Looks like there will be no more updates or support for pretense from the author

@Dzsekeb Thanks for your work, and respect your decision!

It's a pity... there are few similar dynamic missions. Good luck Dzsekeb!

Yeah, it's such a shame, his content has been awesome. I understand his reasons though.

It still is. Let's enjoy Dz's phenomenal contributions as long as we can. All the best from me to Dz, and a big, heartfelt THANK YOU. You made a difference, and we'll hopefully see you again!

There are some people here in this community that truly contribute  remarkable work, whether it be Mods, Script files, or Mission work. Dzsekeb is right up there. Awesome work  that has brought a lacking favor in DCS Missions, Thank you. 

Yes hopefully we will see you soon again. All the best DZ.

May I ask how to modify the blue client so that helicopters can also occupy mission points.

Can i play this on singleplayer? Like, load the mission in singleplayer, or is it required to have a MP server?

Works fine in SP, just bear in mind you'll have to work hard on your own, but it is great fun

If you have sufficient CPU and ram then run a local private multiplayer server and join that instead of just playing the mission single player, get much better CPU usage this way

Got a 5700X3D and 64GB of RAM, so it should be fine, ye?

Should be more than enough

Its a real shame this isn't being supported any more, I only just found it and wanted to play it on a local multiplayer server, issue is it ran once, I edited in some loadouts and added the F4E then now I get this error and crash every time I try and run it. ~

nullTried reinstalling, deleting all files, scrubbing temp directory, but there seems to be an issue with it grabbing the GetPlayerName function.

I appreciate this mission is no longer supported, but I was wondering if anyone can help with a problem we are having. 

I am trying to host the mission as a local MP game for a couple of friends but the game will crash to desktop if you select an aircraft from a region you don't own yet (for example, I selected an F16 at Beirut since it was first on the list). In Foothold, if you tried to do this it would tell you you don't own that region, and it seems to do this if I load Pretense in SP. I managed to get it to work by working out which airfield you start with and spawning there, but is there anything we can do to stop this problem?

Which map?

 

I assume you have slot blocker installed.

 

You might try the discord server as well.

[Reccelow]

If anyone wants to add the Chinook to allow transport and logistics , you need to add two lines into the pretense_compiled.lau file.

Look for this section:

-----------------[[ PlayerLogistics.lua ]]-----------------

PlayerLogistics = {}

 

You'll see a list of the allowed transport types.  Add in these two lines:

PlayerLogistics.allowedTypes['CH-47F'] = { supplies = true, personCapacity = 44 }  
PlayerLogistics.allowedTypes['CH-47Fbl1'] = { supplies = true, personCapacity = 44 }

 

Happy hookin'

Is it possible to add the OH58D? I’m assuming just dropping one down in the mission editor is going to mean I don’t get the missions.

Apologise if this has been asked already, I looked but couldn’t see anything.

thanks

Come join us on the Discord. People have posted the code to make the necessary updates there. Even people like me who flunked freshman year computer science can do it

Besides adding the clients in the mission editor, you'll want to adjust the recon parameters, and for transport helis like Chinook, the 'cargo door opened' animation parameters so you can load troops.

Did DZ relax his stance on publicly posting changes to his code?  While he was actively maintaining Pretense, he was crystal clear on his stance against this when commenting on this on his discord.

I’m a bit of a noob when it comes to discord, not really my natural environment. But yeah that sounds good, thanks. How do I do that?

Hi guys, I avoid opening one more Topic and continue in this one, who knows maybe one day it can be useful for someone. How to change map in the mission “Pretense_hotstart_syria_m_1.7.2”?
Thanks

[Abburo]

@calys this does not work like that... you cannot simply "change" the map. However, you may want to look for Retribution which integrates Pretense in their framework and you can create pretense like mission at a click of the button
