- MMA TV, MCC, LRR and support console screens selfadjust for any interface size, no more small displays
- Added systems for some missing ACE2 units (thanks to Shuravi-rnd)
- Added rearming configurations for ACE2 Su34s
- Added systems and rearming configs for Duala air units (except UFO)
- Added systems and rearming configs for PRACS air units
- Added systems for CWR demo air and land units
- Nuclear effects performance improved, no more visual problems when detonation happens in large cities
- RKLS STormShadow has GPS targeting again
- Fixed RAH66 Hellfire setup
- Added CWR units MMA setups (thanks to Shuravi-rnd)
- Added CCIP for Mi24 bombs as well as x2 Igla rearming config.
- Fixed mando_airsupport_code_ca was being called for airborne assault instead of mando_airsupport_code_pa
Some notes about MMA_XEH_AutoLaunch.pbo made by Kju:
If you have this and Extended Event Handlers it will try to self-initialize MMA in the following way:
- If the mission being played has not initialized MMA after few seconds and it is the server, it initializes MMA.
- If the mission being played has not initialized MMA after few seconds and it is a client, it initializes MMA only if the server has initialized it.
- If the server initialized it but you dont have MMA, you will see a notification every 10 seconds indicating that MMA is missing on your client.
When MMA is self initialized it checks for presence of FFAA and ACE to setup automatically their respective configurations.
Defunkt made a modification of the default BIS Javelin reticle that you can grab here (http://"http://www.ionwerks.net/mando_portables.zip")
The mando_portables.pbo enables a better (wider) reticle for the Javelin and replaces the default crosshair with more authentic targeting 'stadia', these changes can only be made with an addon where the core MMA suite can be addon or script-only hence it is packaged separately. It is especially recommended if your display resolution should result in part of the default reticle showing.
Credits:
Defunkt, aside from pretty good ideas, he provided sounds, the outstanding images of the RWRs for east and west planes and fine tuned all the PAAs present in the pack, he also modified Raptor6 MFD to include "NTSC" effect as well as some nice pp effects for older type cameras and MMA HUD customizations for portable launchers (Igla, Metis, Javelin, Stinger and Strela).
Raptor6, do you like the fantastic background of the TV systems? it is from him.
Deanosbeano and scars who provided some mando turret models usable for the Phalanx gun.
Cyborg11 for the ACE2 setups
Kju for MMA_XEH_AutoLaunch.pbo
Special thanks:
All these guys among others have been providing ideas and good testing along the life of this project:
Alex72, Crusader, Cyborg11, Kremator, Manzilla, Massimo, Rubberkite, Scars, Stiltman, Vengeance and ViperMaul.

Bravo! I will do my best to get some Arma2 testing in for ya.
-
Now that Gnat released his russian aircraft carrier it is time to see it in all its glory ;)
MMA Kuznetsov CV test mission <- Already included in new 2.4b2 pack.
This includes a prototype of Mando Gun for ArmA 2.
Here the Kuznetsov engages enemy planes and ships automatically.
-
New 2.4b2 available for download, check first post.
Changes in v2.4b2:
- In MP games, pilot might have control of some TV systems only if gunner is not human.
- If a BIS weapon is assigned to a HUD mode, this BIS weapon cannot be selected pressing "F" key.
- TV laser bomb models fixed, so they will not require anymore Mike's F16 ammo box (except for F16 systems).
- Most warheads of fired BIS missiles replaced by mando ones will keep its default power.
- Missile replacement now includes Gnat's submarines missiles and they fly with the correct flight profile.
- A10 has an extra TV system for the AGM65.
- PMC AH64 Apache setup added.
- Gnat's Kuznetsov carrier full setup with mando missiles and mando guns included (as easy as adding a new gamelogic near the carrier). Read mma_readmefirst.pdf for more info about usage of this new gamelogic.
- Mando Gun ArmA for ArmA2 integrated within Mando Missile, a turret object made by Deanosbeano included as example of mando gun usage. Read Mando Gun section in mma_readmefirst.pdf to get more info about usage and examples.
- MCC TV systems now have three different looks (old grayscale, not so old and no so grayscale and full color), the MCC TV MDF image has been modified to add NTSC effect (thanks to Defunkt).
- New mando_gun_arma.utes and mma_test_kuz.utes missions added.
- Ka52 gunners now has a helmet mounted display.
-
New 2.4b3 beta available for download, check first post.
Changes in 2.4b3:
•TV systems better adjusted for the "unsupported" small interface size graphics option, no more empty holes above and below the camera MFD area.
•TV systems also integrated with UAVs, you can activate the system from a commanding vehicle and then use the UAV weapons, camera to mark targets or just guide the path of the UAV. This works for both, BLUFOR UAV and OPFOR small one.
•Portable weapons HUD support (by default, Javelin, Igla, Metis, Stinger and Strela).
•Forward looking radar display integrated with HUD's of some planes (AV8B, C130J, B52, Su34, F16s and F35B). The radar displays contacts or locations in the radar scan area in front of the plane in a top-view like display.
•HUD systems customization options: Now all hud systems can be personalized at will using the info provided by the HUD's main core script. Good examples are the customizations made by Defunkt for all the portable weapons (Igla, Metis, Stinger, Strela and Javelin).
•New flight profile parameters for default Patriots (AI and MCC based), way more effective against hi flying fast SCUDs even during initial climb and final dive SCUD states.
•New reloading system for both, BIS weapons and virtual weapons and countermeasures.
•BIS default top radar can be blocked (with red semintransparent bars where friend and foe dots look) the same. The feature can be enabled by mission makers.
•All the remote capable TV MCCs now can lock on remote targets (no LOS check performed).
•Added setup for Mi28.
Defunkt made a modification of the default BIS Javelin reticle that you can grab here (http://"http://www.ionwerks.net/mando_portables.zip")
The mando_portables.pbo enables a better (wider) reticle for the Javelin and replaces the default crosshair with more authentic targeting 'stadia', these changes can only be made with an addon where the core MMA suite can be addon or script-only hence it is packaged separately. It is especially recommended if your display resolution should result in part of the default reticle showing.

Even though repeating myself - superb job Mandoble :good:
Preface:
First item: Do you have an issue tracker somewhere running? For such a complex project it would be certainly
very helpful. A forum is rather messy and OFPEC forum forcing you to one post makes the post huge, takes
long to load and preview broken. :weeping:
Second item: Is MM a single man coding project (on purpose)? In other words are you interested in others
to help out in the coding? If so, how should this be organized? Or do you prefer full control and people to
submit diffs or just suggestions?
Here is in-depth feedback, several questions and a few suggestions.
Lets start with the technical details.
Can you please explain the two gamelogic approach for the full init.
To me it seems one GL/script launch per functionality (full / gun / ship) doable.
(does full include gun and ship?)
There are two aspects you have to take into consideration with the start up from what I understand.
1) To avoid duplicate/multiple script execution.
2) Not to disable a customized MMA/MMS setup (maybe).
In addition you have to take into account MMA + MM in a mission running at the same.
To me it seems logical to have the MMS (script) version running, if both are active.
I did not look into the code itself so far - is this taken care yet?
It might be a good addition to allow to disable a MMS version running (and run the addon version instead).
So design wise it should not be that complicated to set it up to allow a XEH addon to initialize MM
automatically. The basic system could be:
1) XEH: preInit: call MMA (init+full) // should be a single script call - internally the call does both
// XEH PreInit should be guaranteed to be launched before init.sqf.
// The XEH addon sets the default configuration.
2) Next mission init.sqf - it may contain MMS call // might be good to spawn a separate script that does the
execution timing internally. Like wait a second.
3) If MMS present, the configuration should be used instead.
// If the scripts of the MMA or MMS should be used is a different consideration.
// So running both XEH MMA + MMS should be doable.
4) Optional: a version compare and hint to player if MMA older than MMS might be useful.
In other words it should be possible to have MM active via XEH addon in any mission.
This will help make MM used a lot more. At the same time MMS in a mission should work.
Even more it'd be great if people could set mission specific settings for the XEH MMA launch as well.
Like
a) always on.
b) always on and using mission specific setting
c) mission specific MM launch (and configuration)
Alright lets move on. Is there design limitation to reduce MM interface to normal IGUI?
The safeZone a2 thingy allows one to make dialogs fitting to any resolution - it is more work yes.
Yet once understood, it is rather easy to convert the static position and size values to relative.
A maybe related problem is that while you zoom in, the MM dialogs keep the size AND even more problematic
the logic adapts as well.
(http://www11.picfront.org/picture/NFlr3kfD/thb/0009.jpg) (http://www.picfront.org/d/NFlr3kfD/0009.jpg) (http://www11.picfront.org/picture/5jYtom8NuGz/thb/0008.jpg) (http://www.picfront.org/d/5jYtom8NuGz/0008.jpg)
First pic: Rather big circle resulting in a big lock area.
Second pic: If you zoom in, the circle GUI size remains the same. This means the effective lock area gets
far smaller.
The problem is that you might not detect, if one goes into optics/zooms in perfectly.
Checking the key input via key actions should work, yet you may not know which state your are in.
If you loose track, this would get messy (feature might be possible to reset the GUI to no zoom).
The other problem here is that in optics / zoom in most times the (outer) MM GUI elements no longer fit.
This might be annoying effort to figure out the right position for each vehicle - no zoom and zoomed in.
Sorry I give up for now. The edit and preview loading time kill me.
I will add the other tomorrow. :dry:
-
Thanks for your feedback Kju. MM was single man coding project, but now it is becomming better understood by some people. Good examples are the customized MMA huds made by Defunkt or configurations for ACE2 made by Cyborg11 (present in next release). MMA is a framework including some usage examples (HUDs, MCCs, TVs, automatic launchers, guns, etc), a mission designer may create his own systems using the framework, this was the spirit of this project when it become alive for OFPR years ago and it is still the same spirit now with A2. This also means Im always interested into others help and ideas, and I agree with you, a forum is not the best way to drive that kind of collaboration.
-
2.4B41 ready, check first post for download.
2.4B41 change log:
- fixed: MCC TV flickering effect gone.
- fixed: UH60S sonobuoys back.
- fixed: "Is mando missile present there?" hint without reason gone.
- Added: Lifting hud with camera added for several chopper classes.
- Added: HMD for AH1Z.
- Added: where is the other crew member looking at indicator for the AH64 monocle.
- Added: XEH auto-initialization addon.
- Added: SAM Site mission example using mando radar.
- Changed: All HUD is moved to layer 3 to avoid interferences with other default "Cut" commands.
Some notes about MMA_XEH_AutoLaunch.pbo made by Kju:
If you have this and Extended Event Handlers it will try to self-initialize MMA in the following way:
- If the mission being played has not initialized MMA after few seconds and it is the server, it initializes MMA.
- If the mission being played has not initialized MMA after few seconds and it is a client, it initializes MMA only if the server has initialized it.
- If the server initialized it but you dont have MMA, you will see a notification every 10 seconds indicating that MMA is missing on your client.
When MMA is self initialized it checks for presence of FFAA and ACE to setup automatically their respective configurations.
-
After updating to the latest version I get this message:
Warning Message: Script mando_missiles\mando_setup_ace.sqf not found
After loading ArmA2 without ACE2 it finds ffaa mod
Warning Message: Script mando_missiles\mando_setup_ffaa.sqf not found
I then tried my usual ACE2 config with other mods without mma and there was no error. So I'm sure it's not an error of one of the other mods.
I installed mma according to the manual, after deletion of the old version and demo missions copied the new stuff to the respective directories.
-
Quite weird, try removing the MMA_XEH_AutoLaunch.pbo.
-
removing the MMA_XEH_AutoLaunch.pbo solves the problem for me. What do I miss now?
I have no idea, what the problem is. With the mma version before, there was nothing. I use most actual ace2 addons. But this seems not to be the issue. I guess these missing *.sqf do not exist, do they?
-
might be you were self initiating MMA with MMA XEH, but without MMA addon.
-
By thinking about the meaning of your reply I came to the idea to search my arma2 directory for other mando_missiles.pbo. There was one in another directory, which I use for many different gameplay addons. I had never thought or remembered, that I once used this directory for mma. I made this to small down the number of directories/mods listed in my arma2 call but it has a made it difficult to keep track with installed versions as I see now.
After removing this old mando_missiles.pbo everything works fine with MMA_XEH_AutoLaunch.pbo activated again.
Thank you very much for your help. You are a great analytical talent! :clap:

Mando Missile ArmA 2.4Beta42 (http://www.ofpec.com/ed_depot/index.php?action=details&id=653&game=ArmA) is ready ;) Dont forget to read the online MMA readme (http://"http://www.telefonica.net/web2/mandoble/mma_readmefirst.html") for more info.
Changes in v2.4b42:
Important note: MMA_XEH_AutoLaunch.pbo has been moved to @mma_xeh folder, dont forget to remove the MMA_XEH_AutoLaunch.pbo that might be present in your current @mma folder. If you want to use the autolauch, execute ArmA2 with mod=@mma;@mma_xeh modifiers.
- Improved: MCC TV flickering and small jumps when lock/unlock gone.
- Fixed: mma_test_sam_site.utes mission initialization
- Added: LOAL for Hellfire MCC TV cameras.
- Added: Manual guidance (TV manual control) for Vkihrs MCC TVs.
- Fixed: Active Mando Guns (Phalanx) now are listed as radar emitting sources.
- Added: Eble's F4 Phantom setups for AIM7, AGM88 and CCIP for its free fall bombs for both, pilot and gunner.
- Added: SEAD mission with F4 supporting two AV8B groups vs enemy SAMs.
- Changed: MMA_XEH_AutoLaunch.pbo moved to @mma_xeh folder.
- Added: .version.txt file inside @mma and @mma_xeh folders containing the versions.
- Changed: Scoring system mechanism, now it waits more time before adding score (damaged planes taking too long to crash).
- Fixed: Radar and monocle sorting order and radar position, now visible with any interface size and resolution.
- Added: A new global array named mando_rearm_sources_classes containing all the classes of objects used as rearming sources.
- Added: enabled unlimited preemptive flares.
- Added: AI pilot's skill now translates into more efficiency using automatic flares.
-
Mando Missile ArmA 2.4Beta44 (http://www.ofpec.com/ed_depot/index.php?action=details&id=653&game=ArmA) is ready ;) Dont forget to read the online MMA readme (http://"http://www.telefonica.net/web2/mandoble/mma_readmefirst.html") for more info.
Changes in v2.4b44:
- Added: Gnat's Su33 systems.
- Added: Eble's F14 systems.
- Added: Helfire LOBL HUD Mode for ACE2 AH1Z Pilot's HMD.
- Added: mma_test_su33_addon.Chernarus mission.
Systems included:
Eble's F14 pilot's HUD:
- AIM-9
- AIM-54
- AGM-65
- AGM-65 GRND
- GBU-12 CCIP
- ECM
- Flares
- RWR
Eble's F14 pilot's MCC TVs:
- GBU-12 (if gunner is not player)
Eble's F14 gunner's MCC TVs:
- AGM-65 TV
- GBU-12 TV
- AIM-54 TV
Note that AIM54 has initial inertial guidance and quite a long range (depending on launcher speed > 54Km in A2), if fired outside its active radar range (3Km), it will climb and dive on the target. So countermeasures effectiveness will be greatly reduced. On the other hand, it has quite low capability for short range engagements unless the target is in front of the firing F14 and flying away while not maneouvering.
Gnat's Su33 pilot's HUD:
- R-73 AA
- R-27 AA (SARH)
- Kh.29 TV
- Kh.22
- Kh.22 Remote
- Kh.22 Ground
- FB 250 CCIP
- KB 500 CCIP
- ECM
- Flares
- RWR
Gnat's Su33 pilot's MCC TVs:
- Kh.29 TV
- Kh.22 TV (Remote)
- Kh.22 SEAD
- KB 500 LGB
Kh.22 has a very long range, it is also detectable by enemy radars (anti-missile missiles and anti-missile mando guns). It can be used in local, remote and SEAD (anti-radar) modes.
ATM, to be able to use Kh.22 config, you may rearm your plane near any MMA valid rearming point, select AS-4 configuration (R73+R27+3 Kitchen missiles).
-
Changes in v2.4b45:
- Added: Green mark in Javelin sight (use it as reference when aiming)
- Added: AGM-114L (HUD and TV) for ACE2 AH64D (radar guided, fire and forget)
- Added: Gnat's Su33 with MCC (pilot) for Kh22 (anti-radar, anti-ship, AG, REMOTE)
- Added: Eble's F14 with MCC (gunner) for AIM54 Phoenix (long range AA and anti-missile, inertial initial guidance)
- Added: Test mission with F14 vs cruise missiles.
- Added: Eble's F4 with MCC (gunner) for AIM7 Sparrow (dont use it in short range engagements)
- Added: Eble's F4 with MCC (gunner) for AGM88 Harm (anti-radar).
- Fixed: Vkirh and Tunguska missiles
- Fixed: Igla and Strella were able to follow BIS locked on targets
-

* Added: Mando Air Support Console and Mando Bombs allowing you to:
o Call for bomb runs using free fall bombs or SADARM attacks.
o Call for Close Air Support using free fall bombs or SADARM attacks.
o Call for gunships support (armed choppers by default).
o Call for airborne assaults with the transport chopper landing or dropping the troops in parachute.
o Call for infantry reinforcements (which will join the console user) with the transport chopper landing or dropping the troops in parachute.
o Call for cruise missile attack.

o Call for ammo supplies (dropped in chutes by helicopters).
o Call for vehicle supply (empty vehicles transported by choppers).
o Call for Combat Air Patrol to sweep the skies of the support marked area.
o Call for reconnaissance missions where the reconnaissance info will be transfered to the console map.
o Call for evacuation choppers.
o Call for laser guided strikes.
o Call for carpet bombing runs
* Added: mma_console_addon.Chernarus Air Support Console demo mission.
* Changed: Mando Turret object moved to a separate addon mando_phalanx.pbo, also included inside @mma folder (this should remove any warnings when loading with Duala map).
The new MMA Air Support Console is highly configurable using many global vars, check here the full list of available options and run included demo mission mma_console_addon.Chernarus which includes many console customizations inside my_console_setup.sqf.
-
just quick question in support console version - are the gunships unable to attack with guns i.e missles only as they don't seem to attack troops in the demo mission I tested only hard targets.
Demo was mma_console_addon
-
They can use the gun at will, in this case A2 AI engine decides where and when to use the guns. And yes, A2 gunners rarely use the guns against troops.
-
Hey man, thanks for the release. I set up a mission on Utes and I'm having a couple of problems. First, the carpet bomb code in the readme isn't working. I remember having the same problem in ArmA1 and someone posted a fixed version of that sample code. Second, when I would call for an ammo drop or reinforcements or anything involving a helicopter bringing something in, it wouldn't come in. It would spawn the aircraft and they would drop their troops or cargo where they spawned, which in this case was way out to sea, lol. Other than that it's the same awesome console as the one for ArmA.
-
monty67t, try the carpet bombing code in the demo mission, as readme use the MMA readme first (the old mando bombs readme is not valid any more for the A2 version).
In some cases, mostly for choppers comming from S sector to N, A2 AI cannot resolve paths and will not move. Nothing I can do about that (I tried many ways but no way), only fix might come from BIS fixing A2.
-
I used the example from the online mando missile manual and it worked fine. When I brought the helicopters in from another direction the worked fine. That is a wierd one, but thanks for the information.
-
I'm still having some trouble with the carpet bomb code. I used this one from the sample mission.
// CARPET BOMB CODE //
mando_airsupport_carpetcode =
{
private["_plane", "_targetpos", "_widx"];
_plane = _this select 0;
_targetpos = _this select 1;
while {(([getPos _plane select 0, getPos _plane select 1, 0] distance _targetpos) > 2000) && (alive _plane)} do
{
Sleep 1;
};
if (alive _plane) then
{
_widx = [_plane, "BombLauncher"] call mando_weaponindex;
for [{_i=0}, {_i<6}, {_i=_i+1}] do
{
_plane action ["useWeapon",_plane,driver _plane, _widx];
Sleep 0.4;
};
};
};
This is the error i get.
-
Does your plane have "BombLauncher" weapon? If not, change by the corresponding weapon using the bombs.
_widx = [_plane, "BombLauncher"] call mando_weaponindex;
-

Mando, awesome addon!
This thread seems short for the amount of stuff in the addon..! Where's the questions people have, or is this not the spot?
I'd like to ask, what's all the scripting in "units\attackers"? Like for your ACE example map mma_test_sys_ace_addon.utes, you call on some planes:
[_x, 0, ["Air"], 4, 300, 3500, 15, [6, 5, -3], 50, 0, [], false, false, true, true]exec"mando_missiles\units\attackers\mando_aim120_fighter.sqs";
Why? Does this make them more lethal? Shouldn't they be shooting Mando Missiles anyways? And why set this: "this setVariable ["mando_ecm_on", true, true]"?? Doesn't the AI use counter measures anyways, without setting? What do you mean by "enemy MMA AI"? Shouldn't the enemy shoot Mando Missiles anyways?
How come you don't mention setting "mando_nav_info"? I see how you use it, but is there like a map maker document that mentions all the secret cool stuff? I'd like to get the most out of your scripts... ;)
EDIT: I'm pouring through all the BIS forum posts.
-
Do you know the online help yet?
http://www.telefonica.net/web2/mandoble/mma_readme.htm
-
Doolittle, attackers folder has templates of mando_missiles\units\mando_missileattacker.sqf (http://www.terra.es/personal2/matias.s/mma_readme.htm#t14) usage. That script replaces any BIS AI missile related usage. If you want to see the "effects", run mma_test_sys_addon.utes demo mission and use the radio to activate MMA AI. And no, BIS units dont use ECM, that ECM affects only mando missiles, if you try to lock on a plane emitting ECM it will take longer to get the lock and the chances the lock gets broken are high. Also if you fire RADAR guided missiles against ECM emitting planes their guidance might become erratic, this is more evident if you fire SARH missiles like the Sparrow where you need to keep the target locked on until impact or miss. If you are the pilot of the plane and your plane has ECM, you can activate it pressing "R" (unless you changed the default MMA key mapping).

I am enjoying the MMA, but I have a small problem. People tell me that they can zoom in the little TV screen with the scroll wheel, after a missile is selected from the drop down window.
I do not have a scroll wheel. What can I do to get this functionality with MMA ? Can I use a joystick feature instead of scroll wheel ? Thanks.
-
I see, for some reason (too many things to implement here and there) I forgot to include also keys for zoom in/out with the TV systems, except these implemented for next release.
-
Now assume I wanted to add the LGB (Remote) HUD to other aircraft, how would I go about it?
-
To which plane? The current one for AV8B is there for testing purposes, if no issues are found then this remote hud mode will be added to A10, F35 and might be others.
-
Was thinking specifically Eble's F14.
-
As well as F15E. As said, if not issues are found with the new LGB remote hud, I'll introduce it for the planes already supported by MMA.
-
I ported a dogfight FFA from the OA Dogfighters and added the mando module. The module is working correctly, but the players can't Lock eachothers. I tried "player addRating -999999;", but it doesn't work. :(
Please help me.

Post Removed as i worked out what i wanted to know. :good:
-
Mandoble I am bit confused. :blink:
This is for a2 only, right?
Or can it be used for OA/CO too.
If not, any plans to move it over? *pray* :good:
-
@kju. Im using A2OA Combined Operations and Mando Missile works great, no problems as far as ive been able to tell. Just make sure that you set your interface size in the video options menu to normal. Cheers.
PartyHead.
-
This works with A2 or with A2 + OA, it doesnt work with OA alone.
-
Thanks for the heads up. :good:
As we are migrating to CO in the near future from OA, I will try it. :)
-
In fact, the only new feature that is available only for OA is the FLIR, if OA is detected MMA will use OA FLIRs for TV systems.

I've been thinking about this for a while, but held off from asking, so I shall ask now:
For CAS and Bomb Runs, you have sadarms and freefall bombs.
Would it be possible to have a rocket attack via plane, such as an A10 firing maybe 10 rockets and flying off?
Just a thought to add.
Luke
-
You can create such kind of attacks using the carpet bombing custom script, instead of using the bomb launcher, you can force the plane to fire the rockets. Problem is that more than probably the pilot will not be aiming with the nose of the plane to anything.

Hi,
I think Mando Missiles is no longer compatible with ACE as far as the Javelin missile is concerned. There has been a recent change in ACE for the Javelin, now though the Mando Missile scripts lock onto the target perfectly as before, the hits rates have dropped drastically and from my tests now appear to be:
Moving vehicle, top attack = 20%
Moving vehicle, direct attack = 20%
Static/ground target = 0%
Just hope you can cure this as I rely on Mando Missiles for man portable missile systems.
Cheers
Keith

Hi Mandoable,
First off, Great script suite. Love using OA with no addons. I have a question though. When using your test mission (\mma_script_suite.utes) I change the pilot to a Javelin guy to check out the top down weapon guidance. Only problem i seem to be facing is that the weapon does not track. The bog standard Javelin tracks fine but using the demo mission provided in 2.4b102 the missile does not hit the target. As I am not as fluent at scripting as you are I was wondering if you could investigate for your next script based release?
Cheers mate and thank you for your years of OFP / Arma / Arma 2 / OA creative thinking.
OzDM

I noticed that when I compile the "mma_script_suite.utes" demo included in the script version folder, the resulting PBO will be just over 5MB. I'd prefer to use the script version but since all I really want out of it is the air support system (console/dialog, etc.), I know there will be fair amount of stuff that, in this case, remains completely unused.
I'm aware of firefly2442's ArmaScriptTrace tool but even assuming that worked exactly as advertised (and it looks like it's been a while since there've been any updates for it), it's my understanding that the tool would still show dependencies that aren't being used since the default script setup initializes everything. I'm not sure what specifically is needed if all I want to do is initialize the air support console at the start of the mission. It'd be nice if I could trim out the unneeded files as that'd mean a much smaller PBO...and presumably a faster/lighter load in-game.
With that in mind, I'm wondering if there's a simpler way to determine the dependencies for Mando Missiles' air support console. Any and all constructive suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

hey there mando, great mod, been a fan of your work for a long time now.
but to the point, is there ANY WAY at ALL, to use your reload/loadout "truck" with out the having load everything else ...... dont get me wrong :confused: i have no problems figuring out your mod, but i do have some --CENSORED-- for clan members "in cant figure out this..... i cant figure out that" and currently your's is the best loadoutselector out there...... yes there is F2F's A.L.S.S. but that does not give all the different loadouts with glt missilebox. is there anyway you can help ??
ill be most thankfull
Regards EvilHomer75

Howdy, first off, thank you for your time ion putting this mod together. I do however have a problem and could use your help.
I have Arma 2, CO, BAF, PMC, and ACR. I am using Steam. I put all my mod folders in the Arma 2 folder with the @ prefix per the recommendations. I recently tried adding the mando missiles mod. I have copied the missions to the missions folder. I have placed the @mma folder and @mma_xeh folder into the Arma2 folder and the key into the key folder. When I try to start either Arma 2 or OA, I get a pop-up window that reads:
'Include file mando_missiles\mando_missile.h not found'
and then the game does not load.
I have found the file in the mando_missiles folder inside the mma_script_suite.utes folder. I have searched multiple forums but this seems to be the place to go for help. Help would be appreciated. Thanks!
-
Hey Brock, welcome to OFPEC!
"Include" is a command located in the description file.
Have you read the Readme (http://www.telefonica.net/web2/mandoble/mma_readmefirst.html#tg1) where it explains how to setup your Description.ext file for your mission? It appears that you have to add the #Include line to the file.
-
Hi there. Thank you for the reply. We may have to take this Barney style because I'm not really tracking here. I am not creating a mission or anything. I got this error just from adding the basic @mma folder and key to arma2. I need the mando missiles mod for some of the other mods I am using. Once I added the mando mod (the same way I added the other mods) I got the error mentioned above. Just trying to play the game after adding this mod gave me that error when I try to play the game now. Thanks for your help btw.
-
No problem pal. Have you entered the proper mod call into the executable that you are double clicking to start the game?
-mod=@mma;@mma_xeh
-
steam took away the option to start combined ops so you no longer enter the mods that way. they are in the expansions menu upon start up and after the first time you enable them they stay on. no more long executable mod string.
update: when I remove the @mma and @mma_xeh folders along with the Benny Edition 2.07 folder, I can get arma to work. Is there an issue with the 2 working together?
-
There is always that issue but I could not for certainty declare one or the other in order. I can only advise you to try Mandos missiles without the Benny mod and/or vice versa and see if that resolves the conflict. I'm sorry I can't be of more help to you.
