(MEC) [SP / ARMA 2 CO] Cut the Power v1.5

[janat]

I've been making this mission for the mission editing contest. Unfortunately I don't have enough time to extensively test it myself, but you guys might want to have a look at it. This is the second mission I've published so far, with hopefully more to come.




Author: Janat

Version: 1.5

Required Addons: Arma 2 CO 1.60

Mission Description: Lead a USMC Force Recon squad through Russian occupied Chernarus in an attempt to sabotage a Russian power plant.

Features: A highly atmospheric covert ops infantry mission with multiple objectives like searching for a person and sabotaging a power plant. You can choose when and how to approach your objectives, as well as what weapons you use. Immersive stealth action.

Because this mission came third best in MEC 2011, I want to make it as polished as possible. In order to do that, I need your help with testing the mission to find all the bugs. Also, I'd appreciate your ideas on how to improve the mission.

Hey Janat first of all a big and hearty to OFPEC! Always glad to see new missions from new editors 
Unfortunately my browser has real problems with downloading from the mediafire site, however your mission file is small enough i.e. under 5mb that it can be attached directly to your first post.
If you modify your original post you will see the Additional Options link, just click that and use the attachment option to attach your mission file to the post.
Read the submission instructions for a more detailed guide.
Looking forward to testing your mission

Denz, get Firefox or Chrome next time (both works very well with all most popular upload websites) and your nightmares while accessing Mediafire will be past .

[Denz]

Thank you Inlesco  I can give the mission a test run now.
Yep I think a change of browser is needed.

[janat]

Thank you Inlesco for uploading the mission to MU, I added the link to first post. Also, I didn't know you could attach files to posts. The mission's been attached to first post. Looking forward to hearing some comments about the mission

Hey janat, welcome to OFPEC.

On your mission:

Overview

Overview and loading screen are both beautiful.

Briefing

Does contain a nice weapons selection, and some useful info. It is unclear, however, if Dr. Hladik is actually to be found at the C-130 or if not, where he could be.

Mission

Impossible. First of all, the landing waypoint leads me to gunpoint of russian guards, I have got a helo on the tail that makes survival a gamble of luck...and i finally beached close to this cape NW of the designated mission area.

Long march to Elektrozavodsk, where a whole load of enemies makes survival impossible. I get about as close as 100 meters to the C-130, still not eyes on it, and there are too many enemies at every corner. After about 15 retries I lost both count of them and will to try any further.

Suggestions

*Remove the helo
*Provide a benign landing zone
*Cut enemy numbers by 50%

[janat]

Thank you mathias for the feedback.

When I was playing the mission, I also felt that it was way too hard. It took a lot of saving and loading for me to complete it, and I took the easiest route there is. I have been very busy during this week, but did make some improvements to the mission. I cut the enemy numbers, and now the mission is not as difficult as it was while still providing a challenge. I also moved the landing zone, removed the helo and tweaked the missions a lot. I wrote some background story and added recon intel on enemy forces. I've attached the latest version to the first post.

[mathias_eichinger]

Feedback for version 1.1:

Briefing
The briefing has been updated, but I did not spot AT missiles in the weapons selection, which dragged the mission down for me quite a bit (more on that later).

Mission

This time the landing went smooth, and there were much less enemies in the town - just enough to keep you busy and cautious, which - together with the good choice of music - created a good tension which I enjoyed very much. Enemy patrols were not so much responding, however. They could be improved if you could somehow manage to have them react to non-silenced rifle fire, this would be a great realistic touch.

I managed to reach the C-130, discover Dr. Hladik, and reach the power station as well. Boy, was I relieved that you provided an action because I had forgotten to pack some satchels and a lone roving T72 killed my Saboteur. I could not finish this mission this time again because you had a Vodnik moving in to chase me and the way to the extraction point was steep, hilly terrain. I had no means of tank/car disposal, so I unnecessarily lost most of my squadmates and my life.

Conclusion

Nice, slightly challenging mission with a great mood, dragged down only by the lack of AT weaponry vs. OPFOR vehicles.

Recommendations

• Include AT weapons in the weapons selection

• Try to implement an enemy reaction depending on fired weapon type, the fired eventhandler could be a point to try, but I never tried it myself.

[Undeceived]

Hello Janat.
Thank you for this good mission! I really enjoyed it.

I enjoyed the cinematics and camera angles, good job there.
Nevertheless the intro scene was very dark and only here and there I could see something as the flashes of the storm came. If you want, you can use the command camUseNVG true;, which makes the scene to play in NVG mode.

Music was good, yes. Good that you picked the atmospheric tracks and not the revolver-jam-funky-rock'n'roll songs.

Other than that I saw many script errors. Note that I run the game with the start parameter -showScriptErrors, which is quite useful for mission editors.


Here are the screenshots of the errors and other things I noticed:

At the beginning of the intro scene:
http://img263.imageshack.us/img263/3420/arma2oa2011090215431219.jpg

Then a bit later (not sure if this is still the same error or another one...):
http://img202.imageshack.us/img202/1631/arma2oa2011090215434872.jpg

I saw this boat (?) at the beginning of the mission. Strange thing...
http://img692.imageshack.us/img692/7522/arma2oa2011090215554795k.jpg

This one I saw many times:
http://img707.imageshack.us/img707/3977/arma2oa2011090216002173.jpg

I sabotaged the power plant, but the action still was there. You should remove it for the player when he's done it (player removeaction actionname):
http://img40.imageshack.us/img40/6402/arma2oa2011090216310796.jpg

And then I often saw this last script error many times (always when a new group was spawned):
http://img11.imageshack.us/img11/8079/arma2oa2011090216353408.jpg

About this last one: Generally I would prefer units that are there since the beginning of the mission, but hey - I also used group spawns once.
Nevertheless you could make it a little bit more believeable, because it was quite noticeable when new groups spawned (especially in the evacuation to the castle!). I checked one direction in the forest and 10 seconds later suddenly there were Russians running around. The trick works once or twice but then the player gets it and the atmosphere suffers.
I would suggest you to spawn the groups further away at a bigger distance to the player and then send them to the player, instead of spawning them 100 meters away.
Maybe also a mix between groups that are spawned far away and patrols that are there since the beginning of the mission (with waypoints) could be a good solution.

All in all I found the mission to be easy, maybe one or two more vehicles that try to hunt down the player would be good. Yes, you could add AT weapons to the gear selection, as mathias suggests but on the other hand the player can also take RPGs from dead Russians (I did it this way and destroyed some vehicles).
But then, on the other other hand I think that the USMC has some AT weapons left for their special forces. It's up to you.


Good work, Janat! Good luck removing the (few) bugs.

[janat]

Thanks again for the feedback.

I didn't give AT weapons to player squad because I thought it would make the mission too easy. You can avoid the Vodniks somewhat easily as there are only two of them and their patrol route is quite long. They won't see you as long as you are a few hundred metres away from them and prone. If you feel like destroying them, just pick up RPGs from dead enemies. Although if the Vodniks notice you and you haven't picked up RPGs, it's pretty much a death sentence...

The script errors aren't critical and the mission works as it should, but it's always good to have the scripts running properly and without errors. I fixed all the script errors, but there's now a new error when spawning enemy patrols. I don't know if my scripts cause the new error, but the error message says it's in BIS group spawn function. I haven't seen any weird behavior because of this error.

There are two boats patrolling the sea near the port. Also, the sabotage action is now removed as soon as the player succesfully uses it.

Normally I wouldn't use spawning groups, but as this mission is very player-centric, I decided to use spawning patrols in the forests for performance reasons. I did make them spawn further away from player.

[janat]

As my mission ended up third best in the competition, I've decided to make it more polished. Additional testing is required, so if you want to help me make this mission the best it can be, please help me test it and give me so,e ideas on what to add/change/remove

To do:
- Full voice acting
- Bug testing

[savedbygrace]

Played on regular with 1.59 Arma2CO

Overview
In game images are always better IMO, but yours is slightly blurry and not very creative in selling your mission. The text could have been a bit more specific with the Area of Operation. Perhaps let the player know what city rather than state?

Intro
was dark with only the cycling lighthouse to show the scenes. This would have been great had the author used other various light sources to light the scenes such as the flick of a lighter, smoldering campfire, vehicle headlamps or dim light inside a tent. Otherwise, the scenes were not very interesting and much of the text was accompanied by darkness. The dialogue had a few grammatical errors but for the most part, read well. There was no background story hinted to at all and no character introductions. The players character was referred to as "player". Use the actual characters name or use player id to capture the users name.

Briefing
The gear selection is VERY limited with not enough ammo to equip all of the guys with full gear. Please take the time to add enough magazines to fill every mag slot for every team member for every weapon that you provide. That way the player retains complete control of his load out. The links work but there is no link to the insertion point. The intel photo of the our first contact was a good add.

------------------------

Mission
Starting in a boat, we are given the freedom to choose our landing point but we would have to avoid patrolling rafts. The intel was true to it's word since there were foot patrols roving around the city as well as the occasional vehicle. The AI were dumbed down a bit by not giving them nvg gear. This made the journey fun rather than frustrating since it leveled the detection field for me as compared to the AI. The first objective made sense but the chosen position for a crashed plane with no collateral damage was unbelievable. You could either move that plane to an open field or bring down a building or two that was in it's path. The next objective was also pretty easy so long as I maintained stealth and didn't go sprinting across the fields. The satchels were not needed for the sabotage objective but it made no matter. The distance to the evac point was perfect. Most mission designers put them way too close to the AO. This mission had it over 2000 meters away. There was opposition along the road if I stuck to it and avoidable if adhered to the wooded areas. So that aspect of the mission was done well. Unfortunately, there is no randomness at all in the objectives and the only way to enjoy replay ability would be to brave different routes through the city and it did not look as if the entire city was built to accommodate that sort of travel.

Outro
Was simple and hinted at further missions but did nothing to conclude a storyline. Two or three angles as the helo lifted off and descended toward the sea was not much of a conclusion.

Overall
The Intro needs to have some creative lighting sources to light the scenes that need to be lit. I agree with your choice to not use them as night vision tends to ruin the beauty of night scenes. But not being able to view scenes develop, is far worse.

Get the gear sorted.
 
The mission held on to immersion by using 2 man and vehicle patrols throughout the city and along the coast. When editors use whole squads for patrolling infantry, it just becomes unreal for casual patrols in controlled areas.

Sound would have really brought the level of immersion up more, but the suspense of what's around the corner held it's own.

The randomness of objectives suffered greatly in this one nor were they unique at all. But the absence of frustration against AI was a fantastic balance.

The Outro leaves the player wondering if the primary task actually helped the invasion force. Maybe add some creative wording or scenes to help draw a better conclusion? And yes, audio certainly provides a complete package.

In the future, I would advise the use of a stringtable for easier editing and more importantly, for those who are striving to help you correct grammar.

Try to add one or even two voices yourself. Then ask other members for some help. It's not a good practice to ask for voices from others and not at least attempt one on your own. This way, if they ever need a voice, you can return the favor. The sound of your voice only matters to you and any quality is better than nothing at all. Others will enjoy the extra effort for sure.

I look forward to seeing the improvements pal.

[Mad_Cheese]

Hey Janat,

Congrats for the 3rd place!

I just completed your mission and had a great time. Really nice atmosphere and suspense. Now I am by no means a good editor like the other guys here but I'll just bother you with some feedback anyways. 

I encountered enemy units only in the city and at the powerplant - they seemed a little 'tired'. They mostly only reacted if I was either 2m close or if one of their buddies had been hit. The naughty doctor kept ignoring my order to hold fire, somewhat tampering with my stealth operation since I had him grab an unsilenced weapon. Anyways, the AI did not decide to take action against him unless he hit one of their buddies. Another time I had an enemy soldier right in the middle of my squad. We looked at each other in mutual suprise.
And then i killed him
The high presence at the power plant still made the task very exciting.

I had the same scripterrors as Undeceived, the first one is just a missing ';' in line 96 of "alarm.sqf" (hint "alarm off")

The second one, also already mentioned, is in all of your different "spawnpatrol.sqf":

Code: [Select]

_ewp1 = setWaypointType "SENTRY";
(...)will work with

Code: [Select]

[EnemyGroup1, 1] setWaypointType "SENTRY";
(...)-> I don't understand why, but each time this error came up my fps dropped to 25 or even to 10 in the end. When I tested it in the editor the same happened. When it's fixed frames stay stable so that is the main reason why I decided to post despite my noobishness.

If I may make a further suggestion, you could make the player perform the repair animation for 10 seconds when the power generator is being sabotaged, just to give it a little edge.

[Wiki]

So, I've finished your mission, and here is my feedback:

Overview

Overview and loading screen are nice, but they don't really show the aim of the mission (to me).

Briefing

We've got all the needed intel. However, I didn't really understand if the Dr. was at the down C-130 or if i was supposed to look for him afterwards.
Weapons selection: it's a good thing, but more ammo would be good.

Mission

I found the mission quite easy:
after I landed, I killed 2 guys who were patrolling. Then I moved to the chopper and killed another 3 guys quickly. Once I had the location of the power station, I made my guys hop in a car, drove to the station, killed the 2 guys who were there and moved to extraction.


Outro

Nice outro video, but don't understand why the USMC does use the PMC chopper...

Conclusion

It's both quite realistic and non realistic:

+:
-4 men is enough for this kind of operation, and you can't really ask more to 4 guys in hostile country.
-atmosphere is good
-it's not a "4-guys-squad" against an army

but:
-I encountered only 7 guys: not enough ppl after the crash of an ennemy plane (like no guard around:  ) and same at the power station: only 2 guys there!!! It doesn't feel like it's an important objective...

However, I liked this mission which was well made, but I was expected something tougher.

Regards,
Wiki

[janat]

Thanks for suggestions and feedback   I've fixed all the scripts and the mission is now error-free. There's now more gear, and enough ammo for everyone (except that M24 is restricted to one person). Also, I added an animation to sabotage action. It isn't always fluid with all the weapon switching and stuff, but is in my opinion better than no animation at all. The A2 animation system is really lacking, as you can't really stop a playAction animation

I'm still working on making the AI a bit more responsive when BLUFOR shoots with unsilenced weapons with some success, but it's still far from perfect and I won't release the newest version yet.

We've got all the needed intel. However, I didn't really understand if the Dr. was at the down C-130 or if i was supposed to look for him afterwards.

In the intel it says Dr. has been seen a few minutes ago near the C-130. You don't know anything else about his location, so he's possibly still near it. I added a radio action so you can get his location marked on the map if you can't find him.

-I encountered only 7 guys: not enough ppl after the crash of an ennemy plane (like no guard around:  ) and same at the power station: only 2 guys there!!! It doesn't feel like it's an important objective...

There are at least 11 guys protecting the power facility, but most of them are patrolling around it. Maybe I should add one or two more standing around it. Anyway, as the country isn't at war yet and the city is supposed to be under their control, there's not a huge amount of troops in there.

Nice outro video, but don't understand why the USMC does use the PMC chopper...

They use it just because it's cool. Also, it's a Russian chopper and so is perfect for covert operations in Russian controlled territories  

[savedbygrace]

Try using the fired event handler attached to the player and his group that executes a script that first checks for a condition of distance to opfor units or presence within a trigger, which then exits the script or continues based on that condition. You can then change behavior, switch waypoints, call in reinforcements or whatever.

You can then change behavior, switch waypoints, call in reinforcements or whatever.

Thanks for the tip, I've got that part sorted now. It was a lot easier than I thought it would have been. AI behavior is now quite realistic and I'm happy with it. This version is almost complete now, all I need to do is that voice acting and voice editing. Will do those myself tomorrow, expect a new version very soon.

EDIT: I think I'll extend the intro and outro a bit to get a proper prologue and conclusion to the story. So the new version might not be finished so soon after all...

EDIT2: So, the mission's finally ready for deployment. I've attached the latest version to the first post, as always.

[savedbygrace]

Played version 1.2 with Arma2 CO on regular

Overview
I feel an image of the action in game without the night vision green may help to sell the mission better. Perhaps an explosion in the background or spotlight lighting up an alley with the team positioned at it's access point or a streetlamp illuminating the back drop as the team crosses the road. Otherwise, the overview is decent but as mentioned in my earlier post, lacks quality.

Intro
The leader and his dialogue was a bit much and a bit too fast. It sounded like a very quiet, run on sentence. You may consider breaking that sentence into two. The other scenes had fine camera angles but the timing had issues.

Briefing
Much better read. But you still fail to offer enough ammo for the G36.

Mission
Since I covered this quite well in the previous version, I won't waste a whole lot of time elaborating on my tactics. I did attempt this several ways though. I'll highlight the things that made me dislike the experience.

First, the revive script proved frustrating and yet beneficial in one way. It was frustrating because when I was shot, I would lie on my back squirming like a turtle while the AI cleared the threats, calculated their path finding and pretty much took their sweet time, getting to me. This feature should be reserved for multiplayer scenarios where human behavior compliments the feature. It was beneficial because it allowed me to help my team when they were shot. The only happy compromise I think we would be something like Clayman incorporated into his Zero mission. It was a bleeding script which allowed the player to continue to function until he either bled out from his neglect of tending the wound or perform first aid to stop the bleeding. in any case, the revive script is not very effective for SP scenarios where the player's team mates must calculate complex path finding to move through dense urban structures and objects. If you keep the revive, you may also consider placing the doctor under it when he joins the players group.

Second, the spotlights were fantastic for moving without night vision. But once you lowered your NV goggles, the cones of light would penetrate through objects and essentially cause the night vision to be blinding, even though the spotlight was on the opposite side of structures. You may want to consider either removing the spotlights, disabling the AI so that they remained focus on specific firing lanes or place them above the action in towers, on catwalks, elevated platforms, etc. so that the player can disable them with his rifle. Just a thought.

Third, the amount of lite armored vehicles may be too high for the player to effectively combat with his limited loadout. Aside from that, the AI teammates have no fear of them and do not know how to hide from them quickly so any engagement will turn into a blood bath.

Fourth, The amount of savegames you have placed are overkill and potentially ruin the mission because they may occur at the least opportune time, which it did for me in my last play test. I crested a hill after planting the explosive charge and was brought down by one of those many lite armored vehicles. My team was in a column right behind me and when I went down, the game saved at that moment. My team walked right into the firing lane of that waiting armor vehicle as they tried to medic me. I stopped there. All you have to do is add a repeating trigger which allows the player to save at his time of choosing.

The mission was still fun and not frustrating except for the revive and that one savegame that I just knew would happen some time or later.

[janat]

Thanks again for feedback.

The leader and his dialogue was a bit much and a bit too fast. It sounded like a very
quiet, run on sentence. You may consider breaking that sentence into two. The other
scenes had fine camera angles but the timing had issues.

Could you specify which parts of the intro had timing issues? I don't really see any no matter how many times I play the intro.

Much better read. But you still fail to offer enough ammo for the G36.

For some reason the game doesn't automatically add ammo to it, but it should be compatible with M4 ammo. And you have plenty of it. But I'll think about adding G36 ammo.

The Vodniks shouldn't be hard to blow up, if you grabbed AT weapons. But maybe two of them is too much, have to try replacing one with a UAZ...

[janat]

I finished version 1.3 of this mission. In my tests I found no issues. I'd like you to review this mission should you find no bugs or game stopping issues.

[SaOk]

I completed the 1.3 version. A nice mission with great cinema and polished looking overview / briefing / loadscreen. Noticed few small issues - voices are low voiced in intro and outro, outro ended without proper sound/picture fade out, briefing dont have ammo for MAAWS and M4A3's (without silencer) and music cut to next track when entering the city and when finishing the sabotage task.

Else nice action throught the mission. Not too hard or easy.

[janat]

Thanks for playing the mission!

I didn't notice low voices in intro and outro, I actually thought they were spot on, but maybe the levels will be considerably higher in the next version. I'm using headphones, maybe that's why I have no problem hearing the voices?

There is ammo for MAAWS (HEDP ammo). However, you may have to manually add it to your inventory. As for M4A3 ammo, you can still use silenced ammo in non-silenced weapon. But, maybe I should add normal ammo as well.

I'll see what I can do about other minor issues.

[SaOk]

I also play with headphones, but I have bad hearing. Currently I can barely hear the voices. Still I think the voices are low voiced when compared to ingame radios and other effects.

Looks like I failed to spot the HEDP ammo. No problem with that weapon then.

[Undeceived]

Janat, I also played this through (1.3) and didn't find any bug. Good work!

One thing however you could do: When the player uses the action to sabotage the power plant, remove the action immediately at this moment. Not after the animation is played. It could be that some players are not sure if the action was executed and might use the action again (don't know what happens then - apart from launching the sabotage script again).
So removing the action right away would make it clear.

Good job too with the spawning groups on the way to the evac point. Only once I think I caught a group that was pretty suspicious (I mean - suddenly it was very near). The other groups came and tried to attack from the distance. Which was pretty tenseful.

I didn't check the voices in the outro but I think that they were ok - for me at least.

Thanks!

[janat]

Undeceived, that's a good point. In version 1.4 the sabotage action gets removed as soon as player uses the action. Also, I took time to make sure spawning groups wouldn't be too obvious. Nice to hear it somewhat works



Version 1.4 is now ready, you can find the download link in the first post!

Changes from v1.3 to v1.4
- Added unsilenced M4A3 ammo
- Improved handling of music tracks
- Script improvements

[SaOk]

I found no problems with the 1.4 except the outro still ends with snap. You could make it more smooth with code like this:

Code: [Select]

titlecut ["","black out",4];
4 fadeMusic 0;
4 fadeSound 0;
sleep 4;
_camera cameraeffect ["terminate", "back"];
camdestroy _camera;
VarToEndTheCutscene=true;

The way to evac point is definitely nice. On the first try, hell broke loose in forest. Now on second try I followed road and suprised them standing at campfire. Good mission, I am ready to review this once you think the mission is ready.

[janat]

Great, now I just have to do some more tests to ensure it works at all times, in any condition. But there's this one thing bothering me...

I found no problems with the 1.4 except the outro still ends with snap. You could make
it more smooth with code like this

I have a similar code at the end of the outro, and every time I  play the outro in the editor it fades to black and stays black.  For four full seconds, and then the outro ends. The music fades out, too. Do you have any mods running  which could somehow conflict with the effects? Also, are you running some beta patch?

[schuler]

hello Janat been out of the game for years,, but what about ending with showcredits. i havnt played ur beta yet, or any others, yours looks pretty enticing
 

[SaOk]

Sorry, my mistake. The picture and music fade out good, but sound dosent. You need to have this code for it:

Code: [Select]

4 fadeSound 0;

[janat]

You're right. Fixed that in version 1.5, which is available for download. There isn't much new in 1.5, just fixed the outro and added a couple civilian cars. This version is the public release version, and I'd like you to review it. 

[SaOk]

Thanks, I will review this. Expect it ready in 1-3 weeks (I try to have it made soon).

[SaOk]

Review is ready and readable here:
