 4-man missions almost ready, they just require a bit of polish but are otherwise playable. Not Your Job A quick fireteam assault into some buildings, some defending, an ambush, and a fast extraction. Should be pretty fast-paced and action-packed. Get the Stable-release version here, and the dev-build version here. The stable one is better tested and it seems the latest dev build dicked around with the terrain around the mission a bit, so I have no idea how that affects the gameplay. Hillbilly Heroes This is a longer mission, with a large variety of different ways to finish it. It involves making your way into Agia Marina, while BLUFOR forces are advancing towards the city, which is being defended by OPFOR. Both sides are hostile to the players, who need to get in the city through both the attacking and the defending forces to kill their targets, and then get away again. Get the stable-release version here. The dev-build version has a weird but consistent crash at some point, which I haven't been able to fix.

The spectator camera thing has night and heat vision and poo poo, so at least you can see stuff after you die during night ops. Of course, the best alternative would've been to give the seagull NVGs, which should have been obvious to BI.

Hey, if anyone is interested in testing a couple of missions, I'm going to be hanging out on the Camping the Stairs mumble for some hours. I've got three missions that should be near enough finished, but just need to get run through some testing to see if everything works in multiplayer and whether the difficulty is fine and so on. I'm on the stable branch at the moment, but last I checked the switch over to the dev branch didn't break anything so I can do that pretty quickly if necessary. I'd rather stay on stable, though, since I get an annoying inventory bug on dev version. EDIT: We're done. Turns out the AI is not affected by fog at all, so that scraps one mission entirely until they put that in. The others just need a working revive script. Anyone know of a good one?

Jesus loving christ, does anyone know of a revive script that doesn't come bundled with amazing amounts of horrible bullshit? I just want something where a dude gets shot and then you can go revive him if you're not too late, and if he dies he is dead and not spawned into the ocean somewhere with no gear or stuck in a lovely custom spectate camera you can't turn.

Yeah. All of my missions currently reduce the AI aiming accuracy to 0.25 and their aiming and spotting speeds to 0.5. It's somewhat better, but I'm debating whether to drop the spotting and aiming speeds even further down. I really shouldn't have to drop AI skills to lower than 50% just to make them really good instead of godlike.

If you don't have one, make a feedback tracker account, and search for the issue. I found this, which sounds like what you're describing except with AA missiles instead of grenades: the rotors get instantly destroyed, causing the helicopter to just plummet straight to the ground. If you think it fits, upvote it. If you think your issue is different and you don't find a similar one when searching, report it as a new issue. As for the last point, I assume they have a lot of people working on a lot of different things and most of the ridiculous-sounding fixes are quick things that happen while working on more important things, or just easy fixes people work on to clear their head when they're stuck with a larger problem.

Conot posted:I'm sure we'll have about that number at some point, no harm in trying them out. Hillbilly Heroes is about four idiot greek rednecks going on a vigilante quest to bring down a group of perceived traitors, and butting in to the middle of a large NATO assault on the way. It's a long mission of stealth with tons of options for your approach and strategy, but with the AI as it is and no revive scripts for now the length might not be a good thing. Also I'm afraid some of the AI changes might have made it completely unplayable. Not Your Job is intended to be a quick combo of a fast assault, intense defense, and a pretty badass retreat for four players. The mission is pretty much ready, and unless the AI changes have significantly changed things should work pretty much as intended. I also quickly whipped up an 8-player variant, but I have no idea about the difficulty since I just randomly placed some more enemies to scale the difficulty a bit. If you do play any of these, I'd really like to hear any comments or suggestions you come up with, especially if you encounter a bug or a script error or something.

Does anyone know what the gently caress is up with my init scripts seemingly not running on all connected machines? A couple of missions I'm making modify the players' starting gear through scripts run from the units' init-line, and I get a weird error where different players see different equipment on some units. In other news, I've just finished scripting Data Breach, an asymmetrical TvT mission where one team needs to set up a device in a certain area and defend it while the other tries to disable it, and would appreciate any feedback on how it plays if anyone gets a bunch of interested people together. It takes a maximum of 16 people, but should be playable with fewer though I have no idea how well it balances for any player count. Less than six people is very unlikely to work at all. Download link here. I also finally finished Not Your Job, one of the 4-player coops I've been working on. Some of you might have played it with me before. Should provide some quick and varied small-scale infantry action. Steam Workshop Armaholic Not Your Job also has an 8-player version I haven't balance tested yet, so if you've got the opportunity I'd really like some feedback on the difficulty or any bugs you might find. You can download the mission here. VVV Yeah I have no idea why I didn't check that link. It's fixed now. The init problem isn't connected to any modules since no modules are used, I think it's got something to do with the way Arma initializes things not working in missions with tons of stuff in them or something. Oh and a friend of mine just published a 4-player coop mission on Steam Workshop. It's fun. Frosty Mossman fucked around with this message at 20:14 on Sep 19, 2013 |

Vatek posted:BTC revive is a custom script that adds first aid features that are currently missing from A3. When you die, you're considered to be critically wounded and a teammate can drag/carry your dead rear end to cover and revive you. Obviously if you're in a tank and it gets blown up this option isn't available. It's a fantastic script that should be included in pretty much every mission ever since BIS are basically retarded and don't have a baseline first aid module like A2 does. EDIT: I went to look at its thread on the BI forums in hopes he might have fixed the issues and I could use it, but he's just added in more features and welp: GMJaken posted:My group has noticed that we lose our binoculars/rangefinders whenever we are revived. It's actually been going on for a while now as far as updates to the script. Any chance of fixing this in the next release? GMJaken posted:New bug: Sometimes, when I go down, my Vest and Backpack items are replaced with Watches. Not just 1 for 1. It fills them with Watches. It also fills my empty space in my uniform with watches. If I switch vests, it fills the extra space with watches, infinitely. its happened twice, both times not using the new system. And disabling respawn still doesn't work. Also the dude is moving to another project and his time for this will be "very limited."

Vatek posted:Welp. It'd be nice to see a return of the official first aid module but I'm not holding my breath. I then tested it with a friend, and after getting revived I found that everything I owned was replaced by infinite watches. Testing further, it seems the option to respawn with the gear you had when you died seems to also double as a switch for spawning endless amounts of timepieces, but if you turn it off it randomly deletes or adds magazines and grenades and other stuff you might have used. Also, whatever your settings, when you actually die your dude just rolls on his face and dematerializes, leaving you in a weird limbo in a lovely custom spectate camera (or if it's turned off, looking at a black screen for the rest of the mission). I'll dick around with it a bit more tomorrow and might find a configuration that keeps your equipment as it was, and doesn't randomly add or remove things or make you a walking fountain of watches, but I am not particularly hopeful. If I do find it, I'll try to modify what happens when you die to maybe make it not as massively retarded.
