Domination server hosting issue

[Dreadnaught396]

I'm having a problem hosting domination. I'm trying to use a version that another server has (7th Cav) and it will not work. I copied the file from MPmissionsCache to the Arma 2\MPmissions\ folder and it is detected. However, it will not load correctly. None of the scripting carries over and all players are immune to damage of any kind. Lots of UI and interaction options are missing as well. The main objective doesn't trigger. Is there something I am doing wrong?

I would recommended you use the base domination. Issue could possibly be due to mod dependency.

[Dreadnaught396]

Im guessing thats what the issue is..which sucks because its the only one I've seen that has armor at the start as well as backpacks.

[Alderman]

Most should have backpacks now at the start, depending on the variable set in the description.ext

You can add in your own armor and just use a simple vehicle respawn script. That is what we do with our version of domination, though you dont start with armor, only a good variety of humvees etc, which tends to work out great so AO's are not a cake walk.

You wouldn't be able to copy & paste some vehicle respawn script would you? and explain where to put it. I have next to no coding knowledge of any kind :/

  Simple Vehicle Respawn Script v1.7
  by Tophe of Östgöta Ops [OOPS]
  
  Put this in the vehicles init line:
  veh = [this] execVM "vehicle.sqf"


  Options:
  There are some optional settings. The format for these are:
  veh = [this, Delay, Deserted timer, Respawns, Effect, Static] execVM "vehicle.sqf"

  
  Default respawn delay is 30 seconds, to set a custom
  respawn delay time, put that in the init as well. 
  Like this:
  veh = [this, 15] execVM "vehicle.sqf"

  Default respawn time when vehicle is deserted, but not
  destroyed is 120 seconds. To set a custom timer for this 
  first put the respawn delay, then the deserted vehicle timer. (0 = disabled)
  Like this:  
  veh = [this, 15, 10] execVM "vehicle.sqf"

  By default the number of respawns is infinite. To set a limit
  First set the other values then the number of respawns you want (0 = infinite).
  Like this:
  veh = [this, 15, 10, 5] execVM "vehicle.sqf"


  Set this value to TRUE to add a special explosion effect to the wreck when respawning.
  Default value is FALSE, which will simply have the wreck disappear.
  Like this:
  veh = [this, 15, 10, 5, TRUE] execVM "vehicle.sqf"
  
  By default the vehicle will respawn to the point where it first
  was when the mission started (static). This can be changed to 
  dynamic. Then the vehicle will respawn to the position where it was destroyed. 
  First set all the other values then set TRUE for dynamic or FALSE for static.
  Like this:
  veh = [this, 15, 10, 5, TRUE, TRUE] execVM "vehicle.sqf"
  
  If you you want to set the INIT field of the respawned vehicle, first set all other 
  values, then set init commands. Those must be inside quotations.
  Like this:
  veh = [this, 15, 10, 5, TRUE, FALSE, "this setDammage 0.5"] execVM "vehicle.sqf"
  
  Default values of all settings are:
  veh = [this, 30, 120, 0, FALSE, FALSE] execVM "vehicle.sqf"

Just copy all that into a notepad and save as vehicle.sqf and put it into your file along side mission.sqm
