Just finished this, it is my biggest mission to date (Both in scale and number of units) and currently has 15 slots. Also got multi respawn placements to work so we can either respawn at the Base, Port or one of the FARPs. Mission also makes full use of the Urban Patrol Script so the AI should be better than normal in their use of tactics rather than just ak47 lazors from 1km away.
There may be a couple of bugs but it is as tested as I alone on a LAN can test it and thus, I present it to you guys.

Briefing
Today we will be hitting multiple targets throughout North Sahrani. Our aim is to break the defences of the Obregan line. We will do this by taking out a number of targets both on and behind the main line in order to weaken the enemy’s positions. Our main targets will be: the artillery batteries located on Monte Liberation and around the Village of Mercalillo, the Communications centre south of Bagango, the AA position at Hants Farm, a radar position hidden in the Mato Virgo forest and the Blackshark Airstrip near Bajo Valor.
We are also seeking to knock out Hard Point Roux which is a central strong point of the line we seek to kills the positions officer and knock out their guns and communication tower.
We have a number of Air and ground assets at our disposal for the Operation but pilots should be aware that the enemy has deployed large amounts of AA to the area and are advised to plot LZ’s well clear of enemy positions.
The towns of Obergan and Bagango are both major centres for the enemy troops in the region and as such it is highly advisable to avoid these areas as much as possible.
Friendly resistance forces have set up FARPS in the north country and can provide repairs for vehicles as well as limited ammo re-supply.

Was playing killing floor with sarge till 4 am =P havent went to bed yet
Great Will - I look forward to playing this!
Nice one!
^^ ditto mate, thanks for the effort, look forward to it.
Looks fun, can't wait to play it :)
Sounds good Will. Personally, I'd like to see more missions on the new Avgani/Afghan maps as not a huge fan of the stock one. A super doopa awesome one to fit these requirements by 6pm whould be appreciated, thank you. ;)
5pm Rico.
Don't let him slack.

is that the same mapfact/editor stuff i should already have?

17-05-09, 13:07
Yeah it is doom, but you don't have the camo nets iirc.
@Rico I'm more than willing to make another mission for those maps but my ideas for it are so limited. On Avgani all you can really do is have it as a rebel city, not much else. And with afghan its the same kind of deal, not much you can do but cache hunt and kill Taliban leaders.
If you have an idea feel free to throw it at me and I'll see if i can get it to work, remember however that I'm not very good at this so great coding feats are beyond me.

All my missions because the old ones seem to be missing from the server as well. Could someone bung them on the server please?
Sounds like a good oppotunity for calling in either some CAS or sniping. Anyho me keeps thinking we should go in silent and deadly.
beautifull vilhelm, way better than mine, hope to test it sometime.

Damn I wish I still had ArmA installed & didn't have exams for the next 4 weeks ! :eek:
Only thing I could come up with on Afghan was a sort of compund clearing leading to capture of ringleader/ex-officer in the big compound at the north of the map ?
Just a shame I'm a crap mission maker :(

If you get your headset back I'll teach you banner?
@chargat You and I need to team up and make a mission mate. Set areas of the map and then just glue them together, summer project maybe?

Guys if you see a bug or have a problem with the mission please feel free to give me a shout and leave a post here.
If you've having a problem working out what to kill etc for an objective have a look on the notepad in the map screen and pick the tab 'Notes' at the top. In there is a break down of each objective.

I wouldnt trust him banner he told me he would teach me some basics in the editor for example setting up patrols and i still dont know how to do it
Mind you that was ages ago around the time i last played arma with you actualy.
On a serious note will from what i have thus far seen epic misson. :D
@vilhelm: I'm all up for that, allthough summer could be a tad tricky: I have a yearly trip to england, and dunno if you saw my age in the chatbox a few days back, but it doesn't help for organisation. On the other hand, I have a lot of spare time, and can get to it when you want, just PM me here someday, and I should be able to join you on TS for a chat. (try between 1800 and 2200)
@anyone who wants to learn the arts of mission making : I shall teach you with pleasure

Vilhelm your download for the editor is the wrong link. (Or I can't access the link -whatever-.) Here is one from Armaholic.

Feel free to edit it into your first post. (Tested it works for getting on the server.)
southern france
You don't sound French!
Où habitez-vous ? Je travaille pour une compagnie française et je visite la France régulièrement.
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi ce soir?
@epoch: South (sorry, but I'd rather not pinpoint). And yeah, I'm partly english.
@Katash: Non, merci.
It's a very nice mission Will, though I think you can add some more light armour to it maybe. Like a BRDM or a BMP at a few objectives or something.
Only shame is that it seems the ArmA engine has a hard time dealing with lots of AI on a big map so I got to keep my view distance down for a stable FPS.
As to one thing you might be able to do with Avgani is have it be the opening stages of the war in Iraq and fight the Iraqi army rather than just rebels or something. Just a thought.
I'd like to see a similar map on the cut-down version of the island - Full map + lots of units screws my FPS too.
Not played it through.. but i really enjoyed the small bit i did play. Great work.. and it runs ok for me.

it plays well for me.
BTW ACE 1.08 is out so i think we should update;)
Haven't updated myself yet. Waiting for the server to update first. Not making that mistake I am.

I just made it lol.
LoL Operation Kinetic was a great success thanks for your hard work Vil, much appreciated buddy. Keep the maps coming. Who wants to do a night map? Never done one and thought it might be a hoot lol

Operation Mongoose (http://www.flashpoint1985.com/cgi-bin/ikonboard311/ikonboard.cgi?;act=ST;f=67;t=77944) looks good
P.S Will if you do do a night mission, please include IR srobes.

That flashlight system looks rather nice ! Would provide a bit of a twist to a night mission ! :D
Shame I don't have my PC around, I'd probably have re-installed ArmA for that ! :')
Not sure if night mission will work, unless ACE 1.08 has fixed the NV goggles floating in-front of your face. Assuming it was an ACE issue.
When Bravo2Zero mission was at night it was unplayable due to this reason. Maybe it was a addon specifically for that mission that caused the problem.
Appears to be ok in Wills mission.
Just hopped onto see what its like at night and im well impressed lol...
Medic you've not seen the IR strobes yet, its a light that you wear on your uniform that flashes, gives off no visible light but through NV you can see it, helps FOF identification at night
There are also IR flares for battlefield illumination.
Appears to be ok in Wills mission.
Cool, must be a UK addon on the B2Z mission then, good.
Personally, i'd like us to host a mission like Domination or Evolution (ACE versions of course), with day/night cycles, where we can have some fun if you join alone or with a big group.
I like the option of recruiting AI when some backup is needed and all the other features missions like these provide. Changing missions & side missions, arty etc etc.
Sounds cool Tommy. Will you be completing the map with your Army of AI whilst we sleep, to save us the bother?
Nah i'll leave that for Katash :p
But epoch i do promise i wont get more points than you and spoil your fun. :rolleyes:
Is this T&T only?
I'll introduce myself when I get home lol.

Definatly not T&T only mate, if you want to join in just turn up on when we are playing arma and jump right on in :D
By turn up he means join our TS ArmA room and someone will give you the password.
Thanks for the info ill stay tuned for updates.
