So, I've released a few versions of a mission framework I have been working on, figured I should get a thread up to explain the features, bugs, limitations, and plans for it.

First of all, I would like to thank Bert for all of his help in making the many scripts involved in this framework. Without his help, tons of the awesome features would be nothing more than a dream.


Features
- Draggable ammo crates and mortars
- Loadable (into trucks) ammo crates and mortars
- Rallypoint system
- Scoreboard dialog which displays all groups, and shows the negative score of all players who have incurred team damage (also for other sides)
- Disposable AT weapon system
- Paraflare system
- Mortar artillery system (BIS Module)
- Mortar rearm system
- Limited respawn system
- Alternative crosshair system
- Alternative nametag system
- Vehicle towing system
- Spectator script
- Weapon angle measurement system
- AI artillery support
- AI strategic support
- AI respawn

Known Issues
- Sometimes the player nametags will stop working, no way to get them back, disconnecting and reconnecting does not solve
- You can exploit the mortar rearm system
- If you die while holding a launched disposable AT weapon, it can be used again
- Dragged objects can sometimes be teleported into the ocean when there is a lot of desync
- You can drag objects when players are in them
- AI mortars can be very accurate and deadly

Planned Features
- Update mortar rearm system, have magazines separate and a limited amount
- Get crate unloading to be smoother
- Attempt to fix disposable AT exploit
- Crew restrictions on vehicles, ie: mortars
- Make MH-60 crate loadable
- Allow MTVRs to tow vehicles/objects


The main reason for making this mission is to create a framework for coop and adversarial missions that can be easily made with many features common to each mission.

Currently, I am looking to complete the light infantry coop mission and then working on a light infantry adversarial mission. I'll probably move on to mechanized infantry after that, with some APCs. Again, a coop first, then adversarial. Depending on how well the mission is received, many more could be easily made, same thing, but in a different area.

I appreciate everyone's patience and willingness to test out missions, it is extremely helpful to be able to test missions with a high player count. I am attempting to streamline things as best as possible to have as little impact on performance as possible. I am not going to release a "proper" mission until I am reasonably satisfied all the major issues and bugs are sorted out.

Mission crashes like Friday night are probably the worst problem - and the hardest - to solve, so again I appreciate everyone's effort and help in solving these issues.
