[VanhA-ICON]

Greetings community.
ICON squad & I present our first MP mission for ArmA2:

*For 1.05
*With revive AI-disabled
*Leader as mobile spawn


Changes in 1.0b version:
*Updated revive script
*Tweaked one bunker height
*Added randomness to some units
*Units in truck should now react when 1st tank disabled
*Reinforcements for enemy
*Some locals will surrender (possibly)

Changes in 1.1 version:
*Updated revive script to 0.2f


Changes in 1.2 version:
*Updated revive script to 0.2m

- Task 3: Fly the Mi-24 to aircraft carrier

(This is based on one of my old flaspoint missions which I did not publish)

I hope you enjoy it.
Make sure the fuel truck does not get destroyed.
Although at convoy destination there's a repair truck if needed.

A VanhA mission - must be an excellent one.
Hope to get it to play tonight and report back!

Hey VanHA!

I hear some rumors about a very strict way of handling the objectives. They have to be in a certain order.
Is this true? If it is, you might want to consider just showing on task at the time?? So the order always get correct?

Just a rumor though...

:rolleyes:

Well, I kinda like the new system where one can freely choose an objective and get a waypoint for it..
The objective order is a tad confusing for mission maker since they have to be listed as "final objective first".

Game is still young and lot to learn. :D

Last night, I played this with a small group and it was very entertaining. I'll definitely play it again and recommend it to others. :)

Great mission but it seems to crash for me when someone dies, this happens when I've created the server (not dedicated) and as soon as someone dies it just crashes/locks up. Rest of the people playing it works for except the server also dies.

Edit: Did try the mission by myself and now the respawning works but once another player joines and dies it crashes, strange.

[VanhA-ICON]

New version released (1.1)
See top post for details.
I will leave this now and continue with other mission projects. Thank you all for interest and support.

The new revive version should fix that problem m8. (mi hopes)

I had a great time with 2 of my friends on this map. The ambush was fun and I really enjoyed that a small coordinated team was enough to finish the map.

Keep up the good work.

Played it last night as well, with 2 other players. We made it to the hind but it wouldn't refuel/end :P

Better luck next time I guess. Very enjoyable mission though!

Was one of you in the hind? I have played this mission on my server at least 12 times now every time with out an issue it has fueled.

[Smiley_ie]

Me and and mate played this last night took us 2 hours 45 mins to finish with 2 of us. Great mission ran with no problems.

[Stridergg]

We played this mission yesterday with my buddy and it's a great mission, a lot of fun.

It was mostly bug free, except for one occasion, when my friend respawned at the PREVIOUS location of MHQ instead of the current, even though MHQ was up. No big deal though.

Oh and we weren't able to re-arm the chopper with the truck, but re-fueled it just fine. Again, no big deal.

Great mission, we will be playing it again tonight.

[VanhA-ICON]

Made it 1.03 compatible with also new revive version.
See top post for link.

This mission is without doubt, one of the better ones I've played in ArmA 2 so far! Even for two players, its fully doable to finish the mission without to much hassle.

Great work, as usual Vanaha :)

[VanhA-ICON]

Got my arse off the sofa and updated this olden "goldie"

See top post for download and fix details.
