MCC Thread

Spirit and Shay - is it appropriate to make this thread a viable place to add system changes as well ?

e.g. I noticed that the "environment controls" are quite binary.

There is the ability to change the time of day etc, and the weather can be set, but could that be adapted to give more granularity.

For example. If I set cloudy it starts to rain.

Can we not break that out more. so something like

Cloud level

Rain level - obviously that would involve more cloud (but high cloud doesn't always mean rain, hope that makes sense)

Bloody good video by the way Shay... love the graphics... Can't watch the whole thing at work, but will sit down with a coffee over the weekend and study properly.

SJ

We're ready to go with that Spirit - we have the extra license needed.

We did not manage to find a mission where it worked yet... Jamie is looking on it, but I know this week he has a lot on the RL plate - but I know it's on his extensive TODO list.

How does MCC work with HC then ? I'm interested to know how it is setup ?

SJ

Re Rain... HA HA !!! you get it too - I know you do.

Ok Shay, I tested the Template. 

I couldn't get it to load up on the server for some reason - it just hangs after the player slot lobby. I need Jamie to tell me what the Server error message is as I can't see it.

(this is tested by using the #missions command as per last time.)

I've tried on my PC as a local mission and it works fine

All units look great - these are my comments

Mission template is named wrong "3bc" instead of "3CB"

Medic - only one attached to hotel ? is that enough ? Do we need one more in at least one of the sections ?

Rifleman Scope - you've used the SUSAT which comes with the L85 gun mod. This is a 3D scope and I think could cause some players (i.e. those with Track IR) some problems. Can we replace that with the HAMR or the ARCO - std A3 scopes.

Alternatively the Brits are actually using the ACOGs now.. so use the

this addPrimaryWeaponItem 'optic_mas_acog_rd';

Marksman - you used the DMS scope, which is a great model, but I don't think gives us quite the range I know the Sharpshooters look for. Can we replace with the 
 
this addPrimaryWeaponItem 'optic_mas_zeiss';

Also forgot to check, but can we also just make sure  

this addPrimaryWeaponItem 'TMR_acc_bipod';

is added to all inits ?

I can make these changes if you want, but conscious it's your template.

SJ

How do you restrict MCC to admin only ?

Cheers

SJ

reason I'm asking Spirit is I tried it on the public - idea being to add some spice to the missions, etc, drop down F18's when some pubbie had crashed them etc.

I.e. strictly GamesMaster no cheating.

But I didn't realise that all players have access which is obviously a bad idea !

SJ

Ok let us know - I've taken it off for the moment to prevent idiots  - but it would be good to have it available for admins when and if we needed to tweak something in mission.

SJ

That would be great guys - one less thing to programme into the mission file itself...

SJ

OH and i was really enjoying pounding targets with the AC130 Gunship module as part of the MCC console, but there way no actual object or aircraft circling that I could see ?

Well I found this mod - http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=21605
I've played around with it, and it's cool - still being worked on so the cockpit textures leave a little to be desired, but externally and functionally it's really cool

SJ

True - makes sense

Bravo Shay !! good man..



Yeah I can load it later if you want to give it a go on the Private ?
