The next iteration of the original Military Operations Series by Blackheart_Six, a MANW 2025 finalist.

  • Expanded to 3 Worlds
  • 3 distinct scenarios
    • Special Forces (Combat Ops PvE),
    • US Army Rangers (CTI PvE)
    • Combined Arms (CTI PvE)

Military Operations 2: Special Forces is up and running on the [OFFICIAL] Military Operations 2 - (US-VA) server

MILITARY OPERATIONS 2: SPECIAL FORCES
Operating as a 12-man Special Forces ODA team, you conduct direct action and special reconnaissance missions against the Soviet Union on the Island of Arland. Arland serves as a training base for Spetsnaz candidates going to Kolguyev and Everon theater of operations. Arland also serves as a weapons storage and maintenance facility. Your missions include indirect fire missions, sabotage infrastructure, destroy equipment, mining operations, ambushes, and seize area.
Scenario ID:
{1AECAF1A312F6430}Missions/MilitaryOperations2_SF.conf

MILITARY OPERATIONS 2: US ARMY RANGER
Up Next! Kolguyev Island, a major Soviet forward operating base and communications facility. Critical to the Soviets in communicating with their nuclear boomer submarines operating in the GIUK gap of the North Atlantic. As a member of a US Army Rangers, you are the tip of the spear in the invasion of Kolguyev and stopping a possible nuclear war.
Scenario ID:
{9317014A847A54B7}Missions/MilitaryOperations2_R.conf

MILITARY OPERATIONS 2: COMBINED ARMS
The Soviets attempt to cut NATO's Atlantic supply lines by attacking Everon and establish control of the Malden archipelago. This will allow them to control the North Atlantic and invade Iceland. As a member of the 3rd Brigade, 2nd Armored Division (FWD) you must stop the Soviets and take back Everon.

For Your Information...
The LAV-25's maximum speed in water is around 6 to 6.5 miles per hour (10 kph), using its built-in rear propulsors to propel it across lakes, rivers, and shallow coastal waters as an amphibious vehicle, while its land speed reaches up to 62 mph.
Key Water Performance Details:
Speed: ~6-6.5 mph (10 kph)
Propulsion: Uses two rear-mounted water jets/propulsors.
Capability: It's fully amphibious, meaning it floats and can swim.

This is surprisingly good. I got an HVT mission and while doing recon I saw a group get ordered to do PT or something. They ran in line to an obstacle course and started doing push-ups while an officer stood there doing some command emotes in front of them 😆
Completed the hit, flanked and decimated the QRF, called for helo exfil (EE heli transport/radio actions) and went back to the FOB.

The level of detail is great. It’s fun solo with “AI” and I can’t imagine how good it is with a solid squad. This has so much potential. Definitely gonna be awesome for milsim groups to use for some ops.

Military Operations 2: Special Forces

  • turned on dynamic spawn/despawn on layers.
  • test performance and stuttering
  • removed jp,ko and ch languages
west sable
#

Let's try putting AI on dynamic spawn/despawn. I don't like using it due to the stuttering you get when you cross into a dynamic area.
I think the best solution is having the AI spawn when task is assigned for that area. But that limits the amount of AI interaction getting to the objective.

Just put this on my server to try out properly later. First impressions are excellent - I love how 'alive' it feels with random patrols and stuff. Really good stuff 🫡

One request tho - is there any chance the faction restrictions could be removed from the arsenal box? 🙏🏻 We use some modded gear, and are unable to save loadouts unless a GM is on to place an additional arsenal box.

Even 1 AI per second or even less could help. The issue is when all AI renders at the same time. I know a few mods that spawn AI over time and you don't really notice when they spawn in. Trainwreck Spawn System is one of those mods. Not saying you should use a mod for this but just so you get an idea.

Yep that would be the solution.

Hey man, just wondering if you had a fix inbound for the radio not generating additional tasks?

Also, don't seem to be able to attach the remote detonated explosives to things...

Other than that - really good on there.

There was about 10 of us on my server playing SF last night and it was really good fun! Really like how it doesn't hold your hand for you and you have to actually think and read to progress.

Keep up the good work sir 🫡

west sable
# copper pawn Hey man, just wondering if you had a fix inbound for the radio not generating ad...

The issue with the radio not generating additional tasks goes to a problem with restorelayertodefault not working with tasks. I keep checking it but no fix. A ticket has been put in but I don't ever see anything getting fixed for scenario framework. It is a long process to get things corrected.
If they don't fix it soon I am going to have to come up with an alternate solution that may not involve using a radio. Like making it like combat ops and spawn more tasks at once. I know it is a real pain in the ass having to restart the server as a work around. Priority 1 right now.

The remote demo charge is designed for one task. The remote kill task. I should take it out of the arsenal to eliminate its use. It must be put in the trunk of the vehicle to complete the remote kill task. I removed the ability to stick it to objects for that reason.

west sable
#

I appreciate all the positive feedback! I have put in a lot of effort to make sure things work in a dedicated environment this time around. I didn't do that much testing for MilOps 1 and it shows now.

copper pawn
# west sable The issue with the radio not generating additional tasks goes to a problem with ...

Ahhh ok, could a random mission generator thing work? Similar to how Darc has his one? Just on a larger scale with longer time to complete etc - and then upon completion it automatically generates the next tasking.

Just an idea - I don't know enough about this side of things to comment properly 😂

Regarding the charges - thought as much, just wanted to flag it incase it wasn't intentional.

That remote kill mission had us stumped for ages, because we're simple British folk and didn't read the instructions properly 😂😂

west sable
#

"That remote kill mission had us stumped for ages, because we're simple British folk and didn't read the instructions properly 😂😂"

LOL! Yea that is one of the more complicated tasks and does require you to be at a GCE-level. 🤣

#

Yes, I could make it so you don't even have to go back to the COB before getting a new task but once again it depends on the restorelayertodefault to work correctly. I can look at DARC and see what it is doing.

copper pawn
# west sable Yes, I could make it so you don't even have to go back to the COB before getting...

Either way, it's great fun!

I think I've said before, but I love how alive it feels - with AI just plodding around doing random stuff.

A few vehicle patrols or random helicopter passing over - even civilian cars driving past would really top it off, but I appreciate the immersion vs performance thing is always going to be an issue I guess..

EE_Frontline ops is another good one with random task generating, similar to Darc Missions.

Really looking forward to how this develops.

Pro-tip from a non-professional...
Look for intelligence folders in the objective area. They may lead to additional tasks.

MILITARY OPERATIONS 2: SPECIAL FORCES
Due to issues with the scenario framework restore layer to default not working with tasks properly I've done a complete rework of the scenario. It is currently being tested on a dedicated server and if good there I will update and release.

  • No radio to launch tasks.
  • 4 Patrol bases to randomly start at.
  • You are now going to conduct Long Range Reconnaissance Patrols (LRRPs) across the island.
    • Free roaming. You and your unit decide where to go.
  • As you move across the island you will be assigned tasks.
  • You should be able to maintain persistence on server as long as you don't restart. **NEEDS FULL TESTING! **

In regard to GM persistence mod, I noticed a delay in the arsenal spawning with the players hub. Could be an issue with the arsenal when delayed and then doesn't finish spawning.

# clever coral Running this on one of our servers and it's going well with the mods we have. W...

Short answer No. I don't like GM because it completely changes the intention of how I built the mission.

For example, Military Operations 2: Special Forces is designed as a Special Forces A Team infiltrated on to Arland so it is expected not to have any vehicles, HQ, helipads etc. Now for US Army Rangers it will have the ability to build a base after you capture the major objection for one of the 4 starting operations. And then of course you can move supplies forward and build as you go. The same will be with Combined Arms.

clever coral
#

Sounds good was just wondering. Now that you explained what your vision is for the mission it makes sense. Excellent work on building these scenarios that are different from everything else.

#

The enemy killed me before i could even get out of the arsenal. Not sure what I did to them but man, they are mad! 😆

So GM was removed just to shoehorn people on their own servers into playing it exactly how you want them to?

bleak shale
#

IE GM persistent loadouts

wicked agate
# bleak shale Well I could see why if people were reporting issues due to GM and not how meant...

I’ve never had issues with that. But I used GM to change some weather, CRX Ai settings, RHS CISS, etc.
and in the AR scenario we’re definitely not starting with a ranger loadout and there’s no way to get an arsenal until you build one way later.
From his response, I took it as “play this exactly how I want or don’t play at all”. Which is fine. It’s his mod to do with what he pleases. But if people spawning vehicles is what he’s trying to stop, well there’s ways around that without GM. And yes I could make a settings preset into a mod IF I could use workbench but I’m on PS so yeah. Sucks for me I guess 😆

  2. For grid coordinate 01340295
  • Read across the bottom from the left to the RIGHT to 013.

Military Operations 2 is now a limping along.

I crashed my C drive on my PC and didn't have a backup. Lessons learned.

I've recovered about 99% of the work but the string table is not able to copy over from the workshop version and all text would need to be recreated. The texture .edds files would need to be recreated as well. My apologies. I'll leave it up on the workshop for a bit but it will degrade with updates and need to be pulled down. I am working on learning to script so that is my focus for now.

I have to figure out the string tables and create new ones. Take a very long time to that.

Yea tell me about it. I lost awhole lot of work. I might be able to salvage it. The custom text and localization is the killer.

Yea I have github too, just didn't put this project up on it. @olive steeple The extraction worked. Thanks for that. Only thing missing is the string table file. All the text and .conf files are there but the .st file is not. Looking into it.
