Steam Community :: HCC - High Command Converter 1.5.5

Hatsune Miku Jul 20 @ 6:51pm

Having issues with zeus while ACE and HCC are loaded. The modules that get added to zeus by ACE appear to be prevented from loading. This also seems to break RHS categories from appearing in the unit / group categories of Zeus' GUI.

Also, down the road, will you add more waypoint options like "search building" and "clear mines" options for the units?

Igitur [author] Jul 7 @ 7:20am

I cant replicate. No problem with Zeus, Achilles or MCC on my end.

Alpha30xyz Jul 4 @ 7:41am

So wierd thing, if you don't add the modules that comes with this mod, zeus acts all funny and prevents some addons from loading. But if you have both subordinate and commander modules placed....all zeus addons work....

Lawman Jun 4 @ 7:50am

Thanks Igitur - really useful mod that I pretty much don't play without either.
I'd donate if I had any money :(

Arm§trong May 29 @ 3:55pm

I love this mod! It has offically been added to my "I won't play this game with out it" list.

Igitur [author] May 26 @ 7:55am

Version 1.5.5 - Sling loading.

Added :
6-1-5 : Sling load cargo : the command returns a list of the 10 nearest sling loadable objects in a 500 m sphere and picks up the selected one.
6-1-6 : Drop off cargo -> 1. At position : heli drops off at its current position. ~2. Coordinates : click on the map and drop off at coordinates.
6-1-7 : Cancel action : cancels current action (landing, sling loading, dropping).

I'm preparing for a Chinese translation. After the translation is completed, give you the translation completed document.
Or I can upload it to my workshop as a Chinese version

xiangfenglin1986 May 6 @ 11:17am

very good

Igitur [author] May 6 @ 7:51am

Version : 1.5.4.3

Fixed compatibility issues with Achilles, MCC and most likely other Zeus addons. Yay.

xiangfenglin1986 May 5 @ 7:37pm

When an HC module is not enabled in a missions, it will cause Achilles and other zeus mods to fail. Can it be repaired?

Igitur [author] May 5 @ 2:43pm

Version : 1.5.4.2

. Changed : Regrouping subgroups no longer cancels a 'Wait' order issued to the lead group.
. Changed : Issuing a 'Follow Me' command now does cancel a 'Wait' order given to the subgroups.
. Added a 'Tactical pace' entry in the group's speed menu. The selected speed mode can now be passed to the subgroups through the Chain of Command.
. Added a 'Automatic' entry in the group's speed menu. Subgroups in formation will automatically tend to adapt their speed to the leader's speed (unless too far from their expected position).
. Added a 'Dive in Depth' entry in the group's speed menu. Works either for divers or submarines.

Hotfix 1.5.4.1

Chain of Command was broken as well as some core functionalities in the Regroup/Formation system.

DarkKore1234 Mar 16 @ 7:20pm

This is fantastic - it extends all the basic functionality that HC should have came with out of the box.

I do have one request though - is it possible to add support for slingloading? Ie. Pick the vehicle the helicopter should sling load and then drop it off at another location?

TheLo Feb 20 @ 10:33am

Really awesome work!!! Btw I've tested a few mods and even in Internet MP Ares has compatibility issues, the Zeus cannot place almost any of the Ares modules, still good job thou

Machiya Feb 2 @ 2:30pm

@Igitur : Just got around to testing it -- works perfectly.

Igitur [author] Jan 31 @ 7:45am

@Machiya : Helis work just the same as the land vehicle shown in the first video (check at 1:50). The proper sync sequence is explained in the Enhanced Waypoints note just above.

Machiya Jan 31 @ 2:06am

Awesome Mod. Solved HC supression; my bad, my keybinds! Loving the firepower.

Next, has anyone sorted co-ordinating Helicopter pickup/drop offs? WLT get this working.

Igitur [author] Jan 30 @ 6:22am

Version : 1.5.4. First pass on convoys. Please read the change notes for more info on usage.

@Roostergod : I've tried Achilles and MCC. They seem to work fine in SP and MP when hosted on internet. The modules are indeed greyed out when hosted on LAN though. No clue why.

Roostergod Jan 19 @ 11:57am

they both add new modules to zeus, when hcc is also installed some of them dont work

Dekker Jan 19 @ 8:48am

Ok,and for a waypoint wich make the squad pack and unpack weapons,for mortar squad and stuff like that...Can be this possibile?

Igitur [author] Jan 18 @ 9:59pm

@Dekker : Not possible with the current WP types. Maybe later.
@Roostergod : I dont use those mods, so I cant say. I'll check them out when I find some time. Any specific issue to report ?

Roostergod Jan 18 @ 5:23pm

will you ever add mcc and ares/achilles compatability?

Dekker Jan 15 @ 9:32am

It is possibile to unload only a squad in a veichle waypoint,because when i try and set get out order for the squad i want to get out and for veichle i set unload,this will result in veichle drop every squad in that waypoint,also if i make a convoy squad,it is possibile to adjust that?That drop only the interested squads?

Dekker Jan 15 @ 3:22am

yea solved,did nt know i had to set custom com

Igitur [author] Jan 12 @ 2:29pm

Version 1.5.3 is out. Please read the changelog.

@ Tsundere : glad to hear ! Regarding positional vs directional, please check out this post on the BIS forum : https://forums.bohemia.net/forums/topic/185710-hcc-high-command-converter-153/?do=findComment&comment=3071022
@ Dekker : 1. Make sure your 'open menu 1...10' are bound to sth in your settings. 2. Test the mod with the "Commanding" showcase. Some missions like Antistasi remove all EventHandlers at mission init and break everything but themselves. There's nothing I can do in this case.

Dekker Jan 11 @ 2:34am

I dont have these commands,even if i installed the mod,when i command my platoons on map i cant reallt do anything,menu just close,what i have to do?

GenUTK Jan 8 @ 7:55pm

Somehow, adding in ACE3 seems to make it work, I was able to give my coop budies their own ai squadmates and their own group, and since ACE3 has the option to become a squad leader (regardless of rank) the players can assume command if they're not initially selected as team leader. I'm still a bit confused between Positional and Directional under the "Follow Me" command, but other than that the mod works flawlessly.

Igitur [author] Dec 30, 2017 @ 3:22am

I'm doing nothing specific to prevent what you're trying to do but the function is meant to give you HC control over the group you've created. So you're basically trying to HC control another player, and I'm not sure how Arma would handle that. Also, your buddy must be ranked higher than the other units to get the lead.

GenUTK Dec 21, 2017 @ 8:47am

There seems to be a problem when creating an HC group with another player in it (MP), I wanted to give my coop buddy his own group with a few ai, but after the group is made the ai joins back to my group and he's the only member of the newly created group. (We're playing dynamic combat ops by the way).

Igitur [author] Dec 16, 2017 @ 6:26am

Hotfix 1.5.2.2

Igitur [author] Dec 15, 2017 @ 3:29pm

Version 1.5.2 has been released.

This update aims at making the mod more streamlined and user friendly. It also focuses on large scale gameplay by making arrays more persistent and meaningfull.

Changelog :

1. Pre-definition of arrays : mission makers can now define arrays in their mission's init file.
2. Gameplay : 'Stop Following' is no longer mandatory to take back direct control over a subgroup.
3. Gameplay : the Regroup/RTF system has been reworked to better differentiate arrays.
4. I've changed the 'Vehicle Speed' menu to provide a wider range of controllable speeds.

Please read the changelog for a more in-depth explanation.

Molyneaux41 Oct 3, 2017 @ 1:26pm

spot on buddy XD

Blakmane Oct 2, 2017 @ 3:42pm

Great to hear, thanks Igitur!

Igitur [author] Oct 1, 2017 @ 10:02am

Hotfix 1.5.1.1 released. No new feature but the mod should work again as intended.

AchillesFromGreece Sep 30, 2017 @ 11:37am

Hey man how long till it's fixed?

Igitur [author] Sep 20, 2017 @ 10:50am

Sorry guys I didn't check the mod for months. It looks like it got broken with the latest game update. I'm on vacation atm but i'll take a look when i'm back home. It might take a few weeks. Thank you for your patience.

mysales89 Sep 18, 2017 @ 4:09pm

Hello. I have the same problem described by Molyneaux41 on 9 Sep. The menu is unresponsive. Is there any solutions available? This mod will enhance the game for me tremendously if I can get it to work.

Blakmane Sep 13, 2017 @ 3:18pm

Mod functionality appears to be broken after the latest patch (LoW update). Any chance of an update? The 'move to high command' function is super useful and we've struggled to find similar functionality in a different mod.

Reaper Sep 9, 2017 @ 8:25am

Have been trying to get this mod to work, is there a wiki for setting it up in a mission?

Molyneaux41 Sep 9, 2017 @ 3:43am

Same for me. The menu is unresponsive. Only happened a couple of days ago

The_RealStarlord Sep 8, 2017 @ 2:56pm

Does not work for me. The menu is there but does nothing.

DryBones Jul 12, 2017 @ 8:11pm

Is this mod still working? or is out of date?

brake_stand Jul 7, 2017 @ 8:15pm

Thank you for the reply Igitur, but you know what! I found the exact problem was that I needed to actually bind the "Open Menu" keys to somthing to have them open! lol! Apparently my "Open Menu" keys weren't actually bound to anything! Doh. Anyway this mod has totally changed the way I play the game now. Thank you again!

Igitur [author] Jul 3, 2017 @ 12:06pm

@brake_stand : a few users have been reporting the same issue over the last two years but I've never been able to replicate. I can only recommend to use the default keybinds for the menus and suggest to hit backspace when in High Command to display the general HC menu. You can then try to access the specific menus for your selected HC groups from there. And yes last time I checked (2 months ago) it worked totally fine with DUWS.
@Yuqi : LCtrl is not needed. Just click MMB on a WP to start/end the drawing.
@Iparkerzo : Vacant Groups are only available when other playable groups are found in the mission. I think I'll add a more general 'Add All Groups of Side' options for SP in the next update.

brake_stand Jul 2, 2017 @ 8:57pm

This mod seems like exactly what I've been looking for. But I am also having the same problem as AlchemicalWizard in that pressing the "menu" keys with an HC squad selected does nothing but de-select the squad.. I am trying it with DUWS Enhanced but another user said he was using it in DUWS just fine?

yuqi_19821982 Jun 26, 2017 @ 10:27am

O, sorry, its my fail, i draw line by CTRL+LMB..., the right operation is CTRL + MOUSE MIDDLE BUTTON

yuqi_19821982 Jun 26, 2017 @ 9:57am

It looks like the SYNC-WP can not be set by line drawing. When i try to starting drawing line, the wp will follew my mouse, is this normally?

AlchemicalWizard Jun 26, 2017 @ 4:47am

I've installed the mod, and i can tell it's installed from the extra options in HC such as the regroup and watch commands, but the menu's won't pop up after pressing any number keys on my keyboard.
