so cool

Absolute classic of a mission

Very creative mission! I love this one

Hi guys, been looking all over net for solution but a few of the ideas ppl posted dont work.

basically any steam missions i download will not save after io close arma 3 for a good few hours.If i close A3 and open it back up within around 10 mins ,it saves.i was told to cut and paste the PBO files from steam folder to A3 folder but no joy. this is just steam missions. Would appreciate any help. thanks.

I feel like this mod could be expanded into its own entire game, honestly.

I loved the mission it was pretty ingenius. I do have a complaint and a suggestion. The side mission, "pay respects" wasn't working for me. I went to the small chapel in the middle of the graveyard, and I also went to the altar in the unknown soldier part of the graveyard. I couldn't find an option to "press f to pay respects" although this could very well just be my fault. And my suggestion is that if you could maybe install an option to choose how much AI appear in the town. I personally would love to get into a fight with about a hundred AI making every corner turned and every street crossed a most probable death.

Ok thank you still!

@Kev2play I use a feature provided by Bohemia (the makers of ArmA) to do the "corpse cleanup". But I think it would be possible to write such a script, or find one and use it. It's a good idea but not one I'm likely to have the time to do, unfortunately.

Well thank you for the response, must have been that I shot the wrong person, because I change hats very often it just is very weird, that i was running around with blue hats and suddenly one turns around and unloads in me. I still have another Idea, when people die they despawn which is fine, but if i drop a gun or vest somewhere on the ground it stays which looks pretty bad after some time, is it possible to make those dewpawn too without despawning mines?

@Kev2play Hmm, a tricky one. If you have no hat, you will get shot at by both sides. But for blue to shoot you while you have a blue hat? I can only think of two possibilities:

First, if you swap quickly mid-combat the AI may continue shooting at you until they can see you clearly. ArmA AI can be realistic (in some ways) because it never has perfect knowledge of the enemy.

Second, if you've been traitorous and killed blue hats while wearing a blue hat. (Though reports below suggest this particular feature is a bit lax, or perhaps not working at all.)

If anyone else notices such problems please do report them here. I do read every comment!

this mission has a real good concept, the spawning and despawning of enemies is a very good feature, but I dont like that you can not make your own storages and have to find a house that has enough storage in it to call it a "base". Also I realised something very gamebreaking and I am wondering if it is a bug. When you put on the red hat for example you get the message and wont get shot by red hats, but if you shoot a blue guy then and change to the blue hat, you get the message you now belong to the blue team, but they still shoot at me, like i had no hat or a red one equipped

I love this mission especially the non-stop respawn AI mechanism and the clearing up one of the dead AIs. I appreciate your hard work, plz do some more of this :D

I love this mission its all round a brilliantly made and designed scenario. im currently on my still first proper play through. ive done all objectives and im just stockpiling weapons and ammo just for fun and then i go round and just be part of the gang war (ive spent hours just having fun rather than escaping). but. i cant find a 12.7mm rifle. also. i find there isnt enough gang members distributed through most areas. i feel there could be an extra 20 at least on each side but thats just because i love my firefights. :D

Grrrrrrreat mission; absolute fun. Very well made. The concept is nothing short of genius. Good fun after all the straight forward missions.
One remark. I tried for the 50 kill 'bonus'. In fact it;'s easy (but for my fall off the tower...) because you can wear a cap and easily kill your own team from behind or whatever. They do not come after you. It should be: kill one of your own and you instantly become a member of the other faction.

Really creative mission with an interesting concept that I'd love to see more of in other ARMA mods or even other videogames. Heck, maybe a full-blown game could be made out of this. It's a bit easy once you get the red hat, though, and most of the objectives are in red gang territory. Haven't tried the optional objectives for a second playthrough, though! It'll be interesting to play this as a pacifist next time.

Very funny and entertaining mission. Thanks for your lot of work. I've voted.

Really enjoyed playing this mission. Very fun and creative.

really reminds me of Red vs. Blue (web series). keep up the gud work

Kill them all !!! ypa !!!
lol

:)

Would be really cool to see this adapted to be played on Tanoa ^^

@Blickup115. Yeah, something like this would do well in Tanoa. An infinite fire-fight in the jungle! But I need to find the time...

Make an updated version in tanoa? tried making it myself but im not so good at it XD

It seems to happen even if i havent shot any opposing colours, but it's not really a big problem. Great Work regardless.

@Jiggles I did script that in. Not sure why that's not working. It could be you killed so many enemies that you're considered a hero and to become a traitor you need to kill a lot of friendlies. But more likely it's because the script isn't working right.

For some reason regardless of how many same colour units i shoot even if i do it in front of other same colours they never turn on me, this seems to occur with and without mods

update on my W of the H crash problem -- fixed! I installed 64 bit OS and added an extra swap file. I don't really know if this means Arma 3 has a problem with 32 bit OS, but I doubt it. So please spare yourself any further trouble on this. Your scenario is fine. (By the way I've been playing it for many hours, it's genius)

@Vicious Lee Thanks for taking the time to report. When I've got some time, I'll see what I can find out.

I should have added that when War of the Hats crashes on me, it often causes the whole OS to lock up and I have to restart the computer (Windows 7 32 bit). Fun mission though! Once it lasted a few minutes before crashing and I was able to obtain a weapon and get a bonus thing before being shot by an Other Hat. Really a cool concept for a mission, and seems to be well executed. This is probably an Arma 3 1.62 bug or set of bugs

For me, War of the Hats does not work on 1.62, total crash every time. It starts, then after a minute or so, frame rate drops to about 6, then total freeze. Also, video resolution drops drastically at the same time, all graphics details nearly vanish.

@Heethan13 Thank you for the confirmation. As for third person, doesn't that depend on what difficulty you use? See here [community.bistudio.com]; I think on Veteran it is never allowed.

Can confirm, works with Apex. Any thought to adding third person to this?

@Johan I like to keep my missions mod- and addon-free.

uh.using those guns in the mods that i have installed..Sorry for my poor English

@Johan What is "random mod gun"?

hi,would it be more fun let soldiers use random mod gun?

I've made some tweaks and it appears that this mission is now working in Apex. If anyone plays I would love confirmation; especially from people who don't have Apex (but do have the Apex patch).

@_Heyah_ Turns out the save game bug is a bug in Apex. Read more here [forums.bistudio.com].

@_Heyah_ That is not intended. I'll look into it when I investigate what people are saying regarding the expansion patch (see earlier comments).

@Joe 2.1.3 Yes, I might get it working with the expac and then copy it to a fun location on the new expan island. But: it may not be soon as I've a lot on my to-do list.

If I save and restart the game, I have to completely restart the mission from scratch. Is that intended or am I doing something wrong?

@Nichevo Any chance you might find the time to make a Tanoa version as well?

@Joe 2.1.3 Not exactly surprising... but that's a shame. Thank you for letting me know. I'll try to fix, but I'm not sure when I can find the time. When I do fix I will report back.

Downloaded Apex and it seems to have broken the scenario.

Great mission - cool idea and well executed, I reckon there is room to make it more difficult though.

9/10.

If if this mission had RHS weapons, It might be the only mission I would play, great fun though.

One of the best Ive played so far...so much replayability..
Thanks

By the spirit of my ancestors, I do hope these non-ostentatious Pyrgosians learn to settle their differences and restore peace to the capital.

Mind making more of these? I'll donate if I have to. We need more flawless, intensely fun, vanilla missions with a shit ton of CQB on the market. Most don't work.

Fun and tense little scenario! I'd love to see a version where the item locations are randomized and the gang member count is increased, maybe with armed technicals added to the mix. Overall though really enjoyable, and that final run to the boat was really exciting!

Fun times. Too easy though.
