I&A 3.2.9 with ACE and TFAR

[arma3my]

Hi,

I need help on editing I&A 3.2.9 by installing ACE on it. I'm not good with coding or scripting.

So far, I just edited the Arsenal Gear Limitation and Restrict TFAR Items and Backpacks with success.

 

 

Plan:

- Use most of ACE Modules

- Remove I&A Revive System

- Remove I&A Earplug Script

 

My intention for this purpose is to host the mission as private for my community to play.

Be advise, all the credits are unedited and it always goes to those who deserved it respectfully.

 

With this, I attached a file for anyone who's willing to assist/help.

 

Invade_&_Annex_3_2_9.Altis.rar

This should be as simple as putting them down in the editor and selecting the options you want.

For TFAR plug this code in the init.sqf:
TF_terrain_interception_coefficient = 5;
TF_give_microdagr_to_soldier = false;
tf_give_personal_radio_to_regular_soldier = false;
tf_no_auto_long_range_radio = true;
tf_same_sw_frequencies_for_side = true;
tf_radio_channel_name = "Channel_Name_Here";
TFAR_fullDuplex = false;

 

Of course you can edit them to what you like, just don't use the TFAR modules in eden.

the earplugs are created in this file:
\Invade_&_Annex_3_2_10.altis\Scripts\misc\earplugs.sqf
Find all the places where this is called/spawned/executed/... remove them and you'll be good.

We use derp revive, not our own revive system.  All the actual files of derp revive can be found in this folder: \Invade_&_Annex_3_2_10.altis\Functions\revive

To get rid of it again find where any of those files are called/spawned/executed/... and remove these calls/spawns/execs/... 

That's the basics it might take some time because derp is pretty entangled with I&A.  For example the TK messages rely on derp-revive.

 

[arma3my]

Thanks for the reply Stanhope. Need help on next task.

 

Here's the current Task that I want to accomplish:

 

- CHVD can be access anywhere instead of Quartermaster.

- Remove all derp script without breaking the mission.

 

Here's the mission file:

Invade_&_Annex_3_2_9.Altis.rar

Easiest way i can think of is grab the code from the addaction on the arsenals and put an addaction on the player himself.  So probably in the initplayer.sqf

You can't.  For the very simple reason that we use a modified version of derp main-AO spawn handler.  You can delete all the derp revive things tho.

I don't get this one. Can you show me the code?

[Stanhope]

Currently this is the code that spawns an arsenal at the FOBs, they also have that action on them.

 

[_arsenalBox, ("ArsenalFilter" call BIS_fnc_getParamValue)] call derp_fnc_VA_filter;
[]spawn {sleep 1;};

[_arsenalBox, ("ArsenalFilter" call BIS_fnc_getParamValue)] remoteExec ["derp_fnc_VA_filter",-2,true];
[_arsenal, ["<t color='#009ACD'>Teleport To Main Base</t>","cutText ['','BLACK OUT'];sleep 2;[player,'BASE'] remoteExec ['AW_fnc_baseTeleport',2];sleep 1; cutText ['','BLACK IN'];","",0,false,true,"","('BASE' in controlledZones)"]] remoteExec ["addAction", -2, true];
[_arsenal, ["View Distance Settings", CHVD_fnc_openDialog, [], -99, false, true]] remoteExec ["addAction", -2, true];
[_arsenal, ["<t color='#006bb3'>Save gear</t>",{player setVariable ["derp_savedGear", (getUnitLoadout player)]; systemChat "gear saved";}]] remoteExec ["addAction", -2, true];
 

Now just grab the view distance one, rewrite it to only have local effect instead of global and put it in the initplayer.sqf.  I'm about 95% sure that that will work, haven't tested it tho.

You mean like this,

this addAction ["View Distance Settings", CHVD_fnc_openDialog, [], -99, false, true]] remoteExec ["addAction", -2, true];

[Stanhope]

No, that's not gonna work.  For starters you close a square bracket that is never opened and you're still remotely executing it on everyone but the server.

Just rewrite it to the format in this BI page: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/addAction

@Stanhope thanks for the guide so far.
How can i make the enemy Jet or Attack Chopper to spawn more often. Especially in Main AO's and Randomly spawn every 15-20 minutes.

[Stanhope]

In \Invade_&_Annex_3_2_10.altis\Missions\Main\subobj.sqf

In the case RadioTower in the spawned code change the sleeps to change the frequency of the jets.

If you also want to change which vehicles are spawned by the RT just go to the AW_fnc_airfieldJet and add/remove the vehicles you like.

[arma3my]

Default is 12 minutes + random 8 minutes.

Spoiler

[_targetStartText] remoteExec ["AW_fnc_globalHint",0,false];
        [west,["SubAoTask"],["OPFOR have setup a radio communications tower in the AO. Take it out quickly or else they will use it to call in air strikes.","Radio Tower","radioCircle"],(getMarkerPos "radioCircle"),"Created",0,true,"destroy",true] call BIS_fnc_taskCreate;
        [] spawn {
            sleep (30 + (random 180));
            if (alive radioTower) then {
                while {(alive radioTower)} do {
                    if (jetCounter < 3) then {
                    [] call AW_fnc_airfieldJet;
                    sleep (720 + (random 480));
                    };
                };
            };
        };

 

Edited to 5 minutes + random 3 minutes. What is sleep (30 + (random 180)); and if (jetCounter < 3) then { do?

Spoiler

[_targetStartText] remoteExec ["AW_fnc_globalHint",0,false];
        [west,["SubAoTask"],["OPFOR have setup a radio communications tower in the AO. Take it out quickly or else they will use it to call in air strikes.","Radio Tower","radioCircle"],(getMarkerPos "radioCircle"),"Created",0,true,"destroy",true] call BIS_fnc_taskCreate;
        [] spawn {
            sleep (30 + (random 180));
            if (alive radioTower) then {
                while {(alive radioTower)} do {
                    if (jetCounter < 3) then {
                    [] call AW_fnc_airfieldJet;
                    sleep (300 + (random 180));
                    };
                };
            };
        };

For the Jet type this:

Spoiler

jetCounter = jetCounter + 1;
_accepted = false;
_casType = ["airfieldSpawn","gunStrike"];
_casCase = selectRandom _casType;
_jetlist = ["O_Plane_CAS_02_F","O_Plane_CAS_02_F","O_Plane_Fighter_02_F","O_Plane_Fighter_02_Stealth_F","I_Plane_Fighter_04_F","I_Plane_Fighter_04_F"];
_jettype = selectRandom _jetlist;

 

That's for the Jet to spawn base on SubObj. How to create a random Attack Chopper or Jets that isn't base on that. For example, the jet spawn from any airfield except base.

[Stanhope]

actually it'll pick where to spawn the jet.  Either at an airfield, in the air or just a jetstrike.

[arma3my]

What am i doing wrong here. The jet still not spawn randomly in the air as time set.

mmh, it only appears to have code for a gunstrike and for airfieldspawn.  If you want to have it randomly spawn you'll have to write that code yourself.

This is where it will randomly pick a type from: _casType = ["airfieldSpawn","gunStrike"];
