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

[Wiper]

I finally was able to nail that "disabled AI" issue down, hopefully once and forever.

silent_op, I hope you dont mind I put you in the credits for finding that bug out. Many thanks for that once again

New version 1.34 is up on the first page.

Have fun !

Thanks for your replies folks.

@All
Feel free to edit and change stuff of the mission to your liking but please dont load it up publicly.
Most if not all wishes and adds that peaple would like to see in Cipher are all features that I left out intentional after I have added and tested them by myself.
Please understand my move here. Some of these features like the FirstAid or SecOp module do not seem to work flawlessly in *all* modes this mission supports (see the threads in the mission edit forum).
Additionally they change the game play of the mission in way I intentionally wanted to avoid, really, hence Cipher wouldn't be Cipher anymore how it was meant to be.
Again, feel free to change content to your liking but as for now, dont go public with it. Maybe I'll change my stance for that but I need to rethink some aspects of the mission first.

I understand completely Wiper, which is why I asked. The SECOPS (support) module brings a powerful amount of ordinance to the mission, which favours it heavily towards BLUFOR if used excessively. I have experienced the complexities first hand of trying to have SECOPS work across a range of game modes and underdstand why you omitted it.

Once again let me say what a big job you have done with this mission so far. Well done mate.

Wiper,
The mission seems to work just fine now. Thank you for even considering my suggestions. The helicopter lifts off as soon as the team member (or members) exit the helicopter.

For our server only, I think I will replace the insertion urals with civilian versions, and place the kit in the crates as cargo in the trucks. One thing I did do was add some M4s with ACOGs and GLs, M9s M9SDs, M1911s, and M136s to the briefing kit screen.

I look forward to your next mission design.


I meant to ask this before...
What is the "SpecOps version - only for usage with a server template"? What do you mean by server template?

What is the "SpecOps version - only for usage with a server template"? What do you mean by server template?

There's a mission class in the server.cfg where admins can define all missions that shall be available on a dedicated server.
Each mission class in the server.cfg has a "template=<mission name>" entry that points to the mission folder/pbo name and it may also contain some entry to for the "lobby" parameters for that respective mission.
Unfortunately I dont know how to define that parameter setting in there, and I never found any answers to my questions regarding this throughout the web. Also the parameter entries I once found somewhere (Param1, Param2) for Arma2 versions prior to v1.03 never worked for me using this mission class definitions.

I added a predefined SpecOP version (default parameter set in the description.ext) to the archive simply to allow an admin to host an alternative variant of Cipher.
This way clients without admin rights can vote at least for one second 'Cipher' mission mode and arent bound to always play the default 'Task Force' mode.

Download 1.34 now and can't wait to give it a crack. You are a very generous mission creator Wiper.

Wiper,
The mission works great. We played the mission earlier today on our dedicated server. Not only did the insert work as it was planned, but the extract worked just as well. Very cool mission, thank you. I look forward to more inserts.
