[CAMP] Carrier Operations - Duala

[Rough Knight]

OK so I have the latest (2.1) version of the F/A-18, the latest version of this campaign (1.14) and everything else is up to date, though I don't believe the rest to be relavent to my problem. When trying to load the first mission "Air Superiority" I get this error: "Campaigns\carrieroperations-duala\missions\Mission1.isladuala\mission.sqm/Mission/Groups/Item77/Vehicles/Item0.vehicle: Vehicle class mar_fighter_pilot no longer exists" And I also cannot continue or back out of the error screen despite CO responding according to Task Manager. Anyone have any ideas?

See this link.

make sure you are not using a standalone version of the mar_fighter_pilot addon. I think it was called @Mar_Pilot. This is now included in the @Mar_2MAW addon and will cause a conflict if activated. The campaign will only work with the units included in the f18 addon.

Good luck let us know if that fixes your problem.

Cheers

That didn't seem to work either, I even redownloaded EVERYTHING in the required downloads list (even Duala full) and put them all in a dedicated mod folder titled "CO-D". That didn't work either, I'm still getting the exact same error message. I don't know what is going on haha

Saw this and thought it would be pretty cool to implement in a mission for a future update:

I spent some time trying to get this mission to work, looks really cool, but unfortunately I couldn't get it to work. I am new to modding so I am probably doing something wrong. But I downloaded all the required and recommended mods and installed them in to folders. Then I ran an Arma2 Launcher which found all the mods and I ticked them. Then I ran the game. First issue was a message saying "addon mando_portables requires addon caweapons_e_javelin" which I tried searching but I couldn't find much help. I saw people talking about deleting it if you dont own OA but I do own OA (I am running Combined Ops). I can just click past that though, but then another error pops up saying, "error compiling pixel shader psspecularalpha 0" and then when I close that it stops loading the game.

I did some trial and error and noticed that if I disable "Expansion" from the Arma2 Launcher, the game will actually load and I can select the Duala Campaign, and then the difficulty and the mission, but when I click play, the game just locks up and sits there for ages. I once left it alone and after about half an hour the client crashed.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Hmmm. It does sound like an addons problem. Be sure to use @CBA. That caweapons error referes to a vanilla gamefile which makes me wonder if you really are running ARMA2:CO?

Make sure @CBA is given first priority on loading in Mod order. Don't select "expansion" in the mod selection tab because it already loads when you select ARMA2:CO (expansion is the Operation Arrowhead part I think).

Edit: Links seem ok.

You do have the Isla Duala "Full version" including the units right? Just Isla Duala will not be enough. Hope you find the problem.

Hey Knight thanks a lot, I got it working thanks to your help! Trying to remember everything I did... but here goes.

1) First off, I was missing some mods. The Carrier Ops mod download page at armaholic.com doesn't mention CBA and maybe one or two others, so first I had to install that. That got rid of some of the errors although the game still didn't load.

2) I then got a different Launcher because the one I had didn't let me arrange the mods in any order. I now have a new swanky one

3) I also screwed around with my mod installs because I originally just put everything in their own folders. I'm still not sure how you are supposed to do it (I will have to read up on this and then tidy up my Arma folder), but for now I just left everything there and then duplicated everything by putting anything from the addons folder in my arma2/addons folder, and the same with keys and scripts and whatever else.

4) It still wasn't working at this point, but then when I was exploring my new Arma2 Launcher, I noticed that one of the options is to run the game as Arma2 and one is to run it as Arma:OA, so I selected that and then the mod worked first time, no errors, and I went on to play it for an hour or so LOVE IT by the way! Can't wait to play some more.

Thanks for everything.

No worries mate, I hope you enjoy it.

I am not sure when Meatball will release the new f/A-18 version, perhaps this weekend I will release a new version of the campaign with some fixes and the extra cutscene shown a few pages up.

Cheers
