Fixed Hetman War Stories Altis WIP
This is an attempt to update Hetman war storeies with the NR6 version as well add previously unused units like planes, VTOLS, drones, and UAVs. It is mostly a proof of concept right now but it’s still playable and I hope to make this conform more and more to the original scenario. Hopefully one day it will have the morale system and proper custom faction support for the newer vehicles/drones. Currently planes/drones only spawn from vanilla and DLC factions all at once.
— ———————————————————————————————————————————————————- To do list:
[POSSIBLY ALREADY DONE] -Create ground drone spawns
-Add UAV operators to spawns
[DONE] -Fix aircraft spawn location to be more random
-Make all of the above playable
-Naval combat?
-Fix commander spawn location
[ALMOST DONE]-Fix scripting issues
-Combine old campaign/morale/support system with new HAL system
-Make spawned planes ,and/or drones, and/or boats [if added] spawn modded factions.
– Make added spawns correlate with army position better
-Add commander relocating after their spawn is fixed [Vehicles will transport them to new locations as the battle changes]
-Add unused statics [Radar, Laser designators, SAM, etc…]
-Make planes less likely to spawn [Currently=50/50 chance. Desired=20/80 chance]
-Add unused vehicles like the Huron for example
-Add mechanic to drop morale after commander is killed
-Improve performance
-Extreme weather? [Inspired by Bf 2042]
————————————————————————————————————————————————————– I make no promises I can get most or any of these done simply because I’m not good at scripting. If you think you can improve on it, then by all means do so. I’d love to see this mode properly updated. I’ll do my best to improve this where I can and if I get better at scripting I’ll vastly improve it. That is… if I get better.
————————————————————————————————————————————————————– Issues:
– Three or four error codes appear sometimes from conflicts and unused code .
-Commanders don’t spawn with the rest of the soldiers.
-Only vanilla and DLC aircraft/drones spawn at the moment
-Sometimes randomizing a new role will lock your new character in place [RARE]
-Loud explosive noise at start
-Planes sometimes fly in circles and don’t join the battle
-Intro can be slow especially with mods
-Morale system not working properly resulting in messages that the battle is won or lost without the mission ending
-Is addictive
————————————————————————————————————————————————————– Improvements:
-Randomizing a new role doesn’t disable the AI of the last one [Pretty sure that was a problem].
-Dogfights, strafing runs, and bombing runs often at low altitude.
-Vehicles are more often tasked with giving infantry a lift.
-Cargo trucks actually do things.
-Occasionally get huge convoy if commander feels like it as well as many other strategies.
-Call for medevac, fuel, repair, etc…etc…
-Planes usually fly in formation which looks awesome.
-Is more addictive [If you can ignore the error codes currently].
-Added or planned to add all vanilla assets previously unused
-No more sprinting the entire time to keep up with your squad unless in active combat
The list goes on…
————————————————————————————————————————————————————– CREDITS:
-Hetman and Hetman War Stories was created by Rydygier.
-NR6 was created by NinjaRider600 I take no credit for either. I simply want to update one of my favorite scenarios.
————————————————————————————————————————————————————–
Current changes:
-Replaced old Hetman with new HAL system
-Added possibility for each side to get up to 10 planes/drones per team. [EAST from North-east, East, and South-east, WEST from South-west, West, and North-west]
-Added most optional features from NR6 HAL
————————————————————————————————————————————————————–NOTES:
– I have the commander set up to have a slight delay when giving orders for realism. You can turn it off in the editor on the commander modules.
– I looked at the script and ground drones should already be in the game. Let me know in the comments if anyone sees them so I don’t need to add more.
– Very basic and very bugged but you will get a pretty good game most of the time.
