Patrol Operations 2

[roy86]

Nice Job Roy86, this is a great mission, looking forward to editing for I44.
Thanks!

Cheers Vengeance, Glad your having fun with it.

I'm setting up downloadable content packs, which are like "patches" for mission makers that includes all the nessessary configs for the following content mods:

• I44
• Hexagon / Operation FrenchPoint
• BRDM-2 by hcpookie
• PRACS
• Unsung
• AAW
• Duala
• Lingor
• R3F Weapons

This should help modders/mission makers to add their own vehicles into their version of patrol ops.

Also Documentation on how to modify/port Patrol Ops will be released bit by bit in the coming days. Recommend keep an eye on the Wiki as i will be updating the pages bit by bit.

If there are any requests for additional mods other than the above list, just PM me with the needed object class names and i will try to add configs to the next content pack.

Great, got the Wiki in my favorites and will keep up on it. For now I am busy laying out the base with i44 but looking forward to the patch.

Thanks for all your hard work nicely put together!

Wow I will try this tonight thanks.

Thanks for making it ACE2 compatible to

[stk2008]

Just a quick Q.

I am running ACE2 and all so the latest BETA.

When I go to ammo crate I dont see that many weapons at all.
I cant see any sniper rifles I have ranking off so I should not have to rank up before I get them weapons available.

Thanks

NM
its restricted by class which makes sense.

Thanks

EDIT

Does this support persistent dedi servers to?

Reporting back to say, THANKS!
for including ALL the fixes i had ask for,
and some!

I appreciate you.

ps:
i still had the ammo box problem so
i ended up placing my own ammo boxes,
and changing the units from FR to regular
Woodland Marines, but what does this mean:

... its restricted by class which makes sense.

Thanx again for your work!

Means snipers will only see sniper rifles in the crate
means heavy gunners will only see heavy machine guns etc I assume?.

Yep, Class restrictions for weapons is alway on. Not every soldier is a sniper

Persistent Dedicated Mode will work fine. Most missions are not limited by time. Only 2 are. A task will usually keep running until it is completed by human players. Recommend running a large mission count if you want to do this.

Spot On also AT will see heavier AT weapons such as MAAWs,SMAW and JAVs.
The config files in "config_units.sqf" specify the class type for each unit_type.

 Class_ID is used to restrict player gear and hostile unit spawn types:
	aa = Anti Air
	at = Anti Tank
	cr = Crewman
	mg = Machine Gunner / Automatic Rifleman
	na = Default such as Medic or other
	pi = Pilot
	sn = Sniper
	so = Soldier //Gives access to "Soldier" weapons (better than "na")
	tl = leader

e.g.
	["BIS_US","so","US_Soldier_GL_EP1"],
	["BIS_US","mg","US_Soldier_MG_EP1"],
	["BIS_US","at","US_Soldier_AT_EP1"],
	["BIS_US","sn","US_Soldier_Marksman_EP1"]

I've catered for every BIS unit in A2, OA, BAF and PMC with more "expansion packs" on the way to add in the configs for mods posted earlier.

Appreciate the feedback. Glad your liking it and any feedback is taken seriously to improve this mission.

I'm looking at revising the ammobox system. ATM the box and ammo are local to the clients completely. I'm looking at a better way of handling the boxes.

[stk2008]

Nice.

Thanks for replying I hope to get a few of me mates together and give this a proper work out soon

Very cool indeed! I was actually looking into how modulize it as well. So, I will look at the addon pack and go from there. I am very interested if I can modulize the mission tasks as well.

Thanks again for a great way to do all aspects as scripts as it cuts down the amount of mods.

Cheers,
