• basic medical
• fixed loadout
• quick start
• dynamic spawn position

Features

• ACE-Spectator
• Mission is localized in English and German

Parameters

• Time

Supported Maps

Altis,Beketov,Bornholm,Bootcamp_ACR,Chernarus,Chernarus_Summer,dingor,FDF_Isle1_a,fallujah,Esseker,Gorgona,IsolaDiCapraia,Kunduz,lingor3,lythium,Malden,mbg_celle2,namalsk,prei_khmaoch_luong,ProvingGrounds_PMC,Panthera3,Sara_dbe1,Shapur_BAF,SugarLake,Stratis,Thirsk,Woodland_ACR,Zargabad,clafghan,fata,saru,takistan,Tanoa,taviana,vt5,xcam_prototype,pja305 To play on one of those islands, change the file name's terrain part ("Stratis") into one of the above these

Hints

• Admin slot is Zeus to fight bugs
• Russian Commander Slot is mandatory
• It's highly recommended to use the predefined amount of money
• Russians might redeploy, the sum of deployed time counts for winning
• Best played in a roughly 2:1 attacker defender ratio

Sandstürme für Wüsten Karten

Die Idee ist mit diesem Script http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=30147 dynamisch einen Sandsturm zu erzeugen so das Blufor es nicht mehr so einfach hat den Radio Truck aus der Distanz ab zu schießen und Redfor mit seinen Panzern auf extrem große Distanz Probleme machen kann wo Blufor einfach die Mittel fehlen dagegen etwas zu machen.

So ein Sturm würde möglicherweise so aussehen:
In einem Zeitraum von 5min von leicht zu mittel zu schwer übergeht und dann für 20min die Sicht stark einschränkt.

Problem:
Das Skript ist nicht gesynced und kann dazu führen das ein Spieler mitten im Sturm ist und der andere Freifläche hat.

Lösung:
Man könnte eine Synchronisier Option einbauen die dafür sorgt das alle Spieler aus dem gleichen vordefinierten Set aus Möglichkeiten dasselbe ausführen und somit es bei allen zu ca. zu 99% gleich ist.

Leere Fahrzeuge in Städten

Test Spawn System

add blood und andere kleine dinge

• blut für medic

• nach wie vor nur 1 Mag für Rifleman
• zu wenig Mags für MG
• fehlende SMAW Mags im Ammotruck

"Truck zerstören" ACE-Interaktion für Blufor

ACE Interaktion für Blufor am Funktruck, die den Truck zerstört. ACE Progressbar, Dauer vielleicht 1 min?

Hintergrund: Blufor konnte heute unentdeckt zum Funktruck kommen, hatte aber keine Möglichkeit ihn zu zerstören. So wird Opfor bestraft, wenn sie zu lange die unmittelbare Deckung des Trucks vernachlässigen.

Spawn Blufor without them knowing where Opfor is

Consider Sandbag-Dilemma

How to make sandbags transportable but also resistable without making them too arcade? Plank is currently not considered, as its ultra fast and allows placing nearly everywhere.

add Briefing

• short description
• story needs to be added

Check Repair Stuff

• check repair functionality

Issues from 3CB Game

• Random Vanilla Gear (cant reproduce, server load?)
• Crewmen Blufor have wrong radio? (cant reproduce, server load?)
• Teleporting to OPFOR_TELEPORT_TARGET / BLUFOR_TELEPORT_TARGET for JIP doesnt work (to test)
• XiviD reports spawning problems with button
• delay loadout randomly for better server load balancing (to test)
• Woodland Camo Altis (tested)
• Replay Marker vs. CSSA3 Marker (end CSSA3 somehow) (borked)
• Mission End erzwingen per Befehl
• Nerf Russian Tanks (tested)
• show connection losses from radio truck too
• Blufor Tracker

add Boxes with custom stuff (shemaghs, glasses, (beards?))

Wrong Classname for Armed HMWWV

• arm HMWWV

Test Results

• ACE spec for JIP not working fully (needs to press respawn)
• Earplugs for Russians
• Spawned Vehicle Headlights covered (rus)
• Endless search for spawn in too big areas
• add russian "sending" pic
• check why sending % doesnt update @blufor @Fusselwurm
• check winning conditions display

investigate "cant spawn" bug

• spawn button "doesnt work" / "does nothing"
• players cant communicate well during setup

maybe use https://github.com/acemod/ACE3/blob/master/addons/common/functions/fnc_errorMessage.sqf ?

Loadout Changes

• Add some more magazines for Rifleman
• Put Magazines in Vest until its full

Block Inventory before Spawn

• inventory breaks spawn dialog system, so prevent access with Eventhandler

InventoryEH = player addEventHandler ["InventoryOpened", {
    true //<-- inventory override
}];

...

player removeAllEventHandlers "InventoryOpened";

Find a better handling for JIP clients

• Maybe Parameter to allow JIP for X Minutes after Spawns
• 10 Minutes JIP allowed
• move JIPs to start position

huntIR / drone?

drone could be tethered to drone pilot (line of sight && 1000m or sth)

Enable detaching of sending unit (smaller but takes 2x of sending time)

• use Endgame Upload Terminal
• detach with ACE interact (condition player east and near radio truck and radio truck has attached (1))
• make loadable, cargo size, cargo can load, make draggable
• reattaching should be possible too (condition player east and near radio truck and radio truck has not attached (2))
• sending should be possible also while attached, speeding up total uplink to 110% if used together with deployed radio truck
• without deployed radio truck uplink is cut to 40%
• setvariable ["radioUnitActive",true/false] on terminal
• mousewheel action on terminal for activating/deactivating sending
• handle destruction of parent vehicle
• add ace destruction option and/or see if its capable of taking damage from ammo
• sending should be possible while in cargo (solely depending on radiounitactive)

Implement Spawn Area Check for Vehicle Buy

Cancel Spawning when Spawn Area is not clear (avoid spawning Vehicles on top of each other)

• empty vehicles should be visible in replay too

BLUFOR: Implement Paradrop Crate instead of Fortification Crate

• Implement Paradrop Crate instead of Fortification Crate

radio jamming

radio jammer device for blufor:

• cancels russian sending for all in all max 10min
• distorts TFAR radio signal heavily for all units

may use the following variables:

player setVariable ["tf_sendingDistanceMultiplicator", 0.1]
player setVariable ["tf_receivingDistanceMultiplicator", 0.1]
TF_terrain_interception_coefficient = 200 // heavy distortion behind next hill

correct picture in dialog M113-M2->M113 Ammo

• correct

Consider removing medic vehicles

at least for basic medical system it makes no sense to field this vehicle. consider switching it for something else. BLUFOR probably a "real" ammo m113, OPFOR ?

• consider
