DRAGONs MISSIONPACK

Hey, Dragon -

Does your mission pack support 1.1.0.9 yet?

Thanks!

Yes, what's the problem with it?

It will be displayed for 60 sec and only the server host will see it.

 

If this is a problem for you please open the mission in the editor and do following:

 

1st: Open the Briefing and add: "Edited by sam777777" below the mission name.

 

2nd: Open the Trigger list and delete the first MISSIONSTART trigger. I think I named it "EDIT". Take a look at the action (right column) before you delete it.

There have to be the action "MESSAGE TO ALL".

If you don't want to delete it you also can change the displaying time.

At the moment it's 60 sec.

Cheers, it didnt go away (did a full start up waiting for it to vamoosh).

Deleting it did the trick, thanks for the help!

And I am off to fly em! :D

Strange.... in what mission?

Should work.

Maybe you have to open the missions in the editor and just save it.

By the way: At home (on my PC) I have updated the missionpack with JTACs in all mission.

Sadly the JTAC is not able to report triggered units in v1.1.0.9 so I have to wait for the next patch to release the new version of the missionpack.

Installed, just need to find some time to actually run the sim...

Thanks for all of your hard work - it's folks like you who somehow manage to elevate an already outstanding product!

Hi Dragon, very nice missions, thank you for your work!

I have a question about Harcore Terrorists, though: Some time into the mission you get a message "All 6 trucks destroyed", but soon there seems to be new trucks appearing. Is that intended?

Also in my opinion the mission is too loaded with enemy units/air defenses, but that's only my taste for MP-missions. But I can imagine that you designed your missions with some long-term playability in mind (not like some of the official campaign missions that you can complete with one single GBU-31) for multiple aircraft.

The "new" trucks are civil traffic and have nothing to do with the mission objectives. ;)

The mission obejctive is to destroy the 6 trucks. If you destroy them by GUN, they will explode with a BIG BOOOOM! :D

Yes, of course it is a "to difficult" mission. You have to know the history of the mission:

All this missions (except "TheBay") was created for DCS BlackShark.

The most player on the STP servers are very good pilots so I created difficult missions.

But then some guys sad: "no, this is not realistic. We want realistic missions!"

So I created the mission "Rookie Terrorists".

Then some guys sad: "no, this mission is to easy, it's boring!"

So I removed the units in "Rookie Terrorists", added heavy SAM sites and created the extremely difficult mission "Hardcore Terrorists".

... just to make everyone happy. :prop:

I will rework the missions and add Ka-50 clients.

Stay tuned.

Played the Dam, the Bay and ... Some other mission.

Very nice work so far! :) I love your missions. The Bay is just a hardcore mo****a! But it's so cool - if you see the planes, you can pop up, kill the planes and GTFO again, but it's really intense because everything there is pinging you all the time haha.

And the dam - after clearing the SAM site and some AA along the river (which took about 1hr) me and my buddy just lost the interest in hunting down small tiny infantry dudes and tiny AA vehicles. :-/ So maybe tweak that a little bit?

Awesome pack...

Thanks in advance!

... further missions and changes will follow... :smartass:

Will these missions still be playable with A10 only? I see in the attack on Krymsk you need to wait for the KA50 to kill something?

Hm... let me explain:

Actually I'm reworking all my mission from BS1only to BS2only or BS2&WH.

My target is to combine BS2 and WH as much as I can.

I want to build coop missions and reduce the number of BS2only missions.

For the missions you know from the WH-Missionpack, it will be possible to complete the mission without Ka-50!

"Attack on Krymsk" was a BS1only mission. (It was my very first mission I build)

As I sad: I want to reduce the number of BS2only missions so I added 2x A-10c Clients.

Till now it is the only mission you will need the Ka-50 to get into the target area with the A-10c.

Let's see what I can do with the other BS1only missions.

It is difficult to rework a BS1only mission (adding some A-10c to get a BS2&WH mission) and be able to complete the mission without Ka-50...

We will see.

By the way: If you are able to kill a HAWK in flat country with the A-10c you can complete "Attack on Krymsk" without Ka-50. :)

By the way:

If ED can't fix this bug in the Patch v1.1.1.0, ALL my WH-Missions are waste.

So please help me to bring ED to fix this!

Thanks a lot for clearing up! Now I get it... :)

I am trying myself to get into that editor, kinda clunky and overcomplicated... Any tutorials ouot there?

I don't know any tutorials.

I did learning by doing.

But I wrote some tipps&tricks in german: http://spare-time-pilots.de/viewforum.php?f=8

By the way:

I'm sure something about this in the changelog.

Please quote it, I can't find something about that.

I'll have a look but I may have been wrong.

EDIT: Damn can't find it. Must have been wrong, sorry.

Added A-10C to Novorosysk

It's the next BS1only mission reworked to BS2&WH.

Love you man.

I updated the Change log:

Yesterday I added the JTACs to Black Gold of Anapa.

Sadly I noticed a graphic bug with the road I build the FARP on.

http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=81287

I had to move the whole FARP because of this bug.

Then I added units to appear some airfields alive.

- Rookie Terrorists

- Hardcore Terrorists (moved A-10c to Sukhumi)

- The Bay

- Black Gold of Anapa

Then we tested some things in MP:

Is it possible to de/activate a Client?

- No! If a Client get a holdingtime it is not possible to enter the cockpit.

But If you want to activate him you still can't enter the cockpit.

What's the workarround of the JTAC-MP-Bug?

http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?p=1324507#post1324507

- Use AFAC Aircraft JTACs with visual to enemys

- Use FAC-Engage Group instead of FAC-Assigne Group

So it is not necessary to rework the triggers of my missions. (hopefully)

Yesterday I spend my time for bits and pieces.

After installing the new WH patch on gaming PC and server, I checked the latest behaviour of the JTACs. (Still the same but OK with the workarround).

Then I checked the mission options, checked the payloads and skins, edited some briefings and started to create new briefing-pictures.

I decided to release the BS2&WH missions first. Next week (maybe this weekend) I will release the missionpack.

The BS2only missions will follow in the next version some day's after.

Dragon! :) You've made yourself a mark with your work already. :thumbup: We need badly BS2&A10 missions asap, pleeease :helpsmilie:.

Thank you for the praises.

I hate to write this but I have to say: It's done when it's done.

I'm spending every minute of my free time for the missions.

My girlfriend is angry.

I hope to release it on the weekend or early next week.

But I don't want to release a unfinished work.
