Editing, Expanding and Modifying Domination

**Signaller** · Sep 25 2011, 12:14

I been getting a lot of requests from visitors & members of my Domi server, for a permanent waypoint to the base.

The I came up with the idea of adding a task with a waypoint to the base, but as I feared, it won't allow the game to finish once all of the main targets are solved. I think the solution is to add it as a child task to each new main target mission as child tasks auto complete once the parent task is solved.

The problem is I can't find where the main mission tasks are.

Using Domi 2.60M

in tasks.sqf

Spoiler:

Anyone know how to do this?

Thanks

I tried this too, but couldn't figure it out, I found a script that would do the same thing.

Make an ammo box on the editor, put the text below in the init line of your box (please note this box is for OA, BAF, PMC and won't work with Arma 2)

Code:

nul = this execVM "ammo.sqf";

create ammo.sqf (in spoiler below) & place it in your mission directory.

Spoiler:

If you want the 'save layout' , 'clear layout' & 'Get Backpack' options for your ammo crate add the text below to the init field (I use domi 2.60m, this may not work with older versions)

Code:

this addAction[("<t color=""#F4C610"">" + ("Save Layout") +    "</t>"),"x_client\x_savelayout.sqf"];  this addAction[("<t color=""#F4C610"">" + ("Clear Layout") +    "</t>"),"x_client\x_clearlayout.sqf"];    this addAction[("<t color=""#F4C610"">" + ("Get Backpack") +    "</t>"),"x_client\x_getbackpack.sqf"];

Hope this helps

This script doesn't do the same thing as the crates in Domina.
All crates in Domina are clientside only, means, they are only created (with createVehicleLocal) on a client and do not exist on the server to avoid issues with crate content synchronization (beside making it easier to handle different weapon layouts for the ranked version and having less data to sync for JIP clients).

Xeno

My apologies Xeno, I didn't take this into account, would it be possible to associate the x_playerammobox.sqf with a second marker so it could spawn another crate?

P.S. Thank you for all of your hard work on Domi it's greatly appreciated.

*Edit* How about this?

Place an invisible helipad where you want the extra ammo crate to go, name it box1

x_client\x_playerammobox.sqf

Spoiler:

Box disappeared after respawn, add the lines in red to x_client\x_setupplayer to fix this.(the code is just before half way down in the original script)

Spoiler:

I realise this is a bit of a sloppy (possible) solution, but my scripting knowledge is somewhat limited.

I did search for this but found nothing of help.....

How do I play a Domination game but with character skins/models of my choosing rather than the stock US Army ones?

Thanx in advance.

depbo the mission, copy it to your missions (\ArmA 2 Other Profiles\name\missions\), open it with the editor and replace the playable units with the ones you want. Don't forget to make them playable again and keep their names.

Had another idea on this, seems to work OK on a dedi server, haven't tested it with JIP though.

Place a marker anywhere in the editor called AMspawn then place an invisible helipad named hp1 where you want the ammo box to be.
Finally put the code below at the end of x_client\x_playerammobox.sqf

Code:

_AM1 = "BAF_BasicWeapons" createVehiclelocal (getMarkerPos "AMspawn");
[_AM1] call FUNC(weaponcargo);
[_AM1,_box_array] execFSM "fsms\PlayerAmmobox.fsm";
player reveal _AM1;
player reveal _AM1;
_AM1 attachTo [hp1,[-6,0,1.35]];
_AM1 addAction ["Save gear layout" call d_fnc_BlueText, "x_client\x_savelayout.sqf"];
_AM1 addAction ["Clear gear layout" call d_fnc_BlueText, "x_client\x_clearlayout.sqf"];
_AM1 addAction ["Get Backpack" call FUNC(BlueText), "x_client\x_getbackpack.sqf"];

You may want to add the line _AM1 allowDamage false; although the crate will respawn it will be empty. Remember to comment out the backpack line if your not using the OA version.

Hope this helps.

Thanx Ill have to try this out in the dedi, otherwise it works great in editor, Thank you
