'Cipher' - full dynamic [SP & MP/Coop] with unlimited replayability

[fabrizio_T]

Hi wiper,

tried this mission for the very first time and i enjoyed it.
I hit a nasty bug however: whenever i reload a savegame i have a "generic error in expression" notice raised onscreen.

.RPT file says:

...
Error in expression <lect 0)+(_pos select 1)+(_pos select 2))in _OccupiedWP)and
(_pos select 0)>0)the>
  Error position: <in _OccupiedWP)and
(_pos select 0)>0)the>
  Error Generic error in expression
Error in expression <lect 0)+(_pos select 1)+(_pos select 2))in _OccupiedWP)and
(_pos select 0)>0)the>
  Error position: <in _OccupiedWP)and
(_pos select 0)>0)the>
  Error Generic error in expression...

Finally, out of curiosity, i found in your .pbo a script named "findcover.sqf", containing a call to Findcover function.
Beware, Findcover function and SetHideBehind function are known being not working anymore in ArmA2 (not implemented - http://dev-heaven.net/issues/show/2016).

All in all great work so far

Thanks for your feedback, fabrizio_T

I'm aware of this and although I'm sure its one of many Arma2 savegame glitches it's on top of my to do list to find a way around this :-\
The key functions arent influenced however by this bug. Its a waypoint pool administration that prevents AI groups from sharing 1 BuildingPos at once, so this might happen after a game is reloaded due to this bug.

Rest assured that its not used. You'll also find several other FindCover* scripts serving as a workaround for that missing function.

Great you liked the mission.

Update almost done, featuring more menu options, a SpecOp light mode and lots of tweaks and fixes.

Wiper,
can you change my ingame name from 'Willi Wiper' to my real account name? It is displayed properly during the briefing, but then it changes to 'Willi Wiper'.

Done.

v1.28

Hello there,

I'm not sure if this is a game bug or map related, but:

When I tried to delete an old version of this map (v1.26) and update it with the new version (v1.28), I cannot delete the old version. I have deleted the 1.26 pbo and anything with the word "Cipher" in the file anywhere on my drive, such that any search term I type in vista returns no results, no lurking pbos, nor anything related to this mission.

Yet whenever I open up the "scenarios" tab in the game, there it is, "Cipher 1.26a", even tho I deleted all the files. I can even load and play the mission, how do I wipe that version off my drives?

I'd love to play the new version of this mission. thank you.

I don't know if it's intentional or not, but it seems the specop "light" mode wasn't added, but instead replaced the original...

Unfortunaly, or maybe better say luckily, I never touched and probably never will touch Vista. So lets hope a Vista prooven guy may jump in and help out here. Have you asked around in the troubleshooting forum for removing Arma2 content under Vista ?
However, if you add the most recent version to your missions folder ( SP or MP ) in your Arma2 directory all should be fine though as its a new pbo each time with a different name, that should show up at least as an additional mission name/verison in the scenario list.

Shouldn't be even possible. There is a new options dialog since v1.28 in SP mode and additional options in the MP lobby where the "normal" SpecOp mode is available as well as the "light" version.



All right, new version up, further polishing any hot fixing some nasty bugs introduced with 1.28

As always, available on the first page

And as always, have fun !!

v1.29

• hot fixed: vehicle driving AI not getting back in vehicles after disembarking
• hot fixed: disabled AI (in MP lobby) caused permanent script errors
• fixed: weapon cargo in truck and ammo crates not accessible for JIP’ing players
• fixed: pier type object missing in the blacklist for the primary target
