Operation Scarlet Dawn - Syria PvE Persistent Campaign
Surrexen replied to Surrexen's topic in User Created Missions General
Well, I was going to remake Operation Jupiter so I could make use of the Mosquito, but alas the flak is kind of insane right now so there isn't much point. Also there is no AI Lancaster to go along with the Mosquito which is rather disappointing. For the modern missions, If the Forrestal ever comes out I will add it in as I've been wanting to do that. When the Apache comes out, I will add that as well. But really, I haven't had much time to fly for months so major changes are not likely to happen. I didn't know they added that scenery object trigger doodad either. -

You can do this if you implement slot block into the mission and run it on dedicated server. Since I don't have a server I don't make it like this. I was led to believe that ED were moving away from the slot system entirely, so perhaps if that ever happens I'll be able to rework things to make it more logical like that. -

To be on the safe side yes you should blow it up. There is some kind of magic ED algorithm that comes into play when opposing units are in the zone, I'm not entirely sure how it works but sometimes something like a tank will 'win' against a soldier or an ammo truck or whatever. I'd follow Ripley's suggestion and nuke it all from orbit, just to be sure. -
Operation Scarlet Dawn - Syria PvE Persistent Campaign
Surrexen replied to Surrexen's topic in User Created Missions General
The oil rigs are purely decorative, and were made red to avoid them being in the radio channels ATC list because I couldn't find a different way to stop that from happening. You could destroy them if you so wished, but there isn't much point, they are not part of the mission list per se. The default maximums for build totals are: Infantry groups: 8 Stinger groups: 4 Engineer groups: 4 Hawk sites: 3 Ammo trucks: 8 Rolands: 2 Abrams tanks: 4 Avengers: 3 Bradleys: 3 NASAMS: 2 Cargo containers: 24 An airfield is captured by dropping any infantry team into the zone (rifle/stingers/engineers) or moving any vehicle into the airfield zone and making sure there are no red units in the airfield zone. Hope that helps -
fixed Freya and Würzburg EWR? Do they work?
Surrexen replied to gulredrel's topic in Bugs and Problems
I can't get them to work either, what exactly is the setup for them supposed to be? -

Surrexen replied to Surrexen's topic in User Created Missions General
Thank you for letting me know, I'll check it. I have most likely done something ridiculous when adding the NASAMS into it. Edit: Corrected versions have been uploaded for Scarlet Dawn/Snowfox Escalation/Clear Field Escalation. -
reported WWII aircraft cause extreme load times stage 'Spawn objects'
Surrexen replied to Buzzer1977's topic in General Bugs
Yes I agree it seems worse after the last patch and am seeing the same thing you are with 'export start'. -
Operation Scarlet Dawn - Syria PvE Persistent Campaign
Surrexen replied to Surrexen's topic in User Created Missions General
I have uploaded a new version for Scarlet Dawn to the user files section to swap over the SA-10's to SA-5's as originally intended, along with various other fixes. As always, I would advise starting new persistence files as names of units etc may have changed. I will be making a similar change to Snowfox Escalation to swap over the Bandar Abbas SA-10 to an SA-5 soon. Edit: Snowfox Escalation update has also been uploaded. Edit: Clear Field Escalation update also uploaded. -
reported WWII aircraft cause extreme load times stage 'Spawn objects'
Surrexen replied to Buzzer1977's topic in General Bugs
Indeed. Here I was going to update Jupiter and Crystal Sea to include the Mosquito but at the moment those missions are hosed. Likewise missions like Operation Jericho are also hosed. -
reported WWII aircraft cause extreme load times stage 'Spawn objects'
Surrexen replied to Buzzer1977's topic in General Bugs
Further to this, there also appears to be an issue when dynamically spawning WWII aircraft into a mission, there is a much bigger pause now when activating a plane (multiple seconds to activate instead of milliseconds). If you dynamically spawn in a modern jet there is no problem with it. -
reported earlier Free Flight Freeze at Spawn Objects
Surrexen replied to Steve Gee's topic in Bugs and Problems
Yes I had just updated my response. I am noticing that dynamic spawns for WW2 content are taking much longer to spawn in than usual, and yes the maps are taking a lot longer to load. No issue with the modern jets on Syria etc. -

You can just swap it over. Just don't delete the group and replace entirely as the scripts will not be happy with you. -
reported earlier Free Flight Freeze at Spawn Objects
Surrexen replied to Steve Gee's topic in Bugs and Problems
I'm getting this issue both in Channel and Normandy, but I'm not sure that it's the Spit/P-51/P-47 that are the cause, I think it is something else but can't pin it down yet. Edit: If it is sitting at 'spawn objects' for a long time, give it some more time. Seems it just takes forever and a day to load now. -
Wingmen incessant talking over radio.
Surrexen replied to DropBear64's topic in User Created Missions General
Put "silence" on them from the advanced waypoint commands. Alternatively, you can give them "no report waypoint pass" so they don't blab about every waypoint they hit. -

Looking really good!

reported Anti Ship Search And Engage
Surrexen posted a topic in Aircraft AI Bugs (Non-Combined Arms)
I think there is a missing or broken entry in the enum attributes table for engage targets task, it appears if you set anti-ship planes to a search and engage task looking for "naval", the planes will ignore everything. But if you use "ships" it works fine. When setting an anti ship plane to a search and engage task "naval" is the default target setting. In the attached mission, Hornet 1 uses the default "naval" setting as targets, Hornet 2 uses "ships". Hornet 1 will ignore the target ship ahead of it, while Hornet 2 will immediately launch harpoons at the ship in front of it. Anti Shipping Search And Engage.miz- 1 reply

Operation Scarlet Dawn not saving persistency
Surrexen replied to ZeroReady's topic in User Created Missions General
You can either do that, or grant the user you want to run it as the appropriate windows permissions to the DCS installation folder. -
Operation Scarlet Dawn not saving persistency
Surrexen replied to ZeroReady's topic in User Created Missions General
I updated all missions except for Scarlet Dawn for 2.7 a few days ago so make sure you get the latest version for 2.7 compatibility. If you have already done that, It is probably a user permission issue for write access to the folder. Try running DCS as an admin, run the mission for 6 minutes and then check your DCS World folder (the installation folder, not the saved games folder) for the generated lua's. If the lua's are not present, stop the mission and check the log to see what the error is. Operation Scarlet Dawn's 2.7 update is still in the manufactorum. -

Oh dear. You're not going to like me very much in the next day or two. -

Everything except for Operation Scarlet Dawn has been updated for 2.7 now. Hopefully it all works. -

No idea about either of those problems, we don't get anything like that happen on the JDS servers. -

This is the main reason I won't be touching it. Might see what happens when the new weather stuff gets released ... -

If I was smart enough to understand the dynamic weather system I'd probably do that as well! Anyway yes 'go with God, be safe from evil'.
