[shark-attack]

Hi
I have remade my first mission for ARMA 3.
I would be eternally gratefull if you guys could give it a go sometime and  give me some feedback.
All seems to be working as it should during testing on my server but most of that was done alone.
                                                      Best wishes guys.

Great! Mission sounds awesome. Will test as soon as possible.

If AI is disabled, where do JIP players spawn?

Quote:*Disabled AI for co op version. [jip is still possible as group respawn is set]

Group/side respawn needs AI to spawn into.

Matt was able to join  in progress during testing.
He simply selected a unit from the lobby after the mission had started and joined in.
respawn = group didnt present an issue.

When respawn = none he joined as a bird.

Not a true JIP but players can occupy the slots from the lobby and enter the mission at the mission start point  if they arrive late.  I could be wrong but it seemed to be that way when testing.

Respawn = Group allows you to spawn into an empty slot with AI disabled, anything else (like respawn side) doesn't. This has a couple of downsides, like

- Respawn can only be done within the group. If the group is full, you need to disconnect and reconnect to the other group, which sometimes spawns you as a bird.
- You will respawn at the initial position of the disabled AI, which typically means at the very start. How you link up with the rest of your team is left to you, and frankly, may prove impossible.
- This type of respawn can cause trouble especially with custom loadouts.

Bottom line, I don't see the purpose of disabling AI. It only causes issues, and the admin can always disable AI if they don't want to handle them. I simply wouldn't do it.

OK
I will re enable the AI, like you say it can be left to the admin to decide on that.
thanks for the input, recieved some negative feedback about the AI from the beta version of this mission mainly from those playing it in SP mode. Will update the mission file...

Thanks again !

Have enabled AI and updated the mission file.
Thanks again.

Uploaded! Thanks Shark. We will play it the first chance we get (which means the first time player count drops to 8).
