ARMA Series (I, II, III) - v. Waiting For 3DEN Edition

[Cuel]

[QUOTE=neuromancer;49886006]anyone know of any issues with ACE captive stuff on the server? I have a TvT mission where you have to rescue AI HVTs that start off with Ace Set Surrendered and Ace Set Handcuffed. I can interact and escort them fine in the editor and in my own hosted MP server, but when I try it on FPs server, they don't start off ziptied, and I can't ziptie them myself which means I can't escort them which means the missions borked.[/QUOTE]

you have to wait for time > 0 before setting them as captive

Got that covered.

I really only played Sa-Matra's King of the Hill and Wasteland. Other than that I'm a complete noob on Arma[/QUOTE]

Unlearn everything you have learned before.

If you're going to use sleep, make sure you're executing it on a separate thread on the server or you'll cause everything to freeze for that particular second. If that's at the start of the mission, that may not be an issue, but I think if that's just in an init box it'll execute for every client connecting. Could be wrong though.

You're wrong. Global init is unscheduled so it won't run.

If you guys want me to put up an announcement for an event I can do that

[Cloak_Raider]

are we doing some arma shit tonight or nay

i'm prepped, fuckin ready

[neuromancer]

ran into same problem. running this from a game logic.

sleep 5;
HVT1 setcaptive true;
sleep 1;
[HVT1, true] call ACE_captives_fnc_setHandcuffed;
sleep 1;
HVT2 setcaptive true;
sleep 1;
[HVT2, true] call ACE_captives_fnc_setHandcuffed;
sleep 1;
HVT3 setcaptive true;
sleep 1;
[HVT3, true] call ACE_captives_fnc_setHandcuffed;

Works fine in SP and my own hosted server but when I go into FPs they don't start ziptied and I can't use zipties on them. Did I do something wrong? I saw a 3 day old bug report on ACEs bug tracker saying zipties weren't working on dedicated though so I dunno maybe its just ACE that needs fixing.

[Cuel]

yeah it's a bug in ace, fixed in 3.5.1

[editline]7th March 2016[/editline]

you could add this to init.sqf probably

if (!hasInterface) then {
  ["SettingsInitialized", {
      [{
          ace_captives_captivityEnabled = true;
      }, [], 0.05] call ACE_common_fnc_waitAndExecute;
  }] call ACE_common_fnc_addEventHandler;
};

[/QUOTE]

all I would do is put that in init.sqf and keep everything else I did the same? or should I insert the hvt names in there somewhere?

[QUOTE=Dwarden;49886855]+ additional crash fixes , yet the hunt continue (-crashDiag still has use)[/QUOTE]

The hunt for what is crashing Altis Life servers, mentioned a few times on sitreps? Why is this a burden on Bohemia? It's only them, it's only their code. Let them fix it.

that code delays the animations so you can probably use the old code if it worked

Neuromancer made a midweek mission for us:

[t]http://i.imgur.com/Dfuc3YQ.jpg[/t]

9:00pm GMT is kinda late for most people, so if people want to I can try and put it down earlier.

[neuromancer]

if its too late you can take it down to 8 or 7 GMT

Now you can properly know when you will have full moon instead of guessing or getting a waning crescent.

I open up Arsenal on a unit in the Eden editor. I remove some grenades from his backpack. I close Arsenal. Open Arsenal back up, unit's entire backpack is now filled to the brim with various grenades.

Why BIS why.

Any fix for this? Happens with vanilla units too.

That's actually really useful.
I used to manually gather Dates and Times with Bright nights and Evening/Morning settings by manually executing setTime/setDate until I got a night that was bright enough.

Having an easy and dynamic way to make this easier is pretty neat.

Now I just gotta get it to reliably rain / change overcast. (Maybe ACE is screwing with weather despite those ace_weather settings being disabled)
