The fog seems a bit over the top on the white side, maybe a touch more grey and a few tweaks?

Ran out of demo charges and nothing happened, preventing me from finishing the mission. Need to add a demo check.

Group: DEMO CHECK

Comment:

ENOUGH?

Allow this block to be reactivated.

Continue executing responses if ((The number of demo charges available to Player Platoon) is less than (The value of Demo)).

Display "Not enough charges to complete the mission!" ((End it here, give them a drop off point for an ammo box, or instruct them in the briefing how many they will need, your choice...))

The message below is too long for a simple screen message, this bit at the end: moved them. It only displays the mo

Use a message box for longer stuff and increase the timer on screen. Or break it up into 2 messages...

Play "I_UI6" at volume 1.

Keep in mind cinematics will crash a dedicated server, you can add extra copies of the missions in a zip file that simply has in the script, continueif SP. To prevent them playing.

If I was to nitpick, I would of put all the HVT dudes into 1 platoon for easy fault finding, easy reading for others. But that`s just my way I guess. And even in just testing stages, try to keep a text file in there with the credits, easy to forget something, and maybe someone will help by mentioning it is missing.

The use of idling actors animations where a nice touch. Overall thought it was a fantastic job so far! Look forward to playing it in coop.

:thumbsup:

Oh and you might want to look at the rocket check also. As right now if you run out, same deal as the demo...

Ah, did find 1 little issue...This guys weapon texture is all messed up:

Yep, much same as Tinker. Rifleman kit 48s kit texture is missing too. Retexturing is really great job, and I like the enemies weapons, it's not any longer kalashnikovs. :)

About the cinematics, if you wan't to hear my suggestions, I think you should use cinemas in some missions (like where the briefing tells more precise about enemy troops).

Cheers dude glad you had a decent time playing ;)

Yeah god the rockets and demo thing, knew there was something I forgot to do :P

And yeah should of thought about co-op but I never play co-op so totally forgot about that.

Btw did you actually run out of rockets or did your guys get killed?

Ill get right on fixing that stuff ;) you think you could pm me instead next time though? :P

Cheers teppe yeah I just noticed that 2 think that's something to do with weapon mod I've just started using that will be fixed b4 final version of mod is out ;)

Yeah god I have no idea what would need changing for co-op other then perhaps more hostiles and of course the cutscene thing.

So yeah any help or advice you can give would be appreciated ;)

As for that guys gun don't know what the hells going on there think it must be something to do with the weapon mod I just put in there will give him some other gun to fix that.

And yeah that's a good point about posting it here don't worry about pming me ;)

Thanks again for your feedback much appreciated.

Good news a new tweaked version of the mission is available if anyone wants to bug test it Id be happy to upload it although I'm fairly confident the existing version works fine.

And some new screens from the latest mission I'm working on.

It is a beautiful map with lots of space and various themes, I had wanted to script a mission for it for a long time sadly however it has given me a little grief.

I repeatedly got very slow frame rates and at other times it refused to start the mission at all. I'm assuming this is because of the massive size and detail.

In order to stop the damn thing crashing Ive been forced to reduce the number of actors/vehicles on the map and remove all hidden actors I had previously placed.

So while I'm happy enough with it now (just tweaking) its not quite the blood drenched battle for survival I had first imagined it to be :/

I feel like it's time ..

This looks freakin' good! I love how you put in the skins in multicam and I love the Cartel, it's my fav map.

And yeah, the cartel map is beatiful! I remember playing with a guy on HU mod, and he showed me the map, wait, I donno if it actually was Cartel, I think so, a tower on some cliffs near the beach.

Anyways, oh yeah, I remember that Fletcher. :)

Keep it up MM!

Thanks teppe :)

Once again I seem to be having problems with the mission on elite mode again :/

Not sure what is going on as I have not touched the mission in a day or so since I last had it working :/

Edit: After taking the actor count down again it seems to be working though not confident it won't just randomly decide it doesn't want to work again.

will spend a few days seeing what I can get away with and sorting out a few last things before moving on.

Edit: And just realized the gun texture in that pic is messed up XD

Ok so Ive been back to work on this for a while now I can't figure out how to edit the first post so will just have the updated description/pics here.

"You ever wonder what the ideology of a Vibrio cholerae bacterium is, or the belief system of Yersinia pestis, the bacteria that causes bubonic plague?
Well I'll tell ya, perpetuation! An infinite succession of generations, immortality on the installment plan.
I wish I had that sort of esprit de corps, that bacterial team spirit... talk about legacy, talk about empire.."

It's 20XX, and the world is on the brink of total collapse. Unemployment, crime, financial collapse, disease, corruption, war and revolution are the all too familiar signs of the times.

From the chaos and instability of the age two dominant superpowers begin to emerge. Centralized to the west the Globalist New World Union emerges, backed by leading financial oligarchies and comprising of many countries including the United states, Britain, France, Germany, Israel and many more. And to the east the socialistic and nationalistic Strategic Co-operation Organization, formed by an uneasy alliance between Russia and China and including nations like Iran, Syria, Venezuela, Cuba etc.

The New World Union global government gains much power over its member nations and uses its massive influence over the military to form its own highly advanced and powerful international military police force known as the United Defense Directive. Equipped with the most advanced technology and trained and drilled by the very best the west have to offer, the UDD are the most dangerous fighting force known to man. Comprised of volunteers from armed forces all over the world recruits are indoctrinated to discard any national affiliations and are utterly loyal to the NWU.

And within this world army is a top secret black operations group designated 'SHADOW RECON'. The mysterious group acts as the hidden hand of the world army equipped and trained to deal with domestic insurgencies and police actions as well as frontline combat and infiltration missions.

You take command of SCARECROW team during the lead up to and the first turbulent months of ww3.
