[SP] Flashpoint: Takistan - Dynamic Mission

[thomsonb]

Is the spawned unit you play as named? or is it wDummy?

Actually the player is named "P1", but that handle is never actually used in the scripts
The dummy unit is deleted, its just there to allow the preview mode in the editor..
Of course the player is always called "player"

Howdy there,

This mission idea fits perfectly with some of the interests of the players at my local LAN...

The problem is, it's SP, as you obviously know. Are there any plans to expand it to Co-op?

Hey just tried this mod for the first time. I have been away from ARMA II for a while, and read about this, so I decided to give it a go. All I can say is "Good Gosh". I, well my team rather, got hit in a ravine bordering a village, and it was insane how the engagement played out. The entire structure of this mod creating a war on the map is off the chart. And, the ongoing war feels organized too. You just dont come onto random units wanding and jumbled up. You come into the middle of an engagement. Well done I say!
Anychance a COOP version may be released? One other thing, that may be in already, but I have to ask? Is the chopper support for transport? Thanks for this brilliant mod.

I noticed Arma II has 2 smaller addons you can buy. 1. British Forces and 2. Private Military. will this mod work correctly with just A2 and OA? I have those 2 installed and it seemed to work fine. I chose a user defined mission and selected british and US, and I don't recall seeing any brits show up, so I thought I would inquire. Thanks

Ok, so I read the readme, and yeah, you need BAF and PMC installed....doh, shouldda read first huh?
so anyway, havent seen an answer to whether COOP will be a version. Would be great to play with buddies. Thanks for all the work

Hi warleader6

thanks for the feedback, im glad you are enjoying the mission!

About the transport helicopters you see in the mission, right now they do not have any transport script. They are just "eye candy", and missile magnets! I tried to make them drop off troops, but there were so many problems with selecting random landing zones, my script always resulted in crashes! This feature is still on the "to do" list, becuase it would be cool, il have another crack at it when i have some time

Your other question is a very common one, "can we have a MP COOP version?"

I have been asked this so many times, so I know it would be very popular!
The answer (at this time) is, i will try may best, but dont expect anything too soon

I started developing a MP version last year, but ran into loads of problems, nearly all of the 50+ script files will need to be changed in some way.
its a huge job basically

anyway a very happy new year to everyone, thanks for all the positive messages and feedback

cheers
