wow! very nice mission!
I played with ACE to refuel my vehicle that was almost empty of fuel, took me about half hour to fill the tank, checking every car in the villages, then suddenly shooting comes from everywhere and I died :s
Would be cool a coop mission

After more than three months of hard work and sleepless nights I am pleased to present the V1.40 update for Zero.

V1.40 Highlights:

• Five new, hidden sidetasks
• Several random events throughout Chernarus
• Usable fuel canister to drain fuel from empty vehicles
• UI interface to transfer weapons / equipment between vehicles and / or ammocrates
• Countless tweaks, bug fixes and optimizations
• ...and much more...

I noticed quite some problems with the caching of AI groups, like disappearing enemies, killed units respawning out of thin air and civilians not leaving the trucks. I have disabled the caching scripts for now to remove all these bugs. The downside is that now all units are present all the time, which might result in quite a performance drop. On my computer the mission runs fine with 50+ fps, however on older / slower systems it might be problematic. Any feedback on this is appreciated.


I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for your feedback, bug reports and ideas. I had never expected this mission to be that popular and it's really great to see so many people enjoy my work. Thanks a lot!
Have fun playing.

I should inform you i m also running
ACE//ASR_AI//JSRS//ST_MOVEMENT//warFX_Blastcore

The error message is from a function I use quite often in the mission, but I'm currently not sure where exactly the problem is. It seems like I have an undefined variable somewhere.
During the countless hours of testing this error didn't appear once. I'll look into it and see if I can locate the cause. The addons you use shouldn't be a problem here I believe.
Thanks for reporting.

I have to say this was a pretty fantastic mission, I hope you'll keep adding more detail/hidden tasks to it. It reminds me of Abandoned Armies from OFP - well done. (I only played 1.30 but I'll replay 1.40.) I'm looking forward to other SP missions from you.

Oh, in 1.30 I ran into a few bugs - you may have fixed some of these but FYI (warning, may give away details):

• I found most transport trucks all in one place, close to the big insurgent base. I assume these are supposed to patrol the area but they somehow got stuck. There was also a UAZ there.
• When I used a grenade to kill the patrol at the power station, they died and then they one-by-one came back to life.
• At the radio tower, I killed everyone but due to the long animation, parachuters had time to arrive on location and I was killed during the animation several times because I was placed on ground level, outside the tower.
• The Bizon has fairly limited ammo - this turned out to be a hugely useful weapon so more ammo for it would be nice. I know I'm greedy.

Thanks again for this mission, great job.

Outstanding intro, and atmosphere so far.

I seem to be stuck on the first rescue mission. I've secured the prisoners, killed enemy in the immediate area, and when the warlord leader shows up he just runs around the warehouse for a bit before leaving. The prisoners are still sitting there, tied up. What am I missing?

[Clayman]

The first objective is complete as soon as all enemies are killed. Probably there is still one or more left somewhere.
There were similar "last loon" problems with other tasks in the mission which I had removed in the last update, but I forgot to change the condition for the first task. Will do so in the next update.


Thanks for the comments.
