Hetman War Stories: Multiplayer - Altis

Description
Hetman War Stories: Multiplayer

To you I present Hetman War Stories: Multiplayer!
It took a lot of time and 2 complete re-writes, but here it is.

This mission had always been a dream of mine since the first time I played the original. Everytime HWS created an awesome battle scenario, I wished I could have shared it with friends. I also wished for it to be able to be ran on a dedicated server to have better performance.
This is all possible now!

The Whole Map Mode is currently unsupported as I am working on it (Going crazy....)
You are allowed to port to other maps for personal and friend use but please do not re-upload.
Reason for that is because this scenario is WiP and I do not want outdated ports everywhere.

In order to port, get the .pbo file from \Documents\Arma 3 - Other Profiles\YOUR PROFILE NAME\Saved\steamMPMission and simply rename the file to the .mapname (.tanoa, .malden .enoch, etc.)
You do not need to open it in the editor. Be advised that doing it this way will delete the lobby objects. The mission will work as intended regardless. Once you have renamed it, place it in you MPMissions folder in the ArmA 3 root directory.

Please see the discussions tab for bug reports and suggestions!

This mission is NOT JiP Compatible. Make sure all the players have joined before starting the scenario

I WILL NOT PROVIDE SUPPORT FOR MODDED VERSION, TEST TO SEE IF THE ISSUE IS THERE ON VANILLA!

I have created and added some realism features like the tactical movement script. Check out the discussions tab for more information on those!

Thanks Lector, I was talking about AI units.
Lector 17 Sep @ 2:27am 
VERY interesting mission.
Thank you!
But... mission for 20 or 100+ players WITHOUT Join In Progress?
Is it possible to fix this?
Atlas  [author] 10 Sep @ 6:27pm 
No need for HAL, this scenario is standalone
Yuri Prime 10 Sep @ 10:44am 
Do I need HAL installed?

Love this and play it on my personal dedicated server. Would you please add arsenal within the start? Just started playing so maybe I've missed it somewhere; for now I just use personal arsenal, so it's it's not so bad. Also, maybe add a script on init that teleports the player to ground level because if I make a simple port to Takistan with Ace mod I just fall and die.

Otherwise, this is one of the best dynamic mission generator I've seen! Would love to see a campaign mode that doesn't involve restarting the mission (like TRGM2), and some roleplay side missions for retrieving casualties, vehicles, or DUWS-style ops (in-mission)

Great job and one love. :steamthumbsup:

Thanks WebKnight, 1.2.1 Hotfix released for the issues below.
WebKnight 7 Jul @ 6:02pm 
Plus you can disable ability to use vanilla save and exit, it is breaking the mission
Use this command: enableSaving [false, false];
Put it into an init or initPlayerLocal file
WebKnight 7 Jul @ 6:00pm 
Plus sometimes when we use the laptop and try to get into combat we have an infinite black screen.
WebKnight 7 Jul @ 5:53pm 
Good job on the updated, everything works well for the most part. The main issue right now is that whenever i request a new role, it works for me but not for other players. Their kit is changing, but they remain on the same position. Tested with both vanilla and some other mods that might've caused that.
