Yes. Look at the Comments here on page 2. I listed the file-paths for each mission.

One question: Is there a way to make it possible to choose which mission the group wants to complete? Like Opex does, for example.

@R. Von Quest. Thank you for all your hard work on this mod. All your work allow me to convert this into a campaign scenario. I used your code for the base, a little bit of SOCOM, OPCOM, AND TRGM2. It is now the perfect scenario and mission for me. Thnaks so much.

@R. Von Quest. Thank you for responding. I figured that out eventually, lol. I just re-wrote the code to use random, already placed buildings in the map.

You need to enter the Classname of the Building you want to use. You either misspelled it, or it doesn't exist on the map.

I'm getting all kinds of errors on the Hostage POW mission and it automatically fails.
Something about undefined expression: _hbdg, _bdg, _tloc

UPDATE - fixed CLEAR MINES Mission, the Watermines were not looking for water, and crashing/glitching out on land.

@yeahursick
It spawns Single Units as Guards, randomly, from the list you enter into the Module. You can place all units down in a group, then mouse-drag over them to select them all. Then right-click on one of them (all should be highlighted), then select Log >> Log Classes to Clipboard .

Then Open the Module, click on the section to enter the classnames, and use CTRL + V to paste them into that section.

Most are single units, and not full squads. There is a .sqf Entry Option as well to customize it further for unlimited options if you are comfortable with scripting.

There are tool-tip popups for each entry, that has more info and details.

does it just spawn random enemy and allow me to customize my squad, or is all that done in the editor

Can someone make a video explaining how to use this seems fire and opcom pissing me off

Awesome man, thank you, copied those down! So would I be able to stick those in the custom sqf line for the appropriate task and use the BIS_fnc_taskSetDescription in the file, or would it require more than that? Sorry, not too familiar with this scripting so any pointers are appreciated, since you're very knowledgeable!

Sorta. You'd have to just setup your own script, with custom briefing, then point to the file-path of the mission you wanted to run.

execVM "zdz_socom\System\MISSION\AMBUSH\mission_ambush.sqf";
execVM "zdz_socom\System\MISSION\ATTACK\mission_attack.sqf";
execVM "zdz_socom\System\MISSION\CLEARMINES\mission_clearmines.sqf";

Hi RVQ, absolutely love your mods and been using them for a while to create scenarios, including the latest one that I put up on the workshop! Was wondering: is there a way to create custom descriptions for the different tasks, perhaps by utilising the custom sqf files? If so, what script would I need to run in it? Just hoping it's possible cos it'd be really nice to add mission-specific descriptions for these to add a bit more immersion.

1) You must clear all enemy (500m radius). 2) You didn't play as BLUFOR (both Green and Red are enemy in this project - guessing this is why). 3) or you didn't wait long enough for it to register (10+ second delay between scans).

hi RVQ
i tested a simple clear task, it started but once I killed all the enemies the CLEAR task didn't complete

Oh wow, what a workflow to get it right. So temperamental right!

Can't thank you enough.. Can't wait to get into those mission params and get some serious game play going. Once we're done, you going to have to come have a game with us ok. We'd love to have you on server for a night.

Thanks again for hanging in there on this. It's been broken a while so I'd expect a whole new resurgence in people using this mod on dedicated servers.

my mate has said we need to check out your other stuff too, should all fit nicely together. cheers Tama

To fix... made New Keys, left the Private Key in the Arma Tools DSSignFile Directory, then Pack the .pbos with Official Arma Tools Addon Builder, with ONLY the "Clear Temp Folder" checked (1 out of 3). Did NOT use the sign-at-the-same-time option.

Then load up DSUtils (DSSignFile) to sign the new .pbos that were just packed. Then you can cut/paste those files into your finished export workflow.

Any tiny deviation, options, or setup, would break it in some way.

Cool Beans. I'll change my workflow then for all projects. I was using old 3rd party software to pack, (100x quicker) but Arma Tools to sign. 2 gaming PCs and a third Dev Laptop. 3 copies of the game, and 3 Steam accounts.

NAILED IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Whoo.. Thank you so much R. Von Quest for you patience and support. It's all working perfectly

UPDATE - Okay, try it now.....

OMG this thing wants to slowly kill you, I can see it now!! So all the files are obviously there but now the signature error is back.. I feel awful, you won't even be using this version your fixing for us.. Let's throw it in the too hard basket and you can get on with your life. I'm sorry to have put you through all this muck around mate. Thank you so much for trying everything to sort it for us .... Tama

UPDATE - Should be good to go. Fingers crossed... Yeah, weird, it was only the HOGSTOOTH Folder and nothing else.

This is getting ridiculous. Arma Tools sucks. If I pack and sign at the same time with official Arma Tools it fixes the signature, but breaks the file structure. I'll try again....

Whooo! The signature worked and the server accepts the signed mod as signed and in tact.

The only issue looks to be, the new version of the mod is missing a bunch of files in the 'zdz_socom\System\MISSION folder including "mission_activate.sqf' and most of the mission folders except for HOGSTOOTH, it's there

we're close now that the signing workflow you used worked.. :)

UPDATE - Okay, give her a whirl. Lets see if this works.

Hey there R. Von and thanks for looking at this. I tried the update and still get the verification error when that's turned on in the server. I had everything cross that it would work.. When I turn verify signature off on the server, the mod loads and runs fine..
I really appreciate you looking at this, as I know you only use this mod under your groups LAN scenario. Hopefully the other workflow works, otherwise....

UPDATE - New Private and Public Keys, with new Win11 OS, and re-signed this project. Give that a try. If that doesn't work I have another workflow to try.

https://forums.bohemia.net/forums/topic/174126-dear-mod-makers-sign-your-mods-its-easy/
These are the three steps ensuring a mod can be used on a server that's verifying mod integrity. I feel awful pressing you on this and am only doing it because it doesn't work.. The last thing I want to do is antagonise you as we love your mod and it's exactly one of the best things around in ARMA 3 today! I'll check here if there's any update on this but I promise I won't push any further on this point. Thanks and sorry :( :)

Again, it is signed... If you look in the Steam Folder that gets downloaded when subscribe, you see the files are signed, and also has the Public Server Key File (VonQuest.bikey) in the Keys Folder for you to extract for the setup in your server.

are you ok for me to digitally sign it and upload it to Steam as SOCOM by R Von Quest? Full credit etc to you as author and described it as the digitally signed version of your mod? Cheers

I don't know either. I don't know anything about server stuff. We only play LAN.

thanks mate.. I noticed there was a new version today. We uploaded it and it still does have the signature verification error. I'm not sure what the others are doing,weird right? Thinking maybe the DSCheckSignatures process, I don't know mate, wish I could help you.. I add you as a friend, to take offline conversation if you like?

@ana_alalawi
Place the Module, then set your settings. Tutorial Download Link above. Did you not read the info above? Instructions are above in the description.

@Tama
I'll look into it, and upload it again.

how do i use the mission generator?

hey thanks for your quick reply. I'm positive this is the best mission generator around for ARMA 3! I can see you only built this for you and your team as a starting point and then released it to the public, really nice of you (even though that comes with so many headaches you don't need :))
With that problem I mentioned, it looks like the updated mod wasn't signed? I'd have to turn off verifySignatures to run it on the server but then, omg my crew would join with all sort of dumb mods , I'm sure you can imagine.
I can see so many questions have been asked from you and I don;t want to add to the headaches.. Could you possibly look to see if the latest version is signed, I understand if you're over it though and I won't bother on this anymore.. Thanks again for what you've built and shared, it's a work of art mod!!

Thanks. Not sure. The addon is signed, and the key is included in keys folder when you download it.

Hi mate, thanks so much for all you do. We're getting a signature error on our server when trying to run S.O.C.O.M. Error Files "c:\Program Files.............\S.O.C.O.M -- Mission Gerator\addons\zdz_socom.pbo" are not signed by a key accepted by this server. To play on this server, remove listed files or install additional accepted keys

it says connection failed? i've added the VQI_socom laptop and the init addon, "This is add action etcc.. idk whats wrong

How would they know what to recover?... No. You'd have to blackout the screen or something, to hide the Text for a minute or something. Not without changing the code.

Possible hotfix, if you can do scripting, would be to spam the Hint and Systemchat, right after Mission Selection to hide them. Any Hint text replaces the one before as the game can only show one at a time. And Systemchat shows I think 6. So you'd have to run like 7.

@R. Von Quest, Is there a way to hide what the recover objective is? Say i want it to be a blackfish but i dont want it to tell them thats what it is

Just set them to 100%... If each are only 10% then there's a 90% of NOT being selected. The total doesn't need to add up to 100. Its a separate roll for each mission, to add to the Master List for selection. Then it picks one at random.

It was designed as a sliding scale for an old gamemode (unreleased) we used to play. It also adds more variety for mission/game design. Just set the ones you want OFF to 0, and the ones you want ON to 100.

I have an issue, I selected 10 missions and fill out the details, each one works on its own but with all 10 at 10% chance i get a failure to connect. Am i missing something? (probably).

You have to Turn ON each of the missions in the form of a probability (0-100%). It should be the very first option setting for each one. Also, each mission can only be selected once per game. Then you'd have to re-boot/re-start to play them again.

i just stared using the mod. but when i chose to create a mission, it says connection failed (try again)

Do you know what File specifically? There are 13 files for that mission.

Brother, this is an awesome mod. i was configuring the POW rescue mission, always fails after creation. Something about some error on line 28 and 36. Tried everything, can t get it to work. Others work well. Any help would appreciate it. Thx

Hmm Ok thanks for the response. Guess I need to dig down through other Mods. Cheers!

No. Only spawns what you enter into the Module settings. Nothing extra.

Really appreciative of your work on this fantastic Mod many thanks! Trying to track something down. Can you advise if this Mod in anyway can spawn VBIED's. I ask as I recently expanded the missions I am generating with this MOD and am suddenly getting VBIED's spawning that are not desired for the scenario. Does this mod do that maybe with LR Patrol mission or other?
