    Note:
    Working on this new dynamic mission, made with modified Zub scripts. I have been tweaking much and adding new functions to fit the concept in Takistan map. If you are interested, I have the "sandbox"-part ready for testing. There isnt yet any tasks, you can just explore the map and try to stay alive. Let me know if you have any feedback or any new feature ideas. I continue working on this, tweaking the core scripts and slowly creating tasks/cutscenes/story into it.

    Note2:
    I added more village names to populate the houses more easily, there is also green "F"'s around the map marking fortress positions that are populated too. I will remove the F's later.

    Comments:
    -This is the first mission for my new dynamic mission concept using heavy scripting to generate alive feeling life around player, no matter where on map he goes. Many tasks spawn randomly giving different feeling on each play. This mission still have some more fixed positioned tasks, but I plan to add more and more dynamic tasks and other features in future.
    -When I get this more ready, I will add the mission also to the current campaign. Now as separate mission.
    -Let me know how this works, is the performance good, is the difficulty level too high? Its smooth on my i7 2600K, but I can always add custom settings for older CPU´s if the FPS feels bad.
    -Let me know if you have any task or feature ideas. I am trying to make this feel like light RPG (expanded Black Forest)

    Hints:
    -Keep moving after enemy contact
    -Its safer in forests
    -Unlimited Savegame 0-0-1 (in SP)
    -Medicpacks 0-0-0 (in SP)

    Thanks , I noticed one information missing (if player dosent pay attention to the dialog). After CDF task, you can begin new NAPA task at the HQ by using an action.

    Hi Saok

    Thanks very much for sharing this. Played through to

    Spoiler:


    with no problems. Great so far.

    The reference to 'Black Forest' hooked me - I recently played through that & enjoyed it very much

    Also downloaded Zavarak this morning - thank you for making that with an SP option, I'm looking forward to playing that as well as soon as time allows.

    I really like your missions. Thank you & keep up the great work

    Thanks , I prefer creating SP missions. I will focus on those in future too, but make MP conversions as extra.

    I tryed to get back in Black Forest mood in this one (and hopefully even more with upcoming updates.). The Chasing Grim Reaper campaign forced to keep things quite linear and it ended being very actionful. I will try to offer much more RPG style freedom and quiet moments in these dynamic missions.

    Cool

    Okay, I reloaded my saved game from yesterday & got the following error:

    Code:
    Error in expression <ariable "mando_warning";
    };
    };
    };
    
    if (!isNull _misecm) then
    {
    _numecm = _unitec>
      Error position: <isNull _misecm) then
    {
    _numecm = _unitec>
      Error Generic error in expression
    I had CBA (build 175), zp5_at_fix, OKT_noblur, & Jedra's skills slider loaded. Tested with vanilla & got the same error on loading a saved game.

    Haven't seen any effects from this, but then I haven't tried firing any missiles yet. Will test that this evening.

    Thanks Humwee28.

    That error is from mando missiles script. I have it in every my mission that uses it. Its not causing any effect, but I will try to fix that too unless its already fixed in newer script version. I guess that isNull should be isNil with "", but lets see.

    New mission version is in work too. I fixed the earlier bugs, made the mission little harder from start, the truck dosent dissapear now so quickly, traffic issue/fire effect is fixed, and I added proper removal for some generated friendly units/vehicle + enemy vehicles. In the 0.8 mission version that causes those appearing badly (especially the units) when player have moved a lot.

    I will also try to add some new tasks and if all goes good a custom heavy injury effect (so if player got really badly wounded with damage 0.7->not dead, he would knock out before wakeing up in some random near forest or at HQ with his team-mates + maybe random losses). I dont make him immortal or make that even happen on every hit. I hope to keep all balansed and not to highlight any annoying features. For next version I will also include more transport vehicles between the tasks.
