Zargabad - city life

[smilodon]

I know we've been discussing town fighting in the forums and there's been much discussion about returns to ArmA II or using various mods. Not wanting to rehash old conversations but still looking for a way to get more urban fighting into the mix (which I'm assuming everyone would like to see, and shout if I'm wrong) are there any maps that specifically take place in the city? I know Barnyard had us fighting through the fields near Zargabad, does it continue on into the city itself?  Also I remember one of Benny's night op missions was based there. But do any of our map guru's know of full missions that are set in the city? Are there any that we could adapt for our needs? And finally how tough is it to design missions and would I be setting myself up for a jumbo gaming belly flop if I tried to learn how to do it myself?

Cheers

Smilo we dont know where Barnyard goes on to but it is more than likely to.  

Benny said when he has some more time he will try and get us a city mission running so we are working on it.  As for desging missions why not have a try mate.  I am sure you would be able to pick it up and Benny and Lib and OB should be able to give some pointers.

Hope that helps mate.

Missions are pretty easy to do, it just gets boring if you want to get really into it. Creating a 'go here and kill/clear/destroy' it's pretty simple.

The armaholic downloads are good to scour for zargabad maps. The one on there will continue into the city, but I need to fix the respawn which I'll do eventually. If you catch me on a PM and let me know roughly what you want I can put it together and you can tweak it?

Cheers, lets see how barnyard flies. So far I've built a Bluefor base outside Zargabad, and am filling the town up with some civilians and vehicles. I'm not sure how to set up player slots though.

Send me your private email, I'll send you a template and all the scripts, it's easier.

The best advice Lib gave me, apart from the one about Chlamydia, was to build the mission and objectives with no baddies and no real background, then once it works for tasks and markers add the niceties.

I like the look of this script in case we get in trouble ? http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=13031
This template is for prebuilt for coop missions  http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=11302

The template takes the sting out of Norrins script, have a look at General Carvers revive. On top of that you probably want Kroznky UPS, Place in building, retreat to building, vehicle respawn...
