Jedra's mini Time-Trial Pack

[csb]

Hi Jedra.

Thanks for explaining why it is not advisable to copy pbo straight into the Addons folder.

However, I don't understand " Launch the mod with the "-mod=@JedraMissions" switch".

Could you explain wher this must be added.

I am sure many others will dl your TimeTrials - they give a great sense of speed and proximity.

AND the trials actually help with gaining control skill of the helos. So good for training.

Which version of Take On Helicopters have you got? Steam, Sprocket, DVD?

However, I don't understand " Launch the mod with the "-mod=@JedraMissions" switch".

If you have a desktop shortcut, then this is a parameter to add to the EXE itself (Target field). Yet another way is to not use the switch, and visit the Expansions menu in-game. There you can enable the mod, restart and it will be loaded.

Thanks everyone for quick replies.

I went to the updated mod guide for TOH - I understand. I will use the line to disable startup screens.

And I think I will try using the expansions menu.

I have DVD version.

To coincide with the new patch, I have updated the mission pack in the link on the first post. The Time Trials will now appear in a submenu within Time Trials called 'Jedra's Time Trials'. Should help to keep things tidy!

Nice use of the author-tag to show your logo! For final releases you can also configure CfgMods and mod.cpp in the @JedraMissions folder to show your information / logo in the Expansions menu.

• Cool new approach to night-time TTs, though I really had to enable landing lights. There's functionality now to run custom code upon init. You can consider automatically enabling them. Using nvg = 1 does it, but it's not what you're after judging from the overview
• Gold can still be a bit tougher

• Nice figure 8 design
• Really liking the big drops after the turns, especially the one directly going under a bridge
• One CP is at a strange angle: the center one in the second big turn (hence 2 attempts )

Thanks again for your feedback!

Yes, there is a misplaced ring - the appoach used to be different and I forgot to change that one - I'll twist it round a bit!

I was just looking at the initfunc function in the Time Trial fsm. The way I did the lights was to make a custom mission folder and run the script from init.sqf after the TT's got initialised. I'll play with this instead as it means I don't need my own copy of the mission folder to run a script. I'll add some lights to the helicopter for those who are scared of the dark ;-)

Thanks for your comments and advice - appreciated!
