Take On Helicopters Beta Patch 91543

[DnA]

Beta patch rev. 91543 released (http://takeonthegame.com/download/beta-patches/) (1.05 required!)

Changelog:
Take On Helicopters: Rearmed (http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Take_On_Helicopters_-_Rearmed) (merging content from A2 & OA)
Medium: pedal controller ranges tweaked
Controller axes sensitives were sometimes set to full
Head-tracking logic improved: the head position was offset in reverted direction when certain roll limits were reached (looking over shoulder)
Head-tracking head offset sensitivity curve improved
Support for multiple proxy-based weapons on vehicles improved (config entry maverickweaponIndexOffset added)
PBOs are now searched and loaded also from a Common subfolder of mod folders
Zero default value for min/maxMoveX/Y/Z in ViewXXX classes
[91173] New: Registry-driven mod can contain list of required mods in its REQUIRE string value (the same syntax as for LOADAFTER). Moreover, the registry value CANDISABLE="0" can be used to make the Disable button disabled.
[91055] Fixed: Respawn with backpack
[90934] New: Folder with mod.cpp containing statement hide=true; is not not listed in Expansions
[90909] Fixed: crash of Linux server when player with custom face connects
[90901] New: setUnitRecoilCoefficient command

This is the first beta patch containing Take On Helicopters: Rearmed (http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?132627-Take-On-Arma). Unfortunately one of its main features, automatic and smooth merging, does not apply yet. It does allow testing of the 'merging' add-ons, which will solve the compatibility issues as much as possible. Check the community Wiki (http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Take_On_Helicopters_-_Rearmed) for a quick guide on how to run Rearmed. Many thanks go to PvPscene and OMAC for their work on this! :ok:

Also included are improvements to head-tracking (http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?133030-TrackIR-issues) and tweaks of the Medium flight model.

Installing now....

BIS rules.

----------------

My command line (the shortcut "Starts in" ToH folder, which for me is "C:\Program Files\Bohemia Interactive\Take On Helicopters"):


"C:\Program Files\Bohemia Interactive\Take On Helicopters\beta\takeonh.exe" -nosplash -skipintro -mod=C:\a2_link;C:\a2oa_link;Hinds;beta

Where

C:\a2_link = C:\Program Files\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA 2
C:\a2oa_link = C:\Program Files\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA 2\Expansion

The above are directory sym links placed at system root C: which eliminate the issues of a shortcut command line being too long and the need for quotes around mod line to take care of spaces.

Note that "-skipintro" use is recommended because of an issue (just identified) with the Takistan intro cutscene that will prevent Free Flight from being started after flying or editing in Takistan.

[Jedra]

Excellent stuff! Trying now!

[BeePee]

Great! I'll try it right away.

God job BIS! (misspel intentional)

[Scorlhov]

Downloading now..
Thx

[BoboCZ]

Thanks! :thumbsup:
I made quick test. Even helicopters from Arma 2 are included in free flight :). I think that ui.pbo, uifonts.pbo are better to take out from addons folder, otherwise UI is somehow damaged, or maybe I made something wrong.

[Jedra]

Good so far. Track-IR seems to be better now - I'll need to fly more to prove this though. Arma integration working with Vanilla combined ops - it was nice to fly around a bit in Chernarus and Takistan with official blessing!

I can still land a light/medium and heavy without too much trouble and the medium seems a little less volatile on the pedals.

The Hind is still a beast - but I guess you didn't touch that!

If I can get my machine to run it at decent framerates then I might do some time trials on Chernarus next!

[.kju [PvPscene]]

BoboCZ what is your modline?

The A2/OA ui should be hidden if launched correctly.
Make sure to have the beta folder at the very end.

[InstaGoat]

Quick question: the target line isn´t big enough to fit all the entries for me, is there any way to circumvent this? My windows-fu is inadequate for this :<

[PurePassion]

Do what PvPscene says :D

[.kju [PvPscene]]

You can use a batch file to extend the limit.

Or use symlinks/junctions and rename the linked folders.
For more read: https://dev-heaven.net/projects/heaven/wiki/Virtual_folders_and_files

[InstaGoat]

I´ve fixed up a batch file from which to call the beta. However, despite the paths being correct, no arma 2, or TOH bonus content (hinds) shows up when the beta is started. Main menu animations are also missing. This is the command line I use:

"C:\Program Files\Bohemia Interactive\Take On Helicopters\beta\takeonh.exe" -mod=Beta;c:\Program files\Bohemia Interactive\Arma 2;c:\Program files\Bohemia Interactive\Arma 2\Expansion;C:\Program files\Bohemia Interactive\Take On Helicopters;C:\Program files\Bohemia Interactive\Take On Helicopters\beta;C:\Program files\Bohemia Interactive\Take On Helicopters\Hinds -nosplash

[.kju [PvPscene]]

Try this:


"C:\Program Files\Bohemia Interactive\Take On Helicopters\beta\takeonh.exe" "-mod=c:\Program files\Bohemia Interactive\Arma 2;c:\Program files\Bohemia Interactive\Arma 2\Expansion;C:\Program files\Bohemia Interactive\Take On Helicopters;C:\Program files\Bohemia Interactive\Take On Helicopters\Hinds;C:\Program files\Bohemia Interactive\Take On Helicopters\beta" -nosplash

This should also work if the batch file is in your TKOH folder:


beta\takeonh.exe "-mod=c:\Program files\Bohemia Interactive\Arma 2;c:\Program files\Bohemia Interactive\Arma 2\Expansion;C:\Program files\Bohemia Interactive\Take On Helicopters;Hinds;beta" -nosplash

Maybe even this:


beta\takeonh.exe "-mod=c:\Program files\Bohemia Interactive\Arma 2;c:\Program files\Bohemia Interactive\Arma 2\Expansion;Hinds;beta" -nosplash

[InstaGoat]

Thanks PVP, that got it working.

Very nicely so, too. Really great having the arma 2 stuff in there, can´t wait for the full patch.

[BoboCZ]

Thanks, that was exactly my problem.

Works nice, only with Chernorus low fps with this view and settings of TOH.

I dont see only additional maps like : Lingor island. I have for expample folder named @<hidden> in main folder of Arma II. Any ideas why or this beta dosent allow addons for Arma?

[Jedra]

@<hidden>,

You either have to copy the @<hidden> folder to your ToH folder or use a Symlink (which is what I do) - it won't pick up addons in your Arrowhead folder.

[TonyGrunt]

@<hidden>
Any additional maps or addons you have in your arma2 directory you can bind them individually on the -mod parameter.

Some comparisons screens from Lingor at A2OA and TKOH.

Anyone managed to load the BAF and PMC DLC? It pops a addon decrypting error if you bind them.
Or aren't the locked DLCs yet supported?

[_YoYo_]

Just noticed - no speach of pilot if he did checklist (APU on, Engine IDE ect), only something like "beep".

@<hidden>, TonyGrunt, thank You, I will try.
Edit: no, cant see and addons in expansion in TOH menu too. My TOH Folder: http://img835.imageshack.us/img835/9553/catalogl.jpg
If I run the normal version of TOH, or ArmA I have this map of Lingor (in ToH only with many errors missing objects).

"G:\Take On Helicopters\beta\takeonh.exe" "-mod=G:\ArmA II;G:\ArmA II\Expansion;G:\Take On Helicopters;G:\Take On Helicopters\Hinds;G:\Take On Helicopters\beta" -nosplash

[.kju [PvPscene]]

@<hidden> TonyGrunt

No DLC support so far. You can cast your vote for it here (https://dev-heaven.net/issues/30243). :)


@<hidden> _YoYo_

Try:

"G:\Take On Helicopters\beta\takeonh.exe" "-mod=@<hidden>;G:\ArmA II;G:\ArmA II\Expansion;G:\Take On Helicopters;Hinds;beta" -nosplash

Or even:

"G:\Take On Helicopters\beta\takeonh.exe" "-mod=@<hidden>;G:\ArmA II;G:\ArmA II\Expansion;Hinds;beta" -nosplash

You can reference modfolders inside the TKOH folder with a relative path too.
For the beta patch, you shouldn't need to add the path to TKOH folder either.

[TonyGrunt]

@<hidden>
Don't forget that lingor requires additional addons (brg_africa,ibr_plants,mbg_buildings2), if those are not in the lingor directory.

Your line might look like:

"G:\Take On Helicopters\beta\takeonh.exe" "-mod=G:\ArmA II;G:\ArmA II\Expansion;G:\ArmA II\@<hidden>;G:\ArmA II\@<hidden>;G:\ArmA II\@<hidden>;G:\ArmA II\@<hidden>;Hinds;beta" -nosplash

@<hidden> My vote is in. :)

[OMAC]

The tweaks to the medium FM are a step in the wrong direction for me. Too much yaw at low speeds. To hell with yaw. The new one is much more like Hinds, and that says a lot (but somehow, even though the Hinds FM is brutally hard, I like it). 1.05 was damn near perfect for kb/mouse on expert. I'm sure all the expert controller people will love the new FM.

Whatever FM is decided upon, I hope very much that one is indeed arrived upon and fixed in stone so that we don't have to keep relearning over and over again. IMO, as new FMs (including user-made ones like Nightstalker's) can be added using the HSIM folder method, 1.05 should be locked in place, and hard-core, psychotic, "realistic," mega-yaw FMs should be provided as customizations. Ha! Dream on.....

I know I'll eventually get used to the current one, and manual trim set helps a little, but......

-------------------------

Can anyone repro this: make a simple mission and play it in the editor for a while. Then exit the editor and try to enter Free Flight. I get kicked back from Free Flight to the main GUI screen.

My mission includes a saveGame, so I'm reloading saved games a lot in the editor before exiting it - maybe that makes a difference.

[Liquidpinky]

Not tried the beta yet, does the seas around smaller islands look okay now or are they still missing once you get outside the original maps size range?

PMC and BAF support voted for, although I would happily pay for proper functioning ToH versions of all the helis in those DLCs.

[twisted]

man this is so nice to have. thanks BIS. one small thing - i get 2 modules called colours. be handy if one was labeleld coloursTKOH or something. amazed at how different utes and takistan look. r

[OMAC]

Yes, this is still the case. It's been a known issue. Especially noticeable around Utes.

[twisted]

a few notes after playing the beta - its pretty damn good. smoke grenades seem to be affected by TKOH wind. there seems to be 0 aimprecision/gun wobble and even if i try protegimus' gun wobble script nothing changes. infantry animations seem to be faster. colors are much more vibrant. i can hear planes often. cba causes boat module not to be found (i was using cba to see if i could get ACE2 working but nope).

i am really enjoying this. thanks BIS. cant wait till some smart person mods the apache with the heli model (if thats even possible) or uses the pip for weapon sights.

Works fine here with OA/CO CBA... Just the main menu needs some love and some other UI elements.
TOH specific things/vehicles are of course missing with the OA/CO CBA version (XEH, TOH functions, etc).

Xeno

[InstaGoat]

Great job, BI. Tried it for a while stuff works great, however, because the A2 Units aren´t made for TOH scale maps, there´s a few hitches. Some features/weapons also refuse to work, and some weapons do not trigger overhead radar warnings.

When flying attack planes, the Missles burn out quickly. Especially the SU-25 and SU-35 will actually, when attacking at top speed, -overtake- their missles a short while after firing them. The missles also are range limited and disappear after a short distance, limiting the range on the weapons severely. Can this be changed? (Top speed and time-to-disappear) Top speeds for missles like the Hellfire are also rather low.

AI AA Guns (ZSU-23/2, ZSU-24 Shilka and Tunguska) do not fire at Helicopters and Planes unless they´re extremely close. Shilka and Tunguska also do not pick up targets at long ranges, making it easy to pick them off at range using hellfires.

Tunguska AA missles are ignored by the RWR and do not seem to be affected by countermeasures.

Javelin does not work.

I´ve not tested the TOWs and the Metis. Tanks work excellently up to about 1500 meters of range. Engagements happen at pretty realistic ranges, making big tank battles on the plains of the south asia map a blast.

In general, I am pretty pleased with this. I know TOH isn´t a combat sim, but if you could fix up the little things that don´t work with the linked up A2/OA right now, time permitting, it´d be even more awesome.

brilliant news. so not to derail the thread but all that's needed is a TKOH/ACE2 compatibale CBA and then it's all go? excellent.


one thing i noticed in this tkoh beta that has been fixed in arma2 beta is the texture fighting on mid ground objects where one texture then another flashes very quickly.

[OMAC]

Javelin does not work.

Javelin locking has been broken for about 6 OA betas. Related?

https://dev-heaven.net/issues/28865

[Gabe_Ruckus]

This is brilliant, I've been having a blast playing with military units on the South Asia map. Realistic engagement ranges really open up a whole new side of Arma2 that I haven't been able to enjoy before. Being able to line up a strafing run in the A10 6km out, popping up and firing a Hellfire from 3km away, huge armor battles with tanks slogging it out from thousands of meters... It's just awesome. Got ACE mostly working with the TOH CBA, some of the features, like the tank laser ranging, crash the game to desktop, but hopefully these things get ironed out.

[crawl55]

Can someone explain how to create the batch file?

[Wildgoose]

open a notepad file and put your shortcut in that...

"F:\Program Files\Bohemia Interactive\Take On Helicopters\beta\takeonh.exe" "-mod=F:\Program files (x86)\Bohemia Interactive\Arma 2;F:\Program files (x86)\Bohemia Interactive\Arma 2\Expansion;F:\Program files\Bohemia Interactive\Take On Helicopters;F:\Program files\Bohemia Interactive\Take On Helicopters\Hinds;F:\Program files\Bohemia Interactive\Take On Helicopters\beta" -nosplash

Should look something(change to your own directory structure) like above...
Then save the file to your game folder and name it as "takeonBetarearmedStart.bat"
Notice its got a .bat extension and not .txt
Thats all there is to it.
All you do is run the .bat file to start your game.

Hi crawl55,

I had the same issue - try to use standard "takeonh.exe" instead of "beta\takeonh.exe"

No please dont. The "takeonh.exe" does not have critical fixes needed. Only the next full patch will support Rearmed fully. :)

The issues in long range combat and engagements are general Arma issues/misconfigured or badly configured units.

i had similar problem. Solved it by putting the batch file in my TKOH directory. try that and i hope that helps you.

on another note - i find that ambient plane or ambient helicopter module gives an error when used in takistan. the error is worldsize not set for takstan or something similar.

Yes - it happens a lot still. I did not see it in the patch notes, so I assumed you were still working on it - hence I never mentioned it.

Anyway with the patch it still happens in ToH, ToH:Hinds and ToH:ReArmed.

Yes - it happens a lot still. I did not see it in the patch notes, so I assumed you were still working on it - hence I never mentioned it.

Ok, we'll release another beta patch soon to test our more recent version alleviates it. In-house that newer version does not show it on the few PCs that did before, but we cannot know for sure it does for you :(

[Ericinexile]

Pardon me if I am calling the impossible a bug but I have never played ArmA.

I tried making a very simple mission with two bad guys on the little island just offshore from Chenarus. I then wanted to fly a light with some friendlies to the island, disembark, and kill the bad guys. But the US Army riflemen are unarmed. So I made us Marines instead. But everytime I have the pilot get out of the light and I click the little "steering wheel" logo to take the pilot seat, the game crashes.

I get no crashes when I enter the light as pilot using your mission.

Ok thanks. I get it every time. I changed the rifles and light helo to ION and it works fine. But USMC crashes every time. Maybe because I am using ARMA 2 Free?

Will do. But it will be a few days. Currently flying. Another detail is that I played the mission from Preview in the editor.

To follow up on my error. I purchase ArmA2 (not free) and had the same problem. Cannot find any file called TakeonH.rpt.

Assuming you are windows 7 the takeonh.rpt file will be at;

c:\users\[yourwindowsusername\appdata\local\Take On Helicopters\takeonh.rpt

You may have to un-hide system files to see the appdata folder if you haven't already done so. If you are unsure of how to do this then check this (http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/394-hidden-files-folders-show-hide.html) page (first one I found in Google!).

These modlines look fine Ericinexile:

"-mod=c:\Program files (x86)\Bohemia Interactive\Arma 2 Free;C:\Program files\Bohemia Interactive\Take On Helicopters;Hinds;beta"
"-mod=c:\Program files\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA2;C:\Program files\Bohemia Interactive\Take On Helicopters;Hinds;beta"

Can you please create a hashlist of your TKOH folder and upload the file.
Here is a tool to easily create it: http://code.kliu.org/hashcheck/
RMB on the TKOH folder and select "create hash file".

Other than that create a dev heaven account and post your crash data here please:

A patch will not create a beta folder as it patches the original install. Only an actual beta will create the beta folder. When you install a patch there is no going back (other than a complete reinstall) as it replaces the original content. A beta can be run alongside the main install hence it is installed in a separate beta folder.

The usual turn of events is something like this;

beta
beta
beta
Patch Release Candidate
Patch Retail Release
beta
beta... etc etc

You could define a patch as a major milestone which is distributed to the public and is officially supported. Beta's are not distributed, but made available to test should you wish to do so (which I heartily encourage you to do so).
